Abstract Among surface irrigation systems, long border and furrow are more adaptive to mechanized farming but may cause a non-uniform distribution of water and nutrients. In this study, field experiments were carried out in a flat silage corn field in Hebei, China to investigate the uniformity along the length of border or furrow to understand the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of soil water, electrical conductivity, and nitrate. This will guide irrigation and fertigation management recommendations, land consolidation, and high standard farmland construction. Border and furr

Background: Psychological maltreatment is linked to negative developmental outcomes in adolescents. It includes psychological abuse (PA) and psychological neglect (PN), which are commonly studied as a pair. This study applied the dimensional model of adversity and psychopathology (DMAP), which conceptualises abuse as a threatening experience involving harm or the threat of harm that primarily impairs social-emotional processing, such as emotion regulation, while it views neglect as deprivation or absence of parental care that predominantly affects cognitive functioning, such as working memory.

Abstract Background Fluoroscopic imaging involves exposure of the patients and the laboratory staff to ionizing radiation. One of the strategies that reduce such exposure in an electrophysiology laboratory is using a three‐dimensional electroanatomic mapping (3D EAM) system for performing these procedures. In this analysis, we have analyzed the effect of fluoroscopy frame rate on the radiation exposure and in‐hospital outcomes in ablation procedures performed under 3D EAM guidance. Methods We retrospectively analyzed all the ablation procedures performed under 3D EAM guidance at our institute

Abstract Intermittent fasting (IF) as a dietary intervention with potential health benefits has garnered significant attention in recent years. This study investigated the effects of varying fasting intensities on skeletal muscle growth using mouse models. Compared to the normal-diet (ND) control group, short-term fasting induced feeding amount-dependent alterations in skeletal muscle autophagy markers, characterized by elevated LC3B expression, reduced p62 levels, and decreased p-mTOR/mTOR ratio. Notably, short-term mild fasting (sMF) significantly upregulated myogenic (MYH, MyoD) and adipoge

While measures to detect psychophysical olfactory ability are a crucial part of clinicians' assessment of potential olfactory loss, it gives no indication of how olfaction is experienced by the patient and these different aspects often deviate substantially. To ensure quality and reproducibility of subjectively reported olfactory experience and significance, the Importance of Olfaction Questionnaire (IO-Q) was introduced around a decade ago, and while initial validations have produced promising results, important aspects remain nearly unexamined.

To test which factors influence the formation of adventitious branches in brackish and in more marine conditions, we sampled 29 Fucus sites in the Baltic Sea (salinity 3–11) and 18 sites from the Danish straits, Kattegat, Skagerrak, and the North Sea (salinity 15–35).

Abstract Background Rhipicephalus ( Boophilus ) microplus is an economically important tick of cattle involved in the transmission of Babesia bovis , the etiological agent of bovine babesiosis. Commercial anti-tick vaccines based on the R. microplus Bm86 glycoprotein have shown some effect in controlling tick infestation; however their efficacy as a stand-alone solution for tick control has been questioned. Understanding the role of the Bm86 gene product in tick biology is critical to identifying additional methods to utilize Bm86 to reduce R. microplus infestation and babesia transmission. Ad

Water soaking is a common disorder of field-grown strawberries, and its incidence can be severe. Calcium (Ca) sprays reduce susceptibility to water soaking. Vascular import of Ca to developing strawberry fruit decreases during development as a result of progressive xylem dysfunction. Calcium sprays can raise Ca levels in late-stage strawberry fruit. The objective of this study was to quantify Ca uptake through the fruit skin. Submerging fruit in calcium chloride (CaCl2) solutions increased both the mass of Ca per fruit and the mass of Ca per fruit dry mass. There was no effect of CaCl2 solutio
