Octopus Tentacle-Inspired In-Sensor Adaptive Integral for Edge-Intelligent Touch Intention Recognition.

Electronics continue to drive technological innovation and diversified applications. To ensure efficiency and effectiveness across various interactive contexts, the ability to adjust operating functions or parameters according to environmental shifts or user requirements is highly desirable. However, due to the inherent limitations of nonadaptive device structures and materials, the current development of touch electronics faces challenges, e.

Nerve-Inspired Optical Waveguide Stretchable Sensor Fusing Wireless Transmission and AI Enabling Smart Tele-Healthcare.

Flexible strain monitoring of hand and joint muscle movement is recognized as an effective method for the diagnosis and rehabilitation of neurological diseases such as stroke and Parkinson's disease. However, balancing high sensitivity and large strain, improving wearing comfort, and solving the separation of diagnosis and treatment are important challenges for further building tele-healthcare systems. Herein, a hydrogel-based optical waveguide stretchable (HOWS) sensor is proposed in this paper.

In-Sensor Tactile Fusion and Logic for Accurate Intention Recognition.

Touch control intention recognition is an important direction for the future development of human-machine interactions (HMIs). However, the implementation of parallel-sensing functional modules generally requires a combination of different logical blocks and control circuits, which results in regional redundancy, redundant data, and low efficiency. Here, a location-and-pressure intelligent tactile sensor (LPI tactile sensor) unprecedentedly combined with sensing, computing, and logic is proposed, enabling efficient and ultrahigh-resolution action-intention interaction.

Genome-wide association analysis of Fusarium crown rot resistance in Chinese wheat landraces.

A novel locus for Fusarium crown rot (FCR) resistance was identified on chromosome 1B at 641.36-645.13 Mb using GWAS and could averagely increase 39.

Fine mapping of the tiller inhibition gene TIN4 contributing to ideal plant architecture in common wheat.

A tiller inhibition gene, TIN4, was mapped to an approximately 311 kb genomic interval on chromosome arm 2DL of wheat. The tiller is one of the key components of plant morphological architecture and a central agronomic trait affecting spike number in wheat. Low tiller number has been proposed as a major component of crop ideotypes for high yield potential.

Multi-Locus Genome-Wide Association Study of Four Yield-Related Traits in Chinese Wheat Landraces.

Wheat ( L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Here, four yield-related traits, namely, spike length, spikelets number, tillers number, and thousand-kernel weight, were evaluated in 272 Chinese wheat landraces in multiple environments.

Genome-Wide Association Study of Kernel Traits in .

is the diploid progenitor of the D subgenome of hexaploid wheat (ivum L.). Here, the phenotypic data of kernel length (KL), kernel width (KW), kernel volume (KV), kernel surface area (KSA), kernel width to length ratio (KWL), and hundred-kernel weight (HKW) for 223 accessions were gathered across three continuous years.

Reusable membrane with multifunctional skin layer for effective removal of insoluble emulsified oils and soluble dyes.

The organic pollutants, typical of emulsified oils and soluble organic dyes, is commonly found in wastewater, however simultaneous removal of them remains challenging because of their difference in surface charge, molecule size, and solubility in water. Inspired by the water purification of the earth's multilayer strata, a fibrous membrane with multifunctional skin is fabricated by coupling sub-micrometer pores layer of polyaniline (PANI) and nano molecular brush of polyacrylic acid (PAA)/polyethyleneimine (PEI) on polyacrylonitrile membrane, for cross-scale organic pollution/water separation. This ultrathin skin of PANI/PAA/PEI is endowed with sub-micrometer pores and strong hydration, which can effectively prevent tiny oil droplets from entering or adhering the membrane pores.

Bioinspired Anti-Oil-Fouling Hierarchical Structured Membranes Decorated with Urchin-Like α-FeOOH Particles for Efficient Oil/Water Mixture and Crude Oil-in-Water Emulsion Separation.

Designing and constructing a stable water-retention layer acting as the isolation between the oil and membrane surface holds great significance for solving the membrane fouling problems in oil/water separation, including common layered oil/water mixtures, immiscible oil-in-water emulsions, and even high-viscosity crude oil-in-water emulsions. Inspired by the self-cleaning property of sea urchin thorns, a bioinspired anti-oil-fouling hierarchically structured membranes decorated with urchin-like α-FeOOH particles was successfully prepared via the layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly method, maintaining numerous effective micro-nanopores. The hierarchical structured membrane exhibited superior superhydrophilicity/underwater superoleophobicity, high water-retention ability, and preferable anti-oil-fouling properties.

SSRMMD: A Rapid and Accurate Algorithm for Mining SSR Feature Loci and Candidate Polymorphic SSRs Based on Assembled Sequences.

Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are short tandem repeats of DNA widespread in genomes and transcriptomes of diverse organisms and are used in various genetic studies. Few software programs that mine SSRs can be further used to mine polymorphic SSRs, and these programs have poor portability, have slow computational speed, are highly dependent on other programs, and have low marker development rates. In this study, we develop an algorithm named Simple Sequence Repeat Molecular Marker Developer (SSRMMD), which uses improved regular expressions to rapidly and exhaustively mine perfect SSR loci from any size of assembled sequence.

Comprehensive transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics analyses of the mechanisms regulating tiller production in low-tillering wheat.

Tiller development in low-tillering wheat is related to several differentially expressed genes, proteins, and metabolites, as determined by an integrated omics approach combining transcriptome analysis, iTRAQ, and HPLC-MS on multiple NILs. Tillering is an important aspect of plant morphology that affects spike number, thereby contributing to the final crop yield. However, the mechanisms inhibiting tiller production in low-tillering wheat are poorly characterized.
