description: Across several species, females are known to have olfactory abilities superior to males. Human studies have shown that women have lower olfactory thresholds and are better at odor discrimination and identification relative to men. Studies in mice reveal that odor-elicited spatiotemporal activation of olfactory sensory neurons is higher in females than males. The differences are likely brought about by circulating sex hormones. Glomerular odor activation patterns of gonadectomized females and control males are similar, and activation maps of gonadectomized males are similar to that of control females. Our study explores sex differences in olfaction from an oscillatory perspective. Olfactory bulb (OB) local field potentials (LFPs) represent the coordinated activity of bulbar neurons. Olfactory gamma (40-110 Hz) and beta (15- 30 Hz) oscillations have been characterized with respect to their circuits and functions. Spontaneous and odor-evoked OB LFPs were recorded from awake rats at the same time for 12 days. Odors used included urine of both sexes and monomolecular odorants characterized previously for correlation of volatility with behavior and OB oscillations. Sampling duration, spectral composition, and gamma and beta power ratios were analyzed. We report that sniff duration in females is shorter relative to males. Females also show lower gamma and beta power ratios relative to males.

description: We explore the distant giant planet hypothesis by integrating the large semi-major axis, large pericenter Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) in the presence of the giant planets and an external perturber whose orbit is consistent with the proposed distant, eccentric, and inclined giant planet, so called planet 9. We find that TNOs with semi-major axes greater than 250 au experience some longitude of perihelion shepherding, but that a generic outcome of such evolutions is that the TNOs evolve to larger pericenter orbits, and commonly get raised to retrograde inclinations. This pericenter and inclination evolution requires a massive disk of TNOs (tens of M$_\Earth$) in order to explain the detection of the known sample today. Some of the highly inclined orbits produced by the examined perturbers will be inside of the orbital parameter space probed by prior surveys, implying a missing signature of the 9th planet scenario. The distant giant planet scenarios explored in this work do not reproduce the observed signal of simultaneous clustering in argument of pericenter, longitude of the ascending node, and longitude of perihelion in the region of the known TNOs.

description: Assembly and stability of mitotic spindle is governed by the interplay of various intra-cellular forces, e.g. the forces generated by motor proteins by sliding overlapping anti-parallel microtubules (MTs) polymerized from the opposite centrosomes, the interaction of kinetochores with MTs, and the interaction of MTs with the chromosomes arms. We study the mechanical behavior and stability of spindle assembly within the framework of a minimal model which includes all these effects. For this model, we derive a closed--form analytical expression for the force acting between the centrosomes as a function of their separation distance and we show that an effective potential can be associated with the interactions at play. We obtain the stability diagram of spindle formation in terms of parameters characterizing the strength of motor sliding, repulsive forces generated by polymerizing MTs, and the forces arising out of interaction of MTs with kinetochores. The stability diagram helps in quantifying the relative effects of the different interactions and elucidates the role of motor proteins in formation and inhibition of spindle structures during mitotic cell division. We also predict a regime of bistability for certain parameter range, wherein the spindle structure can be stable for two different finite separation distances between centrosomes. This occurrence of bistability also suggests mechanical versatility of such self-assembled spindle structures.

description: We demonstrate coherent control of both the rotational and hyperfine state of ultracold, chemically stable $^{87}$Rb$^{133}$Cs molecules with external microwave fields. We create a sample of ~2000 molecules in the lowest hyperfine level of the rovibronic ground state N = 0. We measure the transition frequencies to 8 different hyperfine levels of the N = 1 state at two magnetic fields ~23 G apart. We determine accurate values of rotational and hyperfine coupling constants that agree well with previous calculations. We observe Rabi oscillations on each transition, allowing complete population transfer to a selected hyperfine level of N = 1. Subsequent application of a second microwave pulse allows transfer of molecules back to a different hyperfine level of N = 0.

