Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) serves as a valuable proxy for photosynthesis. The TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) aboard the Copernicus Sentinel-5P mission offers nearly global coverage with a fine spectral resolution for reliable SIF retrieval. However, the present satellite-derived SIF datasets are accessible only at coarse spatial resolutions, constraining its applications at fine scales.

However, LNPs exhibit suboptimal lysosomal escape capabilities and biodegradability. To address these limitations, we have designed triglyceride-mimetic ionizable lipids by conjugating ,-dimethyl tertiary amine head groups to the sn-2 position of triglyceride (TG) through ester bonds.

Previous studies indicated that α-position disulfide bond bridged RHPNs exhibited rapid drug release rates but unsatisfactory assembly stability. In contrast, γ-disulfide bond bridged RHPNs showed better assembly stability but low drug release rates.

The designed absorber achieves broadband absorption when the surface resistivity of graphene R = 450 / and narrowband absorption when R = 1300 / and 2000 /. The physical mechanism behind the graphene absorber is explored by analyzing the distributions of power loss, electric field, and surface current densities.

The tuning characteristic of the designed GLPC is analyzed using full-wave simulations and the equivalent circuit model method (ECM), which is based on multi-section transmission lines. There is a good agreement between ECM and simulation results.

Dityrosine is a marker of tyrosine oxidation. To study effecting factors of hydroxyl radical on tyrosine oxidation, synchronous fluorescence spectra with two dimensional correlation was used. The results showed that the peak position and intensity of dityrosine changed while pH value varied.
