Study on landslide hazard risk in Wenzhou based on slope units and machine learning approaches.

Landslides are a prevalent and devastating form of geological disaster. These events occur when gravity causes rock and soil masses to slide along specific surfaces or zones, often triggered by intense rainfall, seismic activity, or human engineering activities. Assessing landslide hazard risk is crucial for effective disaster management, yet traditional approaches often rely on administrative or grid units, which lack the granularity needed for site-specific hazard management.

Spatiotemporal evolution of PM and its components and drivers in China, 2000-2023: effects of air pollution prevention and control actions in China.

This study evaluated the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan (APPCAP) in China using 2000-2023 data. The average annual PM concentration dropped from 46.11 ± 16.

Regulatory mechanism of miR-20a-5p in neuronal damage and inflammation in lipopolysaccharide-induced BV2 cells and MPTP-HCl-induced Parkinson's disease mice.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevailing neurodegenerative disorder increasingly affecting the elderly population. The involvement of microRNAs (miRNAs) in PD has been confirmed. We sought to explore the molecular mechanism of miR-20a-5p in PD.

Cascading Robustness Analysis of Wireless Sensor Networks with Varying Multisink Placement.

In practical wireless sensor networks (WSNs), cascading failures are closely related to network load distribution, which in turn strongly relies on the locations of multiple sink nodes. For such a network, understanding how the multisink placement affects its cascading robustness is essential but still largely missing in the field of complex networks. To this end, this paper puts forward an actual cascading model for WSNs based on the multisink-oriented load distribution characteristics, in which two load redistribution mechanisms (i.

Novel Mutations of PAX6 and WFS1 Associated With Congenital Cataract in a Chinese Family.

Background: Congenital cataract is a common cause of blindness in childhood. About half of the cases have a genetic etiology, and more than 100 genes have been associated with congenital cataracts. This study reports the clinical and genetic findings of a two-generation Chinese family affected by congenital cataract.

Towards Cleaner Production Ecosystem: An Analysis of Embodied Industrial Pollution in International Trade of China's Processing versus Normal Exports.

While promoting economic growth, industrial development is causing serious environmental problems and threatening human health. Studies on pollution transfer through international trade often over-estimate the actual embodied emissions in exports and ignore the industrial pollutants. By designing a non-competitive input-output model which differentiates between processing exports and normal exports, we calculate the embodied domestic and imported industrial emissions in China's processing and normal exports and imports.

Aberrant global and local dynamic properties in schizophrenia with instantaneous phase method based on Hilbert transform.

Background: Emerging functional imaging studies suggest that schizophrenia is associated with aberrant spatiotemporal interaction which may result in aberrant global and local dynamic properties.

Methods: We investigated the dynamic functional connectivity (FC) by using instantaneous phase method based on Hilbert transform to detect abnormal spatiotemporal interaction in schizophrenia. Based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging, two independent datasets were included, with 114 subjects from COBRE [51 schizophrenia patients (SZ) and 63 healthy controls (HCs)] and 96 from OpenfMRI (36 SZ and 60 HCs).

Pathological personality, situations, and their joint influences on daily emotional symptoms.

Objective: The present research aims to advance current understanding on how individuals with pathological personality traits construe their day-to-day situational experiences.

Method: College students (N = 231) completed a measure of personality pathology, followed by six assessments of everyday situations and anxiety/depression symptoms over two weeks.

Results: Multilevel analyses indicated that personality pathology was meaningfully associated with situational experiences.

MicroRNA-15a-5p promotes the proliferation and invasion of T98G glioblastoma cells via targeting cell adhesion molecule 1.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a type of malignant tumor occurring in the brain that severely influences the life of affected individuals. GBM cells are highly infiltrative, which is one of the main obstacles in the treatment of the disease. Numerous microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are associated with the development of GBM.

Dyeing and Characterization of Cellulose Powder Developed from Waste Cotton.

In this study, waste cotton fibers were environmentally reused. First, they were milled into fine powders with particle sizes of around 30 µm and dyed for use as pigments. Dyeing properties of the cellulose powder were explored by determining the dye uptake, K/S value, and bath ratio.

Examination of the dyeing properties of pigment printing fabrics in a water-ethanol mixed solvent.

We examined the dyeing properties of pigment printing fabrics in a water-ethanol mixed solvent. SEM, infrared spectroscopy, XRD, and rheological studies were carried out to understand the results. The K/S values of all pigment printing fabrics initially increased prior to a subsequent decrease, as can be observed from SEM images of the fabric surfaces.

Upper facet joint en bloc resection for the treatment of thoracic myelopathy caused by ossification of the ligamentum flavum.

Object: The authors introduce a novel technique to treat thoracic myelopathy caused by ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF): upper facet joint en bloc resection. This surgical procedure avoids surgery to the most heavily compressed cord surface, contact with the cord, and cord injury. The epidural venous plexus bleeding point can be directly seen and easily controlled during the decompression.

[Surgery tactics for ossification of ligamentum flavum associated with dural ossification in the thoracic spine].

Objective: To investigate the surgery tactics for ossification of ligamentum flavum (OLF) associated with dural ossification (DO) in the thoracic spine and the clinical outcome.

Methods: Between June 2006 and December 2009, 98 patients with thoracic spinal stenosis secondary to OLF were treated, and DO was found in 18 cases during operation. There were 11 males and 7 females with a mean age of 58 years (range, 46-73 years).

Curcumin inhibits trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid-induced colitis in rats by activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma.

Curcumin is a widely used spice with anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. It has been reported that curcumin held therapeutic effects on experimental colitis by inhibition of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB). The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is a nuclear receptor with anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory effects and its activation may inhibit the nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB.

The effects of non-compliance on intent-to-treat analysis of equivalence trials.

The standard approach for analysing a randomized clinical trial is based on intent-to-treat (ITT) where subjects are analysed according to their assigned treatment group regardless of actual adherence to the treatment protocol. For therapeutic equivalence trials, it is a common concern that an ITT analysis increases the chance of erroneously concluding equivalence. In this paper, we formally investigate the impact of non-compliance on an ITT analysis of equivalence trials with a binary outcome.