description: Gesunde Ökosysteme sind eine Voraussetzung für die Gesundheit der Menschen. Für die Zerstörung der Ökosysteme aufgrund der anthropogenen Klimakrise ist die Energiegewinnung aus fossilen Rohstoffen, Erdöl, Kohle und Erdgas eine wesentliche Ursache. Viele internationale medizinische Organisationen haben daher zu Divestment, also einem Abziehen von Kapital aus die Gesundheit gefährdenden Industrien aufgefordert. Die Kapitalanlagen der ärztlichen berufsständischen Versorgungswerke betragen circa 110 Milliarden Euro. Die Kriterien für die Geldanlagen werden durch Ärzte in den entsprechenden Gremien verantwortet. Für die Mitglieder der Versorgungswerke in Deutschland ist aufgrund mangelnder Transparenz weithin unklar, wie weit die Berücksichtigung von sogenannten ESG-Kriterien (environmental, social, governance) in den Kapitalanlagen bereits umgesetzt ist. Zur Gesunderhaltung der Menschen ist die Klimawirkung der Kapitalanlagen quantitativ und regelmäßig zu erfassen (climate impact analysis). Darüber hinaus müssen zur Wahrung der Rendite klimabezogene Risiken angemessen b134erücksichtigt werden (climate risk analysis). Die Ergebnisse müssen den Mitgliedern der Versorgungswerke zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Der Artikel fasst die am häufigsten in diesem Kontext meist kontrovers diskutierten Inhalte zusammen und verweist auf Best-Practice-Beispiele.

description: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are potential alternatives for common antibiotics because of their greater activity and efficiency against a broad range of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. In this project, two antimicrobial peptides including magainin 2 and protegrin 1 with α-helix and β-sheet secondary structures were selected to investigate their interactions with different lipid bilayers such as 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC), 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine (POPS), 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoglycerol (POPG), and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (POPE), POPC/POPG (7:3), POPC/POPS (7:3), POPG/POPE(1:3), and POPG/POPE(3:1). The obtained structures of the AMPs illustrated that protegrin 1 cannot maintain its secondary structure in the solution phase in contrast to magainin 2. The head groups of the lipid units play a key role in the stability of the lipid bilayers. The head parts of the lipid membranes by increasing the internal H-bond contribute to membrane compactness. The POPG and POPS units inside the POPC/POPG and POPC/POPS membranes increase the order of the POPC units. The cationic residues of the AMPs form remarkable electrostatic interactions with the negatively charged membrane surfaces, which play a key role in the stabilization process of the peptide secondary structures. The Arg residues of protegrin 1 and the Gly1, Lys4, Lys10, Lys11, Lys14, and Glu19 of the magainin 2 have the most important roles in the complexation process. The values of Gibbs binding energies (ΔG) indicate that the complexation process between AMPs and different bacterial membranes is favorable from the thermodynamic viewpoint and AMPs could form stable complexes with the lipid bilayers. As a result of ΔG values, protegrin 1 forms a more stable complex with POPG/POPE(3:1), while the α-helix has more affinity to the POPG/POPE(1:3) bacterial membranes. Therefore, it can be considered that β-sheet and α-helix AMPs are more effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, respectively. The results of this study can provide useful details about the antimicrobial peptide interactions with the bacterial cell, which can be employed for designing new antimicrobial materials with greater efficiency.

description: We explore ways to obtain the very existence of a space-time metric from an action principle that does not refer to it a priori. Although there are reasons to believe that only a non-local theory can viably achieve this goal, we investigate here local theories that start with Schroedinger's purely affine theory [21], where he gave reasons to set the metric proportional to the Ricci curvature aposteriori. When we leave the context of unified field theory, and we couple the non-gravitational matter using some weak equivalence principle, we can show that the propagation of shock waves does not define a lightcone when the purely affine theory is local and avoids the explicit use of the Ricci tensor in realizing the weak equivalence principle. When the Ricci tensor is substituted for the metric, the equations seem to have only a very limited set of solutions. This backs the conviction that viable purely affine theories have to be non-local.

description: We consider weakly-coupled theories of massive higher-spin particles. This class of models includes, for instance, tree-level String Theory and Large-N Yang-Mills theory. The S-matrix in such theories is a meromorphic function obeying unitarity and crossing symmetry. We discuss the (unphysical) regime $s,t \gg 1$, in which we expect the amplitude to be universal and exponentially large. We develop methods to study this regime and show that the amplitude necessarily coincides with the Veneziano amplitude there. In particular, this implies that the leading Regge trajectory, $j(t)$, is asymptotically linear in Yang-Mills theory. Further, our analysis shows that any such theory of higher-spin particles has stringy excitations and infinitely many asymptotically parallel subleading trajectories. More generally, we argue that, under some assumptions, any theory with at least one higher-spin particle must have strings.

