Optimizing the dengue virus infection mouse model: Comparing different backgrounds and infection route for enhanced stability

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Optimized dengue fever animal model: IFNAR−/− BALB/c mice with intraperitoneal injection. Background screening: Between IFNAR−/− (BALB/c, C57BL/6) and AG129 mice, IFNAR−/−BALB/c exhibited the most severe symptoms: (1) highest weight loss and clinical scores; (2) peak viremia (5.44 log10 RNA copies/mL, day 4); (3) significant organ damage (liver/brain ...

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Gleaning the Rocky Shore? 2500 Years of Coastal Resource Use at Red Bluff 1, GunaiKurnai Country, SE Australia

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shell middens in Gippsland along the eastern half of Victoria's coastline have usually been characterised as small, short‐duration camp sites with relatively low shell densities and low taxonomic diversity. Here we present new excavation results from a dense, high‐diversity site at Red Bluff near the eastern end of GunaiKurnai Country, a ...

Greybody radiation and quasinormal modes of Kerr-like black hole in Bumblebee gravity model

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021
In the framework of the Lorentz symmetry breaking (LSB), we investigate the quasinormal modes (QNMs) and the greybody factors (GFs) of the Kerr-like black hole spacetime obtained from the bumblebee gravity model.

Automated Feature Extraction and Classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets in the Puck Lagoon via Multisensor Remote Sensing

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a strong framework for the detection and classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets (SCHA) in shallow marine environments using the integration of multibeam echosounder and airborne LiDAR bathymetry with object‐based image analysis and fuzzy logic–based classification.
