Neural Correlates of Irritability and Potential Moderating Effects of Inhibitory Control by Mariah DeSerisy, Jacob W. Cohen, Huiyu Yang, Bruce Ramphal, Paige Greenwood, Kahini Mehta, Michael P. Milham, Theodore D. Satterthwaite, David Pagliaccio, Amy E. Margolis

“…Background: Irritability affects up to 20% of youth and is a primary reason for referral to pediatric mental health clinics. Irritability is thought to be associated with disruptions in processing of reward, threat, and cognitive control; however, empirical study of these associations at both the behavioral and neural level have yielded equivocal findings that may be driven by small sample sizes and differences in study design. …”

Effect on OPU/IVEP success of different applications for synchronizing follicular waves prior to superstimulation in holstein heifers by M. F. Çiftçi, Ö. F. Yeşilkaya, S. Ü. Çizmeci, M. Gölbaşı, A. Sarı, D. A. Dinç

“…In addition, the numbers of Grade A oocytes and blastocysts obtained per OPU were greater in the DFR <span class="inline-formula">+</span> P4 group than in the GnRH <span class="inline-formula">+</span> P4 group (<span class="inline-formula"><i>p</i><i>&lt;</i>0.05</span>). As a result, it was thought that synchronization of follicular wave emergence with DFR and hCG in the short synchronization protocols used before superstimulation could increase the success rate of OPU/IVEP programs.…”

Coronil effectively inhibits the interaction of clinically relevant Omicron mutants of SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins with human ACE2 receptor by Acharya Balkrishna, Rishabh Dev, Sandeep Kumar, Anurag Varshney

“…The ELISA-based ACE2 binding inhibition assay was performed to delineate the effect of Coronil on the interaction between human ACE2 receptor and different Omicron variant S-proteins such as BA.4/BA5, XBB, BA.2.75.2, BA4.6/BF.7, BA.2.75.2, BQ.1.1 and a recently found spike protein variant JN.1 which is thought to emerge from BA.2.86. Results: Coronil showed a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the interactions between ACE2 and receptor binding domains (RBD) of all variants of S-proteins evaluated in this study including the recently emerged, highly transmissible variant spike protein JN.1. …”

AEOS: Transport of Metals from Minihalos following Population III Stellar Feedback by Jennifer Mead, Kaley Brauer, Greg L. Bryan, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Alexander P. Ji, John H. Wise, Andrew Emerick, Eric P. Andersson, Anna Frebel, Benoit Côté

“…On the timescale of the simulation (lowest redshift z = 14.3), enrichment is dominated by core-collapse supernovae for all elements, but with a significant contribution from asymptotic giant branch winds to the s -process elements, which are normally thought to only be important at late times. In this work, we establish important mechanisms for early chemical enrichment, which allows us to apply A eos in later epochs to trace the evolution of enrichment during the complete transition from Population III to Population II stars.…”

Notation publications in the context of musical life in Lithuania in the XVI-XVII centuries by Jūratė Trilupaitienė

“…Later Protestant hymnals with notation were published in 1563-4 in Nesvyžius, and in 1580, 1581, 1594, 1598, and 1600 in Vilnius, and in 1614 and 1620 in Lubcza. It is thought that the impetus and backing of Radvila the Black as patron of the first Protestant hymnal led to the publication of his court composers' work outside the borders of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, as was done in Cracow in the middle of the century. …”
