Relevance of state–behaviour feedbacks for animal welfare

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An animal's behaviour and its state, including its health and affective state, are dynamic and tightly coupled, influencing each other over time. Although both are relevant to the animal's welfare, there has been limited research on their dynamics in welfare studies. Here we aim to: (i) review evidence for feedbacks between state and behaviour

Early Origins of Asthma and Allergies: Clues From Studies in China

open access: yesClinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.
The environment we live in harbours both risk and protective factors for asthma and allergies. This is particularly relevant in China, where unique environmental and cultural factors shape disease development. The interplay between these environmental factors, airway immunity, and gut microbiome shapes the susceptibility to asthma and allergies ...

An improved point-to-surface contact algorithm with penalty method for peridynamics [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
It is significantly challenging to obtain accurate contact forces in peridynamics (PD) simulations due to the difficulty of surface particles identification, particularly for complex geometries. Here, an improved point-to-surface contact model is proposed for PD with high accuracy.

Connected sums of Brieskorn contact $5$-spheres [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
In dimension $5$, the contact connected sum of Brieskorn contact spheres is, in general, not a Brieskorn contact sphere.
