Temporal and spatial dynamics of rotifer communities in the Pearl River Delta (China) with emphasis on DNA metabarcoding versus morphology to assess rotifer diversity
Rotifers are essential invertebrates in freshwater ecosystems. Rotifer community structure reflects the environmental changes. To assess the diversity of rotifers in the Pearl River Delta, we investigated the ...

A low-regularity Fourier integrator for the Davey-Stewartson II system with almost mass conservation
In this work, we propose a low-regularity Fourier integrator with almost mass conservation to solve the Davey-Stewartson II system (hyperbolic-elliptic case). Arbitrary order mass convergence could be achieved...

On monotone traveling waves for Nicholson’s blowflies equation with degenerate P-Laplacian diffusion
We study the existence and stability of monotone traveling wave solutions of Nicholson’s blowflies equation with degenerate p-Laplacian diffusion. We prove the existence and nonexistence of non-decreasing smooth ...

Hydroxy Selenomethionine Exert Different Protective Effects Against Dietary Oxidative Stress–Induced Inflammatory Responses in Spleen and Thymus of Pigs
Oxidative stress (OS) is widespread in animal husbandry, which causes edema in immune organs and suppresses immune function of animals. Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element involved in immune regulation...

Circulating Selenium Level Was Positively Related to Visceral Adiposity Index with a Non-linear Trend: a Nationwide Study of the General Population
Selenium plays a role in obesity. However, whether circulating selenium levels are related to the visceral adiposity index (VAI), an indicator of obesity, is still unknown. Based on the National Health and Nut...
