Recently, power systems are drastically developed and shifted towards cyber-physical (CPPS). The CPPS involve numerous sensor devices which generates enormous quantities of information. data gathered from each sensing component needs to accomplish reliability highly prone attacks. Amongst various kinds attacks, false injection attack (FDIA) can seriously affects energy efficiency CPPS. Current ...

Sequence variations in the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene are associated with melanism in many different species of mammals, birds, and reptiles. The gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), found in the British Isles, was introduced from North America in the late 19th century. Melanism in the British gray squirrel is associated with a 24-bp deletion in the MC1R. To investigate the origin of ...

Dirofilariasis of animals and humans is a disease caused by nematodes the genus Dirofilaria (Railliet et Henry, 1911). The role wild predators, particularly red fox (Vulpes vulpes) (Linnaeus, 1758) in distribution pathogen world remains unclear. We studied occurrence immitis (Leidy, 1856) population fox. Twenty-seven foxes were examined during winter hunting season 2019–2020 Dergachi district, ...

Predation by invasive mammalian species is one of the key drivers native species' population declines and extinctions. Current management focuses on their removal from landscape. However, total can be difficult, costly even impossible. If eradication not achieved, reductions in predator numbers are often temporary. New tactics needed to target predators situ, reduce negative impacts. We test ef...

Rodents are shared intermediate or paratenic hosts for Echinococcus multilocularis, Toxocara spp. and Toxoplasma gondii, and may serve as valuable indicators for assessing the occurrence and the level of environmental contamination and infection pressure with free-living stages of these zoonotic parasites. We investigated 658 non-commensal rodents for parasite infections in the canton of Geneva...

The response of extracellular dopamine (DA) and its relationship to motivational valence (positive or negative) and novelty of motivational stimuli was investigated by brain microdialysis in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) shell and core and prefrontal cortex (PFCX) of rats. Stimuli were elicited by intraoral infusion of 20% sucrose, sucrose plus chocolate, quinine, and NaCl solutions, feeding of a...
