While the relationship between coyotes (Canis latrans) and house cats (Felis catus) may be characterized as one Non-Toy between predators and their prey, coyote interactions with domestic dogs (C.lupus familiaris) appear to be more varied and may include behaviors associated with canid sociality.While encounters between coyotes and dogs are difficu
Insights and inferences about integron evolution from genomic data
Abstract Background Integrons are mechanisms that facilitate horizontal gene transfer, allowing bacteria to integrate and express foreign DNA.These are important in the exchange of antibiotic resistance determinants, but can also transfer a diverse suite of genes unrelated to pathogenicity.Here, we provide a systematic analysis of the distribution
Improved DeepLabV3+ Network Beacon Spot Capture Methods
In long-range laser communication, adaptive optics tracking systems are often used to achieve high-precision tracking.When recognizing beacon spots for tracking, the traditional threshold segmentation method is highly susceptible to segmentation errors in the face of interference.In this study, an improved DeepLabV3+ network is designed for fast an
Molecular typing of bacteria of the genus Asaia in malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis Patton, 1905
The acetic acid bacterium Asaia spp.was successfully detected in Anopheles arabiensis Patton, 1905, one of the major vector of human Non-Toy malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa.A collection of 45 Asaia isolates in cellfree media was established from 20 individuals collected from the field in Burkina Faso.16S rRNA universal polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
