Photoluminescent Core-Shell Structural Porous Fibers-Based Metafabric for Colored Daytime Passive Radiative Cooling.

Passive radiative cooling technology provides a sustainable thermal management strategy for outdoor workers under extremely hot environments. However, daytime radiative cooling textiles typically appear white or mirror-like due to the near-complete reflection of sunlight, which poses a significant limitation for outdoor applications where visual aesthetics are important. Herein, we designed colored photoluminescent radiative cooling (CPRC) metafabrics, which are woven from carbon-dot-based coaxial porous fibers, to achieve effective radiative cooling without sacrificing color aesthetics.

EF-VPT-Net: Enhanced Feature-Based Vision Patch Transformer Network for Accurate Brain Tumor Segmentation in Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Brain tumor segmentation and the accurate detection of tumor types remain significant challenges due to image variability, tumor heterogeneity, and boundary demarcation difficulties. These challenges are exacerbated by limited annotated datasets, class imbalances, and the high computational cost of existing methods. Our study introduces the enhanced feature (EF)-based vision patch transformer network algorithm, which uses an EF module-based customized U-Net architecture.

Cellulose has been widely used in the field of biomass-based hydrogel sensing materials, being the most abundant biomass material in nature. This review mainly focuses on the types of cellulose hydrogels, the preparation methods and their applications in smart flexible sensing materials.

Research on the spatial allocation of national fitness resources at the street scale-taking Fuzhou city as an example.

To explore the spatial allocation of national fitness resources at different spatial scales in Fuzhou city to provide useful references for optimizing and enhancing the spatial allocation of national fitness resources and urban planning. The equity, spatial distribution characteristics, accessibility and supply-demand balance of national fitness resources in Fuzhou city are analysed in depth by using the two-step mobile search method of multiple travel modes, the Gini coefficient, and exploratory spatial data analysis methods. The results show that the overall spatial allocation of national fitness resources is in a balanced state, but there are serious inequities and spatial mismatches in each district (county); the spatial distribution of national fitness resources is characterized by centralized agglomeration and surface dispersion, being dense in the south and sparse in the north.

Fermenting and Lignin Degradability of a White-Rot Fungus Coriolopsis trogii Using Industrial Lignin as Substrate.

Bio-depolymerized the lignin macromolecules into low molecular lignin-derived aromatic compounds satisfies the requirement for carbon dioxide peaking and is also one of the important ways to realize lignin valorization. Coriolopsis trogii is a kind of less reported lignin-degrading white-rot fungus. The degradability of a self-isolated C.

An Ultralight Self-Powered Fire Alarm e-Textile Based on Conductive Aerogel Fiber with Repeatable Temperature Monitoring Performance Used in Firefighting Clothing.

Firefighting protective clothing is an essential equipment that can protect firefighters from burn injuries during the firefighting process. However, it is still a challenge to detect the damage of firefighting protective clothing at an early stage when firefighters are exposed to excessively high temperature in fire cases. Herein, an ultralight self-powered fire alarm electronic textile (SFA e-textile) based on conductive aerogel fiber that comprises calcium alginate (CA), FeO nanoparticles (FeO NPs), and silver nanowires (Ag NWs) was developed, which achieved ultrasensitive temperature monitoring and energy harvesting in firefighting clothing.

Ecofriendly flame-retardant composite aerogel derived from polysaccharide: Preparation, flammability, thermal kinetics, and mechanism.

Bio-based aerogel (polysaccharide cryogel) have led to a growing interest because of eco-friendliness, sustainability and excellent thermal insulation properties. Herein, we report an eco-friendly strategy to construct lightweight and porous sodium alginate/carboxymethyl cellulose/chitosan polysaccharide-based composite aerogels (SCC-B) by freeze-drying and post-cross-linking technology. The ester cross-linking of polysaccharide component achieved strong web-like entangled structure when using 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid and sodium hypophosphite as eco-friendly co-additives, meanwhile significantly improved flame retardancy of SCC-B due to phosphorylation.

Evidence for similar structural brain anomalies in youth and adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: a machine learning analysis.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects 5% of children world-wide. Of these, two-thirds continue to have impairing symptoms of ADHD into adulthood. Although a large literature implicates structural brain differences of the disorder, it is not clear if adults with ADHD have similar neuroanatomical differences as those seen in children with recent reports from the large ENIGMA-ADHD consortium finding structural differences for children but not for adults.

Flame-retardant PNIPAAm/sodium alginate/polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels used for fire-fighting application: Preparation and characteristic evaluations.

A novel fire-preventing triple-network (TN) hydrogel was prepared and laminated on cotton fabric to improve fire-resistant performance of cellulose fabric. The TN hydrogel composed of Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm)/sodium alginate (SA)/ Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) exhibited excellent swelling ratio, swelling-deswelling behavior and antibacterial property. Results indicated that introduction of SA could improve water retention capabilities of TN hydrogels.

Sleep Quality and Self-Control: The Mediating Roles of Positive and Negative Affects.

This study examined the mediating roles of both positive and negative affects in the relationship between sleep quality and self-control. A sample of 1,507 Chinese adults (37% men; mean age = 32.5 years) completed self-report questionnaires measuring sleep quality, positive and negative emotions, and self-control.

Comparison on the effect of high-methoxyl pectin or soybean-soluble polysaccharide on the stability of sodium caseinate-stabilized oil/water emulsions.

The interactions of high-methoxyl pectin (HMP) and soybean-soluble polysaccharide (SSPS) with sodium caseinate-stabilized emulsions were investigated using a multitechnique approach, including dynamic light scattering (DLS), electrophoretic mobility measurements, transmission diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS), and ultrasonic spectroscopy (US). At pH 6.8, both polysaccharides are negatively charged and did not adsorb onto caseinate-coated droplets due to electrostatic repulsion; however, SSPS showed a different behavior compared to HMP in the turbidity parameter 1/l* and sound attenuation parameters measured by DWS and US, respectively.

A diffusing wave spectroscopy study of the dynamics of interactions between high methoxyl pectin and sodium caseinate emulsions during acidification.

A non-invasive technique, diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS), and traditional dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used to study the interactions of high methoxyl pectin (HMP) with sodium caseinate-stabilized emulsion droplets.

Addition of pectin and soy soluble polysaccharide affects the particle size distribution of casein suspensions prepared from acidified skim milk.

Pectins are negatively charged polysaccharides employed as stabilizers in acidified milk dispersions, where caseins aggregate because of the low pH and serum separation needs to be prevented. The objective of this research was to study the effect of charge on the stabilizing functionality of the polysaccharide in acid milk drinks. Unstandardized pectins with various charges (as degree of esterification, DE) as well as soybean soluble polysaccharide (SSPS) were tested for their stabilizing behavior as a function of pH and concentration.
