Production, Transport, and Metabolism of Volatile Fatty Acids in the Yak Rumen: Unraveling the Unique Mechanisms Underpinning High-Altitude Adaptation

open access: yesMicroorganisms
Volatile fatty acids (VFAs), the primary end-products of microbial fermentation in the ruminant forestomach, supply approximately 70% of the host’s energy requirements and play a pivotal role in maintaining energy homeostasis.

Operational strategies for optimizing grazing when using automatic milking systems in organic dairy production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Successful grazing when using AMS is possible without having to devote a great deal of time to organize and fetch cows every day. However, a careful strategy and good infrastructure, and observation of cow behaviour and pasture are necessary, and the ...

Cathodic Cage Plasma Deposition of Nanostructured Cu–Fe–Se Coatings on Poly(methyl Methacrylate)

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Nanostructured Cu–Fe–Se coatings are deposited on PMMA by a modified cathodic cage plasma process, enabling low‐temperature deposition on polymer substrates. A transition from discontinuous to compact morphology is observed with temperature, with optimal properties at 200°C, where improved CuFeSe2‐type bonding, lowest sheet resistance, and favorable ...

Insecticide ear tags numerically improve grazing cattle performance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Stocker cattle grazing pastures during the summer months face challenges due to horn flies, which can result in reduced weight gains and less efficient use of forages. One strategy for controlling horn flies is insecticide-impregnated ear tags. The use

MOFs and COFs in Electronics: Bridging the Gap between Intrinsic Properties and Measured Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold promise for advanced electronics. However, discrepancies in reported electrical conductivities highlight the importance of measurement methodologies. This review explores intrinsic charge transport mechanisms and extrinsic factors influencing performance, and critically ...
