Is Beak Morphology in Darwin’s Finches Tuned to Loading Demands? by Joris Soons (754315)

“…In seed-crushing birds, beaks have been suggested to evolve at least in part to avoid fracture. Yet, we know little about mechanical relationships between beak shape, stress dissipation, and fracture avoidance. …”

Label-Free, In-Solution Screening of Peptide Libraries for Binding to Protein Targets Using Hydrogen Exchange Mass Spectrometry by Walid S. Maaty (1412329)

<b>Ontogeny of energy use in harvester ant colonies, and the metabolic expense of colony growth</b> by Xiaohui Guo (9669860)

“…In multiple social insect taxa, colony metabolic rate scales hypometrically across species or populations at the same developmental stage, but metabolic patterns during ontogeny have not been examined for any social insect species. We performed the first ontogenetic study of social metabolic scaling in harvester ant colonies (<i>Pogonomyrmex californicus</i>) over 3.5 years as they grew from 5212 to 767380 workers. …”

Post-traumatic stress disorder and congenital anomalies in prenatal care by Michelle Alves Viana Aguiar (14061611)

“…The IES-R intrusion and hyperstimulation dimensions were more correlated. We observed a decreasing connection with PTSD symptoms in relation to the time of the notification of congenital anomaly diagnosis. …”

Aspirin treatment does not increase microhemorrhage size in young or aged mice by Sandy Chan (3758512)

“…We used femtosecond laser ablation to rupture arterioles in the cortex of both young (2–5 months old) and aged (18–29 months old) mice dosed on aspirin in their drinking water and measured the extent of penetration of both red blood cells and blood plasma into the surrounding tissue. …”

Functional Characteristics of the Naked Mole Rat μ-Opioid Receptor by Melanie Busch-Dienstfertig (490248)

“…<div><p>While humans and most animals respond to µ-opioid receptor (MOR) agonists with analgesia and decreased aggression, in the naked mole rat (NMR) opioids induce hyperalgesia and severe aggression. …”

BODY COMBAT™ CLASSIC MUSIC IMPROVES ADOLESCENT'S STATE OF MIND by Michelle Jalousie Kommers (8184702)

“…We used the Shapiro-Wilk test and ꭓ² McNemar test to verify the association of the variables at significance p <0.05, that is, 10%, 5% and 1%, confidence interval 90, 95 and 99%, respectively. …”

“…</p>Methods<p>Using mortality data from the Mortality Registration System of Pudong New Area, the largest district of Shanghai with a population of permanent resident of 5.68 million, during 1973–2019, we analyzed the temporal trends for the mortality rates and YLL by Joinpoint Regression Program. …”

<i>Pten</i> Regulates Development and Lactation in the Mammary Glands of Dairy Cows by Zhuoran Wang (187223)

“…The <i>Pten</i> mRNA and protein expression levels were decreased 0.3- and 0.4-fold in mammary glands of lactating cows producing high quality milk (milk protein >3.0%, milk fat >3.5%), compared with those cows producing low quality milk (milk protein <3.0%, milk fat <3.5%). …”

Control of Bone Mass and Remodeling by PTH Receptor Signaling in Osteocytes by Charles A. O'Brien (271071)

“…Parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates bone remodeling and may cause bone loss or bone gain depending on the balance between bone resorption and formation. Herein, we demonstrate that transgenic mice expressing a constitutively active PTH receptor exclusively in osteocytes exhibit increased bone mass and bone remodeling, as well as reduced expression of the osteocyte-derived Wnt antagonist sclerostin, increased Wnt signaling, increased osteoclast and osteoblast number, and decreased osteoblast apoptosis. …”

A New Energetic Complex: Synthesis, Structure, and Combustion Catalysis Performance by Chengfang Qiao (3146160)

“…<div><p>The potential of tetrazole-based ligands for forming energetic complexes applied in pyrotechnics and propellants is demonstrated with the use of 5,5’-(1,3-phenylene)bis(1H-tetrazole) (H2BTB) to generate an energetic complex with high energy. …”

Stringency of the association of Vsp-recombinant <i>B. burgdorferi</i> clones with human brain endothelium. by Gaurav Gandhi (239145)

“…<p>HBMEC monolayers on transwell chambers that had been incubated with S35-labeled Vsp-recombinant clones of <i>B. burgdorferi</i> at 37°C and rinsed with media were washed with 250 mM NaCl PBS followed by lysis with 0.5% SDS in water (panel A). In some experiments we incubated B31-5A18NP1-Vsp1 with HBMEC also at 4°C (panel B). …”
