However, the connection between OSA and BUCR is not yet fully understood.

Dual Radar: A Multi-modal Dataset with Dual 4D Radar for Autononous Driving.

4D radar has higher point cloud density and precise vertical resolution than conventional 3D radar, making it promising for adverse scenarios in the environmental perception of autonomous driving. However, 4D radar is more noisy than LiDAR and requires different filtering strategies that affect the point cloud density and noise level. Comparative analyses of different point cloud densities and noise levels are still lacking, mainly because the available datasets use only one type of 4D radar, making it difficult to compare different 4D radars in the same scenario.

Combination autologous stem cell transplantation with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for refractory/relapsed B-cell lymphoma: a single-arm clinical study.

Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T) have been used as consolidation therapies for patients with refractory/relapsed B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (R/R B-NHL) in remission after second-line chemotherapy or salvage therapy. However, patients with different pathological subtypes and remission states may benefit differently from ASCT or CAR-T cell therapy. Furthermore, consolidation treatment involving ASCT or CAR-T cells still poses a significant risk of disease relapse.

Antigenicity and genetic properties of an Eurasian avian-like H1N1 swine influenza virus in Jiangsu Province, China.

Pigs are vital genetic mixing vessels for human and avian influenza viruses because their tracheal epitheliums possess both sialic acid α-2,6-Gal and α-2,3-Gal receptors. Cross-species transmission of influenza A viruses from swine to humans occurs occasionally. The first case of human infection with the Eurasian avian-like H1N1 swine influenza virus (EAH1N1 SIVs) genotype G4 was detected in Jiangsu Province, China, in February 2023, and backtracking epidemiological investigations did not reveal a clear source of the infection.

Effect of Mixed Yeast Strains and Additives on the Quality of Long-Term Refrigerated Fermented Doughs.

With a prolonged refrigeration time, dough becomes syruped and the gluten strength is weakened, which negatively affects the texture of the dough. At the same time, differences in the growth and metabolism of different yeasts lead to large differences in the physicochemical properties of the dough and the final quality of the product. Therefore, in this study, suitable additives and non- were selected to minimize the effects of long-term refrigeration on the physicochemical properties and microstructure of fermented doughs.

NAD Promotes Superovulation of Huaxi Cattle Through Regulation of Cumulus Cell Proliferation and Oocyte Maturation.

Superovulation and embryo transfer are key technologies to improve the reproductive ability of female animals and enhance the efficiency of livestock production. However, poor-quality oocytes or abnormal fluctuations of hormone levels caused by superovulation affect the embryonic development environment, which may lead to a significant decline in the number and quality of transferable embryos, thus reducing the efficiency of superovulation. In this study, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) was injected into Huaxi cows during the superovulation period to observe the proliferation and apoptosis of transplanted embryos.

BEVHeight++: Toward Robust Visual Centric 3D Object Detection.

While most recent autonomous driving system focuses on developing perception methods on ego-vehicle sensors, people tend to overlook an alternative approach to leverage intelligent roadside cameras to extend the perception ability beyond the visual range. We discover that the state-of-the-art vision-centric detection methods perform poorly on roadside cameras. This is because these methods mainly focus on recovering the depth regarding the camera center, where the depth difference between the car and the ground quickly shrinks while the distance increases.

A feasible process for the degradation of psyllium arabinoxylan (AX) to arabino-xylo-oligosaccharides (AXOS) is proposed. A suspension of Trichoderma reesei mycelium suspension, acting on seed husks of psyllium as a carbon source, produced endo-β-1,4-xylanase (xynTR) and α-arabinofuranosidase (abfTR), with enzymatic activity levels of 11.09 ± 0.

One-pot synthesis of transition-metal-sulfides decorated CdS by low-temperature KSCN flux: An effective route to strengthen the interface for enhanced photocatalytic H evolution.

The performance of decorated photocatalysts is highly dependent on the interfacial contact between the cocatalyst and the substrate photocatalyst, which is essentially determined by their fabrication routes. Herein, a simple one-pot preparation method based on low-temperature KSCN flux was developed for the synthesis of sulfide photocatalysts with MS/CdS (MS = CoS, NiS, CuS, SnS, MoS, and WS) as prototypes. The results indicate that a sulfidation of Cd and the cocatalyst precursors can be achieved successively in the reaction system, which facilitates the formation of a welded interface as the cocatalysts can grow epitaxially on the formed CdS surface.
