Assessing acoustic receiver detection efficiency using autocorrelation adjusted machine learning models by Devon A. Smith, James A. Crossman, Eduardo G. Martins

“…Receiver distance and our utilization of receiver metadata as an indication of environmental noise consistently emerged as the most influential predictors, while environmental variables contributed relatively evenly to model performance. The small mountainous river model explained 30.7–89.5% of the variability in detection efficiency while the large regulated river model explained 43.8–90.6% of the variability explained. …”

Multi-Omics Integration Reveals the Impact of Gastrointestinal Microbiota on Feed Efficiency in Tan Sheep by Guohan Sun, Xiaohong Han, Tonggao Liu, Xinrui Zhang, An Shi, Chong Yang, Jinzhong Tao

“…Elucidating the mechanisms by which gastrointestinal microbiota influence the feed conversion ratio (FCR) in ruminants is significantly important for enhancing feed utilization efficiency in these animals. In this study, RT-qPCR, 16S rRNA sequencing, and metabolomic techniques were systematically employed to compare the microbial community structures in the rumen, cecum, and rectum, as well as the differences in rumen metabolites between high- and low-FCR Tan sheep. …”

Identification and validation of endoplasmic reticulum autophagy-related potential biomarkers in periodontitis by Ruyue Wang, Jinyue Hu, Qing Sun, Shuixiang Guo, Gege Zhang, Ao Lu, Shuo Liu, Xue Yang, Lina Wang

“…The infiltration of immune cells differs between tissues affected by periodontitis and healthy periodontal tissues, and a variety of immune cell subsets are significantly correlated with ATP1A1 and GANAB, thus ATP1A1 and GANAB have good diagnostic efficiency for periodontitis and can be used as potential biomarkers for early diagnosis.…”
