Theoretical evidence of H-He demixing under Jupiter and Saturn conditions.

The immiscibility of hydrogen-helium mixture under the temperature and pressure conditions of planetary interiors is crucial for understanding the structures of gas giant planets (e.g., Jupiter and Saturn).

Research progress on pharmacological properties and application of probiotics in the fermentation of Georgi.

Georgi is a medicinal herb with a rich history of use in traditional Chinese medicine. This review concentrates on the chemical constituents of Georgi, with a particular emphasis on flavonoids such as baicalin, baicalein, and wogonin. Additionally, it examines the effects of probiotic fermentation on the plant's chemical profile and pharmacological actions.

Progress of research and application of () as probiotic bacteria.

Probiotics are defined as living or dead bacteria and their byproducts that maintain the balance of the intestinal microbiome. They are non-toxic, non-pathogenic, and do not release any toxins either within or outside the body. Adequate consumption of probiotics can enhance metabolite production, increase immunity, maintain a balanced intestinal flora, and stimulate growth.

Strain-Induced Surface Interface Dual Polarization Constructs PML-Cu/BiOBr High-Density Active Sites for CO Photoreduction.

The insufficient active sites and slow interfacial charge transfer of photocatalysts restrict the efficiency of CO photoreduction. The synchronized modulation of the above key issues is demanding and challenging. Herein, strain-induced strategy is developed to construct the Bi-O-bonded interface in Cu porphyrin-based monoatomic layer (PML-Cu) and BiOBr (BOB), which triggers the surface interface dual polarization of PML-Cu/BOB (PBOB).

Microstructure evolution under thermo-mechanical operating of rocksalt-structure TiN via neural network potential.

In the process of high temperature service, the mechanical properties of cutting tools decrease sharply due to the peeling of the protective coating. However, the mechanism of such coating failure remains obscure due to the complicated interaction between atomic structure, temperature, and stress. This dynamic evolution nature demands both large system sizes and accurate description on the atomic scale, raising challenges for existing atomic scale calculation methods.

[Clinical significance of PDGFRβ gene testing in hematological tumors].

Objective: To explore the clinical and laboratory characteristics of hematological tumors with different types of abnormalities in platelet derived growth factor β (PDGFRβ) gene.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out on 141 patients with abnormal long arm of chromosome 5 (5q) and comprehensive medical history data from Changhai Hospital Affiliated to Naval Medical University from 2009 to 2020, and their clinical data were collected. R-banding technique was used for chromosomal karyotyping analysis for the patient's bone marrow, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to detect the PDGFRβ gene.

is a traditional starter. Nowadays, key aspects of physiology have been revealed concerning the phenotypic traits relevant for industrial applications, including sugar metabolism, protein hydrolysis, and the production of important metabolites that affect the sensory properties of fermented foods as well as the original cooperation with subsp. .

Study on the Strengthening Mechanism of a MIBC-PEG Mixed Surfactant on Foam Stability.

In the flotation process, the frother, which is typically a surfactant, can be added to the pulp to reduce the surface tension and create stable foam. Currently, the nonionic mixed surfactant is widely employed as the frother for fine coal flotation. In this study, we focused on examining the foam properties of a mixed surfactant comprising short-chain methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) and long-chain polyethylene glycol-1000 (PEG).

Recent Advances and Future Prospects of Mycosporine-like Amino Acids.

Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) are a class of water-soluble active substances produced by various aquatic organisms. However, due to the limitations of low accumulation of MAAs in organisms, the cumbersome extraction process, difficult identification, and high cost, MAAs have not yet been widely used in human life. Recently, there has been an emergence of heterologous synthesis for MAAs, making increasing yield the key to the quantification and application of MAAs.

Probiotics: functional food ingredients with the potential to reduce hypertension.

Hypertension is an increasingly pressing public health concern across the globe. It can be triggered by a variety of factors such as age and diet, as well as the stress of modern life. The traditional treatment of hypertension includes calcium ion blockers, angiotensin II receptor inhibitors and β-receptor blockers, but these drugs have at least some side effects.

Stripping mechanism and Gaussian distribution model of a concave bionic comb for stripping prior to cutting.

Stripping prior to cutting is a harvesting technique that only strips rice grains and obtains complete straws. This paper aims to solve the problems of high loss rate and short throwing distance for stripping prior to cutting. A concave bionic comb was developed based on the filiform papilla structure on the surface of a cattle tongue tip.

Development and validation of a prognostic 9-gene signature for colorectal cancer.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent cancers globally with a high mortality rate. Predicting prognosis using disease progression and cancer pathologic stage is insufficient, and a prognostic factor that can accurately evaluate patient prognosis needs to be developed. In this study, we aimed to infer a prognostic gene signature to identify a functional signature associated with the prognosis of CRC patients.

First-principles study of Mn antisite defect in LiMnO.

Lithium-rich layered LiMnOis regarded as a new generation cathode material for lithium-ion batteries because of its high energy density. Due to the different preparation methods and technological parameters, there are a lot of intrinsic defects in LiMnO. One frequently observed defect in experiments is Mn antisite defect (Mn).

Synergistic Adsorption Mechanism of Anionic and Cationic Surfactant Mixtures on Low-Rank Coal Flotation.

Mixed surfactants have a prominent synergistic effect and show advantages in many aspects. In this work, the effects of a mixture of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on the flotation of low-rank coal were studied from the wetting rate, contact angle, surface tension, and zeta potential. Furthermore, the adsorption configuration of the mixed surfactant on the surface of oxygen-containing graphite was simulated at the molecular level by molecular dynamics simulation.

Corrosion monitoring using a new compressed sensing-based tomographic method.

Corrosion damage of aircraft structures can significantly reduce the structural performance and endanger flight safety. There is a pressing need for research on aircraft structural corrosion monitoring technology. Lamb wave tomography (LWT) can be used to evaluate structural corrosion.

Recovering unburned carbon from gasification fly ash using saline water.

Gasification fly ash is one of the wastes generated by coal gasifiers, and the unburned carbon therein seriously restricts the resource utilization of gasification fly ash. Flotation is one of the best ways to recover unburned carbon from it; however, surface pores of gasification fly ash are developed and contain several hollow hydrophilic glass beads, which makes it difficult for conventional flotation to recover unburned carbon effectively and the dosage of the flotation reagent is too high. In this study, different concentrations of saline water (NaCl, MgCl, and AlCl) are configured to the flotation solution, and their effect on the recovery of unburned carbon of gasification fly ash is investigated.
