description: Biomass pretreatment incurs 40% of the overall cost of biorefinery operations. The usage of mushroom cultivation as a pretreatment/delignification technique, and bio-ethanol production from spent mushroom substrates, after subsequent pretreatment, saccharification and fermentation processes, have been reported earlier. However, the present pilot-scale, entirely-organic demonstration is one of the very first biorefinery models, which efficiently consolidates: biomass pretreatment; in-situ cellulase production and saccharification; mushroom cultivation, thereby improving the overall operational economy. During pretreatment, the oyster mushroom, Pluerotus florida VS-6, matures into distinct substrate mycelia and fruiting bodies. Consequential variations in the kinetics of growth, biomass degradation/substrate utilization, oxygen uptake and transfer rates, and enzyme production, have been analyzed. Signifying the first-time usage of a biomass mixture, comprising vegetative waste and e-commerce packaging waste, the 30 day-long, bio-economical, non-inhibitor-generating, catabolite repression-limited, solid-state in-situ pretreatment-cum-saccharification, resulted in: 78% lignin degradation; 13.25% soluble-sugar release; 18.25% mushroom yield; 0.88 FPU/g.ds cellulase secretion. The in-situ saccharified biomass, when sequentially subjected to ex-situ enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation, showed 37.35% saccharification, and a bio-ethanol yield of 0.425 g per g of glucose, respectively. Apart from yielding engine-ready bio-ethanol, the model doubles as an agripreneurial proposition, and encourages mushroom cultivation and consumption.

description: Initially produced quark-gluon matter at RHIC and LHC does not have a temperature. A quark-gluon plasma has a high temperature. From this quark-gluon matter to the quark-gluon plasma is the early thermalization or the rapid creation of temperature. Elastic three-parton scattering plays a key role in the process. The temperature originates from the two-parton scattering, the three-parton scattering, the four-parton scattering and so forth in quark-gluon matter.

description: Eine effektive Logopädietherapie kann viel zur Förderung von Kindern und Jugendlichen im Autismus-Spektrum beitragen. Die Besonderheiten in der Kommunikation, Interaktion und im Verhalten von Kindern und Jugendlichen im Autismus-Spektrum fordern ein autismusspezifisches Wissen und ein angepasstes therapeutisches Handeln von den Logopäd:innen. Viele Logopäd:innen aus allen Berufsfeldern therapieren mindestens einmal in ihrer Laufbahn ein Kind oder einen Jugendlichen im Autismus-Spektrum (Sodogé und Eckert, 2021; Sodogé, Schweizer und Eckert, 2022). Wenn dieser Fall eintrifft, kann es sein, dass eine Vertiefung in dieses spezifische Arbeitsfeld noch nicht möglich war oder bereits eine längere Zeit zurück liegt.
 Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit hat sich daher das Ziel gesetzt, evidenz- sowie erfahrungsbasierte Empfehlungen mittels Expert:innen-Interviews für die logopädische Arbeit bei Vorschulkindern im Autismus-Spektrum zu verfassen. Logopäd:innen, die keine oder wenig praktische Erfahrungen in diesem Arbeitsfeld haben, sollen anhand dieser Empfehlungen den Einstieg in das Arbeitsfeld des Autismus-Spektrums erleichtert werden. Dazu wurden Logopädiestudent:innen sowie Fachpersonen aus dem logopädischen Frühbereich und der Heilpädagogischen Früherziehung mittels Expert:innen-Interview befragt. Als theoretische Grundlagen dienten Ausführungen zum Phänomen Autismus-Spektrum und zur logopädischen Förderung von Vorschulkindern im Autismus-Spektrum. Die transkribierten Interviews wurden in mehreren Durchläufen sortiert und kodiert. Das Ergebnis sind gebündelte Empfehlungen zu den Kategorien Relevantes Wissen zum Autismus-Spektrum im Zusammenhang mit der Frühlogopädie, Empfohlene evidenzbasierte Methoden und Ansätze für die Frühlogopädie bei Vorschulkindern im Autismus-Spektrum und Erfahrungsbasierte Empfehlungen für die Frühlogopädie mit Vorschulkindern im Autismus-Spektrum. Aus den Empfehlungen entstand eine kompakte Broschüre, welche Logopäd:innen fachspezifisch bei ihrer Arbeit mit Vorschulkindern im Autismus-Spektrum unterstützen soll. In einem zukünftigen Forschungsschritt wäre es interessant zu erfahren, wie die Empfehlungen praktisch von den Logopäd:innen umgesetzt werden und welche Themen eine zusätzliche Vertiefung für eine erfolgreiche Logopädietherapie im Autismus-Spektrum benötigen.

