How Implicit Sequence Learning and Explicit Sequence Knowledge Are Expressed in a Serial Response Time Task by Marius Barth, Christoph Stahl, Hilde Haider

“…To separate the processes involved in expressing implicit versus explicit knowledge, we manipulated explicit sequence knowledge independently of the opportunity to express such knowledge, and analyzed the resulting performance data with a drift-diffusion model to disentangle the contributions of these sub-processes. …”

Interactive Effect of Residue Quality and Agroecologies Modulate Soil C- and N-Cycling Enzyme Activities, Microbial Gene Abundance, and Metabolic Quotient by Birhanu Agumas, Getachew Agegnehu, Tesfaye Feyisa

“…Leucine-aminopeptidases and TLP were identified as rate-limiting factors for protein and peptide decomposition, while β-xylosidase controlled hemicellulose degradation. In summary, this study provides insights into the intricate relationships between agroecology, residue quality, enzymatic activities, and microbial communities, shedding light on key processes governing soil ecological functions.…”

Transcriptional analysis of murine biliary atresia identifies macrophage heterogeneity and subset-specific macrophage functions by Kyle D. Gromer, Shang-Yang Chen, Gaurav Gadhvi, Liang Feng, Colin Shearn, Swati Antala, Swati Antala, Joshua B. Wechsler, Carla M. Cuda, Cara L. Mack, Ronald J. Sokol, William J. Janssen, Richard M. Green, Harris Perlman, Deborah R. Winter, Sarah A. Taylor, Sarah A. Taylor

“…We aimed to distinguish the transcriptional profiles and roles of defined macrophage subset(s) in murine BA.MethodsWe used multiparameter flow cytometry and RNA-sequencing analysis to profile recruited CD11bhiCD64+ hepatic macrophages by cell surface expression of MHCII and Ly6c in the Rhesus rotavirus (RRV)-induced murine model of BA versus saline controls. Modulation of macrophage numbers via intra-peritoneal injections of clodronate-loaded liposomes was performed to determine the association between macrophage numbers and histologic injury (Ishak score).ResultsLy6c+ macrophages demonstrated the greatest increase in numbers and percent of total macrophages in murine BA versus saline controls whereas MHCII+ macrophages decreased. …”

Postural responses to specific types of long-term memory during visually induced roll self-motion. by Maëlle Tixier, Stéphane Rousset, Pierre-Alain Barraud, Corinne Cian

“…A large body of research has shown that visually induced self-motion (vection) and cognitive processing may interfere with each other. The aim of this study was to assess the interactive effects of a visual motion inducing vection (uniform motion in roll) versus a visual motion without vection (non-uniform motion) and long-term memory processing using the characteristics of standing posture (quiet stance). …”

Sensitivity Analysis of the Thermal Structure Within Subduction Zones Using Reduced‐Order Modeling by Gabrielle M. Hobson, Dave A. May

We find that temperature, and by extension the potential rupture extent, is most sensitive to variability in parameters that describe shear heating on the slab interface, followed by parameters controlling the thermal structure of the incoming lithosphere and coupling between the slab and the mantle. …”
