To accurately evaluate the carbon sequestration potential and better elucidate the relationship between the carbon cycle and regional climate change, using eddy covariance system, we conducted a long-term measurement of CO2 fluxes in the rain-fed winter wheat field of the Chinese Loess Plateau. The...

Tree peonies native to China are a precious crop with ornamental, medicinal and edible oil properties, of which flare tree peony (Paeonia rockii) is one of the most significant germplasms in Paeonia. The development and application of expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers a...

The phenotypic heterogeneity and functional diversity of macrophages have been increasingly appreciated, particularly regarding their roles as innate immune cells in shaping transplantation outcomes. However, their functions in vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) remain underexplored. I...

Drought is a multifaceted stress condition that inhibits crop growth. Seed germination is one of the critical and sensitive stages of plants, and its process is inhibited or even entirely prevented by drought. Polyamines (PAs) are closely associated with plant resistance to drought stress and seed g...

To investigate the phenomenon of liquid xenon flashing in a filling pipeline, the two-phase flow in a pipe is calculated and analyzed by using a one-dimensional homogeneous equilibrium model (HEM) and a two-dimensional mixture model. The distribution of xenon two-phase flow parameters along the pipe...

The rapid development of energy storage technologies has led to an increasing demand for high-performance electrode materials that can enhance both the energy density and the cycling stability of batteries. In this study, polypyrrole (PPy) nanorods with partial hollow features are utilized as a cond...

In this paper, we propose and experimentally illustrate a wavelength-switchable erbium-doped fiber (EDF) dual-ring (DR) laser with stable single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) oscillation. In the experiment, a silicon-micro-ring-resonator (SiMRR) is applied in the proposed DR cavity for tuning different ou...

Field experiments were conducted in 2003 and 2004 to study the effects of plastic ridges and furrow film mulching (plastic film on sowing, as well as plastic film on flat soil and hole sowing) and chemicals (a drought resistant agent and a water-retaining agent) on growth, photosynthetic rate, yield...

Although plastic-covered ridge and furrow planting (RF) has been reported to produce substantial increases in the grain weight of winter wheat, the underlying mechanism is not yet understood. The present study used two cultivars, Xinong 538 and Zhoumai 18, and RF and traditional flatten planting (TF...

A mixture of controlled-release urea and normal urea (CRUNU) is an efficient nitrogen (N) fertilizer type, but little is known about its effects on stem lodging resistance, grain yield, and yield stability of wheat. In this study, a 4-year field experiment (from 2017 to 2021) was conducted to analyz...

Pig large intestines (PLIs) are usually processed into various dishes for consumption through cooking methods such as stir frying, stewing, and braising, which are difficult for many consumers to accept because of their unique and pungent off-odours. To reduce the number of off-odour substances pres...

Abstract Background Fat grafting has been extensively used in plastic surgery practice, yet unstable retention in the recipient site remains a significant clinical challenge. The limited tolerance of injected adipose tissue to ischemia has prompted strategies aiming at timely enhancing the vasculari...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) releases the unusual terpene nucleoside 1-tuberculosinyladenosine (1-TbAd) to block lysosomal function and promote survival in human macrophages. Using conventional approaches, we found that genes Rv3377c and Rv3378c, but not Rv3376, were necessary for 1-TbAd biosynt...

In today’s rapidly evolving society, the sources of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) emissions are shifting significantly. Stringent regulations on vehicle tailpipe emissions, in combination with a lack of control of non-exhaust vehicular emissions, have led to an increase in the relative contrib...
