Water-presence dependent switchable ferroelectricity was discovered in the hybrid organic-inorganic zinc oxalate 1D coordination polymer (DABCOH2)[Zn(C2O4)2]·3H2O (DZnOH, where DABCOH2: diprotonated 1.4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane). The compound undergoes a reversible para-ferroelectric phase transition at 207 K from room temperature centrosymmetric phase I (space group P21/n) to low-temperature non-centrosymmetric phase II (space group P21). The microscopic mechanism of the phase transition is directly associated with the reconstruction of the hydrogen-bond network. On heating, the crystals exhibit a reversible single-crystal to single-crystal transformation concerned with the removal of all water molecules giving anhydrous DABCO zinc oxalate (DABCOH2)[Zn(C2O4)2] (DZnO). The dehydrated compound does not show ferroelectric properties.

Genetic alterations play a pivotal role in leukemic clonal transformation, significantly influencing disease pathogenesis and clinical outcomes. Here, we report a novel fusion gene and investigate its pathogenic role in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We engineer a transposon transfection system expressing the TOP2B::AFF2 transcript and introduce it into Ba/F3 cells.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma is a prevalent urological malignancy, imposing substantial burdens on both patients and society. In our study, we used bioinformatics methods to select four putative target genes associated with EMT and prognosis and developed a nomogram model which could accurately predicting 5-year patient survival rates. We further analyzed proteome and single-cell data and selected PLCG2 and TMEM38A for the following experiments.

Accurate and rapid segmentation of key parts of frozen tuna, along with precise pose estimation, is crucial for automated processing. However, challenges such as size differences and indistinct features of tuna parts, as well as the complexity of determining fish poses in multi-fish scenarios, hinder this process. To address these issues, this paper introduces TunaVision, a vision model based on YOLOv8 designed for automated tuna processing.

This study employed large eddy simulation (LES) with the wall-adapting local eddy-viscosity (WALE) model to investigate transitional flow characteristics in an idealized model of a healthy thoracic aorta. The OpenFOAM solver pimpleFoam was used to simulate blood flow as an incompressible Newtonian fluid, with the aortic walls treated as rigid boundaries. Simulations were conducted for 30 cardiac cycles and ensemble averaging was employed to ensure statistically reliable results.

Phase transitions in the mantle control its internal dynamics and structure. The post-spinel transition marks the upper-lower mantle boundary, where ringwoodite dissociates into bridgmanite plus ferropericlase, and its Clapeyron slope regulates mantle flow across it. This interaction has previously been assumed to have no lateral spatial variations, based on the assumption of a linear post-spinel boundary in pressure and temperature.
