REMARKABLE PROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF NRF2-MEDIATED ANTIOXIDANT ENZYMES AND TISSUE SPECIFICITY IN DIFFERENT SKELETAL MUSCLES OF DAURIAN GROUND SQUIRRELS OVER THE TORPOR-AROUSAL CYCLE

Hibernating mammals experience conditions of extreme oxidative stress, such as fasting, muscle disuse, and repeated hypoxic ischemia-reperfusion, during the torpor-arousal cycle.Despite this, they experience little oxidative injury and are thus an interesting model of anti-oxidative damage.Thus, in the current study, we explored the levels and unde

Delta robot is typically mounted on a frame and performs high speed pick and place tasks from top to bottom.Because of its outstanding accelerating capability and higher center of mass, the Delta robot can generate significant frame vibration.Existing trajectory smoothing methods mainly focus on vibration reduction for the robot instead of the fram

Abstract Background Effective communication between sexual partners is essential for successful reproduction.Avian parents with biparental incubation need to know how to negotiate, when and who will incubate, and how to harmonize partner exchange at the nest.Although considerable effort has been dedicated to studies of incubation rhythms, few studi

Characterizing the size distribution of raindrops is fundamental to a variety of applications, including radar-based quantitative precipitation estimation.Atmospheric radars or wind profilers can be used to measure the drop size distribution (DSD) by analyzing the Doppler spectrum, which is inherently linked to raindrop velocity.This is achieved by
