The meniscus-confined electrodeposition (MCED) technique offers advantages such as low cost and wide applicability, making it a promising method in the field of micro/nanofabrication. However, unstable meniscal morphology and poor deposition quality during planar deposition in MCED necessitate the development of improved methods. Therefore, a planar adaptive micro-tuning deposition method (PAMTDM), which utilizes the positioning technology of scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) and employs a singular value decomposition (SVD) planar fitting method to determine the flatness of the deposition plane, is proposed.

The "hologenome" concept is an increasingly popular way of thinking about microbiome-host for marine organisms. However, it is challenging to track hologenome dynamics because of the large amount of material, with tracking itself usually resulting in damage or death of the research object. Here we show the simple and efficient holo-2bRAD approach for the tracking of hologenome dynamics in marine invertebrates (i.

Microbial lysis of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is a key step in marine organic sulfur cycling and has been recently demonstrated to play an important role in mediating interactions between bacteria, algae, and zooplankton. To date, microbes that have been found to lyse DMSP are largely confined to free-living and surface-attached bacteria. In this study, we report for the first time that a symbiont (termed " bacterium HWgs001") in the gill of the marine scallop can lyse and metabolize DMSP.

Vision plays a crucial role in the ability of compound-eyed insects to perceive the characteristics of their surroundings. Compound-eyed insects (such as the honeybee) can change the optical flow input of the visual system by autonomously controlling their behavior, and this is referred to as visual-motor coordination (VMC). To analyze an insect's VMC mechanism in dynamic scenes, we developed a platform for studying insects that actively shape the optic flow of visual stimuli by adapting their flight behavior.

Studies have demonstrated that learning adaptability has emerged as an important factor for students' utilization of self-regulated learning for successful learning, but how this association occurred is not clear yet. This study aimed to clarify the mechanism of the relationship between learning adaptability and self-regulated learning by investigating the chain mediating roles of academic motivation and self-management of 787 junior high school students under the "double reduction" background. The results showed that (1) learning adaptability had significant positive effects on junior high school students' self-regulated learning and (2) academic motivation and self-management played independent and accumulative mediating roles in the relationship between learning adaptability and self-regulated learning.

The increased frequency of marine heat waves (MHWs) caused by global climate change is predicted to threaten the survival of economic bivalves, therefore having severely adverse effects on local ecological communities and aquaculture production. However, the study of scallops facing MHWs is still scarce, particularly in the scallop Argopecten irradians irradians, which has a significant share of "blue foods" in northern China. In the present study, bay scallop heart was selected to detect its cardiac performance, oxidative impairment and dynamic molecular responses, accompanied by assessing survival variations of individuals in the simulated scenario of MWHs (32 °C) with different time points (0 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 3 d, 6 d and 10 d).
