While technology adoption has received widespread attention in teaching, little research has been conducted on the impact of emotional attachment and resistance to change on technology adoption by teachers, especially in the field of music. This study adopted an extended technology acceptance model...

A memory-efficient solution framework is proposed for the cardinality-constrained structured data-fitting problem. Dual-based atom-identification rules reveal the structure of the optimal primal solution from near-optimal dual solutions, which allows for a simple and computationally efficient algori...

This study examined the effect of different negative pressures and soil textures on water and salt movement to improve the efficiency of negative pressure irrigation (NPI). Four soil textures of varying fineness (Loamy Sand, Loam, Silty Loam, and Sandy Loam) and three negative pressure values (0, –5...

This paper investigates 6.5 kV SiC trench gate p-channel IGBTs using Sentaurus TCAD simulations. The proposed superjunction structure is compared to conventional designs to highlight its advantages. The p-IGBT, fabricated on an n-type substrate, offers notable commercial advantages over n-IGBTs on p...

T helper 9 (Th9) cells are a newly identified subset of effector T cells, characterized by their production of IL-9, a hallmark cytokine. Transcription factors such as PU.1 and IRF4 bind to the IL9 gene promoter and transactivate its expression. IL-9 and its associated transcription factors regulate...

Gaucher disease (GD), the most common lysosomal disorder, is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCase). Accumulation of the substrate, glycosylceramide (Gb-1), and its lysosomal derivative, glucosylsphingosine, Lyso-Gb1, are associated with immune-mediated inflammation. Patient...

The phenomenon of intron-mediated enhancement (IME) was discovered in 1990 based on the observation that plant introns can stimulate gene expression, particularly in monocots. However, the intrinsic mechanism of IME remains unclear because many studies have yielded various results depending on the p...

IntroductionThe beta-coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has been revealed to infect mammals and other species, which potentially promotes the virus adaptation to broader species and the emergence of new variants. The host range of different SARS-CoV-2 variants are mainly determined by the affinity of the recept...

A novel insecticidal gene cry1Ah was cloned from Bacillus thuringiensis isolate BT8 previously for plant genetic engineering improvement. Truncated active Cry1Ah toxin has a toxicity level similar to that of the full-length Cry1Ah toxin. In this study, plant expression vector pMhGM harboring truncat...

The spatial interpolation for soil texture does not necessarily satisfy the constant sum and nonnegativity constraints. Meanwhile, although numeric and categorical variables have been used as auxiliary variables to improve prediction accuracy of soil attributes such as soil organic matter, they (esp...

Abstract: Green manure use in China has declined rapidly since the 1980s with the extensive use of chemical fertilizers. The deterioration of field environments and the demand for green agricultural products have resulted in more attention to green manure. Human intervention and policy-oriented beha...

ABSTRACT: Objectives: To investigate the epidemiological and genetic features of common human coronaviruses (HCoVs) in Beijing in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We collected clinical samples from patients with acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) in 35 sentinel hospitals from...

Seed treatments with the neonicotinoid insecticides imidacloprid and thiamethoxam were evaluated to determine whether the chemicals at effective concentrations for aphid control would influence the germination and early growth of oilseed rape, Brassica napus. Treatment with imidacloprid or thiametho...

Using linker peptide LP4/2A for multiple gene transformation is considered to be an effective method to stack or pyramid several traits in plants. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cry gene and epsps (5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase) gene are two important genes for culturing pest-resistant an...

Understanding the effects of land use changes on the spatiotemporal variation of soil organic carbon (SOC) can provide guidance for low carbon and sustainable agriculture. In this paper, based on the large-scale datasets of soil surveys in 1982 and 2009 for Pinggu District – an urban-rural ecotone o...

Rabies is a vaccine-preventable, viral zoonotic disease caused by a lyssavirus. This study was aimed at analyzing the epidemiological characteristics of human rabies in Shanghai to provide valuable information to support accurate prevention and control. Individual-level data on human rabies and dog...

Nitrate transporters (NRTs) are regulators of nitrate assimilation and transport. The genome sequences of TaNRT2L12-A, -B and -D were cloned from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and polymorphisms were analyzed by sequencing. TaNRT2L12-D in a germplasm population was highly conserved. However, 38 singl...

Targeting tumor-initiating cells (TICs) in digestive system tumors is a feasible strategy to boost the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy. Because of their stem cell-like properties, TICs can cause tumor heterogeneity, recurrence, and resistance to conventional medicines, which can seriously impa...

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...
