Ontological polyglossia: the art of communicating in opacity* Polyglossie ontologique : l'art de communiquer dans l'opacité

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
What do communicating with a baby, with an animal, and with an ancestor have in common? In all three cases, people engage in opaque communication that is far from the standard psycholinguistic model of transparent interaction based on shared intentionality.

CHARACTERIZATION OF THE VAGINAL MICROBIOTA OF EWES AND COWS REVEALS A UNIQUE MICROBIOTA WITH LOW LEVELS OF LACTOBACILLI AND NEAR-NEUTRAL PH

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2014
Although a number of common reproductive disorders in livestock involve bacterial infection, very little is known about their normal vaginal microbiota.

Loanwords and Linguistic Phylogenetics: *pelek̑u‐ ‘axe’ and *(H)a(i̯)g̑‐ ‘goat’1

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 116-136, March 2025.
Abstract This paper assesses the role of borrowings in two different approaches to linguistic phylogenetics: Traditional qualitative analyses of lexemes, and quantitative computational analysis of cognacy. It problematises the assumption that loanwords can be excluded altogether from datasets of lexical cognacy.

Romance Loans in Middle Dutch and Middle English: Retained or Lost? A Matter of Metre1

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract Romance words have been borrowed into all medieval West‐Germanic languages. Modern cognates show that the metrical patterns of loans can differ although the Germanic words remain constant: loan words Dutch kolónie, English cólony, German Koloníe compared with Germanic words Dutch wéduwe, English wídow, German Wítwe.

Effect of oleic acid supplementation on prostaglandin production in maternal endometrial and fetal allantochorion cells isolated from late gestation ewes [PDF]

, 2015
Elevated circulating non-esterified fatty acids including oleic acid (OA) are associated with many pregnancy related complications. Prostaglandins (PGs) play crucial roles during parturition.

It draws on ìtàn, a distinct oral source, to show that conjugality shaped Yoruba processes of urbanisation and political centralisation, gendered divisions of labour and social innovation and creativity.

Implications for early rearing techniques: ovarian dynamic and hormonal effects in Barki Ewes

Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology
Background Compared to mature ewes, the ovarian dynamics and hormonal characteristics of ewe lambs aged 10–12 months are still poorly understood, although reproductive efficiency in sheep is essential for increasing flock productivity.

Large‐scale reproductive loss in sheep due to Border disease virus infection, New South Wales, Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Border disease viruses (BDV) and bovine viral diarrhoea viruses (BVDV) are members of the Pestivirus genus in the family Flaviviridae. While BVDV is one of the most significant endemic viral infections of cattle in Australia, BDV infection is generally considered to be uncommon in Australian sheep.
