Extensive knowledge of follicular development is imperative for improving egg production in chickens. The functional role of follicles to produce oocytes (eggs) is well recognised; however, specific markers associated with follicle development have been poorly explored. Therefore, a tandem mass tag based proteomic technique was used to identify the status of the proteome of small white follicles (1–4 mm) and small yellow follicles (6–8 mm). Analysis of differentially expressed proteins (DEP, Fold Change > 1.2, P-value < 0.05) demonstrated a total of 92 proteins (n = 92), of which 35 (n = 35) were upregulated and 57 were downregulated. DEP were further used for gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways. The GO analysis found that DEP were mainly associated with the RNA metabolic process, cellular component organisation, peptide biosynthetic process and protein folding, thereby suggesting a key role in the follicle development process. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment pathway analysis of the DEP substantiated the findings of GO analysis and described that DEP are involved in regulation of the cytoskeleton, carbon metabolism and amino acid biosynthesis. The validation of proteomic data through real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction suggested HSPA8, HSPA2, SOD1 and FKPB3 as potential markers of small white and small yellow follicle development. This study demonstrates an understanding of proteome dynamics and represents the most comprehensive information on the entire Guangxi Ma chicken follicular proteome.
Photometric Investigation of Contact Binary DY Cet Based on TESS Data

Published: March 2022

Abstract
We present a photometric analysis of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) light curve of contact binary system DY Cet and the behavior of its orbital period variation. The light curve and published radial velocity data analysis was performed using the Wilson–Devinney code. As a result of simultaneous analysis of the light curve with radial velocity data, the masses and radii of the system’s components were determined as M
1 = 1.55 ± 0.02 M
⊙, M
2 = 0.55 ± 0.01 M
⊙ and R
1 = 1.51 ± 0.02 R
⊙, R
2 = 0.95 ± 0.02 R
⊙, respectively. The degree of contact (f) and mass ratio (q) of the system were determined as 23% and 0.355 ± 0.012, respectively. Orbital period analysis of DY Cet was conducted for the first time in this study. It was observed that the orbital period has a sinusoidal change with decreasing parabola. To explain the orbital period change, mass transfer between components is proposed with the assumption of conservative mass, and the transfer rate was calculated to be dM/dt = 1.1 × 10−7
M
⊙ yr−1. A possible third component is suggested for explaining the sinusoidal change, and the mass of the unseen component was determined as 0.13 M

Published: March 2022

AbstractPurposeThe purpose of this review is to describe the theory behind and data supporting use of aminopenicillins in the treatment of ampicillin-resistant enterococcal urinary tract infections.SummaryAminopenicillin concentrations in the urine may be high enough to achieve bacterial eradication and clinical cure for infections affecting the lower genitourinary tract, even in the context of in vitro resistance based on established susceptibility breakpoints. A literature search was conducted to identify original research articles describing the use of aminopenicillins in the treatment of urinary tract infections caused by ampicillin-resistant Enterococcus species. Three published retrospective cohort studies were identified, all of which reported that aminopenicillins had similar rates of clinical cure as other antibiotic classes prescribed for the treatment of enterococcal urinary tract infections.ConclusionBoth pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic principles and limited retrospective clinical data support the use of aminopenicillins in the treatment of lower urinary tract infections caused by Enterococcus species, even when the isolates have a minimum inhibitory concentration that exceeds the susceptibility breakpoint.
Space, Time, and Quality: A Response to ‘Narrative and Personal Identity’
Authors: Schechtman Marya 
Published: March 2022

AbstractIn ‘Narrative and Personal Identity’, Mark Schroeder (2022) defends an important and exciting account of personal identity. This account starts from insights he finds in Locke and Frankfurt, but moves beyond them in ways that complicate and improve their respective notions of personhood and agency. I argue that he nonetheless retains too much from the views he rejects, especially an undue emphasis on the role of agency in personal identity and an impoverished picture of our embodiment. This paper explains the ways I think Schroeder does not go far enough, and offers an account that takes his insights a step further.
No consistent effect of daytime versus night-time measurement of thermal tolerance in nocturnal and diurnal lizards
Authors: Dufour Pauline C , Tsang Toby P N , Clusella-Trullas Susana , Bonebrake Timothy C 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
While essential in understanding impacts of climate change for organisms, diel variation remains an understudied component of temporal variation in thermal tolerance limits [i.e. the critical thermal minimum (CTmin) and maximum (CTmax)]. For example, a higher Ctmax might be expected for an individual if the measurement is taken during the day (when heat stress is most likely to occur) instead of at night. We measured thermal tolerance (Ctmin and Ctmax) during both the daytime and night-time in 101 nocturnal and diurnal geckos and skinks in Hong Kong and in South Africa, representing six species and covering a range of habitats. We found that period of measurement (day vs. night) only affected Ctmin in South Africa (but not in Hong Kong) and that Ctmax was unaffected. Body size and species were important factors for determining Ctmax in Hong Kong and Ctmin in South Africa, respectively. Overall, however, we did not find consistent diel variation of thermal tolerance and suggest that measurements of critical thermal limits may be influenced by timing of measurement—but that such effects, when present, are likely to be context-dependent.

