This study investigates the impact of nutritional supplementation on semen quality, epigenetic-related gene expression, and oxidative status in boars. Thirty boars were divided into a control group and a treatment group receiving Espermaplus (a supplement containing various vitamins, amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids, and trace elements with antioxidant properties). The experiment was performed for 12 weeks.

- Climate change is causing more intense rainfall and pluvial floods in urban areas, which are worsened by urban expansion that reduces land permeability.
- This study analyzes how different urban morphologies affect floodwater distribution in 15 urban catchments across England, utilizing cellular automata models and machine learning to identify key morphological factors.
- Findings reveal that impervious surface area significantly impacts flooding, but modifying edge density of building footprints and impervious surfaces could reduce flood volume by up to 7.8%, providing insights for urban planners to create flood-resilient cities.
The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the immunostimulant Mycobacterium Cell Wall Fraction (MCWF) on the treatment of S. aureus SCM by intravenous application. The study included 45 HF dairy cows in 2nd and 3rd month after parturition divided into three groups (n = 15 per group): the MC + group - cows with S.

- The study aimed to enhance genomic evaluation of milk traits in Holstein-Friesian cattle by identifying candidate genes associated with these traits using SNP analyses.
- A GWAS was conducted on 334 genotyped Serbian HF cows, revealing a significant polymorphism linked to milk protein concentration in early lactation.
- The research also evaluated inbreeding levels and identified ROH segments, contributing to the understanding of genetic factors that can improve milk production in breeding programs.
Article Synopsis
- * Thymol supplementation showed positive effects by boosting immune-related gene expression, enhancing oxidative stress parameters, and reducing parasite spore loads in infected bees, with no negative effects observed.
- * Caution is advised when using thymol on uninfected bees, as it may lead to adverse outcomes such as lower survival rates and downregulated immune responses, indicating the need for more research on its effects in healthy bees.
Oxygen reduction in acidic aqueous solution mediated by a series of asymmetric iron (III)-tetra(aryl)porphyrins adsorbed to basal- and edge- plane graphite electrodes is investigated. The asymmetric iron porphyrin systems bear phenyl groups at three meso positions and either a 2-pyridyl, a 2-benzoic acid, or a 2-hydroxyphenyl group at the remaining meso position. The presence of the three unmodified phenyl groups makes the compounds insoluble in water, enabling catalyst retention during electrochemical experiments.
