[The distribution of musk and river deer in local chronicles in Guizhou].

Some information and records about musk (She, ) and river deer (Zhang, /) can be found in local chronicles or documents in Guizhou. They were taken as the same species in terms of a medicinal animal. The records for their living areas in Guizhou were neither clear nor in detail in the Ming Dynasty, but were specific in the Qing Dynasty and more concise in the period of the Republic of China.

[Analysis on Change in Soil Organic Carbon Content of Farmland in Yangtze River Economic Belt Under Different Fertilizing Measures].

The literature from a long-term fertilization experiment in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from January 1992 to May 2022 was collected, and the data of farmland soil organic carbon were extracted and integrated. Using the normalization treatment and the analysis method of relative annual variation, the overall change in soil organic carbon content in farmland in the Yangtze River Economic Belt under different long-term fertilization measures was studied, and the change differences of soil organic carbon content under three tillage modes were compared so as to judge and analyze the influence of the duration of the experiment on soil organic carbon dynamics. The results showed that under different long-term fertilization measures, the organic carbon content of farmland soil in the Yangtze River Economic Belt in China showed an overall upward trend.

Successful Fabrication of Hydrophobic Surfaces of Microstructures Cooperating with Solid-Liquid Nanomaterials on the CuZnPb Alloy Substrate.

For protecting the exquisite structural patterns of such coins, developments of simple preparation methods were explored to achieve good hydrophobic capability and the wear-damage resistance of CuZnPb surfaces. A self-cleaning nanoliquid (SN) was combined with microstructured Ag-dispersed CuZnPb (MAC) to realize good hydrophobicity functions of the SNMAC. This was because the cooperative functions of silver and the SN enhanced the water reunion ability and increased solid-liquid-gas contact areas, leading to high contact angles of SNMAC.

Synergistic Reduction of Arsenic Uptake and Alleviation of Leaf Arsenic Toxicity in Maize ( L.) by Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) and Exogenous Iron through Antioxidant Activity.

CdSe@CdS quantum dot-sensitized Au/α-FeO structure for photoelectrochemical detection of circulating tumor cells.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are the important biomarker for cancer diagnosis and individualized treatment. However, due to the extreme rarity of CTCs (only 1-10 CTCs are found in every milliliter of peripheral blood) high sensitivity and selectivity are urgently needed for CTC detection. Here, a sandwich PEC cytosensor for the ultrasensitive detection of CTCs was developed using the photoactive material Au NP/-FeO and core-shell CdSe@CdS QD sensitizer.

College Students' Preferences for Milk Tea: Results from a Choice Experiment.

(1) Background: Although China is one of the largest tea-producing countries in the world, the Chinese tea industry is facing a decline in profits. However, an explosive market, namely milk tea, has garnered the attention of certain famous tea companies, several of which have launched milk tea products through sub-branding or co-branding. However, there is a scarce amount of literature on consumers' attitudes toward these marketing strategies of the milk tea market.

Mechanism of action of non-coding RNAs and traditional Chinese medicine in myocardial fibrosis: Focus on the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway.

Cardiac fibrosis is a serious public health problem worldwide that is closely linked to progression of many cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and adversely affects both the disease process and clinical prognosis. Numerous studies have shown that the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway plays a key role in the progression of cardiac fibrosis. Therefore, targeted inhibition of the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway may be a therapeutic measure for cardiac fibrosis.

Quantitative relationships between national cultures and the increase in cases of novel coronavirus pneumonia.

Support vector machine (SVM) and genetic algorithm were successfully used to predict the changes in the prevalence rate (ΔPR) measured by the increase of reported cases per million population from the 16th to the 45th day during a nation's lockdown after the COVID-19 outbreak. The national cultural indices [individualism-collectivism (Ind), tightness-looseness (Tight)], and the number of people per square kilometer (Pop_density) were used to develop the SVM model of lnΔPR. The SVM model has R of 0.

Long-term assessment on performance and seasonal optimal operation of a full-scale integrated multiple constructed wetland-pond system.

Constructed wetlands as natural process-based water treatment technologies are popular globally. However, lack of detailed long-term assessment on the impact of seasonal variations on their performance with focus on optimal seasonal adjustments of controllable operating parameters significantly limits their efficient and sustainable long-term operation. To address this, a full-scale integrated multiple surface flow constructed wetlands-pond system situated between slightly polluted river water and outflow-receiving waterworks in a subtropical monsoon climate area of middle-eastern China was seasonally assessed over a period of six years.
