Livestock Tango: U.S. and Latin America Dance Together, but Who Will Lead?

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the competitiveness between Latin American and U.S. livestock and meat sectors. We employ a computable general equilibrium modeling framework to evaluate two scenarios: coordinated improvements in Latin American productivity, transport efficiency, and market access (Scenario I), and the minimum productivity gains required ...

Generating golden Syrian hamsters with conditional alleles via zygote microinjection of CRISPR/Cas9

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We established the first conditional knockout (cKO) model in the golden Syrian hamster by CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated genome editing. Cas9 protein, two sgRNAs, and a donor plasmid carrying loxP‐flanked exon 2 of the ApoF gene were microinjected into one‐cell embryos. The floxed allele was efficiently generated (up to 27%) and transmitted through the germline.

Multimorbidity and animal models

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Multimorbidity, defined as the coexistence of ≥2 chronic conditions, is associated with aging, genetics, and environmental factors. Animal models in multimorbidity research span three tiers: simple organisms for initial screening → rodents for mechanistic analysis → large mammals for clinical prediction.

Incidence and Prevalence of Congenital Myopathies ‐ A Population‐Based Study From Western Sweden

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Congenital myopathies are a group of rare genetic muscle disorders. Previous studies have estimated point prevalences which only include surviving individuals. Our aim was to perform an epidemiological study with strict inclusion criteria, using modern diagnostic technology to present both incidences and prevalences, and to describe the ...

Does Neuroticism Disrupt the Psychological Benefits of Nostalgia? A Meta‐analytic Test

European Journal of Personality, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Nostalgia, a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, confers self‐oriented, existential, and social benefits. We examined whether nostalgic engagement is less beneficial for individuals who are high in neuroticism (i.e. emotionally unstable and prone to negative affect).

Resveratrol Modulates the Inflammatory Profile of Immune Responses and Circulating Endothelial Cells’ (CECs’) Population During Acute Whole Body Gamma Irradiation

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Wistar rats were whole body irradiated with a single dose of 2 Gy post administration with 10 or 100 mg/kg of resveratrol (RSV) intraperitoneally for 30 days. Rats’ livers were dissected and processed to analyze immune response profiles of Th1, Th2, Th9,

Enhanced Sensitivity of a Modified Quaking‐Induced Conversion Diagnostic Test for the Broad Detection of Sporadic and Inherited Prion Diseases: A Retrospective Study

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Quaking‐induced conversion (QuIC) tests, which detect prion‐seeding activity in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), have markedly advanced the antemortem diagnosis of prion diseases such as Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (CJD). These tests provide high diagnostic accuracy and enable timely differentiation from other rapidly progressive neurodegenerative ...

Practical comparation of the accuracy and speed of YOLO, SSD and Faster RCNN for drone detection

Journal of Engineering, 2021
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have high performance in the fields of object recognition and classification. The strength of CNNs comes from the fact that they are able to extract information from raw-pixel content and learn features automatically ...
