A High-Temperature and Wide-Permittivity Range Measurement System Based on Ridge Waveguide.

Potential applications of microwave energy, a developed form of clean energy, are diverse and extensive. To expand the applications of microwave heating in the metallurgical field, it is essential to obtain the permittivity of ores throughout the heating process. This paper presents the design of a 2.

Neurobiological Mechanisms Underlying Psychological Dysfunction After Brain Injuries.

Despite the presentation of similar psychological symptoms, psychological dysfunction secondary to brain injury exhibits markedly lower treatment efficacy compared to injury-independent psychological dysfunction. This gap remains evident, despite extensive research efforts. This review integrates clinical and preclinical evidence to provide a comprehensive overview of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying neuropsychological disorders, focusing on the role of key brain regions in emotional regulation across various forms of brain injuries.

Performance and feasibility analysis of an integrated airlift microalgae photobioreactor for cultivation and pre-harvesting.

Microalgae technology is highly attractive in the realm of wastewater treatment and CO removal. However, during the cultivation of microalgae, the phenomenon of light attenuation intensifies with the increasing cell concentration, resulting in a decrement in microalgal growth rate. To maintain high light transmittance and growth rate of microalgae, this study introduces a two-step pre-harvesting process involving flocculation and filtration within an airlift photobioreactor.

Through-Space Charge Transfer Dynamic Mechanism in V-Shaped Flexible Carbazole Aromatic Imides Dyads.

Cofacial electron donor-acceptor dyads exhibiting through-space charge-transfer (TSCT) characteristics are widely employed in the development of optoelectronic functional materials. The flexible molecular frameworks between the electron donor and acceptor components allow dynamic modulation of electronic coupling, influenced by excited-state structural relaxation or intermolecular interactions, thereby affecting the charge-transfer (CT) dynamics and the emission properties of TSCT states. In this work, we examine the TSCT dynamic processes of two electron donor-acceptor dyads, CzPhNI and CzPhPI formed by ortho-substitution of phenyl linkage with V-shaped flexible TSCT structures using carbazole as donor and naphthalimide or phthalimide as acceptor.

Natural variation in ZmNRT2.5 modulates husk leaf width and promotes seed protein content in maize.

The husk leaf of maize (Zea mays) encases the ear as a modified leaf and plays pivotal roles in protecting the ear from pathogen infection, translocating nutrition for grains and warranting grain yield. However, the natural genetic basis for variation in husk leaf width remains largely unexplored. Here, we performed a genome-wide association study for maize husk leaf width and identified a 3-bp InDel (insertion/deletion) in the coding region of the nitrate transporter gene ZmNRT2.
