Prevotella copri increases fat accumulation in pigs fed with formula diets
Microbiome, 2021 Background Excessive fat accumulation of pigs is undesirable, as it severely affects economic returns in the modern pig industry. Studies in humans and mice have examined the role of the gut microbiome in host energy metabolism. Commercial Duroc pigs are

Efficient Pig Counting in Crowds with Keypoints Tracking and Spatial-aware Temporal Response Filtering [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Pig counting is a crucial task for large-scale pig farming, which is usually completed by human visually. But this process is very time-consuming and error-prone. Few studies in literature developed automated pig counting method. Existing methods only focused on pig counting using single image, and its accuracy is challenged by several factors ...

The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf: Case Studies of Peer Review [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 I present for your appraisal three independent cases of the manuscript referee process conducted by a venerable peer-reviewed scientific journal. Each case involves a little pig, who submitted for consideration a theoretical plan for a house to be constructed presently, in a faraway land.

Path-Integral Ground-State and Superfluid Hydrodynamics of a Bosonic Gas of Hard Spheres [PDF]
Phys. Rev. A 88, 053617 (2013), 2013 We study a bosonic gas of hard spheres by using of the exact zero-temperature Path-Integral Ground-State (PIGS) Monte Carlo method and the equations of superfluid hydrodynamics. The PIGS method is implemented to calculate for the bulk system the energy per particle and the condensate fraction through a large range of the gas parameter $na^3$ (with $n ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Glioblastoma multiforme is the most devastating and incurable brain tumor. To better study this disease, a 3D model is developed using a hyaluronic acid‐based hydrogel combined with a multicellular approach. This model recapitulates in vivo brain stiffness, cell‐extracellular matrix and cell‐cell interactions and the tumor's hijacking function with the
