Circadian miR-218-5p targets gene CA2 to regulate uterine carbonic anhydrase activity during egg shell calcification by Xiaxia Du, Zhifu Cui, Zifan Ning, Xun Deng, Felix Kwame Amevor, Gang Shu, Xiaoqi Wang, Zhichao Zhang, Yaofu Tian, Qing Zhu, Yan Wang, Diyan Li, Yao Zhang, Xiaoling Zhao

“…The results of dual-luciferase reporter gene assays in the present study demonstrated that miR-218-5p directly targeted the 3’ untranslated regions of CA2 and NPAS2. miR-218-5p showed an opposite expression profile to CA2 within a 24 h cycle in the chicken uterus. Moreover, over-expression of miR-218-5p reduced the mRNA and protein expression of CA2, while miR-218-5p knockdown increased CA2 mRNA and protein expression. …”

Assessing hillslope sediment generation potential by tree throw: a preliminary field study along a small river valley in the Jura Mountains, northwest Switzerland by P. Greenwood, J. Bauer, N. J. Kuhn

“…The aims of the work were to assess sediment generation and annual sediment transport rates by tree throw on forested hillslopes and to document surface hydrology characteristics on four fresh tree throw mounds associated with recent tree throws over a 24 d monitoring period. For the tree throw mounds, average sediment recovery ranged from 7.7–28.2 g (dry weight), equivalent to a suspended sediment concentration of 145.2–327.8 g L<span class="inline-formula">⁻¹</span>, and runoff coefficients ranged from 1.0 %–4.2 %. …”

“…The two diets were formulated with 7.98% lipid (the CON group) and 13.86% lipid (the HFD group) to feed 180 juvenile turtles, which were randomly divided into two groups with three replicates per group and 30 turtles in each replicate for six weeks, and the diet experiment was administrated with a photophase regimen of a 24 h light/dark (12L:12D) cycle. At the end of the experiment, the liver tissue samples were collected from nine turtles per group every 3 h (zeitgeber time: ZT 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24) for 24 h to investigate the daily expression and correlation analysis of these genes. …”
