Food Habits of Raccoon Dogs at An Agricultural Area in Shikoku, Western Japan
Zoolog Sci. 2024 Apr;41(2):185-191. doi: 10.2108/zs230051.ABSTRACTThe diet of raccoon dogs, which live in close proximity to agricultural fields in Matsuyama, western Japan, was studied throughout the year by the fecal analysis method (n = 114). Fruits were most important, accounting for 30-40% of the diet except in winter. Crops were next in importance, accounting for 10-30%. It was characteristic that the proportion of crops was greater and more stable than in other "satoyama" or rural areas in Japan. Crops included rice (Oryza sativa), wheat, sesame (Sesamum indicum), strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa), kiwi fruit (Act...

GSE171618 RNA-seq analysis CARM1 inhibitor Ellagic acid effect on MDA-MB-231 cells
Contributors : Dandan Feng ; Yan WangSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Homo sapiensEllagic acid is a kind of polyphenol lactone, which is widely found in various fruits and nuts. It ’s the natural inhibitor of CARM1. Ellagic acid was reported to inhibit breast cancer growth and metastasis. But the mechanism of Ellagic acid has not been investivaged clearly in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Our results indicate that direct inhibition of CDK4 by Ellagic acid limits breas t cancer proliferation and metastasis. Our research has determined the molecular basis of Ellagic acid e...

First description of adenosine production by Gnomoniopsis smithogilvyi, causal agent of chestnut brown rot
AbstractGnomoniopsis smithogilvyi (Gnomoniaceae,Diaporthales) is the main causal agent of chestnut brown rot on sweet chestnut worldwide. The rotting of nuts leads to alterations in the organoleptic qualities and decreased fruit production, resulting in significant economic losses. In 2021, there was an important outbreak of chestnut rot in southern Galicia (Spanish northwest). The profile of secondary metabolites fromG. smithogilvyi was studied, especially to determine its capability for producing mycotoxins, as happens with other rotting fungi, due to the possible consequences on the safety of chestnut consumption. Secon...

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2108: Spatially Explicit Active Learning for Crop-Type Mapping from Satellite Image Time Series
ijker
The availability of a sufficient number of annotated samples is one of the main challenges of the supervised methods used to classify crop types from remote sensing images. Creating these samples is time-consuming and costly. Active Learning (AL) offers a solution by streamlining sample annotation, resulting in more efficient training with less effort. Unfortunately, most of the developed AL methods overlook spatial information inherent in remote sensing images. We propose a novel spatially explicit AL that uses the semi-variogram to identify and discard redundant, spatially adjacent samples. It was evaluated usi...
