Hibernation of predatory arthropods in semi-natural habitats. [PDF]

, 2009
Non-crop habitats provide important resources for natural enemies. Many natural enemies hibernate in non-crop habitats, from which they may colonise arable fields in the spring.

Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

Adaptive Clustering and Deep Learning-Based Model for Predicting Large-Scale Heterogeneous Building Load Profiles

Buildings
Large-scale building load prediction is essential for efficient energy management in smart and low carbon cities. However, the heterogeneity of buildings and sensor-generated noise pose significant challenges to prediction accuracy.

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

A feasibility assessment of low-carbon concrete containing calcined clay and granite powder or dolomitic limestone in Burkina Faso

Scientific Reports
The development of low-carbon concrete (LCC) is crucial for reducing the large carbon footprint of the construction sector, in countries like Burkina Faso where there is a lack of high-purity limestone to produce clinker, resulting in the importation of ...

Distribution and human‐caused mortality of Persian leopards Panthera pardus saxicolor in Iran, based on unpublished data and Farsi gray literature

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Gray literature and data from unpublished sources can provide important scientific information that has not been published scientifically. The Persian leopard (hereafter leopard) Panthera pardus saxicolor is classed as endangered on the Red List of the ...

Ecology of brucellosis of the European hare in the Czech Republic

Veterinární Medicína, 2005
A geographic information system was used for the analysis of ecological conditions of distribution of natural foci of brucellosis in the European hare (Lepus europaeus) and their long-term persistence in the Czech Republic.

Characterization of the key membrane protein cytochrome Cyc2 from Ghiorsea bivora

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study reports the first detailed biochemical analysis of Cyc2TAG1_1, a cytochrome protein involved in microbial iron oxidation. We produced and purified this enzyme in E. coli, then measured its iron‐oxidizing efficiency, and characterized its electrical and structural properties.
