Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major age-related disease, which may be caused by the accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). Excessive degradation of type II collagen and aggrecan by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif (...

In this paper, we propose a neural network method to solve time-fractional diffusion equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions by using a combination of machine learning techniques and Method of Lines. We first used the Method of Lines to discretize the equation in the space domain while keeping...

High-speed directly modulated distributed feedback (DFB) laser is crucial for high-speed optical communication systems. The modulation bandwidth and frequency chirp of such devices are primarily affected by the differential gain and linewidth enhancement factor (LEF) of the quantum wells (QWs) in th...

BackgroundThe precise relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and all-cause mortality in older adults remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to investigate the association between BMD and all-cause mortality and to explore the mediating role of body mass index (BMI) in adults aged...

Heading date was an important trait that decided the adaptation of wheat to environments. It was modified by genes involved in vernalization response, photoperiod response and development rate. In this study, four loci Xgwm261, Xgwm219, Xbarc23 and Ppd-D1 which were previously reported related to he...

As a novel energy-saving and maneuvering device for ships, the gate rudder system (GRS) functions similarly to an accelerating duct. While providing additional thrust, its independently controllable rudder blades on either side of the propeller also enhance ship maneuverability. The GRS was first fu...

PurposePortable metabolic systems are used as the “gold standard” for measuring energy expenditure (EE) in the development and validation of wearable devices. This study aimed to compare EE measurements obtained using the COSMED K5 (K5) and CORTEX METAMAX 3B (M3B) during the resting state and submax...

Background: Macrophage polarization is a complex process whereby macrophages differentiate into M1 (pro-inflammatory) or M2 (anti-inflammatory) phenotypes, mediating distinct and often opposing functions in immunity and tissue repair. Methods: We analyzed LINC00461 expression in M1- and M2-polarized...
