Gate-Controlled Potassium Intercalation and Superconductivity in Molybdenum Disulfide.

Intercalation of guest ions into a van der Waals (vdW) gap in layered materials is a powerful route to create novel material phases and functionalities. Ionic gating is a technique to control the motions and configuration of ions for both intercalation and surface electrostatic doping. The advance of ionic gating enables the probe of dynamics of ion diffusion, carrier doping, and transport properties.

Acclimation strategies in gilts to control Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infection.

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyopneumoniae) is the primary causative agent of enzootic pneumonia (EP), one of the most economically important infectious disease for the swine industry worldwide. M.

Survey on gilt acclimation practices in Europe.

Gilts are considered to play a key role in transmission and control. An effective gilt acclimation program should ideally reduce shedding at first farrowing, decreasing pre-weaning colonization prevalence and potential respiratory problems in fatteners. However, information on gilt acclimation practices is scarce in Europe The aim of this study was to identify current acclimation strategies for in Europe using a questionnaire designed to assess 15 questions focused on gilt replacement status, acclimation strategies and methods used to ascertain its effect.

Genome plasticity of triple-reassortant H1N1 influenza A virus during infection of vaccinated pigs.

To gain insight into the evolution of influenza A viruses (IAVs) during infection of vaccinated pigs, we experimentally infected a 3-week-old naive pig with a triple-reassortant H1N1 IAV and placed the seeder pig in direct contact with a group of age-matched vaccinated pigs (n = 10). We indexed the genetic diversity and evolution of the virus at an intra-host level by deep sequencing the entire genome directly from nasal swabs collected at two separate samplings during infection. We obtained 13 IAV metagenomes from 13 samples, which included the virus inoculum and two samples from each of the six pigs that tested positive for IAV during the study.

[Translation and validation of the Spanish version of the EAT-10 (Eating Assessment Tool-10) for the screening of dysphagia].

Rationale: The Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10) is a self-administered, analogical, direct-scoring screening tool for dysphagia.

Objective: To translate and adapt the EAT-10 into Spanish, and to evaluate its psychometric properties.

Methods: After the translation and back-translation process of the EAT-10 ES, a prospective study was performed in adult patients with preserved cognitive and functional abilities.
