A Study on Real-time Detection of Rice Diseases in Farmlands Based on Multi-dimensional Data Fusion.

To meet the need of crop leaf disease detection in complex scenarios, this study designs a method based on the computing power of mobile devices that ensures both detection accuracy and real-time efficiency, offering significant practical application value. Based on a comparison with existing mainstream detection models, this paper proposes a target detection and recognition algorithm, TG_YOLOv5, which utilizes multi-dimensional data fusion on the YOLOv5 model. The triplet attention mechanism and C3CBAM module are incorporated into the network structure to capture connections between spatial and channel dimensions of input feature maps, thereby enhancing the model's feature extraction capabilities without significantly increasing the parameter count.

HIV risk and influence factors among MSM who had sought sexual partners in core venues: a continuous sentinel surveillance in 2010-2022.

Background: Seeking sexual partners in men who have sex with men (MSM) venues has been regarded as a high-risk behavior for HIV among MSM. Nevertheless, with the implementation of venue-based interventions and the change in the way MSM seek sexual partners, the continued status of MSM venues as the HIV risk factor remains inconclusive. This study endeavors to delve into this ambiguity by examining the MSM sexual contact network (SCN) as a foundation.

Stacking Configurations of Triangular Au and Tetrahedral Au Units in Thiolate-Protected Gold Nanoclusters: Insights into Structural Stability and Growth Mechanisms.

Triangular Au and tetrahedral Au are key structural units in the face-centered cubic gold core of thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters. Understanding their stacking arrangements is essential for elucidating the growth mechanisms of these gold cores. In this study, we design two new isomers of Au(SR) nanoclusters via deliberately adjusting the stacking pattern of Au and Au based on the grand unified model and ring model to show preferable packing arrangements.

GLS1-mediated glutamine metabolism mitigates oxidative stress-induced matrix degradation, ferroptosis, and senescence in nucleus pulposus cells by modulating Fe homeostasis.

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is intricately linked to the pathogenesis of low back pain (LBP). The balance of nucleus pulposus (NP) cell and intervertebral disc (IVD) integrity is significantly supported by amino acid metabolism within an avascular milieu. However, the specific metabolic demands during the progression of IDD are not fully understood.

JAG1 mediates apoptosis in herpes simplex keratitis by suppressing autophagy via ROS/JAG1/NOTCH1/pULK1 signaling pathway.

Herpes simplex keratitis (HSK), an ocular disease resulted from herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection, leads to the majority of infectious corneal blindness worldwide. The apoptosis of corneal epithelial cells (CECs) resulted from HSV-1 disrupts the epithelial barrier and exacerbates the infection; however, there is no definitive cure for HSK. Jagged1 (JAG1), one of the primary functional ligands for NOTCH receptors, plays a crucial role in regulating apoptosis and autophagy; however, its role in HSK is unclear.
