Framing of COVID-19 in Newspapers: A Perspective from the US-Mexico Border (open access)

Framing of COVID-19 in Newspapers: A Perspective from the US-Mexico Border

Article discusses the degree to which the media report a health emergency and how it affects the seriousness with which the people respond to combat the health crisis. After collecting relevant news articles, we used sentiment analysis, rapid automatic keyword extraction (RAKE), and co-occurrence network analysis to examine the main themes and sentiments of COVID-19 news articles.

A pseudo thermo-mechanical model linking process parameters to microstructural evolution in multilayer additive friction stir deposition of magnesium alloy (open access)

A pseudo thermo-mechanical model linking process parameters to microstructural evolution in multilayer additive friction stir deposition of magnesium alloy

Article describes how additive friction stir deposition has been proposed as a disruptive manufacturing process; involving complex thermo-mechanical mechanisms during multilayer material deposition. The primary motivation for development of the model was to seek an understanding of thermo-mechanical mechanisms and their impact on microstructural evolution during additive friction stir deposition.

The complexities of proanthocyanidin biosynthesis and its regulation in plants (open access)

The complexities of proanthocyanidin biosynthesis and its regulation in plants

Article describes how proanthocyanidins (PAs) are natural flavan-3-ol polymers that contribute protection to plants under biotic and abiotic stress, benefits to human health, and bitterness and astringency to food products. This review extends the conventional understanding with recent findings that provide new insights to address lingering questions and focus strategies for manipulating PA traits in plants.

Prebiotic/probiotic supplementation resulted in reduced visceral fat and mRNA expression associated with adipose tissue inflammation, systemic inflammation, and chronic disease risk (open access)

Prebiotic/probiotic supplementation resulted in reduced visceral fat and mRNA expression associated with adipose tissue inflammation, systemic inflammation, and chronic disease risk

Article describes how prebiotic/probiotic supplementation represents a viable option for addressing elevated systemic inflammation and chronic disease risk in overweight individuals. The key findings support that 90-day prebiotic/probiotic supplementation may be associated with reduced adipose tissue inflammation, reduced systemic inflammation, and reduced chronic disease risk.

Manipulating plasma thyroid hormone levels alters development of endothermy and ventilation in nestling red-winged blackbirds (open access)

Manipulating plasma thyroid hormone levels alters development of endothermy and ventilation in nestling red-winged blackbirds

Authors of the article propose that thyroid hormones play an important role in regulating development of endothermy during the nestling period in altricial birds. Their data suggests plasma thyroid hormone levels play an active role in the systemic development of endothermic capacity and the development of ventilatory control.

Reconstructing horizontal gene flow network to understand prokaryotic evolution (open access)

Reconstructing horizontal gene flow network to understand prokaryotic evolution

Article says that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a major source of phenotypic innovation and a mechanism of niche adaptation in prokaryotes. Methods for detecting HGT can be classified into phylogenetic-based and parametric or composition-based approaches, so authors exploited the complementary strengths of both the approaches to construct a high confidence horizontal gene flow network. The scale-free horizontal gene flow network presented here provides new insights into modes of transfer for the exchange of genetic information and also illuminates differential gene flow across phyla.

Three Component Cascade Reaction of Cyclohexanones, Aryl Amines, and Benzoylmethylene Malonates: Cooperative Enamine-Brønsted Acid Approach to Tetrahydroindoles (open access)

Three Component Cascade Reaction of Cyclohexanones, Aryl Amines, and Benzoylmethylene Malonates: Cooperative Enamine-Brønsted Acid Approach to Tetrahydroindoles

Article discusses how a three-component cascade reaction comprising cyclic ketones, arylamines, and benzoylmethylene malonates has been developed to access 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indoles. Furthermore, the reaction was achieved through cooperative enamine-Brønsted catalysis in high yields with wide substrate scopes.
