Abstract Background Asymptomatic Plasmodium infections are characterized by the absence of clinical disease and the ability to restrict parasite replication.Increasing levels of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in Plasmodium falciparum infections have been associated with the risk of developing clinical disease, suggesting that individuals with asymptoma
Using a comparative approach, we investigated the ability of dwarf goats and sheep to use direct and indirect information about the location of a food reward in an object-choice task.Subjects had to choose between two cups with only one covering a reward.Before making a choice, subjects received information about the baited (direct information) or
Selection and decision making is one of the most important current trends in economics theory.Neuroscience economics is a subset Vinyl of behavioural economics that uses empirical evidence such as computational constraints, willpower, and greed to inspire new economic theories.It also studies different parts of the brain that analyse decision-makin
The development, modeling, and performance of AmphiSTAR, a novel high-speed amphibious robot, are detailed in this paper.The robot is palm-sized and fitted with propellers at its bottom, enabling it to crawl on the ground and hover on the water at high speeds.The design of the AmphiSTAR is inspired by two members of the animal kingdom Nasal Cleanse
