Abstract Food breakdown during storage and transit greatly adds to worldwide food waste. Biodegradable edible coatings derived from natural sources provide a sustainable method to extend the shelf life and preserve the freshness of fresh fruit. This study explores the potential of the readily available and nutrient-rich seaweed, Caulerpa lentillifera, as a base material for edible coatings that can enhance the shelf life and maintain the physicochemical properties of fruits and vegetables. Caulerpa lentillifera, a marine macroalga renowned for its unique biochemical composition, presents a promising avenue for developing sustainable bio-coatings to improve the post-harvest quality of fresh… More >

Abstract In high-renewable-energy power systems, the demand for fast-responding capabilities is growing. To address the limitations of conventional closed-loop frequency control, where the integral coefficient cannot dynamically adjust the frequency regulation command based on the state of charge (SoC) of energy storage units, this paper proposes a secondary frequency regulation control strategy based on variable integral coefficients for multiple energy storage units. First, a power-uniform controller is designed to ensure that thermal power units gradually take on more regulation power during the frequency regulation process. Next, a control framework based on variable integral coefficients is proposed… More >

Abstract Ice accretion on structures such as aircraft wings and wind turbine blades poses serious risks to aerodynamic performance and operational safety, particularly in cold and humid environments. This study conducts numerical simulations of ice formation on thin flat plates using CFD and FENSAP-ICE, exploring how air temperature, wind velocity, and angle of attack (AOA) affect icing behavior and aerodynamic characteristics. Results indicate that ice thickness increases linearly over time. Rime ice forms at low temperatures due to immediate droplet freezing, whereas glaze ice develops at higher temperatures when a water film forms and subsequently refreezes… More >

Abstract Vehicular networks enable seamless connectivity for exchanging emergency and infotainment content. However, retrieving infotainment data from remote servers often introduces high delays, degrading the Quality of Service (QoS). To overcome this, caching frequently requested content at fog-enabled Road Side Units (RSUs) reduces communication latency. Yet, the limited caching capacity of RSUs makes it impractical to store all contents with varying sizes and popularity. This research proposes an efficient content caching algorithm that adapts to dynamic vehicular demands on highways to maximize request satisfaction. The scheme is evaluated against Intelligent Content Caching (ICC) and Random Caching More >

Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) continue to present a leading cause of mortality worldwide, emphasizing the importance of early and accurate prediction. Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, central to cardiac monitoring, have increasingly been integrated with Deep Learning (DL) for real-time prediction of CVDs. However, DL models are prone to performance degradation due to concept drift and to catastrophic forgetting. To address this issue, we propose a real-time CVDs prediction approach, referred to as ADWIN-GFR that combines Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) layers, for spatial feature extraction, with Gated Recurrent Units (GRU), for temporal modeling, alongside adaptive drift detection and… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Exploring the phenotypic trait variation and diversity of kiwifruit male plant resources can support selection, breeding, and genetic improvement, ultimately enhancing agricultural production. In this study, 50 kiwifruit male plants were collected from the resource nursery of Sichuan Provincial Natural Resources Bureau. The phenotypic variation of the germplasm was analyzed using 16 quantitative traits. The analysis involved coefficient of variation (CV), Shannon-Wiener index (H), principal component analysis, correlation analysis, cluster analysis, and comprehensive evaluation. The results showed that the variation range of 16 phenotypic traits in kiwifruit male germplasm resources was 1.55% to 83.71%, with… More >

Abstract The prolonged health monitoring using wearable technology faces challenges stemming from perspiration, including bacterial proliferation, compromised adhesion, signal quality deterioration, and user discomfort. Notably, excessive sweat fosters bacterial colonization, escalating infection risks, and compromising biomarker analysis. Existing antibacterial approaches, unfortunately, risk disrupting the delicate balance of skin microbiota. To address this, we’ve developed a Janus patch featuring Zn-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) modification, which boasts sustained antibacterial properties while preserving the epidermal microecology. It integrates a hydrophobic LDH fabric that mechanically eradicate bacteria via a nanoknife effect, and a laser-engraved medical adhesive with microholes for More >

Abstract Background: As a major histopathological subtype of gastric cancer (GC), stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) is an important malignant tumor in the digestive system. Increasing evidence also indicates that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and progression of GC. Therefore, this study aims to screen and identify vital ER stress-related genes that could contribute to the malignant development and poor prognosis for STAD. Methods: A novel ER stress-related risk score signature was developed employing machine learning techniques. Then, a prognostic prediction nomogram was also built based on the clinicopathological characteristics and the… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Objectives: Podocytes undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and ferroptosis in response to hyperglycemic stimulation. This is considered an important early event in the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Rhein is the main active anthraquinone derivative in several common traditional herbal medicines. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of Rhein on podocyte ferroptosis and EMT. Methods: The mouse glomerular podocyte cell line MPC5 was stimulated with high glucose (HG), Rhein, and the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1). Mechanistic investigations employed plasmids to overexpress and knockdown Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1), solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11),… More >
