Occurrence of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes at various stages of different aquaculture modes surrounding Tai Lake, China by Congcong Wu, Congcong Wu, Haitao Ye, Mingzhu Xu, Xuan Zhao, Xuejie Zhao, Lina Li, Mingzhi Li, Yanfei Wei, Yuru Li, Baolan Hu, Baolan Hu

“…However, the occurrence of antibiotics and ARGs under different modes and stages of aquaculture has rarely been systematically studied.MethodsThis paper uses qPCR, LC-MS, and High-Throughput sequencing across different culture modes and stages to investigate antibiotics, resistance genes, and microbial communities in the water bodies, and analyze contamination differences between these modes.ResultsThe quinolone and chloramphenicol were the main antibiotics, and the highest absolute abundance genes were quinolone resistance genes (qnrB) and quinolone resistance genes (sul1), with the mobile genetic element (MGE) intI1, both of which exhibited a gradual seasonal increase. …”

The effects of running shoe stack height on running style and stability during level running at different running speeds by Cagla Kettner, Bernd Stetter, Bernd Stetter, Thorsten Stein

“…Additionally, the ratio of landing to take-off duration, the lower body joint angle time series in the sagittal and frontal planes, the vertical center of mass oscillation (COMosc), and the stiffness parameters (kver and kleg) were compared for different conditions. The stability was analyzed using linear (i.e., discrete frontal ankle parameters) and nonlinear methods (i.e., Maximum Lyapunov Exponent for local dynamic stability of head, trunk, hip, and foot, and detrended fluctuation analysis of stride time). …”
