Gut mycobiome maturation and its determinants during early childhood: a comparison of ITS2 amplicon and shotgun metagenomic sequencing approaches by Timothy Heisel, Sara Gonia, Abrielle Dillon, Susan L. Hoops, Gabriel A. Al-Ghalith, Daryl Gohl, Sagori Mukhopadhyay, Karen Puopolo, Peter Kennedy, Michael J. Sadowsky, Dan Knights, Dan Knights, Abigail J. Johnson, Jeffrey S. Gerber, Cheryl A. Gale

“…Candida albicans exhibited altered abundance dynamics in association with perinatal antibiotic exposure and birth mode for both sequencing approaches. Post hoc analyses suggested that the birth mode association could be driven by exposure to perinatal antibiotics in children delivered by cesarean section rather than by birth mode itself.DiscussionIn summary, amplicon and metagenomic sequencing approaches provide generally similar results with respect to mycobiome maturational dynamics and the contribution of clinical variables to variation. …”

Crop, semi-natural, and water features of the cotton agroecosystem as indicators of risk of infestation of two plant bug (Hemiptera: Miridae) pests by Michael J. Brewer

“…The smallest scale (2.5 km radius) models had the greatest number of variables selected and highest R2, while two broader scales (5 and 10 km) and truncating the models to three variables produced a narrower range of R2s (0.49 to 0.62) and more consistent entry of variables. …”

Farm factors associated with increased free fatty acids in bulk tank milk by Hannah M. Woodhouse, Stephen J. LeBlanc, Trevor J. DeVries, Karen J. Hand, David F. Kelton

“…The absence of pre-cooling was also associated with higher FFA levels (β = 0.16, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.3). The final model adjusted R2 of 29% indicates that more factors associated with bulk tank milk FFA still need to be identified, which may include seasonal, milk composition, and individual cow factors.…”

螺旋桨轴毂复合联接结构接触问题的非线性有限元分析及结构尺寸优化 by 孙骅, 李文静

“…According to the characteristics of aero product,the industry product must be as simple and light as possible under the premise of ensuring the load performance.By using the finite element analysis software ANSYS,a nonlinear contact model about a new type of composite shaft-hub connection structure of propeller is established.Based on the model,a optimization about the elastic ring,part of the shaft-hub connection structure,which defines the semi-cone angle and the width of the elastic ring as the design variables,the stress of the elastic ring as the state variable is carried out.The optimization results provide a theoretical basis of designing a composite shaft-hub connection structure which meets the requirement of aero product.…”
