The capacity to detect shorelines is critical for the autonomous navigation of Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs). The majority of extant methods are unable to adapt to the discrimination of high similarity features between the shore and reflections in complex and diverse environments. Moreover, they are also incapable of accurately extracting fuzzy boundaries caused by different scenes and climatic conditions.

Titanium alloy porous scaffolds possess excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility, making them promising for applications in bone tissue engineering. The integration of triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) with porous scaffolds provides a structural resemblance to the trabecular and cortical bone structures of natural bone tissue, effectively reducing stress-shielding effects, enabling the scaffold to withstand complex stress environments, and facilitating nutrient transport. In this study, we designed fused porous scaffolds based on the Gyroid and Diamond units within TPMS and fabricated samples using selective laser melting technology.

has relatively small gills and gill pores, leading to a relatively low respiratory capacity and increased vulnerability to low dissolved oxygen (DO) levels compared to other fish. To investigate the responses of to acute hypoxic stress, high-throughput-sequencing-based transcriptomic analyses were conducted here to assess the responses of gills to acute hypoxic stress. Three environmental conditions were compared including normoxia (DO: 7.

Ginseng, a kind of functional food and medicine with high nutritional value, contains various pharmacological metabolites that influence human metabolic functions. Therefore, it is very important to analyze the composition and metabolites of ginseng. However, the analysis of active metabolites in ginseng samples usually involves various experimental steps, such as extraction, chromatographic separation, and characterization, which may be time-consuming and laborious.

Solid-state hydrogen storage based on metal hydrides is considered a promising method for hydrogen storage. However, the low inherent thermal conductivity of metal hydride powder significantly limits the hydrogenation/dehydrogenation process in the metal hydride bed. Accurate measurement and improvement of the effective thermal conductivity of a hydride bed is of great significance for design of solid-state hydrogen storage devices.

Background: Studies evaluating the association of blood level of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) with adverse prognosis have yielded conflicting results in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This meta-analysis sought to evaluate the prognostic value of blood level of NT-proBNP in patients with AMI.

Methods: Two authors independently searched articles in PubMed and Embase databases up to June 13, 2021.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has caused worldwide economic losses in the swine industry. Pigs infected with highly pathogenic (HP)-PRRSV display more severe symptoms than those infected with classical (C)-PRRSV. A rapid, sensitive, and reliable detection method to distinguish between HP-PRRSV and C-PRRSV is needed.

Background: Previous studies identified conflicting results about the effects of wine intake on glucose parameters and the risk of cardiovascular diseases in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The present study further investigated the association between wine digestion and these outcomes in T2DM patients.

Material And Methods: A search of PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases (up to November 2018) was performed for randomized interventional trials which evaluated the effect of wine on blood pressure (BP), glucose parameters and lipid profiles in T2DM people.

This work studied the effect of age at photostimulation on reproductive performance of Beijing-You Chicken (BYC) breeders. A total of 384 fourteen-week-old BYC breeder hens were randomly allocated to 4 treatments of 96 birds each, with 2 replicates per treatment. The treatments represent photostimulation at 16, 18, 20, and 22 wk of age, respectively (PS16, PS18, PS20, and PS22) by incrementally increasing day length from 8L:16D to 14L:10D and by increasing lighting intensity from 10 to 80 lx.

Magnesium hydride and its compounds have a high hydrogen storage capacity and are inexpensive, and thus have been considered as one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials for on-board applications. Nevertheless, Mg/MgH systems suffer from great drawbacks in terms of kinetics and thermodynamics for hydrogen uptake/release. Over the past decades, although significant progress has been achieved with respect to hydrogen sorption kinetics in Mg/MgH systems, their high thermal stability remains the main drawback, which hinders their practical applications.

Background: Beak deformity, typically expressed as the crossing of upper and lower mandibles, is found in several indigenous chicken breeds, including the Beijing-You chickens studied here. Beak deformity severely impairs the birds' growth and welfare. Although previous studies shed some light on the genetic regulation of this complex trait, the genetic basis of this malformation remains incompletely understood.

PKD1 and PKD2 mutations could lead to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), which afflicts millions of people worldwide. Due to the marked differences in the lifespan, size, anatomy, and physiology from humans, rodent ADPKD models cannot fully mimic the disease. To obtain a large animal model that recapitulates the disease, we constructed a mini-pig model by mono-allelic knockout (KO) of PKD1 using zinc finger nuclease.

The key regulatory elements for PKD2 transcription remain unclear. To identify these core elements, we characterized porcine PKD2 promoter with bioinformatics and molecular tools and found porcine PKD2 promoter bearing typical features of enriched CpG and less TATA. Further studies demonstrated that the core region was located in fragment -483 to +100.

Environmental pollution can cause poisoning, disease and death of organisms, and the absorption and the accumulation of different biological tissues on pollutants are different. The absorption of heavy metal elements of various biological tissues on pollutants is an important biomedical research problem. In the present paper, a laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) method was used to quantitatively analyze heavy metal elements in various tissues of some contaminated fish samples.

After several decades of research, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is still incurable and imposes enormous physical, psychological, and economic burdens on patients and their families. Murine models of ADPKD represent invaluable tools for studying this disease. These murine forms of ADPKD can arise spontaneously, or they can be induced via chemical or genetic manipulations.
