Sperm Sexing in Selected Animals and Humans: Methods, Applications, and Future Prospects

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sperm sexing is a technique that enables the selection of offspring sex by sorting spermatozoa based on their sex chromosomes. This technology has gained increasing attention due to its potential applications in both animal breeding and human‐assisted reproduction.

Effects of parachute science on local research capacity 降落伞科学对当地研究能力的影响

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Strengthening research capacity is essential to address the global biodiversity crisis. Yet, parachute science often undermines this goal, and its prevalence, costs, and benefits are unclear. We analyzed 13,502 publications on primate research that we extracted from Scopus (1960–2022) to evaluate the effects of parachute science on local ...

Providing regular and frequent maps of losses and gains of farmland birds based on European monitoring data

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge of species distributions is essential for informing policies on nature conservation and restoration. However, updating them on a regular basis and doing so in a harmonized manner at the international level is difficult. The European Bird Census Council integrated national monitoring data covering 5 years to update farmland bird ...

Inference in Probabilistic Logic Programs using Weighted CNF's [PDF]

, 2011
Probabilistic logic programs are logic programs in which some of the facts are annotated with probabilities. Several classical probabilistic inference tasks (such as MAP and computing marginals) have not yet received a lot of attention for this formalism.

Obstructive sleep apnoea is associated with accelerated progression of diabetic kidney disease

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Persons with type 2 diabetes and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) are at high risk of end‐stage kidney disease or death. We investigated the possible contribution of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) to decline in kidney function and renal outcomes.

A new branch of mammalian vitamin B6 metabolism: AKR1C‐mediated conversion of pyridoxal to pyridoxine and 4‐pyridoxolactone

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Pyridoxal 5′‐phosphate (PLP) homeostasis relies on salvage enzymes, yet key metabolic branches remain undefined. We identify AKR1C isozymes as previously undescribed contributors that convert pyridoxal into pyridoxine or 4‐pyridoxolactone through reductase and dehydrogenase activities.

PLP-theory.docx

This paper introduces a novel framework called Pragmatic Logic of Proofs, a formal system designed to address uncertainties and meaningless statements, also through a pragmatic lens. Building on modal logic, the system incorporates new values—Meaninglessness, Uncertainty, Pragmatic Truth, Pragmatic Falsehood, and Pragmatic Neutrality.

Existence, blow-up and exponential decay estimates for a nonlinear wave equation with boundary conditions of two-point type

, 2011
This paper is devoted to study a nonlinear wave equation with boundary conditions of two-point type. First, we state two local existence theorems and under suitable conditions, we prove that any weak solutions with negative initial energy will blow up in

A distinct gene expression mechanism for d‐amino acid utilization in hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The genes PH0137, PH0138, and PH0140 form a cluster in the genome of Pyrococcus horikoshii. The PH0140 gene encodes a transcription factor identified as a d‐amino acid‐responsive regulatory protein (DARP). In feast mode, l‐Ile‐bound DARP binds to the promoter and represses transcription of PH0137 and PH0138. In famine mode, DARP binds to d‐allo‐Ile and

Prevalence of low‐level viremia and its association with virological failure among adolescents living with HIV in Eastern Cape, South Africa

HIV Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Low‐level viremia (LLV) has been associated with an increased risk of virological failure among adults on antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, evidence on the clinical implications of LLV among adolescents living with HIV remains limited.
