Article Abstract

A total of 3696 Ixodid ticks, collected from Hebei Province, China, were examined by a nested polymerase chain reaction for the presence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Forty-three (15.4%) of 280 pools tested, including 39 (14.6%) of 267 Haemaphysalis longicornis and four (30.8%) of 13 Dermacentor nuttalli, were positive, but no significant difference was found between D. nuttalli and H. longicornis (p>0.05). Sequence and phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene indicated that A. phagocytophilum in China is genetically diverse. To our knowledge, this is the first evidence of A. phagocytophilum in ticks from Hebei Province, China, and the first documentation of Anaplasma infection in D. nuttalli.

Groundwater nitrate (NO) and sulfate (SO) pollution in semi-arid regions has attracted widespread attention. However, unveiling the dynamics and sources of NO and SO in regional groundwater is challenging because of complex anthropogenic activities and hydrogeological conditions. This study combined physicochemistry and multiple stable isotopes (δH-HO, δO-HO, δN-NO, δO-NO, δS-SO, and δO-SO) to explore the spatiotemporal patterns, driving factors, sources, and potential health hazards of NO and SO in groundwater on the Loess Plateau, China.

Neuromorphic Visual Devices hold considerable promise for integration into neuromorphic vision systems that combine sensing, memory, and computing. This potential arises from their synergistic benefits in optical signal detection and neuro-inspired computational processes. However, current devices face challenges such as insufficient light/dark resistance ratios, mismatched transient photo-response, and volatile retention characteristics, limiting their adaptability to complex artificial vision systems.

Increasing evidences show the significance of low melting entropy in glass formation of substances. Our previous studies have uncovered the strong dependence between melting entropy in the eutectic mixtures and mixing enthalpy, which has been serving as an important reference for glass formation, showing that negative mixing enthalpy largely reduces the melting entropy. In this paper, we focused on the question as to how melting entropy is associated with another classical glass formation criterion of molecule/atom size difference of components.
