Metabolism in the Zebrafish Retina by Natalia Jaroszynska, Philippa Harding, Mariya Moosajee

“…As the zebrafish retina develops rapidly, reaching an adult-like structure by 72 hours post fertilisation, zebrafish larvae can be used to study metabolism not only during retinogenesis, but also in functionally mature retinae. …”

Winter emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide from a minerotrophic fen under nature conservation management in north-east Germany by V. Huth, G. Jurasinski, S. Glatzel

“…Here we examine the role of extensification practices (such as abandonment of mineral fertilisation, reduced cutting frequency and a cattle-free winter period) on GHG emissions from a temperate peatland during winter. …”

Management Information Systems for Tree Fruit—1: A Review by Hari Krishna Dhonju, Kerry Brian Walsh, Thakur Bhattarai

“…Drivers for orchard MIS development include increasing the orchard size and management complexity, including regulatory requirements around labour, chemical spray use and fertilisation. The enablers include improvements in within-orchard communications, distributed (web) delivery systems using desktop and mobile devices, and sensor systems and predictive models, e.g., for pest management. …”

metamorphoses by Елена Григорьева

“…It can already be noted how fruitful metamorphic processes can be in the cross-fertilisation of different styles, but the dangers of blurring the boundaries are also evident. …”

Time-discounting and tobacco smoking: a systematic review and network analysis by Barlow, P, Reeves, A, McKee, M, Galea, G, Stuckler, D

“…We synthesised findings across methodologies, and evaluated discount measures, study quality, and cross-disciplinary fertilisation. <br/>Results: In 44 out of 54 studies smokers more greatly discounted the future than non-smokers, and in longitudinal studies higher discounting predicted future smoking. …”

Rule and identity in a diverse Mediterranean society: aspects of the county of Tripoli during the twelfth century by Lewis, KJ

“…Chapter four looks at popular religion, arguing that the cross-fertilisation of religious beliefs and practices was widespread but poorly understood by the contemporary intelligentsia, upon whose sources historians rely. …”

Extraction is not a metaphor: decolonial and Black Geographies against the gendered and embodied violence of extractive logics by Murrey, A, Mollett, S

“…We hope that this work challenges some of the methodological nationalism so common within extractive scholarship, and brings extractive processes across disparate South–South and black geographies into conversation, activating a cross-fertilisation of research across otherwise distinct geographies and geographical refrains. …”

MicroRNA and tasiRNA diversity in mature pollen of Arabidopsis thaliana. by Grant-Downton, R, Le Trionnaire, G, Schmid, R, Rodriguez-Enriquez, J, Hafidh, S, Mehdi, S, Twell, D, Dickinson, H

“…Pollen - the male gametophyte - is the specialised haploid structure that generates and delivers the sperm cells to the female gametes at fertilisation. Whether development and differentiation of the male gametophyte depends on the action of microRNAs and trans-acting siRNAs guiding changes in gene expression is largely unknown. …”

Measurements of windblown dust characteristics and ocean fertilization potential: the ephemeral river valleys of Namibia by Dansie, A, Wiggs, G, Thomas, D

“…This aeolian work builds on previous source sediment findings proposing the ephemeral river valleys of Namibia as regionally important sources of dust with enhanced ocean fertilisation potential.…”

A new flow-based design for double-lumen needles by Cimpeanu, R, Castrejon Pita, AA, Lim, LN, Vatish, M, Georgiou, E

“…Oocyte retrieval forms a crucial part of in vitro fertilisation treatment and its ultimate outcome. Standard double-lumen needles, which include a sequence of aspiration and flushing steps, are characterised by a similar success rate to single-lumen needles, despite their increased cost. …”

Effects of population size and metapopulation dynamics on a mating-system polymorphism. by Pannell, J, Barrett, S

“…After prior selfing occurs, some remaining ovules are selfed through competing self-fertilisation in finite populations as a result of random mating among gametes. …”

NAADP-induced calcium release in sea urchin eggs. by Galione, A, Patel, S, Churchill, G

“…A possible role for this novel Ca2+ release mechanism in sea urchin egg fertilisation is discussed.…”

Competition law, state aid law and free-movement law: the case of the environmental integration obligation by Nowag, J

“…One the one hand, it compares how the different tests in competition, State aid and free-movement law operate, thereby offering opportunities for cross-fertilisation. On the other hand, this comparison and the improvements suggested as a result help to conceptualise environmental integration thereby paving the way for a more transparent and consistent integration of environmental protection in competition, State aid and free-movement law.…”

Clinical utilisation of a rapid low-pass whole genome sequencing technique for the diagnosis of aneuploidy in human embryos prior to implantation. by Wells, D, Kaur, K, Grifo, J, Glassner, M, Taylor, J, Fragouli, E, Munne, S

“…BACKGROUND: The majority of human embryos created using in vitro fertilisation (IVF) techniques are aneuploid. Comprehensive chromosome screening methods, applicable to single cells biopsied from preimplantation embryos, allow reliable identification and transfer of euploid embryos. …”

The Seoul of cats and dogs: a trans-species ethnography of animal cruelty and animal welfare in contemporary Korea by Dugnoille, J

“…My research thus contributes to key anthropological debates about the cross-cultural circulation and cross-fertilisation of moral values that impact the ethics of post-industrial human-animal interactions; and about the influence of policy dialogue, at both national and international levels, on applied animal ethics, cultural stigmatization and the reinforcement of national sentiment.…”

Effects of humic acids from different sources on sodium and micronutrient levels in corn plants by Horuz, Ayhan

“…Overall, HA extracted with N2 /O2 was more effective under unfertilised conditions and wet extracted HA was more effective under fertilised conditions.…”

Embryo culture conditions are significantly improved during uninterrupted incubation: A randomized controlled trial by Alhelou, Yousef, Mat Adenan, Noor Azmi, Ali, Jaffar

“…The development of embryos on days 2, 3 and 5, and the clinical pregnancy and implantation rates were recorded. The fertilisation rate, development of day 2 and clinical pregnancy rates were similar in both treatments but the 8-cell development rate in all age groups combined (p = 0.016), blastocyst development rate (p = 0.0022) and the implantation rate (p = 0.0022) was significantly higher for the uninterrupted culture. …”

Decomposition and nutrient release temporal pattern of oil palm residues by Moradi, Abolfath, Teh, Christopher Boon Sung, Goh, Kah Joo, Mohd Hanif, Ahmad Husni, Ishak, Che Fauziah

Paradigm Shift in the Representation of Women in Anglo-American Paremiology – A Cognitive Semantics Perspective by Kochman-Haładyj Bożena, Kiełtyka Robert

“…Combining the potential of the cross-fertilisation between Cognitive Linguistics and paremiological studies, the study appertains to the sense-threads embedded in the figurative language of proverbs, with the main focus on a cognitive semantic analysis of selected Anglo-American paremias directed towards women and animals. …”

Problématique de la remontée, de la salinité et de la pollution par les nitrates des eaux de la nappe phréatique des Beni-Amir (Tadla, Maroc) by M. FAOUZI, A. LARABI

“…Un diagnostic de l'état de pollution de la nappe par les sels et les nitrates a mis en évidence la dégradation de la qualité des eaux souterraines induite par les pratiques de gestion de l'irrigation et de la fertilisation, au non respect des pratiques du lessivage et du drainage et au recyclage des eaux par pompage.…”
