... observed on stomach and small intestines, presumably due to fire ant stings (Fig. 3). A blood sample was taken with a 3 ml syringe and 22-gauge needle from the subcarapacial vein. Microhematocrite method determined the packed cell volume (PCV) was 17.2%; reference interval is 15.6-47.6% with a mean of 27.8% (Species360, Zoological Information Management Software, https://zims.species360.org).

... reaction. Reference mean levels of eosinophils and basophils in Texas tortoises are 6.4 and 11.0%, respectively (Species360, op. cit.). We believe the tortoise died from anaphylactic shock caused by fire ant stings. Its breathing appeared rapid and shallow at death, the intestines were bloated with air, and it appeared dehydrated with a low PCV ( Fig. 3; Martinez-Jimenez and Hernandez-Divers 2007. Veter.

In recent years, the field of image generation has been revolutionized by the application of autoregressive transformers and DDPMs. These approaches model the process of image generation as a step-wise probabilistic processes and leverage large amounts of compute and data to learn the image distribution. This methodology of improving performance ne...
Sediment gravity flows are the most direct and efficient transport mechanisms for moving terrestrial sediments into deep oceans. Scarcity of firsthand measurements, however, has hindered the quantitative, even qualitative characterization of such flows. Here we present a unique year-long data record from ~4000 m depth in the Manila Trench that capt...
