Abstract A dwarf sperm whale Kogia sima stranded alive along the Central Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. The whale, handled by tourists and local inhabitants, was weak, had buoyancy difficulties, eventually aborted died, showing severe necrotizing placentitis other pathological signs. Both mother fetus antibodies against Brucella lipopolysaccharide. organisms were isolated from various tissues bot...

Until quite recently, extending Phrase-based Statistical Machine Translation (PBSMT) with syntactic knowledge caused system performance to deteriorate. The most recent successful enrichments of PBSMT with hierarchical structure either employ non-linguistically motivated syntax for capturing hierarchical reordering phenomena, or extend the phrase translation table with redundantly ambiguous synt...

In recent years, Android has gained a lot of popularity with smartphone users, making it a target platform for malware. To protect the user, Android uses a permission system which limits an application’s access to private data. However, the users have no fine-grained control over which permissions are granted to the application. In order to mitigate this problem, this project introduces a novel...

First published September 16, 2015; doi:10.1152/ajpregu.00164.2015.—An adequate supply of oxygen is important for the survival of all tissues, but it is especially critical for tissues with high-energy demands, ...

IEEE 802.11 called service integration multiple access (SIMA) is proposed in this paper. SIMA is designed to support voice and data transmissions over wireless local area networks (WLANs). Since both voice and data traffics have different characteristics and service requirements, we use a hybrid scheme between time division multiple access (TDMA) which is suitable for constant-bit-rate (CBR) vo...

An adequate supply of oxygen is important for the survival of all tissues, but it is especially critical for tissues with high-energy demands, such as the heart. Insufficient tissue oxygenation occurs under a variety of conditions, including high altitude, embryonic and fetal development, inflammation, and thrombotic diseases, often affecting multiple organ systems. Responses and adaptations of...
