Recent observations indicate that both the Milky Way bulge and inner halo exhibit angular momentum, although the origin and evolution of this prograde signature remain ambiguous. One plausible scenario involves secular evolution induced by the central bar and spiral arms. In this study, we identifie...

For quality control of buckwheat, fingerprint-efficacy study of buckwheat was carried out in this work. 2,2′-Bipyridyl,2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) scavenging activity of the buckwheat was measured using UV spectrometer. Chemical fingerprints of tartary buckwheat from 29 different so...

The wavefront sensor (WFS), equipped with an electron-multiplying charge-coupled device (EMCCD) detector, is a critical component of the Cool Planets Imaging Coronagraph (CPI-C) on the Chinese Space Station Telescope (CSST). Precise calibration of the WFS’s EMCCD detector is essential to meet the st...

Climate change has a significant impact on agriculture. However, the impact investigation is currently limited to the analysis of meteorological data, and there is a dearth of long-term monitoring of crop phenology and soil moisture associated with climate change. In this study, temperature and prec...

We explore the density profile, shape, and virial mass of the Milky Way’s dark matter halo, using K giants (KGs) from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)/SEGUE as well as blue horizontal branch stars (BHBs) from SDSS. Incorporating Gaia D...

Lithium is an ancient element that was first produced by the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) a few minutes after the birth of the Universe. Lithium is a sensitive tracer for a number of processes in a variety of astrophysical environments due to its multi-channels of production and fragility. These f...

A real-time RT-PCR assay using TaqMan-MGB probes was developed to detect and type the bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) in cattle. Universal primers and TaqMan-MGB probes were designed from the 5′-untranslated region of known pestiviral sequences. Prior to optimizing the assay, cRNAs were transcrib...

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune disorder of the peripheral nervous system. There is no consensus regarding reported associations between human leukocyte antigen DQB1 (HLA-DQB1) polymorphisms and the risk for developing GBS. Here, we evaluated possible associations between HLA-DQB1 pol...
