Theoretical Study of the Adsorption and Sensing Properties of Cr-Doped SnP Monolayer for Dissolved Characteristic Gases in Oil.

Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is a vital method for the online detection of transformer operation state. The adsorption performance of a SnP monolayer modified by transition metal Cr regarding six characteristic gases (CO, CH, CH, CH, H, CH) dissolved in oil was studied. The study reveals the relevant adsorption and gas-sensing response mechanisms through calculations of the adsorption energy, density of states, differential charge density, energy gap, and recovery time.

Atacama desert actinomycetes: taxonomic analysis, drought tolerance and plant growth promoting potential.

This study was designed to recover representative culturable actinomycetes from the Atacama Desert, and to detect their ability to promote plant growth under drought conditions. Environmental samples were taken from three Atacama Desert habitats, namely, from the Aguas Calientes, Lomas Bayas and Yungay core regions. With one exception higher actinomycete counts were obtained when isolation media were inoculated with mineral particles than with corresponding aliquots of serial dilution.

gen. nov., sp. nov. and gen. nov., sp. nov. isolated from coral tissue: proposal of two new families, fam. nov. and fam. nov.

A genome-based polyphasic approach was used to determine the taxonomic status of two novel bacterial strains, SCSIO 12594 and SCSIO 12813, isolated from tissues of a coral. Both strains were Gram-stain-negative and facultatively anaerobic. The genome sizes of strains SCSIO 12594 and SCSIO 12813 were 3.

[Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Pancreatic Cystic Lesion Imaging].

As the detection rate of pancreatic cystic lesions(PCL)increases,artificial intelligence(AI)has made breakthroughs in the imaging workflow of PCL,including image post-processing,lesion detection,segmentation,diagnosis and differential diagnosis.AI-based image post-processing can optimize the quality of medical images and AI-assisted models for lesion detection,segmentation,diagnosis and differential diagnosis significantly enhance the work efficiency of radiologists.This article reviews the application progress of AI in PCL imaging and provides prospects for future research directions.

Bacteria undergo significant shifts while archaea maintain stability in Pocillopora damicornis under sustained heat stress.

Global warming reportedly poses a critical risk to coral reef ecosystems. Bacteria and archaea are crucial components of the coral holobiont. The response of archaea associated with warming is less well understood than that of the bacterial community in corals.

Biocrust reduces the soil erodibility of coral calcareous sand by regulating microbial community and extracellular polymeric substances on tropical coral island, South China Sea.

Tropical coral islands assume a pivotal role in the conservation of oceanic ecosystem biodiversity. However, their distinctive environmental attributes and limited vegetation render them highly susceptible to soil erosion. The biological soil crust (biocrust), owing to its significant ecological role in soil stabilization and erosion prevention, is deemed an effective means of mitigating soil erosion on coral island.

Should All Pancreatic Cystic Lesions with Worrisome or High-Risk Features Be Resected? A Clinical and Radiological Machine Learning Model May Help to Answer.

Rationale And Objectives: According to current guidelines, pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) with worrisome or high-risk features may have overtreatment. The purpose of this study was to build a clinical and radiological based machine-learning (ML) model to identify malignant PCLs for surgery among preoperative PCLs with worrisome or high-risk features.

Materials And Methods: Clinical and radiological details of 317 pathologically confirmed PCLs with worrisome or high-risk features were retrospectively analyzed and applied to ML models including Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression (LR), Decision Tree, Bernoulli NB, Gaussian NB, K Nearest Neighbors and Linear Discriminant Analysis.

[Progress in the research of medial column reconstruction of proximal humerus fractures in the elderly].

The proximal medial column of the humerus is a continuous cortical region in the inner and lower part of the humerus head, which has attracted more and more attention in clinical and scientific research since it was proposed. It has been shown to increase the stability of internal fixation, maintain the height of the humeral head to prevent varus, and reduce the risk of screw penetration. Biomechanical studies have also shown that the medial column has an outstanding performance in increasing the stiffness, torsion resistance, and shear resistance of the locking plate.

Actinobacteria From Desert: Diversity and Biotechnological Applications.

Deserts, as an unexplored extreme ecosystem, are known to harbor diverse actinobacteria with biotechnological potential. Both multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens and environmental issues have sharply raised the emerging demand for functional actinobacteria. From 2000 to 2021, 129 new species have been continuously reported from 35 deserts worldwide.

Characterization of YAG:Ce phosphor dosimeter by the co-precipitation method for radiotherapy.

Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) doped with Ce was synthesized via the co-precipitation method with as the precipitant. The spectroscopic properties and the effects of the Ce doping concentration and sintering atmosphere on the crystal phase were investigated. The dosimeter of YAG:Ce phosphor material was prepared to study the radioluminescence (RL) characteristics of a clinical linear accelerator.

Complementary and alternative therapies for knee osteoarthritis: A protocol for systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a degenerative disease, making a unique contribution to chronic pain, edema, and limited mobility of knee joint. This disease is an important factor affecting the quality of life of middle-aged and elderly people. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies have been used clinically to treat KOA; however, the selection strategies of different CAM interventions in clinical practice are still uncertain, and the purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and acceptability of different CAM therapies using systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Rare taxa and dark microbial matter: novel bioactive actinobacteria abound in Atacama Desert soils.

An "in house" taxonomic approach to drug discovery led to the isolation of diverse actinobacteria from hyper-arid, extreme hyper-arid and very high altitude Atacama Desert soils. A high proportion of the isolates were assigned to novel taxa, with many showing activity in standard antimicrobial plug assays. The application of more advanced taxonomic and screening strategies showed that strains classified as novel species of Lentzea and Streptomyces synthesised new specialised metabolites thereby underpinning the premise that the extreme abiotic conditions in the Atacama Desert favour the development of a unique actinobacterial diversity which is the basis of novel chemistry.
