Tarangire lions reveal similar population characteristics to most of other lion populations in other protected areas in Africa. Tarangire lion population was estimated to be around 155 individuals as in June 2013 based on ...
In vivo evaluation of the biodistribution and safety of PLGA nanoparticles as drug delivery systems
(Elsevier Inc., 2010-10)
The remarkable physicochemical properties of particles in the nanometer range have been proven to address many challenges in the field of science. However, the possible toxic effects of these particles have raised some ...
Effects of protein binding on the biodistribution of PEGylated PLGA nanoparticles post oral administration
(Elsevier B.V., 2012-03-15)
The surface of nanoparticles is often functionalised with polymeric surfactants, in order to increase systemic circulation time. This has been investigated mainly for intravenously administered nanoparticles. This study ...
Seed dispersal potential of Asian elephants
(Elsevier, 2016-11)
Elephants, the largest terrestrial mega-herbivores, play an important ecological role in maintaining forest ecosystem diversity. While several plant species strongly rely on African elephants (Loxodonta africana; L. cyclotis) ...

reduced livelihood options and ...
Giraffe genome sequence reveals clues to its unique morphology and physiology
(Nature Communications, 2016-05-16)
The origins of giraffe’s imposing stature and associated cardiovascular adaptations are
unknown. Okapi, which lacks these unique features, is giraffe’s closest relative and provides a
useful comparison, to identify genetic ...
