Revolutionizing brain‒computer interfaces: overcoming biocompatibility challenges in implantable neural interfaces by Weihang Gao, Zineng Yan, Hong Zhou, Yi Xie, Honglin Wang, Jiaming Yang, Jingbo Yu, Changmao Ni, Pengran Liu, Mao Xie, Li Huang, Zhewei Ye

“…Despite significant advancements over the years, conventional neural electrode interfaces remain insufficient for fully achieving these objectives, particularly in the context of long-term implantation. The primary limitation stems from the poor biocompatibility and mechanical mismatch between the interfacing electrodes and neural tissues, which induce a local immune response and scar tissue formation, thus decreasing the performance and useful lifespan. …”

Task Differences and Prosociality; Investigating Pet Dogs' Prosocial Preferences in a Token Choice Paradigm. by Rachel Dale, Rachel Dale, Mylène Quervel-Chaumette, Ludwig Huber, Friederike Range, Sarah Marshall-Pescini

“…However, in contrast to our previous bar-pulling experiment, we could not exclude social facilitation as an underlying motive in the current task. We propose this difference in results between tasks may be related to increased task complexity in the token choice paradigm, making it harder for dogs to discriminate between the test and social facilitation conditions. …”

The Use of Potato Aerial Parts in the Diet of Fattening Male lambs as a Complete Feed Block by Saleh Salehi, Hamid Reza Bahmani, Shiva Mafakheri, Hassan Fazaeli, Ataollah Rahimi

“…Considering the competition between humans and animals for many food items and the limitation of basic production resources, and on the other hand, the high levels of waste and waste in the agricultural sector, the optimal use of these wastes can play a significant role in the prosperity of animal husbandry and reducing the price of animal feed, and finally Increase livestock production. On the other hand, it is not possible to allocate more land and water for the production of animal feed items than the current level, so the use and exploitation of agricultural by-products is one of the necessities of the animal husbandry industry. …”

Stochastic simulation modeling of the economics of providing additional living space for housed dairy cows by Jake S. Thompson, Chris D. Hudson, Jon N. Huxley, Jasmeet Kaler, Martin J. Green

“…When building a new shed with a high living space versus control at a 4.00% interest rate, a median net return on infrastructure investment of +£23.00 per cow per year was identified (range –£25.91 to +£64.16 for 10th to 90th percentile). Since decreased living space is likely to lead to poorer welfare, it can be considered a negative production externality associated with current production systems, the cost of which should also be accounted for when analyzing the economics of housing. …”
