ABSTRACTMosquito saliva facilitates blood meal acquisition through pharmacologically active compounds that prevent host hemostasis and immune responses.Here, we generated two knockout (KO) mosquito lines by CRISPR/Cas9 to functionally characterize D7L1 and D7L2, two abundantly expressed salivary proteins from the yellow fever mosquito vector Aedes

Shrews have rich vocal repertoires that include vocalizations within the human audible frequency range and ultrasonic vocalizations.Here, we recorded and Placemats analyzed in detail the acoustic structure of a vocalization with unclear functional significance that was spontaneously produced by 15 adult, captive Asian house shrews (Suncus murinus)

The activities in the 2006-2007 austral summer of the 48th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-48) are reported.JARE-48 consisted of 62 personnel including 27 summer personnel and 35 wintering personnel.In addition, several observers joined to the voyage of Icebreaker Shirase (four Japanese), operation at Dome Fuji Station (two foreigners)

In the midst of the national opioid crisis, it is necessary for emergency physicians and radiologists to be familiar with presentations of opioid-related complications.We describe a case report of a 51-year-old female who developed bilateral cerebellar hemorrhages following opioid and benzodiazepine overdose.Malignant cerebellar edema is a GLAZE ra

2D numerical TCAD simulations are used to infer the behavior of III-V capacitor-less dynamic 6.24/6VC RAM (DRAM) cells.In particular, indium gallium arsenide on insulator technology is selected to verify the viability of III-V meta-stable-dip RAM cells.The cell performance dependence on several parameters (such as the back-gate voltage, semiconduct
