HISTOPATHOLOGY AND SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF PUTATIVE GROWTH FACTORS IN RELATION TO BACTERIAL LOCALIZATION OF CAMPYLOBACTER JEJUNI WITHIN THE OVINE GALLBLADDER

Histopathology and Spatial Distribution of Putative Growth Factors in Relation to Bacterial Localization of Campylobacter jejuni Within the Ovine Gallbladder

Campylobacter jejuni is an important zoonotic pathogen that is the leading cause of both human foodborne bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide and ovine abortion in the United States.Previous studies have demonstrated that the gallbladder of ruminants is often positive on culture for Campylobacter sp., suggesting that this environment may serve as a

Phylogeny and New Classification of Hydrothermal Vent and Seep Shrimps of the Family Alvinocarididae (Decapoda).

The paper addresses the phylogeny and classification of the hydrothermal vent shrimp family Alvinocarididae.Two morphological cladistic analyses were carried out, which use all 31 recognized species of Alvinocarididae as terminal taxa.As outgroups, two species were included, both representing major caridean clades: Acanthephyra purpurea (Acanthephy

Entropy, black holes, and the new cyclic universe

We track the evolution of entropy and black holes in a cyclic universe that undergoes repeated intervals of expansion followed by slow contraction and a smooth (non-singular) bounce.In this kind of cyclic scenario, there is no big crunch and no chaotic mixmaster behavior.We explain Boys Jackets why the entropy following each bounce is naturally par
