Recently, the high proportion of methicillin-resistant infections worldwide has highlighted the urgent need for novel antibiotics to combat this crisis. The recent progress in computational techniques for use in health and medicine, especially artificial intelligence (AI), has created new and potential approaches to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as repurposing existing drugs, optimizing current agents, and designing novel compounds. Halicin was previously used as a diabetic medication, acting as a c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK) inhibitor, and has recently demonstrated unexpected antibacterial activity.

Water content of surface fuels is an important indicator of forest fire risk level and fire behavior, and the prediction model of which has a significant effect on fire risk prediction and management. Based on field meteorological factors of and var. forests and water content data of dead fuels on the ground, we conducted the relative importance ranking of meteorological factors random forest and Pearson correlation analysis, and predicted water content of fuels using deeply learned convolutional neural network and meteorological factors regression.

Forest fuels are the basis of fire occurrences, while ground dead fuels are an important part of forest fuels. Undestanding the pyrolysis characteristics and gas emissions of forest fuels is of great significance to explore the effects of forest fire on atmospheric environment and carbon balance, as well as to prevent and combat forest fire. In this study, the thermogravimetric analysis and gas emission analysis were conducted on leaf litter of six tree species ( var.

Its onset is latent, and it shows high heterogeneity and can readily experience intrahepatic metastasis or systemic metastasis, which seriously affects patients' quality of life. Numerous studies have shown that hypoxia inducible factor1α (HIF-1α) plays a significant role in the occurrence and development of tumors, as it promotes the formation of intratumoral vessels and plays a key role in their metastasis and invasion.
