SPF 27 KIDS Summary: Chronic stress disrupts microbiota-gut-brain axis function and is associated with altered tryptophan metabolism, impaired gut barrier function, and disrupted diurnal rhythms.However, little is known about the effects of acute stress on the gut and how it is influenced by diurnal physiology.Here, we used germ-free and antibiotic
First Report of Amaranthus palmeri S. Wats. in Cotton, Maize and Sorghum in Greece and Problems with Its Management
Amaranthus palmeri S.Wats., or commonly Palmer amaranth, is an invasive plant species that has invaded many countries worldwide and causes significant yield losses to annual spring crops.Palmer amaranth biotypes were detected in maize and sorghum fields in Western Greece and cotton fields in Central Greece in 2020.The infestations were recorded bot
Universality of Logarithmic Loss in Fixed-Length Lossy Compression
We established a universality of logarithmic loss over a finite alphabet as a distortion criterion Travel Cases in fixed-length lossy compression.For any fixed-length lossy-compression problem under an arbitrary distortion criterion, we show that there is an equivalent lossy-compression problem under logarithmic loss.The equivalence is in the stron
Harvest strategies for the elimination of low prevalence wildlife diseases
The intensive harvesting of hosts is often the only practicable strategy for controlling emerging wildlife diseases.Several harvesting approaches have been explored theoretically with the objective of lowering transmission rates, decreasing the transmission period or specifically targeting spatial disease clusters or high-risk demographic groups.He
An Equivalent Linear Method to Predict Nonlinear Bending Mechanics of Dredging Floating Hose String
Dredging hoses are flexible and are particularly suitable for slurry transportations for mud or sand in dredging projects.To achieve sufficient bending stiffness and to prevent the pipe body from collapsing, this type of hose segment is Queen Canopy Bed a composite structure that is embedded with several cord reinforcement layers and steel wires in
