- The collection and real-time transmission of emergency environmental information are crucial for rapidly assessing the on-site situation of sudden disasters and responding promptly. However, the acquisition of emergency environmental information, particularly its seamless transmission, faces significant challenges under complex terrain and limited ground communication. This paper utilizes sensors, line-of-sight communication with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), […]
- Abstract: Nanobodies have gained attention as potential therapeutic and diagnostic agents for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) due to their ability to bind and neutralize the virus. However, rapid, scalable, and robust production of nanobodies for SARS-CoV-2 remains a crucial challenge. In this study, we developed a visual and high-efficiency biomanufacturing method for […]
- Exercise physiology is a crucial scientific discipline that explores the complex manner in which physical activity influences the physiological responses and adaptations of the human body […]
- Population aging and urbanization are two of the most significant social transformations of the 21st century. Against the backdrop of rapid aging in China, developing age-friendly community environments, particularly through the renovation of legacy residential communities, not only supports active and healthy aging but also promotes equity and sustainable development. This study focuses on residential […]
- Introduction: T2DM mellitus (T2DM) is a major global health issue associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and economic burden. While the role of lifestyle factors in glycemic control is well-established, the influence of oral health behaviors remains underexplored. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the interplay between lifestyle habits, oral health behaviors, and glycemic control in […]
- Many pharmaceutical active compounds are prepared as hydrochlorides for quick release in the gastrointestinal tract upon oral administration. Their inadvertent escape into the water environment requires efficient analytical separation for accurate quantitation to monitor their environmental fate. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how best to optimize a capillary electrophoresis method for the […]
- The detection of road features is a necessary approach to achieve autonomous driving. And lane lines are important two-dimensional features on roads, which are crucial for achieving autonomous driving. Currently, research on lane detection mainly focuses on the positioning detection of local features without considering the association of long-distance lane line features. A grid anchor […]
- With the widespread adoption of electric vehicles, the power converter, as a key component, plays a crucial role. Traditional fault detection methods often face challenges in real-time performance and computational efficiency, making it difficult to meet the demands of electric vehicle power converters for efficient and accurate fault diagnosis. To address this challenge, this paper […]
- Background/Objectives: Preoperative muscle atrophy leads to persistent gait abnormalities in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). Efficient motor learning of the gluteus medius is crucial for their recovery. In this study, a single-joint hybrid assistive limb (HAL) was developed to assist hip abduction. We aimed to evaluate the muscle activity and safety of this device […]
- Background/Objectives: A positive intraoperative bile culture (bacterobilia) is considered to be a risk factor for increased morbidity after pancreatoduodenectomy. The aim of our study was to describe the frequency of bacterobilia with a special emphasis on antibiotic resistance and to analyze the association of these findings with postoperative complications, in particular with postoperative pancreatic fistula. […]
- Eosinophilic esophagitis is a chronic, antigen-driven, immune-mediated disease characterized by esophageal dysfunction and significant eosinophilic infiltration. Its rising incidence and prevalence over recent decades reflect both increased clinical awareness and the influence of environmental factors such as dietary patterns and allergen exposure. Among food allergens, cow’s milk proteins are the most commonly implicated triggers, contributing […]
- Current methods for underwater image enhancement primarily focus on single-frame processing. While these approaches achieve impressive results for static images, they often fail to maintain temporal coherence across frames in underwater videos, which leads to temporal artifacts and frame flickering. Furthermore, existing enhancement methods struggle to accurately capture features in underwater scenes. This makes it […]
- More and more attention has been paid to ships with a DC power grid. State-of-charge (SOC) estimation is a pivotal and challenging assignment for lithium-ion batteries in such ships. However, the precision of SOC estimation is strongly connected with the system parameters. To better identify these parameters in lithium-ion batteries, a differential evolution (DE) algorithm […]
- This study investigates the biorefinery approach to extracting blood–brain barrier (BBB)-permeable compounds from Eucalyptus globulus Labill. and Salvia officinalis L. for neuroprotective purposes. A sequential extraction process was applied, starting with supercritical CO2 extraction (SC-CO2) to obtain non-polar terpenoids, followed by pressurized natural deep eutectic solvent extraction (PLE-NaDES) to recover phenolic compounds from the SC-CO2 […]
- Technological advancements have enabled the active control of electromagnetic waves. Metalenses, known for their precision in wavefront shaping and functional versatility, represent a breakthrough in optical modulation. This study addresses the challenge of achieving dual-wavelength multifunctionality in metalens design. We developed and experimentally validated metalenses with polarization dual-function multiplexing at discrete mid-wave infrared wavelengths, demonstrating […]
- The Huaihe River Basin is particularly vulnerable to climate change. This paper first evaluated interpolation methods for different meteorological elements, followed by an assessment of the simulation performance of various Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 (CMIP5) Global Climate Models (GCMs) for these elements. We then applied the Improved Quantile Mapping (IQM) method for bias correction […]
- During switching in electrical systems, transient electromagnetic processes occur. The resulting dangerous current surges are best studied by computer simulation. However, the time required for computer simulation of such processes is significant for complex electromagnetic devices, which is undesirable. The use of spectral methods can significantly speed up the calculation of transient processes and ensure […]
- Paracetamol-4,4′-bipyridine cocrystals were synthesized using a solution method, reflux method, grinding method, and ultrasonic method. The structures and properties were characterized through the utilization of single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), polarized light microscopy (PLM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), elemental analysis (EA), and infrared spectroscopy (IR). The results show that the four methods synthesized […]
