Whole genome analysis of Hawksbill turtles in Singapore reveals their genetic adaptations to disease and sensory perception by Desai, Archita Sanjay

“…These genes are mainly associated with disease response, olfactory system, cell signalling and cellular transport. This study's findings explain how Hawksbill turtles are adapted to navigate using olfaction, fight against infections, and survive during their unique life-cycles and large-scale migrations. …”

The Battle for ‘Trayvon Martin’: Mapping a Media Controversy Online and Offline by Graeff, Erhardt

“…We consider the attention and link economies among the collected media sources in order to understand who was influential when, finding that broadcast media is still important as an amplifier and gatekeeper, but that it is susceptible to media activists working through participatory or nonprofessional media to co–create the news and influence the framing of major controversies. …”

Electrical oscillations of the UNU-ICTP plasma focus device in the early breakdown phase by Seng, Y. S.

“…In this paper, the oscillations are attributed to the plasma inductance, whose value was calculated by circuit analysis and agreed reasonably well with the computed experimental value. A circuit simulation of the prebreakdown and postbreakdown phases, with the plasma inductance incorporated, reproduced with sufficiency accuracy the electromagnetic particle in cell generated waveforms and consequently confirmed our finding.…”

Environmental risk factors for self-harm during imprisonment: A pilot prospective cohort study by Stephenson, T, Harris, I, Armstrong, C, Fazel, S, Short, R, Blackwood, N

“…Discussion: This exploratory pilot study provides prospective longitudinal data regarding relationships between prison environmental factors and self-harm behaviour. Findings regarding single cell accommodation and frequent cell changes are consistent with the prior evidence base largely derived from case-control study data. …”

Selection against domestication alleles in introduced rabbit populations by Andrade, P, Alves, JM, Pereira, P, Rubin, C-J, Silva, E, Sprehn, CG, Enbody, E, Afonso, S, Faria, R, Zhang, Y, Bonino, N, Duckworth, JA, Garreau, H, Letnic, M, Strive, T, Thulin, C-G, Queney, G, Villafuerte, R, Jiggins, FM, Ferrand, N, Andersson, L, Carneiro, M

“…This limited parallelism is probably explained by extensive standing genetic variation resulting from domestication together with the complex mixed ancestry of introduced populations. Our findings shed light on the selective and molecular mechanisms that enable domestic animals to re-adapt to the wild and provide important insights for the mitigation and management of invasive populations.…”
