This paper evaluates the dynamic iteration method as a research approach with the factors of resource allocation consisting of value assessment, optimization objective, difference between value assessment and objective, and optimization calculation. The paper selects the shadow price from the Super-SBM model as the judgment function for the goal value, aiming for the fairness criterion.

Among various strategies, physical exercise (PE) emerges as a prevalent activity routinely incorporated in many individuals' lives. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to elucidate the impact of PE on white matter (WM) integrity and cognitive function in older adults.

Only a few NP therapeutics are currently available, and all of them do not provide adequate pain relief. Herein, we report the discovery of a selective and potent inhibitor of the bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) proteins for reducing neuroinflammation and excitability to treat NP.

The function and dynamic regulation of mA depends on the "writer", "readers" and "erasers". YT521-B homology domain family (YTHDF) is a class of mA binding proteins, including YTHDF1, YTHDF2 and YTHDF3.

When ceramsite sand is used as a 3DP material to produce a mold (core), the printed layer is prone to deviation from the original location. In this study, the continuous stacking of the printed part deviation was termed as pushing dislocation, and a physical model was designed to investigate the pushing dislocation mechanism.

Environmental regulation (ER) is essential to preventing agricultural non-point source pollution (ANSP). Prior research has focused on the effect of ER on agricultural pollution (AP), but little is known about the impact of ER following digitization on preventing AP, particularly ANSP. Based on the spatial heterogeneity, the effect of ER was examined using a geographic detector tool with provincial panel data from 2010 to 2020 in rural China.

This study performs the spatial Durbin model (SDM) and threshold model to analyze the efficiency of agricultural green production following technological progress from 1998 through 2019. The SDM supports a nonlinear contribution of technological progress spillover to agricultural green total factor productivity (GTFP), exacerbated by upgrading agricultural structure. Moreover, the threshold model confirms that technological progress has a single threshold effect on agricultural GTFP with the rationalization of the agrarian system as a threshold variable; meanwhile, the contribution of technological progress to agricultural GTFP is less than that of agricultural total factor productivity.

It threatens the lives of hospitalized patients and has been one of the leading causes of death in hospitalized patients over the past decades. BRD4 has been regarded as a potential target for sepsis therapy, for its critical role in the transcriptional expression of NF-κB pathway-dependent inflammatory factors.

Compared to SARS and MERS, COVID-19 also causes severe respiratory diseases and even fatal diseases but have many differences, such as the unidentified gene sequence and replication mechanism. From SARS to MERS, and then to COVID-19, coronaviruses have significant variations in host adaptation, virus evolution, infectivity, spread, and pathogenicity due to its unique replication mechanism.

However, only a few reports record the occurrence of PHCZs in farmland soils, and the sources of which were not yet been implemented. In this study, 12 PHCZs and carbazole (CZ) were screened in farmland soil samples from the Three Northeast Provinces, and the ∑PHCZs were in the range of 18.

Here, we examined temporal dynamics underlying the modulations of the aversive mood state on neural responses of anticipating and perceiving affective pictures. Participants were asked to perform an affective cueing paradigm in both threat and safe contexts.

By constructing the difference-in-difference (DID) model for whole 24 counties in Zhongshan of China, we found that with the opining of Intercity EMU, GDP growth and population inflow of the counties with Intercity EMU stations are significantly higher than those of without stations. Based on the Sharp Regression Discontinuity (SRD) Approach, we found that with the opining of Intercity EMU, the ratio of Guangzhou's GDP to that of other regions has obviously expanded, thus the opening of Intercity EMU has obviously widened the disparity of regional economic scale.

Prospectively, employing two-dimensional (2D) crystals or nanosheets of functionality-rich transition metal oxides would notably enrich the general knowledge for desirable fiber constructions and more importantly would greatly broaden the scope of functionalities. However, the fibers obtained up to now have been limited to carbon-related materials, while those made of 2D crystals of metal oxides have not been achieved, probably due to the intrinsically low mechanical stiffness of a molecular sheet of metal oxides, which is only few hundredths of that for graphene.
