In this paper, a tunable graphene-based band-stop filter in the mid-infrared region was demonstrated, which consists of periodic structure based on bilayer graphene nanoribbons. Due to the unique tunable Fermi level of graphene, the resonance wavelength of the filter can be tuned over a wide range (...

Abstract Seasonal forecasting of precipitation variability over High Mountain Asia (HMA) remains a big challenge, as current dynamical models struggle to accurately capture its seasonal evolution. In this study, we identify key spatiotemporal patterns of rainy‐season precipitation anomalies across H...

Influenza virus epidemics occur annually, posing significant public health challenges. Although anti-influenza drugs are available, newly emerged viral strains frequently develop resistance, necessitating the discovery of new antiviral reagents. This study aims to evaluate the anti-influenza virus a...

Renal fibrosis is a common pathological endpoint of various chronic kidney diseases. Macrophages play an important role in the pathophysiological process of renal fibrosis. However, the exact function and molecular mechanism of macrophages during renal fibrosis remain unclear. In this study, we foun...

Timing of harvest is critical for mechanical picking in cotton production, especially in those regions with double cropping system. Appropriate and safe harvest aids will improve timing and facilitate harvest of cotton in the double cropping system. Three defoliants (dimethipin, thidiazuron, and thi...

Defoliation is an indispensable step in cotton production with mechanical harvesting, especially in the North China Plain (NCP) where mechanical harvesting is limited by a large proportion of green leaves and unopened bolls at harvest time due to insufficient thermal resources. It is essential to qu...

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are artificially synthesized compounds that have become an important technical guarantee for agricultural production. EDAH (containing 27% ethephon and 3% DA-6) has been proven to inhibit stalk elongation, promote stalk bold and increase mechanical strength and number...

Gastrointestinal cancer (GIC) ranks among the most fatal malignancies globally and is characterized by a significant propensity for metastasis. While surgical intervention can effectively cure GIC in its early stages, a substantial number of cases are diagnosed at advanced stages, where the response...

The tea tussock moth (Euproctis pseudoconspersa) is one of the most destructive chewing pests in tea plantations and causes a serious allergic reaction on the skin of tea plantation workers. The sex pheromone components of its Japanese population were first identified as 10,14-dimethylpentadecyl iso...
