Abstract Background The aim of this study was to gain an understanding of the transcriptomic changes that occur in a wild species when infected with Toxoplasma gondii.The masked palm civet, an artifically domesticated animal, was used as the model of a wild species.Transcriptome analysis was used to study alterations in gene expression in the domes
Scene Toy text removal is a challenging task that aims to erase wild text regions that include text strokes and their ambiguous boundaries, such as embossing, shade, or flare.The challenging issues raised in the wild are not completely addressed by the existing methods.To address these issues, we propose a new loss function for blending two tasks i
Introduction The aims of this study were to evaluate 1) glymphatic system function in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) before initiating dialysis compared to healthy controls, and 2) changes in the glymphatic system function after kidney replacement therapy including dialysis in patients with ESKD using the diffusion tensor image analy
Ethology (the study of animal behaviour) offers useful insights for better understanding how musical sounds evoke emotions in listeners.Modern ethological R230M research has fused semiotic concepts like signals and indices with evolutionary theory.The concepts are illustrated using empirical research on sadness, grief, smiling, pouting, cuteness, a
Abstract Background The interaction between insects and plants takes myriad forms in the generation of spectacular diversity.In this association a species host range is fundamental and often measured using an estimate of phylogenetic concordance between species.Pollinating fig wasps display extreme host species specificity, but the intraspecific va
