Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...

Do owners have a Clever Hans effect on dogs? Results of a pointing study
Frontiers in Psychology, 2012 Dogs are exceptionally successful at interpreting human pointing gestures to locate food hidden in one of two containers. However, whether dogs are totally reliant on the pointing gesture itself, or if their success is increased by subtle cues from their

Dust-Obscured Galaxies in the Local Universe [PDF]
, 2013 We use Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), AKARI, and Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) data to select local analogs of high-redshift (z~2) dust obscured galaxies (DOGs). We identify 47 local DOGs with S_{12\mu m}/S_{0.22 \mu m}>892 and S_{12\mu m}>20 mJy at 0.05

Enable Natural Tactile Interaction for Robot Dog based on Large-format Distributed Flexible Pressure Sensors [PDF]
ICRA 2023, 2023 Touch is an important channel for human-robot interaction, while it is challenging for robots to recognize human touch accurately and make appropriate responses. In this paper, we design and implement a set of large-format distributed flexible pressure sensors on a robot dog to enable natural human-robot tactile interaction.

Reduction in livestock losses following placement of livestock guarding dogs and the impact of herd species and dog sex [PDF]
, 2015 Livestock guarding dogs have been placed on South African farms by the not-for-profit organisation, Cheetah Outreach Trust, since 2005, and have been proven to be an efficient form of non-lethal predator control against jackal, caracal, leopards ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for half of the heart failure cases. It is characterised by microvascular dysfunction, associated with reduced pericyte coverage and diminished STAT3 expression in pericytes. Loss of STAT3 impairs pericyte adhesion, promotes senescence, and activates a pro‐fibrotic gene program.

Genetics Research, 2022 Labs as guide dogs or sniffer dogs in usage have been introduced into China for more than 20 years. These two types of working dogs own blunt or acute olfactory senses, which have been obtained by artificial selection in relatively closed populations. In

Dust Properties of Local Dust-Obscured Galaxies with the Submillimeter Array [PDF]
, 2013 We report Submillimeter Array (SMA) observations of the 880 \mu m dust continuum emission for four dust-obscured galaxies (DOGs) in the local universe. Two DOGs are clearly detected with S_\nu(880 \mu m)=10-13 mJy and S/N>5, but the other two are not detected with 3{\sigma} upper limits of S_\nu(880 \mu m)=5-9 mJy.
