Reduction of chickens use to perform in vitro pre-screening of novel anticoccidials by miniaturisation and increased throughput of the current Eimeria tenella compound-screening mo... by Virginia Marugan-Hernandez, Javier Regidor-Cerrillo, Luis Ortega-Mora, Sara Arias-Maroto, Kelsilandia Aguiar-Martins

“…In this study, we describe how further optimisation of this in vitro model by miniaturisation can have an additional impact in reduction of the number of chickens used for the generation of parasite stocks for provision of the in vitro model. We have estimated that the use of one chicken could support the evaluation of 10 compounds with a 96-well plate format versus only two compounds with a 24-well plate format, which means an 80% reduction in chicken use. …”

Is There Synchronicity in Nitrogen Input and Output Fluxes at the Noland Divide Watershed, a Small N-Saturated Forested Catchment in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park? by H. Van Miegroet, I.F. Creed, N.S. Nicholas, D.G. Tarboton, K.L. Webster, J. Shubzda, B. Robinson, J. Smoot, D. W. Johnson, S. E. Lindberg, G. Lovett, S. Nodvin, S. Moore

“…Poir] forests in the Southern Appalachians currently receive large nitrogen (N) inputs via atmospheric deposition (30 kg N ha�1 year�1) but have limited N retention capacity due to a combination of stand age, heavy fir mortality caused by exotic insect infestations, and numerous gaps caused by windfalls and ice storms. This study examined the magnitude and timing of the N fluxes into, through, and out of a small, first-order catchment in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. …”

L-Cysteine Treatment Delays Leaf Senescence in Chinese Flowering Cabbage by Regulating ROS Metabolism and Stimulating Endogenous H₂S Production by Linzhi Gan, Zhenliang Mou, Jianye Chen, Wei Shan, Jianfei Kuang, Wangjin Lu, Yating Zhao, Wei Wei

“…This study aimed to investigate the effect of L-cysteine (L-cys) on postharvest Chinese flowering cabbage stored at 20 °C. The results showed that 0.5 g L⁻¹ L-cys treatment effectively slowed leaf senescence by downregulating chlorophyll degradation genes <i>(BrNYC1, BrNOL</i>, <i>BrPPH</i>, <i>BrPAO</i>, <i>BrNYE</i>, and <i>BrSAGs</i>) and senescence marker gene <i>BrSAG12</i>. …”

Design of Bacterial Cultures in Fermented Functional Maize Product Formulation by Zuzana Matejčeková, Anna Mikulajová, Eva Vlková, Denisa Liptáková, Silvia Mošovská, Eva Hybenová, Ľubomír Valík

“…animalis J3II, and Bifidobacterium thermophilum DSM 20212 inoculated after the fermentation process were well maintained (>5 log CFU/mL) in combination with the mixed Fresco culture in the prepared maize products within 21 days of storage. Based on the overall sensory acceptance, caramel mashes after 12 days of storage period were evaluated as satisfactory (2.4 to 3.1 from 4.0), while 21-day stored products achieved good acceptability scores (3.0 to 3.6 from 4.0), hence the tendency of the positive effect of prolonged shelf-life was noted.…”

Multiscale modeling of reservoir systems using geostatistical methods by Chihi, Hayet, Hammami, Mohamed Amin, Mezni, Imen, Belayouni, Habib, Ben Mammou, Abdallah

“…The original and extended data are then coded and stored in a common georeferenced database. This provides a detailed input for the geostatistical modeling procedures that enabled to precisely capture the varying extent and shape of the hydrogeological units at regional scale.Geophysical data, available along the Jeffara plain, were added as a complement to the Jeffara geodatabase and used to establish the fault network and to build a local architectural model of the coastal aquifer system, based on time-to-depth conversion using kriging with external drift.The results have allowed (i) a major update of the geological configuration of the Jeffara basin, (ii) more precision on the geometries and extent of the stratigraphic sequences and (iii) an accurate prediction of the main characteristics of water reservoirs, i.e. their occurrence, thickness, facies and dynamic properties variation at the basin and reservoir scale. …”
