Data from: Microbial composition play the leading role in volatile fatty acid production in the fermentation of different scale of corn stover with rumen fluid

Rumen fluid is a natural and green biocatalyst that can efficiently degrade biomass into volatile fatty acid (VFA) used to produce value-added materials. But the essence of high degradation efficiency in the rumen has not been fully analyzed. This study investigated the contribution of substrate structure and microbial composition to volatile fatty acid production in the fermentation of corn stover. The ball milled corn stover were innovatively applied to ferment with the rumen fluid collected at different digestion times. Exogeneous cellulase was also added to the ruminal fermentation to further reveal the inner mechanism. With prolonged digestion time, the microbial community relative abundance levels of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes increased from 29.98% to 72.74% and decreased from 51.76% to 22.11%, respectively. The highest VFA production of the corn stover was achieved via treatment with the rumen fluid collected at 24 h which was up to 9508 mg/L. The ball milled corn stover achieved high VFA production because of the more accessible substrate structure. The application of exogenous cellulase has no significant influence to the ruminal fermentation. The microbial community abundance contributed more to the VFA production compared with the substrate structures.

GFDatabase: A Database of Flute Playing Techniques

GFDatabase (Geidai Flute Database) is a collection of recordings for the training of models for the real-time recognition of flute playing techniques. The database includes recordings of two flute players, a professional and a semi-professional. It includes monophonic recordings of isolated pitches of 11 flute playing techniques: aeolian, flatterzunge, key click, multiphonics, ordinario, pizzicato, play and sing, staccato, tongue ram, trill, and whistle tone. The professional player was recorded using seven microphones representing different typical studio performance recording sets (see table below) in studio A (a large recording studio) at Geidai, Tokyo University of the Arts. The recording was made using a 96kHz sampling rate and a resolution of 24 bits. <table> <tbody> <tr> <td>Microphone Model</td> <td>Distance from Source (cm)</td> <td>Height (cm)</td> <td>Number of Microphones</td> </tr> <tr> <td>DPA 4099</td> <td>33</td> <td>same height as the flutist's head</td> <td>1</td> </tr> <tr> <td>DPA 4011</td> <td>80</td> <td>same height as the flutist's head</td> <td>1</td> </tr> <tr> <td>DPA 4011</td> <td>100</td> <td>same height as the flutist's head</td> <td>1</td> </tr> <tr> <td>DPA 4006</td> <td>140</td> <td>179</td> <td>2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>DPA 4006 </td> <td>458</td> <td>277</td> <td>2</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> The semi-professional player was recorded using two microphones in studio C (a small recording studio) at Geidai, Tokyo University of the Arts.

Leaf enzyme plays a more important role in leaf nitrogen resorption efficiency than soil properties along an elevation gradient

1. Nitrogen (N) resorption is a strategy for plant N conservation through which plants withdraw N from senescing leaves prior to litterfall and its underlying mechanisms are important for better understanding of N cycling. However, most current studies focused on the impacts of soil and leaf nutrients on leaf N resorption efficiency (NRE), and plant physiological regulation that is species-dependent is still unclear. 2. Here, we conducted a field experiment to investigate the variations of leaf NRE along an altitudinal gradient in a temperate forest of Northeastern China. 3. Results showed that leaf NRE of Q. mongolica and F. mandshurica increased with altitude, while leaf NRE of T. amurensis, A. mono and A. pseudosieboldianum exhibited an opposite trend, although the relationships were not significant for F. mandshurica and A. mono. The inconsistent responses of leaf NRE of different species to increasing altitude were primarily due to the effect of leaf Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), an enzyme responsible for N translocation. Leaf GDH activity in senescing leaves explained the variation of NRE more than soil and climate factors did, suggesting that different plant species had different physiological regulation strategies for their N conservation under similar environment. 4. Synthesis. Our study highlights the role of leaf enzyme as a pivotal regulator of leaf NRE and helps us better understand and predict N cycling under climate change in forest ecosystems.

Role-playing videos of linguistic assertiveness strategies

These seven short videos show various linguistic assertiveness strategies in practice. <ol> <li> A ML speaker is greeting a group of people in a neutral way, not using the ML explicitly. </li> </ol> 2. A ML speaker is greeting a group of people explicitly in the ML. By doing this, the other ML speakers can be identified much more easily. 3. An example of pole position and of bilingual conversation. The first speaker starts the conversation in Welsh and although he gets an answer in English, her response tells him right away that the person he's talking to understands Welsh and that there is no reason to switch to English. 4. If someone doesn’t understand you the first time, that doesn’t mean he or she doesn’t understand the ML. Just repeat what you were saying. 5. An example of using pole position, repeating what you are saying and pointing. In very contextualised situations it usually gets you what you want without switching to the DL. 6. Another example of using 1. pole position, 2. repeating what you are saying and 3. pointing. 7. The strategies of pole position, bilingual conversation and how the ML speaker does not immediately switch to the DL, but instead translates the key words in the DL.

Plasticity and associated epigenetic mechanisms play a role in thermal evolution during range expansion

Due to global change many species are shifting their distribution and are thereby confronted with novel thermal conditions at the moving range edges. Especially during the initial phases of exposure to a new environment, it has been hypothesized that plasticity and associated epigenetic mechanisms enable species to cope with environmental change. We tested this idea by capitalizing on the well-documented southward range expansion of the damselfly Ischnura elegans from France into Spain where the species has invaded warmer regions in the 1950s in eastern Spain (old edge region) and in the 2010s in central Spain (new edge region). Using a common garden experiment at rearing temperatures matching the ancestral and invaded thermal regimes, we tested for evolutionary changes in (thermal plasticity in) larval life history and heat tolerance in these expansion zones. Through the use of de- and hypermethylating agents we tested whether epigenetic mechanisms play a role in enabling heat tolerance during expansion. We used the phenotype of the native sister species in Spain, I. graellsii, as proxy for the locally adapted phenotype. New edge populations converged towards the phenotype of the native species through plastic thermal responses in life history and heat tolerance while old edge populations (partly) constitutively evolved a faster life history and higher heat tolerance than the core populations, thereby matching the native species. Only the heat tolerance of new edge populations increased significantly when exposed to the hypermethylating agent. This suggests that the DNA methylation machinery is more amenable to perturbation at the new edge and shows it is able to play a role in achieving a higher heat tolerance. Our results show that both (evolved) plasticity as well as associated epigenetic mechanisms are initially important when facing new thermal regimes but that their importance diminishes with time.
