A Rhodamine-based high-sensitivity low-cytotoxicity probe for rapid turn-on detection of Hg.

By integrating Rhodamine B and 4-phenylmorpholine moieties, a novel fluorescent probe named RhPy is synthesized for detecting Hg. Its recognition mechanism involves the reaction of Hg with dithiooxamide, ultimately triggering the opening of the Rhodamine spirolactam and forming a new molecule RhPy-S with strong emission. The probe exhibits impressive limit of detection (0.

Stability analysis of electromagnetic suspension systems coupled with flexible frames: Modeling, control, analysis and experimentation.

The stability of the suspension is a key challenge for the application and promotion of electromagnetic suspension technology, especially when it operates in conjunction with a flexible structure, which significantly increases the system's complexity. This paper abstracts the characteristics of the coupling conditions between an electromagnetic suspension system and a flexible structure and designs and constructs an experimental apparatus that includes an electromagnet and a simulated flexible structure with adjustable stiffness and inertia. Based on the Lyapunov method, the central manifold theorem, and the Poincaré method, the stability of the electromagnetic suspension system and the conditions for Hopf bifurcations are derived.

High-temperature stress in strawberry: understanding physiological, biochemical and molecular responses.

Heat stress reduces strawberry growth and fruit quality by impairing photosynthesis, disrupting hormone regulation, and altering mineral nutrition. Multi-omics studies show extensive transcriptional, post-transcriptional, proteomic and metabolomic under high temperatures. Garden strawberry is a globally cultivated, economically important fruit crop highly susceptible to episodic heat waves and chronically rising temperatures associated with climate change.

Empathy as a Mediator of the Relation between Peer Influence and Prosocial Behavior in Adolescence: A Meta-Analysis.

During adolescence, empathy and prosocial behavior contribute to the establishment of positive interpersonal relationships and social connections, promoting holistic development in youth. A substantial amount of research has provided compelling evidence that there is a relationship between peer relationships and empathy and prosocial behavior. Empathy, as a key mediating factor, links the influence of peers with prosocial behavior in adolescents, yet there is currently a lack of robust meta-analytic evidence regarding this mediating role.

Multi-model GWAS reveals key loci for horticultural traits in reconstructed garden strawberry.

The cultivated garden strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) has a rich history, originating from the hybridization of two wild octoploid strawberry species in the 18th century. Two-step reconstruction of Fragaria × ananassa through controlled crossings between pre-improved selections of its parental species is a promising approach for enriching the breeding germplasm of strawberry for wider adaptability. We created a population of reconstructed strawberry by hybridizing elite selections of F.

Association between acute peripancreatic fluid collections and early readmission in acute pancreatitis: A propensity-matched analysis.

Background: Patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) frequently experience hospital readmissions, posing a significant burden to healthcare systems. Acute peripancreatic fluid collection (APFC) may negatively impact the clinical course of AP. It could worsen symptoms and potentially lead to additional complications.

Impact of COVID-19 on liver transplant recipients: A nationwide cohort study evaluating hospitalization, transplant rejection, and inpatient mortality.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has posed a major public health concern worldwide. Patients with comorbid conditions are at risk of adverse outcomes following COVID-19. Solid organ transplant recipients with concurrent immunosuppression and comorbidities are more susceptible to a severe COVID-19 infection.

Identification and Characterization of Evolutionary Conserved Muskmelon Non-coding miRNAs and Their Target Proteins.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, endogenously encoded small RNAs, 18-26 nucleotides in length, which can posttranscriptionally regulate gene expression through translation inhibition or endonucleolytic cleavage. The muskmelon is one of the most widely cultivated fruits in the Cucurbitaceae family. Despite its significance, only 120 miRNAs from different families have been reported in muskmelon.

Association between alcohol-associated cirrhosis and inpatient complications among COVID-19 patients: A propensity-matched analysis from the United States.

Background: Alcohol-associated cirrhosis (AC) contributes to significant liver-related mortality in the United States. It is known to cause immune dysfunction and coagulation abnormalities. Patients with comorbid conditions like AC are at risk of worse clinical outcomes from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Exploration of differentiability in a proton computed tomography simulation framework.

Gradient-based optimization using algorithmic derivatives can be a useful technique to improve engineering designs with respect to a computer-implemented objective function. Likewise, uncertainty quantification through computer simulations can be carried out by means of derivatives of the computer simulation. However, the effectiveness of these techniques depends on how 'well-linearizable' the software is.

Uncertainty-aware spot rejection rate as quality metric for proton therapy using a digital tracking calorimeter.

Proton therapy is highly sensitive to range uncertainties due to the nature of the dose deposition of charged particles. To ensure treatment quality, range verification methods can be used to verify that the individual spots in a pencil beam scanning treatment fraction match the treatment plan. This study introduces a novel metric for proton therapy quality control based on uncertainties in range verification of individual spots.

Efficient Fault Detection of Rotor Minor Inter-Turn Short Circuit in Induction Machines Using Wavelet Transform and Empirical Mode Decomposition.

This paper introduces a novel approach for detecting inter-turn short-circuit faults in rotor windings using wavelet transformation and empirical mode decomposition. A MATLAB/Simulink model is developed based on electrical parameters to simulate the inter-turn short circuit by adding a resistor parallel to phase "a" of the rotor. The resulting high current in the new phase indicates the presence of the short circuit.

The combined and individual effect of fly ash (FA) and Alkali resistance glass fiber (ARGF) with several contents on the mechanical characteristics of M20 grade plain cement concrete was investigated in this study.

Revisiting Plant Heterosis-From Field Scale to Molecules.

Heterosis refers to the increase in biomass, stature, fertility, and other characters that impart superior performance to the F1 progeny over genetically diverged parents. The manifestation of heterosis brought an economic revolution to the agricultural production and seed sector in the last few decades. Initially, the idea was exploited in cross-pollinated plants, but eventually acquired serious attention in self-pollinated crops as well.
