Hyperspectral unmixing has attracted increasing attention in remote sensing applications. Unfortunately, significant unmixing residuals often arise from the coupled nonlinear mixing effects and spectral variability (SV), bringing challenges for reliably solving the underlying optimization problems i...

Chronic spontaneous urticaria is a common skin disorder with variable treatment responses. Second-generation H1-antihistamines are the first-line treatment for chronic spontaneous urticaria, yet many patients fail to respond to licensed doses. Predictors of treatment response to second-generation H1...

To address the issues of excessive cement and energy consumption in ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), waste glass powder (WGP) was utilized to replace cement at varying rates of 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% to prepare UHPC. The results indicated that the incorporation of WGP influenced the flowabilit...

Ferroptosis is distinctive type programmed cell death. Tumor cells, with their higher iron levels, render them more susceptible to ferroptosis Inducing ferroptosis can activate immune cells, regulate immune evasion, and inhibit the biology activity of cancer cells. Therefore, ferroptosis-induced can...

For the study of dark adaptation at the entrance section of a tunnel, the effects of photopigments in rod cells and luminance can be disregarded because the luminance of this section is in the range of photopic vision. Instead, light color characteristics can be considered. This paper focused on the...

Background: The present study aimed to evaluate retinal microvascular alterations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) utilizing optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Methods: Pertinent articles comparing retinal vascular characteristics between eyes of COPD patie...

Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is increasingly studied for its diverse applications in non-invasive detection. Non-randomly cleaved by nucleases and released into the bloodstream, cfDNA exhibits a variety of intrinsic fragmentation patterns indicative of cell status. Particularly, these fragmentation pattern...

In January 2022, we received ant specimens collected from three field colonies from Shantou City, Guangdong Province, China. They were identified as the little fire ant, Wasmannia auropunctata, through morphological and molecular analyses. Wasmannia auropunctata is listed as one of the 100 most dang...

GBA1 gene mutation is an important genetic risk factor for Parkinson’s disease (PD). This paper reports a case of a 43-year-old male PD patient carrying a rare heterozygous Thr408Met mutation in the GBA1 gene identified through whole-exome sequencing, leading to a diagnosis of GBA1-associated PD. Th...

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease triggered by multiple factors, characterized by gut microbiota dysbiosis, epithelial barrier dysfunction, and abnormal mucosal immunity. Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) ligands, including agonists and antagonists, are small molecules th...

Due to the basic advantages of being surrounded by mountains on three sides, most of the waste slag is selected to accumulate in the “scoop-shaped” site with high surroundings and low middle. Through the analysis of the topography and slag heap morphology of the “scoop-shaped” valley area, it is con...

Lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs), possessing excellent theoretical capacities, advanced theoretical energy densities, low cost, and nontoxicity, are one of the most promising energy storage battery systems. However, some issues, including poor conductivity of elemental S, the “shuttle effect” of high...

Abstract Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition has more than tripled globally since the Industrial Revolution. Experiments usually simulate N deposition using fast‐release N fertilizers applied once or several times a year. However, these pulses differ from the continuous N supply of natural depositio...
