Thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal displays (TFT-LCDs) have gained popularity due to their widespread use in the production of televisions, laptops, and iPads. TFT-LCD firms’ activities that build relationships with suppliers and customers contribute to the emergence of supply networks. A firm’s ability to identify risks, however, is complicated, as TFT-LCD supply networks are becoming increasingly global, complex, and interconnected. The extant research on the topological structure of TFT-LCD supply networks is limited, and the risks identified rely...

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) by triggering Fenton reaction or Fenton-like reaction to generate hazardous hydroxyl radical (•OH), is a promising strategy to selectively inhibit tumors with higher H2O2 levels and relatively acidic microenvironment. Current Fe-based Fenton nanocatalysts mostly depend on slowly releasing iron ions from Fe or Fe oxide-based nanoparticles, which leads to a limited rate of Fenton reaction. Herein, we employed black phosphorene nanosheets (BPNS), a biocompatible and biodegradable photothermal material, to develop iron-mineralized black...

Sand production, which has tripled in the last two decades, is an emerging concern for global biodiversity. However, the paucity of sand mining data worldwide prevents understanding the extent of sand mining impacts and how it affects wildlife populations and ecosystems, which is critical for timely mitigation and conservation actions. Integrating remote sensing and field surveys over 14 years, we investigated mining impacts on the critically endangered Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) in Dongting...

Keloids are benign dermal tumors that arise from abnormal wound healing processes following skin lesions. Surgical excision followed by radiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of keloids. Nevertheless, radioresistance remains a serious impediment to treatment efficacy. Investigation of the molecular response of keloids to radiation may contribute to radiosensitizing strategies. Primary keloid fibroblasts from human keloids were isolated and irradiated with X-ray. The expression profiles of messenger RNA (mRNA) in nonradiated and irradiated...

3D printing technology has significant advantages in the processing field of vascular tissue engineering. We have developed KCMA/SA hydrogels based on methacrylated carrageenan (KCMA) and sodium alginate (SA), which have low viscosity and shear thinning properties and can be used for 3D printing. The physicochemical double cross-linked network structure leads to good mechanical properties. The composite hydrogels maintain the liquid crystallinity of KC, which causes the HUVECs to align. The KCMA/SA gel filaments printed by...

Controlled-release urea (CRU) and normal urea have been shown to improve yield and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in rice. However, the effects of combined fertilizers (CRU and normal urea, at different N ratios) on rice yield, temperature and solar radiation utilization efficiency (TSRUE) and NUEs remain unclear. In this study, CRU with release periods of 60 days and 100 days were mixed with urea at N ratios of 7:3, 6:4, 5:5, 4:6 and 3:7 and...

Two new nor-triterpenoids ganodrenol A (1), B (2), and a new natural product ganodrenol C (3), along with three known nor-triterpenoids (4–6) were isolated from the fruiting bodies of Ganoderma lucidum. The chemical structures of these isolates were determined by 1 D and 2 D NMR, HRESIMS, and X-ray crystallography analysis. The inhibitory effects of isolated triterpenoids (1–6) against FAAH were evaluated by an in vitro assay, and compound 4 showed an inhibition rate of...

Hyperuricaemia can lead to gout and is associated with an increased risk of cardiometabolic disease. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of hyperuricaemia and its related factors in Chinese children and adolescents. We pooled data from 11 population-based studies comprising 54,580 participants aged 3–19 years. The sex- and age-standardized prevalence of hyperuricaemia was estimated overall and by sex, age, weight status, geographic region and survey year. Serum uric acid (SUA) increased gradually from 3 to...

Atomically precise Ag-doped polyoxo-titanium oxo clusters (Ag-PTCs) are beneficial for the investigation on structure-property relationship of silver doped TiO2 materials. Although several Ag-PTC clusters have been reported, their hierarchical assembly into multidimensional structures remains unexplored. In this work, di-phosphine ligands with various carbon chain lengths were exploited to stabilize and induce the hierarchical assembly of Ti8Ag2 oxo clusters. Correspondingly, cis- and trans-isomers of {Ti8Ag2} are generated in the discrete cluster (PTC-337) and two 1D-chains (PTC-338...

Two 2D Zn(II) coordination polymers, formulated as [Zn(μ2-tdc)(μ-pmid)] (1), {[Zn(μ2-tdc)(μ-pmmid)2·4H2O]}n (2) (H2tdc = 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid, pmid = 1-(4-pyridylmethyl)imidazole; pmmid = 1-(4-pyridylmethyl)-2-methylimidazole) have been synthesized by reactions of Zn(OAc)2·2H2O and H2tdc with flexibleN-(4-pyridylmethyl)imidazole derivatives under the mild reaction conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and other physicochemical methods. Structure determination demonstrates compound 1 displays a 2-fold 2D → 2D parallel interpenetrating structure, while compound 2 shows a 2D non-interpenetrating network. These results reveal that the...

Pilots’ operation behavior in flight is associated with their mental state variables such as workload, situation awareness, stress, etc. The objective of this study was to investigate the dynamic process of mental workload for pilots who perform a risky flight task in simulated scenarios. Two empirical experiments were conducted to address this issue. In experiment one, 19 trainee pilots divided into high-risk and low-risk groups performed a target-search task in a low-altitude visual flight. The...

The protection of migratory birds and their habitats is important to the ecological stability of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). Currently protected areas (PAs) were designed in accordance with species distribution patterns under current climatic conditions, thus ignoring climate change will lead to a decrease in the protection efficiency of PAs. In this study, using the flagship species Grus nigricollis, as an example, we used the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model to simulate the distributions and conservation...

This paper studies whether firms’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) affects their access to trade credit in response to monetary contraction shocks. Based on US firm-level data from 1995Q1 to 2014Q1, we find that after monetary contraction shocks, firms with higher levels of CSR receive more trade credit than firms with lower levels of CSR. Moreover, the beneficial impact of CSR is stronger for firms in regions with higher social trust and in more competitive industries....
