He also compared the old days of gunplay that used polycaps to the improvements of modern kits. For the scene in Genshiken with the gunpla, Kio tried to break the hip joint of a real model for reference, but it wouldn’t snap. But he wanted to do the scene, so he had to force a...
Since giant pandas have visual and cognitive abilities, their response to human contact may lead to changes in behaviour and recognition, as has been found in domestic dogs (Canis familiaris)25 and cats (Felis catus)26 as well as birds27. The captive breeding of giant pandas has been so ...
Compared with giant panda habitat, the man-made forest habitat was characterized by lower shrub coverage, thinner trees and lower bamboo density. To improve the effectiveness of human restoration, the habitat requirement of giant panda should be fully consider in the whole process of habitat ...
Compared to other vertebrates, mammals are relatively conserved in pre-caudal vertebral formulae. Hominoids are intra-and inter-specifically quite variable in vertebral counts, and because their vertebral formulae are derived relative to non-hominoid primates and many other mammals, an understanding of...
In this work, we analysed the activity of transposable elements (TEs) in the transcriptomes obtained from female and male gonads of the Chinese fire-bellied newt,, a species with a genome about 12-fold larger than the human genome. We also compared these data with genomes of two basal ...
(a component of QCPA) using human vision as a proxy18. We compared this similarity-to-background metric in the giant panda to a variety of other species examined objectively along the “crypsis-conspicuousness spectrum”. Our results provide information on how conspicuous black-and-white ...
A picture of Andre the Giant’s boot compared to an average man’s shoe That boot above is indeed Andre’s. That’s a scary sight. Before Andre’s shoe size is revealed, for comparison’s sake – The Big Show is a size 22 US, retired NBA basketball starShaquille O’Nealis also siz...
16S rRNA gene-based profiling of the human infant gut microbiota is strongly influenced by sample processing and PCR primer choice Characterisation of the bacterial composition of the gut microbiota is increasingly carried out with a view to establish the role of different bacterial sp...

Fifteen genera of coelacanths are known in the Jurassic and Cretaceous, i.e. contemporaneous genera of the giantTrachymetoponandMawsonia. They were medium-sized fish, but proportionately small compared to the two giants, with seven genera whose body length did not exceed 0.5 m(Reidus, Swenzia...
compared to N2B titin, additional exons spliced in, and is therefore more compliant (i.e., it generates less force for a given extension)35,36. The upregulation of N2BA titin that was found in theTtnΔC1-2mouse can be viewed as a beneficial adaptation that offsets the increased passive...
