Nature, 1913 MY statements as to the destruction of rare pheasants in the kingdom of Nipal were based, first, on facts which came to my notice when on or near the frontiers of Nipal in 1895, but a good deal more on the recent allegations made in the Calcutta Press, on the reports of an American ornithologist, and on other matter published in the pamphlets of Mr ...

Pancake Lenses through Curved Lamination for Compact Virtual Reality
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This article presents an ultrathin VR optical system based on a 1.35 in. microdisplay, leveraging curved lamination technology. Compared to mainstream solutions, the proposed design demonstrates superior compactness (volume compression by 12%) and enhanced optical performance.

Understanding the spacing of placodes in the eye: A comparative study across age and species
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The conjunctival placodes of the avian eye form in an intriguing and conserved sequence in a circular annulus around the cornea. These 13–16 placodes develop into papillae that are essential for inducing underlying intramembranous flat bones, known as scleral ossicles, which form an important part of the ocular skeleton.

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explored fasting‐induced physiological remodeling effects on meat quality in aged laying hens. Fasting for 15 days (F15) significantly reduced abdominal fat, intermuscular fat width, subcutaneous fat thickness, and liver index versus pre‐fasting (F0) (p < 0.05), which recovered post‐refeeding.

Social environment affects acquisition and color of structural nuptial plumage in a sexually dimorphic tropical passerine. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Structural colors result from the physical interaction of light with organic materials of differing refractive indexes organized at nanoscale dimensions to produce significant interference effects.

Laying hens in furnished cages [PDF]
, 2003 Concern for the welfare of laying hens housed in conventional cages has led to a change of the Animal Welfare Legislation in Sweden, implying that cages must provide possibilities for hens to lay eggs in a nest, to rest on a perch and to use litter. Such
