A novel approach to attention mechanism using kernel functions: Kerformer.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is driving advancements across various fields by simulating and enhancing human intelligence. In Natural Language Processing (NLP), transformer models like the Kerformer, a linear transformer based on a kernel approach, have garnered success. However, traditional attention mechanisms in these models have quadratic calculation costs linked to input sequence lengths, hampering efficiency in tasks with extended orders.

Synergistic effect of co-culture rhizosphere : A promising strategy to enhance antimicrobial activity and plant growth-promoting function.

Rhizosphere is one of the important types of rhizosphere microorganisms that plays an important role in promoting plant growth and controlling plant diseases to maintain agricultural ecosystem balance and green ecological agriculture development as beneficial bacteria. Microbial co-culture simulates the complex biocommunity in nature, which has more advantages than the monoculture with a synergistic effect. As the key signal mediums of microorganisms, plants, and their interactions, microbial metabolites are of great significance in revealing their functional mechanism.

Attitudes Toward Psychiatry Among Medical Students With a Psychiatric Major at Chongqing Medical University.

Objectives: To understand the attitudes of medical students with a psychiatry major toward psychiatry at Chongqing medical university in China and to find out factors influencing students' career choice.

Methods: The present study used an online web survey tool to assess the attitudes toward psychiatry amongst 422 students majoring in psychiatry at Chongqing medical university in China using sociodemographic and Attitudes Toward Psychiatry-30 items (ATP-30) scales. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were used to examine associated factors.

The prevalence of and factors associated with antenatal depression among all pregnant women first attending antenatal care: a cross-sectional study in a comprehensive teaching hospital.

Background: Antenatal depression has become a common and serious problem, significantly affecting maternal and fetal health. However, evaluation and intervention methods for pregnant women in obstetric clinics are inadequate. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of and risk factors for depression among all pregnant women at their first attending antenatal care in the obstetrics clinic, a comprehensive teaching hospital, southwest of China.

Growth, structure and defects of (La,Sr)(Al,Ta)O crystals for preparing BiFeO thin films.

A new (La,Sr)(Al,Ta)O (LSAT) crystal is focused on in this paper to be used as an ideal substrate for preparing perfect BiFeO thin films. The crystal structures are designed with a low lattice mismatch between LSAT and BiFeO. LSAT crystals were grown by the Czochralski method.

Stressor-Oriented MUlticomponent Intervention and the WeLl-Being of Patients with Alzheimer's Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial (SOUL-P).

Background: Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) experience various stressors that negatively impact well-being. Most studies have, however, small effect size and are limited by the experiences of severe patients. Therefore, we conducted a single-blind, randomized controlled trial, which has included patients at different stages.

Lipidomics analysis of facial skin surface lipids between forehead and cheek: Association between lipidome, TEWL, and pH.

Background: Regional differences in skin characteristics are well known. Significant differences in skin physiology between the forehead and cheek have also been reported. However, there are few studies based on lipidomics at the molecular level.

Comparative genomic analysis of Bacillus paralicheniformis MDJK30 with its closely related species reveals an evolutionary relationship between B. paralicheniformis and B. licheniformis.

Background: Members of the genus Bacillus are important plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria that serve as biocontrol agents. Bacillus paralicheniformis MDJK30 is a PGPR isolated from the peony rhizosphere and can suppress plant-pathogenic bacteria and fungi. To further uncover the genetic mechanism of the plant growth-promoting traits of MDJK30 and its closely related strains, we used comparative genomics to provide insights into the genetic diversity and evolutionary relationship between B.

Characterization of circadian human facial surface lipid composition.

Background: The circadian rhythm is an endogenous clock that governs a wide range of physiological functions. In the skin, rhythmic changes in skin barrier function have been investigated at the physiological level; however, few studies at the molecular level have been reported. Additionally, there is no study on lipidomic profile variations of skin surface lipid (SSL), which could potentially explain the rhythmic changes in skin status.

miR-103a-2-5p/miR-30c-1-3p inhibits the progression of prostate cancer resistance to androgen ablation therapy via targeting androgen receptor variant 7.

Androgens and androgen receptors are vital factors involved in prostate cancer progression, and androgen ablation therapies are commonly used to treat advanced prostate cancer. However, the acquisition of androgen ablation therapy resistance remains a challenge. Recently, androgen receptor splicing variants lacking the ligand-binding domain have been reported to play a critical role in the acquisition of androgen ablation therapy resistance.

The mechanism of skin lipids influencing skin status.

Skin lipids, compose of sebocyte-, keratinocyte-, and microbe- derived lipids, dramatically influence skin status by different mechanisms. (I) Physical chemistry function: They are "mortar" to establish the physico-chemical barrier function of skin; (II) Biochemistry function: They function as signals in the complex signaling network originating at the epidermal level; (III) Microecology function: Sebocyte- and keratinocyte-derived lipids vary the composition of microbial skin flora, and microorganisms metabolize them to produce lipids as signal starting signaling transduction. Importantly, further research needs lipidiomics, more powerful analytical ability and high-throughput manner, to identify skin lipid components into individual species.

A review of the role of sebum in the mechanism of acne pathogenesis.

Acne is one of the most common skin disorders, and its occurrence is closely related to many factors, including sebum secretion, hormone levels, bacterial infection, and inflammatory reactions. Among these, changes in sebum secretion are believed to be one important factor of acne. Increased sebum secretion can induce acne occurrence, and increasing evidence indicates sebum component changes are also strongly related to acne occurrence.
