TL;DR: It is shown here that genetic modification of switchgrass can produce phenotypically normal plants that have reduced thermal-chemical, enzymatic, and microbial recalcitrance, which has the potential to lower processing costs for biomass fermentation-derived fuels and chemicals significantly.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the relationship between environmental predictors and the geographical distribution of species richness, body size, range size and abundance in 97 multi-factorial data sets and concluded that the ecological importance of regression coefficients cannot be evaluated with confidence irrespective of whether spatially explicit or non-spatial modeling is used.

TL;DR: The authors compared specific acceptance-based strategies and cognitive-controlbased strategies for coping with experimentally induced pain and found that ACT participants showed significantly higher tolerance to pain and lower believability of experienced pain compared to the CONT condition.

TL;DR: Acute decompensation without ACLF is a heterogeneous condition with three different clinical courses and two major pathophysiological mechanisms: systemic inflammation and portal hypertension.

TL;DR: It was found that local species richness and abundance typically peaked at higher latitudes, displaying patterns opposite to those observed in aboveground organisms, which suggest that climate change may have serious implications for earthworm communities and for the functions they provide.
