The combined effectiveness of acoustic indices in measuring bird species richness in biodiverse sites in Cyprus, China, and Australia by Christos Mammides, Pan Wuyuan, Guohualing Huang, Rachakonda Sreekar, Christina Ieronymidou, Aiwu Jiang, Eben Goodale, Harris Papadopoulos

“…In this study, we use data from 114 biodiverse sites in three countries, Cyprus, China, and Australia, to evaluate the combined effectiveness of sixty different acoustic indices in measuring bird species richness. Using the Boruta feature selection algorithm and random forest regressors, we find that the effectiveness of the indices varies considerably across study areas, and it is generally lower than what would be required to monitor bird species richness accurately (R2Cyprus = 0.06, R2China = 0.31, R2Australia = 0.52). …”

Effects of garlic and aspirin on some blood parameters of new zeland rabbits fed cholesterol rich ration by Zafer Durgun, Ercan Keskin, Nurcan Dönmez, Feyyaz Önder

“…In the study, the effects of aspirin and garlic powder supplementation on some haemotological parameters in hypercholesterolaemic rabbits were investigated.Although the plasma cholesterol level in the groups fed cholesterol -rich ration for 4 weeks significantly (p<0.05) increased as compared with the control group, the plasma cholesterol levels in the group supplemented with garlic powder was found to be significantly lower than in both the group received the cholesterol-rich ration alone and the group fed the ration with aspirin (p<0.05).The haematocrit levels and erythrocyte counts in the groups supplemented with garlic (%29.2, 3.57x10⁶ respectively) and aspirin (%28.2, 3.4x10⁶ respectively) were significantly lower as compared with the control group (%38.5, 4.82x10⁶ respectively) and the group fed the cholesterol-rich ration alone (%40.4, 4.78x10⁶ respectively) (p<0.05). …”
