The toxic gases emitted from industrial production have caused significant damage to the environment and human health, necessitating efficient gas sensors for their detection and removal. In this work, first-principles calculations are employed to investigate the potential application of diamanes for high-performance toxic gas sensors. The results show that nine gas molecules (CO, CO, NO, NO, NH, SO, N, O, and HO) are physisorbed on pristine diamane by weak van der Waals interactions.

Female common carp grow faster than male individuals, implying that rearing females could be more profitable in aquaculture. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) serve as versatile regulators with multiple functions in diverse biological processes. However, the roles of ncRNAs in the sex differentiation of common carp are less studied.

Article Synopsis
  • Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has been used to evaluate the texture of processed meats, but its effectiveness on live fish muscle, particularly in common carp, was previously untested.
  • The study involved scanning skin regions of live common carp to collect hyperspectral data and measuring eight texture indicators for four different muscle regions.
  • Machine learning models, especially BP-ANN, PLSR, and LS-SVM, were found to effectively predict muscle texture parameters from skin HSI data, leading to the creation of visual prediction maps for different muscle textures.

Article Synopsis
  • The experiment aimed to analyze the microorganisms in meibomian gland secretions from patients with internal hordeolum before and after treatment with hypochlorous acid eyelid wipes to understand how this treatment works.
  • The study involved eight patients, collecting samples before and after a week of using eyelid wipes, and used advanced sequencing to compare microbial flora in both groups.
  • Results showed no significant differences in overall microbial diversity at the phylum level, but distinct changes in microbial communities emerged at the class level after treatment, indicating that eyelid cleaning affects the microbial makeup without altering overall biodiversity.

Background And Purpose: Endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) has been suggested as a therapeutic target for vascular protection against ischaemic brain injury. However, the molecular entity of EDHF and its action on neurons remains unclear. This study was undertaken to demonstrate whether the hydrogen sulfide (H S) acts as EDHF and exerts neuroprotective effect via large-conductance Ca -activated K (BK /K 1.

To realize the high-efficiency and high-performance manufacture of complex high-web panels, this paper introduced electric pulse current (EPC) into the stress relaxation aging forming process of 2219 aluminum alloy and systematically studied the effects of EPC, stress, and aging time upon the microstructure and properties of 2219 aluminum alloy. It is discovered that: (a) EPC greatly enhanced the mechanical properties after stress relaxation aging and reduced the sensitivity of the yield strength for the initial stress under the aging system of 165 °C/11 h; (b) compared with general aging, stress relaxation aging instead delayed the aging process of 2219 aluminum alloy and greatly increased the peak strength value;
