A 22 Billion M⊙ Black Hole in Holmberg 15A with Keck KCWI Spectroscopy and Triaxial Orbit Modeling by Emily R. Liepold, Chung-Pei Ma, Jonelle L. Walsh

“…The velocity field exhibits a low-amplitude (∼20 km s ^−1 ) rotation along a kinematic axis that is prominently misaligned from the photometric major axis, a strong indicator that H15A is triaxially shaped with unequal lengths for the three principal axes. Using 2500 observed kinematic constraints, we perform extensive calculations of stellar orbits with the triaxial Schwarzschild code, TriOS, and search over ∼40,000 galaxy models to simultaneously determine the mass and intrinsic 3D shape parameters of H15A. …”

Preliminary Exploration of Natural Polyphenols and/or Herbal Mix Replacing Sodium Nitrate to Improve the Storage Quality of Pork Sausage by Angeliki-Niki Kaloudi, Agori Karageorgou, Michael Goliomytis, Panagiotis Simitzis

“…It was illustrated that the oxidative stability of sausages was ameliorated as a consequence of POL or/and NM addition, since the values of malondialdehyde (MDA) were significantly decreased compared to the control (<i>p</i> < 0.001) at months 1, 2 and 3, and the values were similar to those observed in the SN group that served as a positive control. …”

Accumulation and Transport of Cd, Pb, As, and Cr in Different Maize Varieties in Southwest China by Qi Liu, Sheng Wang, Jijiang Zhou, Li Bao, Wenbing Zhou, Naiming Zhang

“…A synchronous transport mechanism was observed for As and other HMs in different parts. The accumulation of HMs in maize was primarily derived from human activities such as the extraction, storage, and smelting of non-ferrous metals, while the HMs in soil parent material and weathering products played a secondary role. …”

Therapeutic Approaches in Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Inflammation, and Autophagy in Uremic Cachexia: Role of Aerobic Exercise by Yumei Zhang, Yuqing Liu, Xiao Bi, Chun Hu, Feng Ding, Wei Ding

“…In addition, aerobic exercise downregulated the overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines and NLRP3 inflammasome components and balanced the mitochondrial biogenesis and autophagy-lysosomal system. Thus, we observed that aerobic exercise may ameliorate CKD-induced muscle wasting by improving mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and autophagy-lysosomal system in uremic cachexia.…”

Drivers of methane-cycling archaeal abundances, community structure, and catabolic pathways in continental margin sediments by Longhui Deng, Longhui Deng, Damian Bölsterli, Clemens Glombitza, Bo Barker Jørgensen, Hans Røy, Mark Alexander Lever, Mark Alexander Lever

“…Focusing on four continental margin sites of the North Sea-Baltic Sea transition, we here investigate the in situ drivers of methane-cycling archaeal community structure and metabolism based on geochemical and stable carbon-isotopic gradients, functional gene (mcrA) copy numbers and phylogenetic compositions, and thermodynamic calculations. We observe major changes in community structure that largely follow vertical gradients in sulfate concentrations and lateral gradients in organic carbon reactivity and content. …”
