Polyp dimorphism in the Mediterranean Red Coral Corallium rubrum: siphonozooids are precursors to autozooids by Guillaume Loentgen, Scott K. Parks, Denis Allemand, Sylvie Tambutté, Philippe Ganot

“…In precious corals (family Coralliidae), polyp dimorphism has been documented in the pacific species such as Corallium japonicum, Pleurocorallium elatius and Pleurocorallium konojoi, over the past century, yet in the Mediterranean red coral, Corallium rubrum, the literature has consistently referred to these structures generically as “polyps”, neglecting the putative dimorphism and their respective roles in reproduction, growth, and development. …”

Study on Impact of Turbine Location on Hydrodynamics in Tidal Farm by Hongqiang Zhang, Daming Li, Yanqing Li, Ting Yang, Shan Luo, Shunfa Tian, Shilong Bu

“…This work aims at investigating the impact of different tidal turbine locations on hydrodynamics in near-field and far-field flow; thus, three- and two-dimensional (3- & 2-D) models were exploited in combination and applied in a case study of Putuo-Hulu Islands’ tidal farm. We present a method for the simplification of tidal turbine which, based on the energy equation, determines turbine’s equivalent roughness by calculating resistance loss in flow passage. …”

The Metabolic Syndrome, Inflammation, and Colorectal Cancer Risk: An Evaluation of Large Panels of Plasma Protein Markers Using Repeated, Prediagnostic Samples by Sophia Harlid, Robin Myte, Bethany Van Guelpen

“…Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a set of metabolic risk factors including obesity, dysglycemia, and dyslipidemia, is associated with increased colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. A putative biological mechanism is chronic, low-grade inflammation, both a feature of MetS and a CRC risk factor. …”

Global transcriptional modulation and nutritional status of soybean plants following foliar application of zinc borate as a suspension concentrate fertilizer by Eloisa Vendemiatti, Rafael Oliveira Moreira, Gabriel Lasmar dos Reis, Inty Omar Hernandez-De Lira, Eugenia Peña-Yewtukhiw, Franz Walter Rieger Hippler, Luis Omar Torres-Dorante, Kiran Pavuluri, Alex Valentine, Vitor L. Nascimento, Vagner Augusto Benedito

“…RNA-Seq of leaves under different B levels revealed modulated genes with potential roles in nutritional homeostasis and stress response that may be key to controlling B status in the plant. We also identified putative B transporters whose expression levels were significantly affected by B supplementation with foliar fertilization of plants growing under low B conditions. …”
