A discrete pair of muscle scars is described for the first time on the umbilical wall of the open-coiled, Duckbill Clips hyperstrophic ophiletoidean gastropod Asgardispira, a close relative of the widely distributed Lytospira, from the middle Ordovician of the eastern Baltica.In a unique specimen of the euomphaloidean Lesueurilla of similar age and
For problems of being easily affected by environment, low detection decision and poor stability in traditional methane detection system, a distributed multi-point laser methane detection system was designed based on tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy technology and space division multiplexing technology.The system adopts distributed feedba
The transcriptome of pulmonary hypertension (PH) is complex and highly genetically heterogeneous, with noncoding RNA transcripts playing crucial roles.The majority of RNAs in the noncoding transcriptome are long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) with less circular RNAs (circRNAs), which are two characteristics gaining increasing attention in the forefront o
On top of conventional necropsy, virtopsy (postmortem computed tomography and postmortem magnetic resonance imaging) has been integrated into the Cetacean Stranding Response Programme in Hong Kong since March 2014.To date, 177 out of 240 local stranded Wormwood cetaceans have been examined by virtopsy.This integration has modernised the characteris
