Age- and Gender-Based Differences in Nest-Building Behavior and Learning and Memory Performance Measured Using a Radial Six-Armed Water Maze in C57BL/6 Mice by Xiang-Dong Xiong, Wei-Dong Xiong, Shang-Shen Xiong, Gui-Hai Chen

“…In adult C57BL/6 mice, nest building is a sensitive indicator for detecting both age- and gender-based behavioral declines, while RAWM performance, an assessment of spatial learning and memory behaviors, is not sensitive to gender but significantly declines with aging. Therefore, for a C57BL/6 mouse model of aging, both nest building and RAWM should be useful to further study mechanisms involved in behavioral decline with aging.…”

Effectiveness of Glucocorticoids in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: An Umbrella Review by Semagn Mekonnen Abate, Hailemariam Mulugeta Kassim, Bivash Basu, Solomon Nega

“…There is high-to-moderate quality evidence that early low-dose prolonged glucocorticoid therapy reduces mortality in ARDS. However, randomized controlled trials with large sample sizes to address ventilator-free days, the incidence of infection, and other glucocorticoid-associated adverse events are required as the quality of evidence for these secondary outcomes which were low to very low. …”

Segmentation-based on-demand scalable address assignment algorithm in ZigBee networks by Zhi REN, Peng-xiang LI, Yu-kun YAO, Yong HUANG

“…Segmentation-based on-demand scalable address assignment algorithm was proposed,which segmented the 16bit address space according to a value predefined by DAAM.When a router lacks addresses,it extended its address space to a new segment.Thus,more addresses could be attained and assigned to children.Meanwhile,the present tree routing protocol was improved to suit the extended addresses.Theoretical and simulation analysis show that our algorithm outperforms DAAM and one of its present improvements in terms of the success rate of address assignment,communication overhead,etc.…”

Compensatory effects conceal large uncertainties in the modelled processes behind the relationship between the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and CO₂ by I. Dunkl, I. Dunkl, A. Bastos, T. Ilyina, T. Ilyina, T. Ilyina

“…<p>A large fraction of the interannual variation in the global carbon cycle can be explained and predicted by the impact of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on net biome production (NBP). It is therefore crucial that the relationship between ENSO and NBP is correctly represented in Earth system models (ESMs). …”
