coat, the avian PL is unique in that two avian-specific postovulatory coats, the continuous membrane and the outer perivitelline layer (OPL), are closely associated with the preovulatory ZP-related coat, thereby called the inner perivitelline layer (IPL), during egg formation in the oviduct. ...
In appraising any investment proposal one compares the costs of the investment with the returns expected. What complicates this process of evaluation is the fact that there is a time-lag between the cash outflows and inflows. Time is of the essence in any investment problem and thus a ...
With easily found clutches and a short hatching time, rice frogs provide an ideal opportunity to test the effects of egg size on offspring fitness. In this paper, according to the life-history theory and the characteristics of rice frogs, we tried to answer the following questions: (1) does...

Flowering time (FTi) control is well examined in the long-day plant Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), and increasing knowledge is available for the short-day plant rice (Oryza sativa). In contrast, little is known in the day-neutral and agronomically important crop plant maize (Zea mays). ...
The transition from fertilized egg to embryo in chicken requires activation of hundreds of genes that were mostly inactivated before fertilization, which is accompanied with various biological processes. Undoubtedly, transcription factors (TFs) play impo
Here, we show that the egg-spots of haplochromines are made up of yellow pigment cells, xanthophores, and that a gene coding for a type III receptor tyrosine kinase, colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor a (csf1ra), is expressed in egg-spot tissue. Molecular evolutionary analyses reveal th...
The factor 1.5 provides a safety factor against flutter, a standard in aerospace engineering [35]. Since this is a multi-objective problem and the run time of the surrogate model is inexpensive, a gradient-free optimizer was chosen to better explore the design space, namely, the implementation...
fat diet amplified the weaning reaction, elevating liver glucose uptake, triglyceride levels, and steatohepatitis susceptibility along the lifespan. The visceral network establishes a balance between metabolism and inflammation, with clear imaging biomarkers, and crucial modulation in the weaning time window...
