Published: February 1999

In the adult lancelet, Branchiostoma belcheri, there is a lobe of the right ventral margin of the brain that extends around the right side of the notochord and makes contact with Hatschek's pit, which also is to the right of the midline. This structural system resembles the hypothalamo-adenohypophyseal system of vertebrates and appears to make possible seasonal nervous regulation of the release of gonadotropin.

Department of Food Science and Engineering, College of Life Science & Technology, Xinjiang University, Urumqi 830046, China; Xinjiang Key Laboratory of Biological Resources and Genetic Engineering, Xinjiang University, Urumqi 830046, China.

Yak milk is a potential nutrient for improving osteoporosis. However, the effect of yak milk on the expression of Caion channel TRPV5 during osteoclast (OC) differentiation is still unclear. This study used ruthenium red as a control to investigate the effect of yak milk on osteoclast differentiation and activity.

Role of riverbed sand mining on planform and cross-sectional morphology of Mayurakshi River, India.

Sci Total Environ

January 2025

Laboratorio de Geografía Física, Escuela de Geografía, Universidad de Costa Rica, Costa Rica.

Human interventions in the form of riverbed sand mining are escalating worldwide, especially in the humid tropics with excess population pressure exerting an elevated demand for sand as construction materials. Naturally, channel morphological alterations are observed for the tropical fluvial systems to a large extent. The present work examines the riverbed sand mining of the Mayurakshi River (India) during the last fifty years (1970-2020) using topographical maps, satellite images and field-based cross-sectional measurements.

January 2025

Ploufragan-Plouzané-Niort Laboratory, Epidemiology Health and Welfare Unit, French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety (ANSES), BP53 22440 Ploufragan, France. Electronic address:

Appropriate disposal of dead farming animals is required to guarantee effective disease control while protecting the environment. In crisis situations, alternatives to rendering can be used, including on-farm burial. The objectives of this study were to: (i) describe the burial and monitoring protocols used on poultry farms in France in response to major avian influenza outbreaks; (ii) assess the effectiveness of the burial protocol, in terms of both technical and biosecurity aspects, and microbiological, physical and chemical changes of the buried materials and the environment over time; (iii) provide recommendations for future burial and follow-up protocols.
