Fertility in mammals is influenced by the interaction between spermatozoa and the female reproductive tract. While sperm has traditionally been regarded as passive carriers of paternal DNA, there is growing evidence that they actively influence the oviductal environment. In cattle and other speci...

The genus Phaeoclavulina is characterized by coralloid basidiomata with complex branching patterns and diverse pigmentation. Here, two new species, Phaeoclavulina fruticosa sp. nov. and P. qinghaiensis sp. nov., were discovered in high-elevation coniferous forests (ca. 2870 m) on the Qinghai-Xiza...

Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) that tolerate heavy metals may enhance phosphorus availability in contaminated soils and provide candidates for bio-based management.PSB were isolated from farmland rhizosphere soil and screened on tricalcium phosphate medium. Soluble phosphorus (soluble P) w...

In 1978 Métivier showed that a linear differential operator P with analytic coefficients is elliptic if and only if the theorem of iterates holds for P with respect to any non-analytic Gevrey class. In this paper we extend this theorem to Denjoy-Carleman classes given by strongly non-qu...

Hospital-associated deconditioning is complex and multifactorial and has been shown to be closely linked to immobility, which, in turn, has serious consequences. Additionally, pain is seen as one major contributing factor impeding mobility and, therefore, increasing immobility. This study aimed t...
