Ex situ (captivity in zoos) is regarded as an important form of conservation for endangered animals.Many studies have compared differences in the gut microbiome between captive and wild animals, but few have explained those differences at the functional level due to the limited amount of 16S rRNA data.Here, we compared the gut microbiome of captive
Poc1 (Protein of Centriole 1) proteins are highly conserved WD40 domain-containing centriole components, well characterized in the alga Chlamydomonas, the ciliated protazoan Tetrahymena, the insect Door Protectors Drosophila and in vertebrate cells including Xenopus and zebrafish embryos.Functions and localizations related to the centriole and cili
The hybrid-voltage-source three-level inverter is a traction circuit system aimed at realizing energy savings with lithium-ion batteries traction pad for direct-current-electrified railway vehicles.However, this system has the limitation of being unable to freely control the power flow of the batteries owing to the pulse width modulation.However, b
The olfactory acuity of female mice allows them to discriminate the urinary odors of males.Parasitic infection can reduce the odor attractiveness of male mice to females and result in female aversion or avoidance responses in odor selection.However, the chemical signaling changes in the pheromone contents produced by the foreskin gland were not ful
In the early 2010s, with rising oil prices and increasing purchase orders for offshore structures for deep-sea resource development, the shipyards that took these orders suffered unexpected losses.Unlike the construction of commercial copyright vessels, the construction of offshore structures necessary to develop deep-sea resources is difficult to
