The objective of this study was to examine transmission of paratuberculosis in dairy cattle attributable to the dam. Milk samples were collected from 8131 cows in 110 Danish dairy herds. The level of antibodies to Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis was determined by use of an ELISA. Information on dam and sire was obtained from the Danish Cattle database. The following two data sets were analyzed: Data set A contained all cows < or = 400 days in milk (n = 7410); data set B contained 1056 dam-daughter pairs present simultaneously in herds at the day of sampling. Cows > 400 days in milk were excluded. Linear mixed models were used to obtain variance components for the effect of sire in data set A and the effect of sire and dam-daughter pairs in data set B. Models for both data sets A and B included information previously shown to confound antibody level and information of the relative prevalence of paratuberculosis in the herd. In data set A, the effect explained by sire was 1.9%, whereas it was 6.3% in data set B. The effect from dam-daughter pairs was 7.7%. Those effects were all significant. It was concluded that the parental contribution was significant, and both heritability of susceptibility and vertical transmission should be considered in any control programs on paratuberculosis in dairy cattle.

Multi-environmental trials (MET) with temporal and spatial variance are crucial for understanding genotype-environment-management (GxExM) interactions in crops. Here, we present a MET dataset for winter wheat in Germany. The dataset encompasses MET spanning six years (2015-2020), six locations and nine crop management scenarios (consisting of combinations for three treatments, unbalanced in each location and year) comparing 228 cultivars released between 1963 and 2016, amounting to a total of 526,751 data points covering 24 traits.

Rationale And Objectives: Inflammation and immune biomarkers can promote angiogenesis and proliferation and metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The degree of pathological grade reflects the tumor heterogeneity of ESCC. The purpose is to develop and validate a nomogram based on enhanced CT multidimensional radiomics combined with inflammatory immune score (IIS) for predicting poorly differentiated ESCC.

The sharing of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data is of utmost importance in the field, as it enables a deeper understanding of facial nerve-related pathologies. However, there is a significant lack of multi-modal neuroimaging databases specifically focused on these conditions, which hampers our comprehensive knowledge of the neural foundations of facial paralysis. To address this critical gap and propel advancements in this area, we have released the Multimodal Neuroimaging Dataset of Meige Syndrome, Facial Paralysis, and Healthy Controls (MND-MFHC).

Interfacial tension () between CO and brine depends on chemical components in multiphase systems, intricately evolving with a change in temperature. In this study, we developed a convolutional neural network with a multibranch structure (MBCNN), which, in combination with a compiled data set containing measurement data of 1716 samples from 13 available literature sources at wide temperature and pressure ranges (273.15-473.
