EVIDENCE OF LINKS BETWEEN HAEMATOLOGICAL CONDITION AND FORAGING BEHAVIOUR IN NORTHERN GANNETS (MORUS BASSANUS)

Evidence of links between haematological condition and foraging behaviour in northern gannets (Morus bassanus)

Haematological analyses can reveal the physiological condition of birds, which are known to efficiently disguise symptoms of stress and disease.However, the interpretation of such analyses requires species-specific baseline data, which are lacking for most free-living seabird Trigger Guards species.We provide baseline reference data for several hae

LQG-Based Virtual Inertial Control of Islanded Microgrid Load Frequency Control and DoS Attack Vulnerability Analysis

The load frequency control (LFC) in modern power system like microgrid has turned out to be significantly challenging due to the high penetration of renewable energy sources (RESs) and the consequent reduction of overall system inertia.The inverter-equipped RESs like solar and wind power generation units, besides the load variations can prompt sust

Relationships among clinical mastitis test-day records, somatic cell counts, and linear udder conformation traits in Czech dairy cows

This study evaluated test-day records of clinical mastitis (CM), somatic cell count, and nine udder conformation traits.Somatic cell count was log-transformed into somatic cell score (SCS) in 10 periods, each 30 days long and overall, for the first lactation.CM is a complex disease closely connected with somatic cell count.The optimum udder conform
