Hot and cold exposure triggers distinct transcriptional and behavioral responses in laboratory-inbred pond snails by Veronica Rivi, Anuradha Batabyal, Cristina Benatti, Fabio Tascedda, Johanna Maria Catharina Blom, Ken Lukowiak

“…While both cold and heat shock upregulated the HSP levels in the snail's central ring ganglia, cold exposure did not affect the expression levels of the neuroplasticity genes LymGRIN1 and LymCREB1, contrasting with heat shock's neurogenic effects. Overall, this study provides insights into L. stagnalis's adaptive responses to thermal stressors, emphasizing different molecular strategies for coping with heat versus cold challenges in aquatic environments. …”

Dynamic Parameters and Hysteresis Loop Characteristics of Frozen Silt Clay under Different Cyclic Stress Paths by Furong Liu, Zhiwei Zhou, Wei Ma, Shujuan Zhang, Zhizhong Sun

“…With an increase in the number of load cycles, the shape of hysteresis loop becoming narrows, the resilient modulus decreases at the initial stage and then gradually increases, and the damping ratio stably decreases. According to contrastively analyzing the evolution of dynamic parameters and the shape features of hysteresis loops under various cyclic stress paths, it can be clearly discovered that the evolution of sample microstructure and the development of dynamic characteristics of frozen samples have obvious dependence on the cyclic stress path. …”
