Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

The relationship between resting metabolic rate and quality of life is moderated by age and body composition in women: a cross-sectional study

BMC Women's Health
Background Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is related to body composition, which is also related to resting metabolic rate (RMR). RMR can be increased by exercise and diet interventions that are not dependent on changes in body composition, so a ...

Predicting rock mass rating ahead of the tunnel face with Bayesian estimation

Frontiers in Earth Science
The rock mass rating (RMR) system plays a crucial role in geomechanics assessments for tunnel projects. However, conventional methods combining empirical and geostatistical approaches often yield inaccuracies, particularly in areas with weak strata such ...

The impact of isosmotic conditions on the metabolism and hypoxia tolerance of a reportedly oxyconforming teleost

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fish must manage the competing demands of ion balance and gas exchange across the gills – a physiological tension known as the osmorespiratory compromise. In dynamic estuarine environments, the osmorespiratory compromise may be exacerbated by variable salinity and periods of hypoxia that demand high respiratory work.

Plastid and nuclear phylogenomics of Cyphostemma (Vitaceae) provide new insights into genome size evolution across sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Some African Cyphostemma species evolved much larger genomes as they adapted to dry, rocky habitats. These expansions are linked to succulent traits and specialization on nutrient‐rich limestone outcrops. The findings show how climate‐driven aridification shaped plant evolution and highlight broader genome‐environment patterns across flowering plants ...

Examining the Lower‐Order Structure of Openness/Intellect Using Traditional and Extended Bass‐Ackwards Methods

Journal of Personality, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective In this study, the lower‐order structure of Openness/Intellect is explored using Goldberg's “bass‐ackward” hierarchical factor analysis approach, including Forbes' extension to this method. Background Research utilizing the Big Five has tended to focus on higher‐order domains, as opposed to lower‐order facets.

Exposure to Subcutaneously Administered Butorphanol in Horses Pre‐Treated With Detomidine or Detomidine‐Vatinoxan

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to determine the exposure to subcutaneously administered butorphanol in horses pre‐treated with intravenous (IV) detomidine, with or without vatinoxan, a peripherally selective alpha2‐adrenoceptor antagonist. Five healthy, adult horses received three IV treatments 7 days apart, in a randomized, cross‐over design ...

Nutrition Strategies for Next‐Generation Incretin Therapies: A Systematic Scoping Review of the Current Evidence

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Next‐generation incretin therapies, including semaglutide and tirzepatide, have transformed obesity and Type 2 diabetes management. However, evidence‐based nutritional strategies to support safe and effective use of these agents remain limited.

Spin dependent transport of ``nonmagnetic metal/zigzag nanotube encapsulating magnetic atoms/nonmagnetic metal'' junctions

, 2004
Towards a novel magnetoresistance (MR) device with a carbon nanotube, we propose ``nonmagnetic metal/zigzag nanotube encapsulating magnetic atoms/nonmagnetic metal'' junctions. We theoretically investigate how spin-polarized edges of the nanotube and the
