In this paper, we propose using an energy-efficient and low-cost 682-nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) with 1-GHz modulation bandwidth for high-speed wireless visible light communication (VLC). Moreover, by using spectral-efficient orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) mo...

The lattice thermal conductivity (\begin{document}${\kappa _{{\rm{latt}}}}$\end{document}) of mantle minerals plays a crucial role in the heat flow and temperature distribution within the Earth. MgSiO3 akimotoite is stable at the bottom of the mantle transition zone; it transitions to MgSiO3 perovsk...

This study establishes a transient numerical model for the gas–solid two-phase flow of ultrafine dry powder fire extinguishing agents released in the confined space based on the Fluent software platform. The model investigates the spatial flow and diffusion characteristics of ultrafine dry powder un...

This study investigates the impact of technology-assisted sports training on the physiological and psychological performance of recreational exercisers (non-athletes), with particular attention to the moderating role of sport involvement (SI). A quasi-experimental design was employed, with 48 partic...

The phosphor light-emitting diode (LED) has been widely used not only for indoor illumination but for the optical transmitter (Tx) as well in visible light communication (VLC). However, the transmission data rate is significantly limited by the modulation bandwidth of LED because of the low-speed re...

The global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has a detrimental impact on public health. COVID-19 usually manifests as pneumonia, which can progress into acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) related to uncontrolled TH17 immune reaction. Currently, there is no effective therapeutic ag...

Abstract Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)‐stained histopathological slides contain abundant information about cellular and tissue morphology and have been the cornerstone of tumor diagnosis for decades. In recent years, advancements in digital pathology have made whole‐slide images (WSIs) widely appl...

Abstract C1QBP exhibits heightened expression across a spectrum of tumours, thereby fostering their proliferation and metastasis, rendering it a pivotal therapeutic target. Nevertheless, to date, no pharmacological agents capable of directly targeting and inducing the degradation of C1QBP have been...

Adynamic bone disorder, common in chronic kidney disease (CKD), results from reduced bone turnover, often due to medications such as calcimimetics or high-dose vitamin D analogs that induce low parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. Numerous factors contributing to PTH hyporesponsiveness, which also indu...

Indolent T-cell lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract (iTCL-GI) is rare, lacking standardized treatments. We report a successful venetoclax treatment in one patient with indolent T-cell lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract. A 35-year-old male was admitted due to complaints of anemia and hematoche...

Contamination of deoxynivalenol (DON) in grains is common worldwide and pigs are particularly susceptible to this mycotoxin. The distribution of DON in porcine tissues following intravenous administration was investigated in this study. Fifteen pigs were randomly divided into three groups. Animals i...

Abstract A highly electron‐rich S,N heteroacene building block is developed and condensed with FIC and Cl‐IC acceptors to furnish CT‐F and CT‐Cl, which exhibit near‐infrared (NIR) absorption beyond 1000 nm. The C‐shaped CT‐F and CT‐Cl self‐assemble into a highly ordered 3D intermolecular packing net...

To mitigate the rapid ripening by afternoon high temperature in semi-arid wine regions, grapevine artificial shading was applied in a three-year experiment (2021−2023) in China. The moderate shading (1.5 h, MD) and strong shading (2.5 h, SD) were applied in the afternoon. Climatic parameters were co...
