Pooled error variance and covariance estimation of sparse in situ soil moisture sensor measurements in agricultural fields in Flanders by M. G. A. Hendrickx, M. G. A. Hendrickx, J. Vanderborght, J. Vanderborght, P. Janssens, P. Janssens, P. Janssens, S. Bombeke, E. Matthyssen, A. Waverijn, J. Diels, J. Diels

“…Based on these measurement data, we established a pooled linear recalibration of the TEROS 10 manufacturer's sensor calibration function. Then, for each individual sensor as well as for each MZ, we identified systematic offsets and temporally varying residual deviations between the calibrated sensor data and sampling data. …”

Tissue Distribution and Proliferation Characteristics of pVA1-like Plasmid After Infection with Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the Pacific White Shrimp Penaeus vannamei by Xingqi SU, Qiang FU, Xupeng LI, Jie KONG, Jiteng TIAN, Baoxiang CAO, Ning LIU, Sheng LUAN, Kun LUO, Xianhong MENG

“…Pathological studies indicate that when the toxin encounters the hepatopancreas (the target organ), it leads to the separation and disintegration of epithelial cells, turning them into substrates for bacterial replication, ultimately compromising the function of the hepatopancreas. Currently, research on AHPND primarily focuses on prevention and treatment strategies. …”

Effects of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate on glucose homeostasis in rats due to impaired autophagy flux of islet β cells mediated by oxidative stress by Hongyang ZHOU, Yuting HU, Xue CHEN, Yunqiang ZHOU, Liping LI, Ling LI, Herong LIU

“…In the 375 mg·kg−1 and 750 mg·kg−1 DEHP treatment groups, the relative expression levels of p62, LC3 II/LC1, and Caspase-8 proteins were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the relative expression level of p-mTOR/mTOR was significantly decreased (P<0.05).ConclusionDEHP can disrupt glucose homeostasis by inducing oxidative stress, which subsequently activates autophagy via the ROS/AMPK/ULK1 pathway, impairing autophagic flux and promoting apoptosis of islet β cells, ultimately decreasing their function and number.…”
