Enhanced propionate and butyrate metabolism in cecal microbiota contributes to cold-stress adaptation in sheep

Microbiome
Background During cold stress, gut microbes play crucial roles in orchestrating energy metabolism to enhance environmental adaptation. In sheep, hindgut microbes ferment carbohydrates to generate short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) as an energy source ...

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Soil Shear Strength in Gully Erosion at Different Developmental Segments of Subalpine Meadows

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Subalpine meadows play important roles in biodiversity conservation and soil carbon sequestration, but gully erosion poses a serious threat to their ecological stability. Soil shear strength (τ) is a key mechanical parameter for evaluating gully stability and soil resistance to failure. However, the spatial variation in soil shear strength and

ADAPT: An Autonomous Forklift for Construction Site Operation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient material logistics are critical in controlling costs and schedules in the construction industry. However, manual material handling remains prone to inefficiencies, delays, and safety risks. Autonomous forklifts offer a solution to streamline on‐site logistics, reducing reliance on human operators and mitigating labor shortages.

Multivalent Bi‐Specific Nanoerythrosomes: A Two‐Birds‐One‐Stone Approach to Combine Homologous and Active Targeting for Effective Thrombolysis

Small, EarlyView.
A multivalent bi‐specific nanoerythrosome (mBiNE@tPA) is developed as a “two‐birds‐one‐stone” platform that simultaneously exploits two principal thrombus components. By integrating erythrocyte membrane‐mediated homologous targeting with cRGD‐based active targeting to activated platelets, mBiNE@tPA achieves enhanced thrombus accumulation, triggered ...

Expression of ESR1, PRLR, GHR, and IGF1R in mammary glands of Hu sheep with four teats

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2019
Supernumerary teats are commonly found in sheep. To investigate the expression levels of hormone receptors in supernumerary teats of Hu sheep, mammary tissue samples were collected from two groups of Hu sheep, four- and two-teat sheep, during adolescent (

Relationships Between HPWS, Causal Ascriptions and Organisational Citizenship Behaviour: A Cross‐Level Investigation

Human Resource Management Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Attribution scholarship has sought to gain insights into employees' human resource attributions, or beliefs about managerial motives, to explain workplace behaviours. Yet this perspective remains confined to the front end of the cognitive process, overlooking how causal ascriptions arising from strategic HRM practices inform subsequent ...
