YOLOC-tiny: a generalized lightweight real-time detection model for multiripeness fruits of large non-green-ripe citrus in unstructured environments.

This study addresses the challenges of low detection precision and limited generalization across various ripeness levels and varieties for large non-green-ripe citrus fruits in complex scenarios. We present a high-precision and lightweight model, YOLOC-tiny, built upon YOLOv7, which utilizes EfficientNet-B0 as the feature extraction backbone network. To augment sensing capabilities and improve detection accuracy, we embed a spatial and channel composite attention mechanism, the convolutional block attention module (CBAM), into the head's efficient aggregation network.

Plasma osteoprotegerin predicts adverse cardiovascular events in stable coronary artery disease: the PEACE trial.

Background: Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a secretory glycoprotein and participates in the progression of atherosclerotic lesions. We aim to explore the relationship between OPG and the prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD).

Methods: Plasma OPG concentrations were measured in 3,766 patients with stable CAD enrolled in the PEACE trial.

A handheld multifunctional smartphone platform integrated with 3D printing portable device: On-site evaluation for glutathione and azodicarbonamide with machine learning.

Azodicarbonamide (ADA) in flour can be easily decomposed to semi-carbazide and biuret, exhibiting strong genotoxicity in vitro and carcinogenicity. Glutathione (GSH) can be conjugated with some ketone-containing compounds and unsaturated aldehydes to form toxic metabolites. Here, a novel ratio fluorescence probe based on blue emitting biomass-derived carbon dots (BCDs) and yellow emitting 2,3-diaminophenazine (OxOPD) was prepared for the bifunctional determination of glutathione (GSH) and ADA.

Histone H4 acetylation required for chromatin decompaction during DNA replication.

Faithful DNA replication is a prerequisite for cell proliferation. Several cytological studies have shown that chromosome structures alter in the S-phase of the cell cycle. However, the molecular mechanisms behind the alteration of chromosome structures associated with DNA replication have not been elucidated.

Meiotic nuclear movements in fission yeast are regulated by the transcription factor Mei4 downstream of a Cds1-dependent replication checkpoint pathway.

In meiosis, the fission yeast nucleus displays an elongated morphology, moving back and forth within the cell; these nuclear movements continue for approximately 2 h before meiotic nuclear divisions. Meiotic DNA replication occurs in an early phase of the nuclear movements and is followed by meiotic prophase. Here we report that in mutants deficient in meiotic DNA replication, the duration of nuclear movements is strikingly prolonged to four to 5 h.

Halomonas socia sp. nov., isolated from high salt culture of Dunaliella salina.

A moderately halophilic bacteria designed strain NY-011(T) was isolated from the high salt culture of Dunaliella salina in Chengdu of Sichuan Province, China. The isolate was Gram-negative, nonmotile, rod-shaped and 12.5-21.

Cloning and expression study of a putative carotene biosynthesis related (cbr) gene from the halotolerant green alga Dunaliella salina.

Dunaliella salina, a unicelluar green alga that can tolerate an extreme variation of salt concentration is being studied as a model system to analyze the tolerance of abiotic stresses at the molecular level. Upon abnormal NaCl levels, new transcripts were abundantly expressed in cells of the alga. EST gene discovery efforts utilizing salt-shock cells had identified one cDNA designated Dscbr (GenBank accession no.
