Development of a Synthetic VP1 Protein Peptide-Based ELISA to Detect Antibodies Against Porcine Bocavirus Group 3.

Porcine bocavirus (PBoV), classified within the genus Bocaparvovirus, has been reported worldwide. PBoV has been divided into group 1, group 2, and group 3. PBoV group 3 (G3) viruses are the most prevalent in China.

A Hybrid Harmonic Curve Model for Multi-Streamer Hydrophone Positioning in Seismic Exploration.

Towed streamer positioning is a vital and essential stage in marine seismic exploration, and accurate hydrophone coordinates exert a direct and significant influence on the quality and reliability of seismic imaging. Current methods predominantly rely on analytical polynomial models for towed streamer positioning; however, these models often produce significant errors when fitting to streamers with high curvature, particularly during turning scenarios. To address this limitation, this study introduces a novel multi-streamer analytical positioning method that uses a hybrid harmonic function to model the three-dimensional coordinates of streamers.

Heat Wave Adaptations: Unraveling the Competitive Dynamics Between Invasive and Native .

Heat waves (HW) are projected to become more frequent and intense with climate change, potentially enhancing the invasiveness of certain plant species. This study aims to compare the physiological and photosynthetic responses of the invasive and its native congener under simulated heat wave conditions (40.1 °C, derived from local historical data).

Metagenome-Assembled Genomes of Pig Fecal Samples in Nine European Countries: Insights into Antibiotic Resistance Genes and Viruses.

Gut microbiota plays a crucial role in the health and productivity of pigs. However, the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and viruses within the pig intestinal microbiota poses significant threats to animal and public health. This study utilized 181 pig samples from nine European countries and employed metagenomic assembly methods to investigate the dynamics and distribution of ARGs and viruses within the pig intestinal microbiota, aiming to observing their associations with potential bacterial hosts.

Scientific Validation of Using Active Constituent as Research Focus in Traditional Chinese Medicine: Case Study of Intervention in Type 2 Diabetes.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is recognized for its complex composition and multiple therapeutic targets. However, current pharmacological research often concentrates on extracts or individual components. The former approach faces numerous challenges, whereas the latter oversimplifies and disregards the synergistic effects among TCM components.
