Abstract Animal mitochondrial gene expression relies on specific interactions between nuclear-encoded aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases and mitochondria-encoded tRNAs.Their evolution involves an antagonistic interplay between strong mutation pressure on mtRNAs and selection pressure to maintain their essential function.To understand the molecular conseque
Introduction: Laminitis is a debilitating disorder resulting in irreversible anatomical changes in the feet of equids.Assessing specific anatomical features through radiography and venography provides diagnostic and prognostic information.The reference ranges are well-established in horses, but not in donkeys.It is also uncertain as to whether thes
Laser butt welding of thin steel sheets without filler material was widely used in many Tinctures industrial fields.However, it was very difficult to focus the small laser spot on the narrow gap between the sheets during the laser butt welding process.In this study, a new method to weld thin steel sheets using a high-speed laser cladding technique
Abstract Selenium (Se), an essential trace element, is inserted as selenocysteine into an array of functional proteins and forms the core of various enzymes that play a cardinal role in antioxidant defense mechanisms, in redox regulation, and in thyroid hormone metabolism.Variations in plasma Se are due to nutritional habits, geographic and ethnic
