Dairy Mountains with High Production Potential Facing the End of the Milk Quota Regime: A Comparative Analysis of the Châtaigneraie Cantalienne, Livradois-Forez, Monts du Lyonnais... by Nadège Garambois, Jean-Noël Depeyrot, Jonathan Dubrulle, Lucie Canon

“…On the most advantaged dairy farms (in terms of location, surface area and capital), physical labour productivity has continued to increase (higher milk yields, robotisation of milking). For farms with more grassland, which are often smaller, conversion to organic farming or “hay milk” and the search for more economical functioning have been an effective way of maintain, much more so than the PDOs present in these regions, whose specifications are not very demanding and offer only a meagre price differential.…”

Investigation of Wall Effect Simulation Methods in Saline Density Currents by Somayyeh Mohammadiyan Lanbaran, Afshin Eghbalzadeh

“…Overall, based on the obtained results, it can be recommended that when using coarser computational grids, the standard wall function approach is more appropriate. This recommendation is supported by the ability to position the first grid point at a dimensionless wall distance "y" ^"+" of approximately 11.225, eliminating the need for highly refined meshing near the wall. …”

Nitrogen allocation among leaves and roots mediates the interaction between plant life history trade-off and density dependence by Junkang Cheng, Shixiao Yu

“…We found a trade-off between the plant relative growth rate and conspecific density dependence; fast-growing species showed higher mortality with conspecific neighbors but tended to allocate more nitrogen to leaves rather than roots.DiscussionOur study revealed interspecific variation in nutrient allocation among leaves and roots as well as their relationship with functional traits and the plant life history strategy.…”

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation may promote the reversion of mild cognitive impairment to normal cognition by Zhiwei Guo, Zhiwei Guo, Yi Jiang, Jiayuan He, Ning Jiang

“…We assessed differences in baseline cognitive performance, functional connectivity, and changes of cognitive functions after rTMS between MCI-R and MCI-M to identify possible predictors of reversion of MCI and explore the neural modulation mechanisms.ResultsMCI-M exhibited more severe cognitive impairments across more domains, particularly in language function (p < 0.05). …”

Neuroanatomical correlates of language impairment in non-fluent variant of primary progressive aphasia by Diliara R. Akhmadullina, Rodion N. Konovalov, Yulia A. Shpilyukova, Kseniya V. Nevzorova, Ekaterina Yu. Fedotova, Sergey N. Illarioshkin

“…Apart from that, neuroanatomical foundations were different for each of the core nfvPPA language domains, including superior parietal lobule involvement in fluency, temporoparietal areas in receptive agrammatisms and supplemental motor area in apraxia of speech. Functional correlations were even more diverse. In general, connectivity decrease between temporoparietal structures was more typical for expressive and receptive agrammatisms, single word comprehension and naming, while apraxia of speech, fluency and repetition showed connectivity disruption mainly among the frontoparietal region and subcortical structures. …”
