Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

Shedding light on the parasite communities and diet of the deep‐sea shark Deania profundorum (Smith & Radcliffe, 1912) (Squaliform: Centrophoridae) from the Avilés Canyon (southern Bay of Biscay)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Deep‐sea elasmobranchs are less resilient to the increasing scale of anthropogenic impacts such as fisheries, owing to their life‐history traits. The necessity for proper management measures is hampered by the scant knowledge on these taxa and their biology. Here we provide the first comprehensive insight into the parasite infracommunities and

The wide gape of snakes: A comparison of the developing mandibular symphysis in sauropsids

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Our analysis explores the adaptations at the mandibular symphysis required to allow extreme lower jaw mobility in macrostomate snakes taking a comparative approach. Abstract The origin and evolution of snakes has been marked by the acquisition of many morphological and functional novelties, one of which is the possession of a highly kinetic skull ...

Research on Intelligent Defrost Control Based on Parallel Plate Capacitor Principle

Zhileng xuebao
Addressing the issue of “erroneous defrosting” in the defrosting condition of the evaporator, a novel intelligent defrosting control strategy based on the principle of parallel-plate capacitor is proposed, a mathematical model of parallel-plate capacitor

The Efficacy of Food‐Grade Substances to Protect Dietary Glutamine From Ruminal Degradation

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study was conducted to investigate the use of four, low cost, food‐grade substances to protect glutamine from microbial degradation in vitro, and subsequently validate their efficacy in vivo. Two in vitro trials were conducted using 250 mL bottles replicated in triplicate to test beeswax‐, paraffin wax‐, zein‐, and rice bran wax ...

Perinatal clinical management of a rare ABh variant blood group

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The H antigen, precursor of the A and B blood groups, is a high‐prevalence antigen. Very few H antigen‐negative (H−) blood donors are available in the United Kingdom. Case Presentation We present the case of a second pregnancy in a 28‐year‐old woman with the very rare ABh phenotype, and the presence of anti‐H, anti‐A and anti‐B ...

Defrosting Evolution Behavior and Drainage Characteristic on Superhydrophobic Surface

Zhileng xuebao, 2020
After traditional thermal defrosting, a great number of water droplets still retain on the surface, which can become the base of secondary frosting and accelerate secondary frosting. Therefore, duly removing retained droplets after defrosting is of great

Evaluation of the rate of residual polystomatic sublingual acinar tissue without tunneling dorsal to the digastricus using a ventral or ventrolateral approach in cats

Veterinary Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To evaluate the rate of residual polystomatic sublingual acinar tissue if tunneling dorsal to the digastricus muscle and dissection to the sublingual caruncle is not performed during mandibular‐sublingual sialadenectomy in cats. Study design Cadaveric study. Sample population A total of 10 feline cadavers.
