Identification of tRNA-derived small RNAs and their potential roles in porcine skeletal muscle with intrauterine growth restriction.

Intrauterine growth restriction (iugr) in humans often manifests as poor growth and delayed intellectual development, whereas in domestic animals it results in increased mortality.As a novel epigenetic regulatory molecule, t rna-derived small rnas (ts rnas) have been reported to be involved in many biological processes.In this study, pigs (35d) were used as a model to characterize ts rnas by sequencing in normal and iugr porcine skeletal muscle.A total of 586 ts rnas were identified, of which 103 were specifically expressed in normal-size pigs and 38 were specifically expressed in iugr pigs.The ts rnas formed by splicing before the 5' end anti codon of mature t rna (t rf-5c) accounted for over 90% of ts rnas, which were significantly enriched in iugr pigs than in normal-size pigs.Enriched pathways of differentially expressed ts rnas target genes mainly included metabolic pathways, rap1 signaling pathway, endocytosis, m tor signaling pathway, and ampk signaling pathway.Regulatory network analysis of target genes revealed that igf1 was one of the most important molecules of regulatory nodes in iugr and normal porcine skeletal muscle.In addition, igf1 was found to be one of the target genes of t rf-glu-ttc-047, which is a highly expressed ts rna in iugr pigs.The findings described herein uncover the role of ts rnas in iugr porcine skeletal muscle development, thus providing insights into the prevention and treatment of iugr in mammals.

Optimal Design of Wood/Rice Husk-Waste-Filled PLA Biocomposites Using Integrated CRITIC-MABAC-Based Decision-Making Algorithm.

Based on the criteria importance through inter-criteria correlation (critic) and the multi-attributive border approximation area comparison (mabac), a decision-making algorithm was developed to select the optimal biocomposite material according to several conflicting attributes.Poly(lactic acid) (pla)-based binary biocomposites containing wood waste and ternary biocomposites containing wood waste/rice husk with an overall additive content of 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 wt.% were manufactured and evaluated for physicomechanical and wear properties.For the algorithm, the following performance attributes were considered through testing: the evaluated physical (density, water absorption), mechanical (tensile, flexural, compressive and impact) and sliding wear properties.The water absorption and strength properties were found to be the highest for unfilled pla, while modulus performance remained the highest for 10 wt.% rice husk/wood-waste-added pla biocomposites.The density of pla biocomposites increased as rice husk increased, while it decreased as wood waste increased.The lowest and highest density values were recorded for 10 wt.% wood waste and rice husk/wood-waste-containing pla biocomposites, respectively.The lowest wear was exhibited by the 5 wt.% rice husk/wood-waste-loaded pla biocomposite.The experimental results were composition dependent and devoid of any discernible trend.Consequently, prioritizing the performance of pla biocomposites to choose the best one among a collection of alternatives became challenging.Therefore, a decision-making algorithm, called critic-mabac, was used to select the optimal composition.The importance of attributes was determined by assigning weight using the critic method, while the mabac method was employed to assess the complete ranking of the biocomposites.The results achieved from the hybrid critic-mabac approach demonstrated that the 7.5 wt.% wood-waste-added pla biocomposite exhibited the optimal physicomechanical and wear properties.

Phase retrieval for objects in rain based on a combination of variational image decomposition and variational mode decomposition in FPP.

As far as we know, there is no paper reported to retrieve the phase of an object in rain by the fringe projection profilometry (fpp) method.The fringe projection pattern taken in rain contains much rain noise, which makes it difficult to accurately retrieve the phase of the object.In this paper, we focus on the phase retrieval of the object in rain by the fpp method.We first decompose the original fringe projection pattern into a series of band-limited intrinsic mode functions by the two-dimensional variational mode decomposition (2d-vmd) method.Then we screen out fringe-associated modes adaptively based on mutual information and reconstruct the fringe projection pattern.Next, we decompose the reconstructed fringe projection pattern by the tgv-hilbert-bm3d variational model to obtain the de-rained fringe component.Finally, we use the fourier transform method, phase unwrapping method, and carrier-removal method to obtain the unwrapped phase.We test the proposed method on three fringe projection patterns taken in simulated rain weather, and we compare our proposed method with the phase-shifting method, windowed fourier method, morphological operation-based bidimensional empirical mode decomposition method, 2d-vmd method, and the tgv-hilbert-bm3d method.The experimental results demonstrate that, for the first time to our knowledge, our method can effectively retrieve the phase of an object in rain from a single fringe projection pattern.

Joint inference about the AUC and Youden index for paired biomarkers.