description: Although repression against elites is a common occurrence in authoritarian regimes, we know little about which elites are targeted. This paper uses an original dataset on the prosecution of mayors in large Russian cities to examine the factors that make elites more likely to be arrested. We argue that in electoral authoritarian regimes like Russia, regime leaders are reluctant to arrest popular officials. Such officials command political capital that is useful to the regime, and arrests of prominent officials can produce popular backlash. We examine this argument using an original dataset on all arrests of municipal leaders in Russia's 221 largest cities between 2002 and 2018. We find that mayors who won their elections by large margins are less likely to be arrested. In addition, we demonstrate several other substantively important patterns: 1) a mayor's professional background is not related to the likelihood of arrest, 2) opposition mayors are four times more likely to be arrested, and 3) arrests are more likely in ethnic republics.

description: The adhesion of cell membranes is mediated by the binding of membrane-anchored receptor and ligand proteins. In this article, we review recent results from simulations and theory that lead to novel insights on how the binding equilibrium and kinetics of these proteins is affected by the membranes and by the membrane anchoring and molecular properties of the proteins. Simulations and theory both indicate that the binding equilibrium constant K2D and the on- and off-rate constants of anchored receptors and ligands in their 'two-dimensional' (2D) membrane environment strongly depend on the membrane roughness from thermally excited shape fluctuations on nanoscales. Recent theory corroborated by simulations provides a general relation between K2D} and the binding constant K3D of soluble variants of the receptors and ligands that lack the membrane anchors and are free to diffuse in three dimensions (3D).

description: Evidence of trophic interactions are not scarce in the fossil record, yet these are mostly represented by fragmentary fossils exhibiting marks of ambiguous significance. Differentiating between marks of active predation and scavenging events is therefore often challenging. Here, we report on a dugongine sea cow skeleton (partial skull and vertebrae) from the Lower to Middle Miocene Agua Clara Formation (Venezuela) with shark and crocodylian bite marks. The sirenian is identified as Culebratherium sp. and preserves crocodylian bite marks across the skeleton. The most conspicuous correspond to deep tooth impacts with dragging effect, concentrated in the rostrum of the specimen. We interpret these as the result of active predation because of the similarity with those produced when a crocodylian holds or rolls a prey. Additionally, shark bite marks can be observed throughout the skeleton, also evidenced by the finding of an isolated tiger shark (Galeocerdo aduncus) tooth associated with this skeleton. Because of the irregular distribution of the shark bite marks, these are interpreted as scavenging. Overall, these findings constitute one of the few records documenting multiple predators over a single prey, and as such provide a glimpse of the trophic networks during the Miocene in the region.

description: When using digital devices and services, individuals provide their personal data to organizations in exchange for gains in various domains of life. Organizations use these data to run technologies such as smart assistants, augmented reality, and robotics. Most often, these organizations seek to make a profit. Individuals can, however, also provide personal data to public databases that enable nonprofit organizations to promote social welfare if sufficient data are contributed. Regulators have therefore called for efficient ways to help the public collectively benefit from its own data. By implementing an online experiment among 1,696 US citizens, we find that individuals would donate their data even when at risk of getting leaked. The willingness to provide personal data depends on the risk level of a data leak but not on a realistic impact of the data on social welfare. Individuals are less willing to donate their data to the private industry than to academia or the government. Finally, individuals are not sensitive to whether the data are processed by a human-supervised or a self-learning smart assistant.

