Quality of Forage Cactus Silage with the Addition of Hay from Forages Adapted to the Semiarid Region
This study investigated the effects of including hays from different forages adapted to the semiarid region on the forage cactus (Opuntia fícus‐indica (L.) Mill) silage quality. A completely randomized design, with five treatments was used: pure forage cactus and forage cactus associated with 30% hay from gliricidia (Gliricidia sepium), pornunça ...

In this study, we investigated the predictive value of tumor mutational burden (TMB) for assessing the efficacy of pembrolizumab in a Japanese cohort. We analyzed real‐world data from 63,952 patients registered in the C‐CAT database who underwent comprehensive genomic profiling, and evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of pembrolizumab in 1899 of these ...

ABSTRACT Pollination is a key ecosystem service, yet most studies focus on diurnal interactions, often overlooking nocturnal pollinators such as hawkmoths and settling moths. In arid environments, nocturnal pollination plays a crucial role in maintaining native plant species of high biocultural value, as seen in the Caatinga dry forest.