description: The choice of the right problem-solving method, from available methods, is a crucial
skill for experts in many areas. We present a technique for automatic selection among
methods based on analysis of their past performances. We formalize the statistical problem
involved in choosing an efficient method, derive a solution to this problem, and describe
a selection algorithm. The algorithm not only chooses among available methods, but also
decides when to abandon the chosen method if it takes too much time. We then extend
the basic statistical technique to account for problem sizes and similarity among problems.

description: The idea of detecting the entanglement of a given bipartite state by searching for symmetric extensions of this state was first proposed by Doherty, Parrilo and Spedialeri. The complete family of separability tests it generates, often referred to as the hierarchy of $k$-extendibility tests, has already proved to be most promising. The goal of this paper is to try and quantify the efficiency of this separability criterion in typical scenarios. For that, we essentially take two approaches. First, we compute the average width of the set of $k$-extendible states, in order to see how it scales with the one of separable states. And second, we characterize when random-induced states are, depending on the ancilla dimension, with high probability violating or not the $k$-extendibility test, and compare the obtained result with the corresponding one for entanglement vs separability. The main results can be precisely phrased as follows: on $\mathbf{C}^d\otimes\mathbf{C}^d$, when $d$ grows, the average width of the set of $k$-extendible states is equivalent to $(2/\sqrt{k})/d$, while random states obtained as partial traces over an environment $\mathbf{C}^s$ of uniformly distributed pure states are violating the $k$-extendibility test with probability going to $1$ if $s

description: Η έννοια του Employer Branding έχει εμφανιστεί τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες και λαμβάνει συνεχώς όλο και περισσότερη προσοχή. Υπάρχουν μελέτες, οι οποίες έχουν συσχετίσει το Employer Branding με θετικά αποτελέσματα, όπως είναι η προσέλκυση των υποψήφιων εργαζόμενων σε μία επιχείρηση και η μακροχρόνια διατήρηση του ανθρώπινου δυναμικού της. Έχει, ακόμα, συνδεθεί θετικά με την εργασιακή ικανοποίηση των εργαζομένων. Όλα τα παραπάνω είναι πολύ σημαντικά για μία επιχείρηση και δημιουργούν ένα ανταγωνιστικό πλεονέκτημα για αυτήν. Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας είναι να διερευνήσει περεταίρω τη σχέση του Employer Branding με την προσέλκυση, τη διατήρηση και την εργασιακή ικανοποίηση των εργαζομένων σε μία επιχείρηση. Για το σκοπό αυτό πραγματοποιήθηκε έρευνα τόσο σε θεωρητικό βαθμό, μέσα από την ανασκόπηση της ήδη υπάρχουσας βιβλιογραφίας, όσο και σε εμπειρικό βαθμό, με τη βοήθεια ενός ερωτηματολογίου και την ανάλυση των απαντήσεων που δόθηκαν. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, οι υποθέσεις της παρούσας έρευνας επιβεβαιώθηκαν, ενισχύοντας τις ήδη υπάρχουσες θεωρίες ότι υπάρχει ισχυρά θετική σύνδεση του Employer Branding με τη προσέλκυση και τη διατήρηση των εργαζομένων μιας επιχείρησης, καθώς και με την εργασιακή ικανοποίηση
description: The concept of Employer Branding has emerged over the last few decades and it is constantly receiving more and more attention. Several studies have associated Employer Branding with positive results, such as the attraction of prospective employees to a company and the long-term retention of them. It has also been positively linked to employee job satisfaction. All of the above are very important factors and they are capable of creating a competitive advantage for a company. This paper aims to investigate further the relationship between Employer Branding and the attraction, retention and job satisfaction of the employees in a company. The research was carried out both theoretically, through the review of the already existing literature, and empirically, with the help of a questionnaire and the analysis of the answers given. More specifically, the hypotheses of the present research were confirmed, reinforcing the already existing theories that there is a strong positive connection between Employer Branding and attraction, retention of a company's employees and job satisfaction

description: Given an image (or video clip, or audio song), how do we automatically assign keywords to it? The general problem is to find correlations across the media in a collection of multimedia objects like video clips, with colors, and/or motion, and/or audio, and/or text scripts. We propose a novel, graph-based approach, "MMG", to discover such cross-modal correlations.Our "MMG" method requires no tuning, no clustering, no user-determined constants; it can be applied to any  multimedia collection, as long as we have a similarity function for each medium; and it scales linearly with the database size. We report auto-captioning experiments on the "standard" Corel image database of 680 MB, where it outperforms domain specific, fine-tuned methods by up to 10 percentage points in captioning accuracy (50% relative improvement).

