Investigations on the lack of acquired immunity by the Javanese carp, Puntius gonionotus (Bleeker), against the crustacean parasite, Lernaea minuta (Kuang) by Kularatne, M., Subasinghe, R.P., Shariff, M.

“…Histopathological observations confirmed that L. minuta causes mild inflammation and subsequent pathology in P. gonionotus, compared to that of L. cyprinacea, mainly due to its shallow penetration. The apparent lack of immunocompetence in P. gonionotus against L. minuta was attributed to the less potent pathology caused by the parasite on its host. © 1994 Academic Press. …”

We do not select, nor are we choosy: reproductive biology of Strepsiptera (Insecta) by Kathirithamby, J, Hrabar, M, Delgado, JA, Collantes, F, Dötterl, S, Windsor, D, Gries, G

“…Inferring from similarity between aedeagi of males either between congeners, heterogeners, or between species within the same taxonomic family, the same of which is true of the cephalothoraces of females, we predict that male–female conflict and a co-evolutionary morphological arms race between sexes is not likely to exist in most species of Strepsiptera. We then review the non-genitalic structures that play a role during sexual communication, and present details of copulatory behaviour. …”

Do we need economic inequality? by Dorling, D

“…What if, he asks, widespread economic inequality is actually just a passing phase, a feature of the capitalist transition from a settled rural way of life to our next highly urban steady-state? Is it really likely that we face a Blade Runner-style dystopian future divided between a tiny elite and an impoverished mass? …”

Descriptor learning for efficient retrieval by Philbin, J, Isard, M, Sivic, J, Zisserman, A

“…This paper aims to reduce these quantization errors at source, by learning a projection from descriptor space to a new Euclidean space in which standard clustering techniques are more likely to assign matching descriptors to the same cluster, and non-matching descriptors to different clusters.…”

The zinc-finger transcription factor Blimp1/Prdm1 is required for uterine remodelling and repair in the mouse by Xypolita, M, Goolam, M, Bikoff, EK, Robertson, EJ, Mould, AW

“…RNA-seq together with immunostaining experiments strongly suggest that the failure to up-regulate expression of the matrix metalloprotease Mmp10 in combination with insufficient suppression of BMP signalling, likely explain Blimp1-dependent phenotypic changes. …”

Compute North vs. Compute South: the uneven possibilities of compute-based AI governance around the globe by Lehdonvirta, V, Wú, B, Hawkins, Z

“…In this governance model, states that host AI compute capacity within their territorial jurisdictions are likely to be better placed to impose their rules on AI systems than states that do not. …”

Developing a framework for tracking antimicrobial resistance gene movement in a persistent environmental reservoir by Mathers, AJ, Li, TJX, He, Q, Narendra, S, Stoesser, N, Eyre, DW, Walker, AS, Barry, KE, Castañeda-Barba, S, Huang, FW, Parikh, H, Kotay, S, Crook, DW, Reidys, C

“…The Composite Sample Complex accounts for the co-occurrence of both plasmids and chromosomes within an isolate, and highlights likely gene donors and recipients. From the validated model, we demonstrate frequent transposition events of blaKPC from plasmids to other plasmids, as well as integration into the bacterial chromosome within specific drains. …”

Highlighting the role of biota in feedback loops from tundra ecosystems to the atmosphere by Schmidt, NM, Barrio, IC, Kristensen, JA, López-Blanco, E, van Beest, FM

“…However, biota may still play important roles in modulating ecosystem feedback loops, and by including these dynamics into ecosystem models, magnitude, accuracy and credibility of model projections are likely to improve.…”
