Efficiency is very important for robots when executing multiple tasks, especially for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) with limited endurance. In order to improve efficiency, task-sequencing optimization, which focuses on achieving the optimal execution order of multiple tasks, is one effective...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for COVID-19, remains a major global health threat. The virus enters host cells by binding to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. Several small-molecule antiviral drugs, including molnupiravir, favip...

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a major cause of end-stage renal disease globally, with podocytes being implicated in its pathogenesis. However, the underlying mechanisms of podocyte involvement remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to identify podocyte molecular markers associated with...

In this study, to enhance the concentration of caproic acid generated from maize straw fermentation and clarify the structures of bacterial and fungal communities within the serially subcultured rumen microbial fermentation system, maize straw was used as the substrate. In a continuous subculture sy...

High spatial and spectral resolution observations are essential for identifying subarcsecond dual and lensed quasars and confirming their redshifts. We present Gemini/Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph and Hubble Space Telescope/STIS optical spectra for 27 dual quasar candidates selected based on thei...

Introduction and aims: Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT1), the rate-limiting enzyme of fatty acid oxidation, plays a crucial role in inflammation. However, the relation between CPT1 and periodontitis is obscure. This study aimed to reveal the expression pattern of CPT1 (CPT1A, CPT1B, CPT1C) in...

The complexity of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), which is composed of mainly tumor cells, immune cells, and cytokines, is a major obstacle limiting the effectiveness of immunotherapy, and the interactions among these factors in the TIME determine the efficacy of antitumor immunity. Over t...

Multiyear observations from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Reverberation Mapping ​(RM) project have significantly increased the number of quasars with reliable RM lag measurements. We statistically analyze target properties, light-curve characteristics, and survey design choices to identify fac...

Duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) shares many basic characteristics with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and is an attractive model for vaccine development. In this study, DHBV DNA vaccines were designed to express envelope and capsid fusion proteins to enhance the breadth of immune response in ducks. Attenuate...
