Population genomic analysis identifies the complex structural variation at the fibromelanosis (FM) locus in chicken by Cheng Ma, Leif Andersson

“…Our results elucidate the complex arrangement of the duplications and inversions at the FM locus based on the large-scale genomic survey, population level genotyping, and linkage disequilibrium analysis, providing conclusive support for one specific configuration of the two large duplications, resolving a controversy that has been unresolved for more than a decade. Our results show that the birth of this complex structural variant must have involved an interchromosomal rearrangement creating fixed heterozygosity due to sequence differences between the two copies of the 127.4 kb duplication. …”

Study on Embedded Sacrificial Anode Anti-Corrosion Technology for Existing Reinforced Concrete Structures by YANG Weilai, ZHAO Rongxin, CHEN Ning, WU Huayong, XU Ning

“…In order to address the poor applicability of existing embedded sacrificial anodes in existing reinforced concrete structures，a new type of embedded sacrificial anode applicable to existing reinforced concrete structures was developed.Indoor simulation tests were conducted to investigate the changes in steel reinforcement potential，current，and current density，as well as the corrosion product diffusion behavior of the embedded sacrificial anode in simulated concrete pore solution and in concrete components subjected to chloride salt attack.Results showed that in simulated concrete pore solution，the embedded sacrificial anode was able to fully polarize the steel reinforcement within 6 h.During the service period，the steel reinforcement potential consistently remained more negative than－780 mV，without exceeding the hydrogen evolution potential.In concrete components，the embedded sacrificial anode achieved 80%polarization of the steel reinforcement within 6 h.A single anode provided a stable output current of 0.4 mA，with a current density of 12.74 mA/m2.As the distance between the embedded sacrificial anode and the steel reinforcement measurement point increased，the polarization degree of the steel reinforcement decreased，resulting in a reduced protective effect.The maximum protection distance was determined to be 80 cm.The corrosion products of the anode exhibited diffusive behavior and were distributed as fine white particles within the mortar pores，which could reduce the risk of concrete cracking caused by the expansion of corrosion products.…”

Analysis of the main provisions and features of Darwinism from logical and epistemological positions by E.V. Degtyarev

“…Scientific novelty: firstly, the logical error of «unjustified extrapolation» of Darwinism was discovered and substantiated, consisting in the fact that an unjustified conclusion is made about the existence of interspecies evolution from the undoubtedly existing intraspecific evolution; secondly, it was substantiated that the process of Darwin’s vision of the origin of more developed species from less developed ones is internally contradictory and illogical from logical and epistemological positions; thirdly, it is substantiated that from the logical-epistemological positions, the belief of Darwinism’s supporters that the first cells in terrestrial conditions arose randomly is, in essence, a kind of belief in the supernatural; fourthly, the article proposes a kind of «Lego principle» as one of the possible epistemological foundations for interspecies studies of living organisms. …”
