TL;DR: The compressed architecture of the U. gibba genome indicates that a small fraction of intergenic DNA, with few or no active retrotransposons, is sufficient to regulate and integrate all the processes required for the development and reproduction of a complex organism.

TL;DR: In this paper, high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) thermal spraying under different conditions was used to produce amorphous coatings with a composition of Fe(48)Cr(15),Mo(14)C(15)B(6)Y(2)

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated explosion severity parameters using a 20-L spherical vessel and numerical simulation by the program FLUENT to reveal the explosion mechanism of coal dusts.

TL;DR: Drawing from whole-genome sequences of multiple genotypes, this study documents the molecular-genetic consequences of the loss of recombination in a microcrustacean, demonstrating that loss of heterozygosity via gene conversion-like processes is a dramatically more powerful force than accumulation of new mutations.

TL;DR: It is proposed that integrative approaches marrying various subfields of biology can advance the understanding of the combined effects of stressors, and novel interdisciplinary approaches such as transcriptome profiling and mutation accumulation experiments can offer insights into how multiple stressors influence gene transcription and mutation rates across genomes.
