Ferroptosis is a form of regulated necrosis associated with the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides that may play a key role in the pathogenesis of degenerative diseases in which lipid peroxidation has been implicated. High-throughput screening efforts have identified ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) and liproxstatin-1 (Lip-1) as potent inhibitors of ferroptosis - an activity that has been...

Remarkable correspondences between ganzfeld mentation and target content have been reported since the start of ganzfeld experiments in parapsychology. These correspondences may be due either to some form of anomalous information transfer (e.g., telepathy) or to a cognitive illusion on the part of the perceiver. This paper presents 4 studies conducted in order to investigate which of these two p...

OBJECTIVE To compare the perinatal outcome of singleton siblings conceived differently. DESIGN National population-based registry study. SETTING Denmark, from 1994 to 2008. PATIENT(S) Pairs of siblings (13,692 pairs; n = 27,384 children) conceived after IVF, intracytoplasmatic sperm injection (ICSI), frozen embryo replacement (FER), or spontaneous conception subcategorized into five group...

The present study examined the effects of thought suppression on sleep-onset mentation. It was hypothesized that the decrease of attentional control in the transition to sleep would lead to a rebound of a suppressed thought in hypnagogic mentation. Twenty-four young adults spent two consecutive nights in a sleep laboratory. Half of the participants were instructed to suppress a target thought, ...

Dissolved hydrogen (dH) influences the pathways of VFA production and is a precursor of methane formation in the rumen. Measurements of dH in rumen fluid taken at the same time as measuring other rumen fermentation end products would improve our quantitative understanding of the role of dH as a controller of rumen fermentation. Sample collections though a rumen cannula and using oral stomach tu...

Dreaming is an expression of vivid imagery with a seemingly storylike structure (1-3). Early observations (4,5) temporally linked vivid dreaming with REM sleep, an association which many took to be an exclusive one (e.g., 6-8). However, when the definition of dreaming was expanded to include more general forms of cognition (9), more serious consideration was given to the notion that dreaming is...

A picture is worth a thousand words to convey information during daily life communication. Recognizing person’s emotions from facial expressions (FEs) has become prevalent research field in the past few decades. Deep learning (DL) models, mainly deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs), are trending last years perform recognition/classification tasks. Several prior DCNNs have resulted good re...

Hydrogen is a central metabolite in rumen fermentation and its partial pressure is an important determinant of rumen methanogenesis. The balance of hydrogen ion (H+) and dissolved hydrogen gas (H2) concentrations directly determine the redox potential of the rumen and therefore the possible extent of oxidation of feedstuffs. Differential permeability of the bacterial membrane to H+ and H2 means...

Iron mobilization responses are induced by low iron supply at transcriptional level. In tomato, the basic helix-loop-helix gene FER is required for induction of iron mobilization. Using molecular-genetic techniques, we analyzed the function of BHLH029, named FRU (FER-like regulator of iron uptake), the Arabidopsis thaliana homolog of the tomato FER gene. The FRU gene was mainly expressed in roo...
