Institutions and agricultural transformation: a study of induced innovation in the Philippine rice sector by Montesclaros, Jose Ma. Luis P.

“…The 2019 Rice Tariffication Law is highlighted as a key “path-breaking” event which contributed to addressing not only the rice trade protectionism problem but also in part the farmers’ capitalisation problems. These findings imply the need for more nuanced approaches in promoting agricultural transformation which consider the roles of broader macroeconomic policies and their lingering impacts, to more effectively “securitise” the food sector.…”

Structural study of ribosome : 1) structural basis of EF-G in translocation. 2) molecular mechanism of ribosome-dependent toxin YoeB in mRNA cleavage by Chen, Yun

“…The positioning of the catalytic His87 into the active site is coupled to the hydrophobic-gate opening and involves the ribosomal 23S rRNA sarcin-ricin loop as well as domain III of EF-G. These findings provide a structural basis for the GTPase activation of EF-G, based on which, a substrate-promoted mechanism is proposed. …”

The effects of exercise, heat-induced hypo-hydration and rehydration on blood–brain-barrier permeability, corticospinal and peripheral excitability by Uddin, N, Scott, J, Nixon, J, Patterson, SD, Kidgell, D, Pearce, AJ, Waldron, M, Tallent, J

“…Serum UCH-L1 increased across time for all conditions (p &lt; 0.001) but was not significantly different between conditions. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate an increase in corticospinal inhibition after exercise with fluid ingestion, but a decrease in corticospinal excitability after heat-induced hypo-hydration. …”

Characterization of liposome-encapsulated tylosin, in vitro Cytotoxicity and its antibacterial activitiy against Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis isolated from goats by Saddiqi, Mohammad Ehsan

“…The release behaviour of tylosin from the conventional liposomes is based on initial fast release followed by sustained and slow-released as compared to free tylosin. Cytotoxicity findings revealed higher cell viability (above 70%) for liposomal tylosin and below 70% for free tylosin at a high concentration of 1024 μg/mL. …”

Cytotoxicity assessment of α helix Antarctic yeast oriented antifreeze peptide (Afp1m) on M. dunni (Clone III8C) cells by Khan, Muhammad Shuaib, Abdul Rahman, Mohd Basyaruddin, Abu Bakar, Mohd Zuki, Noordin, Mohammed Mustapha, Ullah, Shakeeb, Abdul Abubakar, Adamu, Rehman, Saifur, Saddiqua, Aisha, Mohammad Yusof, Loqman

“…Development was observed, albeit more slowly than in the positive control and treated with lesser concentrations. The findings of this work indicate that Afp1m exhibits cryoprotective properties without inducing toxicity when used for the cryopreservation of M. dunni (Clone III8C) cells.…”

The Contours of the Cloud: Dissecting the Real Estate Investment Decisions of Data Center Operators by Fawcett, Robert Logan

“…The hedonic model examines the impact of specific site attributes, such as proximity to power infrastructure and fiber, on the scale of data center facilities in megawatts. The findings suggest that colocation data centers prioritize connectivity, electrical infrastructure, and urban proximity, while the location of hyperscale facilities is more variable and less predictable. …”
