Multi-Scale Contrastive Learning with Hierarchical Knowledge Synergy for Visible-Infrared Person Re-Identification.

Visible-infrared person re-identification (VI-ReID) is a challenging cross-modality retrieval task to match a person across different spectral camera views. Most existing works focus on learning shared feature representations from the final embedding space of advanced networks to alleviate modality differences between visible and infrared images. However, exclusively relying on high-level semantic information from the network's final layers can restrict shared feature representations and overlook the benefits of low-level details.

Based on LC-MS and network pharmacology, the quality components, and anti-hypertensive mechanisms of three types of tea were studied.

Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was used to identify and analyze the main components of Da Hong Pao, Zunyi black tea, and Yunnan Pu'er tea extracts, explore the effects of brewing times on chemical composition, and analyze the differential components using chemometrics. Subsequently, network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques were employed to explore the potential active ingredients and mechanisms of action in combating hypertension (HTN). This study identified eight key chemical constituents of the three teas, with significant differences in their contents.

Key candidate genes for male sterility in peppers unveiled via transcriptomic and proteomic analyses.

This study aimed to enhance the use of male sterility in pepper to select superior hybrid generations. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of fertile line 1933A and nucleic male sterility line 1933B of L. were performed to identify male sterility-related proteins and genes.

Genome-wide analysis of gene family in pepper ( L.).

Ovate family proteins (OFPs) are transcriptional inhibitors that regulate plant growth and development and play important roles in the synthesis of secondary cell walls during pollen development. This study identified the pepper gene family based on the genome-wide analysis and used bioinformatics methods to provide a fundamental profile of the gene family. 74 genes with typical Ovate domain were identified in cultivated pepper Zunla-1, wild pepper Chiltepin and CM334.

Effects of adding eubiotic lignocellulose on the performance, the gut microbiota, and short-chain fatty acids of layer chickens.

The eubiotic lignocellulose has to be proven a useful source of dietary fiber. Dietary fiber is broken down into monosaccharides and then is fermented into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) by gut microorganisms of chickens. However, research on impacts of it on the gut microbiota of chickens was limited.

Effect of Polyaniline and Graphene Oxide Modified Carbon Felt on Adsorption and Immobilization of .

Biological desulfurization plays an increasingly important role in desulfurization industry. A strain of ZJ-2 with high Fe oxidizing efficiency was in this study isolated and screened to remove hydrogen sulfide from biogas. To further improve its oxidation efficiency, ZJ-2 was immobilized using carbon felt (CF), modified with graphene oxide (GO) and polyaniline (PANI), as immobilized carrier.

Effects of Adding Eubiotic Lignocellulose on the Growth Performance, Laying Performance, Gut Microbiota, and Short-Chain Fatty Acids of Two Breeds of Hens.

Eubiotic lignocellulose is a new and useful dietary fiber source for chickens. However, few studies have been undertaken on the impacts of its use as a supplement in different chicken breeds. In this experiment, 108 Chinese native breed Bian hens (BH) and 108 commercial breed ISA Brown hens (IBH) were chosen.

Molecular Characterization and Expression Analysis of the Na/H Exchanger Gene Family in L.

The Na/H exchangers () are a class of transporters involved in ion balance during plant growth and abiotic stress. We performed systematic bioinformatic identification and expression-characteristic analysis of genes in pepper to provide a theoretical basis for pepper breeding and practical production. At the whole-genome level, the members of the gene family of cultivated and wild pepper were systematically identified using bioinformatics methods.

Homogenate-Ultrasound-Assisted Ionic Liquid Extraction of Total Flavonoids from : Process Optimization, Composition Identification, and Antioxidant Activity.

In this paper, an efficient approach to extract total flavonoids (TFs) from (Sw.) Spring using homogenate-ultrasound-assisted ionic liquid (IL) extraction (HUA-ILE) was first developed. The results indicated that EPyBF was selected as the suitable extractant.

Expression of IFN-λ1 from Congjiang pigs and its effect on anti-PRRSV proliferation.

An eukaryotic expression system of Congjiang pigs IFN-λ1 was constructed to obtain its expression in CHO-K1 cells and the inhibition effect of Congjiang pig IFN-λ1 on PRRSV proliferation was verified. The eukaryotic expression plasmid pEGFP-PoIFN-λ1 was constructed from the pig IFN-λ1 gene fragment and transfected into CHO-K1 cells. Expression was detected by fluorescence microscopy and Western blotting.

A new -containing phenolic glycoside from L.

A new -containing phenolic glycoside () and seven known compounds were isolated from the fruits of L. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods including MS, 1D and 2D NMR (HSQC, HMBC, H-H COSY, etc.).
