Study on the combustion characteristics of NH and hydrochar mixture using ReaxFF MD: Oxygen equivalence ratio, ammonia co-combustion ratio, and combustion environment.

Co-combustion of NH (ammonia) and hydrochar is a promising strategy to reduce fossil fuel usage and CO emissions. In this study, reactive molecular dynamics simulations (ReaxFF MD) were performed to investigate the effects of oxygen equivalence ratio (λ), ammonia co-combustion ratio, and combustion atmosphere on the combustion characteristics of the NH/hydrochar mixture. Firstly, Increasing the oxygen equivalence ratio from 0.

RTF: Recursive TransFusion for Multi-Modal Image Synthesis.

Multi-modal image synthesis is crucial for obtaining complete modalities due to the imaging restrictions in reality. Current methods, primarily CNN-based models, find it challenging to extract global representations because of local inductive bias, leading to synthetic structure deformation or color distortion. Despite the significant global representation ability of transformer in capturing long-range dependencies, its huge parameter size requires considerable training data.

Performance of 3D printing biomimetic conch shell and pearl shell hybrid design composites under quasi-static three-point bending load.

The failure process of biomimetic hybrid design composite composed of layers of conch shell and pearl shell was studied through quasi-static three-point bending experiments and numerical simulations. The biomimetic conch shell structure with inclined angles serves as the upper layer of the hybrid structure, while the biomimetic pearl shell structure with traditional brick and mud structure serves as the lower layer of the hybrid structure, forming a hybrid design structure. Four inclined angles were designed for the structural units of the conch shell, namely 15°, 30°, 45°, and 60°.

HuR deficiency abrogated the enhanced NLRP3 signaling in experimental ischemic stroke.

Human antigen R (HuR) is a universally expressed RNA-binding protein that plays an essential role in governing the fate of mRNA transcripts. Accumulating evidence indicated that HuR is involved in the development and functions of several cell types. However, its role in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (CIRI) remains unclear.

Ferroptosis sensitization in glioma: exploring the regulatory mechanism of SOAT1 and its therapeutic implications.

Glioma, the most common primary malignant tumor of the central nervous system, lacks effective targeted therapies. This study investigates the role of SOAT1, a key gene involved in cholesterol esterification, in glioma prognosis and its association with ferroptosis. Although the impact of SOAT1 on glioma prognosis has been recognized, its precise mechanism remains unclear.

Raman and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques for detection of coronavirus (COVID-19): a mini review.

Coronavirus pandemic has been a huge jeopardy to human health in various systems since it outbroke, early detection and prevention of further escalation has become a priority. The current popular approach is to collect samples using the nasopharyngeal swab method and then test for RNA using the real-time polymerase chain reaction, which suffers from false-positive results and a longer diagnostic time scale. Alternatively, various optical techniques, namely, optical sensing, spectroscopy, and imaging shows a great promise in virus detection.

One-pot and rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 viral particles in environment using SERS aptasensor based on a locking amplifier.

With the frequent detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in dwellings and wastewater, the risk of transmission of environmental contaminants is of great concern. Fast, simple and sensitive sensors are essential for timely detecting infection and controlling transmission through environment fomites. Herein, we developed a Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) aptasensor, which can realize ultrasensitive and rapid assay of SARS-CoV-2 viral particles.
