Formation and Stability of Food Emulsions: A Review through the Lens of the Oil Phase

ABSTRACT Emulsions serve vital roles in the food industry, including structural design and delivery of functional components. As thermodynamically unstable systems, emulsions undergo various destabilization processes over time. Therefore, understanding the instability mechanisms...

Power outages, multi-product firms, and firm productivity: Theory and evidence from China

This study develops a model of multi-product firms (MPFs) to examine their responses to power outages and the consequent effects on firm productivity. In the model, MPFs mitigate the adverse effects of power outages by discontinuing their less-productive products and focusing mor...

Immunogenicity and protective efficacy evaluation of an inactivated Lawsonia intracellularis vaccine candidate developed on the basis of a Chinese isolate in pigs

Abstract Porcine proliferative enteropathy (PPE), caused by the obligate intracellular bacterium Lawsonia intracellularis (LI), is an important enteric disease of pigs that impairs intestinal function and growth performance. Vaccination is the most effective measure for the preve...

Genomic and pathogenic characterization of a chicken-origin cluster 3.2 Tembusu virus isolated in China

Abstract Tembusu virus (TMUV) is an emerging flavivirus that causes encephalitis and a decrease in egg production in poultry across East and Southeast Asia. Here, we isolated and characterized a chicken-origin TMUV strain, CHN-WH, from a laying hen farm in China. Whole-genome seq...

Integrated Characterization of ceRNA (circRNA/lncRNA/miRNA/mRNA) Regulatory Networks in a Glaesserella parasuis–Induced Mouse Meningitis Model

Glaesserella parasuis (G. parasuis, GPS) is a known causative agent of meningitis. A growing body of research indicates that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are deeply involved in modulating inflammatory responses. In our study, we profiled the expression changes in circRNAs, lncRNAs, m...

Urban Energy Transition During Climate-Smart Technology Diffusion: Stage-Dependent Evidence from 282 Chinese Cities

Urban energy transition requires the deployment of clean energy alongside technologies that lower the carbon intensity of urban economic activity. Yet the effect of climate-smart technology may change with the stage of technology diffusion. Using city-level data from 282 Chinese...

Fully tunable on-chip meta-generator for multidimensional Poincaré sphere mapping

Abstract The angular momentum of light can be elegantly mapped onto high-order Poincaré spheres, providing a powerful framework for describing structured light beams. Such beams have shown extraordinary potential across diverse applications, including high-capacity optical commun...
