The ablative properties of epoxy-modified vinyl silicone rubber (EMVSR) composites containing hexaphenoxycyclotriphosphonitrile (HPCTP) have been systematically studied.The strength of the ablation char layer was greatly enhanced with the addition of HPCTP, which induced the formation of a more complete, denser, and thicker char during oxyacetylene

The red fox acts as reservoir for several helminthic infections which are of interest for both public and animal health.Huge efforts have been made for the assessment of the sensitivity of coprological tests for the detection of Echinococcus multilocularis, while less attention has been paid to other helminthic species.This study aimed at assessing
Cutaneous asthenia (CA) or Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, in dogs, is a rare hereditary syndrome caused by autosomal dominant inheritance that causes collagen synthesis failure and leads to hyperextensibility and cutaneous fragility.This report describes a clinical case of canine CA of hereditary recessive origin, hitherto proven for other species, in sur
