Differential Immunological Responses of Adult Domestic and Bighorn Sheep to Inoculation with Type Strain Y98.

Bighorn sheep (BHS) populations have been reported to experience high levels of morbidity and mortality following infection with . This contrasts with the subclinical presentation in domestic sheep (DS). Understanding this difference requires baseline knowledge of pre- and post-infection immune responses of both species.

Genomic Regions Associated with Spontaneous Abortion in Holstein Heifers.

The dairy industry relies on reproductive efficiency to maintain efficient milk production. Spontaneous abortion (SA), defined as pregnancy loss between gestation days 42 and 260, occurred in 4.5% of the artificially inseminated (AI) Holstein heifers and 31.

Genomic regions associated with Holstein heifer times bred to artificial insemination and embryo transfer services.

This study aimed to identify loci (p < 1 × 10) and gene sets (normalized enrichment score (NES) ≥ 3.0) associated with the number of times a heifer is bred to attain a successful pregnancy (TBRD) for Holstein heifers bred by artificial insemination (AI, n = 2754) or that were embryo transfer (ET, n = 1566) recipients. Eight loci were associated (p < 1 × 10) with TBRD in AI bred heifers and four loci were associated with TBRD in ET recipients.

UNLEASH: Ultralow Nanocluster Loading of Pt via Electro-Acoustic Seasoning of Heterocatalysts.

The shift toward sustainable energy has fueled the development of advanced electrocatalysts to enable green fuel production and chemical synthesis. To date, no material outperforms Pt-group catalysts for key electrocatalytic reactions, necessitating advanced catalysts that minimize use of these rare and expensive constituents (i.e.
