Torpor is a hypothermic, hypoactive, hypometabolic state entered into by a wide range of animals in response to environmental challenge.This review summarises the current understanding of In Ground Product (Solar) torpor.We start by describing the characteristics of the wide-ranging physiological adaptations associated with torpor.Next follows a di

Collision tumors of the ovaries are rare, with only a few reports in the literature.Adult granulosa cell tumors are a relatively common primary tumor component of previously reported collision tumors.The combination of serous and mucinous tumors with adult granulosa cell tumors has been reported in several cases.On the other hand, mesonephric-like

Abstract Background Citomegalovirus (CMV) infects approximately 1% of live newborns.About 10% of the infants affected by congenital CMV infection are symptomatic Wrap at birth and up to 60% of these infants will develop permanent neurological disabilities.Depending on gestational age (GA) at the time of infection, the involvement of central nervous

This paper analyses the undoped DG-MOSFETs capability for the operation of rectifiers for RFIDs and Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) at microwave frequencies.For this purpose, a large-signal compact model INOA has been developed and implemented in Verilog-A.The model has been numerically validated with a device simulator (Sentaurus).It is found th

Abstract Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) is a major abiotic factor affecting grain weight and quality, and is caused by an early break in seed dormancy.Association mapping (AM) is used to detect correlations between phenotypes and genotypes based on linkage disequilibrium (LD) in wheat breeding programs.We evaluated seed dormancy in 80 Chinese wheat fo
