Manure-derived amendments are commonly applied to soil, raising questions about whether antibiotic use in livestock could influence the soil resistome (collective resistance genes (ARGs)) and ultimately contribute spread of humans during food production. Here, we examined metagenomes soils amended with raw or composted manure generated from dairy cows administered pirlimycin cephapirin (antibiotic) no antibiotics (control) relative unamended soils. Initial amendment (Day 1) compost...
The health benefits of urban green spaces (UGS) are important considerations in the design environments. Researchers have analysed how quantity UGS impacts outcomes, but less work has quantified relative different components provision. We examined associations indicators provision with self-reported mental and general based on a national representative household survey (n = 1000) Singapore. three quantitative attributes (vegetation cover, canopy park area) using Geographic Information System...
Although the benefits from exposure to urban green spaces (UGS) are increasingly reported, there important knowledge gaps in nature of UGS-health relationships. One such unknown area is dependence associations on types UGS studied, way they quantified, and spatial scale used analysis. These have ramifications our ability develop generalizations promote implementation facilitate comparative studies across different socio-cultural socio-economic contexts. We conducted a study Singapore examine...
Previous research found that social rejection leads to increased aggression. How can this aggressive behaviour be prevented? Four experiments demonstrate reminders of activity reduce aggression after exclusion. A brief, friendly connection with an experimenter (versus a neutral interaction) reduced rejection. traditional mood induction had no effect on behaviour, showing must effective. Participants who wrote about family member, friend or favourite celebrity were also not The was mediated...
With the increase in availability of metagenomic data generated by next generation sequencing, there is an urgent need for fast and accurate tools identifying viruses host-associated environmental samples. In this paper, we developed a stand-alone pipeline called FastViromeExplorer detection abundance quantification phages large datasets performing rapid searches virus phage sequence databases. Both simulated real from human microbiome ocean samples are used to validate as reliable tool...
There is growing evidence that urban green space (UGS) can promote human health, but our research suggests there still inadequate knowledge to direct planning and design of UGS for improved health outcomes. Given the urgency brought about by global challenges, future should progress from those merely document benefits on directly inform design. To guide such research, a holistic framework clarifies multiple determinants cause-effect pathways between methodological challenges needed. Through...
Record-breaking floods in September 2013 caused massive damage to homes and infrastructure across the Colorado Front Range heavily impacted Cache La Poudre River watershed. Given unique nature of this watershed as a test-bed for tracking environmental pathways antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) dissemination, we sought determine impact extreme flooding on ARG reservoirs river water sediment. We utilized high-throughput DNA sequencing obtain metagenomic profiles ARGs before after flooding,...
Although urban green spaces (UGS) are widely known to confer health benefits, evidence of the specific mechanisms that mediate pathways from UGS provision and exposure outcomes remains limited. In particular, question whether is an independent variable or a mediator in UGS-health linkages inadequately addressed. Using nationally representative household survey Singapore, this study investigated two models linking provision, exposure, three mediators (emotional regulation, social interaction,...
This article addresses the relationship between money and self-esteem, both of which human beings desire. Money is used to purchase products. It may also indicate its owner's competence. Self-esteem subjective evaluation self, people want maintain their good self-image. The exchange self-esteem follow 3 principles: augmentation, substitution, competition. A superior payoff augments utility self-esteem. partially compensate for one another when an option contains abundance type lacks other....
A controlled, integrated, and replicated greenhouse study, along with comprehensive metagenomic analysis, revealed that multiple preharvest factors, including antibiotic use during manure collection, composting, biological soil amendment, type, influence vegetable-borne resistomes. Here, radishes, a root vegetable, carried greater load of ARGs species richness than lettuce, leafy vegetable. However, the lettuce resistome was more noticeably influenced by upstream composting. Network analysis...
Livestock-manure-derived biochar is one of major products obtained from the pyrolysis livestock manure. This study quantitatively assesses pollution level and ecological risks associated with heavy metals in manure produced by its pyrolysis. The geo-accumulation index (GAI) values were significantly decreased (P < 0.05) indicated to be at grade uncontaminated expected for Zn pig-manure-derived (PMB, 0.94, 800 °C) via Therefore, should paid more attention PMB. risk factors (E r i ) result...
Brain computer interface (BCI) technique is successfully utilized to bridge the interruption between brain and peripheral nerves muscles, establish a new pathway making directly output information (or command). Up now, majority of BCI systems are developed restore communication ability or movement functionality for people with severe disabilities, especially paralyzed patients. To our best knowledge, other researchers haven't multi-person competitive mode. Therefore, in this paper, we...