description: Wenn Jugendliche neu in ein Land mit einer anderen Sprache kommen, haben sie es oft schwer, einen qualifizierten Schulabschluss zu erreichen. Das gilt für die USA genauso wie für Deutschland. Ein Netzwerk von Schulen in den USA macht spezialisierte Angebote für solche spät Zugewanderten. Es führt die Jugendlichen überdurchschnittlich häufig zu einem High School Abschluss, der einen gleichberechtigten Zugang zum College und zu Berufsausbildun-gen ermöglicht. In diesem Arbeitspapier wird der Frage nachgegangen, worauf der Erfolg der Schulen beruht. Basis bildet eine Analyse der pädagogischen Literatur sowie explorative Schulbesuche mit Be-obachtungen und Gesprächen in New Yorker High Schools, die dem Netzwerk angehören. Nach einer kurzen Einführung in Migrationssituation und Schulsystem New Yorks werden in diesem Arbeitspapier anhand von drei Schulbeispielen wesentliche Merkmale der Netzwerk-schulen herausgearbeitet, die exemplarisch dargestellt werden: Die Schulen haben ein klares Konzept und setzen es mit einem engagierten Kollegium um, in dem Schulleitung, Lehrkräfte und andere Professionelle zusammenarbeiten. Das Team gestaltet den Fachunterricht nach dem regulären Curriculum und bereitet Unterrichtsprojekte interdisziplinär und kooperativ vor. Der Fachunterricht wird sprachsensibel gestaltet, so dass sich die Schüler*innen gleich-zeitig anspruchsvolle fachliche Inhalte und die englische Sprache aneignen können. Dazu werden auch gezielt Austauschmöglichkeiten mit anderen Schüler*innen geschaffen und die Nutzung der Herkunftssprache ermutigt. Nach dem Kennenlernen der Netzwerk-Schulen in New York liegt die Frage an das deutsche System nahe, wie bessere Wege zu einem anspruchsvollen Bildungsabschluss für mehrspra-chige Jugendlichen eröffnet werden können, auch wenn ihre Biographie Schulunterbrechun-gen aufweist und sie anfangs kaum Deutsch sprechen.

description: In searching for novel photoactive liquid crystals, we have synthesized a series of five-ring pyridine-based bent-core compounds bearing different substituents at the peripheral phenyl rings (CH3O, Cl and NO2). Their mesomorphic behaviour has been investigated by polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray scattering, and then compared with the unsubstituted parent compound. The introduction of the methoxy groups at the peripheral phenyl rings of the bent core results in a non-mesomorphic compound, whereas the chloro- and nitro-substituted compounds form enantiotropic B1-like phases. Significant changes of the textures and transition temperatures of the mesophase have been observed under UV light. The presented investigation of the mesomorphic properties of the synthesized compounds, coupled with analysis of the molecular packing of the related three-ring compounds, will help to design self-organized molecules suitable for UV indicators.

description: Triggered by the need to clarify the taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships of multiple Late Jurassic species presently assigned to the genus Furo, the taxonomic status of the widely accepted type species F. orthostomus (Agassiz, 1842) was revised. It was found to be a junior synonym of Lepisosteus dentosus Koenig, 1825, and Eugnathus speciosus Agassiz, 1839, two names that despite their availability have not been used for a valid taxon after 1899. Therefore, for the sake of maintaining stability, this contribution shows that the conditions of Article 23.9 ‘Reversal of precedence’ of the Code have been met, and as a result, the younger valid name Eugnathus [= Furo] orthostomus Agassiz, 1842, has priority over its older synonyms Lepisosteus dentosus Koenig, 1825, and Eugnathus speciosus Agassiz, 1839.

Aus dem Blickwinkel der qualitativen Forschung und bezogen auf Fragen der sozialen Nachhaltigkeit in Organisationen skizziert sie zunächst allgemeine normative Theorien, an denen ihre empirische Arbeit ausgerichtet ist. Des weiteren reflektiert die Autorin den normativen Charakter von Wissenschaftsparadigmen und Forschungsmethoden sowie deren Einfluss auf ihre Forschungsarbeit. Sie nutzt die Gelegenheit, dies am Beispiel der noch kaum international rezipierten "Kernsatzmethode" zu tun, welche Forschungsideale des symbolischen Interaktionismus zu perationalisieren erlaubt. Insgesamt entfalten sich so Forschung beeinflussende "Schichten normativen Theorien", oder einfacher ausgedrückt, Werte- und Glaubenssysteme, verwurzelt in Persönlichkeit, Fachlichkeit, rahmenden ethischen Berufs- und methodischen Forschungsparadigmen sowie den Anforderungen konkreter Methoden. Die Argumentation mündet in einen Forschung leitenden Kompass für wissenschaftliche Professionalität und Identität.

