An SBOA-optimized hybrid grey-seasonal model for nonlinear energy production forecasting

Purpose To address the challenges of low accuracy and poor generalization in energy time series forecasting, which stem from its nonlinear, non-stationary, and limited-sample-size nature, this study proposes a hybrid forecasting framework. The model was designed to be highly accu...

Low-Dose Paclitaxel Combined with Dehydrocavidine Synergistically Suppresses Cervical Cancer by Inhibiting FASN/SCD1-Mediated Lipid Metabolism

Cervical cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death among women, and acquired resistance to paclitaxel (PTX) frequently results in treatment failure. Dehydrocavidine (DHC), the principal bioactive alkaloid from the traditional Chinese herb Corydalis saxicola, has shown ant...

The polyphenol oxidase gene JrPPO2 is a candidate integrator for mycorrhizal symbiosis and stress adaptation in walnut

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is a key class of copper-containing enzymes involved in plant development, stress adaption, and enzymatic browning, while the specific PPO genes responsible for these processes in walnut ( Juglans regia L.) remain poorly characterized. This study provides...

Geomechanical Characteristics of Cretaceous Ultra-Deep Sandstone Reservoirs in the Southern Keshen Area, Kuqa Depression: Implications for Exploration and Development

Significant progress has been made in exploring ultra-deep tight sandstone gas in the Tarim Basin, but sweet spot prediction remains challenging in the Keshen block of the Kuqa Depression. Based on integrated geological, experimental, and seismic data, this study characterizes th...

Research on the Whirling and Vibration Characteristics of Steel–Titanium Alloy Composite Drill Strings for Ultra-Deep Wells

To address whirling- and vibration-induced failures in ultra-deep well drill strings caused by high slenderness ratios and complex loading conditions, this study establishes a nonlinear dynamic finite element model for a steel–titanium alloy composite drill string. The model is d...

Altered relative GLP-1 response patterns in gestational diabetes mellitus: a matched nested case-control study

Circulating glucagon-like peptide−1 (GLP-1) findings in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are inconsistent, and plasma GLP-1 concentrations do not directly measure incretin function. We characterized total GLP-1 profiles during the measured time points of an oral glucose tolera...

Longitudinal Study on Post‐Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety, and Depression Among Medical Staff in China

ABSTRACT Background Evidence of the longitudinal relationship between anxiety, depression, and post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is not uniform. This study aimed to explore the dynamic changes, independent factors, and bidirectional predictive relationships of anxiety, depres...

A Physics-Informed Multi-Modal Deep Learning Framework for Stochastic Prediction and Reliability Assessment of Human-Induced Vibrations in Lightweight and Composite Floor Systems

Human-induced vibrations in lightweight and composite floor systems pose important serviceability concerns because these structures typically have lower stiffness, reduced mass, and higher sensitivity to dynamic loading. Conventional deterministic design methods often overlook th...

The splicing factor SPR2 interacts with the RNA-binding protein PPR8 to facilitate mitochondrial intron splicing and is essential for maize seed development

Intron splicing plays a crucial role in organellar gene expression in plants, yet its mechanism remains poorly understood. We previously reported a small PPR protein, SPR2, which is a general splicing factor in the splicing of over half of the mitochondrial introns via interactio...

pH-/Temperature-Triggered Gel Transition of Hyperbranched PEI-g-PDMAEMA as a Dual-Responsive Inhibitor for Clay Hydration Control

To mitigate clay hydration and wellbore instability during deepwater drilling, a pH/temperature dual-responsive graft copolymer, hyperbranched polyethylenimine-g-poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (HPEI-g-PDMAEMA), was designed and synthesized via free radical polymerizati...

Maternal Antibody Transfer of a Fiber-Based Subunit Vaccine Confers Complete Protection Against Fowl Adenovirus Serotype 11 in Neonatal Chickens

Fowl adenovirus serotype 11 (FAdV-11) is an emerging pathogen associated with inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) and high mortality in commercial broilers. In this study, we evaluated the protective efficacy of maternal antibody transfer against FAdV-11 in neonatal chicks. A hypervir...

IR-YOLOv8 for lightweight object detection in inland waterway environments

Rapid and accurate object perception is essential for inland-waterway navigation, yet remains challenging because of complex visual environments, the lack of task-specific datasets, and limited computational resources. To address these challenges, we construct ODDIIRS, an inland-...

Late-time cosmological constraints on three holographic dark energy models with DESI DR2 BAO and Type Ia supernovae

Abstract We constrain three holographic-inspired dark energy models, namely holographic dark energy (HDE), agegraphic dark energy (ADE), and Ricci dark energy (RDE), using late-time observations from cosmic chronometers, Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), DESI DR2 baryon acoustic oscil...

Machine-Learning-Based Landslide Susceptibility Assessment Under Return Levels of Annual Rainy-Season Total Precipitation: A Case Study of Hanyuan County, China

Precipitation is often represented by long-term climatological means in landslide susceptibility assessments, leaving responses to rare seasonal precipitation and associated extrapolation uncertainty poorly understood. This study coupled hydrological frequency analysis with machi...

Study on the synergistic effect of H2 and CO2/H2O on the characteristics of soot formation in ethylene laminar diffusion flame

To mitigate the adverse health and environmental impacts of soot emissions from combustion, this study combines experimental measurements with numerical simulations to investigate the effects of H 2 and CO 2 /H 2 O addition on soot formation in ethylene laminar diffusion flames....

ZnO Nanoparticles Enhance the Biocontrol Efficacy of Bacillus siamensis YZUS007 Against Sclerotinia Stem Rot of Brassica napus

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum causes destructive sclerotinia stem rot and severe yield losses in global rapeseed production. The Bacillus biocontrol strain YZUS007 serves as an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic fungicides, yet its control efficacy fluctuates under complex field co...

A Structurally Dynamic Chromosome 11 Locus from Oryza rufipogon Confers Recessive Resistance to Bacterial Blight in Rice

Bacterial blight (BB), caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae ( Xoo ), poses a major threat to global rice production as rapidly evolving pathogen populations overcome existing resistance genes. In this study, we characterized genetic resistance in the Oryza rufipogon accession...
