A Wide-Angle and PON Fully Polarimetric Retrodirective Array at the X Band.

A new type of fully polarimetric retrodirective array (RDA) using a PON-type structure is proposed in this paper. The fully polarimetric property is the result of the proposed phase conjugation circuits, which perform phase conjugation processing on the x, y, and z polarization electric field components of the incident wave when combined with a tri-polarized antenna array. It enables the retrodirective array to receive and retransmit an arbitrary polarized incident wave.

Niche Expansion Has Increased the Risk of Fisher LaSalle Invasions at the Global Scale.

Invasive alien species often undergo shifts in their ecological niches when they establish themselves in environments that differ from their native habitats. Fisher LaSalle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), specifically, has caused huge economic losses to trees in Australia. The global spread of cultivation has allowed to threaten plantations beyond its native habitat.

Protective Effects of Dioscin and Diosgenin on Plateau Hyperuricemia by Attenuating Renal Inflammation via EPHX2.

Plateau hyperuricemia is a common disease in the plateau area, and the incidence is much higher than that in the plain area. Dioscin (DIO) and its active metabolite Diosgenin (DG) exert therapeutic effects on hyperuricemia through oxidative stress and inflammation. In this study, DIO and its active metabolite DG were taken as the research objects to explore their therapeutic effects on high-altitude hyperuricemia in rats.

The Effects of Cooking Methods on Gel Properties, Lipid Quality, and Flavor of Surimi Gels Fortified with Antarctic Krill () Oil as High Internal Phase Emulsions.

In this study, silver carp surimi products enriched with Antarctic krill oil high internal phase emulsions (AKO-HIPEs) were cooked using steaming (STE), microwave heating (MIC), and air-frying (AIR), respectively. The gel and flavor properties, lipid quality and stability were investigated. Compared to the MIC and AIR groups, the STE surimi gel added with HIPEs had better texture properties, exhibiting higher water-holding capacity and a more homogeneous structure, while the air-frying treatment resulted in visually brighter surimi products.

Long Non-Coding RNAs as Diagnostic Biomarkers for Ischemic Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Ischemic stroke is a serious cerebrovascular disease, highlighting the urgent need for reliable biomarkers for early diagnosis. Recent reports suggest that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can be potential biomarkers for ischemic stroke. Therefore, our study seeks to investigate the potential diagnostic value of lncRNAs for ischemic stroke by analyzing existing research.
