Evolution and function of heat shock protein 90 in economic shellfish: A review.

The phylum Mollusca is one of the most diverse groups, second only to arthropods, whose production through aquaculture and wild capture is increasing due to its nutritional and economic values, especially its protein availability for human consumption. However, the negative influence caused by pathogen infection and environmental challenges has led to low aquaculture productivity and economic losses for shellfish farmers. Heat shock proteins, as molecular chaperones, contribute to the folding of nascent proteins, environmental adaptation, the immune response, etc.

Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, Veterinary Diagnostic and Production Animal Medicine, Iowa State University, IA, USA. Electronic address:

Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) was identified in 2016 and has since been associated with reproductive failure, multisystemic inflammation, and subclinical infection in swine. Numerous countries have retrospectively detected the presence of PCV3 before its first clinical description in 2016. The reported detection rate of PCV3 has varied from 6.

Flying vertebrates use specialized wingbeat kinematics in hovering, takeoff, and landing, featuring ventrally anterior downstrokes and aerodynamically inactive upstrokes to enhance aerodynamic characteristics at low airspeeds. Rarely implemented in robotics, this inspired RoboFalcon2.0, a flapping-wing robot with reconfigurable mechanisms performing bioinspired flap-sweep-fold (FSF) motion for controlled bird-style takeoff.

This study presents a novel application of a Probabilistic Bayesian Neural Network (PBNN) for estimating vocal function variables and enhancing non-invasive ambulatory voice monitoring by addressing aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties in regression tasks. The proposed PBNN allows for estimating key physiological parameters including subglottal pressure, vocal fold contact pressure, thyroarytenoid, and cricothyroid muscle activations, from seven aerodynamic and acoustic features. The PBNN is trained on the Triangular Body-Cover Model (TBCM) of the vocal folds to produce a non-linear inverse mapping between its inputs and outputs.
