Statement complementing the EFSA Scientific Opinion on the assessment of genetically modified oilseed rape MS11 for food and feed uses, import and processing, under Regulation (EC)... by EFSA Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO), Ewen Mullins, Jean‐Louis Bresson, Tamas Dalmay, Ian Crawford Dewhurst, Michelle M Epstein, Leslie George Firbank, Philippe Guerche, Jan Hejatko, Hanspeter Naegeli, Francisco Javier Moreno, Fabien Nogué, Nils Rostoks, Jose Juan Sánchez Serrano, Giovanni Savoini, Eve Veromann, Fabio Veronesi, Andrea Gennaro, Franco Maria Neri

“…Abstract In a previous scientific opinion on application EFSA‐GMO‐BE‐2016‐138, the EFSA Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO Panel) could not conclude on the comparative analysis and on the food/feed safety assessment of genetically modified (GM) oilseed rape (OSR) MS11 because of the lack of an appropriate compositional data set. Following a request from the European Commission, the GMO Panel assessed additional information related to OSR MS11 to complement the original scientific opinion. …”

Compositional Lotka-Volterra describes microbial dynamics in the simplex. by Tyler A Joseph, Liat Shenhav, Joao B Xavier, Eran Halperin, Itsik Pe'er

“…We derive a new nonlinear dynamical system for microbial dynamics, termed "compositional" Lotka-Volterra (cLV), unifying approaches using generalized Lotka-Volterra (gLV) equations from community ecology and compositional data analysis. On three real datasets, we demonstrate that cLV recapitulates interactions between relative abundances implied by gLV. …”

Chemical interactions in Ti doped MgB2 superconducting bulk samples and wires by Haigh, S, Kovac, P, Prikhna, T, Savchuk, Y, Kilburn, MR, Salter, C, Hutchison, J, Grovenor, C

“…X-ray diffraction data, TEM and elemental mapping in the NanoSIMS confirmed the surprising suggestion that samples synthesized at high pressure from Mg and B with Ti additions contain a titanium hydride. These new compositional data support the idea that reactive metal additions are extremely beneficial in MgB2 wires and bulk materials because they preferentially adsorb deleterious impurities from the superconducting matrix. © 2005 IOP Publishing Ltd.…”

Meta-analysis of microbiome association networks reveal patterns of dysbiosis in diseased microbiomes by Tony J. Lam, Yuzhen Ye

Got Mylk? The Emerging Role of Australian Plant-Based Milk Alternatives as A Cow’s Milk Substitute by Yianna Y. Zhang, Jaimee Hughes, Sara Grafenauer

“…The aim of this study was to conduct a cross-sectional survey of plant-based milk alternatives available in major Australian supermarkets and selected niche food retailers from November 2019 to January 2020 and assess two dietary scenarios (adolescents and older women) where dairy serves were substituted for plant-based alternatives against Australian Estimated Average Requirements (EAR). We collected compositional data from nutrition panels in juxtaposition with derivatives from the Australian Food Composition database, with a total of 115 products, including tree nuts and seeds (<i>n</i> = 48), legumes (<i>n</i> = 27), coconut (<i>n</i> = 10), grains (<i>n</i> = 19) and mixed sources (<i>n</i> = 10). …”
