Beyond nutritional immunity: immune-stressing challenges basic paradigms of immunometabolism and immunology by Edmund K. LeGrand

“…While nutritional immunity emphasizes denying pathogens micronutrients, immune-stressing extends the concept to restricting all resources, especially glucose and oxygen, coupled with the generation of noxious metabolic products such as lactic acid, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and heat to further harm or stress the pathogens. At present much of the field of immunometabolism centers on how nutrition and metabolism regulate immune function, a central feature being the inefficient use of glucose via aerobic glycolysis (with much lactate/lactic acid production) by effector immune cells. …”

Experimental Evaluation Study on High Temperature Tolerance Foam for Profile Control of Steam Huff-n-Puff by Yang Liu, Xiao Yuan, Yu Bao

“…In the process of steam huff and puff to develop heavy oil reservoirs, steam channeling is the main factor that restricts the development effect, which causes that the swept area of steam is limited and unable to heat heavy oil adequately. It is important to find an economical and efficient method to prevent steam channeling from happening at steam huff and puff production; thus, a DF-2 high temperature tolerance foam system is proposed to assist steam huff and puff production in this paper. …”

Limited impacts of climatic conditions on commercial oil palm yields in Malaysian plantations by Susannah Fleiss, Colin J. McClean, Henry King, Jane K. Hill

“…We also found positive impacts of rainfall during key stages of fruit development (infloresence abortion and sex determination: Spearman’s Rho 0.06 and 0.08 respectively, for rainfall anomalies), suggesting minor effects of water-limitation on yield; and a negative impact of maximum temperature during the month of harvest (Spearman’s Rho – 0.14 for temperature anomalies), suggesting possible heat stress impacts on plantation workers. Conclusions Our findings imply a relatively minor role of climate in determining yield, and potentially substantial yield gaps in some commercial plantations in Malaysia (possibly up to ~ 50%). …”
