ROAMING IN A LAND OF MILK AND HONEY: LIFE TRAJECTORIES AND METABOLIC RATE OF FEMALE INBRED MICE LIVING IN A SEMI NATURALISTIC ENVIRONMENT

Roaming in a Land of Milk and Honey: Life Trajectories and Metabolic Rate of Female Inbred Mice Living in a Semi Naturalistic Environment

Despite tremendous efforts at standardization, the results of scientific studies can vary greatly, especially when considering animal research.It is important to emphasize that consistent different personality-like traits emerge and accumulate over time in laboratory mice despite genetic and environmental standardization.To understand to what exten

Moving toward elucidating alternative motor pathway structures post-stroke: the value of spinal cord neuroimaging

Stroke results in varying levels of motor and sensory disability that have been linked to the neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation that occur in the infarct and peri-infarct regions within the brain.Specifically, previous research has identified a key role of the corticospinal tract in motor dysfunction and motor recovery post-stroke.Of note, ne

Quantifying the uncertainties of climate change effects on the storage-yield and performance characteristics of the Pong multi-purpose reservoir, India

Climate change is predicted to affect water resources infrastructure due to its effect on rainfall, temperature and evapotranspiration.However, there are huge uncertainties on both the magnitude and direction of these effects.The Pong reservoir on the Beas River in northern India serves irrigation and hydropower needs.The hydrology of the catchment

Disk compression of k-mer sets

Abstract K-mer based methods have become prevalent in many areas of bioinformatics.In applications such as database search, they often work with large multi-terabyte-sized datasets.Storing such large datasets is a detriment to tool developers, tool users, and reproducibility efforts.General purpose compressors like gzip, or those designed TRIBULUS
