In the backdrop of China's 'Carbon peak, Carbon neutrality' goal, to reduce the pollution caused by carbon emissions to the atmosphere, this study investigates the supply of biomass briquette fuel. The supply of biomass briquette fuel is generally divided into two stages: the first stage involves the collection, storage, and transportation of biomass straw to the biomass briquette production base; the second encompasses the processing of the biomass straw into briquette fuel at the production base, followed by its transportation to the biomass boiler heating center for utilization. In this paper, a mathematical model is developed based on carbon emission and economic cost.

Monotherapy with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) is the preferred strategy for the initial treatment of epilepsy. However, an inadequate response to the initially prescribed AED is a significant indicator of a poor long-term prognosis, emphasizing the importance of precise prediction of treatment outcomes with the initial AED regimen in patients with epilepsy..

Antigen presentation by major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) is crucial for T cell-mediated killing, and aberrant surface MHC-I expression is tightly associated with immune evasion. To address MHC-I downregulation, we conducted a high-throughput flow cytometry screen, identifying bleomycin (BLM) as a potent inducer of cell surface MHC-I expression. BLM-induced MHC-I augmentation rendered tumor cells more susceptible to T cells in coculture assays and enhanced antitumor responses in an adoptive cellular transfer mouse model.

Purpose: Microstates represent the global and topographical distribution of electrical brain activity from scalp-recorded EEG. This study aims to explore EEG microstates of patients with focal epilepsy prior to medication, and employ extracted microstate metrics for predicting treatment outcomes with Oxcarbazepine monotherapy.

Methods: This study involved 25 newly-diagnosed focal epilepsy patients (13 females), aged 12 to 68, with various etiologies.

Long-term electroencephalogram (Long-Term EEG) has the capacity to monitor over a long period, making it a valuable tool in medical institutions. However, due to the large volume of patient data, selecting clean data segments from raw Long-Term EEG for further analysis is an extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Furthermore, the various actions of patients during recording make it difficult to use algorithms to denoise part of the EEG data, and thus lead to the rejection of these data.
