Saccharomyces boulardii RC009 as an alternative to prophylactic antibiotics: effects on broiler chickens, performance, and gut microbiome

This study evaluates the effects of supplementing broiler chicken feed with the probiotic Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii RC009 as a sustainable alternative to prophylactic antibiotics. The focus was on productive performance, gut m...

Does ESG Disclosure Help Improve Intangible Capital? Evidence From A-Share Listed Companies

With the disclosure of ESG, the investment related to ESG disclosure has increased, and the trend of changes in intangible capital has shown an “inverted S-shaped” curve. The research shows that, in the initial stage of investment in ESG co...

Bio-Template Synthesis of V₂O₃@Carbonized Dictyophora Composites for Advanced Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries

In terms of new-generation energy-storing devices, aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are becoming the prime candidates because of their inexpensive nature, inherent safety, environmental benignity and abundant resources. Nevertheless, due ...

An Unsupervised and End-to-End Registration Method Using Offset Field and Pseudodata for Video SAR Images

Video synthetic aperture radar (video SAR) has been successfully applied in many fields and the registration of the video SAR images has been proven to be a crucial step in their preprocessing. However, video SAR images exhibit more severe ...

A six‐port network based on substrate integrated waveguide coupler with metal strips

Abstract In this study, a novel coupling structure based on half‐mode substrate‐integrated waveguide (HMSIW) is proposed with a small size and broad bandwidth. The HMSIW coupler is realised by connecting their equivalent magnetic walls with...

Transient Elastography and Video Recovery Narrative Access to Support Recovery From Alcohol Misuse: Development of a Novel Intervention for Use in Community Alcohol Treatment Services

BackgroundMortality from alcohol-related liver disease has risen significantly for 3 decades. Transient elastography (TE) is a noninvasive test providing a numerical marker of liver disease. Preliminary evidence suggests that TE can reduce ...

Increased remission with fewer corticosteroids and more biologics in rheumatoid arthritis at 7-year follow-up in real-life conditions

Abstract Remission in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an important therapeutic target that is not easy to achieve in real-life conditions. Some prognostic factors have been identified but the literature is variable. The objectives of this stud...

A New Strategy for Efficient Screening and Identification of Monoclonal Antibodies against Oncogenic Avian Herpesvirus Utilizing CRISPR/Cas9-Based Gene-Editing Technology

Marek’s disease virus (MDV) is an important oncogenic α-herpesvirus that induces Marek’s disease (MD), characterized by severe immunosuppression and rapid-onset T-cell lymphomas in its natural chicken hosts. Historically, MD is regarded as ...

How <i>Phytophthora</i> Effectors Disrupt Post-Translational Regulation in Plant Immunity: Canonical and Non-Canonical Mechanisms

Plant–pathogen interactions are shaped by dynamic regulatory processes that control immune signaling. Among these, post-translational modifications (PTMs) play central roles in modulating protein activity, stability, and interaction network...

Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix: From molecular basis to therapeutic advances

Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix (SCNECC) is an uncommon but aggressive uterine malignancy, the cause of which is generally associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. A lack of clinical trials and evidence-based ...

UTRme: A Scoring-Based Tool to Annotate Untranslated Regions in Trypanosomatid Genomes

Most signals involved in post-transcriptional regulatory networks are located in the untranslated regions (UTRs) of the mRNAs. Therefore, to deepen our understanding of gene expression regulation, delimitation of these regions with high acc...

Current Trends in Tolerance Induction in Cow's Milk Allergy: From Passive to Proactive Strategies

This review addresses the current strategies of inducing tolerance development in infant and childhood cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA). The change in prevention strategies for CMPA has been emphasized based on the lack of evidence to supp...

Management of Ureters Involved in Inguinal Hernias

Background: The presence of a ureter in a hernia sac presents a unique surgical challenge and can increase the likelihood of ureteral injury at the time of surgery as they are often not identified pre-operatively. Here we present our instit...

Small Object Detection Algorithm Based on Improved YOLOv8 for Remote Sensing

Due to the limitations of small targets in remote sensing images, such as background noise, poor information, and so on, the results of commonly used detection algorithms in small target detection is not satisfactory. To improve the accurac...

Evaluation of the Clinical Utility of Circulating Tumor DNA in the Management of Patients With Nonmetastatic Head and Neck Cancer: Protocol for a Prospective Bicentric Study (CIRVAD).

Computing the Graph-Changing Dynamics of Loop Quantum Gravity

In loop quantum gravity (LQG), states of the gravitational field are represented by labeled graphs called spin networks. Their dynamics can be described by a Hamiltonian constraint, which acts on the spin network states, modifying both spin...

Quantum Interference of Electromechanically Stabilized Emitters in Nanophotonic Devices

Photon-mediated coupling between distant matter qubits may enable secure communication over long distances, the implementation of distributed quantum computing schemes, and the exploration of new regimes of many-body quantum dynamics. Solid...

QG-WRN: A Quantum-Enhanced Graph Convolutional Wide Residual Network for ASD Diagnosis via Neuroimaging Sensing Technology

The pathological mechanism of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibits dual heterogeneity: abnormal local energy metabolism and brain-wide high-order topological failure. To synergistically characterize these complex signals captured by adva...

Reinforcement learning with learned gadgets to tackle hard quantum problems on real hardware

Abstract Quantum computing offers exciting opportunities for simulating complex quantum systems and optimizing large-scale combinatorial problems, but its practical use is limited by device noise and constrained connectivity. Designing quan...
