Synthesis and Biological Activity of Ultrashort Antimicrobial Peptides Bearing a Non-Coded Amino Acid. [PDF]
J Pept SciUltra‐short antimicrobial peptides containing acyl groups at the N‐terminus and the NCAA His* were prepared. The conformational analysis demonstrated that the peptides exhibiting the highest degree of structure were also those with the greatest antimicrobial activity. A promising candidate (P8) resistant to proteolysis with enhanced biological activity

Placing the transtibial centralisation stitch at the posterior horn of the medial meniscus best restores tibiofemoral contact mechanics and extrusion following medial meniscus posterior root tears: An in vitro biomechanical study using porcine knee joints. [PDF]
J Exp OrthopAbstract Purpose To evaluate whether the position of the transtibial centralisation tunnel, on the background of an anatomical transtibial pull‐through root repair (ATPR), affects the tibiofemoral contact mechanics and meniscal extrusion for medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRT).

Individual Variation in Salt Block Licking and Its Relationship With the Social Hierarchy of Resource Access in Beef Cows: A Case Study. [PDF]
Anim Sci JABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the licking time of salt block (LT) and the social hierarchy (SH) of resource access of cows. LT and SH were determined for 20 days using 19 Japanese Black beef cows under group‐feeding, and then classified into three rank groups (low, medium, and high) based on their SH ranking.
