We report on the first observation, to the best of our knowledge, of soliton explosions in an ultrafast fiber laser mode-locked by nonlinear polarization evolution. The soliton explosion is a transition state between stable mode-locking and noise-like pulses regimes. By tuning the waveplates and the...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive anti-tumor treatment modality that relies on the cytotoxicity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by light-activated photosensitizers. However, traditional photosensitizers only produce ROS upon photoexcitation, resulting in limited treatment...

Sensorless control of switched reluctance motors (SRMs) often requires a hybrid mode combining low-speed pulse injection methods and high-speed model-based estimation. However, pulse injection causes unwanted audible noises and torque ripples. This article proposes an enhanced model-based sensorless...

BackgroundT cells are crucial in destroying pancreatic β cells, resulting in insulitis in type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, only 1% to 2% of infiltrating CD8+ T cells are specific for islet autoantigens. The mechanisms driving non-cognate T cells to the islets and their potential pathogenic roles rema...

Accurate crop type classification remains challenged by dependence on ground-based samples and the presence of ‘salt-and-pepper’ noise. This study presented a hierarchical parcel-level classification framework for multi-crop mapping, integrating the boundary-field interaction network (BFINet), the R...

Chemosensory systems play a pivotal role in insect survival and reproduction by mediating the detection of volatile organic compounds in the environment. <i>Protaetia brevitarsis</i> (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), a phytophagous pest widely distributed across East Asia, poses a significant...

This study aimed to compare the efficiencies of clustered regulatory interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas9-mediated gene knock-ins with zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) in bovine and dairy goat fetal fibroblasts. To test the knock...

The CRISPR/Cas9 mediates efficient gene editing but has off-target effects inconducive to animal breeding. In this study, the efficacy of CRISPR/Cas9 vectors containing different lengths of gRNA in reduction of the off-target phenomenon in the bovine MSTN gene knockout fibroblast cell lines was asse...
