Rare-Earth (R) In-Plane Ordering in Novel (Mo, R, Nb)AlC Quinary o-MAX Nanolaminates and their 2D Derivatives.

Nanolamellar transition metal carbides are gaining increasing attentions because of the promising application in energy storage of their 2D derivatives. There are in-plane and out-of-plane atomic ordered occupations, which is thought to only be formed in separated systems due to totally different origins and crystallographic structure. In present work, starting from (Mo, Nb)AlC o-MAX phase where out-of-plane ordered occupation is experimentally and theoretically proved for Mo/Nb atoms, rare-earth elements (R = Y, Gd-Tm, Lu) are introduced, and the novel Mo RNbAlC (x = 1, 1.

Experiments of Main Parameters Affecting the Erosive Behavior of Self-Excited Oscillating Abrasive Water Jets: Length of Self-Oscillation Chamber, Jet Pressure, Abrasive Fluid Velocity, and Abrasive Grain Size.

To enhance the erosion efficiency in traditional abrasive water jet processing, an abrasive water jet processing method based on self-excited fluid oscillation is proposed. Traditional abrasive water jet methods suffer from reduced jet kinetic energy due to the presence of a stagnation layer, which hinders efficient material removal. By integrating a self-oscillation chamber into the conventional abrasive water jet nozzle, the continuous jet is transformed into a pulsed jet, thereby increasing the jet velocity and enhancing the kinetic energy of the process.

Evaluating the Response of the Soil Bacterial Community and Lettuce Growth in a Fluorine and Cadmium Co-Contaminated Yellow Soil.

Proteomic and Phosphoproteomic analysis of thyroid papillary carcinoma: Identification of potential biomarkers for metastasis.

Thyroid cancer has emerged as the most rapidly proliferating solid neoplasm. In this study, we included a cohort of patients who underwent sonographic assessment and surgical intervention at the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, associated with the School of Medicine at Zhejiang University, spanning from January 2019 to June 2020. Stratification of cases was based on a combination of preoperative ultrasonographic evaluations and postoperative histopathological diagnoses, resulting in three distinct groups: high-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) labeled as C1, low-risk PTC designated as C2, and a control group (N) composed of benign thyroid tissue adjacent to the carcinoma.

Intron Retention of DDX39A Driven by SNRPD2 is a Crucial Splicing Axis for Oncogenic MYC/Spliceosome Program in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

NIR-II light therapy improves cognitive performance in MPTP induced Parkinson's disease rat models: A preliminary experimental study.

Cognitive impairment is an important component of non motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD), and if not addressed in a timely manner, it can easily progress to dementia. However, no effective method currently exists to completely prevent or reverse cognitive impairment associated with PD. We therefore aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of near-infrared region II light (NIR-II) region illumination on cognitive impairment in PD through behavioral experiments (water maze and rotary rod) and multiple fluorescence immunohistochemistry techniques.

Research progress on the effects of sodium-glucose linked transporter 2 inhibitors on multiple metabolic disorders in metabolic syndrome.

Metabolic syndrome is a complex group of metabolic disorders with an increasing global incidence rate, posing a serious threat to human health. Sodium-glucose linked transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new type of oral hypoglycemic drug. SGLT2 inhibitors not only lower blood glucose level in a non-insulin-dependent manner by inhibiting glucose reabsorption by renal proximal convoluted tubular epithelial cell to promote urinary glucose excretion, but also by improving islet β cell function, reducing inflammatory responses, and inhibiting oxidative stress.

Smart responsive hydrogel systems applied in bone tissue engineering.

The repair of irregular bone tissue suffers severe clinical problems due to the scarcity of an appropriate therapeutic carrier that can match dynamic and complex bone damage. Fortunately, stimuli-responsive hydrogel systems that are triggered by a special microenvironment could be an ideal method of regenerating bone tissue because of the injectability, gelatin, and spatiotemporally tunable drug release. Herein, we introduce the two main stimulus-response approaches, exogenous and endogenous, to forming hydrogels in bone tissue engineering.

Top of tide: Nexus between organization agility, digital capability and top management support in SME digital transformation.

In the swiftly evolving business landscape, digital transformation (DT) has emerged as a crucial strategy for firms to gain a competitive edge. Despite the abundance of literature on DT in firms, there remains a dearth of empirical research that defines and analyzes crucial antecedents of small and medium-sized enterprises' (SMEs) DT from an internal perspective. To fill this research gap, this study examines the correlation between organizational agility and digital capability in cultivating SMEs' DT while also evaluating top management support as a moderating variable through the lens of internal factors of SMEs.
