Electrochemical Synchronous detection of cadmium (Cd(II)) and lead (Pb(II)) was obtained by acid treated multiwalled carbon nanotube (A-MWCNT) functionalized with hyaluronic acid (Hyalu) and this mixture was separately further modified with l-cysteine (l-Cys) and l-serine (l-Ser). Under the optimized circumstance best voltammetric responses were produced by A-MWCNT/Hyalu/l-Cys and A-MWCNT/Hyalu/l-Ser modified electrodes. The peak current was linearly dependent on the Cd(II) and Pb(II) concentrations in the range from 0.4 to 4 µg L. The sensitivities were calculated as 0.7 µA/nM (Cd(II)) and 3.5 µA/nM (Pb(II)) for A-MWCNT/Hyalu/l-Cys/GCE and 0.6 µA/nM (Cd(II)) and 2.6 µA/nM (Pb(II)) for A-MWCNT/Hyalu/l-Ser/GCE. From the calibration plot LODs were calculated to be 0.032 µg L (Cd(II)) and 0.015 µg L (Pb(II)) for A-MWCNT/Hyalu/l-Cys/GCE and 0.057 µg L (Cd(II)) and 0.034 µg L (Pb(II)) for A-MWCNT/Hyalu/l-Ser/GCE. Moreover, the proposed electrodes were subjected to the real sample application in honey, cocos nucifera and egg white.

Objective and continuous monitoring of Parkinson's disease (PD) tremor in free-living conditions could benefit both individual patient care and clinical trials, by overcoming the snapshot nature of clinical assessments. To enable robust detection of tremor in the context of limited amounts of labeled training data, we propose to use prototypical networks, which can embed domain expertise about the heterogeneous tremor and non-tremor sub-classes. We evaluated our approach using data from the Parkinson@Home Validation study, including 8 PD patients with tremor, 16 PD patients without tremor, and 24 age-matched controls.

In recent years, mobile laser measurement systems have markedly enhanced the capabilities of deformation detection and defect identification within metro tunnels, attributed to their superior efficiency, precision, and versatility. Nevertheless, challenges persist, including substantial equipment costs, inadequate after-sales support, technological barriers, and limitations in customization. This paper develops a mobile laser measurement system that has been specifically developed for the purpose of detecting deformation in metro tunnels.

The growing demand for high-speed data transfer and ultralow latency in wireless networks-on-chips (WiNoC) has spurred exploration into innovative communication paradigms. Recent advancements highlight the potential of the terahertz (THz) band, a largely untapped frequency range, for enabling ultrafast tera-bit-per-second links in chip multiprocessors. However, the ultrashort duration of THz pulses, often in the femtosecond range, makes synchronization a critical challenge, as even minor timing errors can cause significant data loss.

Reconfigurable processor-based acceleration of deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) algorithms has emerged as a widely adopted technique, with particular attention on sparse neural network acceleration as an active research area. However, many computing devices that claim high computational power still struggle to execute neural network algorithms with optimal efficiency, low latency, and minimal power consumption. Consequently, there remains significant potential for further exploration into improving the efficiency, latency, and power consumption of neural network accelerators across diverse computational scenarios.

Guanidinoacetic acid (GAA), a precursor of creatine, has a recognized effect on ruminant performance when used as a dietary supplement. However, its impact on reproductive response remains to be elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to contribute initially to this area by supplementing the diets of ewes with a high dose of GAA, evaluating its effects on reproductive response.
