Who's got guts? Young infants expect animals to have insides
What are the developmental origins of our concept of animal? There has long been controversy concerning this question. At issue is whether biological reasoning develops from earlier forms of reasoning, such as physical and psychological reasoning, or whether from a young age children endow animals …

Guts, brains, complexity and creativity: immersive living and learning through the critical lens of first-person inquiry
I am a transdisciplinary practitioner who is deeply engaged in multiple professional fronts, driving the production of scientific and practice-based knowledge in the emerging field of the microbiome-gut-brain axis, also referred to as “microbiome, mental and gut health” whilst being embedded in …

Identification and characterisation of lignin degrading bacteria and enzymes fromlarval guts of the African Palm Weevil (Rhynchophorus phoenicis)
As developing economies continue to grow, the world’s demand for energy which currently stands at 84MB (million barrels oil) per day is projected to rise to 116 MB per day by the year 2030. The need to meet this continuous rise in demand for energy while lowering the emission of CO2 and other …

Culture-independent identification of gut bacteria in fourth-instar red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, larvae
… first identify what bacteria species are in the guts of larvae followed by antibiotic and microscopy work to further study their roles in the ants. The composition of the bacterial community in fire ant larvae was described with culture-independent methods utilizing 16S rDNA sequencing. The 16S …

Negative Regulation of Inflammation: Implications for Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Colitis Associated Cancer
… intestinal derived organoids, also termed “mini-guts”, which display similar features corresponding to intestinal tissue in vivo. For this reason, the use of “mini-guts” has several advantages, particularly for the enhancement of personalized medicine. The method discussed herein aims to …

Resolving Details of the Nonbiomineralized Anatomy of Trilobites Using Computed Tomographic Imaging Techniques
… the presence of early diagenetic minerals in the guts of E. kingii and C. cornutus favors an interpretation of a carnivorous feeding strategy involving separation of skeletal parts of prey prior to ingestion.

Aquatic toxicity of one dimensional carbon nanomaterials
… ingested and accumulated these CNMs in their guts. Overall, the toxicity of the CNMs (CNTs or SiCNW) appears to be the effect of the coating of respiratory surfaces or the blocking of the digestive tract of the exposed benthic invertebrates. The metals dissolution from the as-produced CNTs …

Computational and Human Learning Models of Generalized Unsafety
… generalized unsafety, as conceptualized by the GUTS model. This difference is expected to be moderated by individual differences in tonic cardiac regulation (i.e. heart rate variability). Lastly, a temporal-differences learning model was used to predict skin-conductance learning during stressor, …

Semantic Based Content Search and Content Summarization
… (Generic Unsupervised Text Summarization - GUTS), using shallow semantic document analysis and statistics. The results demonstrate that the classification algorithm significantly outperforms widely available statistical algorithms, while the ML approach yielded comparable results to other …

Comparative Serological and Molecular Analysis of Group VIII <em>Spiroplasma</em> from Australia and North America
… and are most frequently found in insect guts and phloem tubes of plants. Traditionally, <em>Spiroplasma</em> have been classified by serology. Recent work has generated 16S rDNA sequences that generally correlate with the serological findings. Although the serology and the 16S rDNA …

The Senses of Fundamentalism: A Material History of Sensing Bodies in Early Twentieth-Century American Fundamentalism
… Fundamentalists felt their faith in their guts. </p><p>Each chapter of this work explores the role of one of the senses in fundamentalist life: sight, hearing, touch, and the spiritual senses. Using visual and material evidence, I explore how fundamentalists trained their eyes to see truth …

Shape formation via elastic instabilities
… soft elastic instabilities to sculpt brains, guts and other developing organs, and human engineers are interested in using them to create shape switching devices. There is a pressing need to understand what types of elastic instability exist, what shapes they form, and how these shapes can be …

Activation and Maintenance of Intestinal Intraepithelial Lymphocytes (IELs)
… between IELs and intestinal organoids, “mini-guts”, provides an in vitro model for IELs. With this IEL-organoid co-culture system, IELs associated with the organoids survive for at least 4 days. Additional findings suggest that IELs are kept in a poised state of activation due to differences …

Aspects of the ecology and management of small mammalian predators in northern New Zealand
… most commonly occurring prey item in the ferret guts. The food habits for cats and stoats were compared between different habitats within the Northland region where these animals were collected from. There was little difference between habitats, but invertebrates occurred more frequently and …
