Summary: Recent molecular studies have identified two phylogenetic species of the red panda: Ailurus fulgens fulgens and Ailurus fulgens styani. This endangered species, found only in the wild in Asia, has not been extensively studied in terms of the histological structure of its tongue and lingual glands. The results of this study provide detailed insights into the lingual surface of the red panda, showing various types of lingual papillae and glands present on the tongue.

Summary: The effect of titanium addition beyond the solubility limit was investigated to demonstrate the precipitation hardening possibility of the Cantor alloy CoCrFeMnNi. Following appropriate heat treatment, a significant increase in hardness was detected due to nanometer-sized precipitates identified through TEM analysis.

Summary: This study analyzed the morphology of turbot tongue using macro-anatomical, light, and scanning electron microscopy. The tongue consisted of apex, body, and root, with increasing thickness from apex to root. Cone-like papillae were found on the submucosa, and taste buds, taste pores, and papillae were observed on the dorsal surface. The study provides new data on the anatomy of fish tongues.

Summary: The potential of deep learning in materials science for microscopic analyses is highlighted, despite the challenge of limited image availability for model training. A methodology has been proposed to create accurate image recognition models with small datasets, incorporating material science insights efficiently through magnification considerations and appropriate transformations. The results demonstrate that models trained with this methodology can surpass human experts in performance.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive morphological description of the tongue and laryngeal mound of Heremites vittatus using light and scanning electron microscopy. It also characterizes the lingual apparatus adaptations using ultrastructure, histology, histochemistry, and immunohistochemical approaches. The findings suggest that the lingual characteristics of Heremites vittatus are consistent with its active foraging behavior and environmental conditions.

Summary: Laser glazing in a powder bed fusion instrument was used to evaluate the microstructure of an Al85Cu6Fe3Cr6 alloy, revealing the presence of I-phase quasicrystals, Al2Cu, and FCC Al. Laser tracks produced under different conditions showed a fine and uniform phase mixture with over 70% I-phase, a thin film of Al2Cu, and no cracking or macrosegregation. The reasons for the formation of I-phase instead of the previously reported D-phase in this alloy were discussed.

Summary: This study presents a defect analysis in Cd and Te inclusion regions within Bridgman-grown Cd0.95Mn0.05Te crystals for nuclear detectors. Contrary to Cd inclusions causing microcracks, Te inclusions do not generate defects but induce higher stresses. The higher stress from Te inclusions has a smaller impact on charge carrier transport in detectors compared to Cd inclusions, as confirmed by mu tau product measurements.

Summary: This study examined 24 European brown hares and found that two of them were infected with L. serrata nymphs. Morphological and molecular analysis were used to characterize the collected nymphs. Histopathological examination revealed various lesions in the infected hares. This study provides the first report on L. serrata nymphs collected from L. europaeus in Romania using molecular and morphological characterization simultaneously.

Summary: In this study, cheap, abundant, and easily-obtained carbon fillers such as graphite and carbon black were successfully incorporated into a silicon oxycarbide matrix to obtain dense crack-free bulk composites with enhanced electrical and thermal conductivities. Raman parameters were crucial for understanding the electronic and/or phonon transport in the composites.

Summary: The combination of correlated high-speed nanoindentation and energy-dispersive spectroscopy was successfully applied to investigate the Ni-Ta system, resolving all seven phases and determining the mechanical properties and composition ranges for each phase. A simple correlation method using overlaid data matrices allowed for easy labeling and segmentation of the data, demonstrating the potential for future research.

Summary: This study examined the morphological, histological, and electron microscopic structure of the tongue of roe deer. The tongue consists of three parts and has five different types of papillae. The presence of secondary papillae in the filiform and conical papillae, the presence of lenticular papillae, and the prominent papillary groove surrounding all mechanical and gustatory papillae are characteristic features of the roe deer.

Summary: This article proposes a new method for serial section registration using an unsupervised optical flow network to measure feature similarity and eliminate nonlinear deformation. The optical flow network is also used to estimate and compensate for cumulative registration error, enabling the reconstruction of biological tissue structures. Experimental results demonstrate that this method effectively improves the spatial continuity of serial sections and enhances the accuracy of registration and reconstruction for biological tissue structures.

Summary: Farmland birds, an endangered group in Europe, play crucial roles in agricultural ecosystems. Conservation efforts often focus on less-intensive farming and breeding habitats, but overlook the importance of small natural or man-made elements within agricultural landscapes. Recognizing and preserving these Singular Point Elements (SPELs) could benefit farmland bird conservation, as they are often key to maintaining bird populations and species richness in agricultural areas. A better understanding of the role of SPELs is needed for effective bird conservation strategies.

Summary: Our study examined the differences in the structure of taste and mechanical papillae on the tongue in domesticated cattle, wild living European bison, and their hybrid. Through three-dimensional reconstruction analysis, we identified the microstructural diversity of the fungiform papillae and determined the regions on the tongue important for taste perception. This innovative method could be used for further studies on the taste system in normal and pathological conditions.

Summary: The study used LM, SEM and TEM techniques to investigate the histogenesis of parakeratinized epithelium of the lingual prominence in domestic geese during the embryonic period. The results showed differences in the development of epithelial furrows on the medial and lateral areas of the prominence, providing insights into the structural changes of the tongue during embryonic development.

Summary: This study investigates the expression of alpha-keratin, keratin-associated proteins (KAPs), and transglutaminase 1 in the para- and orthokeratinized epithelium of the tongue in domestic ducks, geese, and turkeys. The results show the presence of alpha-keratin and KAPs in both epithelia, with a stronger expression in the orthokeratinized epithelium. This suggests a more efficient protective mechanical barrier in this type of epithelium.

Summary: The spatial distribution of the medial gastrocnemius muscle spindles in rats was examined using a light microscope and visualized through a 3D model. The muscle spindles were predominantly located in the proximo-medial divisions, with no sex-related differences in distribution. On average, each division contained 2.71 receptors, and there were no significant differences in muscle spindle lengths between male and female rats. These findings contribute to our understanding of the similarities in muscle spindle numbers across genders despite differences in muscle mass and size.

Summary: This study investigates the distribution and expression profiles of α- and β-connexins in the ortho- and parakeratinized epithelium of the tongues in duck, goose, and domestic turkey. The different connexin expression patterns between the basal and intermediate layers may affect keratinocyte proliferation and cornification synchronization. These findings provide insights for comparative analysis of normal and pathological bird oral epithelia.

Summary: The Syringophilidae mite family exclusively parasitises birds, with the Boreal Owl serving as the host for Bubophilus aegolius, primarily infesting juvenile birds. A low prevalence of infested feathers on the host suggests poor transmission effectiveness, potentially due to solitary owl behavior and minimal horizontal transfer between hosts.
