We propose a scheme for cooling a mechanical resonator to its ground state in a quadratic optomechanical system, assisted by an atomic ensemble in the unresolved sideband regime. The system features an auxiliary cavity directly coupled to an optical cavity, with a portion of the optical cavity's output field being fed back through an asymmetric beam splitter. Utilizing quantum Langevin and master equations, we derive the optical fluctuation spectrum, the cooling rate, and the mean phonon number of the mechanical resonator.

Methods: From June 2022 to March 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to recruit 208 acute leukemia patients in the inpatient center of a hospital in Hebei. The Chinese versions of Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale, Illness Acceptance Scale, and Anderson Symptom Assessment Scale was used in the cross-sectional study.
The buckling response of functionally graded (FG) porous spherical caps reinforced by graphene platelets (GPLs) is assessed here, including both symmetric and uniform porosity patterns in the metal matrix, together with five different GPL distributions. The Halpin-Tsai model is here applied, together with an extended rule of mixture to determine the elastic properties and mass density of the selected shells, respectively. The equilibrium equations of the pre-buckling state are here determined according to a linear three-dimensional (3D) elasticity basics and principle of virtual work, whose solution is determined from classical finite elements.

Forty-six women of reproductive age with haemoglobin 70-110 g/L were recruited. Blood samples were collected before and after 4 weeks of oral BYP treatment to assess the changes in haemoglobin, coagulation function, and iron metabolism indices.

Materials And Methods: Sixty-six immature male NMRI rats were divided into control (10), epileptic (10), and treatment groups (46). The stage 5 latency (S5L) and stage 5 duration (S5D) were assessed along with the shuttle box test.
Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of oral administration of Buxue Yimu Pills (BYP, ), ferrous sulfate (FS), and the combination of BYP and FS on gynecological anemia, and investigate the mechanisms using network pharmacology.
Methods: A randomized, controlled, multi-center clinical trial was conducted. Totally 150 patients with hemoglobin of 70-110 g/L due to gynecological conditions were recruited and randomized (using the block randomization method) into Buxue Yimu Pills group (24 g/d), oral iron group (FS Tablets, 0.
The oxidation stability of orange oil flavours encapsulated in carbohydrate based spray dry delivery systems is assessed through accelerated shelf life testing, compatible with the physical state of the delivery system. It is demonstrated here that the oxidative shelf life stability is limited by the diffusion of oxygen through the carbohydrate matrix. Determination of the evolution of orange oil oxidation products with time and correlations with simple but accurate sensory data allows for prediction of absolute shelf life.

Concentrated vanilla bean extracts were analyzed using GC-MS and GC-O. Two hundred and forty-six volatile compounds were identified using the Automated Mass Spectral Deconvolution and Identification System (AMDIS) software, of which 13 were confirmed with authentic compounds from commercial sources and the others were tentatively identified on the basis of calibrated linear retention indices and the comparison of deconvoluted mass spectra with the in-house and/or NIST spectra databases.

The simulation employed a numerical mass transfer model with a concentration dependent apparent diffusion coefficient (D(app)) measured using Dynamic Vapor Sorption. The mass average moisture content increase and the associated decrease in T(g) were successfully modeled over time.

However, observations of tumor progression and metastasis are limited by the deep location of the colon or limited deep penetration ability of fluorescence through tissue. The purpose of this study is to establish a superficial orthotopic model to allow easier real-time visualization and more sensitive monitoring of fluorescent orthotopic colon tumor.

To study the correlation between acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and HLA-A, B and DRB1 gene in southern Chinese Han population and to investigate the susceptible HLA gene to ALL, a total of 4707 healthy volunteer bone marrow donors from southern Chinese Han population were used as a control group, 201 patients diagnosed as patient group from southern Han individuals were genotyped at HLA-A, B and DRB1 loci by PCR-SSP, PCR-SSOP and SBT. HLA allele frequency and its distribution of ALL patient group were compared with the control group by using chi(2) test, and calculated the statistic value of relative risk (RR), pathogenicity score (EF) and preventive score (PF). The results showed that in comparison with the control group, the gene frequence of HLA-A26, B56 and DR9 increased significantly, but the gene frequence of HLA-A30, A33 and B58 allele frequency decreased significantly for patients with ALL.
