Sexual selection is expected to drive phenotypic differences between conspecific male and females, a widespread phenomenon known as sexual dimorphism.At the same time, individuals may exhibit some degree of intra-sexual variation.We examined the sexual dimorphism and inter-individual variation in different body parts of Creophilus maxillosus L.(Col
Analysing the pathogenic mechanisms of a bacterium requires an understanding of the composition of the bacterial cell surface.The bacterial surface provides the first barrier against innate immune mechanisms as well as mediating attachment to cells/surfaces to resist clearance.We utilised a series Multi Grinders of Klebsiella pneumoniae mutants in
This paper presents a novel RGB-D 3D reconstruction algorithm for the Miscellaneous indoor environment.The method can produce globally-consistent 3D maps for potential GIS applications.As the consumer RGB-D camera provides a noisy depth image, the proposed algorithm decouples the rotation and translation for a more robust camera pose estimation, wh
In order to investigate the influence of soot on the anti-wear property of molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate(MoDTC) and zinc dialkyldithiophosphate(ZDDP), the soot was added into different oil samples and then a four-ball machine friction experiment was carried out on the samples.Results showed that when the mass fractions of MoDTC and ZDDP were 0.
Zhongwei goat is a unique Chinese native goat breed for excellent lamb fur.The pattern of flower spikes of the lamb fur was significantly reduced due to the reduction of the bending of the hair strands with growth.In order to explore the molecular mechanism underlying hair bending with growth, we performed the comprehensive analysis of transcriptom
