The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of different doses of dietary Eucommia ulmoides leaf extract (ELE) on juvenile red claw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus). A total number of 720 red claw crayfish (initial body weight of 0.24 ± 0.01 g) were randomly assigned to six groups and fed diets containing 0 (Diet 1), 0.5 (Diet 2), 1 (Diet 3), 2 (Diet 4), 4 (Diet 5) and 10 (Diet 6) g dry weight (dw) ELE k...

Wing-assisted technology is an effective way to reduce emissions and promote the decarbonization of the shipping industry. The lifting and lowering of wing-sail is usually driven by hydraulic system. Leakage, as an important failure form, directly affects the safety as well as the functioning of hydraulic system. To increase the system reliability and improve the wing-assisted effect, it is essential to conduct leakage fault d...

Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of cell death accompanied by iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation. Both biotic and abiotic stresses can induce ferroptosis in plant cells. In the case of plant interactions with pathogenic Phytophthora oomycetes, the roles of ferroptosis are still largely unknown. Here, we performed transcriptome analysis on soybean plants treated with the biocontrol agent Pythium oligandrum , a soilb...

Serum ferritin (SF) and haemoglobin (Hb) are widely used in clinical practice to assess iron status. Studies exploring the relationship of SF and Hb with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk have yielded conflicting results, and some indicated sex specificity. Hypertensive patients have abnormal iron status. However, research on patients with hypertension is limited. We aim to investigate the sex-specific links...

Peatlands play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. Sphagnum mosses (peat mosses) are considered to be the peatland ecosystem engineers and contribute to the carbon accumulation in the peatland ecosystems. As cold‐adapted species, the dominance of Sphagnum mosses in peatlands will be threatened by climate warming. The response of Sphagnum mosses to climate change is closely related to the future trajectory of carbon flux...

Small yellow croaker ( Larimichthys polyactis ) is one of the key demersal species with high economic values and wide distribution in the China Seas. In this study, a Winter Fishing ground Abundance Index (WFAI) was developed by using fisheries survey data in 1971–1982 and used as the response variable to investigate the impacts of environmental variables, including surface current velocity (SCV), sea surface salinity (SSS), s...
