Z boson events at the Large Hadron Collider can be selected with high purity and are sensitive to a diverse range of QCD phenomena. As a result, these events are often used to probe the nature of the strong force, improve Monte Carlo event generators, and search for deviations from standard model predictions. All previous measurements of Z boson production characterize the event properties using a small number of observables and present the results as differential cross sections in predetermined bins.

Unlabelled: High temperature is an unavoidable environmental stress that generally exerts detrimental effects on organisms and has widespread effects on metabolism. Spermidine is an important member of the polyamines family and is involved in a range of abiotic stress responses in plants. Mitochondria play an essential role in cellular homeostasis and are key components of the stress response.

Background: The present study aims to (1) evaluate the autoanalyser quality control (QC) module of the Kehua Polaris c2000 automatic modularised biochemical analyser and (2) verify the impact of the analyser's automatic implementation of internal QC (IQC) testing at a set time point on the results of IQC and turnaround time (TAT).

Methods: For 5 consecutive days, three different methods were used to conduct IQC. Method 1: Internal QC was carried out at 8:00 every day.

The mid-wave multispectral detector combines the traditional spectrometer and infrared detector technologies to provide image information and spectral information at the same time, which has an important role in both civil and military fields. To solve the working band limitation and low energy utilization, this paper presents an integrated superlattice mid-wave multispectral hypersurface detector that can be used for computational multispectroscopy for the first time, which consists of photonic crystal (PC) plates of GaSb material, and uses PC microstructures to modulate the incident spectra, which can be used to reconstruct incident signals with computational multispectroscopy methods. In this paper, the finite difference time domain method (FDTD) is used to simulate the structural parameters of different PCs, and finally calculate the correlation coefficients of the transmission spectra of the different structures as well as the energy utilization rate.

Laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy was used to detect mercury ions in aqueous solutions, in which CH-95 resin was used to chelate the ions to transform the liquid samples into solid ones. The experimental results showed that the fluorescence emission of the chelated solid-state samples excited by a low-power semiconductor laser at the wavelength of 447 nm was significantly enhanced due to the chelating reaction. The fluorescence intensity was proportional to the concentration of mercury ions with a linear correlation coefficient of = 0.
