Polymorphism of the trehalase gene (TREH) in native populations of Siberia by B. A. Malyarchuk, M. V. Derenko

“…The maximum frequency of this group of haplotypes is observed in the samples of native populations of Northeast Asia (about 60 %), in the remaining samples of the Siberian populations, its frequency is 30–40 %. Thus, the high frequency of variant rs2276064­A, associated with a low­activity trehalase, explains why Northern aboriginal peoples avoid food containing trehalose. …”

Quantitative Characterization of Full-Spectrum Pore Size and Connectivity for Shale with Different Sedimentary Facies from the Dongying Depression, Bohai Bay Basin, East China by Yushan Du, Na Yin, Qinhong Hu, Mianmo Meng, Xiuchuan Zhu, Jing Chao, Cunfei Ma

“…Pores in these four facies are mainly at nanoscales with predominant pore-throat diameters at less than 50 nm; however, the “high TOC laminated clayey marlstone” facies has the largest peak in the range of >1 μm, possibly because of its interlaminar structure and microcracks. The spontaneous imbibition experiments using two distinct fluids indicated that all of four facies have a much better pore connectivity towards the hydrophilic fluid than these experienced by the hydrophobic fluid.…”
