Olfactory receptors (ORs) are members of the transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor superfamily, playing a crucial role in odor recognition, which further mediates crucial biological processes in mammals.In sows, androstenone can trigger sexual behaviors through olfaction, but the underlying mechanism remains to be explored.To efficiently and acc
Tsunamis induced by rock slides plunging into fjords constitute a severe threat to local coastal communities.The rock slide impact may give rise to highly non-linear waves in the near field, and because the wave lengths are relatively short, frequency dispersion comes into play.Fjord systems are rugged with steep slopes, and modeling non-linear dis
