Questions concerning the role of nature and nurture in higher cognition appear to be intractable if one restricts one's attention to development in humans. However, in other domains, such as sensory development, much information has been gained from controlled rearing studies with animals. Here, we used a similar experimental strategy to investigate intuitive reasoning about occluded objects. N...

A novel amorphous cobalt tin composite oxide decorated with graphene nanohybrid (CoSnxOy/G) sensitized by Eosin Y (EY) exhibited excellent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity (974.6 μmol for 3 h) under visible light irradiation. The highest AQE of EY-CoSnxOy/G of 20.1% was achieved at 430 nm.

The genus Gallus is distributed across a large part of Southeast Asia and has received special interest because the domestic chicken, gallus domesticus, spread all over world major protein source for humans. There are four species: red junglefowl (G. gallus), green varius), Lafayette’s lafayettii) grey sonneratii). aim this study to reconstruct history these species by whole genome sequencing a...

Little is known about the early history of chicken ( Gallus gallus domesticus ), including timing and circumstances its introduction into new cultural environments. To evaluate spatio-temporal spread across Eurasia north-west Africa, authors radiocarbon dated 23 bones from presumed contexts. Three-quarters returned dates later than those suggested by stratigraphy, indicating importance direct d...

This study is the first proteomics analysis of the muscularis complexus (pipping muscle) in chicken (Gallus gallus) broiler embryos. We used differential detergent fractionation and nano-HPLC-MS/MS analysis to identify 676 proteins from all cellular components. The identified proteins were functionally classified in accordance with their involvement in various cellular activities.

OBJECTIVE To isolate and identify Cryptococcus from domestic Chicken dropping. DESIGN cross sectional study. SETTING Kabigeriet village, Olenguorone Division, Nakuru county, approximately 282 km from Nairobi, Kenya. SUBJECTS Sixty four domestic chicken droppings were sampled in thirty two homesteads after obtaining the farmers consent. RESULTS Two species of Cryptococcus were isolated. ...

Paratanaisia bragai is a trematode parasite that reaches sexual maturity in the kidney collecting ducts of domesticated and wild fowl and whose intermediate hosts are the snails Subulina octona and Leptinaria unilamellata. There are some discrepancies in descriptions of the pathology of this parasite in bird kidneys. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze the kidneys of rock pigeon...

Recent studies of mammals and fish indicate that most trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs) may be involved in the detection of volatile biogenic compounds. It has therefore been suggested that this new class of "olfactory" receptors could be highly relevant for social communication and individual recognition. To determine if TAAR orthologues are encoded in avian genomes, we initiated BLAST ...
