Linear Interplay Between Raman Shift and Laser Irradiation in Photothermal-Strained Monoclinic Vanadium Dioxide.

Vanadium dioxide as a strongly correlated electron material undergoes metal-insulator phase transitions and ferroelastic domain switching which highly couple to local strain distribution. Understanding the mechanisms and achieving the modulations require precise and high-resolution characterization of strain in vanadium dioxide. Micro-Raman spectroscopy is widely used to nondestructively characterize the strain on the surface of materials.

Threshold incentive mechanisms for the sustainable management of public resources.

Maintaining global ecological balance is inextricably linked to the effective governance of public resources. Previous studies have proposed the introduction of incentive mechanisms to mitigate the defection behavior within the scope of public resource management to facilitate sustainable utilization. However, these incentive strategies often present a considerable financial burden.

Hybrid reward-punishment in feedback-evolving game for common resource governance.

How to maintain the sustainability of common resources is a persistent challenge, as overexploiters often undermine collective efforts by prioritizing personal gain. To mitigate the overexploitation of resources by violators, previous theoretical studies have revealed that the introduction of additional incentives, whether to reward rule-abiding cooperators or to punish those who overexploit, can be beneficial for the sustainability of common resources when the resource growth rate is not particularly low. However, these studies have typically considered rewarding and punishing in isolation, thus overlooking the role of their combination in common resource governance.

Evolution of trust in N-player trust games with loss assessment.

Trust plays a crucial role in social and economic interactions, serving as the foundation for social stability and human cooperation. Previous studies have explored the evolution of trust between investors and trustees by constructing trust game models, incorporating factors such as network structure, reputation, and incentives. However, these studies often assume that investors consistently maintain their investment behavior, neglecting the potential influence of the investment environment on investment behavior.

The paradigm of tax-reward and tax-punishment strategies in the advancement of public resource management dynamics.

In contemporary society, the effective utilization of public resources remains a subject of significant concern. A common issue arises from defectors seeking to obtain an excessive share of these resources for personal gain, potentially leading to resource depletion. To mitigate this tragedy and ensure sustainable development of resources, implementing mechanisms to either reward those who adhere to distribution rules or penalize those who do not, appears advantageous.

Two different autorefractors for vision screening in children and adolescents.

Aim: To compare the consistency of two autorefractors (Tianle RM-9000 and Topcon KR-800) for school-age myopia children, and to provide a basis for largescale data analysis and comparison.

Methods: The refractive error in 909 subjects (age 4-18y) were measured using both autorefractors without cycloplegia. The data were analyzed using Fourier decomposition and the correlation coefficients, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), and Bland-Altman limits of agreement (LoA) for each parameter were calculated.

Emergent Mechanics of Magnetic Skyrmions Deformed by Defects.

While magnetic skyrmions are often modeled as rigid particles, both experiments and micromagnetic simulations indicate their easy-to-deform characteristic, especially when their motion is restricted by defects. Here we establish a theoretical framework for the dynamics of magnetic skyrmions by incorporating the degrees of freedom related to deformation and predict well the current-driven dynamics of deformable skyrmions in the presence of line defects without any parameter fitting, where classical theories based on rigid-particle assumption deviate significantly. Further, we define an emergent property of magnetic skyrmions-flexibility and show that this property strongly modulates the depinning dynamics of skyrmions along a line defect with breaches.

Evolution of conditional cooperation in collective-risk social dilemma with repeated group interactions.

The evolution and long-term sustenance of cooperation has consistently piqued scholarly interest across the disciplines of evolutionary biology and social sciences. Previous theoretical and experimental studies on collective risk social dilemma games have revealed that the risk of collective failure will affect the evolution of cooperation. In the real world, individuals usually adjust their decisions based on environmental factors such as risk intensity and cooperation level.

CircABPD1 alleviates oxidative lung injury of bronchopulmonary dysplasia through regulating miR-330-3p/HIF1α axis.

In the NICU, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a concerning common respiratory complication in preterm and low birth-weight infants. Clinical studies have confirmed that human milk has an important nutritional role for children with BPD, therefore, dentification of beneficial components in human milk that prevent BPD is urgently needed. Our previous work showed that human milk exosomes (HM-Exos) could inhibit apoptosis of alveolar type II epithelial cells (AT II), and the circular RNA (circRNA)-circABPD1 were highly expressed in preterm colostrum milk exosomes.

Chlorinated paraffins in multimedia during residential interior finishing: Occurrences, behavior, and health risk.

Though with bioaccumulation and toxicity, chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are still high produced and widely utilized in various daily necessities for extender plasticization and flame retardation. CPs can be released during the reprocessing processes of finishing materials and distributed in multi-environmental media. Herein, concentrations and compositions of CPs in four representative media including interior finishing materials, PM, total suspended particulate (TSP), and dust samples collected from eight interior finishing stages were studied.

Coevolutionary dynamics via adaptive feedback in collective-risk social dilemma game.

Human society and natural environment form a complex giant ecosystem, where human activities not only lead to the change in environmental states, but also react to them. By using collective-risk social dilemma game, some studies have already revealed that individual contributions and the risk of future losses are inextricably linked. These works, however, often use an idealistic assumption that the risk is constant and not affected by individual behaviors.

PCCA-Model: an attention module for medical image segmentation.

Convolutional neural networks have been increasingly employed in the field of medical image segmentation. Based on the idea that the human visual cortex differs in terms of the size of the receptive field and can sense the stimulus location, we propose the pyramid channel coordinate attention (PCCA) module to fuse multiscale features in the channel direction, aggregate local and global channel information, combine them with the location information in the spatial direction, and then integrate them into the existing semantic segmentation network. We conducted numerous experiments on the datasets, namely LiTS, ISIC-2018, and CX, and obtained state-of-the-art results.

Flexoresponses of Synthetic Antiferromagnetic Systems Hosting Skyrmions.

While strain gradients break lattice centrosymmetry, ferromagnetism is a time-reversal symmetry breaking product. Flexomagnetic effect in ferromagnets is usually indirect and weak. In this Letter, we reveal a topologically enhanced flexomagnetic effect in synthetic antiferromagnetic systems based on Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and the large deformability of skyrmion.

Linkage and association analyses reveal that hub genes in energy-flow and lipid biosynthesis pathways form a cluster in upland cotton.

Upland cotton is an important allotetraploid crop that provides both natural fiber for the textile industry and edible vegetable oil for the food or feed industry. To better understand the genetic mechanism that regulates the biosynthesis of storage oil in cottonseed, we identified the genes harbored in the major quantitative trait loci/nucleotides (QTLs/QTNs) of kernel oil content (KOC) in cottonseed via both multiple linkage analyses and genome-wide association studies (GWAS). In 'CCRI70' RILs, six stable QTLs were simultaneously identified by linkage analysis of CHIP and SLAF-seq strategies.

Study on Spontaneous Combustion "Three Zones" of the Distribution Law and Integrated Fire Prevention Technology in Mined-Out Area of Lingquan Mine.

To determine the risk range of remaining coal in the goaf of the higher slice on the seventh mining and fifth face of Lingquan Mine, the beam tube monitoring system was adopted to supervise the temperature and gas content changes in the goaf during the normal mining period of the working face. As per the principle of dividing spontaneous combustion "three zones" (SCTZ), numerical simulation of the distribution of SCTZ in the goaf of the work face was performed. The O content and index gas in the goaf were measured and analyzed, and combined with the in-situ measurement outcomes, the distribution of SCTZ in the goaf was determined through the FLUENT numerical modeling program.
