The chloroplast FtsZ ring (Z ring) is assembled by two distinct FtsZ proteins, FtsZ2 and FtsZ1 (referred to as FtsZA and FtsZB in red algae). FtsZ2 confers stability to the Z ring, while FtsZ1 enhances its dynamics. Enhanced Z-ring dynamics is essential for Z-ring remodeling, which drives chloroplas...

Multiple-input&#x2013;multiple-output (MIMO) radar has received much attention in recent years for its great ability in imaging. However, the essence of MIMO radar has not been fully implemented due to the lack of proper transmission waveforms. In MIMO radar, the transmission waveform of each ch...

An on-chip, high-extinction-ratio transverse electric (TE) pass polarizer utilizing a silicon oxynitride (SiON) slab has been proposed and experimentally verified. The power confinement ratio of the mode field is manipulated by using a SiON slab, where most of the power of the transverse magnetic (T...

Abstract Water use efficiency (WUE, the ratio of gross primary productivity to evapotranspiration (ET)) is a robust indicator of ecosystem response to climate change, with soil moisture serving as a crucial determinant. Soil moisture varies across soil layers due to ET and soil structure, thereby di...

Soil responds to cavity expansion is inherently rate-dependent, especially in the case of fine-grained soils. To better understand such rate effects, self-boring pressuremeter tests were conducted on Kunming peaty soil within a strain rate range of 0.1%/min to 5.0%/min. The results showed a clear de...

In this paper, a high-precision digital rotary encoder based on dot-matrix gratings (DMGs) is proposed for detecting shaft rotation. The DMG-based encoder is composed of a laser diode, a beam-shaping lens, a code disc, and a detector. In principle, a shaped rectangular beam illuminates a stripe of D...

Inflammation is an essential part of the immune response to injury and infection. Emerging evidence indicates that long-term low-grade inflammation is positively correlated with many diseases, such as cancer, metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. Due to common anti-inflammatory drugs are...
