Spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors of milk tea stores in Wuhan based on sDNA and OPGD models. by Wentao Yang, Xinrui Zhan, Dinghui Liu, Huade Zhu

“…We then examined the influencing factors by combining spatial design network analysis, optimal parameters-based geographical detection, and location-based service big data. Our results revealed the following: (1) The spatial distribution of stores was concentrated in areas with high closeness and betweenness centrality, forming a multi-core "northwest-southeast" distribution pattern with significant spatial positive correlation. (2) The stores' spatial pattern was influenced by the road network betweenness and the presence of office buildings, shopping malls, shopping centers, and tourism resources. …”

Potential physiological mechanisms behind variation in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to biosynthesize EPA and DHA when reared on plant oil replacement feeds by Ken Overturf, Jason Abernathy, Dietmar Kültz, Jacob Bledsoe, Shawn Narum, Thomas Welker

“…The omega-3 fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5n-3), are of primary concern as they provide significant health benefits such as reducing inflammation and improving heart and health function. However, the DHA; 22:6n-3 and EPA; 20:5n-3 available for aquaculture feeds is primarily provided by fish oil which is already limited in availability and expensive, and dietary lipids are consistently being replaced with oil sourced from plants. …”
