Spiking buildings to avoid house martin (Delichon urban) nesting: is it a good choice?

Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2011
We tested the effectiveness of installing spikes (® EcoPic E-5) on building eaves and windows to avoid the nesting of house martins. We found that spikes cannot prevent the nesting or reduce colony size.

Drivers of nest survival in the Tawny-bellied Seedeater Sporophila hypoxantha (Aves: Thraupidae): time-specific factors are more related to success than ecological variables

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
Tawny-bellied Seedeater (Sporophila hypoxantha) is an endangered (in Brazil) grassland dependent species, whose breeding success remains poorly known hampering conservation measures on its breeding grounds.

LDAcoop: Integrating non‐linear population dynamics into the analysis of clonogenic growth in vitro

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Limiting dilution assays (LDAs) quantify clonogenic growth by seeding serial dilutions of cells and scoring wells for colony formation. The fraction of negative wells is plotted against cells seeded and analyzed using the non‐linear modeling of LDAcoop.

Nested T-Duality [PDF]

Letters in Mathematical Physics, 2006
We identify the obstructions for T-dualizing the boundary WZW model and make explicit how they depend on the geometry of branes. In particular, the obstructions disappear for certain brane configurations associated to non-regular elements of the Cartan torus.

Differential regulation of ZFAS1 splice variants by endoplasmic reticulum stress in hepatocyte cell lines

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ZFAS1 is a lncRNA promoting cell proliferation and migration, exhibiting high expression in various cancers. It is conserved, widely expressed, and produces multiple splice variants with unclear roles. We identified several splice variants in hepatocyte models, and found that inhibiting or suppressing regulators of the unfolded protein response (PERK ...

Nested Basin-Sampling

Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation, 2019
We report an embarrassingly parallel method for the evaluation of thermodynaproperties over an energy landscape exhibiting broken ergodicity, nested basin-samp(NBS). We also introduce the No Galilean U-Turn Sampler (NoGUTS), a new sapling scheme based on the No U-Turn Sampler (NUTS) introduced by Hoffman Gelman (2014) that works with the Galilean Monte

Screening and epitope characterization of Nidogen‐2‐specific nanobodies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Camel immunization and phage display were employed to generate high‐affinity VHH nanobodies against Nidogen‐2. After library construction, biopanning, ELISA screening, sequencing, and recombinant expression, selected nanobodies were purified and characterized, leading to the preliminary exploration of a nanobody‐based sandwich ELISA for specific ...

NESTED DOMAIN DEFECTS [PDF]

International Journal of Modern Physics A, 1998
An example of a supersymmetric model involving two interacting chiral superfields is presented here which allows for solutions describing stringlike "domain ribbon" defects embedded within a domain wall. It is energetically favorable for the fermions within the wall to populate the domain ribbons, and an explicit solution is found for the fermion zero

Cutaneous Melanoma Drives Metabolic Changes in the Aged Bone Marrow Immune Microenvironment

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, increasingly affects older adults. Our study reveals that melanoma induces changes in iron and lipid levels in the bone marrow, impacting immune cell populations and increasing susceptibility to ferroptosis.

Two decades of community-based conservation yield valuable insights into marine turtle nesting ecology

Oryx
For the Western Indian Ocean region, there is a significant knowledge gap regarding marine turtle nesting on the continental coast of East Africa. Here we present results from a long-term (2000–2020) community-based monitoring programme in and around ...
