Simultaneous Unbinned Differential Cross-Section Measurement of Twenty-Four Z+jets Kinematic Observables with the ATLAS Detector.

Z boson events at the Large Hadron Collider can be selected with high purity and are sensitive to a diverse range of QCD phenomena. As a result, these events are often used to probe the nature of the strong force, improve Monte Carlo event generators, and search for deviations from standard model predictions. All previous measurements of Z boson production characterize the event properties using a small number of observables and present the results as differential cross sections in predetermined bins.

Association of Pulse Prssure Index With Mortality in Patients With Hypertension: Results From NHANES 1999-2018.

Vascular compliance is an important predictor of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Pulse pressure index (PPI) is a reliable indicator for evaluating vascular compliance. However, the association between PPI, all-cause mortality (ACM), and cardiovascular mortality (CVM) in patients with hypertension is still unclear.

Epigenetic modulation of social cognition: exploring the impact of methylation in brain-derived neurotrophic factor and oxytocin receptor genes across sex.

Social cognition, which ranges from recognizing social cues to intricate inferential reasoning, is influenced by environmental factors and epigenetic mechanisms. Notably, methylation variations in stress-related genes like brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and the oxytocin receptor (OXTR) are linked to distinct social cognitive functions and exhibit sex-specific differences. This study investigates how these methylation differences affect social cognition across sexes, focusing on both perceptual and inferential cognitive levels.

Multivalent Neuroprotective Activity of (Cardamom) and (Fennel) in HO-Induced Oxidative Stress in SH-SY5Y Cells and Acellular Assays.

Background: (Cardamom) and (Fennel) are well-known spices and are also used as natural mouth fresheners. This study was performed to evaluate their neuroprotective ability based on certain acellular and cellular assays.

Methods: Hexane and ethyl acetate extracts were prepared using cardamom and fennel seeds.

Estimation of Optimal and Maximum Standardized Ileal Digestible Methionine Requirements Based on Performance for Male Broilers Aged 0 to 21 Days.

Two experiments were conducted with Ross 308 male broiler chickens to determine the standardized ileal digestible (SID) methionine (Met) requirement for maximum weight gain during the starter (0 to 10 days) and grower (10 to 21 days) phases. A total of 720 and 288 birds were allocated to Experiments 1 and 2, respectively, and assigned six dietary treatments in a randomized complete block design. The experimental diets were formulated with corn, soybean meal, and synthetic amino acids to achieve varying SID Met levels (3.
