A qualitative exploration of owner experiences following dog adoption by Bethany Joy Moyer, Helen Zulch, Beth Ann Ventura, Oliver Burman

“…Future research should incorporate a longer time-frame to better understand how and when dogs adjust to a home, and as there is variation in dog behaviour during adjustment, it must also account for individual differences. As we develop a better understanding of how to characterise this period, adopters can be better prepared for the initial months of dog ownership, and interventions can be individualised to improve owner experience and dog welfare.…”

Regulation of ER stress-induced apoptotic and inflammatory responses via YAP/TAZ-mediated control of the TRAIL-R2/DR5 signaling pathway by Y. El Yousfi, F. J. Fernández-Farrán, F. J. Oliver, A. López-Rivas, R. Yerbes

“…Although other mechanisms may also be involved in controlling cell death and inflammation in tumor cells facing environmental stress, our results support a model in which regulation of the subcellular localization and activity of the YAP/TAZ transcriptional co-activators could contribute to the microenvironmental control of cell fate decisions in tumor cells undergoing ER stress.…”

Mechanical behaviour analysis of cemented tailings rock backfill materials: An insight from mesoscale modelling coupled with damage plasticity model by Chaoyi Yang, Hang Lin, Rugao Gao, Zhengrong Li, Dengjun Gan, Mingwu Liu, Qifan Ren

“…The potential application in real scenarios is also discussed. The key findings include: (1) incorporating waste rock significantly enhances elasticity but slightly reduces strength; (2) a lower cement-to-tailing ratio leads to compressive damage playing a more critical role in failure patterns; and (3) increasing the maximum particle diameter negatively impacts strength. …”
