To address the interception problem against maneuvering targets, this paper proposes a multi-agent cooperative guidance law based on a multi-directional interception formation. A three-dimensional agent–target engagement kinematics model is established, and a fixed-time observer is designed to estim...

Mechanism of discontinuous precipitation (DP) in AZ80 alloy was investigated by phase-orientation correlated characterization. The results show DPs nucleate by turning the original grain boundaries (GBs) as reaction front (RF), and further driving the RF to realize their growth. The DPs regions reta...

Background Premenstrual disorders (PMDs) are prevalent and impair women’s quality of life, but their long-term influence on work capacity is unclear. Understanding the association between PMDs and subsequent sick leave and unemployment could inform interventions and policies.Objective We hypothesise...

With the increasing complexity of ecological and environmental problems, eco-anxiety is increasingly recognized as an essential problem in China. Despite its prevalence, there is a lack of valid measurements in China. The purpose of the present study was to expand the Hogg Eco-anxiety Scale (HEAS) u...

Background: Aspergillus terreus (A. terreus) is an opportunistic fungal pathogen increasingly reported among immunocompromised individuals, particularly those admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). Due to its intrinsic resistance to amphotericin B and partial resistance to azoles, treatment remain...

The role of alveolar macrophages (AMs) in lung carcinogenesis has been extensively studied, yielding significant insights. However, the status of AMs in tumor-bearing lungs remains incompletely characterized. Using orthotopic Lewis Lung Carcinoma (LLC) mouse models, we found that tumors induced an i...

Systemic delivery of adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) to the central nervous system (CNS) is insufficient due to hindrance from the tight junctions of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). While peptide-display-based AAV engineering has advanced CNS-targeting capsid development, traditional strateg...

Background/purpose: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is recognized as a premalignant condition that increases the risk of oral cancer. Myofibroblasts are the primary cellular mediators of the pathological fibrosis characteristic of OSF. Consequently, understanding the molecular mechanisms that drive my...

This study evaluated the impacts of dietary Alpinia oxyphylla extract (AO) on growth, muscle composition, antioxidant status, immunity, and ammonia resistance of juvenile ivory shell (Babylonia areolata). Six experimental diets (AO1, AO2, AO3, AO4, AO5, and AO6) with varying AO levels (0, 1, 2, 4, 6...

ABSTRACT Background Mutations in the WFS1 gene are implicated in Wolfram syndrome (WS), Wolfram‐like syndrome (WFLS), and maturity‐onset diabetes of the young (MODY). Wolfram syndrome 1 (WFS1) is a diabetes‐related gene encoding wolframin, a glycoprotein with nine transmembrane domains localized in...

As a soft X-ray imager with an unprecedentedly large field of view, Einstein Probe (EP)/Wide-field X-ray Telescope (WXT) has detected many (fast) X-ray transients, whose nature is very intriguing. Whether there is a gamma-ray counterpart for the X-ray transient provides important implications for it...
