Taxonomic over-splitting of extinct or endangered taxa, due to an incomplete knowledge of both skeletal morphological variability and the geographical ranges of past populations, continues to confuse the link between isolated extant populations and their ancestors.This is particularly problematic with the genus Equus.To more reliably determine the
Development of the technique for determination the rate of oxidation of structural steels in heavy liquid metal coolants
The article considers the main methods for studying the process of oxidation of structural steels and evaluating their corrosion resistance in heavy liquid metal coolants (HLMC) under static and dynamic conditions.It is shown that the main disadvantage of these methods is the impossibility of evaluating the results in real time.The authors propose
Diptera (Insecta: Pterygota) larvae as predators of Strongyloides stercoralis causing false negative stool cultures
A stool sample of a five-year-old boy with suspected STH infection arrived at the Laboratory of the Instituto de Investigaciones de Enfermedades Tropicales (IIET), National University of Salta in Oran, province of Salta, Argentina in 2017.Three Harada Mori were prepared, of which Locomotive only one showed the presence of S.stercoralis.In the other
Improved 3D Pavement Texture Reconstruction Method Based on Interference Fringe via Optimizing the Post-Processing Method
The surface quality of pavement has a significant influence on the driving comfort and the skid resistance performance of roads.The 3D pavement texture measurement provides the basis for engineers to calculate the pavement performance index, such as the international roughness index (IRI), the texture depth (TD), and the rutting depth index (RDI),