description: Die Geschichte des stadtbremischen Pflegekinderwesens, – historisch des „Haltekinderwesens“ – wird in drei großen Abschnitten vorgestellt: Als Teil des Armenwesens (vom Mittelalter bis Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts), in Zeiten gesellschaftlicher und politischer Umbrüche (von der Gründung des bremischen Jugendamts 1912 bis zum Ende des 2. Weltkriegs) und als „verschlungener Reformprozess“ (von 1945 bis in die jüngere Zeit.) Im Mittelpunkt der Darstellung stehen die wechselnden armen- bzw. wohlfahrts- und jugendhilfepolitischen Strategien, die rechtlichen und administrativen Regelungen und die fachlichen Optionen zur Versorgung von Kindern außerhalb ihrer Herkunftsfamilie in einer öffentlich konstituierten oder privat arrangierten Pflegefamilie. Senats- und Bürgerschaftsdrucksachen, Drucksachen und Jahresberichte der Ämter und Behörden, Reformpapiere, interne Erörterungen und „Fallberichte“ der handelnden Personen bilden entsprechend die wichtigsten Quellen der Arbeit. Über allerdings eher selten vorfindliche Egodokumente, sowie über einige Gespräche mit ehemaligen Pflegekindern wird versucht, auch die „Betroffenen“ selbst zu Wort kommen zu lassen.

Of Foreign Countries and Archipelagos of Pain: Metaphors of Exile and Emigration in Disability Poetry

description: Emigration and exile, though powerful metaphors in poetry on disability and illness, have long been overlooked by literary scholars and researchers of disability literature. Yet the connection between the experiences of emigration, an often painful, forced and frightening transition, of being uprooted, alienated from one’s surrounding, resonates quite strongly with the experience of disability, of inhabiting a body that is simultaneously one’s home and, in the most extreme, one’s prison. At the same time, however, emigration can also be a self-determined, conscious and joyful experience, and this more positive aspect of what we might call self-exilement is reflected in much writing on disability, too: Raymond Luczak’s assertion that “[a] deaf man is always a foreign country” (l. 15) is uttered with pride, and the idea of the immigrant uprooted and stranded in a strange land is reserved for the deaf person’s hearing counterpart in his poem “Instructions to Hearing Persons Desiring a Deaf Man.” The “paradoxical fusion of the two seemingly opposed notions of exile and entrapment” (76) that John Ower proposes in his evaluation of home and exile in Canadian poetry, “a double dislocation of sensibility that in turn produces an intense desire for a home which constitutes at the same time a freely chosen and protective center, and a place of escape from exile” (76), also resonates in some disability poetry’s more ambiguous reflections of the body as a simultaneously familiar and alien space, such as when Sheila Black talks about the body she was born in with its “familiar lay of the land, the unkempt trees” (l. 28) as a beloved homeland from which medical treatment has exiled her. The disabled body, it seems, can be imagined as both: haven and prison, exile and home, and it is an ableist assumption that disability automatically equals the denial of access to what Fiser imagines as a land “across the border.” This paper will examine the way in which exile and emigration can be configured and connoted in disability poetry. Discussing two poems about disability—Raymond Luczak’s “Instructions to a Hearing Person Desiring a Deaf Man” (2003) and Sheila Black’s “What You Mourn” (2007)—it will argue that disability poetry’s use of metaphors of exilement can challenge ableist assumptions of the disabled body as prison and of disability as entrapment.
Deafness, Cochlear Implants and the Right to Live as Ethnicity: Negotiations of Deaf Culture and Policy in CHildren's and General Literature

description: After introducing the controversies surrounding the use of CIs and their rootedness in the struggle for and over Deaf culture and identity, this paper discusses how literary characters wearing cochlear implants are used to negotiate Deaf culture in children’s literature. It argues that, while characters with cochlear implants are rare exceptions in general literature (as are, in fact, deaf characters in general), children’s literature dealing with deafness more frequently features CI-characters. At the same time, children’s authors seem to be well aware of the heatedness of the discussion surrounding cochlear implants within the Deaf community, and most novels follow a strategy of avoidance, giving equal space to both sides of the argument and staying clear of any ideological positioning themselves.

