Examining the predictive value of fertility preferences among Ghanaian women [PDF]
Despite extensive research, doubts remain regarding the degree of correspondence between prior stated fertility preferences and subsequent fertility behavior. Preference instability is a factor that potentially undermines predictiveness.

Stacking Interventions Enhances Carbon Removals and Profitability of Livestock Production Systems
The study indicates that stacking multiple interventions aimed at maximising soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration and enteric methane (CH4) reductions realizes greater abatement and profit do any singular intervention, especially when SOC sequestration accounts for a significant proportion of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) mitigation. Abstract While

Postponement and recuperation of Belgian fertility: how are they related to rising female educational attainment? [PDF]
Fertility trends in Europe after 1970 are routinely referred to in terms of the postponement of fertility. The shortening of the effective reproductive lifespan and its association with post-materialist values have raised questions as to whether ...

Phytophthora capsici effector PcRD18 targets tomato GSNOR to disrupt NO homeostasis, promoting S‐nitrosylation of immune proteins like RBOHD. This suppresses ROS bursts and promotes pathogen infection. Mutation of the PcRD18‐binding sites of GSNOR avoids pathogen manipulation and offers a strategy to enhance crop resistance. Abstract Nitric oxide (NO),

The influence of employment uncertainty on childbearing in France: A tempo or quantum effect? [PDF]
This paper investigates whether unemployment and insecure employment periods merely delay fertility or also impact on completed fertility in France. It analyses both the timing of first childbearing and the fertility reached at age 40.

Refractive Index‐Corrected Light‐Sheet Microscopy for Macro‐View Cardiovascular Imaging
A refractive index‐corrected light‐sheet fluorescence microscopy system enables macro‐view cardiovascular imaging across organs, adapting to refractive index variations from different optical clearing protocols. By integrating axial sweeping, multi‐view imaging, and a sealed chamber, it extends the field of view, enhances isotropy, and improves safety.

High fertility in city suburbs: compositional or contextual effects? [PDF]
Fertility rates are known to be higher in city suburbs. One interpretation is that the suburban ‘context’ influences the behaviour of individuals who reside there while an alternative is that the ‘composition’ of the suburban population explains the ...

RelA Inhibits Embryonic Myogenesis by Coordinately Regulating a Novel Distal Enhancer of Myogenin
Maternal obesity (MO) accounts for more than 40% of pregnancies in the United States, induces inflammation, and impairs embryonic myogenesis, known to program muscle dysfunction in offspring. Inflammation enhances the binding of RelA to a novel distal enhancer located 4 kb upstream of myogenin promoter to inhibit embryonic myogenesis, which is ...
