Risk effects of environmental factors on human brucellosis in Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang, China, 2014-2023.

The context of rapid global environmental change underscores the pressing necessity to investigate the environmental factors and high-risk areas that contribute to the occurrence of brucellosis. In this study, a maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model was employed to analyze the factors influencing brucellosis in the Aksu Prefecture from 2014 to 2023. A distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) was employed to investigate the lagged effect of meteorological factors on the occurrence of brucellosis.

Bibliometric Analysis of Probiotic Bacillus in Food Science: Evolution of Research Trends and Systematic Evaluation.

With the in-depth and comprehensive research on probiotic Bacillus, it has become a hot topic in food science. However, the current status of research using bibliometric analysis to assess the application of probiotic Bacillus in food science has not been comprehensively reviewed. The Web of Science (WOS) database was used in this review's bibliometric analysis to determine the hotspots for research as well as the extent of completed experiments.

Multicooperation of Turtle-inspired amphibious spherical robots.

It is challenging to achieve high-speed and accurate multicooperation of turtle-inspired amphibious spherical robots (ASRs) in turbid water and confined spaces when the robots are underwater movement with multiple degrees of freedom (MDOF). This paper innovatively proposes a control strategy for modelling and experimental platforms that can communicate and cooperate between multiple robots. First, a novel underwater kinematic model using the unit quaternion (UQ) algorithm is proposed based on attitude interpolation to realize MDOF movement.

A Comprehensive Modeling of Microplastic Emission from Wastewater Treatment Plants to the Sea via Rivers in China.

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are significant sources of microplastic (MP) emissions. In order to quantify the potential MP emission from WWTPs, a database of more than 10,000 WWTPs in China with an estimated MP emission rate was built. The MP riverine retention after emission was also estimated based on Stokes' law for both fragments and fibers.

[Applications and prospects of graphene and its derivatives in bone repair].

Objective: To summarize the latest research progress of graphene and its derivatives (GDs) in bone repair.

Methods: The relevant research literature at home and abroad in recent years was extensively accessed. The properties of GDs in bone repair materials, including mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, and antibacterial properties, were systematically summarized, and the unique advantages of GDs in material preparation, functionalization, and application, as well as the contributions and challenges to bone tissue engineering, were discussed.