description: This article reports on the excavation of Archaic houses (6th-early 5th century b.c.) in 2005 and 2006 at Azoria in eastern Crete. Five houses are discussed: four on the South Acropolis on the periphery of the civic center, and one on the North Acropolis. Well-preserved floor deposits provide evidence for room functions and permit a preliminary analysis of domestic space. The houses fill a lacuna in the published record of the 6th and early 5th centuries b.c. and contribute to our understanding of the form of Archaic houses in the Aegean and the integration of domestic space into an urban context.

description: The analysis of the three-dimensional structure of proteins is an important topic in molecular biochemistry. Structure plays a critical role in defining the function of proteins and is more strongly conserved than amino acid sequence over evolutionary timescales. A key challenge is the identification and evaluation of structural similarity between proteins; such analysis can aid in understanding the role of newly discovered proteins and help elucidate evolutionary relationships between organisms. Computational biologists have developed many clever algorithmic techniques for comparing protein structures, however, all are based on heuristic optimization criteria, making statistical interpretation somewhat difficult. Here we present a fully probabilistic framework for pairwise structural alignment of proteins. Our approach has several advantages, including the ability to capture alignment uncertainty and to estimate key "gap" parameters which critically affect the quality of the alignment. We show that several existing alignment methods arise as maximum a posteriori estimates under specific choices of prior distributions and error models. Our probabilistic framework is also easily extended to incorporate additional information, which we demonstrate by including primary sequence information to generate simultaneous sequence-structure alignments that can resolve ambiguities obtained using structure alone. This combined model also provides a natural approach for the difficult task of estimating evolutionary distance based on structural alignments. The model is illustrated by comparison with well-established methods on several challenging protein alignment examples.

description: This report summarizes the results of the first season of excavation at Azoria in eastern Crete and provides an overview of the project's goals and problem orientation. Work in 2002 concentrated on the peak of the South Acropolis and the occupational phases of the seventh-sixth centuries B.C. The recovery of a possible andreion complex suggests the urban character of the site in the sixth century and forms a starting point for discussing the political economy of the Archaic city. The excavations revealed important evidence for the organization of the sixth-century settlement and for the complex stratigraphic history of the site, including the Final Neolithic, Late Prepalatial, Early Iron Age, Archaic, and Hellenistic periods.

description: This article constitutes the second of two reports on fieldwork conducted at Azoria in eastern Crete during the 2003 and 2004 excavation seasons. Evidence of Final Neolithic and Early Iron Age occupation and traces of Late Prepalatial activity were found underlying the Archaic civic buildings on the South Acropolis, particularly along the southwest terrace. The recovery of substantial Final Neolithic architectural and habitation remains contributes to our understanding of the 4th millennium in eastern Crete. Stratigraphic excavations have also clarified the spatial extent of the settlement from Late Minoan IIIC to the Late Geometric period, and brought to light evidence for the transition from the Early Iron Age to the Archaic period, and the transformation of the site in the 7th century b.c.

description: Chi-square processes with trend appear naturally as limiting processes in various statistical models. In this paper we are concerned with the exact tail asymptotics of the supremum taken over (0; 1) of a class of locally stationary chi-square processes with particular admissible trends. An important tool for establishing our results is a weak version of Slepian's lemma for chi-square processes. Some special cases including squared Brownian bridge and Bessel process are discussed.

description: Labeling video data is an essential prerequisite for many vision applications that depend on training data, such as visual information retrieval, object recognition, and human activity modeling. However, manually creating labels is not only time-consuming but also subject to human errors, and eventually, becomes impossible for a very large amount of data (e.g. 24/7 surveillance video). To minimize the human effort in labeling, we propose a unified multi-class active learning approach for automatically labeling video data. The contributions of this paper include extending active learning from binary classes to multiple classes and evaluating several practical sample selection strategies. The experimental results show that the proposed approach works effectively even with a significantly reduced amount of labeled data. The best sample selection strategy can achieve more than a 50% error reduction over random sample selection.

