This study employs a deep learning-based object detection model, GoogleNet, to identify cracks in cultural heritage images. Subsequently, a semantic segmentation model, SegNet, is utilized to determine the location and extent of the cracks. To establish a scale ratio between image pixels and real-wo...

Serpentine soils are predominantly distributed along the Circum-Pacific margin and the Mediterranean, including eastern Taiwan. These soils are characterized by high levels of heavy metals, including nickel and chromium, and a low calcium-to-magnesium ratio, creating a unique environment that foster...

Abstract Background Microorganisms can improve the adaptability of crops to drought and high-temperature stress. However, the changes of rhizosphere microbial communities under climate stress and the potential mechanisms driving microbial changes remain poorly understood. Results In this study, the...

This study investigates the impact of technology-assisted sports training on the physiological and psychological performance of recreational exercisers (non-athletes), with particular attention to the moderating role of sport involvement (SI). A quasi-experimental design was employed, with 48 partic...

Plant height is one of the most important traits in soybean. The semi-dwarf soybean cultivars could improve the ability of lodging resistance to obtain higher yield. To broaden the dwarfism germplasm resources in soybean, 44 dwarf mutants were identified from a gamma rays mutagenized M2 population....

The performance of seed laser source will have a great impact on the output pulse quality of the master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system. Here, we report the influence of the soliton vector features on the pulse uniformity in an all-fiber MOPA configuration. We demonstrated that, although th...

Cellulose, a major constituent of plant biomass, is synthesized by a cellulose synthase complex. It has been demonstrated that MYB genes transcriptionally regulate cellulose synthase in Arabidopsis. However, little is known about this process in tomato. Here, two MYB (SIMYB1/2) and three cellulose s...

We reported on the soliton booting dynamics of an ultrafast fiber laser operating in an anomalous dispersion regime. Based on the advanced experimental methodologies of spatio-temporal reconstruction and dispersive Fourier transform (DFT), the soliton booting dynamics are analyzed in the time and sp...

Introduction: Removal of entombed ureteral stents can be technically challenging, particularly if the stent were to fragment during removal. The purpose of this study was to compare the therapeutic suitability of the thulium fiber laser (TFL) and the holmium laser (HL) in the treatment of entombed s...

Herein, a lucid meta-holographic approach leveraging geometric phase metasurfaces and photonic crystal surface-emitting lasers is presented. Such a straightforward technique inherently enables polarized structured light projection with opposite circular polarization states, effectively doubling the...

Abstract Background This study investigated the relationship between inflammatory biomarkers (lymphocyte ratio [NLR], monocyte‐to‐lymphocyte ratio [MLR], and platelet‐to‐lymphocyte ratio [PLR]) and the treatment outcomes of patients with non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with afatinib. Meth...

Background: S-1, an oral chemotherapy combining tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil, has shown efficacy comparable with docetaxel for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in clinical trials. However, its real-world effectiveness and safety remain underexplored. Methods: This retrospective cohort...

IntroductionType 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD). However, few studies have explored the clinical presentation and outcomes of Graves disease (GD) in T1D patients. In this study, we examined the clinical manifestation and compared the remission rates of GD in pe...
