Does partial replacement of corn with glycerin in beef cattle diets affect in vitro ruminal fermentation, gas production kinetic, and enteric greenhouse gas emissions? by Pedro Del Bianco Benedeti, Mozart Alves Fonseca, Teshome Shenkoru, Marcos Inácio Marcondes, Eduardo Marostegan de Paula, Lorrayny Galoro da Silva, Antonio Pinheiro Faciola

“…Five in vitro experiments were conducted with the following objectives: 1) To evaluate the ruminal fermentation of three different single ingredients: corn, glycerin, and starch (Exp. 1 and 2); 2) To assess effects of partially replacing corn with glycerin in beef cattle diets on ruminal fermentation pattern (Exp. 3 and 4); and 3) To evaluate the effects of glycerin inclusion on the extension of ruminal DM digestibility of feeds with high (orchard hay) and low (corn) fiber content (Exp. 5). …”

Cysteinyl-Leukotriene Receptors and Cellular Signals by G. Enrico Rovati, Valérie Capra

“…Molecular cloning has confirmed most of the previous pharmacological characterization and identified distinct expression patterns only partially overlapping. Recombinant CysLTRs couple to the Gq/11 pathway that modulates inositol phospholipids hydrolysis and calcium mobilization, whereas in native systems, they often activate a pertussis toxin-insensitive Gi/o-protein, or are coupled promiscuously to both G-proteins. …”

Size Effects on Process-Induced Porosity in Ti6Al4V Thin Struts Additively Manufactured by Laser Powder-Bed Fusion by Nismath Valiyakath Vadakkan Habeeb, Kevin Chou

“…Generally, keyhole porosity lessens with decreasing energy density, though with varying patterns across a higher energy density range. Keyhole porosity in struts predictably becomes severe at high laser powers and/or low scan speeds. …”

Genomic Insights From Natural History Collections Reveal Cryptic Speciation in Coral Guard Crabs (Family: Trapeziidae) by Kenzie Pollard, Carlos Leiva, Heloise Rouzé, Sarah Lemer

“…Populations of the Central and West Pacific showed signs of admixture across a heterogeneous seascape, attributing to a potentially long pelagic dispersal phase and expansive gene pool. Our results highlight the need to further explore the genetic diversity within other Trapezia species and other coral‐associated organisms, as they are likely to exhibit more complex genetic patterns than previously understood.…”

Could Selectively Skipping of the Repetitive Thinking Questionnaire among a Series of Self-Report Scales in a Study Be a Coping Strategy? by İ. Volkan GÜLÜM, İhsan DAĞ

“…Objective: Depending on an observation in which some of the subjects’ nonrandom irresponsiveness to repetitive thinking questionnaire items among fully answered others in a study of current researchers, the aims of the present study were to test that whether the ignorance of repetitive thinking items is a stress coping strategy or not, to compare people who ignore the repetitive thinking items (IRT) with people who have high repetitive thinking (HRT) and low repetitive thinking (LRT) in context of attachment patterns, sychopathological symptoms and cognitive flexibility.Method: 432 (278 women and 154 men) college students were selected from a larger research project sample pool which had funded by TÜBİTAK. …”

Intelligent Management of Renewable Energy Communities: An MLaaS Framework with RL-Based Decision Making by Rafael Gonçalves, Diogo Gomes, Mário Antunes

“…However, scaling RECs while ensuring profitability is challenging due to renewable energy intermittency, price volatility, and heterogeneous consumption patterns. To address these issues, this paper presents a Machine Learning as a Service (MLaaS) framework, where each REC microgrid has a customised Reinforcement Learning (RL) agent and electricity price forecasts are included to support decision-making. …”
