Hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) is a common infectious disease in children and is particularly severe in Guangxi, China. Meteorological conditions are known to play a pivotal role in the HFMD. Previous studies have reported numerous models to predict the incidence of HFMD. In this study, we proposed ...

Manipulations of multiple carrier frequencies are especially important in a variety of fields like radar detection and wireless communications. In conventional radio-frequency architecture, the multi-frequency control is implemented by microwave circuits, which are hard to integrate with antenna ape...

Metasurfaces have developed rapidly in the past decade because their customizable properties are able to regulate wave-matter interaction over a subwavelength scale. Recently, the space-time modulated metasurfaces have attracted significant attention for the additional degree of freedom they offer i...

Paeoniflorin (PF), isolated from paeony root, has been used as a herbal medicine for more than 1,200 years in China, Korea, and Japan for its anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, and immunoregulatory effects. In this study, we found that PF induces apoptosis in both murine T-lineage cells and human T-c...

BACKGROUND: A growing number of studies have reported an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and respiratory disease (RD) within hours after exposure to ambient air pollution or temperature. We assemble published evidence on the sub-daily associations of CVD and RD with ambient air pollut...

The Ediacaran–Cambrian (E-C) transition witnessed dramatic tectonic, climatic, oceanic, and biological co-evolutions at the dawn of the ‘Cambrian explosion’. Although glaciations were reported in some mid-high-latitude continents during this interval, large uncertainties remain concerning timing and...

Independent controls of various properties of electromagnetic (EM) waves are crucially required in a wide range of applications. Programmable metasurface is a promising candidate to provide an advanced platform for manipulating EM waves. Here, we propose an approach that can arbitrarily control the ...

Characterization of metabolic perturbation prior to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may deepen the understanding of causal pathways and identify novel biomarkers for early prevention. We conducted two 1:1 matched nested case-control studies (108 and 55 pairs) to examine the association of plasma meta...

CONTEXT Noise is a key environmental stressor affecting millions of people worldwide on a daily basis. Chronic exposure to noise may elevate the risk of adiposity through sleep deprivation and heightened stress level. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A literature search was conducted in the PubMed, Web of Scien...

Short-term exposure to ambient high temperature (heat) could increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, available evidence on the burden of daytime and nighttime heat on CVD is limited and vulnerable populations remain unknown so far. We aimed to examine and differentiate the impact...

Abstract Chronic inflammation has been associated with the development of lung cancer. In this study, we examined the association between C‐reactive protein (CRP) and lung cancer in a prospective cohort study and used Mendelian randomization (MR) to clarify the causality. We included 420 977 partici...

Abstract Lower order faults (LOFs) are characterized by small‐scale, strong concealment and difficult to identify in seismic data, which affects the accuracy of LOF interpretation. Due to the quality of the seismic data in the M35 fault block of the Gaoyou sag, Subei basin, the direction of the LOFs...

This study investigates the effects of heat and ultrasonic treatments on the physicochemical parameters and rennet-induced coagulation properties of milk from a variety of species, including cow, goat, buffalo, and donkey. Milk samples were subjected to heat treatments at different temperatures (65 ...

During the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident, large amounts of radioactive materials were released into the environment. Among them, a large proportion of the radionuclides, such as Cs, entered into the environment as radioactive microparticles (RMs). In recent years, the charac...
