Background: Breastfeeding is the optimal source of nutrition for infants and young children, essential for their healthy growth and development. However, a gap in cohort studies tracking breastfeeding up to six months postpartum may lead caregivers to miss critical intervention opportunities.
Methods: This study conducted a three-wave prospective cohort analysis to examine maternal breastfeeding trajectories within the first six months postpartum and to develop risk prediction models for each period using advanced machine learning algorithms.
A novel composite electrospun fiber with high photocatalytic efficiency, good stability, strong hydrophobicity, good pollution resistance, and easy separation and recovery was synthesized. The TiO@g-CN (TCN) with special core-shell structure (5-10 nm shell) facilitated the separation of photogenerated electron-holes and had high photocatalytic performance. The poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) electrospun fiber immobilized with TCN was successfully fabricated (PVDF-TCN) with uniform distribution and size of nanofibers by using electrospinning, which was used for degrading tetracycline under visible-light irradiation (> 400 nm).

The influence of the source to object distance and the object to scintillator distance on the image resolution and contrast is studied experimentally. A phase correlation algorithm is used for the image mosaic of a serial of X-ray phase contrast images acquired with high resolution, the resulting resolution is less than 1.

In inertial confinement fusion (ICF) physics experiment, the micro-shell that contains Br-doped CH coating must be characterized for doping Br concentration level. X-ray fluorescence (XRF), with its unique capability to quantitatively determine concentrations of most elements simultaneously and non-destructively, is generally the method of choice for total dopant (Z > 11) concentration. In the present paper, a method to determine the dopant concentration in ICF micro-shell coating with X-ray fluorescence spectrometry is described, and the calibration model is founded by the calculation of fluorescence intensity of film and micro-shell sample.

The liquefaction processes of deuterium are examined by the Mach-Zehnder interference and infrared spectra. The infrared-absorption spectra of deuterium show a strong absorption peak around 3040 nm at 19 K.
