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. …”

Complexity of immunobiology of tumor necrosis factor and novel anti-TNF therapy by S. А. Nedospasov

“…Systemic anti-cytokine therapy is known to be accompanied by undesirable side effects, which can hypothetically be explained by the neutralization of these protective functions. Thus, we developed prototypes of TNF blockers which limit the bioavailability of this cytokine only from its main “pathogenic” source – myeloid cells. …”

Vocal constraints on song amplitude in star finches Bathilda ruficauda by Hana Goto, Masayo Soma, Ayumi Mizuno, Henrik Brumm

“…This suggests that the frequency-amplitude correlation is a more general phenomenon in bird vocalisations, independent of the overall source amplitude of a species. While the evolution of birdsong is often viewed as constrained by neural costs and body size, or selective pressures from predators and social aggression, our results emphasise the importance of understanding phonetic features as well. …”

Numerical modeling of complex radiative heat transfer by N. I. Moskalenko, L. V. Rodionov, M. S. Khamidullina, I. A. Afanasyev

“…The application of numerical simulation of the fine structure of the absorption and emission in the complex problems of radiative heat transfer is consider when the structural characteristics of the environment and the boundary conditions are different strong inhomogeneities in temperature, chemical composition and distribution of the radiation sources. The very nature of radiative heat transfer and temperature variation trends over time are determined by the acute effects of selection of the spectra and their modeling require knowledge of spectral line parameters: intensity, half-width position of the centers, contours. …”

High-Voltage CVT Fault Diagnosis Based on Effective Data Recognition and Multi-dimensional Information Fusion by Huishan ZHANG

“…In view of the poor identification of the effective data in online monitoring of high-voltage capacitor voltage transformer (CVT), this paper proposes a method for effective data identification based on the analysis of data correlation coefficients, with utilization of the data characteristics that multiple online monitoring data sources exhibit linear correlation. To address the prevalent problem in current high-voltage CVT fault diagnosis, such as limited information sources, poor accuracy, and significant interference in partial discharge devices leading to compromised fault signal detection and accuracy, a fault diagnosis method based on multi-dimensional information fusion is proposed. …”
