Objective: Hypertension is a major risk factor for the type B aortic dissection (TBAD), while many patients do not manage or regulate their hypertension consistently, leading to stable or unstable hypertension. Currently, the effects of stable and unstable hypertension on the biomechanical properties of the aorta remain unclear. The objective was to identify a blood pressure state that represents a greater risk for TBAD development.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFSurrogate optimisation holds a big promise for building energy optimisation studies due to its goal to replace the use of lengthy building energy simulations within an optimisation step with expendable local surrogate models that can quickly predict simulation results. To be useful for such purpose, it should be possible to quickly train precise surrogate models from a small number of simulation results (10-100) obtained from appropriately sampled points in the desired part of the design space. Two sampling methods and two machine learning models are compared here.

Background: With the rapid expansion of the generative AI market, conducting in-depth research on cognitive conflicts in human-computer interaction is crucial for optimizing user experience and improving the quality of interactions with AI systems. However, existing studies insufficiently explore the role of user cognitive conflicts and the explanation of stance attribution in the design of human-computer interactions.
Methods: This research, grounded in mental models theory and employing an improved version of the oddball paradigm, utilizes Event-Related Spectral Perturbations (ERSP) and functional connectivity analysis to reveal how task types and stance attribution explanations in generative AI influence users' unconscious cognitive processing mechanisms during service failures.

Radical-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are among the most effective technologies employed to destroy organic pollutants. Compared to common inorganic radicals, such as OH, O, and SO, organic radicals are widespread, and more selective, but are easily overlooked. Furthermore, a systematic understanding of the generation and contributions of organic radicals remains lacking.

Herein, an N-coordinated Fe site dispersed in porous carbon frameworks (Fe-NC) fabricated from zeolitic imidazolate frameworks encapsulated with iron acetylacetonate (Fe(acac) @ZIFs) was employed to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the attenuation of sulfisoxazole (SIZ) and treating real hospital wastewater. The constructed Fe-NC/PMS system exhibited good catalytic stability for SIZ degradation, maintaining excellent degradation performance over multiple cycles with virtually no leaching. The quenching experiments, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) capture analyses, and semi-quantitative measurements showed that singlet oxygen (O) and high-valent metal-oxo species were mainly responsible for SIZ degradation by Fe-NC/PMS.

The development of numerous diseases, such as renal cyst, cancer, and viral infection, is closely associated with the pathological changes and defects in the cellular peripheral brush. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a potential new method to detect lesions of cellular peripheral brush. Here, a piecewise linear viscoelastic constitutive model of cell is established considering the joint contribution of the peripheral brush and intra-cellular structure.

To enhance the service life of traditional asphalt pavement and mitigate issues such as high-temperature rutting and low-temperature cracking, this study investigates the composite modification of matrix asphalt using thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). Initially, the study examines the conventional properties of the composite-modified asphalt from a macro perspective, analyzing the performance variations of asphalt before and after TPU and SBR modification. Subsequently, microscopic analysis is conducted to explore the microstructure, phase structure, and modification mechanisms of the composite-modified asphalt, with a focus on understanding the underlying reasons for performance changes.

China's staple crops face heavy metal (HMs) contamination, a widespread issue lacking a national assessment. We used machine learning (ML) to assess risks of 8 HMs in rice, wheat, and maize, and estimated a financing strategy for soil remediation via linear optimization and computable general equilibrium (CGE). The accumulation of HMs in crops depends on Soil-HMs, climate, soil properties, and crop types.

Understanding aerodynamic entrainment, a critical process in wind-blown sand dynamics, remains challenging due to the difficulty of isolating it from other mechanisms, such as impact entrainment. Aerodynamic entrainment initiates the movement of surface particles, influencing large-scale processes like sediment transport and dune formation. Previous studies focused on average aerodynamic shear stress to estimate entrainment, but the role of impulse events, which cause significant shear stress fluctuations, remains under-explored.

Replacing cement with lithium slag and fine aggregate with rubber in concrete solves waste disposal, reduces material consumption, boosts sustainability, and enhances concrete performance. A set of prismatic concrete specimens with varying proportions were designed and experimentally tested in order to study the compressive stress-strain behavior of lithium slag rubber concrete (LSRC). The main factors affecting the specimens were lithium slag substitution ratio (S=0%, 10%, 20%, 30%) and rubber substitution ratio (S=0%, 5%, 10%, 15%).

Achieving high-gravity fermentation in the industrial production of fuel ethanol, and enhancing the fermentation efficiency of high-salt raw materials, such as waste molasses, can significantly reduce wastewater output and process costs. Therefore, the development of hyperosmotic-tolerant industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, capable of resisting high-salt stress, offers both environmental and economic benefits. Our previous study highlighted the potential of CRZ1 overexpression as a strategy to improve the yeast strain's resistance to high-salt stress, however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unexplored.