It is common to compare biomarkers' diagnostic or prognostic performance using some summary roc measures such as the area under the roc curve (auc) or the youden index.We propose to compare two paired biomarkers using both the auc and the youden index since the two indices describe different aspects of the roc curve.This comparison can be made by estimating the joint confidence region (an elliptical area) of the differences of the paired aucs and the youden indices.Furthermore, for deciding if one marker is better than the other in terms of both the aucand the youden index (j), we can test h0:auca≤aucbor ja≤jbagainst ha:auca>aucband ja>jbusing the paired differences.The construction of such a joint hypothesis is an example of the multivariate order-restricted hypotheses.For such a hypothesis, we propose and compare three testing procedures: (1) the intersection-union test (iut); (2) the conditional test; and (3) the joint test.The performance of the proposed inference methods was evaluated and compared through simulations.The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed joint confidence region maintains the desired confidence level, and all three tests maintain the type i error under the null.Furthermore, among the three proposed testing methods, the conditional test is the preferred approach with markedly larger power consistently than the other two competing methods.

Successful removal of a giant esophageal lipoma by thoracoscopic enucleation: a case report.

We report a rare case of giant esophageal lipoma treated with thoracoscopic enucleation successfully.Case presentation a 69-year-old woman was referred to our department with dysphagia.Computed tomography examination revealed a large hypoattenuating submucosal mass with dense fat in the middle and lower esophagus.Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a submucosal mass with normal mucosa on the middle and lower esophageal wall.On a diagnosis of esophageal lipoma, we performed a video-assisted thoracoscopic operation and the 14.0 × 6.5 × 3.0 cm in size submucosal tumor was completely enucleated.We could successfully avoid a subtotal esophagectomy with high invasiveness.The patient was discharged on the 36th day after operation, and no symptoms had been noted.Conclusions video-assisted thoracoscopic enucleation with minimal invasiveness may be an appropriate treatment option even for such a huge benign esophageal submucosal tumor.

Leopard density and interspecific spatiotemporal interactions in a hyena-dominated landscape.

Scavenging is widespread in the carnivore guild and can greatly impact food web structures and population dynamics by either facilitation or suppression of sympatric carnivores.Due to habitat loss and fragmentation, carnivores are increasingly forced into close sympatry, possibly resulting in more interactions such as kleptoparasitism and competition.In this paper, we investigate the potential for these interactions when carnivore densities are high.A camera trap survey was conducted in central tuli, botswana, to examine leopard panthera pardusdensities and spatiotemporal activity patterns of leopard and its most important competitors' brown hyena parahyaena brunneaand spotted hyena crocuta crocuta.spatial capture-recapture models estimated leopard population density to be 12.7 ± 3.2 leopard/100 km2, which is one of the highest leopard densities in africa.Time-to-event analyses showed both brown hyena and spotted hyena were observed more frequently before and after a leopard observation than expected by chance.The high spatiotemporal overlap of both hyena species with leopard is possibly explained by leopard providing scavenging opportunities for brown hyena and spotted hyena.Our results suggest that central tuli is a high-density leopard area, despite possible intense kleptoparasitism and competition.

Does default organ donation registration compromise autonomous choice? Public responses to a new donor registration system.

Defaults have been shown to increase the number of organ donor registrations but it is unclear whether they violate personal autonomy of the people being registered.The implementation of a new donor act in the netherlands, providing people with the opportunity for active registration before being defaulted, allowed for examining to what extent default registration affects personal autonomy and associated concepts.In an online survey among a representative sample (n = 1259), four groups were compared regarding autonomy, decision-making competence, decision satisfaction, and being pressured to register as a donor: people (1) who had registered their status prior to the donor act, (2) who had not yet received an invitation for default registration, (3) who had received an invitation and then registered their choice, and (4) who had received an invitation but took no action and were defaulted into donor registration.We found that among the three groups who were the target population of the new arrangement, people who registered their status reported relatively high levels of autonomy and related concepts.However, people who were invited to register but passed the opportunity to respond reported lower scores on these outcomes.We conclude that default organ donation registration may bear negative consequences for a minority of people who feel unable to take action after having been invited to make a choice for registration.

A meta-analysis of proactive personality and career success: The mediating effects of task performance and organizational citizenship behavior.

