Better late than never: sleep still supports memory consolidation after prolonged periods of wakefulness by Petzka, M, Zika, O, Staresina, BP, Cairney, SA

“…Sleep relative to wakefulness improved retention of item and associative memories to similar extents irrespective of whether sleep occurred soon after learning or following a prolonged waking interval. Our findings highlight the far-reaching influences of sleep on memory that can arise even after substantial periods of wakefulness.…”

Local rainfall is more likely than distant thunderstorms to affect movement behaviour in Northern Kenyan elephants by Mulder, T, Mortimer, B, Ferwerda, J, Vollrath, F

“…While some abrupt movement changes occurred ahead of local wet periods, they were only particularly frequent shortly following the onset of wet periods. These findings do not concur with reports of Namibian elephants that generally changed their movement behaviour preceding local rainfall, and the additional exploration of individual behaviours in the present study likewise did not provide compelling evidence of a generic reliance on remote thunder cues by Northern-Kenyan elephants. …”

Grass fields play a greater role in maintaining avian biodiversity in urban landscapes than roadsides by Bichi, H. M., Azhar, Badrul, Yahya, Muhammad Syafiq, Hadi, Muhamad Amir, Ogunjinmi, A. A., Kamarudin, Norizah, Norhisham, Ahmad R.

“…Omnivores were the most abundant guild, while carnivores were the least abundant. These findings contribute to our understanding of avian biodiversity dynamics in urban landscapes and emphasize the importance of managing habitats such as roadsides and grass fields to support thriving bird populations in urban environments.…”

The space-times of post-capitalist transformation: More-than-human affects in French and Catalan eco-communities by Schramm, E

“…I have worked to address five gaps in the literature on eco-communities, namely, a lack of attention to embodiment and affect and to everyday material practices, their more-than-human constitution, their contribution to economic transformations, and finally, their endurance over time. …”

Event-driven spiking neural networks using asynchronous-logic network-on-chip routers in field programmable gate array (FPGA) by Wu, Si

“…Compared with the second-generation neural network, SNN uses spikes to process information. The neuronal units in SNNs are only active when they receive or emit spikes, so it is event-driven, thus making it energy-efficient. …”

Dok3 restrains neutrophil production of calprotectin during TLR4 sensing of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein by Loh, Jia Tong, Teo, Joey Kay Hui, Lam, Kong-Peng

“…In this study, we showed that Dok3 adaptor restrains calprotectin production by neutrophils in response to SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein engagement of TLR4. Dok3 recruits SHP-2 to mediate the de-phosphorylation of MyD88 at Y257, thereby attenuating downstream JAK2-STAT3 signaling and calprotectin production. …”
