The accuracy and noninvasive nature of the doubly labeled water (DLW) method makes it ideal for the study of human energy metabolism in free-living conditions. However, the DLW method is not always practical in many developing and Asian countries because of the high costs of isotopes and equipment for isotope analysis as well as the expertise required for analysis. This review provides information about the theoretical background and practical aspects of the DLW method, including optimal dose, basic protocols of two- and multiple-point approaches, experimental procedures, and isotopic analysis. We also introduce applications of DLW data, such as determining the equations of estimated energy requirement and validation studies of energy intake.

Intelligent stimuli-responsive actuators that can convert environmental energies into mechanical works have garnered significant research interests. Among different actuation principles, Marangoni effect is distinguished due to simplicity, high efficiency, remote manipulation, and water environment adaptability. Nevertheless, both chemical and physical Marangoni actuators face their own challenges with respect to limited chemical loading, precise light illumination, and relatively poor motion controllability.

Background: Approximately half of the patients with acute ischemic stroke who receive intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) do not achieve an excellent outcome. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) as a promising neuroprotective treatment may improve clinical outcomes in this population. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of RIC in patients with IVT.

Article Synopsis
- The accuracy of fabric texture identification is essential for automating knitted garment production and ensuring quality control, but traditional manual methods are inefficient and subjective.
- To improve this, a new model called DLW-DenseNet is introduced, enhancing the DenseNet architecture with a learnable weight mechanism and differentiated learning strategy to optimize channel selection and reduce redundancy.
- Additionally, a new dataset named KF9 for knitted fabrics has been created, and DLW-DenseNet has demonstrated a five-percentage-point increase in recognition accuracy compared to improved ResNet methods, proving its superiority in fabric texture recognition.
