To address the limitations of weak information extraction of rolling bearing fault features and the poor generalization performance of diagnostic methods, a novel method was proposed based on sparrow search algorithm (SSA)-Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) and refined composite multi-scale dispersion entropy (RCMDE). Firstly, SSA optimized the key parameters of VMD to decompose the fault signal. The time-frequency domain comprehensive evaluation factor algorithm was then employed to select the sensitive intrinsic mode function (IMF) components for reconstruction.

Epidemic encephalitis B caused by Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a common zoonotic disease that poses threats to both pigs and humans. The cellular defense mechanism is closely tied to the body's resistance to viral invasion. Regulated cell death, such as ferroptosis, is a strategy employed by host cells to defend against viral invasions.

Benefiting from the merits of intrinsic safety, high power density, environmental friendliness, and high-output voltage, aqueous dual-ion batteries (ADIBs) have shown broad potential applications in future grid-scale energy storage. However, since the ADIBs require the cathodes to undergo the intercalation reactions through different local structures and mechanisms, causing large structural deformation and cathode failure, their reversible cation-anion intercalation in the cathode remains a major challenge. To address this issue, based on a reasonable selection and theoretical simulation, this work finds that Todorokite manganese dioxide (t-MnO) cathode with a metal-ion stabilized 3 × 3 large-tunnel structure should be suitable for cation-anion intercalation of ADIBs.

The manipulation of femtosecond plasmon resonance and lifetime in a nanoantenna is crucial for the realization of integrated and miniaturized plasmonic circuits. Here, we have used FDTD simulations to study the plasmonic resonance and lifetime variation of the far-end (P) and near-end (P) hotspots of size-gradient nanoresonators. We found that the near-field spectrum of P is red-shifted compared to P due to the phase retardation effect.

Due to the uncertain differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs), replenishing lost neurons by endogenous neural differentiation to repair spinal cord injury (SCI) remains challenging. The electrical stimulation-induced drug release is a promising approach for the localized and controlled release of drugs to regulate the differentiation of NSCs into neurons. Here, we developed Zn-PDA@BT nanoparticles acted as Trojan Horse to enter cells through endocytosis for Zn-controlled release therapy by the potentials generated by the piezoelectric effect.

Article Synopsis
  • Basal cells (BCs) maintain the tracheal epithelium's integrity, and mitochondrial pyruvate carriers (MPCs) are crucial for determining BC fate.
  • Inhibiting MPCs allows BCs from both mice and humans to expand long-term, with genetic changes in mice showing issues in cell differentiation and regeneration.
  • The study suggests that manipulating pyruvate-citrate metabolism could correct abnormal BC behavior in lung diseases, including chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD).

The generation of cold molecules is an important topic in the field of cold atoms and molecules and has received relevant advanced research attention in ultracold chemistry, quantum computation, and quantum metrology. With a high atomic phase space density, optical dipole traps have been widely used to prepare, trap, and study cold molecules. In this work, Rb2 molecules were photoassociated in a magneto-optical trap to obtain a precise rovibrational spectrum, which provided accurate numerical references for the realization of multiple frequency photoassociation.

Photoperiod can regulate the broodiness of geese and thus increase their egg-laying rate. The laying performance of geese is mainly determined by ovary and follicle development. To understand the effect of photoperiod on the ovary and small white follicles, sixteen 220-day-old healthy female Zhedong white geese were randomly divided into two groups for long photoperiods (15L:9D) and short photoperiods (9L:15D).

Tumor tissues exhibit a complex spatial architecture within the tumor microenvironment (TME). Spatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT) is promising for unveiling the spatial structures of the TME at both cellular and molecular levels, but identifying pathology-relevant spatial domains remains challenging. Here, we introduce SpaTopic, a statistical learning framework that harmonizes spot clustering and cell-type deconvolution by integrating single-cell transcriptomics and SRT data.

Two prevalent ecological mechanisms, niche dimensionality and light asymmetry, may well explain species loss with fertilization gradients in grassland communities. Although there is still controversy surrounding the two competitive mechanisms that maintain species coexistence, few studies have examined the patterns of change in dissimilarity in species composition (β-diversity) and the relative explanatory contributions of plant functional traits to α- and β-diversity when multiple resources are added. To clarify this knowledge gap, we conducted a 6-year experiment of resource addition in an alpine meadow on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to assess how species richness and spatial β-diversity are affected by increasing numbers of added resources (NAR) and light limitation.

Objective: Asparagine synthetase (ASNS) is an aminotransferase responsible for the biosynthesis of aspartate by using aspartic acid and glutamine. ASNS is highly expressed in fast-growing broilers, but few studies have reported the regulatory role of ASNS in muscle development.

Methods: To explore the function of ASNS in chicken muscle development, the expression of ASNS in different chicken breeds and tissues were first performed by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

Unsupervised semantic segmentation is important for understanding that each pixel belongs to known categories without annotation. Recent studies have demonstrated promising outcomes by employing a vision transformer backbone pre-trained on an image-level dataset in a self-supervised manner. However, those methods always depend on complex architectures or meticulously designed inputs.

Naphtha, as the primary raw material in the production of light olefins, could well accommodate their increasing demand through the energy-efficient process of catalytic cracking with ZSM-5. In the current work, different amounts of lanthanum and phosphorous were loaded on ZSM-5 using the wet impregnation method to tune the acidic properties of ZSM-5 for selective catalytic cracking of n-hexane to produce light olefins. Various characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Al nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), temperature-programmed desorption of NH (NH-TPD), Py-Fourier transform infra-red (Py-FTIR), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), N adsorption-desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy were adopted to investigate the modified zeolites.
