Numerous bacterial pathogens have evolved tactics to interfere with the host ubiquitination network to evade clearance by the innate immune system. Nevertheless, the subtle antagonism between a bacterial ubiquitinase and a host deubiquitinase, through which they modify their respective targets within a multifaceted network, has yet to be characterized. BRCC3 isopeptidase complex (BRISC) is a newly identified K63-specific deubiquitinase complex that plays a crucial role in cellular signaling pathways such as inflammation.

Considering Henan Province as the research area, based on land use data with a resolution of 30 m in 2000, 2010, and 2020, we analyzed the distribution of the production-living-ecological space and the quality of the ecological environment in Henan Province using land transfer matrices and an eco-environmental effect model. Furthermore, based on 2020 land use data, the PLUS model was used to simulate land use data for the years 2030, 2040, and 2050 under three scenarios: natural development, production priority, and ecological priority. Finally, we calculated the ecological environment quality index and ecological contribution rate.

The increasing demand for denser information storage and faster data processing has fueled a keen interest in exploring spin currents up to terahertz (THz) frequencies. Emergent 2D intrinsic magnetic materials constitute a novel and highly controllable platform to access such femtosecond spin dynamics at atomic layer thickness. However, the function of 2D van der Waals magnets are limited by their Curie temperatures, which are usually low.

The mangrove ecosystems store a significant amount of "blue carbon" to mitigate global climate change, but also serve as hotspots for greenhouse gases (GHGs: CO, CH and NO) production. The CH and NO emissions offset mangrove carbon benefits, however, the extent of this effect remains inadequately quantified. By applying the 36 h time-series observations and mapping cruises, here we investigated the spatial and temporal distribution of GHGs and their fluxes in Dongzhaigang (DZG) bay, the largest mangrove ecosystem in China, at tidal and monthly scales.

Understanding and manipulating magnetic damping, particularly in magnetic heterostructures, is crucial for fundamental research, versatile engineering, and optimization. Although magnetic damping can be enhanced by the band hybridization between ferromagnetic and nonmagnetic materials at the interface, the contribution of individual subbands on the hybridized bands to magnetic damping is fully unexplored. Here, it is found that magnetic damping α is modified by the Fermi level in Fe/GeTe heterostructures via Bi doping.

In this work, combining the density functional theory (DFT) calculations and the ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations, the water adsorption behavior, including the molecular and the dissociative adsorption on the negatively polarized (0 0 1) surface of ferroelectric PbTiO was comprehensively studied. Our theoretical results show that the dissociative adsorption of water is more energetically favorable than the molecular adsorption on the pristine PbTiO (0 0 1) surface. It has been also found that introducing surface oxygen vacancies (O) can enhance the thermodynamic stability of dissociative adsorption of water molecule.

The photocatalytic efficiency can be improved by constructing a Z-scheme heterojunction, but hindered by the only half utilization efficiency of photogenerated carriers. Thus, a novel material, UiO-66-NH@TAPB-BTCA-COP-Ag (U6N@COP-Ag), with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect synergistic Z-scheme heterostructure has been prepared by depositing Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on TAPB-BTCA-COP (COP)-coated UiO-66-NH. The deposited Ag NPs expand the range of light absorption and introduce more photogenerated electrons in the composite.

Motion artifacts compromise the quality of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and pose challenges to achieving diagnostic outcomes and image-guided therapies. In recent years, supervised deep learning approaches have emerged as successful solutions for motion artifact reduction (MAR). One disadvantage of these methods is their dependency on acquiring paired sets of motion artifact-corrupted (MA-corrupted) and motion artifact-free (MA-free) MR images for training purposes.
