Abstract This study investigates the characteristics and mechanisms of diurnal pulses (DPs) in tropical cyclones (TCs) over the Northwest Pacific. Previous studies have noted discontinuities in DP propagation with respect to radius, but lacked an explanation for this phenomenon. Our findings reveal...

BackgroundDue to ethical constraints, famines, which can lead to severe malnutrition, are often viewed as natural experiments to assess the impact of early-life nutritional malnutrition on adverse health outcomes in adulthood. However, evidence regarding the effect of early-life famine exposure on l...

Near infrared (NIR) excitation or emission is capable of deep-tissue penetration in various modalities of optical microscopy. Based on the transmittance characterization of biological tissue, such as brains, four NIR optical windows have been demonstrated or suggested: The 800-nm, the 1300-nm, the 1...

Streptococcus suis is a bacterium that can cause infections in pigs and humans. Although oxidative stress is common occurrence during bacterial growth and infection, the regulation networks of S. suis under oxidative stress remain poorly understood. To address this, we utilized RNA-Seq to reveal the...

The on-chip mode-division multiplexing (MDM) is an attractive technique to achieve high-capacity optical transmissions by using a single-wavelength carrier. In traditional schemes, multiple channels with a fundamental mode are modulated by parallel arranged electro-optic modulators and then converte...

Background: The isolation and culture of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) is time-consuming and has a low success rate. On the basis of the fact that cell lines are susceptible to MP contamination, we explored the possibility of using Hep-2 cell culture for the isolation and culture of MP, to overcome thi...

Abstract Precipitation is a key driver of the global water cycle and energy circulation, yet its complex formation and dynamic lifecycle make both observation and simulation challenging. Tracking precipitation events and analyzing their lifecycle stages (development, maturity, and dissipation) are e...

Abstract Size‐selected gas‐phase aggregated metal clusters have long been considered as embryos of materials. However, a significant proportion of these clusters are susceptive to damage when exiting vacuum. Consequently, effective protection is highly desirable. Here a cluster packaging and protect...

Topping eliminates apical dominance in tobacco, enhancing the quality of the upper leaves. However, the mechanisms by which topping influences photosynthesis and the leaf structure, and regulation of chemical composition remain unclear. This study investigated the regulatory mechanisms of different...

As important yield-related traits, thousand-grain weight (TGW), grain number per spike (GNS) and grain weight per spike (GWS) are crucial components of wheat production. To dissect their underlying genetic basis, a double haploid (DH) population comprised of 198 lines derived from 8762/Keyi 5214 was...
