This images shows two years of ensemble projections (rainbow lines) generated by the COVID-19 Scenario Modeling Hub and real-world COVID-19 data (black lines). Different rounds of projections—the hub produced 16 rounds of projections, each of which predicted anywhere from three months to a year of pandemic outcomes—are represented by different colors. For each round, four … Read more
Population structure analysis results of 100 proso millet accessions: clustering diagram at K = 2, at K = 3 and at K = 5. Credit: Agronomy (2023). DOI: 10.3390/agronomy13102514 Compared to other cereals, millet (Panicum miliaceum L) has an important advantage—resistance to a more arid climate. Millet contains all the essential amino acids, 10%–15% of … Read more
Frequencies of different magnitude and significance trends. Credit: Research Synthesis Methods (2023). DOI: 10.1002/jrsm.1691 A large study, led by academics from Royal Holloway, University of London, found research used by policy-makers regarding conservation and environmental management is unstable over time and can quickly become out of date: presenting a serious potential threat to evidence-based decision-making. … Read more
Sensory pathways in Drosophila to detect and avoid 2MT are shown. Flies escape from 2MT through olfactory, taste, and nociceptive sensory pathways. This study identified that TRPA1 expressed in taste and nociceptive sensory neurons play a major role in 2MT-induced aversive behaviors. Evaporated 2MT is also detected by ORs in olfactory pathway.
