Contrasting responses of gross N transformation to oxalic acid and glucose supplement in paddy soil.

Labile organic carbon (C) substrates could accelerate microbial transformation of soil N pool by stimulating the decomposition of large molecule organic N. However, it remains unclear how gross N transformation processes (protein depolymerization, amino acid uptake, microbial N mineralization and NH-N uptake rates) in response to individual C substrates. Typical paddy soil was incubated with the supplement of oxalic acid or glucose under simulated field water conditions for 16 days to assess the gross N transformation rates by N pool dilution assays.

How L2 Learners Process Different Means of Time Encoding in a Tenseless Language: An ERP Study of Mandarin.

In the past, research on the cognitive neural mechanism of second language (L2) learners' processing time information has focused on Indo-European languages. It has also focused on the temporal category expressed by morphological changes. However, there has been a lack of research on L2 learners' various time coding means, especially for Mandarin, which lacks morphological changes.

Carbon sequestration potential and its main drivers in soils under alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.).

As a perennial forage crop, alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) has been extensively utilized for the vegetation restoration of degraded soil and provides feedstock for forage. Its high usage can be attributed to its high yield potential and the increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration of alfalfa cultivation.

Wetland soil organic carbon balance is reversed by old carbon and iron oxide additions.

Iron (Fe) oxides can stabilize organic carbon (OC) through adsorption and co-precipitation, while microbial Fe reduction can disrupt Fe-bound OC (Fe-OC) and further increase OC mineralization. The net effects of OC preservation and mineralization mediated by Fe oxides are still unclear, especially for old carbon (formed from plant litters over millions of years) and crystalline Fe oxides. Accelerating the recovery of wetland carbon sinks is critical for mitigating climate change and achieving carbon neutrality.

Serum amyloid A is a potential predictor of prognosis in acute ischemic stroke patients after intravenous thrombolysis.

Objectives: Inflammation shows a notable relationship to acute ischemic stroke's (AIS) occurrence and prognosis. However, existing research has confirmed that serum amyloid A (SAA) is an inflammatory biomarker. The aim of this paper was to investigate the association between SAA and the three-month clinical results of acute AIS patients after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).

Processing Aspectual Agreement in a Language with Limited Morphological Inflection by Second Language Learners: An ERP Study of Mandarin Chinese.

Previous studies on the neural cognitive mechanisms of aspectual processing in second language (L2) learners have focused on Indo-European languages with rich inflectional morphology. These languages have aspects which are equipped with inflected verb forms combined with auxiliary or modal verbs. Meanwhile, little attention has been paid to Mandarin Chinese, which has limited morphological inflection, and its aspect is equipped with aspectual particles (e.

A Convolutional Neural Network-Based Intelligent Medical System with Sensors for Assistive Diagnosis and Decision-Making in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

In many regions of the world, early diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a major challenge due to the large population and lack of medical resources, which is difficult toeffectively address via limited physician manpower alone. Therefore, we developed a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based assisted diagnosis and decision-making intelligent medical system with sensors. This system analyzes NSCLC patients' medical records using sensors to assist staging a diagnosis and provides recommended treatment plans to physicians.

Processing Aspectual Agreement in an Inflexionless Language: An ERP Study of Mandarin Chinese.

This is a study of the collocation of Chinese verbs with different lexical aspects and aspect markers. Using event-related potentials (ERPs), we explored the processing of aspect violation sentences. In the experiment, we combined verbs of various lexical aspect types with the progressive aspect marker , and the combination of the achievement verbs and the progressive aspect marker constituted the sentence's aspect violation.

Water use conflict between wetland and agriculture.

To analyze the water use conflict and its driving factors between wetland and agriculture at both regional and local scales, agricultural water consumption and wetland water storage changes in the Sanjiang Plain, the main grain-producing area in Heilongjiang Province of Amur River Basin, were investigated based on statistical data, field survey and GIS calculation. A specific case study in the Qixing River National Nature Reserve (QNNR) wetland-farmland system was completed using a water balance approach. Results showed that the proportion of agricultural water increased from 71.
