Coloration, Camouflage, and Sexual Dichromatism in the Northern Pacific Rattlesnake (Crotalus oreganus)
In some viperid snakes, natural selection has shaped coloration and patterning to match local habitats, and for males to show greater warning coloration than females due to a less sedentary lifestyle. The Northern Pacific Rattlesnake (<em>Crotalus oreganus) </em>is likely the most abundant ambush …

An Interactive Pedestrian Re-Identification Tool with Semantic Based Re-Identification
… with Viewpoint Invariant Pedestrian Recognition (VIPeR) dataset which contains 632 identities. Our experiment shows that our software is more efficient and accurate compared with traditional manual solutions. Moreover, IPRG can handle the situation of missing query person in the database, and it …

Natural history of sea-snake bite and poisoning: a clinical study
… any) was injected? Some types of venom - most viper venoms for instance - cause a local reaction from which it is possible, even soon after the bite, to make a clinical estimate of the dose of venom injected. In contrast, sea - snake venom has virtually no local effects. One of the main …

Role of Toll-Like Receptor 4 in Pathophysiology of Hypertension
… TLR4 expression with viral inhibitory peptide (VIPER; a specific TLR4 blocker) via intracerebroventricular infusion in Ang II-induced hyper-tensive rats. Central TLR4 blockade delayed progression of hypertension and improved cardiac function in hypertensive rats and these effects were mediated …

Comparative Biology of Sympatric Red Diamond and Southern Pacific Rattlesnakes in Southern California
… diet) to test the general notion that sympatric vipers partition primarily macrohabitat, which contrasts with the general pattern in snakes of partitioning diet. Pianka's and Czekanowski's indices of niche overlap revealed modest overlap in macrohabitat and low overlap in diet; however, diet may …
