ESE-YOLOv8: A Novel Object Detection Algorithm for Safety Belt Detection during Working at Heights.

To address the challenges associated with supervising workers who wear safety belts while working at heights, this study proposes a solution involving the utilization of an object detection model to replace manual supervision. A novel object detection model, named ESE-YOLOv8, is introduced. The integration of the Efficient Multi-Scale Attention (EMA) mechanism within this model enhances information entropy through cross-channel interaction and encodes spatial information into the channels, thereby enabling the model to obtain rich and significant information during feature extraction.

Low-temperature at booting reduces starch content and yield of wheat by affecting dry matter transportation and starch synthesis.

With the continuous change of global climate, the frequency of low-temperature stress (LTS) in spring increased greatly, which led to the increase of wheat yield decline. The effects of LTS at booting on grain starch synthesis and yield were examined in two wheat varieties with differing low-temperature sensitivities (insensitive variety Yannong 19 and sensitive variety Wanmai 52). A combination of potted and field planting was employed.

Exogenous 6-benzylaminopurine enhances waterlogging and shading tolerance after anthesis by improving grain starch accumulation and grain filling.

Due to the frequent occurrence of extreme weather events, the area of wheat affected by continuous cloudy rainfall is increasing, with waterlogging becoming a major limiting factor of wheat yield. To alleviate the effect, spraying exogenous plant growth regulators is often used. In this study, two wheat cultivars, waterlogging-tolerant Yangmai 18 and waterlogging-sensitive Sumai 188, were selected for waterlogging and shading (WS) after anthesis for 7, 11, and 15 days respectively.

Benzidine Induces Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition of Human Bladder Cancer Cells through Activation of ERK5 Pathway.

Benzidine, a known carcinogen, is closely associated with the development of bladder cancer (BC). Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a critical pathophysiological process in BC progression. The underlying molecular mechanisms of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, especially extracellular regulated protein kinases 5 (ERK5), in regulating benzidine-induced EMT remains unclarified.

Cigarette smoke extract induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition of human bladder cancer T24 cells through activation of ERK1/2 pathway.

Bladder cancer is a common genitourinary malignant disease worldwide. Abundant evidence has shown that cigarette smoke (CS) is a crucial risk factor for bladder cancer. Nevertheless, the mechanism underlying the relationship between cigarette smoking and bladder cancer remains unclear.
