Spatiotemporal dynamics and spatial correlation patterns of urban ecological resilience across the Yellow River Basin in China.

Addressing the need to harmonize environment conservation and sustainable economic development within the Yellow River Basin (YRB) requires a profound comprehension of the spatiotemporal dynamics of urban ecosystem resilience. This study developed an index system utilizing the resistance-adaptability-recovery framework to measure these dynamics. By applying the advanced multi-attribute boundary area comparison method and a spatial autocorrelation model, we investigated the spatiotemporal variations and spatial correlation patterns of urban ecological resilience across the YRB.

P-type Polymers in Semitransparent Organic Photovoltaics.

P-type polymers are polymeric semiconducting materials that conduct holes and have extensive applications in optoelectronics such as organic photovoltaics. Taking the advantage of intrinsic discontinuous light absorption of organic semiconductors, semitransparent organic photovoltaics (STOPVs) present compelling opportunities in various potential applications such as building-integrated photovoltaics, agrivoltaics, automobiles, and wearable electronics. The characteristics of p-type polymers, including optical, electronic, and morphological properties, determine the performance of STOPVs, and the requirements for p-type polymers differ between opaque organic photovoltaics and STOPVs.

Optimizing drip fertigation at different periods to improve yield, volatile compounds and cup quality of Arabica coffee.

How to improve and regulate coffee bean yield and quality through split fertilization in the whole life cycle of coffee is still unclear and deserves further study. A field experiment of 5-year-old Arabica coffee trees was conducted for 2 consecutive years from 2020 to 2022. The fertilizer (750 kg ha year, N-PO-KO:20%-20%-20%) was split in three times at early flowering (FL), the berry expansion (BE), and the berry ripening (BR).

Uptake of glucose from the rhizosphere, mediated by apple MdHT1.2, regulates carbohydrate allocation.

Plant roots can absorb sugars from the rhizosphere, which reduces the consumption of carbon derived from photosynthesis. However, the underlying mechanisms that roots use to control sugar absorption from soil are poorly understood. Here, we identified an apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.

Evaluating how lodging affects maize yield estimation based on UAV observations.

Timely and accurate pre-harvest estimates of maize yield are vital for agricultural management. Although many remote sensing approaches have been developed to estimate maize yields, few have been tested under lodging conditions. Thus, the feasibility of existing approaches under lodging conditions and the influence of lodging on maize yield estimates both remain unclear.

Parameter regionalization based on machine learning optimizes the estimation of reference evapotranspiration in data deficient area.

Reference evapotranspiration (ET0), as one important variable in climatology, hydrology, and agricultural science, plays an important role in the terrestrial hydrological cycle and agricultural irrigation. However, the ET0 estimation process is inaccurate due to the lack of weather stations and historical data. In this study, a new method of ET0 estimation was proposed to improve the ET0 estimation performance in regions with limited data.

Effects of clouds and aerosols on ecosystem exchange, water and light use efficiency in a humid region orchard.

Investigating the patterns of water and carbon dynamics in agro-ecosystems in response to clouds and aerosols can shed new insights in understanding the biophysical impacts of climate change on crop productivity and water consumption. In this study, the effects of clouds and aerosols as well as other environmental factors on ecosystem water and carbon fluxes were examined based on three-year eddy covariance measurements under different sky conditions (quantified as the clearness index, K, i.e.

Increased Circulating CD4CXCR5 Cells and IgG4 Levels in Patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome with Autoimmune Diseases.

Objectives: Immune abnormalities play an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Some patients with MDS have autoimmune diseases (AI). Follicular helper T (Tfh) cells help B cells produce antibodies.

Excessive nitrogen application under moderate soil water deficit decreases photosynthesis, respiration, carbon gain and water use efficiency of maize.

The impact of water stress and nitrogen (N) nutrition on leaf respiration (R), carbon balance and water use efficiency (WUE) remains largely elusive. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of soil water and N stresses on growth, physiological responses, leaf structure, carbon gain and WUE of maize. The plants were subjected to different soil water and N regimes to maturity.

An investigation on possible effect of leaching fractions physiological responses of hot pepper plants to irrigation water salinity.

Background: The modification effect of leaching fraction (LF) on the physiological responses of plants to irrigation water salinity (EC) remains unknown. Here, leaf gas exchange, photosynthetic light-response and CO-response curves, and total carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) accumulation in hot pepper leaves were investigated under three EC levels (0.9, 4.

Impaired Mitophagy of Nucleated Erythroid Cells Leads to Anemia in Patients with Myelodysplastic Syndromes.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a heterogeneous group of clonal stem cell disorders characterized by cytopenia and dysplasia. Anemia is the most common symptom in patients with MDS. Mitophagy and mitochondrial dysfunction might be involved in the development of MDS.

Altered follicular helper T cell impaired antibody production in a murine model of myelodysplastic syndromes.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of clonal hematopoietic diseases which have a high risk of progressing to acute myeloid leukemia. MDS patients have immunologic deficiency, including T and B cells dysfunction. Follicular T helper cells (Tfh, CD4CXCR5) are an important subset of helper T cells which help to the formation of germinal centers and B cells differentiation.
