To address the escalating urban heat stress driven by global warming and rapid urbanization, this study integrates multi-source remote sensing data to assess the spatiotemporal dynamics of summer thermal comfort across the Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration (YRDUA) from 2000 to 2020. By combini...

Low light efficiency and poor angular color uniformity (ACU) are the key challenges of chip-on-board packaging light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In this paper, we demonstrate a phosphor geometry, and its controlling method for enhancing the optical performance of chip-on-board packaging LEDs, its fabric...

Lunar orbiter image matching is a critical process for achieving high-precision lunar mapping, positioning, and navigation. However, with the Moon’s weak-texture surface and rugged terrain, lunar orbiter images generally suffer from inconsistent lighting conditions and exhibit varying degrees of non...

Abstract Uncontrolled degradation of wound dressings may result in residues, causing several negative effects on wound healing, such as secondary damage, undesirable inflammation, and scar skin formation. Here, an available strategy associated with the synthesis of enzyme‐loaded (Burkholderia cepaci...

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a highly malignant neoplasm of the digestive system. The primary objective of this investigation is to elucidate the intricate mechanisms underlying the role of the aging process and the related factor Epithelial membrane protein 1 (EMP1) in PC progression. We established a...

Fruit firmness is an important quality trait of apple fruit texture, and the pre-harvest ripening period is the key period for the formation of apple fruit texture. Expansin is a cell wall loosing protein family that has four subfamilies: α-expansin (EXPA), β-expansin (EXPB), expansin-like A (EXLA),...

IntroductionUnderstanding ecosystem degradation and estimating its extent are essential to enact decision-making policies in biodiversity conservation, ecosystem restoration, and management. Although many approaches have been proposed to identify the degradation status of an ecosystem, the heavy dat...

BackgroundAccurate and automated segmentation of pancreatic tumors from CT images via deep learning is essential for the clinical diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. However, two key challenges persist: (a) complex phenotypic variations in pancreatic morphology cause segmentation models to focus predomi...

Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) has demonstrated immune augmentation in preclinical studies, but direct evidence in humans is lacking. We conducted a randomized controlled trial on the addition of OMT in subjects receiving their first Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT162b2) COVID-19 vaccination in 2021....