The invariant space of field equation solutions is obtained with respect to an indecomposable representation of the de Sitter group. By using the general solution of the massless spin-$\frac{3}{2}$ field equation, the vector-spinor quantum field operator and its corresponding Fock space is constructed. The quantum field operator can be written in terms of the vector-spinor polarization states and a quantum conformally coupled massless scalar field, which is constructed on Bunch-Davies vacuum state. The two-point function is also presented, which is de Sitter covariant and analytic.

description: High-resolution ground-based optical speckle and near-infrared adaptive optics images are taken to search for stars in close angular proximity to host stars of candidate planets identified by the NASA Kepler Mission. Neighboring stars are a potential source of false positive signals. These stars also blend into Kepler light curves, affecting estimated planet properties, and are important for an understanding of planets in multiple star systems. Deep images with high angular resolution help to validate candidate planets by excluding potential background eclipsing binaries as the source of the transit signals. A study of 18 Kepler Object of Interest stars hosting a total of 28 candidate and validated planets is presented. Validation levels are determined for 18 planets against the likelihood of a false positive from a background eclipsing binary. Most of these are validated at the 99% level or higher, including 5 newly-validated planets in two systems: Kepler-430 and Kepler-431. The stellar properties of the candidate host stars are determined by supplementing existing literature values with new spectroscopic characterizations. Close neighbors of 7 of these stars are examined using multi-wavelength photometry to determine their nature and influence on the candidate planet properties. Most of the close neighbors appear to be gravitationally-bound secondaries, while a few are best explained as closely co-aligned field stars. Revised planet properties are derived for each candidate and validated planet, including cases where the close neighbors are the potential host stars.

description: Beyond manual and automated post-editing, we describe an approach that takes post-editing information to automatically improve the underlying rules and lexical entries of a transfer-based Machine Translation (MT) system. This process can be divided into two main steps. In the first step, an online post-editing tool allows for easy error diagnosis and implicit error categorization. In the second step, an Automatic Rule Refiner performs error remediation, by tracking errors and suggesting repairs that are mostly lexical and morphosyntactic in nature (such as word-order or incorrect agreement in transfer rules). This approach directly improves the intelligibility of corrected MT output and, more interestingly, it generalizes over unseen data, providing improved MT output for similar sentences that have not been corrected. Hence our approach is an alternative to fully-automated Post-Editing.

description: We consider monopoles with singularities of Dirac type on quasiregular Sasakian three-folds fibering over a compact Riemann surface $Σ$, for example the Hopf fibration $S^3\longrightarrow S^2$. We show that these correspond to holomorphic objects on $Σ$, which we call twisted bundle triples. These are somewhat similar to Murray's bundle gerbes. A spectral curve construction allows us to classify these structures, and, conjecturally, monopoles.

description: La muerte es un tema que despierta interés desde el inicio de los tiempos. El hecho de conocer qué destino espera a las almas tras la muerte está envuelto de enigmas. La idea de que la vida es un instante fugaz, más allá de ser un motivo presente en la literatura universal, justifica la necesaria búsqueda de explicacionesA finales del siglo XIV hubo una elevada mortalidad, a causa de epidemias como la peste negra, la pobreza y las guerras. Por este motivo, en una sociedad occidental profundamente religiosa, la muerte se convirtió en una obsesión entre la ciudadanía. Se asociaba la muerte a una supuesta cólera divina en respuesta a los pecados cometidos por la humanidad. Esta idea se arraigó con los discursos de los predicadores en el occidente europeo. Estos recordaban a los fieles la necesidad de que existiese una conversión interior desde el ejercicio de las virtudes.

