Structural Variations Associated with Adaptation and Coat Color in Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau Cattle
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study reveals the landscape of structural variants in Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau cattle through long‐read sequencing. Discoveries include metabolic and oxygen‐regulation gene variants, along with a 2‐Mb KIT‐containing inversion and translocations responsible for cattle gray coat. These findings highlight the significant role of structural variants in

Particle Acceleration in Pair-Starved Pulsars [PDF]
Astrophys.J. 617 (2004) 471-479, 2004 We investigate the physical situation above the pulsar polar cap (PC) where the accelerating primaries (electrons) are not capable of producing sufficient numbers of electron-positron pairs at low altitudes (within 1-2 stellar radii above the PC surface) to screen the accelerating electric field, and continue accelerating up to, at least, very high ...

Moderate Hypoxia Exposure: A Novel Strategy to Improve Glucose Metabolism in Humans? [PDF]
European Medical Journal Diabetes, 2015 The obesity epidemic calls for novel strategies to prevent and treat obesity and its comorbidities. Several studies have indicated that the amount of oxygen to which tissues are exposed may substantially impact cardiometabolic health.

Efficiency of Photovoltaic Systems in Mountainous Areas [PDF]
2018 IEEE International Energy Conference (ENERGYCON), 2018 Photovoltaic (PV) systems have received much attention in recent years due to their ability of efficiently converting solar power into electricity, which offers important benefits to the environment. PV systems in regions with high solar irradiation can produce a higher output but the temperature affects their performance.

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.A blackbody‐sensitive infrared photodetector comprised of an open‐shell conjugated polymer demonstrates high sensitivity without cooling and exceptional radiation hardness, surpassing inorganic compound semiconductor devices. This functionality, inherent to the polymer semiconductor, provides a new frontier for low‐cost, size, weight, and power space ...
