With the rapid advancement of deep learning technology, deep learning-based methods have become the mainstream approach for detecting potential safety hazards in transmission lines, playing a crucial role in power grid safety monitoring. However, existing models are often overly complex and struggle with detecting small or occluded targets, limiting their effectiveness in edge-device deployment and real-time detection scenarios enhanced the YOLOv11 model by integrating it with the ConvNeXt network, a multi-level cross-domain analysis detection model (ConvNeXt-You Only Look Once) is proposed. Additionally, Bayesian optimization was employed to fine-tune the model's hyperparameters and accelerate convergence.

The electrocatalytic activity of perovskite oxides is fundamentally governed by their electronic structure. However, a deeper understanding of the relationship between the e electron occupancy and high-temperature oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance in solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) remains underexplored. Here, A-site doped PrAeFeO (Ae = Ca, Sr, Ba) are constructed with exceptional high-temperature OER performance, and PrBaFeO achieves a current density of 3.

The progress of 3D instance segmentation techniques has made it essential for several applications, such as augmented reality, autonomous driving, and robotics. Traditional methods usually have challenges with complex indoor scenes made of multiple objects with different occlusions and orientations. In this work, the authors present an innovative model that integrates a new adaptive n-shifted shuffle (ANSS) attention mechanism with the Generalized Hough Transform (GHT) for robust 3D instance segmentation of indoor scenes.

During the high-temperature oxygen evolution reaction for CO electrolysis in solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs), the key elementary process of O transfer is restricted by the high anodic oxygen pressure thermodynamically, thus requiring a high external voltage [open-circuit voltage (OCV)] to drive the electrolysis reaction. Herein, electrochemical CH reforming is introduced to the SOEC anode, which remarkably lowers the anodic oxygen pressure and OCV, finally reducing the energy demand from 3.12 to 0.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by systemic polyarticular pain, and its main pathological features include inflammatory cell infiltration, synovial fibroblast proliferation, and cartilage erosion. Immune cells, synovial cells and neuroendocrine factors play pivotal roles in the pathophysiological mechanism underlying rheumatoid arthritis. Biological clock genes regulate immune cell functions, which is linked to rhythmic changes in arthritis pathology.

Cathodic CO adsorption and activation is essential for high-temperature CO electrolysis in solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs). However, the component of oxygen ionic conductor in the cathode displays limited electrocatalytic activity. Herein, stable single Ruthenium (Ru) atoms are anchored on the surface of oxygen ionic conductor (Ce Sm O , SDC) via the strong covalent metal-support interaction, which evidently modifies the electronic structure of SDC surface for favorable oxygen vacancy formation and enhanced CO adsorption and activation, finally evoking the electrocatalytic activity of SDC for high-temperature CO electrolysis.

African Americans have a significantly higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease, especially focal segmental glomerulosclerosis -, than European Americans. Two coding variants (G1 and G2) in the APOL1 gene play a major role in this disparity. While 13% of African Americans carry the high-risk recessive genotypes, only a fraction of these individuals develops FSGS or kidney failure, indicating the involvement of additional disease modifiers.

Perovskites exhibit excellent high-temperature oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activities as the anodes of solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs). However, the relationship between ion ordering and OER performances is rarely investigated. Herein, a series of PrBaCo Fe O perovskites with tailored ion orderings are constructed.

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) play an important role in the initiation and development of liver fibrogenesis, and abnormal glucose metabolism is increasingly being considered a crucial factor controlling phenotypic transformation in HSCs. However, the role of the factors affecting glycolysis in HSCs in the experimental models of liver fibrosis has not been completely elucidated. In this study, we showed that glycolysis was significantly enhanced, while the expression of brain and muscle arnt-like protein-1 (Bmal1) was downregulated in fibrotic liver tissues of mice, primary HSCs, and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-induced LX2 cells.

Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane (ODE) is limited by the facile deep oxidation and potential safety hazards. Now, electrochemical ODE reaction is incorporated into the anode of a solid oxide electrolysis cell, utilizing the oxygen species generated at anode to catalytically convert ethane. By infiltrating γ-Al O onto the surface of La Sr Co Fe O -Sm Ce O (LSCF-SDC) anode, the ethylene selectivity reaches as high as 92.

The tumor suppressor protein p53 is a central governor of various cellular signals. It is well accepted that ubiquitination as well as ubiquitin-like (UBL) modifications of p53 protein is critical in the control of its activity. Interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) is a well-known UBL protein with pleiotropic functions, serving both as a free intracellular molecule and as a modifier by conjugating to target proteins.

During the liver fibrosis recovery stage tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) can effectively induce apoptosis of activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Normal hepatic stellate cells are resistant to TRAIL cytotoxicity. Therefore, enhancing the sensitivity of TRAIL-induced apoptosis of HSCs may be useful to treat hepatic fibrogenesis.
