Autonomous vehicles operating in public transportation spaces must rapidly and accurately detect all potential hazards in their surroundings to execute appropriate actions such as yielding, lane changing, and overtaking. This capability is a prerequisite for achieving advanced autonomous driving. In autonomous driving scenarios, distant objects are often small, which increases the risk of detection failures.

Article Synopsis
  • Flos Trollii (FT) is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine known for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and antioxidative properties, used by various ethnic groups like Mongolian and Tibetan.
  • The study aimed to identify quality markers (Q-markers) for FT through a combination of pharmacological evaluation, flavor analysis, and advanced analytical techniques like near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy.
  • Five key compounds were identified as Q-markers which influence the efficacy and flavor of FT, with a predictive model developed to quickly assess their content using NIR technology.

Although near-infrared responsive photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensors have less damage to biological components compared to UV-visible light, they still reveal an inferior response due to the rapid recombination of photogenerated electron-hole. In this study, a near-infrared-driven PEC biosensor is fabricated for microRNA (miRNA) detection via integrating photoelectricity and pyroelectricity. Upon the introduction of target miRNA-21, the exponential DNA amplifier is triggered based on enzyme-assisted strand displacement amplification (SDA), releasing multiple AgS reporter probes to hybridize with capture probes immobilized on a CdS-2-mercaptobenzimidazole (2MBI)-modified photoelectrode.

For centuries, Flos Trollii has been consumed as functional tea and a folk medicine in China's north and northwest zones. The quality of Flos Trollii highly depends on the producing zones. Unfortunately, few studies have been reported on the geographical discrimination of Flos Trollii.
