, 2022 Venomous snakes belonging to the family Viperidae, Elapidae, Colubridae and Hydrophidae, produces snake venom in order to facilitate immobilization and digestion of prey, act as defense mechanism against threats. Venom contains zootoxins which is a highly modified saliva that is either injected via fangs during a bite or spitted.

Watch out Venomous Snake Species: A Solution to SnakeCLEF2023 [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The SnakeCLEF2023 competition aims to the development of advanced algorithms for snake species identification through the analysis of images and accompanying metadata. This paper presents a method leveraging utilization of both images and metadata. Modern CNN models and strong data augmentation are utilized to learn better representation of images.

Optimal Axes of Siberian Snakes for Polarized Proton Acceleration [PDF]
Phys.Rev.STAccel.Beams7:121001,2004, 2004 Accelerating polarized proton beams and storing them for many turns can lead to a loss of polarization when accelerating through energies where a spin rotation frequency is in resonance with orbit oscillation frequencies. First-order resonance effects can be avoided by installing Siberian Snakes in the ring, devices which rotate the spin by 180 degrees

The electronic structure and dipole moment of charybdotoxin, a scorpion venom peptide with K+ channel blocking activity [PDF]
Computational and Theoretical Chemistry 963 (2011) 384-393, 2010 The electronic structure of charybdotoxin (ChTX), a scorpion venom peptide that is known to act as a potassium channel blocker, is investigated with the aid of quantum mechanical calculations. The dipole moment vector (145 D) of ChTX can be stirred by the full length KcsA potassium channel's macrodipole (403 D) thereby assuming the proper orientation ...

Anti-snake venom: use and adverse reaction in a snake bite study clinic in Bangladesh
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2008 Snakebites can present local or systemic envenomation, while neurotoxicity and respiratory paralysis are the main cause of death. The mainstay of management is anti-snake venom (ASV), which is highly effective, but liable to cause severe adverse ...
