Considering animal welfare, animals should be kept in animal-appropriate and stress-free housing conditions in all circumstances. To assure such conditions, not only basic needs must be met, but also possibilities must be provided that allow animals in captive care to express all species-typical behaviors. Rack housing…

'Laura Norrey' 'Jennifer K. Rowntree' 'Jodie Bates' 'Becky Dharmpaul' 'Mark Auliya' 'Neil D’Cruze'] Simple Summary The Ball python is a small species that is commonly kept as an exotic pet across the world. Despite huge numbers of these snakes being kept and traded in the pet industry, there is very little information…

'Marco Torcello' 'Michela Ablondi' 'Mariagiulia Pugliano' 'Susanna Di Mauro' 'Pietro Parma' 'Francesca Ciotola' 'Tingxian Deng'] Parthenogenesis is an asexual form of reproduction, normally present in various animal and plant species, in which an embryo is generated from a single gamete. Currently, there are some…

Laboratory animals are commonly anesthetized to prevent pain and distress and to provide safe handling. Anesthesia procedures are well-developed for common laboratory mammals, but not as well established in reptiles. We assessed the performance of intramuscularly injected tiletamine (dissociative anesthetic) and…

Simple Summary Ball pythons (family Pythonidae) are a relatively small species of snake found in west and central Africa. They are popular across the world as exotic pets, particularly in Europe and North America. Snakes are wild animals (i.e., non-domesticated) and have specific requirements for captive living. If…

Visualization of data is an important step in the understanding of data and the evaluation of statistical models. Topological Data Analysis Ball Mapper (TDABM) after D lotko (2019), provides a model free means to visualize multivariate datasets without information loss. To permit the construction of a TDABM graph, each…

Color morphs in ball pythons (Python regius) provide a unique and largely untapped resource for understanding the genetics of coloration in reptiles. Here we use a community-science approach to investigate the genetics of three color morphs affecting production of the pigment melanin. These morphs—Albino, Lavender…

In recent years nidoviruses have emerged as an important respiratory pathogen of reptiles, affecting especially captive python populations. In pythons, nidovirus infection induces an inflammation of the upper respiratory and alimentary tract which can develop into a severe and often fatal proliferative pneumonia. We…

Effective visualization of small molecules is paramount in conveying concepts and results in cheminformatics. Scalable vector graphics (SVG) are preferred for creating such visualizations, as SVGs can be easily altered in post-production and exported to other formats. A wide spectrum of software applications already…

'Arad Firouzkouhi' 'Stan Matwin' 'Amílcar Soares'] Abstract. Soccer, also known as football in some parts of the world, involves two teams of eleven players whose objective is to score more goals than the opposing team. To simulate this game and attract scientists from all over the world to conduct research and…

This paper presents a data-driven universal ball trajectory prediction method integrated with physics equations. Existing methods are designed for specific ball types and struggle to generalize. This challenge arises from three key factors. First, learning-based models require large datasets but suffer from accuracy…

Sampling graphs is an important task in data mining. In this paper, we describe Little Ball of Fur a Python library that includes more than twenty graph sampling algorithms. Our goal is to make node, edge, and exploration-based network sampling techniques accessible to a large number of professionals, researchers, and…

— Being widespread in human motor behavior, dynamic movements demonstrate higher efficiency and greater capacity to address a broader range of skill domains compared to their quasi-static counterparts. Among the frequently studied dynamic manipulation problems, robotic juggling tasks stand out due to their inherent…

TurtleMol is an open-source Python package that aims to help users generate large, complex molec- ular systems. In the current version, users can generate systems by filling volumes defined by basic geometric shapes (e.g. cube, sphere), or by shapes of arbitrary gemoetries defined meshes created in other software (such…

We demonstrate here using a disulfide system the first example of reversible, selective and quantitative transformation between three crystalline polymorphs by ball mill grinding. This includes the discovery of a previously unknown polymorph. Each polymorph is reproducibly obtained under well-defined neat or…

This manuscript introduces a novel induction heating platform designed to enable multiplexed temperature screen for microscale high-throughput reactions through remote, wireless heating in multi-well plates. This approach employs metal balls within the wells to efficiently convert surrounding electromagnetic energy…
