Development of a welfare assessment protocol for migratory goats in the North-Western Himalayan region.

This study aimed to develop a welfare assessment protocol specifically for migratory goats, acknowledging that migratory pastoralism, while allowing natural behavior expression, can compormise welfare due to environmental stressors and malnutrition. Existing research predominantly focuses on intensive systems, leaving a gap in migratory system assessment. Adapted from the AWIN framework, the protocol was developed through a systematic literature review and expert consultation ( = 46), prioritizing welfare indicators using Likert scale and Weighted Average Index.

Cobalt-based Photocatalysis: From Fundamental Principles to Applications in the Generation of C-X (X = C, O, N, H, Si) Bond.

Over the past few decades, the merger of photocatalysis and transition metal-based catalysis or self-photoexcitation of transition metals has emerged as a useful tool in organic transformations. In this context, cobalt-based systems have attracted significant attention as sustainable alternatives to the widely explored platinum group heavy metals (iridium, rhodium, ruthenium) for photocatalytic chemical transformations. This review encompasses the basic types of cobalt-based homogeneous photocatalytic systems, their working principles, and the recent developments (2018-2024) in C-X (X = C, N, O, H, Si) bond formations.

First Measurement: Proactive Immune Cell Sparing in Radiation Therapy.

Purpose: Radiation Therapy (RT) can modulate the immune system and generate anti-tumor T cells. However, this anti-tumor-activity is countered by radiation-induced immunosuppression (RIIS). Clinical advantages of proactively sparing RT dose to immune rich organs have not previously been evaluated.

First genome-specific development, characterization and validation of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers in , a commercially important bamboo of India.

The natural population of have not been genetically enumerated due to a lack of genome sequence information or robust species-specific molecular marker. The present study was conducted to develop and validate genome-wide de novo simple sequence repeat (SSRs) markers in through shallow-pass genome sequencing. The genome sequence data of about 13 Gb was generated using Illumina technology, and high-quality sequence reads were de novo assembled into 1,390,995 contigs with GC content 42.

Investigating Molecular Interactions through Computational Modeling, Thermodynamic Analysis, and Acoustic Measurements of LiOTf in Aqueous TEGDME and DME Solutions at Different Temperatures.

This study investigates solute-solvent interactions in ternary systems consisting of lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiOTf) as the solute and tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME) and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) as solvents over a range of temperatures (293.15-313.15 K).
