BEHAVIORAL AND ACOUSTIC RESPONSES OF THE ORIENTAL REED WARBLER (ACROCEPHALUS ORIENTALIS), AT EGG AND NESTLING STAGES, TO THE COMMON CUCKOO (CUCULUS CANORUS)

Cuckoo nest parasites lay eggs in host nests and thereby transfer all reproduction costs to the hosts.This greatly reduces host fitness.Parasitism has selected for the evolution of anti-parasitic strategies in hosts, including nest defense.The dynamic risk assessment hypothesis holds that nest parasitism only threatens the nests during the egg stag

In the current article, a mathematical model is developed to visualize the flow Twin Tent Bed of non-Newtonian magneto cross nanofluid with mass and heat transport rates having activation energy, motile microorganisms and bioconvection over the wedge.The phenomena of microorganisms is implemented to control the suspension of nanomaterials.The resul

Fe nanoparticles grown on SrTiO3 (STO) {001} and {110} surfaces at room temperature have been studied in ultrahigh Glass Server vacuum by means of transmission electron microscopy and scanning tunnelling microscopy.It was shown that some Fe nanoparticles grow epitaxially.They exhibit a modified Wulff shape: nanoparticles on STO {001} surfaces have

Background: Open Access (OA) publishing has gained tremendous acceptance in academic publishing over the last decade.This paper reviews the number and trend of OA publishing of research papers originating from College of Medicine University of Lagos (CMUL), Nigeria.Materials and Methods: A computerized literature search of PubMed for all published

In order to increase the burst pressure of copper pipe,save the copper material under the premise of guaranteeing Vinyl Record Cleaning Brush safety,overpressure enhancement of TP2 copper tube was tested at room temperature,the relationship between the burst pressure of copper tube and the pretreatment pressures was studied,the changes of TP2 mater
