Examining the influence of environmental factors on Acanthamoeba castellanii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in co-culture

by Rhiannon E. Cecil, Deborah R. Yoder-Himes

Exploration of interspecies interactions between microorganisms can have taxonomic, ecological, evolutionary, or medical applications. To better explore interactions between microorganisms it is important to establish the ideal conditions that ensure survival of all species involved. In this study, we sought to identify the ideal biotic and abiotic factors that would result in high co-culture viability of two interkingdom species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acanthamoeba castellanii...

Boosting agricultural green development: Does socialized service matter?

by Yongqi Yu, Zexin Chi, Yanfeng Yu, Junjie Zhao, Liulin Peng

Agricultural socialized service is gradually emerging as a new stimulus for enhancing the agricultural production environment. However, their precise impact on improving the agricultural ecological environment and promoting the green development of agriculture remains incompletely understood. Therefore, leveraging panel data spanning from 2003 to 2020 across 31 provinces in China, this study utilizes the bidirectional fixed effect model... Читать дальше...

Study on vertical variation characteristics of soil phosphorus adsorption and desorption in black soil region of Northeast China

by Wenzhi Zhao, Xu Xie, Tian He, Jintao Zhang, Jiufen Liu

The adsorption and desorption of phosphorus (P) in soil constitute a crucial internal cycle that is closely associated with soil fertility, exerting direct influence on the quantity, form, and availability of P within the soil. The vertical spatial variation characteristics of soil adsorption and desorption were investigated for the 0–100 cm soil layer in the northeast black soil region in this study. The maximum adsorption capacity... Читать дальше...

Exploring the role of temperature and other environmental factors in West Nile virus incidence and prediction in California counties from 2017–2022 using a zero-inflated model

by Noah Parker

West Nile virus (WNV) is the most common mosquito-borne disease in the United States, resulting in hundreds of reported cases yearly in California alone. The transmission cycle occurs mostly in birds and mosquitoes, making meteorological conditions, such as temperature, especially important to transmission characteristics. Given that future increases in temperature are all but inevitable due to worldwide climate change, determining associations between temperature and WNV incidence in humans... Читать дальше...

Protein loop structure prediction by community-based deep learning and its application to antibody CDR H3 loop modeling

by Hyeonuk Woo, Yubeen Kim, Chaok Seok

As of now, more than 60 years have passed since the first determination of protein structures through crystallography, and a significant portion of protein structures can be predicted by computers. This is due to the groundbreaking enhancement in protein structure prediction achieved through neural network training utilizing extensive sequence and structure data. However, substantial challenges persist in structure prediction due to limited data availability... Читать дальше...

U.S. to Set New Oil Production Record, But 2025 Looks Bleak

I have noted in recent articles that U.S. oil production is presently at about the same level it was 10 months ago. In August 2023, the U.S. produced 13.0 million BPD of crude oil. That gradually rose to 13.3 million BPD by the end of 2023 but has since declined back to 13.1 million BPD. In a recent TikTok video, I pointed this out and one commenter asked “How can this be if we are producing more oil than ever?” The confusion is understandable, so I will explain here how two things can be true: The...
