For many animal species, vocal communication is a critical social behavior and often necessary component of reproductive success. Additionally, vocalizations are demanding motor acts. Wanting to know whether specific molecular toolkit might be required for vocalization, we used RNA-sequencing investigate neural gene expression underlying the performance an extreme behavior, courtship hum plainf...

Strong reciprocity (SR) has recently been subject to heated debate. In this debate, the "West camp" (West et al. in Evol Hum Behav 32(4):231-262, 2011), which is critical of the case for SR, and the "Laland camp" (Laland et al. in Science, 334(6062):1512-1516, 2011, Biol Philos 28(5):719-745, 2013), which is sympathetic to the case of SR, seem to take diametrically opposed positions. The West c...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare outcomes of infants pre and post initiation of a feeding protocol providing an exclusive human milk-based diet (HUM). MATERIALS AND METHODS In a multicenter retrospective cohort study, infants with a birth weight <1,250 g who received a bovine-based diet (BOV) of mother's own milk fortified with bovine fortifier and/or preterm formula were compar...

O gerenciamento de resíduos é um desafio para as instituições saúde. Diversos fatores influenciam no manejo adequado desses resíduos, desde a segregação até disposição final. objetivo do estudo foi desenvolver software apoio à gestão em relação ao dos saúde Hospital Universitário Maringá (HUM). Estudo descritivo, retrospectivo, por meio coleta dados determinação da quantidade gerados HUM, confo...

In article number 2101036, Fei Zhao, Chenyang Guihua Yu, and co-workers develop a hydrogel-based ultrathin membrane (HUM) for solar water purification. The HUM can synergistically coordinate facilitated vapor transfer environmental energy harvesting in solar-driven distillation system, leading to significant yield improvement under one sun without any recycling cooling accessories.
