The present study, based upon the image schema theory advanced by Lakoff and Johnson (1980), means to explore the relative effectiveness of image-schema-based instruction(ISBI) and translation-based instruction (TBI) on the learning of medical collocations of synonyms. By lecturing 60 non-English po...

With the demand for workflow processing driven by edge computing in the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing growing at an exponential rate, task scheduling in heterogeneous distributed systems has become a key challenge to meet real-time constraints in resource-constrained environments. Exi...

Background Interactions between the heterotopic ossification (HO) and the neurological injuries have got lots of interest but still poorly understood. The present study aims to determine the effect of neuroinflammation related calcitonin gene-related protein (CGRP) on HO following spinal cord injury...

Cerebral ischemia and hypoxia play key roles in the occurrence and development of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). However, the pathophysiology of VCI remains unclear. Necroptosis is a non-cysteine-dependent form of cell death mediated by serine/threonine kinases receptor-interacting protein kin...

Airborne LiDAR enables large-scale landslide displacement field monitoring, yet suffers from complex error sources and lower accuracy than contact measurements. While GPS offers higher precision, it fails to capture overall slope displacement. This study proposes a multi-scale LiDAR-GPS fusion techn...

A novel tunable plasmonic demultiplexer is proposed and numerically investigated by finite element method (FEM). It consists of two half-nanodisk cavities and two sets of E7 liquid crystal arrays which are side-coupled to three metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) waveguides. The demultiplexer can split the...

The accumulation of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and its substitutes hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (HFPO-DA, trade name Gen-X) and hexafluoropropylene trimer acid (HFPO-TA), which are widely used synthetic chemicals, may pose significant health risks across species. This study systematically...

We have previously established a clade IIb mpox virus (MPXV) pathogenic BALB/c mouse model for developing mpox countermeasures. Here, we comprehensively investigated the susceptibility of BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice to MPXV and found that Clade IIb MPXV was capable of rapid replication in the lungs of b...

With the exponential demand for additional capacity, ultra-dense wireless networks (UDNs) have become an interesting area of study. One of the major challenges in UDN deployment is the complexity and cost of the base stations, which affect scalability. This study proposes an integrated system combin...

Background Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease that is closely related to inflammation and macrophage apoptosis, which leads to secondary necrosis and proinflammatory responses in advanced lesions. Caspase‐activated DNase (CAD) is a double‐strand specific endonuclease that leads to the subsequent d...
