Olfactory memory forms the basis for biological perception and environmental adaptation. Advancing artificial intelligence to replicate this biological perception as artificial olfactory memory is essential. The widespread use of various robotic systems, intelligent wearable devices, and artificial olfactory memories modeled after biological olfactory memory is anticipated.

Few studies have examined whether glucocorticoid replacement (GR) therapy is required after retroperitoneal laparoscopic unilateral adrenal adenoma resection in patients with non-cortisol secreting tumors, or whether there is any correlation between preoperative biochemical indicators and postoperative cortisol function. This study sought to investigate which patients with non-cortisol secreting tumors required GR therapy after undergoing retroperitoneal laparoscopic resection of unilateral adrenal cortical adenoma.

Gas sensing is pivotal in critical areas such as industrial production and food safety. This study explores the gas classification capabilities of MXene-based gas sensors. Pure VCT MXene and an MXene/WO nanocomposite were synthesized, and MXene-based gas sensors were integrated into a 2 × 2 rudimentary electronic nose array.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been proved to play a key role in response to drought stress. However, genome-wide identification and characterization of drought-responsive lncRNAs in sugar beet is still lacking.

Therefore, this paper proposes a robust denoising method based on a non-local fully convolutional neural network (NL-FCNN). In this neural network, the Leaky-ReLU activation function is employed to maintain the information contained in the negative value of the signal.
