Mobile devices such as smartphones are increasingly being used for immersive content consumption, mostly involving 360o̱ video and 3D audio media delivery. However these smartphones, especially low-cost ones, still not able to provide the processing battery power needed a real-time rendering, visualization interaction with photorealistic virtual reality scenes. In this context, paper proposes ev...

An investigation was conducted to study the robustness of the results obtained from the cellular automata model which describes the spread of the HIV infection within lymphoid tissues [1]. The analysis focussed on the dynamic behavior of the model when defined in lattices with different symmetries and dimensionalities. The results illustrated that the three-phase dynamics of the planar models s...

The modulation of auditory event-related potentials (ERP) by attention generally results in larger amplitudes when stimuli are attended. We measured the P1-N1-P2 acoustic change complex elicited with synthetic overt (second formant, F2Δ=1000Hz) and subtle (F2Δ=100Hz) diphthongs, while subjects (i) attended to the auditory stimuli, (ii) ignored the auditory stimuli and watched a film, and (iii) ...

Lycium barbarum, a famous Chinese medicinal herb, has a long history of use as a traditional remedy for male infertility. Polysaccharides are the most important functional constituent in L. barbarum fruits. We systematically investigated the effect of L. barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) on rat testis damage induced by a physical factor (43 degrees C heat exposure), on DNA damage of mouse testicul...

A new species of high elevation dwarf gecko (Gekkonidae: Lygodactylus) is described from Mount Namuli, northern Mozambique. This new species is distinguished from other closely related species in the genus Lygodactylus by body size, scalation, and color, and is genetically divergent from congeners. The species is most similar genetically and morphologically to Lygodactylus rex, the King Dwarf G...

background: the breeding performance is an important parameter to evaluate the breeding success in captive condition. the optimum hormone dose in combination with latency period is desirable for getting best breeding performance in fish. objectives: the objective of the study was to find the spawning latency period in the hormonal induced reproduction of snow trout with two inducers (ovaprim an...
