Sex Identification of a Multispecies Carinatae Birds by Chicken EE0.6 Gene Using Real-Time Recombinase-Aid Amplification Assay.

The difficulty in bird sex identification has made molecular sexing an important way to solve this problem. The conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods are time-consuming and dependent on laboratory equipment. Recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) is a rapid, specific, sensitive, and cost-effective isothermal nucleic acid amplification technique.

Precision Electrochemical Micro-Machining of Molybdenum in Neutral Salt Solution Based on Electrochemical Analysis.

Molybdenum is an important material in modern industry, widely used in extreme environments such as rocket engine nozzles and microelectrodes due to its high melting point, excellent mechanical properties, and thermal conductivity. However, as a difficult-to-machine metal, traditional machining methods struggle to achieve the desired microstructures in molybdenum. Electrochemical machining (ECM) offers unique advantages in manufacturing fine structures from hard-to-machine metals.

Recombinase-aid amplification combined with lateral flow detection assay for sex identification of the great white pelican (Pelecanus onocrotalus).

Sex identification in avian species is essential for biodiversity conservation and ecological studies. However, the sex of nearly half of the birds could not be identified based on their external appearance. It is difficult to visually identify sex to monitor the ecology and conservation of wild populations.

Study of Mass Transfer Enhancement of Electrolyte Flow Field by Rotating Cathode in Through-Mask Electrochemical Micromachining.

To solve the problem of the nonuniform distribution of temperature and electrolytic products in the electrolyte flow field during through-mask electrochemical micromachining, the use of a rotating cathode with surface structures is proposed. The rotation of the cathode increases the efficiency of heat and mass transfer by the electrolyte flow. Simulations are performed to analyze the influence of the type of surface structure, the number of surface structures, and the rotational speed of the cathode on the electrolyte flow field.

High-efficiency and low-energy ship recognition strategy based on spiking neural network in SAR images.

Ship recognition using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images has important applications in the military and civilian fields. Aiming at the problems of the many model parameters and high-energy losses in the traditional deep learning methods for the target recognition in the SAR images, this study has proposed a high-efficiency and low-energy ship recognition strategy based on the spiking neural network (SNN) in the SAR images. First, the visual attention mechanism is used to extract the visual saliency map from the SAR image, and then the Poisson encoder is used to encode it into a spike train, which can suppress the background noise while retaining the visual saliency feature of the SAR image.

Influence of Different Tool Electrode Materials on Electrochemical Discharge Machining Performances.

Electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) is an emerging method for developing micro-channels in conductive or non-conductive materials. In order to machine the materials, it uses a combination of chemical and thermal energy. The tool electrode's arrangement is crucial for channeling these energies from the tool electrode to the work material.

Ultrasound-Assisted Through-Mask Electrochemical Machining of Hole Arrays in ODS Superalloy.

Micro-hole arrays have found wide applications in aerospace, precision instruments, and biomedicine. Among various methods of their production, including mechanical, laser, and electrical discharge, electrochemical machining (ECM) is considered the most lucrative due to its wide processing range, high surface quality, and excellent productivity. In particular, ultrasound-assisted through-mask ECM exhibits an enhanced machining precision due to ultrasonic cavitation, which promotes the removal of the electrolytic products and bubbles.

Ganoderma Lucidum Polysaccharide Peptide Alleviates Hepatoteatosis via Modulating Bile Acid Metabolism Dependent on FXR-SHP/FGF.

Background/aims: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) encompasses a series of pathologic changes ranging from steatosis to steatohepatitis, which may progress to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The purpose of this study was to determine whether ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide peptide (GLPP) has therapeutic effect on NAFLD.

Methods: Ob/ ob mouse model and ApoC3 transgenic mouse model were used for exploring the effect of GLPP on NAFLD.

A Study of Electrochemical Machining of Ti-6Al-4V in NaNO solution.

The titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V is used in many industries including aviation, automobile manufacturing, and medical equipment, because of its low density, extraordinary corrosion resistance and high specific strength. Electrochemical machining (ECM) is a non-traditional machining method that allows applications to all kinds of metallic materials in regardless of their mechanical properties. It is widely applied to the machining of Ti-6Al-4V components, which usually takes place in a multicomponent electrolyte solution.
