Intelligent Bionic Polarization Orientation Method Using Biological Neuron Model for Harsh Conditions.

We developed an intelligent innovative orientation method to improve the accuracy of polarization compasses in harsh conditions: weak skylight polarization patterns resulting from unfavorable weather conditions (e.g., haze, sandstorms) or locally destroyed skylight polarization conditions caused by occlusions (e.

Double chain system for online and offline medical data sharing private and consortium blockchain: A system design study.

With the informatization development and digital construction in the healthcare industry, electronic medical records and Internet medicine facilitate people's medical treatment. However, the current data storage method has the risk of data loss, leakage, and tampering, and can't support extensive and secure sharing of medical data. To realize effective and secure medical data storage and sharing among offline medical institutions and Internet medicine platforms, this study used a combined private blockchain and consortium blockchain to design a medical blockchain double-chain system (MBDS).

Biofilm Alterations on the Stepwise Acquisition of Fluconazole-resistant Isolates.

Unlabelled: By assessing and comparing the phenotypic changes on the stepwise acquisition of fluconazole resistant isolates, we could find and describe the relationship between drug resistance and biofilm formation ability in a series of clonal strains.

Methods: We performed antifungal susceptibility of five drugs (fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, caspofungin and amphotericin B) to further verify the antifungal activity of the six isolates . Then we combined hyphal formation assay, cell surface hydrophobicity test positively related to adherence ability, and biofilm assays to observe and compare the phenotypic characteristics of our six clonal strains.

Systematic Analysis of the Lysine Succinylome in Candida albicans.

Candida albicans is the most common human fungal pathogen for both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals. Lysine succinylation is a frequently occurring post-translational modification that is found in many organisms; however, the role of succinylation is still under investigation. Here, we initiated a first screening of lysine succinylation in C.

Systematic Analysis of the Lysine Acetylome in Candida albicans.

Candida albicans (C. albicans) is a worldwide cause of fungal infectious diseases. As a general post-translational modification (PTM), lysine acetylation of proteins play an important regulatory role in almost every cell.
