Effects of oat protein on hematological parameters and metabolism in Wistar rats
Abstract BACKGROUND Diets rich in plant‐based proteins are becoming increasingly popular, but the safety of extracted oat (Avena sativa L.) protein in relation to cardiometabolic and endocrine risks remains unexplored. This study evaluated the safety of oat protein by analyzing anthropometric, hematological, biochemical, and histopathological ...

An Electrostatic Pest Exclusion Strategy for Greenhouse Tomato Cultivation
Electrostatic devices generating an electric field (EF) are promising tools for greenhouse tomato cultivation. In these devices, an EF is generated in the space surrounding an insulated conductor (IC) that is charged by a voltage generator.

We illustrate how a Bayesian multi‐state mark‐resight (MSMR) modeling approach can be used to estimate survival and cause‐specific mortality probabilities of GPS‐collared European fallow deer in southeastern Australia. Our case study illustrates the flexibility of Bayesian MSMR models for incorporating imperfect detection probability (arising from ...
