Transcriptome Regulation Mechanisms Difference between Female and Male in Response to Drought Stress and Rehydration.

Drought, a pervasive global challenge, significantly hampers plant growth and crop yields, with drought stress being a primary inhibitor. Among resilient species, , a warm-season and dioecious turfgrass, stands out for its strong drought resistance and minimal maintenance requirements, making it a favored choice in ecological management and landscaping. However, there is limited research on the physiological and molecular differences in drought resistance between male and female To decipher the transcriptional regulation dynamics of these sexes in response to drought, RNA-sequencing analysis was conducted using the 'Texoka' cultivar as a model.

Deep Neural Network-Based Fusion Localization Using Smartphones.

Indoor location-based services (LBS) have tremendous practical and social value in intelligent life due to the pervasiveness of smartphones. The magnetic field-based localization method has been an interesting research hotspot because of its temporal stability, ubiquitousness, infrastructure-free nature, and good compatibility with smartphones. However, utilizing discrete magnetic signals may result in ambiguous localization features caused by random noise and similar magnetic signals in complex symmetric and large-scale indoor environments.

Characterization of Two -like Genes and Their Promoters from the (Orchidaceae).

() play roles in determining stamens' and carpels' identities, floral meristem determinacy, and repression of the A-function. Gynostemium fused by stamens and carpels is a characteristic reproductive structure in orchid flowers, which shows a considerable difference from the reproductive organs of eudicots and other monocot species. The molecular basis of orchid gynostemium development remains largely unknown.

Wearable Sensor-Based Monitoring of Environmental Exposures and the Associated Health Effects: A Review.

Recent advances in sensor technology have facilitated the development and use of personalized sensors in monitoring environmental factors and the associated health effects. No studies have reviewed the research advancement in examining population-based health responses to environmental exposure via portable sensors/instruments. This study aims to review studies that use portable sensors to measure environmental factors and health responses while exploring the environmental effects on health.

[Day-Night Differences and Source Apportionment of Inorganic Components of PM During Summer-Winter in Changzhou City].

To investigate the day-night variation characteristics of inorganic components in atmospheric aerosol, PM samples were continuously collected for one month in Changzhou during summer and winter. Eleven water-soluble ions (WSⅡs) and 13 metal elements were compared in terms of their day-night character and sources. The results indicated that the day time average PM mass concentration was higher than the night time, while the percentage of the total WSⅡs in PM during the night was higher.

[Pollution Characteristics and Source Identification of PAHs in Atmospheric PM in Changzhou City].

A total of 55 ambient fine particle (PM) samples were collected in Changzhou City from January to August 2016. The concentrations of 17 PM-bound PAHs in the samples were analyzed by GC-MS. Results showed that seasonal average mass concentrations of PAHs in winter, spring, and summer were 140.
