The effect of herbage mass and allowance on herbage intake, diet composition and ingestive behaviour of dairy cows [PDF]
, 2004 peer-reviewedAn experiment was conducted to examine the effects of herbage mass [HM, based on regrowth intervals of 35 (T) and 21 (S) days] and herbage allowance [HA, 20.2 (H) and 12.7 (L) kg organic matter (OM)/cow] on herbage OM intake (OMI), dietary

The management of a blood donor bitten by a snake [PDF]
, 2017 The worldwide burden of snakebite is high and venomous snakes are found in many regions of the world and are a threat to public health. In Italy, for instance, viper bites are an infrequent but not negligible event.

Unleashing the Power of Machine Learning in Nanomedicine Formulation Development
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A random forest machine learning model is able to make predictions on nanoparticle attributes of different nanomedicines (i.e. lipid nanoparticles, liposomes, or PLGA nanoparticles) based on microfluidic formulation parameters. Machine learning models are based on a database of nanoparticle formulations, and models are able to generate unique solutions

Renewed global partnerships and redesigned roadmaps for rabies prevention and control [PDF]
, 2011 Canine rabies, responsible for most human rabies deaths, is a serious global public health concern. This zoonosis is entirely preventable, but by focusing solely upon rabies prevention in humans, this "incurable wound" persists at high costs.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study investigates electromechanical PUFs that improve on traditional electric PUFs. The electron transport materials are coated randomly through selective ligand exchange. It produces multiple keys and a key with motion dependent on percolation and strain, and approaches almost ideal inter‐ and intra‐hamming distances.

Sward structure and ingestive behavior of cows in tropical pastures managed under different forage allowances [PDF]
Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2019 This study evaluated how changing the structure of Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu pasture under different forage allowances (FA) of 4, 7, 10 and 13kg DM/100kg BW (body weight) affected animal behavior over a two-year evaluation period.

Re-examination of the Effects of Food Abundance on Jaw Plasticity in Purple Sea Urchins [PDF]
, 2019 Morphological plasticity is a critical mechanism that animals use to cope with variations in resource availability. During periods of food scarcity, sea urchins demonstrate an increase in jaw length relative to test diameter.
