With the recent wave of progress in artificial intelligence (AI) has come a growing awareness large-scale impacts AI systems, and recognition that existing regulations norms industry academia are insufficient to ensure responsible development. In order for developers earn trust from system users, customers, civil society, governments, other stakeholders they building responsibly, will need make verifiable claims which can be held accountable. Those outside given organization also effective...

Research has demonstrated that intramuscularly embedded lead in humans and rats may cause direct plumbism, albeit rarely, identified risk factors to this end. To the authors' knowledge, not been investigated wildlife, despite a high incidence of these animals secondary cynegetic activities. Fourteen wildlife cases submitted National Fish Wildlife Forensics Laboratory for cause-of-death determination had chronically projectiles were unrelated death. Tissue levels measured all revealed...
This article describes 11 cases of neuronal embryonal neoplasia in captive adult teleost fish. Neoplasms were located within 1 or both eyes 8 fish and the skin 3 other Ocular neoplasms most often presented as unilateral bilateral exophthalmia. Seven ocular cutaneous mass composed small triangular (carrot-shaped) neoplastic cells with Flexner-Wintersteiner-type rosette formation. Mass location histologic ultrastructural features suggestive retinoblastomas. One was ribbons rosettes multiple...
A 7.5-year-old captive born Savannah monitor, Varanus exanthematicus, presented with lethargy, anorexia, constipation, and narcolepsy-like behavior. Plasma biochemical analysis demonstrated mildly elevated liver enzymes, hypercalcemia, hypoproteinemia. Coelomic ultrasound revealed multiple echolucent rare echogenic round hepatic structures. Diagnostic coelioscopy was attempted but limited by anesthetic complications varanid anatomy. Although it could not be confirmed during surgery, clinical...
Marked renal vascular changes, suggestive of hypertension, were present in adult western gray kangaroos (Macropus fuliginosus) from a single facility over 14-year period. A subset these also had vague clinical nervous system deficits, including blindness. To characterize the lesions, determine prevalence, and document other case histories archival tissue sections 21 (8 male, 13 female) that died or euthanatized between 1994 2008 reviewed. Relevant lesions included increased thickness...
Over the past 30 years, California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) population has rebounded from 22 individuals to over 200 birds living in wild. Historical impacts have been largely anthropogenic. In this study, we explore mortality and cause of death data condors that died during years 2010-2014 compare these described by Rideout et al. 2012, covering 1992-2009. addition, morphologic genetic analysis contents upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract was performed on mortalities determine animal...
Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) are susceptible to anthropogenic mortality factors, including toxic compounds in the environment such as anticoagulant rodenticides (AR) and sources of man-made energy. The physical behavioral effects some toxins may predispose eagles certain causes death (COD). To investigate influence ARs on at wind turbine farms, we randomly tested liver samples from 31 found dead farms submitted National Fish Wildlife Forensic Laboratory 2013-20. comparison group was...
ABSTRACT Lead toxicosis is well established as an important contributor to mortalities in bald and golden eagles ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus Aquila chrysaetos , respectively), California condors Gymnogyps californianus ), a variety of waterfowl. The effects lead may predispose birds traumatic encounters, such collision with power lines. Rotating wind turbine blades have caused the death many bird species, including eagles, when flight paths intersect farms. We conducted analysis relationship...
Identification of freeze-thaw artifact in fish can help to determine whether they have been harvested within the appropriate season and monitor adherence fishing regulations. Recognition freeze-specific changes will also prevent potential misinterpretation due decomposition, disease, injury, or species variation. An initial survey using black rockfish (Sebastes melanops) identified which tissues reliably exhibit freeze artifact. Tissues were exposed different treatments: immediate formalin...
