Avian Influenza Virus (H5N1) Replication in Feathers of Domestic Waterfowl

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
We examined feathers of domestic ducks and geese inoculated with 2 different avian influenza virus (H5N1) genotypes. Together with virus isolation from the skin, the detection of viral antigens and ultrastructural observation of the virions in the ...

The relationship between the feather tuft of the uropygial gland and terrestrial/aquatic birds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The bird´s uropygial gland has a papilla in its caudal end and it can also show a feather tuft. These feathers may have a raquis or not. The purpose of our study was to compare the number, dimensions and types of the tuft´s feathers in aquatic and ...

Smooth affine surfaces with non-unique C*-actions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In this paper we complete the classification of effective C*-actions on smooth affine surfaces up to conjugation in the full automorphism group and up to inversion of C*.

The Impact of High‐Productivity Processing on the Fatigue Failure of an Additive Manufactured Superalloy HAYNES 282

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The low cycle fatigue life of additive manufactured HAYNES® 282® superalloy was investigated for conventional and high‐productivity processing: samples of the former lasted 1400–1700 cycles, while samples of the latter failed at ~ 1200 cycles, at 760 °C and 1% strain.

Extreme lightweight structures: avian feathers and bones

open access: yes, 2017
Flight is not the exclusive domain of birds; mammals (bats), insects, and some fish have independently developed this ability by the process of convergent evolution.

Photothermal Macroporous Lignin Cryogels for Off‐Grid, Continuous Atmospheric Water Collection via Interlayer Heat Recovery

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Photothermal, macroporous lignin‐based cryogels are engineered to convert sunlight into low‐grade heat. Integrated as stacked beds in a drum‐type device, a thin copper interlayer transfers waste heat between beds, enabling interlayer heat recovery and continuous solar cycling.

Effect of diet on the capacity to remove mercury from the body of a penguin (Spheniscus demersus) living in the ZOO

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2013
Birds due to its position in the trophic chain are good monitors of the marine environment in terms of mercury contamination. For the proper interpretation of results it is necessary to know both the processes of accumulation of this metal in their ...

Exposure of Magnificent Frigatebird (Fregata magnificens) and Brown Booby (Sula leucogaster) to Metals and Selenium in Rio de Janeiro State (Brazil) Coastal Waters

open access: yesOrbital: The Electronic Journal of Chemistry, 2018
This study used feathers of brown booby (Sula leucogaster) and magnificent frigatebird (Fregata magnificens) from Cagarras Archipelago, an area under strong anthropogenic influence, for evaluating the exposure of these seabirds to Cd, Sn, Mn, Cu and Se ...

Using field photography to study avian moult [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Methods to obtain moult data from wild birds have not changed much over the last century and most studies still depend on checking museum specimens or capturing birds.

Bio‐Inspired Multimodal Hardware Front‐End Enabled by 2D Floating‐Gate Memory for UAV Perception

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A MoS2/h‐BN /graphene floating‐gate memory underpins a bio‐inspired multimodal front end that integrates visual, inertial, and airflow cues. A 4 × 4 FG memory array encodes temporal intensity differences, while IMU‐ and airflow‐driven threshold modulation suppresses self‐motion artifacts, enabling fast, low‐power, robust autonomous UAV tracking and ...
