Estimation of soil organic carbon in LUCAS soil database using Vis-NIR spectroscopy based on hybrid kernel Gaussian process regression.

Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) is crucial for determining soil fertility and environmental quality. The problem with traditional SOC chemical analysis methods is that they are time-consuming and resource-intensive. In recent years, visible-near infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy has been employed as an alternative method for SOC determination.

A stochastic resonance etection algorithm based on orthonormalized basis function for magnetic anomaly detection.

To address the problem that the performance of the detector in airborne magnetic anomaly detection (MAD) is terrible, a stochastic resonance (SR) detection algorithm based on orthonormalized basis function (OBF-SR) is proposed for MAD under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions. The signal contaminated by noise is first preprocessed by the OBF method, where the sum of the three components in the OBF space is selected as the SR system input. Then, a parallel SR system with different initial states is designed to detect the signal.

Boosting the performance of an iontophoretic biosensing system with a graphene aerogel and Prussian blue for highly sensitive and noninvasive glucose monitoring.

Diabetes and impaired glucose regulation (IGR) threaten the lives and health of numerous patients. Interstitial fluid (ISF) glucose, displaying an excellent correlation with blood glucose, is highly desired to address the limitations of invasive and minimally invasive glucose detection. Herein, we present a screen-printed iontophoretic biosensing system to extract ISF noninvasively and perform instant glucose detection.

ROCK inhibitor Y‑27632 protects rats against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion‑induced behavioral deficits and hippocampal damage.

Cerebral ischemic injury is a major cause of death and long‑term disability worldwide that leads to neurological and behavioral deficits, and for which successful treatments are still lacking. Ras homolog family member A (RhoA) and Rho‑associated coiled‑coil containing protein kinase (ROCK) are associated with the growth of neurons and the movement of neuronal growth cones. RhoA/ROCK inhibitors have been demonstrated to promote the recovery of motor function following nerve injury, but the underlying mechanism requires further investigation.
