A genome-wide metabolic QTL analysis in Europeans implicates two loci shaped by recent positive selection. by George Nicholson, Mattias Rantalainen, Jia V Li, Anthony D Maher, Daniel Malmodin, Kourosh R Ahmadi, Johan H Faber, Amy Barrett, Josine L Min, N William Rayner, Henrik Toft, Maria Krestyaninova, Juris Viksna, Sudeshna Guha Neogi, Marc-Emmanuel Dumas, Ugis Sarkans, MolPAGE Consortium, Peter Donnelly, Thomas Illig, Jerzy Adamski, Karsten Suhre, Maxine Allen, Krina T Zondervan, Tim D Spector, Jeremy K Nicholson, John C Lindon, Dorrit Baunsgaard, Elaine Holmes, Mark I McCarthy, Chris C Holmes

“…Two of the three hit regions lie within haplotype blocks (at 2p13.1 and 10q24.2) that carry the genetic signature of strong, recent, positive selection in European populations. Genes NAT8 and PYROXD2, both with relatively uncharacterized functional roles, are good candidates for mediating the corresponding mQTL associations. …”

Source-load coordinated optimal scheduling strategy considering solar thermal biomass utilization under integrated demand response incentives by ZHANG Yewei, WEN Zhong, WANG Can, NI Zhi, YAN Wenwen, HU Chuanbao

“…Secondly, on the load side, both price-based and substitution-based demand responses are introduced to improve the low-carbon performance of the IES through source-load coordinated optimization. Then, a liquid storage carbon capture system and a tiered carbon tax mechanism are introduced in the IES to enhance the system's low-carbon economic benefits, establishing an objective function to maximize the system's total revenue. …”

Enterococcus faecalis strains derived from wild bird provide protection against Clostridium perfringens challenge in locally-sourced broilers by Gerui Zhang, Ainul Zahra, Tianrui Yang, Qiyu Guo, Yan Sun, Yuhang Zhang, Yupeng Gao, Yuxi Zhang, Mingyue Wang, Jingshuo Gong, Haibin Huang, Zhannan Wang, Chunfeng Wang, Yanlong Jiang

“…IntroductionNecrotic enteritis (NE), caused by Clostridium perfringens, has seen a surge in chicken populations recently due to the ban on antibiotic growth promoters in feed.MethodsIn this research, screening and identification of probiotics with strong antagonistic ability against C. perfringens from 34 wild bird fecal isolates, followed by analysis of probiotic characteristics and carbon source metabolic activity. Strains exhibiting favorable antagonistic activity against C. perfringens were subsequently employed in vivo study to evaluate their protective efficacy against C. perfringens challenge in locally-sourced broilers.ResultsThe results showed that Enterococcus faecalis strains YL-EF25 and YL-EF32 were selected based on their ability to inhibit the growth and biofilm formation of C. perfringens. …”

cogsworth: A Gala of COSMIC Proportions Combining Binary Stellar Evolution and Galactic Dynamics by Tom Wagg, Katelyn Breivik, Mathieu Renzo, Adrian M. Price-Whelan

“…Alternatively, several analytic models are available for galactic potentials and star formation histories. cogsworth can also transform the intrinsic simulated population into an observed population using dust maps, bolometric correction functions, and survey selection functions. We provide a detailed explanation of the functionality of cogsworth and demonstrate its capabilities through a series of use cases: (1) we predict the spatial distribution of compact objects and runaways in both dwarf and Milky Way–like galaxies; (2) using a star cluster from a hydrodynamical simulation, we show how supernovae can change the orbits of stars in several ways; and (3) we predict the separation of disrupted binary stellar companions on the sky and create a synthetic Gaia color–magnitude diagram. …”
