Endothermy, neuron counts, and other issues: Further remarks on neurocognitive evolution in fossil vertebrates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Last year, we challenged the view that large‐bodied theropod dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex resembled primates in cognition and behavior, a proposition made by Herculano‐Houzel in 2023. More recently, Jensen et al. have criticized our work on this topic, raising methodological and conceptual issues.

Microbiological characterization of land set-aside before and after Roundup desiccation

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2011
Luvic chernozem (set-aside from 1996) was evaluated. The first period, before Roundup desiccation (2002-2003), was characterized by black, spontaneous and controlled fallows (mowed with the removal of plant biomass or mulched); the following period (2003-

Influence of Zn2+ and Oxygen Supply on Malic Acid Production and Growth of Aspergillus oryzae

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malic acid is a valuable platform chemical traditionally derived from fossil‐based resources. Microbial cultivation with Aspergillus oryzae offers a sustainable alternative based on renewable feedstocks. In this study, a well‐established minimal medium for malic acid production, commonly used in previous research to ensure reproducibility, was

Reduction in BACE1 decreases body weight, protects against diet-induced obesity and enhances insulin sensitivity in mice [PDF]

, 2012
Insulin resistance and impaired glucose homoeostasis are important indicators of Type 2 diabetes and are early risk factors of AD (Alzheimer's disease).

The myth of the metabolic baseline: sleep–wake cycles undermine a foundational assumption in organismal biology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned

Short-Term Impacts on Soil Biological Properties After Amendment with Biochar from Residual Forestry Biomass

Agriculture
The increasing challenges posed by climate change demand efficient strategies to mitigate soil degradation. Valorization of low-grade residual forestry biomass (acacia) into biochar could be used as a soil amendment strategy.

Epilepsy Phenotypic Spectrum of NUS1‐Related Disorder: A Case Series

Annals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Epilepsy with myoclonic and atonic seizures (EMAtS), also known as Doose syndrome, accounts for 1%–2% of childhood epilepsies, and various genes have been implicated in causing this epilepsy syndrome. NUS1 encodes for Nogo‐B receptor (NgBR), which stabilizes the dehydrodolichyl‐diphosphate synthase complex in the endoplasmic ...

[Basal metabolism and respiratory quotient in obese children].

La Pediatria medica e chirurgica : Medical and surgical pediatrics, 1999
Childhood obesity represents an increasing dysmetabolic condition. The aim of our study was to evaluate the influence of Fat Mass (FM%) on Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) and Respiratory Quotient (RQ) as indicator of substrate oxidation. FFM and FM were estimated by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), using the Kushner equation. Resting metabolic rate
