Regulates the Proliferation and Apoptosis of Ovarian Granulosa Cells by Targeting in Zhedong White Geese.

The proliferation and apoptosis of ovarian granulosa cells (GC) is critical for follicular development and ovulation, especially for egg-laying performance in female birds. In geese, follicular atrophy is accompanied by follicular GC apoptosis during brooding stages. MicroRNAs are involved in follicular development, atrophy, ovulation, and degeneration.

Investigating the bearing performance of the foundation under the combined effects of flood scouring and soaking.

Bearing capacity degradation of foundations under the impact of the flood is one of the major reasons responsible for the collapse and damage to the rural buildings, posing a serious threat to the local village societies. Based on a case study of a rural building foundation had been destroyed by flooding. This paper investigated the deterioration process of rural building foundations under the combined effect of dynamic scouring and static soaking caused by flooding.
