Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 30(8), 2255–2269.

TL;DR: An experimental design is proposed to test the performance of both approaches, multimodel combination and data assimilation, in improving the hydrologic prediction at daily and monthly time scales, and to compare how uncertainty due to initial conditions and Hydrologic model can be dominant at the respective time scales.

Lactobacilli Dominance and Vaginal pH: Why Is the Human Vaginal Microbiome Unique?

Frontiers in Microbiology, 7(DEC).

author keywords: vaginal microbiome; lactobacilli; pH; estrogen; mammals; evolution
TL;DR: High levels of starch in human diets have led to increased levels of glycogen in the vaginal tract, which, in turn, promotes the proliferation of lactobacilli, which may have paved the way for a novel, protective microbiome in human vaginal tracts. (via Semantic Scholar)

Human Norovirus Aptamer Exhibits High Degree of Target Conformation-Dependent Binding Similar to That of Receptors and Discriminates Particle Functionality

MSPHERE, 1(6).

author keywords: aptamer; GII.4; histo-blood group antigen; infectivity; noroviruses
TL;DR: A hitherto unexplored property of a different type of ligand, a nucleic acid aptamer, to mimic receptor binding behavior and assess capsid functionality for a selected strain of norovirus is reported, suggesting that other aptamers may show promise in the study of other fastidious microorganisms.

author keywords: Hamburger safety; Measuring doneness of hamburgers; Risk communication
MeSH headings : Animals; Cooking; Food Handling; Food Safety; Humans; Meat Products; Restaurants; United States
TL;DR: The majority of servers reported an unreliable method of doneness or other incorrect information related to burger doneness and safety, and the current risk communication language in the Model Food Code does not sufficiently fill these gaps. (via Semantic Scholar)

Using evolutionary tools to search for novel psychoactive plants

Plant Genetic Resources, 14(4), 246–255.

By: M. Halse-Gramkow*, M. Ernst*, N. Rønsted*, R. Dunn n & C. Saslis-Lagoudakis*

Contributors: M. Halse-Gramkow*, M. Ernst*, N. Ronsted*, R. Dunn n & C. Saslis-Lagoudakis*

author keywords: bioprospecting; ethnobotany; medicinal plants; phylogeny; prediction
TL;DR: This work compiled a database of 501 psychoactive plant species and their properties and mapped these plant attributes on a phylogenetic tree of all land plant genera and showed that psychoactive properties are not randomly distributed on the phylogeny of land plants; instead certain plant lineages show overabundance of psycho active properties.
