The impact of different turbulence on beams can be seen as optical distortions caused by refractive index fluctuations around vortices in turbulence. Therefore, from the perspective of transmission effects, the transmission outcomes of beam in different turbulences can be mutually equivalent. Since the mechanisms of beam propagation in compressible turbulence are not yet fully understood and the relevant theories are not well-established, a preliminary analysis of beam transmission in compressible turbulence is necessary.

Drawing upon social cognitive theory, our study proposes a dual-stage moderated mediation model that utilizes moral disengagement as the mediator and self-serving political will as the moderator to investigate whether, how, and when team-oriented citizenship pressure leads to pro-group unethical behavior. Data were collected through questionnaires from 527 Chinese employees in various industries. Amos and Process macro were used to test the model's fit and hypotheses, respectively.

Anxiety is a prevalent and disabling psychiatric disorder. Mitochondrial dysfunction due to the high-fat diet (HFD) was regarded as a risk factor in the pathogenesis of anxiety. The Sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway was known to improve mitochondrial dysfunction through antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects on some neurological diseases.

Here, the high-strength, high-ductility blends of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) and 3-aminophenylboronic acid (APBA) were successfully prepared via a melt-bending method. The effects of APBA addition on the mechanical and thermal properties, morphologies, and crystallization behavior of the blends were investigated. The results showed that the addition of APBA endowed the PLA/ESO/APBA blends with a good balance of strength and toughness.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how two transcription factors, Haa1p and Tye7p, help improve the fermentation performance and resistance to inhibitors in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is crucial for bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass.
  • Through comparative transcriptomic analyses, it was found that overexpressing these factors enhances various metabolic pathways, leading to better tolerance against inhibitors like acetic acid and furfural.
  • Haa1p and Tye7p regulate energy supply differently; Haa1p boosts oxidative phosphorylation for energy, while Tye7p focuses on increasing glycolysis, highlighting distinct regulatory mechanisms for enhancing yeast performance.

To improve cathodic HO accumulation and Fe reduction synchronously in the electro-Fenton (EF) process, a microbubble-assisted rotary tubular titanium cathode (MRTTC) was designed for the first time. By utilizing this MRTTC, HO accumulation improved by 4.05-fold, along with a 200% enhancement in iron reduction compared to the conventional EF process.

In a free space optical communication system based on vortex beams, the effects of spread and crosstalk caused by atmospheric turbulence should not be ignored. The orbital angular momentum (OAM) spectrum of the signal based on elliptic Gaussian beam (EGB) after propagation through non-Kolmogorov turbulent atmosphere are deduced, and a theoretical model of the spiral spectrum of EGB propagating through turbulent atmosphere is obtained. Numerically calculated OAM modes detection and crosstalk probability under different ellipticity parameters.

Objective: This paper aims to compare the performance of several commonly known machine-learning (ML) models versus a classic Autoregression with Exogenous inputs (ARX) model in the prediction of blood glucose (BG) levels using time-series data of patients with Type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Methods: The ML algorithms include ML-based regression models and deep learning models such as a vanilla Long-Short-Term-Memory (LSTM) Network and a Temporal Convolution Network (TCN). Evaluations have been conducted with respect to different input features, regression model orders, as well as using the recursive method or direct method for multi-step prediction of BG levels.

Objective: This paper aims to develop an algorithm that can detect unannounced meals and estimate meal sizes to achieve a robust glucose control.

Methods: A variable state dimension (VSD) algorithm is developed to detect unannounced meals and estimate meal sizes, where a Kalman filter operates on a quiescent state model when no meal is detected, and switches to a maneuvering state model to estimate meal information once the meal-induced glucose variability is statistically significant.

Results: Through evaluation using 30 subjects of the UVa/Padova simulator, a basal-bolus (BB) control using the VSD-estimated meal size for each meal can achieve mean blood glucose (BG) of 142 mg/dl with an average 17.
