Hyperspectral imaging technology can record the spatial and spectral information of the targets and significantly enhance the levels of military reconnaissance and target detection. It has scientific importance to mimic "homochromatic and homospectral" camouflage materials that have hyperspectral similarity with the green vegetation, one of the most common natural backgrounds. It is a big challenge to exquisitely simulate the spectral of green vegetation in visible and near-infrared windows because of the slight differences between the artificial green dyes and vegetation, the instability of chlorophylls, and the easy loss of hydroxide bands due to the loss of water from the camouflage materials.

However, multi-functional guanine crystals occluded with fluorescent molecules have not been realized in the laboratory. Here, the controllable synthesis of guanine crystal microplatelets with fluorescence and pearlescence was achieved for the first time by incorporating Nile red (NR) or fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) molecules into guanine crystals.

We aimed to evaluate the utilization and impact of OMT on the main adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) in post-PCI patients and analyzed the factors predictive of OMT after discharge.
Methods: We collected data from 3812 individuals from 2016.
The algal blooming in the inland lakes has become a critically important issue for its impacts not only on local natural and social environments, but also on global human community. However, the occurrences of blooming on larger spatial scale and longer time scale have rarely been studied. As the third largest freshwater lake in China, Lake Taihu has drawn increasing attention from both public and scientific communities concerning its degradation.
