RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FECUNDITY AND BIOMETRIC INDICES OF THE SILVER CATFISH Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus (Lacepede) IN THE CROSS RIVER ESTUARY, NIGERIA [PDF]

Croatian Journal of Fisheries, 2013
The relationship between fecundity and biometric parameters of silver catfish, Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus from the Cross River estuary was studied between July and October 2012. A total of 120 gravid female fish were examined.

Soil water repellency changes with depth and relationship to physical properties within wettable and repellent soil profiles

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2017
This study explored the effect of soil water repellency (SWR) on soil hydrophysical properties with depth. Soils were sampled from two distinctly wettable and water repellent soil profiles at depth increments from 0-60 cm. The soils were selected because

Early‐life high‐fat diet exposure increases Achilles tendon stiffness and induces transcriptomic alterations

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Early‐life exposure to a high‐fat diet altered intact Achilles tendons in rat offspring, making them thinner, stiffer, and molecularly distinct even without injury. These findings suggest that developmental high‐fat diet exposure may impair tendon quality and increase susceptibility to mechanical overload or tendon injury later in life.

Soil physical properties and soil organic carbon content in northeast Brazil: long-term tillage systems effects

Scientia Agricola, 2019
Concerns about the negative effects of agriculture on soil physical quality and soil organic carbon (SOC) pools have spurred on the adoption of conservation tillage systems in tropical regions.

Time‐restricted feeding prior to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection reduces tissue CD4+ T cells with limited impact on bacterial clearance

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐restricted feeding (TRF) in mice increased liver fatty acid oxidation and decreased fatty acid biosynthesis. These alterations persisted when TRF was discontinued and the host was infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Pre‐exposure to TRF did not alter tissue (lung and spleen) mycobacterial burden but significantly reduced CD3+ T cells in lungs

SOIL AGGREGATE STABILITY AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES: EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT SIZE FRACTIONS OF BLACK SOLDIER FLY DERIVED COMPOST

Journal of Agriculture and Plant Sciences
An incubation experiment was carried out to observe the effects of black soldier fly larvae derived compost (BSC) on aggregate stability with respect to mean weight diameter (MWD) and the changes in soil organic matter (OM), exchangeable calcium (Ca) and

Effect of land use change on the structure of Gleyic Fluvisols in western Serbia [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2014
Changes in land use can significantly affect aggregate distribution and water stability of structural aggregates. This study was conducted in the Kolubara River Valley, Western Serbia, to determine the effects of land use changes on composition ...

Electrospinning of poly(ethylene oxide) solutions - Quantitative relations between mean nanofibre diameter, concentration, molecular weight, and viscosity

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2019
The process of electrospinning was applied to solutions of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) in distilled water. An increase of mean nanofibre diameter with polymer molecular weight (4 different PEO) and polymer concentration (concentrations chosen with respect to spinnability) was expressed by a simple relationship quantifying this dependence within an ...

Cyclic azapeptide CD36 ligand attenuates cardiac injury and reduces long‐chain fatty acid accumulation after myocardial ischemia–reperfusion in mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In a murine model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R), the CD36 azapeptide ligand MPE‐298 reduces cardiac injury and transiently lowers left ventricular long‐chain fatty acids (LCFAs) accumulation 3 h after reperfusion, accompanied by a decrease of oxidative stress and inflammation‐associated genes' expression in the heart and adipose tissue.

Hyperactive ice‐binding proteins stabilize cell membranes and improve resistance to dehydration stress in Caenorhabditis elegans

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.