Abstract

Aims
Age and sex disparities in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) have been described. Reproductive age may have a protected effect on females vs. males, although results are conflicting. We aimed to clarify this using the Paris Sudden Death Expertise Centre (SDEC) registry.

Methods and results
The Paris SDEC registry collects OHCAs occurring in the Greater Paris Area. We included all OHCAs of presumed cardiac causes occurring between 2013 and 2018. Patients were divided into age groups: 1–13, 13–50, 50–75, and &gt;75 years. Sex and age disparities in OHCA incidence and outcomes were analysed using multivariable negative binomial and logistic regression models. There were 19 782 OHCAs meeting inclusion criteria: 0.37% aged 1–13 years, 12.4% aged 13–50 years, 40.4% aged 50–75 years, and 46.9% aged &gt;75 years. Adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRRs) in females vs. males were for the youngest to the older age groups: 1.29 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.78–2.13], 0.54 [0.49–0.59], 0.60 [0.56–0.64], and 0.75 [0.67–0.84]. At reproductive age, females were more likely than males to have a return of spontaneous circulation [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 1.60 (1.27–2.02)], to be alive at hospital admission [OR: 1.49 (1.18–1.89)]. In both sexes, patients aged 13–50 years were more likely to survive at hospital discharge than those aged 50–75 years [males: OR 1.81 (1.49–2.20), females: 2.24 (1.54–3.25)]. However, at reproductive age, no sex disparity was observed in survival at hospital discharge [OR: 1.16 (0.75–1.80)].

Conclusion
Incidence rate ratios were similar between pre- and post-menopausal aged patients. At reproductive age, no sex disparity in survival at hospital discharge was observed, suggesting that menopausal status may not influence OHCA occurrence and prognosis.
Generational Wealth Accounts: Did Public and Private Inter-Generational Transfers Offset Each Other over the Financial Crisis?
Authors: McCarthy David , Sefton James , Lee Ronald , Sambt Joze 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
We develop Generational Wealth Accounts (GWA): the first set of balance sheets, by generations, to include all human capital, tangible wealth, financial wealth, and transfer wealth, and the uses to which these are put, and employ them to quantify inter-generational transfers and the sustainability of consumption. Consumption plans in the UK public sector worsened over the financial crisis and are unsustainable; private sector plans improved, and are now almost balanced. Increases in private capital transfers to the young offset the effect of increased public debt. House price increases shifted resources from young to old but had little effect on sustainability.

Abstract
‘Silver Queen’ sweet corn was planted 27 May at Rock Springs Experimental Farm, Centre County, PA. Plant spacing was 9 inches with 30 inches between rows. Plots were 3 rows x 47 ft arranged in a randomized complete block design with 4 replicates. Insecticides were applied 14, 26 Aug with a high-clearance sprayer delivering 30 gal/acre at 14 psi. Sweet corn was in pollen shedding stage at the first application and had an 8% European corn borer (ECB) infestation. On 2 Sep, 25 ears per plot were selected and examined for signs of insect feeding externally (silks and sides) and internally (kernels and ear tips). Numbers of ECB larvae were counted. Stalk damage caused by ECB was assessed by splitting 10 stalks/plot and counting the number of cavities. Rainfall totalled 3.75 inches for Jun, 5.00 inches for Jul, and 2.18 inches for Aug. Average daily maximum and minimum temperatures (°F) were 84 and 39 for Jun, 91 and 51 for Jul, and 83 and 45 for Aug, respectively.

Abstract
A study was conducted at the Southern University Farm, Southern University, Baton Rouge, LA in late spring of 1986 to evaluate the efficacy of certain compounds for the control of corn earworm. Sweet corn hybrid ‘Biqueen’ was planted on 38-inch rows on 16 Apr with a plant spacing of 1 ft. Plots were arranged in a randomized complete block design with 4 replications of double j row plots 10 ft in length. Pesticides were applied to the ear zone with a SOLO backpack sprayer at ca. 40 psi delivering 40 gal/acre. A hollow cone nozzle containing a D-3 disc, No. 25 core, and 16 mesh strainer was used. Pesticide applications were initiated on 2 Jun at silk emergence, and applied thereafter at 3 day intervals until maturity. Ears were harvested and evaluated for earworm damage on 20 Jun. A damage rating system was used which ranged from 1 (= extreme damage) to 5 (= perfect ear). Marketable ears were defined as those ears with &lt; 0.4 inch damage down the tip of the ear itself.