description: In this paper we study a real scalar field as a possible candidate to explain the dark matter in the universe. In the context of a free scalar field with quadratic potential, we have used Union 2.1 SN Ia observational data jointly with a Planck prior over the dark matter density parameter to set a lower limit on the dark matter mass as $m\geq0.12H_0^{-1}$ eV ($c=\hbar=1$). For the recent value of the Hubble constant indicated by the Hubble Space Telescope, namely $H_0=73\pm1.8$ km s$^{-1}$Mpc$^{-1}$, this leads to $m\geq1.56\times10^{-33}$ eV at 99.7\% c.l. Such value is much smaller than $m\sim 10^{-22}$ eV previously estimated for some models. Nevertheless, it is still in agreement with them once we have not found evidences for a upper limit on the scalar field dark matter mass from SN Ia analysis. In practice, it confirms free real scalar field as a viable candidate for dark matter in agreement with previous studies in the context of density perturbations, which include scalar field self interaction.

description: The goal of this project is to understand female-specific mechanisms of metabolic health and brain integrity in a mid-to-late life. The majority of prior work has focused on universal mechanisms of neurodegeneration, despite evidence that women are diagnosed with neurocognitive diseases, such as Alzheimer’s Disease, at nearly double the rate of their male counterparts. Further, much research over the past decade has pointed at midlife as an important period for investigating vulnerability to later cognitive decline, as many brain pathologies emerge approximately 20 years prior to clinical diagnosis. This time period is particularly important for women as it is marked by major hormonal changes, most notably the loss of estrogen, caused by the menopausal transition. The proposed projects have three specific aims: 1) to explore the complex associations among markers of peripheral metabolic health and brain integrity in men and women separately using network analysis, and test the capacity of network metrics to predict current cognitive function; 2) to examine the role of estradiol in influencing the female network of cardiometabolic health and brain integrity markers in a sample of women straddling the menopausal transition; and 3) to determine if metabolic and inflammatory markers that correspond to the menopausal transition predict plasma tau in an elastic net model. The results of these studies will provide insight into why women might suffer particular vulnerability to neurocognitive disorders and if these mechanisms are visible before onset of clinical symptoms. The use of network analysis and machine learning is novel in this application and provides broader information about relationships between complex biological symptoms. Additionally, information about the role of estrogen in these relationships could aid in understanding how hormones might operate in a neuro- or cardio- protective manner, which could help inform the design of early diagnostic and intervention tools which are sex-specific.

description: The static and dynamic magnetic properties of tetragonally distorted Mn--Ga based alloys were investigated. Static properties are determined in magnetic fields up to 6.5~T using SQUID magnetometry. For the pure Mn$_{1.6}$Ga film, the saturation magnetisation is 0.36~MA/m and the coercivity is 0.29~T. Partial substitution of Mn by Co results in Mn$_{2.6}$Co$_{0.3}$Ga$_{1.1}$. The saturation magnetisation of those films drops to 0.2~MA/m and the coercivity is increased to 1~T. Time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect (TR-MOKE) is used to probe the high-frequency dynamics of Mn--Ga. The ferromagnetic resonance frequency extrapolated to zero-field is found to be 125~GHz with a Gilbert damping, $α$, of 0.019. The anisotropy field is determined from both SQUID and TR-MOKE to be 4.5~T, corresponding to an effective anisotropy density of 0.81~MJ/m$^3$. Given the large anisotropy field of the Mn$_{2.6}$Co$_{0.3}$Ga$_{1.1}$ film, pulsed magnetic fields up to 60~T are used to determine the field strength required to saturate the film in the plane. For this, the extraordinary Hall effect was employed as a probe of the local magnetisation. By integrating the reconstructed in--plane magnetisation curve, the effective anisotropy energy density for Mn$_{2.6}$Co$_{0.3}$Ga$_{1.1}$ is determined to be 1.23~MJ/m$^3$.

description: We address the problem of identifying key domain concepts
automatically from an unannotated corpus of goal-oriented
human-human conversations. We examine two clustering
algorithms, one based on mutual information and another one
based on Kullback-Liebler distance. In order to compare the
results from both techniques quantitatively, we evaluate the
outcome clusters against reference concept labels using
precision and recall metrics adopted from the evaluation of
topic identification task. However, since our system allows
more than one cluster to associate with each concept an
additional metric, a singularity score, is added to better capture
cluster quality. Based on the proposed quality metrics, the
results show that Kullback-Liebler-based clustering
outperforms mutual information-based clustering for both the
optimal quality and the quality achieved using an automatic
stopping criterion

description: A procedure and theoretical results are presented for the problem of determining a minimal robust positively invariant (RPI) set for a linear discrete-time system subject to unknown, bounded disturbances. The procedure computes, via the solving of a single LP, a polytopic RPI set that is minimal with respect to the family of RPI sets generated from a finite number of inequalities with pre-defined normal vectors.

