To evaluate the presence of rickettsial agents in hippoboscid flies with molecular methods, 81 sheep keds (Melophagus ovinus) were collected from 23 sheep, 144 deer keds (Lipoptena cervi) were caught in the environment, and a further 463 and 59 individuals of the latter species were obtained from fresh carcasses of 29 red deer and 17 roe deer, respectively. DNA was extracted individually or in ...

A total of 181 faecal samples were collected from wild cervids in two regions of Poland. Giardia cysts were detected in one faecal specimen from red deer and in two samples from roe deer. Fragments of the beta-giardin (bg) triose phosphate isomerase (tpi) and glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh) genes were successfully amplified from the Giardia isolate obtained from red deer, whereas only amplicons o...

The investigations concerning the spirochaetes Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato were conducted in 169 Ixodes ricinus female ticks (141 collected from roe deer and 28 from red deer) as well as in 11 Dermacentor reticulatus female ticks from deer shot in the South-East of Poland. Moreover, a single female Dermacentor reticulatus from a dog and 9 collected from plants were examined. DNA was isolate...

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is an effective technology for reducing system load and improving performance. Recently, Ethernet offerings that exploit RDMA technology have become available that can potentially provide a high-performance fabric for MPI communications at lower cost than other competing technologies. The goal of this paper is to evaluate RDMA over gigabit Ethernet (ROE) as a ...

The flux-vector and flux-difference splittings of Steger-Warming, Van Leer and Roe are tested in all possible combinations in the implicit and explicit operators that can be distinguished in implicit relaxation methods for the steady Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. The tests include one-dimensional inviscid nozzle flow, and two-dimensional inviscid and viscous shock reflection. Roe’s splitti...

This data article provides cross-sectionals on the local values of the coefficients of ROE, R&D-TO-SALES, and TOTAL ASSET as regressors of the MARKET-TO-BOOK ratio and is related to the research article entitled "Do Local Causations Matter? The Effect of Firm Location on the Relations of ROE, R&D, and Firm Size with Market-to-Book" (A. Carosi, 2016) [1]. The data are aggregated at the regional ...

The aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition of roe deer meat considering the animals' sex and age and to estimate the content of amino acids in the meat from two selected groups of the animals, i.e. 2-3-year-old males and females. A further goal was to assess the biological value of proteins as compared to the FAO standard. The study has revealed that in proteins from the ro...

Background. Understanding species distribution, especially areas of overlapping habitat between sympatric species, is essential for informing conservation through natural habitat protection. New protection strategies should simultaneously consider conservation efforts for multiple species that exist within the same landscape, which requires studies that include habitat overlap analysis. Methods...

Seasonal migration pattern and home range of radio-collared roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) were studied in Lier, Norway, an area with a steep altitudinal gradient and a low population density of deer. Roe deer conformed to the usual pattern of temperate cervids with migration to low elevations during winter. Summer home-range size increased with increasing altitude, and only a small proportion ...
