A two-stage hybrid NSGA-III with BWO for path planning and task allocation in agricultural land preparation.

Automated large-scale farmland preparation operations face significant challenges related to path planning efficiency and uniformity in resource allocation. To improve agricultural production efficiency and reduce operational costs, an enhanced method for planning land preparation paths is proposed. In the initial stage, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are employed to collect data from the field, which is then used to construct accurate farm models.

Challenge-Hindrance Stressors and Novice Nurses' Safety Behaviour: The Mediating Role of Regulatory Focus and the Moderating Role of Workplace Spirituality.

Aims: This study aims to investigate the impact of challenge-hindrance stressors on novice nurses' safety behaviour, the mediating effect of regulatory focus, and the moderating effect of workplace spirituality.

Background: The relationship between challenge-hindrance stressors and novice nurses' safety behaviour has rarely been investigated, despite the global concern for patient safety in healthcare systems. Previous research suggests that regulatory focus and workplace spirituality matter for nurse safety behaviour, but the relationship between them remains unclear.

Pulmonary Hemodynamic Parameters Derived from 4D Flow MR Imaging Can Provide Sensitive Markers for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patients with Right Ventricular Dysfunction.

Purpose: To investigate the potential of 4D flow MRI-derived pulmonary hemodynamic parameters as sensitive markers for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with right ventricular dysfunction (RVD).

Methods: We enrolled 15 COPD patients combined with RVD and 43 non-RVD participants, all of them underwent pulmonary function tests, thoracic CT and cardiac MR examinations, and the image post-processing analysis was completed. After comparing the 2 groups, the average flow velocity of the main pulmonary artery (Vavg-MPA) and the right pulmonary artery (Vavg-RPA) were identified as statistically significant confounding factors, propensity score matching was used to pair patients controlling for these 2 parameters.

Profiling of blood miRNAomes revealed the potential regulatory role of miRNAs in various lameness phenotypes in feedlot cattle.

Background: Lameness is a collective term for multiple foot diseases in cattle including, but not limited to, foot rot (FR), digital dermatitis (DD), and toe tip necrosis (TTN), which is a critical welfare concern. The diagnosis of specific phenotypes of lameness in feedlot cattle is challenging and primarily relies on visual assessments. However, different lameness phenotypes share similar clinical symptoms and there is a limited understanding of potential biomarkers relating to such disease for further molecular diagnosis.

Preparation and Performance Study of Composite Aramid Paper for High-Frequency Working Conditions.

When the power converter connects to the high-frequency transformer breaks through the bottleneck and reaches a frequency of 100 kHz or even higher, the high-frequency transformer's inter-turn insulation faces more serious high-frequency discharge and high-temperature problems. In order to improve the service performance of oil-immersed high-frequency transformer insulation paper, composite K-BNNS particles are prepared by ultrasonic stripping, heat treatment, and thermomagnetic stirring. Then, K-BNNS particles are mixed with PMIA (polymeric m-phenylenediamine solution) slurry to produce composite aramid paper.

Ethanol marshall bundle elimination, pulmonary vein isolation, and linear ablation for atrial fibrillation with or without heart failure.

Background: In medical practice, atrial fibrillation (AF) is intricately associated with heart failure (HF). Currently, ethanol infusion of vein of Marshall (EIVOM) for AF ablation in HF patients remains significantly limited.

Method: This was a non-randomized, single-center, retrospective observational study.

Optimized separation of astaxanthin stereoisomers from microbial sources using chiral HPLC.

Astaxanthin (AST) is a high-value antioxidant, and its efficient isolation and utilization are challenging owing to the presence of different stereoisomers from various sources. In the present study, a semi-preparative HPLC method for the efficient separation of AST stereoisomers using a Chiralpak IC chiral column with good loading capacity and chiral recognition ability was successfully developed. The mobile phase was methanol-methyl -butyl ether (90 : 10, v/v), with a flow rate of 3.

An L-cysteine based sensor for Cu detection applicable for both environmental water and human plasma.

A flexible electrochemical sensor with high sensitivity and specificity is developed using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and a reduced graphene oxide/molybdenum disulfide (rGo-MoS) composite modified screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE), with L-cysteine (L-Cys) as a probe for Cu target recognition. Owing to the AuNPs/rGo-MoS, the electron transference ability is improved by increasing the specific surface area of the working electrode, and a high sensitivity is achieved. Meanwhile, the bidentate chelation of L-Cys to Cu contributes to a good selectivity.

In-situ observation of heavy ion beam-induced luminescence of AlO (Cr) in a 0 - 10 T magnetic field background.

High energy density physics driven by intense heavy ion beams will be an important new project for the high intensity heavy-ion accelerator facility and the Dongjiang Laboratory. This paper presents an experimental investigation of ion beam-induced luminescence in a strong magnetic field background at HIRFL. The experiment utilizes a 430 MeV/u Kr ion beam with a pulse duration of 300 ns to bombard an AlO (Cr) solid target.

Carbonate precipitation-derived CO outgassing offsets the mineral weathering sink in the orogenic regime of southwestern Taiwan: Insights from triple Sr isotopes.

Secondary carbonate precipitation plays a crucial role in determining the CO outgassing from carbonate-saturated rivers and influences the short-term terrestrial carbon cycle. The fractionation of stable isotopes has been extensively employed to quantify post-weathering reactions in rivers and assess the quantities of metals removed by secondary carbonates. However, a major challenge is that water isotopic compositions usually reflect both lithological mixing and biogeochemical fractionation, which complicates distinguishing between these signals.

Structural insights into human ELAC2 as a tRNA 3' processing enzyme.

Human elaC ribonuclease Z 2 (ELAC2) removes the 3' trailer of precursor transfer ribonucleic acid (pre-tRNA). Mutations in ELAC2 are highly associated with the development of prostate cancer and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. However, the catalytic mechanism of ELAC2 remains unclear.

Expectancy Violations and Discontinuance Behavior in Live-Streaming Commerce: Exploring Human Interactions with Virtual Streamers.

Virtual streamers, as a typical application of AI-enabled digital humans, are increasingly being utilized in live-streaming commerce due to technological advancements and industry innovations. Although virtual streamers present several benefits, there is potential for adverse effects when they do not align with consumer expectations. Drawing upon expectancy violations theory, this study developed a theoretical model to explore whether and how consumers' expectation violations during human-virtual streamer interactions affect consumers' discontinuance behavior.