Abstract
Test chemicals were applied to 9- to 21-year-old apple trees at Monmouth, Maine, as dilute sprays using a hand gun and a hydraulic sprayer operating at 250 psi and at 300 (Tests 1 and 2) to 400 gal/acre (200 gal/acre for Test 2 pink treatments). Spray dates were 13-15 May (pink, P), 29 May (petal fall, PF) 12 Jun (first cover, 1C), 27 Jun (second cover, 2C), and 4-5 and 15 Aug. The standard pesticide program consisted of Difolatan 4F (5 qt/100) on 22-25 Apr, Captan 80W (1 lb) on 7 dates, Manzate 200 80W (1.3 lb) and Imidan 50W (1.1 lb) on 2 days, Pydrin 2.4EC (3.3 oz) on 3 dates, Sevin 80W (1.1 lb) on 4 dates, and Funginex 1.6EC (10 oz) on 1 date. There were no mixtures of acaricides with other pesticides. There were 4 single-tree replications for each treatment. A randomized complete block design was used, with 2 ‘Red Delicious’ and 2 ‘Cortland’ cultivars in Tests 1 and 2, and 3 ‘Red Delicious’ and 1 ‘Cortland’ in Test 3. From each tree 25 leaves were collected at chest-height around the periphery of the tree, brought into the laboratory, and brushed onto glass plates coated with a Tween 20 and alcohol mixture; mites were counted the same day. Although May was fairly warm and wet, the rest of the season was cool and wet, especially the first half of Aug (4.8 inches rain). At least a trace of rain was recorded for over half the days during the season. Of special concern was a 0.4-inch rain which fell immediately after the spray of ABG 6162 on 27 Jun (Test 3).

Abstract
Test materials were applied to 20- to 30-year-old apple trees at Monmouth, Maine, as dilute sprays using a hand gun and a hydraulic sprayer operating at 250 psi at 350 (Test 1) to 400 gal/acre. Trees were sprayed on 10 May (prepink, PP), 28 May (petal fall, PF), 12 Jun (first cover, IC), 24 Jun (second cover, 2C), 7-8 Jul (third cover, 3C), 22-24 Jul (fourth cover, 4C), 5 Aug (fifth cover, 5C), 20-21 Aug (sixth cover, 6C), as noted in the table. The fungicide program consisted of Difolatan 4F (5 qt/100) on 25 Apr (quarter-inch green), Captan 80W (1 lb) plus Benlate 50W (4 oz) on 21 May (bloom) and with Funginex 1.6EC (13 oz) on 26 May and Polyram 80W (2 lb) which was mixed with each insecticide treatment at each spray date. There were 4 single tree replicates for each treatment. A randomized complete block design was used with 2 ‘Mcintosh’ and 2 ‘Cortland’ cultivars in Test 1 and 4 ‘Mcintosh’ in Test 2. Except for test trees, the orchards were not sprayed with insecticides or acaricides. On 28 Aug, about 450 apples were picked from the 4 trees of each treatment and examined on 6 Sep for external egg punctures (AM), egg-laying scars (PC), and typical feeding injuries (CM, LAW, and TPB). ERM were counted on 25 leaves collected at chest-height around the periphery of each tree. Leaves were brought into the laboratory and brushed onto glass plates coated with a Tween 20 and alcohol mixture; mites were counted the same day. Aphid counts were based on 10 randomly selected vegetative terminals around each tree. Numbers of live aphids on the distal 4 unfurled and 1 furled leaves and on the stem included by these leaves were recorded on 23 Jul (Test 1). Although May was fairly warm and wet, the rest of the season was cool and wet, especially the first half of Aug (4.8 inches rain). At least a trace of rain was recorded for over half the days during the season.

Abstract
Onions were seeded 16 Apr on 21 inch beds with a tractor-mounted air planter. Plots were single rows, 10 ft long replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design with an untreated row separating treatments. Because the thrips population was high before the experiment began, all plots were treated once on 12 Jun with Penncap-M and Guthion 2F at 0.5 and 0.75 lb (AI)/acre, respectively. Experimental foliar treatments were applied 10 and 21 Jul using a C02 pressurized sprayer delivering ca. 65 gal water/acre at 35 psi. Thrips were counted 11, 14, 21, 22 and 25 Jul. No phytotoxicity was noted in any of the treatments.
