Characterizing the gut (Gallus gallus) microbiota following the consumption of an iron biofortified Rwandan cream seeded carioca (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) bean-based diet. by Spenser Reed, Hadar Neuman, Raymond P Glahn, Omry Koren, Elad Tako

“…Additionally, depletion of key bacterial pathways responsible for bacterial viability and Fe uptake suggest that improvements in Fe bioavailability, in addition to increases in Fe-polyphenol and Fe-phytate complexes due to biofortification, led to decreased concentrations of cecal Fe available for bacterial utilization. Our findings demonstrate that Fe biofortification may improve Fe status without negatively altering the structure and function of the gut microbiota, as is observed with other nutritional methods of Fe supplementation. …”

An expressivist response to the infinite regress of interpretation argument against legal interpretivism by Michał Wieczorkowski

“…To counter this argument, the paper employs the division of linguistic labour thesis, which holds that the meaning of interpretive rules depends on what legal experts mean by them. Additionally, it utilizes a sceptical solution to the rule-following problem, suggesting that the function of meaning ascriptions is expressive rather than descriptive, which implies that meaning ascriptions do not require any foundational justifiers. …”

Routing algorithm for MPLS traffic engineering in satellite network by XIAO Fu1, SUN Li-juan1, YE Xiao-guo1, WANG Ru-chuan1

“…With regard to long transmission delay and dynamic topology characters in satellite network,a novel routing algorithm was proposed in multi-protocol label switching satellite network.The algorithm uses the prior knowledge of source-destination pairs,and link propagation delay is also considered.Based on time-varying topology snapshot of satellite network,initial link weight is defined as function of transmission delay and residual bandwidth.Both current request and future requests are in account when calculate critical degree.Thus traffic engineering is realized by link weight dynamic adjustment and critical links extension loaded,which guarantee resource utilized better.Simulation results demonstrate the algorithm performs better in terms of request reject ratio,total available flow,average hop and transmission delay of least interference paths.…”
