Sequence variation, evolutionary constraint, and selection at the CD163 gene in pigs
Background In this work, we investigated sequence variation, evolutionary constraint, and selection at the CD163 gene in pigs. A functional CD163 protein is required for infection by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, which is a serious

Sustainable energy projects and the community: mapping single building use of microgeneration technologies in London [PDF]
Microgeneration technologies offer the potential for distributed energy supply and consumption resulting in reduced reliance on centralised generation. Adoption of microgeneration for use in community settings is usually understood as having a beneficial
