ViT-Based Face Diagnosis Images Analysis for Schizophrenia Detection.

Objectives: Computer-aided schizophrenia (SZ) detection methods mainly depend on electroencephalogram and brain magnetic resonance images, which both capture physical signals from patients' brains. These inspection techniques take too much time and affect patients' compliance and cooperation, while difficult for clinicians to comprehend the principle of detection decisions. This study proposes a novel method using face diagnosis images based on traditional Chinese medicine principles, providing a non-invasive, efficient, and interpretable alternative for SZ detection.

Near-zero-waste processing of jarosite waste to achieve sustainability: A state-of-the-art review.

Jarosite waste is a by-product generated from iron removal process in the jarosite process, which typically contains valuable metals including zinc, nickel, cobalt, silver, indium, and lead. Due to the large amount of jarosite and the less efficient and costly methods of recovering residual metals, it is mainly disposed by landfills. However, leachate generated from the landfills can release high concentrations of heavy metals, which contaminate nearby water resources and pose environmental and health risks.

Molecular response to the influences of Cu(II) and Fe(III) on forming biogenic manganese oxides by Pseudomonas putida MnB1.

The biogeochemical cycle of biogenic manganese oxides (BioMnOx) is closely associated with the environmental behavior and fate of various pollutants. It is significantly interfered by many metals, such as Cu and Fe. However, the bacterial molecular responses are not clear.

Effect of ph on migration patterns and degradation pathways of sulfamethazine in soil systems.

Sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs) are widely used antimicrobial agents in livestock and aquaculture, and most of them entering the animal's body will be released into the environment as prodrugs or metabolites, which ultimately affect human health through the food chain. Both acid deposition and salinization of soil may have an impact on the migration and degradation of antibiotics. Sulfamethazine (SM2), a frequently detected compound in agricultural soils, has a migration and transformation process in the environment that is closely dependent on environmental pH.

High performance of membrane capacitive deionization with ZnS/g-CN composite electrodes.

Capacitive deionization (CDI) is considered a promising technology for desalination of sea or brackish water. In this study, a ZnS/g-CN composite was synthesized through a one-step high-temperature method and used as the main material to fabricate CDI electrodes. The results of SEM and TEM showed that spherical-like nanoparticles of ZnS were uniformly distributed on the g-CN sheet.

Alloprevotella Can be Considered as a Potential Oral Biomarker in Intestinal Metaphase of Gastric Patients.

Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor with high incidence and death rate. Every year, Approximately 950,000 new cases of gastric cancer occur globally with nearly 700000 deaths,so gastric precancerous lesions(GPL) was crucial and important.At present, the effective diagnostic methods for gastric precancerous lesions are generally gastroscope and pathological changes of gastric mucosal, but those methods were invasive and would bring some pains to patients and not suitable for frequent and large-scale screening of gastric cancer or GPL.

Firstly, the various characteristics of the sponge cadmium at various locations in the device were compared, and it was concluded that the optimum purity of the sponge cadmium obtained from the anode was up to 94.

Association of CYP24A1 with survival and drug resistance in clinical cancer patients: a meta-analysis.

Background: Acquired chemo-drug resistance constantly led to the failure of chemotherapy for malignant cancers, consequently causing cancer relapse. Hence, identifying the biomarker of drug resistance is vital to improve the treatment efficacy in cancer. The clinical prognostic value of CYP24A1 remains inconclusive, hence we aim to evaluate the association between CYP24A1 and the drug resistance in cancer patients through a meta-analysis approach.

Single-Stage Extraction and Separation of Co from Ni Using Ionic Liquid of [CHNH][Cyanex 272].

The purpose of this study was to optimize the extraction conditions for separating Co from Ni using N-butylamine phosphinate ionic liquid of [CHNH][Cyanex 272]. A Box-Behnken design of response surface methodology was used to analyze the effects of the initial pH, extraction time, and extraction temperature on the separation factor of Co from sulfuric acid solution containing Ni. The concentrations of Co and Ni in an aqueous solution were determined using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry.

MicroRNA‑126 protects SH‑SY5Y cells from ischemia/reperfusion injury‑induced apoptosis by inhibiting RAB3IP.

MicroRNA (miR)‑126 is known to inhibit inflammatory responses in various inflammatory‑related diseases, but its role during the cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury remains unknown. The present study aimed to examine the interaction between miR‑126 and RAB3A interacting protein (RAB3IP), and explore its potential protective effects during I/R injury. The human neuroblastoma cell line SH‑SY5Y was cultured in an oxygen‑glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) environment to simulate I/R injury to assess miR‑126 expression and cell viability.

Effect of the electronegativity on the electrosorption selectivity of anions during capacitive deionization.

The effect of electronegativity on the electrosorption selectivity of anions during capacitive deionization was investigated via a combination of experimental and theoretical studies. A model was developed based on chemical thermodynamics and the classic Stern's model to reveal the role of the anode potential and to describe electrosorption selectivity behavior during capacitive deionization. The effects of the anode potential on the adsorption of Cl and ReO were studied and the obtained data were used to validate the model.

Unified beam splitter of fused silica grating under the second Bragg incidence.

A unified design for a 1×2 beam splitter of dielectric rectangular transmission gratings under the second Bragg incidence is theoretically investigated for TE- and TM-polarized light. The empirical equations of the relative grating parameters (ratio of the absolute one to incidence wavelength) for this design are also obtained with the simplified modal method (SMM). The influences of polarization of incident light and relative grating parameters on the performance of the beam splitter are thoroughly studied based on the SMM and rigorous coupled-wave analysis.

Using an intensified CCD spectroscopic detector (Princeton Instruments, ICCD PI-Max 1024 RB) which can be gated in as little as 5 ns, the synchronization of the measuring system was controlled by a digital delay generator (Stanford Research Systems, DG535), the DG535 was triggered externally by a lab-made electrical pulse generator which transformed the optical trigger signal to an electrical signal, and the light signal from the end window of an explosion shock tube was delivered by an 1 mm in diameter plastic optical fiber to the entrance slit of the spectrometer (grating of 150 g x mm(-1) , central wavelength of 550 nm). The spectrum measurement of the epoxypropane in the process of deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) was then made. The instantaneous emission spectra of epoxypropane at different time of the DDT process with an exposure time of several microseconds were acquired.
