FIRST PHOTOGRAPHIC RECORD OF THE RUSTY-SPOTTED CAT PRIONAILURUS RUBIGINOSUS (I. GEOFFROY SAINT-HILAIRE, 1831) (MAMMALIA: CARNIVORA: FELIDAE) IN HORTON PLAINS NATIONAL PARK, SRI LANKA

First photographic record of the Rusty-spotted Cat Prionailurus rubiginosus (I. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1831) (Mammalia: Carnivora: Felidae) in Horton Plains National Park, Sri Lanka

The Rusty-spotted Cat Prionailurus rubiginosus Sponges is thought to be present in most forested areas of Sri Lanka.Though it was suggested that the species may occur in montane regions, there was no photographic evidence to date.Here we present the first photographic record of the Rusty-spotted Cat in Horton Plains National Park.Individuals includ

In depth functional characterization of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived beta cells in vitro and in vivo

In vitro differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into beta cells represents an important cell source for diabetes research.Here, we fully characterized iPSC-derived beta cell function in vitro and in vivo in humanized mice.Using a 7-stage protocol, human iPSCs were differentiated into islet-like aggregates with a yield of in

Simulated Maximum Likelihood for Double-Bounded Referendum Models

Although joint estimation of referendum-type contingent value Incontinence Pants (CV) survey responses using maximum-likelihood models is preferred to single-equation estimation, it has been largely disregarded because estimation involves evaluating multivariate normal probabilities.New developments in the construction of probability simulators hav
