Additives Enhancing Biodegradability in Plastics and Potential Implications for Textiles: A Mechanistic Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Mechanistic insights from additive‐assisted plastic degradation guide the design of environmentally adaptive textile fibers. Functional additives enhance oxidative, hydrolytic, enzymatic, and microbial degradation pathways. Translating these strategies requires control of fiber architecture, additive distribution, and environmental interactions ...

Low-protein diets with balanced amino acids reduce nitrogen excretion and foot pad dermatitis without affecting the growth performance and meat quality of free-range yellow broilers

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2018
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of crude protein (CP) levels on growth performance, carcase quality, meat quality, immune indices, litter and faeces quality, as well as welfare quality, in free-range yellow broilers using balanced ...

Role of soft tissue and bone interactions in the developmental integration and modularity of the skull in neural crest‐specific gap junction alpha‐1 knockout mice

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The vertebrate skull is composed of bones derived from neural crest cells and mesoderm. The evolutionary capacity of the skull has been linked, in part, to the emergence of neural crest cells; however, this increased capacity for evolutionary change requires that variation within neural crest‐ and mesoderm‐derived bones remains partly ...

Soil legacy effects of long-term nitrogen addition on litter decomposition and soil CO2 efflux in a subtropical grassland: a short-term incubation study

Frontiers in Plant Science
Litter decomposition is a key process in carbon (C) and nutrient cycling, but how nitrogen (N) addition affects decomposition via soil properties versus altered litter quality remains unclear. We conducted a 30-day laboratory incubation using litter from

7000 Years of Aboriginal Mining at Sugarloaf Hill in the Riverland Region of South Australia

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Silcrete and chert are commonly represented in Aboriginal archaeological lithic assemblages across large parts of the southwestern Murray‐Darling Basin (MDB). In South Australia (SA), these materials were sourced from a series of quarries located along the incised course of the Murray River through the upper Riverland region.

Establishment of Interspecies Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer and Transgene‐Free Inducible Pluripotent Stem Cells for Versatile Conservation of the Germplasm Resource of Wild Boar

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Conserving genetic material and even increasing genetic diversity is critical. To conduct the conservation of wild boar germplasm resources, we have successfully obtained healthy cloned wild boars for the first time using interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer and established transgene‐free iPSCs that can be used to conduct iterative rounds of gene

Effects of Methionine‐Supplemented Low‐Protein Diets on Production Efficiency, Heat Resilience, and Welfare of Broilers in Tropical Climates

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Background The feeding strategy is one of the alternatives for countering the harmful effects of heat stress in broilers. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of low‐protein diets supplemented with different levels of dietary methionine on ...

Passion Fruit Seed (Passiflora edulis) in the Diets of Meat-type Quails [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science
The study aimed to determine the chemical composition and energetic value of passion fruit seed (PFS) and evaluate the inclusion of PFS in quail diets regarding performance, carcass characteristics, litter quality, meat lipid stability, and economic ...
