Encapsulation of host-derived probiotics using functional polysaccharides by Wong, Liqi

“…In the future, in vivo feeding trials will be conducted for Jade Perch to evaluate the persistence of the delivered bacteria in the gut, pathogen resistance, and other performances of encapsulated probiotics, to achieve the manipulation of the host gut microbiota and increase disease resistance.…”

Nuclei sorting-based genome-wide CRISPR screens to identify novel regulators of hepatic insulin signalling by Martin Perez, E

“…By modulating rates of hepatic glucose output and glucose uptake into skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, it is at the core of blood glucose homeostasis, ensuring normoglycaemia during fasting and feeding. The liver is one of the three major tissues that acts in sustaining appropriate blood glucose levels. …”

Exposure to Pb-halide perovskite nanoparticles can deliver bioavailable Pb but does not alter endogenous gut microbiota in zebrafish by Patsiou, Danae, del Rio-Cubilledo, Cristina, Catarino, Ana Isabel, Summers, Stephen, Afiq Mohd Fahmi, Boyle, David, Fernandes, Teresa F., Henry, Theodore B.

“…Induction of mt2 and reduction of ala-d expression levels in liver tissues showed Pb bioavailability after 2-d and 4-d dietary exposure to perovskite-spiked feeds. Changes in gut microbiota of adult zebrafish were detected after 14-d exposure to Pb-spiked food, but no changes were detected from perovskite-NP spiked food. …”

Three essays on corporate finance by Fu, Kangkang

“…Moreover, from the principal customers’ perspective, a higher level of environmental risk lowers a supplier firm’s probability of being selected relative to its industry peers by its potential customer. Conditional on an ongoing relationship with principal customers, supplier firms with high environmental risk have lower sales to principal customers and shorter relationship durations. …”

Health economic aspects of childhood excess weight by Onyimadu, O

“…My analyses of CPRD-HES data revealed that children living with overweight and obesity incurred significantly higher direct healthcare costs than their peers with a healthy weight. In comparison to children with healthy weight, those living with overweight generated additional costs of £133.93 and £66.32, on average, in the year preceding and following a BMI measurement, respectively, while children with obesity incurred additional costs of £115.47 and £154.51, on average, during the same periods. …”

Multi-colony coral skeletal Ba/Ca from Singapore’s turbid urban reefs : relationship with contemporaneous in-situ seawater parameters by Tanzil, Jani Thuaibah Isa, Goodkin, Nathalie Fairbank, Sin, T. M., Chen, Mengli, Fabbro, Gareth Nicholas, Boyle, E. A., Lee, A. C., Toh, K. B.

“…We found a positive relationship between Ba/Cacoral and organic suspended solids for 4 of the 6 colonies analysed that suggests biological mechanisms such as feeding could be driving skeletal Ba incorporation. …”

Rethinking speech sound disorder (SSD) in non-syndromic cleft lip and palate: the importance of recognizing phonological and language difficulties by van Eeden, S, McKean, C, Stringer, H

“…There is growing evidence of concomitant language difficulties in children with CP ± L and of a higher prevalence of developmental speech errors in children compared with non-CP ± L peers. The impact of underlying phonological and language skills on speech production in children with CP ± L is poorly understood. …”

Compositionally graded alloys fabricated using the laser powder bed fusion technique by Wei, Siyuan

“…With no need to alter the mechanical setup of the LPBF machine or its powder feeding system, this strategy can efficiently create smooth compositional gradient without introducing significant chemical segregations. 7.6 wt.% Ni was proved to be the lower threshold for fabricating nearly full-density Cu-Ni binary alloy. …”
