As ruminants are needed globally for meat, milk and other goods production on a huge scale, feed additives could offer an interesting solution to reduce CH4 emissions. Methane emission strategies are investigated to maintaining productivity and the overall health of the animal. Some strategies have shown to reduce the propagation and/or eliminate ruminal flora affecting the health and productivity of the animal. Therefore, identifying beneficial strategies leads to improving productivity and the health of the animal and environment.}, subject = {greenhouse gas}, language = {en} } @article{TomaschMaleinerHromadaetal., author = {Tomasch, Janine and Maleiner, Babette and Hromada, Carina and Szwarc-Hofbauer, Dorota and Teuschl-Woller, Andreas}, title = {Cyclic Tensile Stress Induces Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy and Myonuclear Accretion in a 3D Model}, series = {Tissue Eng.

Herein, we study the adaptation to mechanical stress and its underlying molecular mechanisms in a tissue-engineered skeletal muscle model. We subjected differentiated 3D skeletal muscle-like constructs to cyclic tensile stress using a custom-made bioreactor system, which resulted in immediate activation of stress-related signal transducers (Erk1/2, p38). Cell cycle re-entry, increased proliferation, and onset of myogenesis indicated subsequent myoblast activation. Furthermore, elevated focal adhesion kinase and β-catenin activity in mechanically stressed constructs suggested increased cell adhesion and migration. After 3 days of mechanical stress, gene expression of the fusogenic markers MyoMaker and MyoMixer, myotube diameter, myonuclear accretion, as well as S6 activation, were significantly increased. Our results highlight that we established a promising tool to study sustained adaptation to mechanical stress in healthy, hypertrophic, or regenerating skeletal muscle.}, subject = {fibrin}, language = {en} } @article{KrizekMairhofer, author = {Krizek, Gerd Christian and Mairhofer, Lukas}, title = {Notions of Completeness in the EPR Discussion}, series = {Entropy}, volume = {25}, journal = {Entropy}, number = {4}, doi = {10.3390/e25040585}, abstract = {We explore the different notions of completeness applied in the EPR discussion following and amending the thorough analysis of Arthur Fine. To this aim, we propose a classification scheme for scientific theories that provides a methodology for analyzing the different levels at which interpretive approaches come into play. This allows us to contrast several concepts of completeness that operate on specific levels of the theory. We introduce the notion of theory completeness and compare it with the established notions of Born completeness, Schr{\"o}dinger completeness and bijective completeness. We relate these notions to the recent concept of ????-completeness and predictable completeness. The paper shows that the EPR argument contains conflicting versions of completeness. The confusion of these notions led to misunderstandings in the EPR debate and hindered its progress. Their clarification will thus contribute to recent debates on interpretational issues of quantum mechanics. Finally, we discuss the connection between the EPR paper and the Einstein-Rosen paper with regard to the question of completeness.}, subject = {quantum mechanics}, language = {en} } @article{LangerLietze, author = {Langer, Karin and Lietze, Stefanie}, title = {Schreibwerkstatt.

For the description of the ruminal DM (dry matter) and CP (crude protein) degradation kinetics of treated and untreated Vicia ervilia, different models were selected as the best fit for the dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) degradation parameters of steam flaked samples. The results showed that both the steam flaking and microwave treatment samples contained high levels of non-protein nitrogen and buffer soluble protein, respectively. In comparison with steam flaking and microwave treatment, roasting decreased and increased the buffer soluble protein and neutral detergent insoluble protein, respectively. The control treatments showed the highest levels of neutral detergent soluble protein and the lowest levels of acid detergent soluble protein. Moreover, steam flaking and roasting decreased and increased the amount of acid detergent insoluble protein, respectively. When using dry heat (microwave and roasting), the acid detergent soluble and insoluble protein fractions were increased. As a result of this experiment, the nitrogen fractions were altered using heat processing.

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, symptom checkers have become increasingly important due to physical distance constraints and reduced access to in-person medical consultations. Furthermore, various symptom checkers specialised in the assessment of COVID-19 infection have been produced. Objectives Assess the correlation between COVID-19 risk assessments from an online symptom checker and current trends in COVID-19 infections. Analyse whether those correlations are reflective of various country-wise quality of life measures. Lastly, determine whether the trends found in symptom checker assessments predict or lag relative to those of the COVID-19 infections. Materials and methods In this study, we compile the outcomes of COVID-19 risk assessments provided by the symptom checker Symptoma (www.symptoma.com) in 18 countries with suitably large user bases. We analyse this dataset's spatial and temporal features compared to the number of newly confirmed COVID-19 cases published by the respective countries. Results We find an average correlation of 0.342 between the number of Symptoma users assessed to have a high risk of a COVID-19 infection and the official COVID-19 infection numbers. Further, we show a significant relationship between that correlation and the self-reported health of a country. Lastly, we find that the symptom checker is, on average, ahead (median +3 days) of the official infection numbers for most countries. Conclusion We show that online symptom checkers can capture the national-level trends in coronavirus infections. As such, they provide a valuable and unique information source in policymaking against pandemics, unrestricted by conventional resources.}, subject = {Online symptom checkers}, language = {en} } @article{WalaFelleitnerGollWechselberger, author = {Wala, Thomas and Felleitner-Goll, Katharina and Wechselberger, Harald}, title = {Stellhebel beim Aufbau von Corporate Start-ups.
