Midnight/midday-synchronized expression of cryptochrome genes in the eyes of three teleost species, zebrafish, goldfish, and medaka

Zoological Letters, 2022
Photoperiodic responses are observed in many organisms living in the temperate zones. The circadian clock is involved in photoperiodic time measurement; however, the underlying molecular mechanism for detection of the day length remains unknown.

External pressure dynamics promote kidney viability and perfusate filtration during ex vivo kidney perfusion

Scientific Reports, 2022
Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has not yet been established as a technique for preserving organs for a day. A key contributing factor to the same is that the perfusing solutions cannot circulate continuously and evenly in the organs.

Twinning in Twin Pedigrees [PDF]

Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health, 1950
age of the mother, and the number of previous children born to her, for all births completely registered. Unfortunately the number of previous children does not give exactly the parity of a birth, as some of the previous children may have resulted from multiple births.

Twin-solute, twin-dislocation and twin-twin interactions in magnesium

Journal of Magnesium and Alloys, 2023
Magnesium alloys have received considerable research interest due to their lightweight, high specific strength and excellent castability. However, their plastic deformation is more complicated compared to cubic materials, primarily because their low-symmetry hexagonal close-packed (hcp) crystal structure.
