The development of neuromorphic color vision has significant research implications in the fields of machine vision and artificial intelligence. By mimicking the processing mechanisms of energy-efficient biological visual systems, it offers a unique potential for real-time color environment perception and dynamic adaptability. This paper reports on a multispectral color sensing synaptic device based on a novel p-type TeSeO transistor, applied to a neuromorphic visual multilevel nociceptor.

Co-culture of rice (Oryza sativa) and aquatic animals (CRAAs) is an efficient eco-agricultural model and has been widely implemented in many Asia countries. However, its impact on soil organic carbon (SOC) content has not been synthesized and the relative effects of different CRAAs practices on SOC have not been assessed. Our meta-analysis aims to synthesize the effect of diverse CRAAs regimes on SOC content based on results from 200 field experiments.

Background: Although the talar morphology has been well understood, studies on the corresponding tibial plafond are still lacking. Based on computed tomography (CT) data, this quantitative study divided the tibial plafond into anterior and posterior regions on five sagittal sections. The objectives of this study were (I) to determine whether the sagittal curvatures of the tibial plafond can be quantitatively and accurately described using the double-diameter method; (II) to compare the difference between the anterior and posterior diameters on five sagittal sections.

Traffic state classification and relevance calculation at intersections are both difficult problems in traffic control. In this paper, we propose an intersection relevance model based on a temporal graph attention network, which can solve the above two problems at the same time. First, the intersection features and interaction time of the intersections are regarded as input quantities together with the initial labels of the traffic data.

Previous studies show that adults and children evaluate the act of leaving a choice for others as prosocial, and have termed such actions as socially mindful actions. The current study investigates how the desirability of the available options (i.e.

Despite the well-documented role of biochar in promoting soil quality and crop productivity, the underlying biological mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we explored the effects of straw biochar on soil microbiome in the rhizosphere from wheat using metagenomic sequencing. Our results showed that straw return decreased the yields of wheat, while the straw biochar return increased the wheat yields.

Lignin is the most abundant aromatic biomass resource in nature and is the main by-product of paper industry and biorefinery industry, which has the characteristics of abundant source, renewable and low cost. Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are a nascent environmentally friendly solvent option that is gaining traction. DES composed of p-toluenesulfonic acid and choline chloride is used for batch treatment of alkaline lignin, and the bio-oil obtained is ternary polymerized with formaldehyde and phenol to obtain lignin phenolic resin.

Previous research has well documented the negative sides of secrecy, ignoring its potential constructive aspects. Based on the concept of compensatory behavior, this study conducted two experiments with 532 adults to explore the mediating role of felt guilt between secrecy and donation, and the moderating role of moral identity. Study 1 ( = 272) showed that felt guilt mediated the relationship between secrecy and donation behaviors.

Children's outdoor free play, which is characterized by intensive physical engagement and diverse social interactions, plays a unique role in early childhood development and education. However, existing scales cannot comprehensively measure children's performance in outdoor free play. The research purpose of this study was to develop and validate an Outdoor Free Play Scale for Children-Preschool Version (OFPS-P) with good reliability and validity, in order to provide a practical tool for teachers to understand the level of children's outdoor free play.

Family socio-economic status (SES) is a significant predictor of children's early learning performance, while little is known about the relationship between family SES and children's play. This study aimed to examine how family SES was related to different aspects of children's play behaviors and whether the home environment served as a mediator in this relationship. A total of 844 mothers of children aged three to six ( = 431) from different SES backgrounds ( = 123, = 322, = 399) reported the situation of the home environment and their children's play behaviors with self-developed questionnaires.

Article Synopsis
  • * Despite ineffective drug treatments and inconclusive imaging, a suspicious focus was identified using high-resolution MRI, leading to successful seizure control after SEEG-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFTC) and later, left occipital resection.
  • * The findings suggest that late-onset LGS may stem from focal lesions, emphasizing the necessity of individualized monitoring and treatment strategies, while also noting the limitations of RFTC and differences in clinical outcomes compared to classical LGS. *

In this paper, an SEWIR epidemic model with the government control rate and infectious force in latent period is proposed. The conditions to the existence and uniqueness of disease-free and endemic equilibrium points in the SEWIR model are obtained. By using the Hurwitz criterion, the locally asymptotic stability of disease-free and endemic equilibrium points is proved.

Complete traffic sensor data is a significant prerequisite for analyzing the changing rules of traffic flow and formulating traffic control strategies. Nevertheless, the missing traffic data are common in practice. In this study, an improved Fuzzy C-Means algorithm is proposed to repair missing traffic data, and three different repair modes are established according to the correlation of time, space, and attribute value of traffic flow.

As an important parameter to determine the transmission characteristics of a Gaussian beam, the beam waist holds a huge impact in laser technology and imaging systems. Although it is necessary to clearly measure the specific value of the beam waist, the traditional measurement steps are complex and easily introduce error in the measurement process. In this work, we propose an effective method using the in-plane spin splitting (IPSS) generated by the photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE) to precisely estimate the beam waist.

This study investigated the relationship between personality states and driving behavior from a dynamic perspective. A personality baseline was introduced to reflect the driver's trait level and can be used as a basic reference for the dynamic change of personality states. Three kinds of simulated scenarios triggered by pedestrian crossing the street were established using a virtual reality driving simulator.

The photonic spin Hall effect (SHE) manifests itself as the spin-dependent spatial and angular shifts. There are some ways for controlling the spatial shifts, however, lacks an effective method for manipulating angular shifts. In this work, we propose a simple and effective way for manipulating the spin angular shifts in photonic SHE by considering the light beam reflected at the air-layered structure interface.

A pH-sensitive near-infrared fluorescent probe with alkaline pKa, AlkaP-1, was developed by incorporating a benzoyl hydrazine group into a cyanine dye. The significant fluorescence changes in the alkaline regions enable the probe to monitor the alkalization process from acute wounds to chronic wounds in diabetic mice.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is recognized as a biologically essential gaseous neurotransmitter that modulates many physiological processes in living subjects. Currently reported fluorescent probes for CO imaging in cells basically utilize palladium related chemistry which requires complicated synthetic work. Herein we provide a new strategy to construct a fluorescent nanoprobe, NanoCO-1, based on the Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism by entrapping the existing dirhodium complex as the energy acceptor and the CO recognition part, and a commonly used nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) dye as energy donor into a micelle formed by self-assembly.