This study aims to reveal the impact of proactive personality on career success (i.e., subjective career success, salary, and promotion) and the sequential mediation effect of organizational citizenship behavior (ocb) and task performance on the relationship.Utilizing meta-analytic structural equation modeling (masem) technology sampling 101,131 employees from multiple organizations and industries, which deeply decreased sampling error, the results indicated slightly different findings of proactive personality and three types of career success.Specifically, in relation to salary, ocb and task performance independently transmit the effects of proactive personality to subjective career success, but they sequentially mediate this link as well.In regard to subjective career success and promotion, ocb (but not task performance) mediates the relationship between proactive personality and promotion.Ocb and task performance sequentially mediate these links.We discussed findings cautiously and purpose future research directions.

Evaluating the climate impact of aviation emission scenarios towards the Paris agreement including COVID-19 effects.

Aviation is an important contributor to the global economy, satisfying society's mobility needs.It contributes to climate change through co2and non-co2effects, including contrail-cirrus and ozone formation.There is currently significant interest in policies, regulations and research aiming to reduce aviation's climate impact.Here we model the effect of these measures on global warming and perform a bottom-up analysis of potential technical improvements, challenging the assumptions of the targets for the sector with a number of scenarios up to 2100.We show that although the emissions targets for aviation are in line with the overall goals of the paris agreement, there is a high likelihood that the climate impact of aviation will not meet these goals.Our assessment includes feasible technological advancements and the availability of sustainable aviation fuels.This conclusion is robust for several covid-19 recovery scenarios, including changes in travel behaviour.

Practical forensic use of kinship determination using high-density SNP profiling based on a microarray platform, focusing on low-quantity DNA.

Instead of traditional short tandem repeat (str) profiling, the genetic genealogy method, which uses hundreds of thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) spread across genome-wide, has emerged as a powerful kinship determination tool and recently attracted great attention in forensic genetics.In this study, we explored the tolerance and viability of kinship discrimination based on a high-density snp profile for forensic dna, especially focusing on low-quantity dna.Using the affymetrix genome-wide human snp array 6.0 platform (thermo fisher scientific), the influence of low-quantity dna on snp genotype determination was evaluated.The low-quantity dna samples failed once every few samples, the generated snp profile had low data quality.Our investigation revealed that the snp profile with low data quality contained many genotyping errors in which the snp genotype changed from homozygote to heterozygote.The kinship discrimination analysis using king software was directly influenced by these genotyping errors, which was confirmed that some unrelated pairs were mis-specified as 4th-degree relatives.We confirmed that the false heterozygous snps resulted in an inflation of kinship coefficient and a decrease of non-shared allele between a tested pair.To eliminate the influence of these genotyping errors and acquire an accurate kinship discrimination result, we developed a novel method to select only the robust snps, which stably give the genotype determination with high accuracy even in snp profiles with low data quality.The application of our novel method led to the improved results of kinship discrimination up to the same level as in the snp profile with high data quality.In addition, this study demonstrated the advantage of kinship analysis using a high-density snp profile in the forensic field.It is well known that likelihood ratio calculation based on autosomal str profile, which is the most commonly applied approach, has difficulty in gaining true kinship analysis results, especially when the relationship between the tested two individuals is more biologically distant.We showed the kinship discrimination analysis with a high-density snp profile is more suitable for the case without close relatives, using the real case data.Although further study with larger samples will be necessary, this study indicated that practical forensic use of kinship determination with a high-density snp profile would bring benefits to the forensic field.

Who really counts in Iran's National Food Assistance Program? Lessons from multi-stakeholder processes in the wicked policy area of food security.

Multi-stakeholder processes - as a necessary part in the development of public policies - can provide diverse perspectives to inform and to improve food security policy-making.Iran's national food assistance program (nfap) is one of the major welfare programs in iran that reduces food insecutiry to low-income households.This study aimed to identify and to categorize actual and potential stakeholders in nfap using the stakeholder salience model.According to mitchell's theory, stakeholders' attributes (power, legitimacy, and urgency) were assessed based on the nature of their interactions, roles, and level of engagement.Results revealed a number of significant but marginalized stakeholders, including iranian ministry of health (office of community nutrition improvement), academia, center for food and nutrition research, target group, charities, and international organizations, who have not received any targeted organizational attention and priority to their claims.The unbalanced attention provided to some stakeholder groups characterized as "definitive" and "dominant" and ignoring some important ones will jeopardize long-term viability and undermine support for the program with inevitable declines in legitimacy.Understanding the change in the stakeholders' characteristics is the main variable to determine the allocation of organizational resources in response to different and rising stakeholders' demands and possibly the projects outcomes.This will facilitate and enhance the possibility of knowledge exchange and learning, and greater trust among stakeholders during the food and nutrition policy-making process.
