A lethal disease of the European bison – posthitis is conditionally determined by its genomics by Sazia Kunvar, Sylwia Czarnomska, Cino Pertoldi, Astrid V. Stronen, Iwona Ruczyńska, Małgorzata Tokarska

“…Studies indicated the disease could have a genetic background after tools developed for cattle (Bos taurus) revealed genomic regions that could be associated with its occurrence. In this study, we applied deep coverage targeted sequencing to 74 regions on 10 of the bison’s chromosomes (1, 9, 12, 13, 15, 23, 25, 26, 29, and X) in search for species-specific single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers that could help to explain the mechanism of the disease and be used to test for posthitis susceptibility. …”

Cassava–soybean intercropping alleviates continuous cassava cropping obstacles by improving its rhizosphere microecology by Huixian Chen, Lixia Ruan, Sheng Cao, Wen He, Haixia Yang, Zhenhua Liang, Hengrui Li, Wanling Wei, Zhenling Huang, Xiu Lan

“…To find an effective method to alleviate the obstacle of cassava continuous cropping and explore the effect of cassava–soybean intercropping, this study analysed the differences in cassava agronomic traits, yield, soil physicochemical properties, microbial community structure, and metabolites between cassava single cropping (M) and cassava–soybean intercropping (MD) and its effects on continuous cassava cropping soil.MethodsThe correlations between yield, agronomic traits, soil physicochemical properties, microbial diversity, and metabolites were explored, and the effect of the cassava–soybean intercropping model on cassava soil was revealed.ResultsThe results showed that compared with group M, soil pH, porosity, organic matter, available nitrogen, and fresh potato yield in the MD group significantly increased by 8.59, 13.66, 20.68, 23.29, and 50.61%, respectively, and soil bulk density significantly decreased by 9.68%. …”

Introducing Iterative Model Calibration (IMC) v1.0: a generalizable framework for numerical model calibration with a CAESAR-Lisflood case study by C. Banerjee, K. Nguyen, C. Fookes, G. Hancock, T. Coulthard

“…In response to these challenges, we introduce a generalizable framework for calibrating numerical models, with a particular focus on geomorphological models, named Iterative Model Calibration (IMC). This approach efficiently identifies the optimal set of parameters for a given numerical model through a strategy based on a Gaussian neighborhood algorithm. …”
