Gut microbiota as a novel therapeutic target for eating disorders and obesity

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract highlights the bidirectional interaction between the gut microbiota and central homeostatic and hedonic mechanisms regulating food intake, which contributes to overweight and obesity. It also illustrates emerging microbiota‐based biomarkers and therapeutic strategies (including prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, synbiotics and ...

Simulation and Optimization Experiment of Seven-Link Planting Mechanism Based on Discrete Element Method and Multibody Dynamics (DEM–MBD) Coupling

AgriEngineering
To address issues in traditional vegetable transplanter planting mechanisms such as poor hole-forming quality and low seedling uprightness, a seven-bar linkage planting mechanism with posture compensation of seedling entering soil was designed.

Lifestyle Management in Menopause: A Systematic Review of Women With Premature Ovarian Insufficiency

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), the loss of ovarian function before age 40, increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, low bone mineral density, dementia and psychological distress. Lifestyle interventions reduce chronic disease risk in other populations and, with hormone therapy, may improve health outcomes in POI.

Recent Engineering Intervention in Mechanized Vegetable Transplanting Techniques: A Review of Semi-automatic, Automatic and Fully Automatic Vegetable Transplanters

Asian Research Journal of Agriculture
Rising vegetable demand and a growing shortage of farm labour have increased the need for mechanized transplanting. Manual transplanting is slow, labour-intensive, and often uneconomical, especially during peak agricultural seasons. To address these challenges, recent engineering developments have introduced semi-automatic and fully automatic vegetable

Attractiveness of Melon Genotypes to Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) Mediated by Foliar Morphological and Biochemical Traits

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
This study identifies melon genotypes resistant to Bemisia tabaci by integrating morphological and biochemical leaf traits. Using free‐choice and no‐choice assays, we demonstrate that resistance is primarily mediated by antixenosis. Genotypes CNPH 11‐1071‐43, CNPH 06‐1047‐343, CNPH 13‐1076, and BG MEL 16 significantly reduced whitefly settling and ...

Design and Testing of a Closed Multi-Channel Air-Blowing Seedling Pick-Up Device for an Automatic Vegetable Transplanter

Agriculture
In this study, a closed multi-channel air-blowing plug seedling pick-up device and a combined plug tray were designed to address the issues of complex structure, high seedling damage rates and low pick-up efficiency in fully automated vegetable ...

CD49a expression defines a metabolically robust, cytokine‐biased liver NK cell subset in rhesus macaques during lentivirus infection

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
Liver‐resident NK cells (CD49a+ NK cells) in rhesus macaques display distinct activating receptor and metabolic markers enhanced phenotype compared with hepatic NK cell subsets (CD49a−) in the liver. These cells exhibit heightened cytokine polyfunctionality with restrained cytotoxic responses upon mitogen stimulation in comparison with CD49a− NK cell ...

The Capital–Labour–State Dynamics of Herbicide Adoption in Rainfed India

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper engages debates around the capital–labour–state dynamics of agrarian transitions to address the oft‐studied but still little‐understood question of why farmers adopt herbicides when they do. Over the last several years, smallholder farmers in India have begun using the herbicide bispyribac sodium at breakneck speeds, particularly in

Fixing Rice Stubble Burning for Delhi's Air: Technological Solutionism and Agrarian Governance in Haryana

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Every winter, Delhi's polluted air draws national attention to the burning of rice stubble in neighbouring states. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Haryana in north India, this article shows how bureaucrats and scientists attempt to enact certainty around technological solutions to stubble burning even while privately acknowledging their ...
