Four kinds of nanosilica particles with different surface modification were employed to fabricate low-density polyethylene (LDPE) composites using melt mixing and hot molding methods. The surface chemistry of modified nanosilica was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. All silica nanopartic...

Partially bio-based thermoplastic elastomers (bio-TPE) were designed and prepared by physical blending a commercial grade poly(hydroxyalkanoate)s (PHBM, Metabolix) and poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA). The PHBM is miscible with EVA90 which has a vinyl acetate (VA) content of 90 wt% while it is...

In this paper, polysulfide-based elastomers were successfully prepared through a simple one-pot thiol-ene click reaction of the liquid polysulfide oligomer with bisphenol-A diacrylate resin. Real-time Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis showed that the molecular weight of the liq...

In this study, cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) were derived from waste pineapple leaves with the aim of developing a nanocomposite with high impact strength and transparency. First, CNFs were prepared using an acid-base treatment and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-mediated oxidation...

<p>Forest age is crucial for both carbon cycle modeling and effective forest management. Remote sensing provides crucial data for large-scale forest age mapping, but existing products often suffer from a low spatial resolution (typically 1000 m), making them unsuitable for most forest stands i...

Background: Obesity and circadian rhythm disruption are significant global health concerns, contributing to an increased risk of metabolic disorders. Both adipose tissue and circadian rhythms play critical roles in maintaining energy homeostasis, and their dysfunction is closely linked to obesity. T...

In this study, the TC21 (Ti–6Al–2Sn–2Zr–3Mo–1Cr–2Nb-0.1Si) alloy with basket-weave microstructure was subjected to subsolvus + aging (910 °C + 550 °C) and supersolvus + aging (1010 °C + 550 °C) treatments to optimize the performance of aircraft engine casings and other high-temperature resistant com...

In this paper, we proposed a cost-effective broadcast signal transmission scheme using a distributed feedback laser diode (DFB-LD) for wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) systems. The DFB-LD is directly modulated with a single-tone radio frequency signal to generate mu...

Despite advances in chemotherapy and targeted therapy, resistance and systemic toxicity limit the clinical efficacy of current treatments of colorectal cancer (CRC).Purpose of the study. To analyze published experimental studies on the peptide drug CIGB‑552, which targets COMMD1, and its potential u...

Summary: The stable carbon isotope signature of methane (δ13C-CH4) helps constrain CH4 emissions on regional to global scales, yet observations in rice paddies remain limited. The temporal dynamics of δ13C-CH4 and its drivers in rice paddies are still not fully understood. Here, we conducted continu...

<p>Several recent studies have reported complete cloud glaciation induced by airborne-based glaciogenic cloud seeding over plains. Since turbulence is an important factor controlling mixed-phase clouds, including ice initiation, snow growth, and cloud longevity, it is hypothesized that turbule...

Obesity is considered as a chronic progressive disease, heterogeneous in its etiology and clinical manifestations, and characterized by excess in body fat mass and its deposition in the body. The term “morbid obesity” refers to excessive deposition of adipose tissue with a body mass index (BMI) ≥40...

Although nitrogen fertilizers increase rice yield, their excess can impair plant resistance to diseases, particularly sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani. This pathogen can destroy up to 50 % of the crop, but the mechanisms underlying reduced resistance under excess nitrogen remain poorly und...

Drought is a critical factor limiting the productivity of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), one of the key agricultural crops. Wheat adaptation to water deficit is ensured by complex molecular genetic mechanisms, including the coordinated work of multiple genes regulated by transcription factors a...

Ischemic stroke is caused by an interruption in the flow of blood to the brain and a risk factor for death and disability. Recent genome-wide association studies have identified more than 40 common sequence variants associated with ischemic stroke. However, the results are not always the same in pop...

Statistical features of the distribution of transcription factor binding sites in the mouse genome that are obtained by ChIP-seq experiments in embryonic stem cells have been considered. Clusters of sites that contain four or more different transcription factor binding sites in the mouse genome have...

The plant cell wall represents the outer compartment of the plant cell, which provides a physical barrier and triggers signaling cascades under the influence of biotic and abiotic stressors. Drought is a factor that negatively affects both plant growth and development. Cell wall proteins (CWP) play...

Clostridium innocuum is an emerging spore-forming anaerobe that is often observed in Clostridioides difficile-associated inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) exacerbations. Unlike C. difficile, C. innocuum neither produces toxins nor possesses toxin-encoding genetic loci, but is commonly found in both i...
