[Effects of fertilizer and agent on growth of young peach tree and soil environment under replant condition].

We analyzed the effects of fertilizer and agent supplementation at different concentrations in the replanted soil by examining the growth of young peach trees, soil nutrients, enzyme activities, and fungal commu-nity. The aim of this study was to provide theoretical basis for alleviating peach replant diseases. One-year-old potted 'Yuanmeng' peach trees were subjected to eight treatments: replanted soil without supplementation (RS), non-replanted soil without supplementation (NS), replanted soil with 1%, 4%, 8% fertilizer supplementation (BF, BF, BF), and 0.

A Flexible and Ultra-Highly Sensitive Tactile Sensor through a Parallel Circuit by a Magnetic Aligned Conductive Composite.

The development of flexible electronic skins with high performance and multifunctional sensing capabilities is of great significance for applications ranging from healthcare monitoring to artificial intelligence. To mimic and surpass the high-gauge-factor sensing properties of human skin, structure design and appropriate material selection of sensors are both essentially required. Here, we present an efficient, low-cost fabrication strategy to construct an ultra-highly sensitive, flexible pressure sensor by embedding the aligned nickel-coated carbon fibers (NICFs) in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate.

Facile Fabrication of Flexible Pressure Sensor with Programmable Lattice Structure.

Flexible pressure sensors have attracted intense attention because of their widespread applications in electronic skin, human-machine interfaces, and healthcare monitoring. Conductive porous structures are always utilized as active layers to improve the sensor sensitivities. However, flexible pressure sensors derived from traditional foaming techniques have limited structure designability.

Evaluation of berberine as a natural fungicide: biodegradation and antimicrobial mechanism.

Berberine (BBR) is a traditional Chinese medicine which recently was applied as a biological pesticide. Here, we studied the antimicrobial mode of BBR and its impact on soil bacterial diversity. BBR was more effective against fungi than bacteria due to the specific interaction between BBR and glucan.

Clinical characteristics and risk factors of infections caused by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in a hospital in northwest China.

Introduction: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infections have recently increased in importance in China, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs). The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of S. maltophilia infection in ICU of a hospital in northwest China.
