Bacterial-based cancer immunotherapy has recently gained widespread attention due to its exceptional mechanism of rich pathogen-associated molecular patterns in anti-cancer immune responses. Contrary to conventional cancer therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and phototherapy, bacteria-based cancer immunotherapy has the unique ability to suppress cancer by selectively accumulating and growing in tumours. In the view of this, several bacterial strains are being used for the treatment of cancer.

The development of antibacterial medications has recently been promoted due to the non- effective usage of antibiotics and the rise in severe bacterial infections. The effectiveness of antimicrobial therapy alternatives is constrained due to the prevalence of germs that are resistant to medications. Our current study's goal is to favor metallic compounds for antibiotic delivery in order to increase the effectiveness of the antibacterial regimen.

With the contemplations of ecological and environmental issues related to energy harvesting, piezoelectric nanogenerators (PNGs) may be an accessible, sustainable, and abundant elective wellspring of energy in the future. The PNGs' power output, however, is dependent on the mechanical energy input, which will be intermittent if the mechanical energy is not continuous. This is a fatal flaw for electronics that need continuous power.

Initial Performance Analysis of the At-Altitude Radiance Ratio Method for Reflectance Conversion of Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Data.

Sensors (Basel)

December 2022

Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Laboratory, Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science, College of Science, Rochester Institute of Technology, 54 Lomb Memorial Drive, Rochester, NY 14623, USA.

In remote sensing, the conversion of at-sensor radiance to surface reflectance for each pixel in a scene is an essential component of many analysis tasks. The empirical line method (ELM) is the most used technique among remote sensing practitioners due to its reliability and production of accurate reflectance measurements. However, the at-altitude radiance ratio (AARR), a more recently proposed methodology, is attractive as it allows reflectance conversion to be carried out in real time throughout data collection, does not require calibrated samples of pre-measured reflectance to be placed in scene, and can account for changes in illumination conditions.

Locomotion mode recognition provides the prosthesis control with the information on when to switch between different walking modes, whereas the gait phase detection indicates where we are in the gait cycle. But powered prostheses often implement a different control strategy for each locomotion mode to improve the functionality of the prosthesis. Existing studies employed several classical machine learning methods for locomotion mode recognition.

One-Pot Synthesis of N-Rich Porous Carbon for Efficient CO Adsorption Performance.

Molecules

October 2022

Key Laboratory of Urban Rail Transit Intelligent Operation and Maintenance Technology and Equipment of Zhejiang Province, College of Engineering, Zhejiang Normal University, Jinhua 321004, China.

N-enriched porous carbons have played an important part in CO adsorption application thanks to their abundant porosity, high stability and tailorable surface properties while still suffering from a non-efficient and high-cost synthesis method. Herein, a series of N-doped porous carbons were prepared by a facile one-pot KOH activating strategy from commercial urea formaldehyde resin (UF). The textural properties and nitrogen content of the N-doped carbons were carefully controlled by the activating temperature and KOH/UF mass ratios.
