Enrichment effects on growth, health, and reproduction in a single clone of the asexual Amazon molly, .

This study examines the impact of two types of environmental enrichment on the growth of the Amazon molly (), a clonal fish species. We investigated the effects of two welfare-related enrichment factors: physical enrichment (presence of a halfpipe PVC and gravel substrate, E) and social enrichment (presence of visible neighbor fish, N). Fish were divided into four treatment groups: (1) both physical and social enrichment (EN), (2) no physical enrichment but social enrichment (nEN), (3) physical enrichment without social enrichment (EnN,), and (4) no enrichment (nEnN).

Data-Driven Strategies for Carbimazole Titration: Exploring Machine Learning Solutions in Hyperthyroidism Control.

Background: University Hospitals Dorset (UHD) has over 1,000 thyroid patient contacts annually. These are primarily patients with autoimmune hyperthyroidism treated with Carbimazole titration. Dose adjustments are made by a healthcare professional (HCP) based on the results of thyroid function tests, who then prescribes a dose and communicates this to the patient via letter.

Cellulose from dinoflagellates as a versatile and environmentally friendly platform for the production of functionalised cellulose nanofibres.

Cellulose nanofibres (CNFs), also known as nano-fibrillated cellulose, have emerged as highly promising sustainable biomaterials owing to their numerous advantages, including high accessibility, long-term sustainability, low toxicity, and mechanical properties. Recently, marine organisms have been explored as novel and environmentally friendly sources of cellulose fibers (CFs) due to their easy cultivation, extraction and biocompatibility. Dinoflagellates, a group of marine phytoplankton, have gained particular attention due to their unique cellulosic morphology and lignin-free biomass.

Plutonium mobility and reactivity in a heterogeneous clay rock barrier accented by synchrotron-based microscopic chemical imaging.

The long-term safe disposal of radioactive waste corresponds to a challenging responsibility of present societies. Within deep geological waste disposal concepts, host rocks correspond to the ultimate safety barrier towards the environment. To assess the performance of such barriers over extended time scales, mechanistic information on the interaction between the radiotoxic, long-lived radionuclides like plutonium and the host rock is essential.

Elasticity of emotions to multiple interpersonal transgressions.

After an interpersonal mishap-like blowing off plans with a friend, forgetting a spouse's birthday, or falling behind on a group project-wrongdoers typically feel guilty for their misbehavior, and victims feel angry. These emotions are believed to possess reparative functions; their expression prevents future mistakes from reiterating. However, little research has examined people's emotional reactions to mistakes that happen more than once.
