Antennary oligoglycines are synthetic products, obtained as a result of preliminary molecular design. Equal-length antennae are built of glycine residues joined through the C end to an oligoamine branching core with an amine group at the N terminus exposed outside. The results of systematic research on the properties of aqueous solutions containing two-antennary oligoglycine with four glycine portions are reported. The central feature is the competition between amphiphilic self-assembly and formation of polyglycine II motifs. A combined procedure is developed to characterize bulk and interfacial structures and coatings. It includes registration of bulk aggregates, examination of interfacial layers at solution/air and solution/solid boundaries, drainage, and stability of liquid films. The obtained results provide new insight into the structure-property relationships in these smart fluids and give essential hints about key factors allied to possible applications in medicine, pharmaceuticals, and environmental protection.

The increasing dependence on cloud computing as a cornerstone of modern technological infrastructures has introduced significant challenges in resource management. Traditional load-balancing techniques often prove inadequate in addressing cloud environments' dynamic and complex nature, resulting in suboptimal resource utilization and heightened operational costs. This paper presents a novel smart load-balancing strategy incorporating advanced techniques to mitigate these limitations.

The post-weaning period is stressful for pigs due to changes in their environment and diet. The occurrence of diarrhea at this stage is high. Growth promoters such as antibiotics and zinc oxide (ZnO) have been used to not only reduce post-weaning diarrhea but also improve growth performance of weaning pigs.

Introduction: Accurate identification of cherry maturity and precise detection of harvestable cherry contours are essential for the development of cherry-picking robots. However, occlusion, lighting variation, and blurriness in natural orchard environments present significant challenges for real-time semantic segmentation.
Methods: To address these issues, we propose a machine vision approach based on the PIDNet real-time semantic segmentation framework.

A series of molecular logic gates with multiple biocomputing capabilities have been successfully fabricated by using four antibiotic residues [tetracycline (TET), chloramphenicol (CHL), kanamycin (KAN), and streptomycin (STR)] as inputs. The lateral flow strip biosensor was utilized to realize the visual and portable sensing of logic events. Four basic logic gates (OR, AND, XOR, and INHIBIT) and three cascade logic circuits (OR-INHIBIT-AND, 3AND-OR, and XOR-INHIBIT-OR-AND) were constructed.

City plans are the product of integrating human creativity with emerging technologies, which continuously evolve and reshape urban morphology and environments. Here we argue that large language models hold large untapped potential in addressing the growing complexities of urban planning and enabling a more holistic, innovative and responsive approach to city design. By harnessing their advanced generation and simulation capabilities, large language models can contribute as an intelligent assistant for human planners in synthesizing conceptual ideas, generating urban designs and evaluating the outcomes of planning efforts.