description: A novel total ozone retrieval algorithm that we call weighting function DOAS has been successfully implemented as an alternative approach to the standard DOAS differential optical absorption spectroscopy) that is currently operational in the GOME retrieval Gome Data Processor Version 3.0). The weighting function DOAS method, abbreviated WF-DOAS, attempts to fit the vertical column density directly from the differential optical depth spectra and it can be applied to strong and weak absorption. This method has been demonstrated to be applicable to near-infrared trace gas column retrieval with CIAMACHY and it has been adapted for total ozone retrieval in the near UV region. The processing of the GOME data is done in a non-linear least squares fitting using look-up-tables of reference intensities, weighting functions, and Ring spectra derived from the multiple scattering radiative transfer model SCIATRAN/CDI. Particular attention has been placed on proper modeling of the Ring effect that show significant dependence on the ozone profile shape due to molecular (ozone) filling-in. Other geophysical parameters such as effective albedo, cloud-top-height, cloud fraction, and effective height that are retrieved from GOME spectral information are used for the first time in combination to improve the ozone retrieval.

description: Most efficient linear solvers use composable algorithmic components, with the most common model being the combination of a Krylov accelerator and one or more preconditioners. A similar set of concepts may be used for nonlinear algebraic systems, where nonlinear composition of different nonlinear solvers may significantly improve the time to solution. We describe the basic concepts of nonlinear composition and preconditioning and present a number of solvers applicable to nonlinear partial differential equations. We have developed a software framework in order to easily explore the possible combinations of solvers. We show that the performance gains from using composed solvers can be substantial compared with gains from standard Newton-Krylov methods.

description: Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large-scale eruptions of magnetized plasma that may cause severe geomagnetic storms if Earth-directed. Here we report a rare instance with comprehensive in situ and remote sensing observa- tions of a CME combining white-light, radio, and plasma measurements from four different vantage points. For the first time, we have successfully applied a radio direction-finding technique to an interplanetary type II burst detected by two identical widely separated radio receivers. The derived locations of the type II and type III bursts are in general agreement with the white light CME recon- struction. We find that the radio emission arises from the flanks of the CME, and are most likely associated with the CME-driven shock. Our work demon- strates the complementarity between radio triangulation and 3D reconstruction techniques for space weather applications.

description: This study estimated the effects of replacing fish meal (FM) with defatted Periplaneta americana meal (PAM) on the growth, antioxidant status, immunity, and hepatic and intestinal health of juvenile Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Five diets were formulated by replacing 0% (PAM0), 25% (PAM25), 50% (PAM50), 75% (PAM75), and 100% (PAM100) of FM, and then fed to triplicate groups of 15 fish (10.58 ± 0.73 g) for 60 days. The results indicated that growth and feed utilisation were increased in the PAM25 group while decreased in the PAM100 group (P < 0.05). The PAM diets positively influenced serum biochemical parameters. Furthermore, the PAM25 diet enhanced the intestinal protease activity compared to the PAM0 diet (P < 0.05), ameliorating the hepatic and intestinal morphology. In terms of gene expression, PAM25 diet increased the expression levels of growth hormone and growth hormone receptor (P < 0.05) compared to the PAM0 diet. The expression of antioxidant genes was enhanced in the liver and intestine in fish fed PAM25, PAM50, and/or PAM75 diets. The intestinal caspase-3 expression was downregulated (PAM25), while the caspase-9 expression was upregulated in the liver and intestine (PAM75 and PAM100) (P < 0.05). The PAM diets also decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory factor genes, including interleukin-1β (IL-1β) (PAM25 and PAM50) in the liver and IL-1β (PAM25) and interleukin-8 (PAM50) in the head kidney, and increased the expression of anti-inflammatory factor genes such as tumor necrosis factor-α (PAM25) in the liver and head kidney and interleukin-10 (IL-10) (PAM25 and PAM50) in the head kidney (P < 0.05). Overall, these results demonstrated that about 31% replacement of FM (31.58% and 31.93%) with PAM resulted in the best growth performance; However, the FM replacement above 50% declined growth, antioxidant capability, immunity, and hepatic and intestinal health of Nile tilapia.
