ENDOPARASITE INFECTION HAS BOTH SHORT- AND LONG-TERM NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS OF FEMALE HOUSE SPARROWS, AS REVEALED BY FAECAL PARASITIC EGG COUNTS.

Parasites have the potential to severely reduce host reproductive success.However, the effects of endoparasites on reproductive success have not received the same amount of attention as the effects of parasites on host survival.We investigated the relationship between an avian endoparasite (gapeworm, Syngamus trachea) and both current and future re

Aim: The aim of the present case series report is to illustrate a clinical technique and present the application of onepiece transmucosal implants in flapless surgical procedures, supporting full arch immediate prostheses.Materials and methods: A total of 294 implants (Xive TG, Friadent, Germany) have been used to support full arch immediate prosth

We propose the design method for broadband acoustic metamaterials based on the concept of transformation acoustics.Two-dimensional distributed transmission-line (TL) models for full-tensor anisotropic electromagnetic metamaterials are applied to full-tensor Side Dishes anisotropic acoustic metamaterials and the design formulas are shown to uniquely
