Synergistic enhancement of pulsed light-induced H photoproduction in Chlamydomonas cells by optimal sulfite concentration and light waveform.

Pulsed light illumination stands out as a noteworthy technique for photosynthetic H production, playing a crucial role in eliminating O and activating hydrogenase enzymes. However, further improvements are essential to make H photoproduction suitable for future commercial applications. In our study, we observed a distinct enhancement in pulsed light-induced H photoproduction in the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii when treated with the optimal concentration of the mild O scavenger NaSO.

Dynamic Expression Profile of Follicles at Different Stages in High- and Low-Production Laying Hens.

Improving the efficiency of hens and extending the egg-laying cycle require maintaining high egg production in the later stages. The ovarian follicles, as the primary functional units for ovarian development and oocyte maturation, play a crucial role in regulating the continuous ovulation of hens. The egg production rate of laying hens is mostly affected by proper follicle growth and ovulation in the ovaries.

The pulse light mode enhances the effect of photobiomodulation on B16F10 melanoma cells through autophagy pathway.

Photobiomodulation (PBM) is the use of low irradiance light of specific wavelengths to generate physiological changes and therapeutic effects. However, there are few studies on the effects of PBM of different LED light modes on cells. Here, we investigated the difference of influence between continuous wave (CW) and pulse-PBM on B16F10 melanoma cells.

Evaluation of historical CMIP6 model simulations and future projections of temperature over the Pan-Third Pole region.

The Pan-Third Pole (PTP) region, which encompasses the Eurasian highlands and their surroundings, has experienced unprecedented, accelerated warming during the past decades. This study evaluates the performance of historical simulation runs of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) in capturing spatial patterns and temporal variations observed over the PTP region for mean and extreme temperatures. In addition, projected changes in temperatures under four Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) scenarios (SSP1-2.

Exploring the effects of large-area dorsal skin irradiation on locomotor activity and plasm melatonin level in C3H/He mice.

As the largest organ exposed to the outside of mammals, skin has direct photosensitivity. Recent studies have even shown that cutaneous irradiation played a role in local circadian systems. However, whether it can further affect the central clock system is controversial.

The Chicken Pan-Genome Reveals Gene Content Variation and a Promoter Region Deletion in IGF2BP1 Affecting Body Size.

Domestication and breeding have reshaped the genomic architecture of chicken, but the retention and loss of genomic elements during these evolutionary processes remain unclear. We present the first chicken pan-genome constructed using 664 individuals, which identified an additional approximately 66.5-Mb sequences that are absent from the reference genome (GRCg6a).

Global Observations and CMIP6 Simulations of Compound Extremes of Monthly Temperature and Precipitation.

Compound climate extremes, such as events with concurrent temperature and precipitation extremes, have significant impacts on the health of humans and ecosystems. This paper aims to analyze temporal and spatial characteristics of compound extremes of monthly temperature and precipitation, evaluate the performance of the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) models in simulating compound extremes, and investigate their future changes under Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs). The results show a significant increase in the frequency of compound warm extremes (warm/dry and warm/wet) but a decrease in compound cold extremes (cold/dry and cold/wet) during 1985-2014 relative to 1955-1984.

Comparative transcriptome analysis of gene expression patterns on B16F10 melanoma cells under Photobiomodulation of different light modes.

Cutaneous melanoma is one of the aggressive cancers. Recent studies have shown that Photobiomodulation (PBM) can inhibit the proliferation of melanoma cells. However, it is not clear that the effect of PBM light mode on the inhibition of melanoma cells.

Full-circle range and microradian resolution angle measurement using the orthogonal mirror self-mixing interferometry.

The self-mixing technique based on the traditional reflecting mirror has been demonstrated with great merit for angle sensing applications. In order to solve the problems of the narrow measurement angle range and low resolution in traditional angle measurement method, we proposed an angle measurement system using orthogonal mirror self-mixing interferometry combine an orthogonal mirror with designed mechanical linkage. It overcomes the shortcomings of traditional angle measurement methods and realized the angle measurement with microradian resolution in a full-circle range of 0 rad to 2π rad.
