Article Abstract

Batch effects are unwanted data variations that may obscure biological signals, leading to bias or errors in subsequent data analyses. Effective evaluation and elimination of batch effects are necessary for omics data analysis. In order to facilitate the evaluation and correction of batch effects, here we present BatchSever, an open-source R/Shiny based user-friendly interactive graphical web platform for batch effects analysis. In BatchServer, we introduced autoComBat, a modified version of ComBat, which is the most widely adopted tool for batch effect correction. BatchServer uses PVCA (Principal Variance Component Analysis) and UMAP (Manifold Approximation and Projection) for evaluation and visualization of batch effects. We demonstrate its applications in multiple proteomics and transcriptomic data sets. BatchServer is provided at https://lifeinfor.shinyapps.io/batchserver/ as a web server. The source codes are freely available at https://github.com/guomics-lab/batch_server.

We present UniFORM, a non-parametric, Python-based pipeline for normalizing multiplex tissue imaging (MTI) data at both the feature and pixel levels. UniFORM employs an automated rigid landmark registration method tailored to the distributional characteristics of MTI, with UniFORM operating without prior distributional assumptions and handling both unimodal and bimodal patterns. By aligning the biologically invariant negative populations, UniFORM removes technical variation while preserving tissue-specific expression patterns in positive populations.

Accurate prediction of time-varying dynamic parameters during the milling process is a prerequisite for chatter-free cutting of thin-walled parts. In this paper, a matrix iterative prediction method based on weighted parameters is proposed for the time-varying structural modes during the milling of thin-walled blade structures. The thin-walled blade finite element model is established based on the 4-node plate element, and the time-varying dynamic parameters of the workpiece during the cutting process can be obtained by modifying the thickness of the nodes through the constructed mesh element finite element model It is not necessary to re-divide the mesh elements of the thin-walled parts at each cutting position, thus improving the calculation efficiency of the dynamic parameters of the workpiece.

Treatment of seeds with cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAPP) is in its proof-of-concept phase with regard to its effect on germination and plant growth. To increase the germination of hardseeded red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), seeds are usually scarified, which is time-consuming and labour-intensive.

Distinctive polymer brushes (PBs) play a crucial role in providing a nonpreferential (neutral) surface for vertical orientation of block copolymers (BCPs). This bottom-up approach effectively aligns the formation of vertical lamellar and cylinder lattice structures from the BCP, which is crucial for nanopatterning and other applications. In conventional BCP self-assembly techniques, random copolymer brushes are commonly employed to achieve substrate neutrality.

(GR) is primarily produced in Laiyang and Chifeng. It is a functional food with therapeutic and health-promoting effects due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the current standards only stipulate authentication criteria, without establishing a comprehensive evaluation framework to systematically enhance the quality control of GR.
