Interactions using various sensory cues produce sophisticated behaviour in animal swarms, e.g.the foraging behaviour of ants and the flocking of birds and fish.Here, we investigate the behavioural mechanisms of frog choruses from the viewpoints of mathematical modelling and its application.Empirical data on male Japanese tree frogs demonstrate that
Cancer cells rewire metabolism to meet biosynthetic and energetic demands.The characteristic increase in glycolysis, i.e., Warburg effect, now considered as a hallmark, supports cancer in various ways.To attain such metabolic reshuffle, Body Fragrances cancer cells preferentially re-express the M2 isoform of pyruvate kinase (PKM2, M2-PK) and alter
Net surface shortwave radiation (NSSR) is one of the most important fundamental parameters in various land processes.Benefiting from its efficient nonlinear fitting ability, machine learning algorithms have a great potential in the retrieval of NSSR.However, few studies have explored the level of accuracy that machine learning algorithms can reach
ABSTRACT Although the genotypic and phenotypic properties of the Lactobacillus casei group have been studied extensively, the taxonomic structure has been Art by Venue the subject of debate for a long time.Here, we performed a large-scale comparative analysis by using 183 publicly available genomes supplemented with a Lactobacillus strain isolated
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the seropositivity rate of rapid tests for HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B and C among transvestites and transgender women (transfeminine persons) inmates in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro, analyzing the results based on sociodemographic, prison profile and access to health technologies to prevent sexually t
