Assessment of the effect of using immunomodulatory drugs for emergency prevention of experimental plague caused by a virulent strain of the main subspecies Yersinia pestis

Журнал микробиологии, эпидемиологии и иммунобиологии
Introduction. Immunomodulatory drugs (IMD) have great potential to increase the nonspecific reactivity of the organism in a set of measures for emergency prevention of plague. The purpose of the work is to evaluate the protective effectiveness of the use

Tandem Duplication‐Driven Neofunctionalization of UDP‐Glycosyltransferases Shapes the Diversification of Triterpenoid Saponins in the Cucurbitaceae

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a chromosome‐level genome assembly of Siraitia grosvenorii and, through comparative genomics, uncover a conserved UGT73 tandem array driving triterpenoid saponin diversification in Cucurbitaceae. Crystalized SgUGT73AM30 further reveals the regioselectivity mechanism underlying its catalytic activity.

Hemp Cultivation and Crop Diversification: Implications for Ecosystem Services in Kentucky

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the ecosystem benefits of expanding hemp cultivation by assessing its impact on crop diversity. Using scenario‐based simulations and fixed‐effect panel regressions with county‐level data in Kentucky, we find that increased hemp acreage tends to enhance crop diversity, improving water quality and bird diversity.

Determinants of Knowledge and Usage of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Agricultural Extension: Evidence From Tennessee Extension Personnel

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the determinants of generative AI (GenAI) knowledge and usage among agricultural extension professionals. Drawing on survey data from agricultural extension personnel in Tennessee, we employ regression analyses and latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) for topic modeling of open‐ended responses to study the knowledge and usage ...

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

Blockchain‐Based Smart Contracts in US Specialty Crop Marketing: Grower Preferences and Adoption Potential

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using survey and discrete choice experiment data, we examined US specialty crop growers' preferences for marketing contract attributes in the context of emerging blockchain‐based technologies and expanding traceability initiatives. Results show that farmers preferred traditional written contracts but might be willing to accept digital ...

Sampling Strategy: An Overlooked Factor Affecting Artificial Intelligence Prediction Accuracy of Peptides’ Physicochemical Properties

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This study reveals that sampling strategy (i.e., sampling size and approach) is a foundational prerequisite for building accurate and generalizable AI models in peptide discovery. Reaching a threshold of 7.5% of the total tetrapeptide sequence space was essential to ensure reliable predictions.

Implantation‐On‐Chip: An AI‐Based Platform for Monitoring the Embryo Trophoblast–Endometrial Stroma Cross Talk With Xenobiotics Interference

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present a novel AI‐integrated implantation‐on‐chip platform that enables mimicking and monitoring the maternal–fetal interactions at the early phases of human embryo implantation with high spatiotemporal resolution. The complexity of the trophoblast invasion process was addressed by conducting the analysis at global (rate of invasion) and local ...

The recent decline of Montastraea annularis (complex) coral populations in western Curaçao: a cause for concern?

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2006
Shallow leeward reefs off the western end of Curaçao are dominated by extensive populations of M. annularis (complex). These species are larger in size (mean= 66 cm diameter) than all other species, with few small colonies (10 cm observed within ...
