The digestive system of the beira (Dorcatragus megalotis), a small East African antelope, has not been described previously. We present anatomical data collected from the only known captive population of the species, allowing for a first understanding of the morphophysiological ‘type’ of this species. The gastrointestinal anatomy was quantified by weights, dimensions and areas, measured in a to...

A bstract We study the Higgs branch of SCFT limit 5d SO(6) and SO(8) gauge theory with hypermultiplets in spinor vector representations. In case theories, we contrast magnetic quivers obtained those SU(4) fundamental second rank antisymmetric Since theories admit several different values Chern-Simons level, make some observations about how to distinguish from brane webs theories. use triality p...
