The distribution of upper water masses and water exchange processes in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal have important implications for the dynamics, thermal structure, and associated air-sea interactions in the North Indian Ocean. In this study, we apply the spectral clustering method to investiga...

According to the reflection behavior of the fiber Bragg grating, the monitoring method of reinforced concrete was presented in this paper. A postprocessing method to extract crack openings from a three-dimension finite element computation was proposed. The three-axial stresses of the FBG were extrac...

Historically, China’s approach to genetically modified (GM) staple crops has been cautious. However, in 2021, China launched its first pilot program for the commercial cultivation of GM food crops and subsequently expanded their cultivation. Previously, the only GM plants cultivated in China were in...

Oil spills represent a serious threat to marine ecosystems. Remote sensing monitoring, especially based on synthetic aperture radar (SAR), have been extensively employed in marine environments due to its unique advantages. However, SAR images of marine oil spills exhibit challenges of weak boundarie...

ABSTRACT: Oyster is a bivalve mollusk widely distributed in estuarine and shallow sea environments. Its growth and burial process is a carbon sequestration and storage process. Oyster shell may stop growing due to suffer from freeze shock during the winter season within a temperate climate, therefor...

In this paper, a parallel plate variable capacitor-based wind pressure sensor is proposed, which uses a wind-driven peripherally fixed circular membrane as its pressure-sensitive element and a spring-reset parallel plate variable capacitor as its sensing element. The circular membrane is first drive...

The Arabian Sea has undergone significant warming since the mid-20th century, highlighting the importance of assessing how decadal climate patterns influence chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and broader marine ecosystem dynamics. This study investigates the variability of Chl-a, sea surface temperature (SST),...

Long term high-fat diet lead to glucose and lipid metabolism disorders (GLMD). Here, we investigated the effect of insoluble dietary fiber extracted from Chinese cabbage leaves (CIDF) on GLMD. Firstly, CIDF, containing 68.55 % insoluble dietary fiber, was extracted by complex enzyme. Experiments con...

Genistein, a natural isoflavone, exerts anticancer effects on human breast cancer cells by modulating the unfolded protein response (UPR). However, the effect of genistein on UPR in canine mammary gland tumor (CMT) cells remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate the anticancer...

Somatic nuclear transfer technology has become increasingly promising in biomedicine and agriculture. Whereas the approach remains inefficient and underlying mechanisms remain ambiguous. Although cloned embryos have similar in vitro developmental capacity as in vitro fertilized (IVF) embryos before...

Maximum height (Hmax) is a principal driver or correlate of interspecific variation in many plant functional traits. Still, it remains unclear why leaf resource economic traits are invariant with Hmax at global scale and why broad-scale interspecific trait correlations are not retained at local scal...

Melatonin is a naturally occurring compound in plants. Here, we tested the effect of exogenous melatonin on rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) grown under salt stress. Application of 30 µmol L−1 melatonin alleviated salt-induced growth inhibition, and the shoot fresh weight, the shoot dry weight, the root...
