Should more teams “trust the process” of tanking?

Contemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract In many professional sport leagues, the worst‐performing teams receive higher probability of earning top draft picks. This provides teams incentives to purposefully lose, or “tank,” if they are not likely to contend for the playoffs or championships.

Flow‐controlled expiration improves gas exchange in anaesthetised horses undergoing orthopaedic surgery

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Flow‐controlled expiration (FLEX) has been shown to significantly enhance oxygenation in horses under laboratory conditions. Objective This study aims to corroborate these findings by evaluating the effects of FLEX on gas exchange in a randomised clinical trial involving a large population of clinical horses undergoing orthopaedic ...

Evaluating the Probability of Survival and Damage Mechanisms of Resin Matrix Ceramics: Insights Into Wear Progression and Surface Damage Under Fatigue

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study evaluated the probability of survival, failure modes, and fatigue‐induced wear progression, as well as assessed damage tolerance under simulated mastication in two resin matrix ceramics (polymer‐infiltrated ceramic networks (PICN) and resin nanoceramic (RNC)).

Effect of Occlusal Adjustment and Subsequent Repolishing on the Translucency Parameter, Contact Angle, and Flexural Strength of Different Types of Glazed Monolithic Zirconia

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study evaluated the effects of material and surface condition (glazed vs. polished after simulated occlusal adjustment) on translucency parameter, contact angle, and flexural strength of four monolithic zirconia. Materials and Methods Disk‐shaped specimens (n = 80, Ø12 × 1 mm) were fabricated from four monolithic zirconia ...

OsFKBP20‐1b stabilizes OsUPF1 and OsUPF2 to promote the degradation of aberrant mRNAs during dehydration stress

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The rice protein OsFKBP20‐1b protects key RNA‐surveillance factors from breakdown, so they can better eliminate defective messages. This RNA quality‐control boost reduces errors and helps plants survive drought, revealing a link between RNA control and drought tolerance.
