Numerical Simulation and Non-Destructive Characterization of Material Property and Defect Analysis of Cortical Bone Using Laser Ultrasound Techniques.

The application of bone quality assessment has received extensive attention, and a large number of researchers continue to invest in related research activities. To get closer to the real situation, this study intends to investigate the long bones of cattle. A quantitative laser ultrasound visualization (QLUV) system was used to measure the images transmitted by the guided waves on the long bones, and the internal defects of the long bones were detected using wave propagation behavior.

The Impacts of Reassortant Avian Influenza H5N2 Virus NS1 Proteins on Viral Compatibility and Regulation of Immune Responses.

Avian influenza virus (AIV) can cause severe diseases in poultry worldwide. H6N1 AIV was the dominant enzootic subtype in 1985 in the chicken farms of Taiwan until the initial outbreak of a low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) H5N2 virus in 2003; thereafter, this and other LPAIs have been sporadically detected. In 2015, the outbreak of three novel H5Nx viruses of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) emerged and devastated Taiwanese chicken and waterfowl industries.
