A total of six genus and eight species that belong to three family Gruidae, Otidae Rallidae, Order Gruiforms; about 39specimens which are deposited in the birds collection Iraq Natural History Research Center Museum INHM were reviewed. In current study, morphometrics seven taxidermy Gruiform birds: Common CraneGrus grus (Linnaeus, 1758), Houbara BustardChlamydotis undulata (Jacquin, 1784), Wate...

To achieve a low-carbon and economical operation for the power grid, this paper proposes novel optimal carbon–energy combined flow (OCECF) by considering influence of aluminum plants. It attempts to minimize carbon emission loss, voltage deviation taking reactive control plants into account. Since presented OCECF is nonlinear complex optimization problem, new metaheuristic algorithm called Coot...

Abstract In this paper, load frequency control is performed for a two-area power system incorporating high penetration of renewable energy sources. A droop controller type 3 wind turbine used to extract the stored kinetic from rotating masses during sudden disturbances. An auxiliary storage applied achieve effective response. The coot optimization algorithm (COA) allocate optimum parameters fra...

The abundance of nineteen waterbird species was counted during traverses of the entire shorelines of 17 Rotorua lakes in the summers of 1985, 1991 and 1996, by members of the Ornithological Society of New Zealand, assisted by the Department of Conservation and the Eastern Region Fish and Game Council. Also, the locations of all individuals of NZ dabchick were mapped. The overall waterbird commu...

Avian vacuolar myelinopathy (AVM) is a disease of unknown etiology, which has been diagnosed in a variety of birds from surface water reservoirs in the southeastern United States. Pathology suggests a natural or anthropogenic compound may be the cause of this disease. With the goal of identifying the toxicant that causes AVM, we qualitatively analyzed sediments and American coot (Fulica america...

This preliminary study investigated the use of poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) nanoparticles for the delivery of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) vaccine pCAG-HAk, which expresses the full length hemagglutinin (HA) gene of the avian influenza A/Eurasian coot/Western Australian/2727/1979 (H6N2) virus with a Kozak sequence which is in the form of a pCAGGS vector. The loaded and unloaded...
