Deoxynucleosides as promising antimicrobial agents against foodborne pathogens and their applications in food and contact material surfaces by Olajide Sunday Faleye, Jin-Hyung Lee, Jintae Lee

“…Among the sixty-six nucleosides evaluated, 2',3'-dideoxyadenosine (ddA) and 2'-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine (FdCyd) were identified as exceptional biofilm inhibitors, achieving 98 and 100 % reduction respectively. FdCyd exhibited low minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 30, 40 and 10 μg/mL against V. parahaemolyticus, V. harveyi and Salmonella typhimurium while ddA had MICs 40, 40 and >500 μg/mL, respectively. …”

Effects of housefly larvae meal and multi-enzyme-probiotic supplementation on performance, egg quality, and blood biochemistry in laying hens by Abolfazl Salehizadeh, Ph.D, Mehran Torki, Ph.D, Maryam Darbemamieh, Ph.D, Seyed Davood Sharifi, Ph.D

“…The inclusion of HFLM, with or without Rayabold, significantly reduced feed intake compared to the control; however, Rayabold partially offset this reduction at the 5 % and 10 % HFLM levels. Although feed intake was reduced, egg production remained unaffected, while egg weight increased notably in hens receiving 15 % HFLM combined with Rayabold. …”

How the body tells the story: using the nonverbal cues of trauma between mothers and toddlers to mark a change in maternal attitudes during Clinician-Assisted Videofeedback Exposur... by Suzi Tortora, Suzi Tortora, Daniel Scott Schechter, Daniel Scott Schechter

“…IntroductionThis study aims to examine what a form of video-based analysis of nonverbal communication: “Dyadic Attachment-based Nonverbal Communicative Expressions (DANCE)” can reveal about change in the bodies of interpersonal violence-exposed mothers who suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder. DANCE, developed by a dance-movement therapist (first author) was applied to video excerpts from a videofeedback, exposure- and mentalization-based, manualized intervention. …”

Study on the Mechanism of Liquid Carbon Dioxide Fracturing and Permeability Enhancement Technology in Low Permeability Thick Coal Seam by Rui Yu, Xinfeng Wang, Zhaofeng Wang, Long Wang, Xiaoqiang Zhang, Wengang Liu, Qiao Zhang

“…The numerical simulation results show that the stress concentration area around the fracturing hole appears in single-hole fracturing, and the coal seam is prone to fatigue damage in this area, but the damage range is limited, and the reduction of gas pressure after fracturing is small; the fracturing effect of double-hole and net-hole fracturing is better than that of single-hole fracturing due to the existence of sufficient critical air surface. …”
