Stable bound soliton laser mode-locking is experimentally demonstrated in an environmentally stable hybrid mode-locked Er-doped fiber laser without incorporating (equivalent) nonlinear saturable absorption effects. The laser has a sigma-type cavity and exhibits a higher threshold for single to bound...

Active rockfall protection system is a pattern-anchored yet flexible cable net system. It consists of cable net panels and longitudinal and horizontal support cables. The panels support loads developed from unstable rock and transmit this load to the longitudinal and horizontal support cables. In th...

An anti-windup approach is developed for impulsive control systems constrained by input saturation in this investigation. By utilizing free matrices, the matrix inequality conditions ensuring exponential stability are transformed into linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Subsequently, the anti-windup...

A recently isolated Lactiplantibacillus (Lpb.) plantarum NCHU–FC1 strain was subjected to developing novel lacto-fermented cucumbers. Changes in the physicochemical and sensory properties of the developed lactic acid bacteria (LAB) co-fermented cucumbers were explored. The results showed that hardne...

Rice sustains a large global population, making its sustainable production vital for food security. Alternate wetting-and-drying (AWD) irrigation offers a promising approach to reducing water use in rice paddies but can impact grain yields. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can enhance ric...

Premature ovarian failure is a prevalent gynecological endocrine disorder with an increasing incidence rate each year, impacting women’s physical and mental health. The causes of POF are poorly understood, but genetic, immune, iatrogenic, environmental, and psychological factors are key contributors...

The sown area of winter wheat in the Huang-Huai-Hai (HHH) Plain accounts for over 65% of the total sown area of winter wheat in China. Thus, it is important to monitor the winter wheat growth condition and reveal the main factors that influence its dynamics. This study assessed the winter wheat grow...

Background Ischemic stroke (IS) is a major health concern in the Chinese population. Previous studies have highlighted the role of NRF2 in IS. This study investigates the association between NRF2 polymorphisms and IS susceptibility in a Chinese population. Methods This retrospective study included C...

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) contamination via wild birds and rodents poses a threat to food security and safety. As chicken meat comprises an increasing proportion of diet in China, it is useful to determine whether broiler farmers are adopting wild bird and rodent controls to minimize...

This review synthesizes recent research on how Antarctic marine viruses influence polar ecosystems, focusing on their distribution, diversity, and ecological roles. Antarctic waters harbor a rich assemblage of viruses, notably double-stranded DNA bacteriophages and nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruse...

Thickness of the intermetallic compounds (IMC) layer at the interface has a significant effect on the mechanical properties of Mg/Al dissimilar joints. However, the thickness of IMC layer can be only obtained by metallurgical microscopy, which is destructive and has to break down the weld. Therefore...

Macrophages, as a critical component of innate immune cells, exhibit significant plasticity. When confronted with danger signals such as pathogens or microenvironmental alterations, macrophages can differentiate into various phenotypes and functions to safeguard the host. However, numerous pathogens...

Contract farming has been increasingly found to benefit smallholders in developing countries, yet much less is known about its role in the poultry industry where economies of scale could be more prominent. This study aims to narrow this gap by analysing the choice of contract farming among Chinese b...

In this paper, we present a novel blind common phase error estimation method in coherent orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems using projection histogram-assisted processing. In the proposed algorithm, the constellation of the signal distorted by common phase noise is regarded as a tilt...

ABSTRACT Objectives Amphiregulin (Areg), a member of the epidermal growth factor family, plays a critical role in tissue repair, inflammation, and immunity. Macrophages are an important source of Areg and are also among the key immune cells activated in Kawasaki disease (KD). Despite this, the role...
