Lithium-ion batteries represent a significant component of the field of energy storage, with a diverse range of applications in consumer electronics, portable devices, and numerous other fields. In view of the growing concerns about the safety of batteries, it is of the utmost importance to develop a sensor that is capable of accurately monitoring the internal temperature of lithium-ion batteries. External sensors are subject to the necessity for additional space and ancillary equipment.

Multiprotein bridging factor 1 (MBF1) is a transcription factor family playing crucial roles in plant development and stress responses. In this study, we analyzed MBF1 genes in and under abiotic stresses, revealing evolutionary patterns and functional differences. Four genes were identified in and two in , with conserved MBF1 and HTH domains, similar exon/intron structures, and stress-related -elements in their promoters.

Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1) is a major transcriptional factor regulating the heat shock response and has become a potential target for overcoming cancer chemoresistance. This review comprehensively examines HSF1's role in chemoresistance and its potential as a therapeutic target in cancer. We explore the complex, intricate mechanism that regulates the activation of HSF1, HSF1's function in promoting resistance to chemotherapy, and the strategies used to manipulate HSF1 for therapeutic benefit.

Objectives: The incidence of febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions (FNHTRs) is correlated with the level of cytokines released by donor leukocytes in blood bags during storage, which is the most common transfusion reaction. The study aimed to reveal whether the use of leukocyte-poor red blood cells (LPRBCs) can reduce the incidence of transfusion reactions to promote patient safety.

Materials And Methods: From January 2014 to June 2022, 158,122 blood transfusion reports were collected from a medical center in Eastern Taiwan.

Conversion of solar energy into value-added chemicals through photoelectrochemistry (PEC) holds great potential for advancing sustainable development but limits by high onset potential which affects energy conversion efficiencies. Herein, we utilized a CuPd cocatalyst-modified Sb2(S,Se)3 photocathode (CuPd/TSSS) to achieve an ultra-low onset potential of 0.83 VRHE for photoelectrochemical ammonia synthesis.
