Thermotolerance has become an essential factor in the prevention of the adverse effects of heat stress, but it varies among animals. Identifying genes related to heat adaptability traits is important for improving thermotolerance and for selecting more productive animals in hot environments. The primary objective of this research was to find candidate genes in the liver that play a crucial role in the heat stress response of Santa Ines sheep, which exhibit varying levels of heat tolerance. To achieve this goal, 80 sheep were selected based on their thermotolerance and placed in a climate chamber for 10 days, during which the average temperature was maintained at 36 °C from 10 a...

Emulsions are widely used in many industrial applications, and the development of efficient techniques for synthesizing them is a subject of ongoing research. Vapor condensation is a promising method for energy-efficient, high-throughput production of monodisperse nanoscale emulsions. However, previous studies using this technique are limited to producing small volumes of water-in-oil dispersions. In this work, a new method for the continuous synthesis of nanoscale emulsions (water-in-oil and oil-in-water) is presented by condensing vapor on free-flowing surfactant solutions...

To interact successfully with objects, it is crucial to accurately perceive their spatial extent, an enclosed region they occupy in space. Although the topographic representation of space in the early visual cortex (EVC) has been favored as a neural correlate of spatial extent perception, its exact nature and contribution to perception remain unclear. Here, we inspect the topographic representations of human individuals' EVC and perception in terms of how much their anisotropy is influenced by the orientation (co-axiality) and radial position (radiality) of stimuli...

BACKGROUND: Esophagectomy is the main treatment for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and patients with histopathologically negative margins still have a relatively higher recurrence rate. Contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) radiomics might noninvasively obtain potential information about the internal heterogeneity of ESCC and its adjacent tissues. This study aimed to develop CECT radiomics models to preoperatively identify the differences between tumor and proximal tumor-adjacent and tumor-distant tissues in ESCC to potentially reduce tumor recurrence...

In biological network analysis, identifying key molecules plays a decisive role in the development of potential diagnostic and therapeutic candidates. Among various approaches of network analysis, network vulnerability analysis is quite important, as it assesses significant associations between topological properties and the functional essentiality of a network. Similarly, some node centralities are also used to screen out key molecules. Among these node centralities, escape velocity centrality (EVC), and its extended version (EVC+) outperform others, viz...

Postaxial or ulnar polydactyly is the most common form of polydactyly that may present with the duplication of soft-tissue structures only or with additional bony involvement. Surgical excision is the only viable treatment option for postaxial polydactyly with bony involvement, and psychological or cosmetic reasons are the main rationale for treatment. Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EVC) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by chondral and ectodermal dysplasia, particularly postaxial polydactyly. The exact prevalence of EVC is unknown, and fewer than 300 cases have been reported...
