Distinct Nodal Centrality and Connectivity Profiles Underlying Independent and Interdependent Self-Construal: A Graph-Theoretical Resting-State fMRI Study

Background/Objectives: Self-construal—the extent to which the self is construed as autonomous from or connected with others—shapes cognition and social behavior, yet its system-level neural architecture remains poorly understood. This study examined whether independent and interd...

Differential regulation of physiological responses and selenium accumulation in blueberry seedlings under selenium stress by melatonin and the strigolactone

Abstract This study investigated the effects of exogenous melatonin (MT, 150 μ mol/L) and strigolactone analogue (GR24, 1 μmol/L) on the growth and selenium (Se) accumulation of ‘Farthing’ blueberry ( Vaccinium corymbosum L.) seedlings under Se stress (0.5 mg/L). Compared with th...

Behavioral Structure, Activity Rhythm and Relationships to the Conservation and Welfare of Tibetan Fox in Tibet Plateau of China

As a keystone species in alpine ecosystems, the Tibetan fox (Vulpes ferrilata) plays an important role in maintaining ecological processes on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. Understanding its behavioral structure, activity rhythm, and responses to road-related human disturbance is ess...

Perceived post-relocation adaptation influences cropland abandonment among relocated households in China

Abstract Poverty alleviation relocation has been an important instrument in China’s victory in the battle against poverty. Relocated households’ adaptation to production and lifestyles at resettlement destinations not only concerns the reconstruction of their sustainable liveliho...

Active noise control integrating the least mean squares algorithm and support vector machine algorithm

Abstract During vehicle operation, noise signals present challenges such as a broad frequency range, strong non-stationarity, and the limited effectiveness of traditional passive noise reduction methods in the low-frequency band. To address these issues, this study proposes an ac...

Melatonin enhances cadmium tolerance in Tartary buckwheat by regulating phenylpropane biosynthesis and redox gene expression

Abstract Background Melatonin (MT) is a multifunctional molecule capable of alleviating biotic and abiotic stresses in plants including cadmium (Cd) toxicity. While studies show that MT treatment can reduce the damage caused by Cd, it remains unclear how it mitigates Cd toxicity...

Primary adult renal pelvic soft tissue giant cell tumor: A rare case report

Rationale: Pyelonephric giant cell tumor of soft tissue represents an exceptionally uncommon neoplasm of the urinary tract with limited malignant potential. It typically follows a benign clinical trajectory, with distant metastases occurring infrequently; reports of aggressive di...
