Role of arrowworm Sagitta elegans (Chaetognatha) in plankton communities of the western Bering Sea by E. P. Dulepova

“…The arrowworm production decreased in these warm years but production of non-predatory species (basically small- and medium-sized copepods) increased sharply because of their rapid response to temperature changes realized in high growth rate under higher temperature. Thus, the role of S. elegans in formation of the community production becomes lower in conditions favorable for high growth rate of non-predatory species.…”

Effect of breast milk olfactory experience on physiological indicators in very low birth weight infants: a randomized clinical trial by Ling Yu, Yibo Tao, Pin Jia, Liling Li, Tianchan Lv, Li Wang, Qinqin Song, Xia Huan, Chan Liu, Yalan Dou, Yan Xuan, Xiao-jing Hu

“…A narrower range of fluctuation was observed across all physiological indicators in the intervention group, indicating a more stable pattern compared to the control group. Although no significant difference was found in heart rate variability (50.35 ± 9.61 vs. 48.03 ± 10.2, t=-1.320, P = 0.187), a significant difference was noted in the average heart rate between the two groups (155.65 ± 6.80 vs. 153.58 ± 4.22, t=-2.141, P = 0.032). …”

Controlled-release fertilizer affects leaf nitrogen allocation and photosynthesis to improve nitrogen use efficiency and yield in the sunflower field by Wenhao Ren, Xianyue Li, Xianyue Li, Xianyue Li, Tingxi Liu, Tingxi Liu, Ning Chen, Maoxin Xin, Qian Qi, Bin Liu

“…IntroductionNitrogen (N) can significantly affect the photosynthetic rate (Pn) of plants. Under traditional nitrogen fertilization (TNF) or inappropriate nitrogen application, leaf N is often redistributed to support the seed protein accumulation rather than the photosynthesis in the later stages of crop growth. …”
