The monopile foundation is a popular foundation type for offshore wind turbines; due to the harsh marine environment, there are lateral loads applied on the monopile foundation from winds and currents, and scouring also often occurs around the pile, reducing the bearing capacity and impacting the no...

The rapid expansion of the urban rail network has increased concerns regarding stray current generated by the DC traction power supply system. This stray current, which arises from inadequate insulation between the rail and the ground, can cause electrochemical corrosion and operational challenges t...

ABSTRACT Enhancing acid tolerance of industrial microorganisms is critical for improving fermentation efficiency and sustainability. This study presents a synthetic biology approach that employs toehold switch‐based acid‐tolerance modules to engineer acid‐tolerant strains. This toehold switch‐based...

The cosmography known as the Padé polynomials has been widely used in the reconstruction of luminosity distance, and the orders of Padé polynomials influence the reconstructed result derived from Padé approximation. In this paper, we present a more general scheme of selecting optimal Padé polynomial...

To address the challenge of physically realizing fractional-order electrical networks, this study proposes an implementation method for a mechatronic inerter–spring–damper (ISD) suspension based on a fractional-order biquadratic transfer function. Building upon a previously established model of a me...

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a highly lethal gynecologic malignancy because of the absence of specific early symptoms and reliable biomarkers, most OC patients are often diagnosed at advanced stages, resulting in poor prognosis. Traditional tissue biopsy and serological biomarkers like CA125 have limited...

Hub motor-driven vehicles (HMDVs) suffer from poor handling and stability due to an increased unsprung mass and unbalanced radial electromagnetic forces. Although traditional ground-hook control reduces the dynamic tire load, it severely worsens the body acceleration. This paper presents a generaliz...

Bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria)belongs to cucurbit crop and hasunique semi-autonomous organelle genome. Using Illumina short-read and Nanopore long-read sequencing data, we sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome of L. siceraria. And a comparative phylogenetic analysis was condu...

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder characterized by elevated androgen levels and impaired follicular development. A hallmark of PCOS is the excessive proliferation of thecal cells (TCs), which are critical for androgen production. However, the molecular mechani...

Summary: CRISPR-Cas9 and Cas12a are widely used for genome editing, but their large size limits delivery efficiency. Compact Cas12f proteins offer delivery advantages but suffer from low activity. To address this limitation, we engineered an enhanced Cas12f system (exoCasMINI) by fusing T5 exonuclea...

Background and Purpose: Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a life-threatening arrhythmia commonly treated with catheter ablation; however, some cases remain refractory. Stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation (STAR) offers a non-invasive alternative. While photon-based STAR is effective, proton therapy m...
