Challenges in Bringing Pangenome Research Into Breeding: A Case Study in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crop breeding has entered the pangenomics era, unlocking a far more comprehensive view of genetic diversity than a single reference genome can capture. In rice (Oryza sativa), a staple crop critical to global food security, the construction of pangenome resources has uncovered extensive structural variations (SVs), presence/absence variations (

Simulations All the Way Up! An Atheist's Response to the Fine‐Tuning Argument

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT So the Fine‐tuning Argument goes, because it is so unlikely for the physical constants of the laws of nature to have taken the values that they in fact take, we should significantly raise our credence that God exists. Simulation Arguments argue that our world might be (or, in stronger versions, that it probably is) a mere computer simulation ...

Doomsday or Multiverse Bias

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bayesian epistemology faces serious challenges when dealing with self‐locating evidence. This paper argues that, given two modest assumptions about how confirmation should work (Patterning and Live Centers), Bayesianism faces an unavoidable dilemma.

Is Less More? Field Evidence on the Impact of Anti‐Bribery Policies on Employee Knowledge and Corrupt Behavior

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Companies increasingly adopt internal norms to enhance compliance with legal rules. However, the rapid growth in volume and complexity of such internal rules may obstruct employee knowledge and understanding of such internal rules, and therefore also their compliance.

Computers in Our Cosmos: Intersections in Geographies of Care, Abolition Geographies and Worker Movements

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT AI assistants on spacecrafts. Netflix streamed through inter‐planetary communication networks. Colonies on Mars by 2050. While the glamorous public–private ventures into outer space curate discussions on the technical specificities of these proposed projects, this paper reorients discussions on such developments through critical frameworks of ...

50% body weight loading reduces stature increases and lumbar disc expansion from 4 h hyper‐buoyancy floatation versus 15 min sitting upright

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Microgravity is associated with stature increases, back pain and post‐flight intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation. This study aims to determine whether 30 s seated 50% body weight (BW) axial loading is comparable to 15 min sitting upright in 1 g upon changes in stature, anterior lumbar IVD height (via ultrasound), passive vertebral stiffness ...

Cerebrovascular pulsatility following long duration spaceflight is associated with changes in pulse pressure and carotid artery stiffness

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Central artery stiffening increases the haemodynamic pulsations transmitted downstream towards target organs, including the brain. While recent evidence suggests that long duration spaceflight is associated with reduced common carotid artery (CCA) distensibility, cerebrovascular pulsatility has not been extensively characterized in astronauts.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...
