Use of a cryoprotective agent is indispensable to prevent injury human spermatozoa during the cryopreservation process. However, addition agents before cooling and their removal after warming may create severe osmotic stress for cells, resulting in injury. The objective this study was test hypothesis that degree (or magnitude) sperm volume excursion can be used as an independent indicator evaluate predict possible agents. Glycerol model present study. To hypothesis, first tolerance limits...
Abstract Background Metazoan adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing resembles A-to-G mutation and increases proteomic diversity in a temporal-spatial manner, allowing organisms adapting to changeable environment. The editomes many major animal clades remain unexplored, hampering the understanding on evolution adaptation of this essential post-transcriptional modification. Methods We assembled chromosome-level genome Coridius chinensis belonging Hemiptera, fifth largest insect order where...
Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing recodes the genome and confers flexibility for organisms to adapt environment. It is believed that recoding sites are well suited facilitating adaptive evolution by increasing proteomic diversity in a temporal-spatial manner. The function essentiality of few conserved recognized. However, experimentally discovered functional only make up small corner total sites, there still need expand repertoire such with bioinformatic approaches. In this study, we...
The development of cooperatives represents an effective solution to address the looming issue “who will harvest rubber”. Participation in has potential increase income natural rubber farmers, enhance agricultural operational efficiency, and mitigate risks inherent production. Livelihood capital speculative preferences are key factors influencing farmers’ decisions participate cooperatives. However, existing literature largely overlooked intrinsic relationship between livelihood capital,...
Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing is the most prevalent modification in nervous systems of metazoans. To study biological significance editing, we first have to accurately identify these events from transcriptome. The genome-wide identification sites remains a challenging task. In this review, will introduce occurrence, regulation, and importance A-to-I then describe established bioinformatic procedures difficulties accurate sit esespecially small sized non-model insects. brief, (1)...
Adar-mediated adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) mRNA editing is a conserved mechanism that exerts diverse regulatory functions during the development, evolution, and adaptation of metazoans. The accurate detection RNA sites helps us understand their biological significance. In this work, with an improved genome assembly honeybee (
Some natural rubber farmers mistakenly equate the ecological functions of plantations with those primary forests. This cognitive bias can hinder pesticide reduction efforts. Meanwhile, gain security through price insurance, which helps them adopt a long-term perspective on environmental protection, mitigating negative impact biases use decisions. However, existing research often overlooks influence and moderating role insurance satisfaction. study utilizes field survey data from Hainan...
Cryopreservation of murine spermatozoa would provide an efficient method for preserving important genotypes. However, to date such methods have resulted in low survivals with significant variability. To address this issue, a series five experiments was performed determine the cryobiological characteristics spermatozoa. Experiments 1 and 2 investigated effect Percoll separation on hydraulic conductivity (Lp) Both cryoprotective agents (CPAs) decreased Lp. these effects were not additive....
Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing is a co-/post-transcriptional modification introducing A-to-G variations in RNAs. There extensive discussion on whether the flexibility of exerts proteomic diversification role, or it just acts like hardwired mutations to correct genomic allele. Eusocial insects evolved ability generate phenotypically differentiated individuals with same genome, indicating involvement epigenetic/transcriptomic regulation. We obtained genomes 104 Hymenoptera and...
MBD1 (Methyl-CpG Binding Domain Protein 1) is highly expressed in pancreatic cancer. Nrf2 (NF-E2 p45-related factor 2) and the 'antioxidant response element' (ARE)-driven genes that NRF2 controls are frequently upregulated cancer correlate with poor survival. Keap1 (Kelch-like ECH-associated protein a dominant negative regulator of reported to be epigenetically regulated by promoter methylation. However, role antioxidant its association KEAP1 has never been before remains unclear.We...
We develop a theoretical description of radiative thermal conductivity in hyperbolic metamaterials. demonstrate dramatic enhancement the transport due to supersingularity photonic density states media, leading heat which can be comparable nonradiative contribution.
Electron heating measurements have been used to study the electron-phonon scattering time in thin Sb films temperature range 1--4 K. The magnitude of is reasonable accord with theory, while dependence form ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\tau}}}_{\mathit{e}\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{ph}}$\ensuremath{\sim}${\mathit{T}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\alpha}}}$, \ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{\sim}1.4. value \ensuremath{\alpha} appears be significantly smaller than predicted by and not...
A simple electron-heating experiment is described which demonstrates, in an especially striking manner, that the electron temperature can be quite different from lattice temperature. The results are used to determine magnitude of electron-phonon scattering time, found good agreement with theory.
We have studied the response of mesoscopic conductors to microwave electric fields. This is found be nonlinear, with generation a dc voltage, ${\mathit{V}}_{\mathrm{dc}}$, whose magnitude proportional power. ``photovoltaic'' effect sensitive temperature, magnetic field, and precise location scattering centers within sample. Our results are generally in good agreement recent theoretical predictions. However, temperature dependence ${\mathit{V}}_{\mathrm{dc}}$ somewhat weaker than expected,...
The trailing-edge region of turbine airfoils is difficult to cool.

Bumblebees are important pollinators for many wild plants and crops. However, the bumblebee populations seriously declining in parts of world. Hence, conservation strategy should be urgently addressed, species distribution modeling approach can effectively evaluate potentially suitable areas their conservation.

Accurate sleep stage classification is crucial for assessing human quality and understanding disorders. With the advent of deep learning technologies, automated methods have made significant progress. However, challenges brought by brain's time-lag effect, especially due to following three characteristics brain signals, still need be addressed: 1)Brain information propagation delay; 2) Heterogeneous regional activation; 3) Complexity spatio-temporal dynamics; In response these challenges, we...
