Feeding broilers with the addition of an Ilex paraguariensis coproduct affects zootechnical performance and meat quality responses.

During the harvest of Ilex paraguariensis, approximately 2-5 tons per hectare of thick stems are left on the soil surface. The outer portion of these stems, referred to as the coproduct, constitutes 30% of the total residue mass. Although this coproduct has been partially characterized in terms of its phytochemical profile, its technological applications remain unexplored.

AIP56, an AB toxin secreted by subsp. , has tropism for myeloid cells.

Introduction: The AB-type toxin AIP56 is a key virulence factor of Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida (Phdp), inducing apoptosis in fish immune cells. The discovery of AIP56-like and AIP56-related toxins in diverse organisms, including human-associated Vibrio strains, highlights the evolutionary conservation of this toxin family, suggesting that AIP56 and its homologs may share conserved receptors across species.

Optimal frequency bands for pupillography for maximal correlation with HRV.

Assessing cognitive load using pupillography frequency features presents a persistent challenge due to the lack of consensus on optimal frequency limits. This study aims to address this challenge by exploring pupillography frequency bands and seeking clarity in defining the most effective ranges for cognitive load assessment. From a controlled experiment involving 21 programmers performing software bug inspection, our study pinpoints the optimal low-frequency (0.

Straightforward Formation of Borirenes from Boroles and Dialkynes.

We report a selective one-step synthesis of perarylated borirenes by reaction of antiaromatic boroles with 1,4-diarylbuta-1,3-diynes. Mechanistic studies, both experimental and computational, reveal key intermediates, including boranorbornadiene and 7-borabicyclo[4.1.

Deployment and transcriptional evaluation of nitisinone, an FDA-approved drug, to control bed bugs.

Background: Bed bugs are blood-feeders that rapidly proliferate into large indoor infestations. Their bites can cause allergies, secondary infections and psychological stress, among other problems. Although several tactics for their management have been used, bed bugs continue to spread worldwide wherever humans reside.
