We propose and experimentally demonstrate a wireless-channel key distribution scheme based on laser synchronization induced by a common wireless random signal. Two semiconductor lasers are synchronized under injection of the drive signal after electrical-optical conversion and emit irregular outputs that are used to generate shared keys. Our proof-of-concept experiment using a complex drive signal achieved a secure key generation rate of up to 150 Mbit/s with a bit error rate below 3.8 × 10. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed scheme has the potential to achieve a distribution distance of several hundred meters. It is believed that common-signal-induced laser synchronization paves the way for high-speed wireless physical-layer key distribution.

In this study, a comprehensive genome-wide identification and analysis of the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) gene family was performed to explore the role of Gossypium hirsutumAKR40 under salt stress in cotton. A total of 249 AKR genes were identified with uneven distribution on the chromosomes in four cotton species. The diversity and evolutionary relationship of the cotton AKR gene family was identified using physio-chemical analysis, phylogenetic tree construction, conserved motif analysis, chromosomal localization, prediction of cis-acting elements, and calculation of evolutionary selection pressure under 300 mM NaCl stress.

Multivalent protein-protein interactions play essential roles in mediating liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) that drives biomolecular condensate formation. Here, we systematically investigate how the spatial distribution and relative size of protein binding domains (PBDs) would influence LLPS in a mixture of spherical proteins and RNA single strands by using a patchy-particle polymer model, wherein each protein contains a fixed number of PBDs on the surface distributed closely or sparsely. Intriguingly, we find that LLPS behavior exhibits a nontrivial dependence on the cooperative interplay between PBD distribution and protein size: while sparsely distributed PBDs are more favorable to LLPS for small proteins, closely packed PBDs facilitate LLPS for larger counterparts.

To characterize the bioaccessibility of inhaled organophosphate esters (OPEs) in the respiratory tract, we employed a highly idealized mouth-throat model to investigate the occurrence, distribution, and deposition of 17 OPEs in airborne particulate matter (PM, PM, and PM; = 80 pairs) and gas phases ( = 48) under gradient temperature and humidity. OPEs concentrations were also measured in exhaled breath condensate (EBC; = 50) and sputum ( = 30) from 30 adults. Total median ∑OPEs concentrations in inhaled air were 4.

Ginger, a globally cultivated spice and medicinal herb, is renowned for its health benefits and distinctive flavor. As ginger's main pungent and bioactive components, 6-gingerol and 6-shogaol share similar physicochemical properties and can be obtained by extraction from ginger or chemical synthesis. After oral ingestion, the biological fate of 6-gingerol and 6-shogaol are influenced by processes including absorption, biotransformation, distribution, and excretion.

To address the growing demand for temperature control precision and uniformity in wafer processing, a specialized electrostatic chuck temperature control system based on thermal control coatings is proposed, aiming to enhance thermal management robustness and homogeneity. This study employs a zoned control methodology using metal-oxide conductive coatings on silicon carbide wafer heating plates. A quadrant-based thermal control coating model was established, and finite element analysis was conducted to compare temperature distribution characteristics across three geometric configurations: sectorial, spiral, and zoned designs.
