Strain-Compensated Quantum Well Asymmetric Waveguide Edge-Emitting Laser Operating at 730 nm.

Semiconductor lasers operating at the 730 nm peak wavelength have diverse applications, including biomedical diagnostics, agricultural lighting, and high-precision sensing. However, quantum well (QW) materials, commonly employed at this wavelength, often fail to simultaneously meet the dual requirements of lattice matching and bandgap alignment. In this study, GaAsP/AlGaInP large strain compensation QW with lattice mismatches of -7.

Neutrophil extracellular traps regulating tumorimmunity in hepatocellular carcinoma.

As a component of the innate immune system, there is emerging evidence to suggest that neutrophils may play a critical role in the initiation and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are web-like chromatin structures that protrude from the membranes during neutrophil activation. Recent research has shown that NETs, which are at the forefront of the renewed interest in neutrophil studies, are increasingly intertwined with HCC.

A risk signature based on endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated genes predicts prognosis and immunity in pancreatic cancer.

The involvement of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in cancer biology is increasingly recognized, yet its role in pancreatic cancer (PC) remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate the impact of ER stress on prognosis and biological characteristics in PC patients. A bioinformatic analysis was conducted using RNA-seq data and clinicopathological information from PC patients in the TCGA and ICGC databases.

Comprehensive Testing of Sulfate Erosion Damage of Concrete Structures and Analysis of Silane Coating Protection Effect.

In order to study the protection performance of silane coating on in-service concrete structures in a sulfate environment, we collect concrete samples in the field to simulate the concrete erosion process by accelerated erosion with wetting-drying cycles. We place the samples into protected, exposed and control groups corresponding to a corrosive environment with silane protection, corrosive environment without protection and general environment for three different service conditions. A combination of ultrasonic velocimetry, CT (Computed Tomography) scan imaging, NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) pore structure analysis, strength testing and other methods are used to analyze the strength, ultrasonic wave velocity, pore structure and other characteristics of the specimens during sulfate erosion.

Evaluation of Corrosion Damage in Sulfate-Attacked Concrete by CT, Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Testing and AHP Methods.

Coarse aggregate in concrete is basically free from sulfate corrosion. If the influence of the coarse aggregate in the concrete is not eliminated, the change amount of the concrete ultrasonic pulse velocity value is directly used to evaluate the damage degree of sulfate corrosion in the concrete, and the results are often inaccurate. This paper presents an evaluation method of corrosion damage for the sulfate-attacked concrete by CT, ultrasonic velocity testing and AHP methods.

Slope Micrometeorological Analysis and Prediction Based on an ARIMA Model and Data-Fitting System.

The rapid development of highway engineering has made slope stability an important issue in infrastructure construction. To meet the needs of green vegetation growth, ecological recovery, landscape beautification and the economy, long-term monitoring research on high-slope micrometeorology has important practical significance. Because of that, we designed and created a new slope micrometeorological monitoring and predicting system (SMMPS).

Analysis and Prediction of Sulfate Erosion Damage of Concrete in Service Tunnel Based on ARIMA Model.

Sulfate erosion is a major cause of concrete durability deteriorations, especially for the service tunnels that suffer sulfate erosion for a long time. Accurately predicting the concrete damage failure under sulfate erosion has been a challenging problem in the evaluation and maintenance of concrete structures. Here we design the dry-wet cycle test of service tunnel concrete under sulfate erosion and analyze the Elastic relative dynamic modulus (Erd) and mass under 35 times cycle periods.

LncRNA SNHG16 contributes to tumor progression via the miR-302b-3p/SLC2A4 axis in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Background: It has been reported that the lncRNA SNHG16 has significantly increased expression in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PC). However, the functions and mechanisms of SNHG16 are not clear. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of SNHG16 on PC.
