The uncanny valley effect (UVE) is a negative emotional response experienced when encountering entities that appear almost human.Research on the UVE typically investigates individual, or collections of, near human entities but may be prone to methodological circularity unless the properties that give rise to the emotional response are appropriately
The genetic network underlying the evolution of pathogenicity in avian Escherichia coli
IntroductionColibacillosis is a worldwide prevalent disease in poultry production linked to Escherichia coli strains that belong to the avian pathogenic E.coli (APEC) pathotype.While many virulence factors have been linked to APEC isolates, no single gene or set of genes has been makita rf1101 found to be exclusively associated with the pathotype.M
Recombinant Sj16 protein with novel activity alleviates hepatic granulomatous inflammation and fibrosis induced by Schistosoma japonicum associated with M2 macrophages in a mouse model
Abstract Background Potent granulomatous inflammation responses induced by schistosome eggs and resultant fibrosis are the primary causes of morbidity in schistosomiasis.Recombinant stingray hood scoop Sj16 (rSj16), a 16-kDa protein of Schistosoma japonicum produced in Escherichia coli, has been demonstrated to have novel immunoregulatory effects i
Research and Test of X-wing Flapping-wing Mechanism Based on the Crank Slider Mechanism
A X-wing flapping-wing mechanism with wings flapping symmetrically is designed.The crank slider mechanism is adopted to convert the circular motion of the crank into the linear reciprocating motion of the straight shaft, and the straight shaft drives the fluffy tangerine clouds wings on both sides through the rocker to realize the symmetric flappin
