CHARACTERIZATIONS OF ELEPHANT ENDOTHELIOTROPIC HERPESVIRUS TYPE 1A AND 4 CO-INFECTIONS IN ASIAN ELEPHANT (ELEPHAS MAXIMUS) CALVES

Characterizations of Elephant Endotheliotropic Herpesvirus Type 1A and 4 Co-Infections in Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus) Calves

Three cases of double infection with elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV) types 1A and 4 in captive Asian elephants are presented.The first calf was a 4-year-old female that showed initial signs of lethargy and depression.The second calf was a 6-year-old female that displayed signs of depression and diarrhea and died within French Presses 4

Cross-Comparison of Albedo Products for Glacier Surfaces Derived from Airborne and Satellite (Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8) Optical Data

Surface albedo partitions the amount of energy received by glacier surfaces from shortwave fluxes and modulates the energy available for melt processes.The ice-albedo feedback, influenced by the contamination of bare-ice surfaces with light-absorbing impurities, plays a major role in the melting of mountain glaciers in a warming climate.However, li

Design and Optimization of a Single-Mode Multi-Core Photonic Crystal Fiber With the Nanorod Assisted Structure to Suppress the Crosstalk

We propose and design a novel homogeneous nanorod-assisted multi-core photonic crystal fiber (NA-PCF), and it utilizes the flexibility of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) for air-hole design, NA-PCF applied to multi-core fiber (MCF) communication system.High refractive index nanorods are introduced in the center of the seven Coffee cores which are furt
