Soil organic matter (SOM) is a key index of soil fertility. Calculating spectral index and screening characteristic band reduce redundancy information of hyperspectral data, and improve the accuracy of SOM prediction. This study aimed to compare the improvement of model accuracy by spectral index and characteristic band. This study collected 178 samples of topsoil (0–20 cm) in the central plain of Jiangsu, East China. Firstly... Читать дальше...

Not only the water quantity consumed but also the source of drinking water has been considered for their health benefits, but there is limited evidence. We aimed to determine whether the amount and type of drinking water affect physiological and biological functions, including brain function, by confirming how it affects gut microbiota which has an important regulatory role in host physiology. Three-week-old infant mice were subjected to 1) a water restriction experiment (control group... Читать дальше...

Research has shown mixed findings on the link between production diversity and household dietary diversity. The question is whether this link holds for children. In this study we examine the relationship between household’s agricultural production diversity and child dietary diversity, and between production diversity and child nutritional status. Smallholder farm households (n = 1067) and children (n = 1067) aged 3–16 years from two then nationally... Читать дальше...

BackgroundThe advantages of caesarean section (CS) in managing obstetric emergencies are abundant, but it is associated with several complications including surgical site infection (SSI). SSI significantly contributes to maternal morbidity and mortality rates. Mothers often do not receive adequate information about their at-home post-delivery care. Also, guidelines on post-CS care worldwide typically do not include home care recommendations. Читать дальше...

Undersized European plaice dominate the discarded fraction of the catch of the beam trawl fisheries for sole in the Southern North Sea. Effects of environmental conditions at sea and of the use of a water-filled hopper on the survival of undersized European plaice discarded by pulse trawl fisheries were explored. During trips with commercial pulse-trawlers catches were discharged in either water-filled hoppers or conventional dry hoppers. Читать дальше...

ObjectiveTenosynovial giant cell tumors (TSGCTs) of the knee differ in their clinical outcome according to disease subtypes and severity. The aim of this study was to determine the predictive MRI features related to local recurrence in TSGCT of the knee regarding disease subtypes and severity.
MethodsThis retrospective study included 20 patients with pathology-proven TSGCT of the knee who underwent preoperative MRI and surgery from Jan. Читать дальше...

We developed “Rattractor” (rat attractor), a system to apply electrical stimuli to the deep brain of a rat as it stays in a specified region or a virtual cage to demonstrate an instant electrophysiological feedback guidance for animals. Two wire electrodes were implanted in the brains of nine rats. The electrodes targeted the medial forebrain bundle (MFB), which is a part of the reward system in the deep brain. Following the recovery period... Читать дальше...

During the field operation of rice combine harvester, the vibration generated by vibration component will only reduce mechanical reliability and yield, but also cause resonance in the human body, leading to a decrease in driving comfort and even damage to the driver’s health. To study the impact of combine harvester vibration on driving comfort, a certain type of tracked rice combine harvester was selected as the research object... Читать дальше...

Nutrition knowledge acquired in college students may not only help in promoting an adequate diet, but also lead to excessive preoccupation with healthy eating, which is referred to as orthorexic behaviors. This study aimed to assess the relationship between nutrition knowledge, diet quality and orthorexic behaviors among college students of food and nutrition majors. Data were collected from a sample of 131 college students through a pre-post repeated... Читать дальше...

The Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered (SEIR) epidemic model has been commonly used to analyze the spread of infectious diseases. This 4-compartment (S, E, I and R) model uses an approximation of temporal homogeneity of individuals in these compartments to calculate the transfer rates of the individuals from compartment E to I to R. Although this SEIR model has been generally adopted, the calculation errors caused by temporal homogeneity approximation have not been quantitatively examined. Читать дальше...

Knots in proteins and DNA are known to have significant effect on their equilibrium and dynamic properties as well as on their function. While knot dynamics and thermodynamics in electrically neutral and uniformly charged polymer chains are relatively well understood, proteins are generally polyampholytes, with varied charge distributions along their backbones. Here we use simulations of knotted polymer chains to show that variation in the charge distribution... Читать дальше...
