Mechanical problem solving by plush-crested jays: are tools special after all? by Lois-Milevicich, J, Rat-Fischer, L, de la Colina, MA, Gómez, RO, Reboreda, JC, Kacelnik, A

“…Tool use is taxonomically associated with high behavioural flexibility and innovativeness, and its prevalence is greater in primates and some bird species. This association, however, is not known to be causally determinant of tool-related competence since flexibility and innovativeness are often observed in the absence of tool use and vice versa. …”

Effects of condensed tannin fractions from Leucaena leucocephala (LAM.) De wit hybrid on methane mitigation, rumen fermentation and diversity of methanogens, protozoa and bacteria... by Mookiah, Saminathan

“…The bacterial population and fermentation activities were also influenced by CT fractions, but the changes had no adverse effect on DM degradability. The strong binding affinity of higher MWs CTs to proteins may be beneficial in reducing degradation of feed protein by rumen microbes, thus enhancing bypass protein in ruminants. …”

Interpretable Computational Modeling of pre-mRNA Splicing for Multiple Eukaryotic Species by McCue, Kayla M.

“…A notable exception was that SRE scores learned in mammals performed fairly well in non-mammals, but not vice versa, which may reflect the evolution of mammalian-specific splicing regulation alongside the lengthening of introns. …”

Alleviation of off-target effects from vector-encoded shRNAs via codelivered RNA decoys by Mockenhaupt, Stefan, Grosse, Stefanie, Rupp, Daniel, Bartenschlager, Ralf, Grimm, Dirk

“…Exogenous RNAi triggers such as shRNAs ideally exert their activities exclusively via the antisense strand that binds and silences designated target mRNAs. However, in principle, the sense strand also possesses silencing capacity that may contribute to adverse RNAi side effects including off-target gene regulation. …”

Exploring the regulation of myofilament function in the heart using experimental and computational approaches by Folkmanaite, M

“…Dysregulation of cAMP-dependent, PKA-mediated phosphorylation of myofilament proteins, such as troponin I (TNI) and myosin binding protein C (MYBPC), contributes to cardiac pathologies like heart failure. …”

Essays on social responsibility in the marketplace : an experimental economic analysis by Wang, Yan
