IRRIGATED YIELD ESTIMATION OF Populus Nigra STANDS IN NINEVEH PLANTATION by Muzahim .S. younis

“…Consequence of the use of Non-Linear function in this study, which is believed to be in harmonic with the characteristics of tree stand, twelve trees were selected which represents different location over an area planted with Populus nigra trees ,and after data analysis of variable values , three mathematical equations were obtains which link the yield per area ,a dependent variable and age ,mean height of stand quadratic mean diameter as the independent variable , in order to obtain yield table of revocable densities for Populus nigra , selecting the best model , different measures of precision , such as , coefficient of determination, standard error of estimate and residual analysis test, so following regressions selected : Y= 4.1356 G1.12355 R2= 0.9796 S.E=1.8 Y= 0.12788H2.27 R2= 0.913 S.E=3.54 Y= -0.64168+0.34744A2+0.063183Dq2.4 R2= 0.9674 S.E=2.29 Since there are good values of precision measures , so we will be able to use equations to prepare yield table at different densities of Populus nigra stands in Nineveh, depending on mean height or basal area per hectare or for age and quadratic mean. …”

Developments in the study of the role of lactate metabolism in the genesis and progression of thyroid cancer by Lei Shi, Lei Shi, Lei Shi, Xuyang Zhong, Jiafeng Liu, Yong Ying, Zibing Liao, Jin Liu, Liwen Zhao, Jianing Zhong, Jianing Zhong, Xiangtai Zeng, Xiangtai Zeng

“…We systematically dissect the multifaceted regulatory circuits governing lactate metabolism by integrating three pivotal dimensions: (i) canonical signaling cascades; (ii) tumor-microenvironmental variables, most notably hypoxia and acidosis; and (iii) the emerging epigenetic paradigm of lactylation, which dynamically reprograms the catalytic efficiency of rate-limiting enzymes and reshapes the transcriptional landscape of metabolic genes, thereby precisely coordinating lactate homeostasis. …”
