Optical physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are powerful tools to combat counterfeiting, owing to their unpredictable preparation processes and unique, identifiable information content. Achieving high entropy and robustness in optical PUFs is essential for practical applications but remains challenging. This study demonstrates a multilevel, solar-blind, and thermostable PUF based on host-sensitized luminescence of trivalent dysprosium (Dy) in β-phase gallium oxide (β-GaO).

Intracellular pH is a key indicator of cellular stability and plays a critical role in understanding biological processes and diagnosing various diseases. In this study, yellow-emitting carbon dots (C-dots) were synthesized via hydrothermal treatment of o-phenylenediamine and p-aminobenzoic acid. These C-dots exhibited pH-sensitive fluorescence, with intensity increasing as the pH ranged from 2.

The electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NORR) presents a promising alternative to the traditional Haber-Bosch process for synthesizing ammonium (NH) under mild conditions. Supported single atoms have emerged as active catalysts for this conversion; however, the efficiency of NH production are limited by the modest activity and selectivity of these catalysts. In this study, it is demonstrated that zinc single atoms supported on nitrogen-doped carbon (ZnNCs), derived from zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), possess remarkable catalytic performance for this conversion, achieving an unprecedented selectivity (exceeding 90%) for NH formation across a broad potential range (-0.

As a noninvasive optical method, terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) has been applied to diagnose the plasma parameters. Previous reports mainly focused on the phase and amplitude changes of THz waves induced by the plasma, while the terahertz polarization characteristics were rarely reported. In this paper, in addition to the plasma electron density and terahertz transmittance, we further applied the terahertz time-domain polarimetry (THz-TDP) method to diagnose the terahertz polarization rotation angles induced by an argon inductively coupled plasma (ICP).

For surveillance video management in university laboratories, issues such as occlusion and low-resolution face capture often arise. Traditional face recognition algorithms are typically static and rely heavily on clear images, resulting in inaccurate recognition for low-resolution, small-sized faces. To address the challenges of occlusion and low-resolution person identification, this paper proposes a new face recognition framework by reconstructing Retinaface-Resnet and combining it with Quality-Adaptive Margin (adaface).

As one of the most harmful heavy metal pollutants, hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) is becoming a serious threat to human health. Thus pursuing a remarkably sensitive method to monitor the Cr(VI) concentration in natural conditions is favored for the fast response to prevent harm. In the present work, an ethylenediamine (En) and SiO-modified wool keratin-based carbon quantum dot (CQD)(En@CQDs@SiO) fluorescent sensor is prepared, and the En is found to improve the discrimination ability by binding the Cr(VI) with the surface carboxyl groups.

The study aimed to elucidate the underlying pharmacological mechanism of the traditional Chinese medicine Pue in ameliorating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI), a critical clinical challenge exacerbated by reperfusion therapy. In vivo MIRI and in vitro anoxia/reoxygenation (A/R) models were constructed. The results demonstrated that Pue pretreatment effectively alleviated MIRI, as manifested by diminishing the levels of serum CK-MB and LDH, mitigating the extent of myocardial infarction and enhancing cardiac functionality.

Deep phenotyping can enhance the power of genetic analysis, including genome-wide association studies (GWAS), but the occurrence of missing phenotypes compromises the potential of such resources. Although many phenotypic imputation methods have been developed, the accurate imputation of millions of individuals remains challenging. In the present study, we have developed a multi-phenotype imputation method based on mixed fast random forest (PIXANT) by leveraging efficient machine learning (ML)-based algorithms.

Objective: The short-term efficacy of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion among general traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients is unclear.

Methods: We used the MIMIC database to compare the efficacy of liberal (10 g/dL) versus conservative (7 g/dL) transfusion strategy in TBI patients. The outcomes were neurological progression (decrease of Glasgow coma scale (GCS) of at least 2 points) and death within 28 days of ICU admission.

Statement Of Problem: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been used in clinical dentistry because of its excellent physical and biological properties. However, achieving an effective and durable bond with enamel is challenging because of its chemical inertness and low surface energy, and data on the effects of different surface treatments on the durability of PEEK-enamel bonds are scarce.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate airborne-particle abrasion, sulfuric acid etching, and the combined use of these treatments on the bonding durability of PEEK-enamel bonds and to gain a deeper understanding of their bonding mechanism.

The relative motion of the reticle stage and wafer stage caused by vibration during the scanning exposure process of the lithography machine is an important factor that affects the imaging quality under limited lithography ability. In this paper, the influence of the vibration of the lithography stage system on the lithography imaging quality is studied. The lithography model including the vibration error of the stage is taken into account in the framework of source and mask optimization (SMO).

Article Synopsis
  • The reaction of four 1,2-dibromoxylenes with two tetra-3-pyridylporphyrins resulted in the creation of a metal-free organic nanocage (oNC) that was produced in a highly efficient 91.5% yield.
  • The synthesized oNC was subsequently metalated with cobalt(II), copper(II), and nickel(II) ions to produce dinuclear complexes, which were characterized using various analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry and X-ray diffraction.
  • The cofacial cobalt porphyrins showed significant potential as catalysts for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction, demonstrating high selectivity for producing hydroxyl during electrochemical processes, while the robust architecture of the oNC allows for potential applications with

Conductive polymer foam (CPF) with excellent compressibility and variable resistance has promising applications in electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and other integrated functions for wearable electronics. However, its insufficient change amplitude of resistance with compressive strain generally leads to a degradation of shielding performance during deformation. Here, an innovative loading strategy of conductive materials on polymer foam is proposed to significantly increase the contact probability and contact area of conductive components under compression.

  • A study tracked 281 COVID-19 survivors in Guangdong, China, over one year to investigate psychological and physical sequelae after hospital discharge, assessing factors in both early (2, 4, 12 weeks) and late (24, 48 weeks) stages.
  • Results showed that while psychological and physical issues were prevalent in both stages, there was a notable decrease in symptoms such as depression and anxiety from the early to late stage, indicating a gradual improvement over time.
  • The study identified significant associations between these health outcomes and factors like gender, age, COVID-19 severity, duration of hospitalization, and pre-existing conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • Rapid restoration of blood flow in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can prevent sudden death, but it may also cause further heart damage known as ischemia/reperfusion (I/RI) injury.
  • Curcumin from turmeric has shown potential protective effects against I/RI injury, though its specific molecular mechanisms are not fully understood.
  • In this study, curcumin improved cell survival and reduced cellular damage and apoptosis in heart cells subjected to anoxia/reoxygenation injury, suggesting it may be a beneficial treatment strategy in managing AMI.

  • LncRNAs play a crucial role in managing oxidative stress during the development of mammalian ovarian follicles, particularly affecting granulosa cells.
  • The study found that TAB2 enhances the expression of protective proteins like SOD1, thereby reducing oxidative stress and promoting the survival and growth of granulosa cells.
  • An antisense lncRNA of TAB2, TAB2-AS, was identified, showing that its transcription is regulated by DNA methylation, which supports follicular growth by similarly decreasing oxidative stress and promoting granulosa cell proliferation.