When paywall goes AWOL : The demand for open-access education research

Publisher: name: American University

description: As universities cut library funding and forego expensive journal subscriptions, many academic organizations and researchers, including the American Educational Research Association (AERA), are moving toward open-access publications that are freely downloadable by anyone with a working internet connection. However, the impact of paywalls on the consumption of academic articles is unclear. We provide novel evidence on this question by exploiting a natural experiment in which six high-impact, usually gated AERA journals became open access for a 2-month period in 2017. Using monthly download data and an always-open-access journal as a comparison group, we show that making journals open access likely increased article downloads in those journals by 55% to 95% per month. Given a per-article download price of $36, this suggests a relatively elastic response: The average price elasticity of demand for downloads is 1.2, with individual journal elasticities ranging from 0.6 to 2.

description: Algorithms in Computational Geometry and Computer Aided Design are often developed for the Real RAM model of computation, which assumes exactness of all the input arguments and operations. In practice, however, the exactness imposes tremendous limitations on the algorithms—even the basic operations become uncomputable, or prohibitively slow. In some important cases, however, the computations of interest are limited to determining the sign of polynomial expressions. In such circumstances, a faster approach is available: one can evaluate the polynomial in floating-point first, together with some estimate of the rounding error, and fall back to exact arithmetic only if this error is too big to determine the sign reliably. A particularly efficient variation on this approach has been used by Shewchuk in his robust implementations of Orient and InSphere geometric predicates.
We extend Shewchuk's method to arbitrary polynomial expressions. The expressions are given as programs in a suitable source language featuring basic arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and squaring, which are to be perceived by the programmer as exact. The source language also allows for anonymous functions; the use of such functions enables the common functional programming technique of staging. The method is presented formally through several judgments that govern the compilation of the source expression into target code, which is then easily transformed into SML or, in case of single-stage expressions, into C.
The Archaeology of Urbanization: Research Design and the Excavation of an Archaic Greek City on Crete
Creators: name: Haggis, D. C.
Publisher: name: Walter de Gruyter Reference
Year: 2015

description: The paper examines culture change on Crete, ca. 600 B.C., in an urban context. The purpose is to reassess the current methodological discourse, and the application of site-specific recovery methods and research paradigms in addressing traditional problems of polis formation and urbanization in the Greek Aegean. One aspect of urbanization in the Aegean at the end of the Early Iron Age is nucleation of population, the settlement aggregation and the restructuring of social, political and economic landscapes, giving rise to Archaic Greek cities and city-states. This paper presents a case study of an excavation of one such early emergent center, the site of Azoria in eastern Crete (700?500 B.C.). Within contexts of agropastoral production and consumption in domestic and communal spaces, the material patterns suggest public activities that actively formed civic institutions, mediating social and political interaction and forming mechanisms of community organization and integration.

description: 1. The extracellular matrix (ECM) constitutes the basal lamina and the area between follicular cells. Remodelling the ECM is believed to be a key event in follicular development, especially during selection, and plays an important role in cell migration, survival, and steroidogenesis. miR-199-3p is differentially expressed in the goose granulosa layer during follicular selection and is reported to play a primary role in inhibiting cell migration and invasion. Nevertheless, the effect of miR-199-3p on ovarian follicles and its role in follicular cellular migration is not understood. 2. In this study, qRT-PCR assays revealed that miR-199-3p was differentially expressed in the granulosa layer from goose ovarian follicles before and after follicular selection. Additionally, miR-199-3p overexpression in cultured granulosa cells (GCs) from goose pre-hierarchical follicles significantly suppressed cell viability and migration. It elevated the concentration of progesterone and the expression of key progesterone production genes. Furthermore, miR-199-3p overexpression in the GCs of goose pre-hierarchical follicles inhibited the expression of ECM-related genes (ITGB8, MMP9 and MMP15) yet promoted the expression of another two ECM-related genes (COL4A1 and LAMA1). Finally, dual-fluorescence reporter experiments on 293T cells established the direct targeting of ECM gene ITGB8 by miR-199-3p. 3. In conclusion, miR-199-3p may participate in granulosa cell migration, viability, and steroidogenesis in goose ovarian follicles before selection by modulating ITGB8 and other ECM-related genes.
