The array of wildfire activities instigated by human endeavors has emerged as a significant source of atmospheric pollution, posing considerable risks to both public health and property safety. This study harnesses Sentinel-2 satellite data, employing a variety of methods including spectral index methods, thresholding, and the Random Forest (RF) model for active fire spot detection. The research encompasses a wide range of land cover types across various Chinese regions.

Article Synopsis
  • The study reviews the current state of sleep disorder monitoring devices, highlighting polysomnography (PSG) as the primary diagnostic method, even though it is complex and requires lab visits.
  • While home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) provides convenience for monitoring sleep at home, it lacks the accuracy of PSG for certain conditions, such as mild obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).
  • The study advocates for creating a Chinese sleep staging database and developing advanced home monitoring devices as potential future advancements in sleep disorder diagnosis and management.

Although recently developed hybrid zinc (Zn) batteries integrate the benefits of both alkaline Zn and Zn-air batteries, the kinetics of the electrocatalytic oxygen reaction and mass transfer of the electrolyte, which are limited by the mismatched and disordered multiphase reaction's interfacial transfer channels, considerably inhibit the performance of hybrid Zn batteries. In this work, novel, continuously oriented three-phase interfacial channels at the cathode derived from the natural structure of pine wood are developed to address these challenges. A pine wood chip is carbonized and asymmetrically loaded with a hydrophilic active material to achieve the creation of a wood-derived cathode that integrates the active material, current collector, and continuously oriented three-phase reaction interfacial channels, which allows the reaction dynamics to be accelerated.

Theoretically, cuprous oxide (CuO) is a particularly excellent potential material, for the hole transport layer (HTL) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of its experimental samples is still not ideal. The main reasons for this include the material, and inherent and interface defects of CuO, but this can be improved by doping.

An optoelectronic swept-frequency laser (SFL) is an optoelectronic feedback system that includes an auxiliary interferometer that can exert precise control over the optical frequency sweep. The arm-length difference (ALD) of the auxiliary interferometer directly affects the performance of the whole system. We established a theoretical model to choose the optimal ALD of an auxiliary interferometer in an optoelectronic SFL system using a frequency-modulated continuous-wave reflectometry experimental setup.

(), a floral meristem identity gene controls the flowering time and floral transition, and plays an important role in inflorescence and floral organ development. The full-length cDNA for was obtained by rapid amplification ofthe cDNA ends (RACE) so that the roles of in (Lm-AP1) could be better understood. (accession number in GenBank: MF418642) consisted of a 729-bp open reading frame encoding a protein that contained 242 amino acids, had a deduced molecular mass of 27.

To investigate the differences of fungal network structures and interaction among fungal species of in black soil region of Northeast China, Illumina MiSeq sequencing was used to reveal the fungal communities in the three long-term fertilization experimental fields. Fungal molecular ecological networks were constructed based on random matrix theory (RMT). The results demonstrated that Ascomycota, Basidiomycota and Zygomycota were the dominant phyla and Hypocreales, Pleosporales and Sordariales were the dominant order, but the relative abundance of some dominant taxa significantly varied in different locations.

Objectives: The incidence of severe hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is not low, especially in mainland China in almost every year recently. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis to generate large-scale evidence on the risk factors of severe HFMD to provide suggestions on prevention and controlling.

Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang (Chinese) were searched to identify relevant articles.

Behavioral inhibitory control has been shown to play an important role in a variety of addictive behaviors. A number of studies involving the use of Go/NoGo and stop-signal paradigms have shown that smokers have reduced response inhibition for cigarette-related cues. However, it is not known whether male light smokers' response inhibition for cigarette-related cues is lower than that of non-smokers in the two-choice oddball paradigm.
