Comprehensive analysis of the effects on photosynthesis and energy balance in tomato leaves under magnesium deficiency.

Magnesium (Mg), as an essential and central mineral element for chlorophyll biosynthesis, plays a crucial role in plant photosynthesis. Magnesium deficiency inevitably affects the photosynthetic ability of leaves, thereby impairing the yield and quality of crops. However, few studies have revealed the intrinsic mechanisms by which Mg deficiency hinders growth and photosynthesis, particularly by analyzing the processes of light capture, dissipation, absorption, and utilization in tomato.

Robust Multimodal Cough and Speech Detection using Wearables: A Preliminary Analysis.

Cough detection is a crucial tool for long-term monitoring of respiratory illnesses. While clinical methods are accurate, they are not available in a home-based setting. In contrast, wearable devices offer a more accessible alternative, but face challenges in ensuring user speech privacy and detecting coughs accurately in real-world settings due to potential poor audio quality and background noise.

Lattice-driven gating in a Cu-based zeolitic imidazolate framework for efficient high-temperature hydrogen isotope separation.

For the separation of hydrogen isotopes (H/D), traditional kinetic quantum sieving (KQS) takes advantage of the diffusion barriers created by the flexibility of organic linkers and the breathing frameworks in porous solids. While the phenomena have been observed typically below 77 K, in this study, we present that a copper-based zeolite imidazolate framework (Cu-ZIF-gis) can show KQS above 120 K. Since Cu-ZIF-gis has narrow channels with ca.

From traditional LAT to stereotactic radiotherapy: Evolving options for metastatic soft tissue sarcoma.

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare and aggressive tumors with limited treatment options. A recent study by Burkhard-Meier et al. highlights Local Ablative Therapy (LAT) as a promising approach for metastatic STS, particularly pulmonary metastasectomy, which showed the best survival outcomes.

Proposal of integrated clinical pathway in the management of perioperative recurrent laryngeal nerve injury post thyroid and parathyroid surgery.

Early intervention is the current paradigm shift in the management of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury post thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy. Thus, an integrated clinical pathway is needed to enable early detection of RLN injury. A prospective longitudinal study was conducted from 2015 until 2021 in a single tertiary centre.
