Mulberry leaf is widely used in ruminants feeding, such as sheep, beef cattle, and dairy calves. Due to the high content of crude fiber in mature mulberry leaves and branches and the presence of anti-nutritional factors such as tannin, excessive addition will affect the production performance and health of livestock an...
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of feeding fermented mulberry leaf powder (FMLP) on growth performance, slaughter performance, and meat quality of broilers. A total of 360 1-day-old chickens were randomly divided into 5 groups. The control group was fed basal diet (CON), 3% FMLP, 6% FMLP, 9% FMLP, a...

Automated training devices are commonly used for investigating learning, memory, and other cognitive functions in warm-blood vertebrates, whereas manual training procedures are the standard in fish and other lower vertebrates, thus limiting comparison among species. Here, we directly compared the two different approach...
The growing use of teleosts in comparative cognition and in neurobiological research has prompted many researchers to develop automated conditioning devices for fish. These techniques can make research less expensive and fully comparable with research on warm-blooded species, in which automated devices have been used f...
1. IntroductionThe study of learning, memory and perception in animals has, since its inception, benefited from the use of automated training equipment. The use of these methods offers a two-fold advantage. First, they reduce the time needed for training and the related human labor required. Some experiments, especiall...

The aim of this study was to characterize the RHU competencies according to the distance (short vs. long), causes of deaths, and associated risk factors. The studied population comprised 16,856 horses that participated in RHU rides from 2007 to 2018. During the entire period, there were 99 fatalities. The percentage of...
RHU is the oldest endurance sport in Uruguay. However, despite 80 years of racing, there are no studies to characterize this type of competition, explore rates and causes of death, and identify the associated risk factors. The aim was to characterize the Raid Hipico Uruguayo (RHU) competencies according to the distance...

Dataset Card for SciLay

Dataset Summary

SciLay comprises 43,790 instances, each representing a scientific article in the biomedical domain. Each instance in the dataset includes the following components:

  • plain_text: Containing a plain language summary of the scientific article. This section is written in a simple and accessible language, and is intended to be understandable by a wide audience.
  • technical_text: This section contains the abstract of the scientific article. It provides a detailed and technical description of the research conducted in the article.
  • full_text: This section contains the complete article of the scientific research.

In addition to the textual content, each instance is associated with the following metadata: - Keywords: Keywords that capture the main topics and themes addressed in the article. - Journal: The journal in which the article is published, providing context about the source of the research. - DOI (Digital Object Identifier): A unique identifier for the article, facilitating easy referencing.

The main objective of the SciLay dataset is to support the development and evaluation of text summarization models that can effectively simplify complex scientific language while retaining the essential information. Each article is published by a scientific journal. There are 15 journal sources:

  • NC: Nature Communications
  • A: Animals : an Open Access Journal from MDPI
  • PLGEN: PLoS Genetics
  • PLPAT: PLoS Pathogens
  • PLCB: PLoS Computational Biology
  • PLNTD: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
  • B: Biology
  • I: Insects
  • PLB: PLoS Biology
  • CB: Communications Biology
  • SD: Scientific Data
  • MBIO: mBio
  • C: Cancers
  • OTHER: which includes additional journals that taken individually would not have contributed sufficient instances

Current defaults are 1.0.0 version (cased raw strings) and 'all' journals:

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("disi-unibo-nlp/SciLay")  # default is 'all' journals
ds = load_dataset("disi-unibo-nlp/SciLay", "all")  # the same as above
ds = load_dataset("disi-unibo-nlp/SciLay", "NC")  # only 'NC' journal (Nature Communications)
ds = load_dataset("disi-unibo-nlp/SciLay", journals=["NC", "A"])

  'plain_text': 'PPP3CA is one of the candidate genes for goat reproduction, but no studies have been carried out yet. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the associations between copy number variations in the goat PPP3CA gene and litter size and semen quality in goats, including Shaanbei white cashmere goats (SBWC) (n = 353) and Guizhou Heima (GZHM) goats (n = 64). Based on the association analysis, the results showed that only CNV1 (copy number variation 1) and CNV2 (copy number variation 2) were distinctly related to the first-birth litter size in female goats (p = 7.6802 × 10−11; p = 5.0895 × 10−9), and they were also significantly associated with the semen quality of SBWC goats (p < 0.05). These findings prove that the PPP3CA gene plays an important role in reproduction traits in goats.',
  'technical_text': 'Copy number variations (CNVs) have many forms of variation structure, and they play an important role in the research of variety diversity, biological evolution and disease correlation. Since CNVs have a greater impact on gene regulation and expression, more studies are being finalized on CNVs in important livestock and poultry species. The protein phosphatase 3 catalytic subunit alpha (PPP3CA) is a key candidate gene involved in the goat fecundity trait, and has important effects on precocious puberty, estrogen signal transduction pathways and oocyte meiosis. Additionally, PPP3CA also has a dephosphorylation effect in the process of spermatogonial stem cell meiosis and spermatogenesis. So far, there is no research on the relationship between the copy number variations of the PPP3CA gene and reproduction traits. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the association between copy number variations in the goat PPP3CA gene and litter size and semen quality in Shaanbei white cashmere goats (SBWC) (n = 353) and Guizhou Heima goats (n = 64). Based on the association analysis, the results showed that only CNV1 and CNV2 within the PPP3CA gene were distinctly related to the first-birth litter size in female goats (p = 7.6802 × 10−11; p = 5.0895 × 10−9, respectively) and they were also significantly associated with the semen quality of SBWC goats (p < 0.05). In addition, individuals with Loss genotypes demonstrated better phenotypic performance compared to those with other types. Therefore, CNV1 and CNV2 of the PPP3CA gene are potentially useful for breeding, as they are linked to important goat reproduction traits.',
