The third factor proposed by Diamond, the so-called 'peace dividend' of the Tokugawa, is the most controver- sial. It would be obtuse and indeed immoral to suggest that peace was not good for farming. Yet consider the following comments by Diamond (2005: 305): … the Tokugawa shoguns, ...
A group of porcupines is called a prickle. When they do gather as a group during the winter, you will find a group of up to 12 porcupines sheltering together. Habitat The New World porcupines are primarily found in the Americas; whereas, the Old World porcupines are often found in Europe...
In this paper, we consider the animal object detection and segmentation from wildlife monitoring videos captured by motion-triggered cameras, called camera-traps. For these types of videos, existing approaches often suffer from low detection rates due to low contrast between the foreground animals and...
Footnote 3 Dispositions are properties that are manifest only under specific conditions, so called manifestation conditions (Hüttemann and Kaiser 2018). For instance, the breakability of a glass is manifest only if, for instance, it is struck with a hammer. Terms such as ‘boldness’, ‘...
After several studies, a positional cloning approach allowed to identify a mutation in the rat Tsc2 gene (so called the Eker mutation) that is the predisposing factor for tumors in Eker rats [41], [44], [45], [46], [47]. Homozygous rat embryos (with the Eker mutation in two alleles...

Targeted gene analysis revealed increased expression in PI3K which is part of the so-called RISK-pathway which is a key part of the protective mechanisms of RIC in the heart. Overall, this transcriptomic analysis shows that RIC provides a protective effect to the intestine via anti-inflammatory ...
Fur, fine, soft, hairy covering or coat of mammals that has been important to humankind throughout history, chiefly for warmth but also for decorative and other purposes. The pelts of fur-bearing animals are called true furs when they consist of two elem
