Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) has become a major public health problem across the Asia-Pacific region, and is commonly caused by enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) and coxsackievirus A6 (CV-A6), CV-A10 and CV-A16. Generating pathogen whole-genome sequences is essential for understanding their evolutionary biology. The frequent replacements among EV serotypes and a limited numbers of available whole-genome sequences hinder the development of overlapping PCRs for whole-genome sequencing. We developed and ...

As 3D-printed (3DP) patterns are solid and durable, they can be used to create thin wall castings, which is complicated with wax patterns because of the wax's fragility and high shrinkage ratio. According to this study's experiment results, polylactic acid (PLA), polyvinyl butyral (PVB), and castable wax (CW) are suitable materials for preparing investment casting (IC) cavities. The results indicate that the casting product with the highest-quality surface is obtained using a cavity prepared using a ...

The BOLD fMRI response in the cortex is often assumed to reflect changes in excitatory neural activity. However, the contribution of inhibitory neurons to BOLD fMRI is unclear. Here, the role of inhibitory and excitatory activity was examined using multimodal approaches: electrophysiological recording, 15.2 T fMRI, optical intrinsic signal imaging, and modeling. Inhibitory and excitatory neuronal activity in the somatosensory cortex were selectively modulated by 20-s optogenetic stimulation of VGAT- ...

Colorectal cancer is a dangerous disease with a high mortality rate. To increase the likelihood of successful treatment, early detection of polyps is a useful solution. The Unet-architecture network model is showing success in medical image segmentation including analysis of polyps from colonoscopy images. Traditional Unet and Unet-based models are often huge, requiring training and deployment with a high-performance system. Designing models with compact size and high performance would be an important ...

More new energy sources have been incorporated into a microgrid model with parameter space growing exponentially, causing optimization scheduling as a nonlinear issue to become more complex and difficult to calculate. This study suggests an improved Archimedes optimization algorithm (IAOA) increases optimal performance for the microgrid operations planning issue. A multiobjective function about optimization planning issues is constructed with relevant economic costs and environmental profits for ...

Rivers in east Asia have been recognized as having unusual geometries, suggestive of drainage reorganization linked to Tibetan Plateau surface uplift. In this study we applied a series of major and trace element proxies, together with bulk Nd and single K‐feldspar grain Pb isotope ion probe isotope analyses, to understand the sediment budget of the modern Red River. We also investigate how this may have evolved during the Cenozoic. We show that while most of the modern sediment is generated by physical ...

In this study we applied 40Ar/39Ar dating methods to muscovite grains in sands from the modern Red and Yangtze Rivers in order to constrain palaeo and modern erosion patterns and sediment transport processes. Micas in the headwaters of the Red River and its southern Da River tributary are dominantly Cenozoic, while the northern Lo River tributary shows a typical 160–220 Ma population. The lower reaches of the Red River comprise 53% of such Triassic grains, indicating that the Lo River is the most ...

Phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor-2 alpha (eIF2 alpha) is increased in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and this protein can be phosphorylated by several kinases, including double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR), PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), amino acids-regulated eIF2 alpha kinase (GCN2) and heme-regulated eIF2 alpha kinase (HRI). PKR and PERK especially are activated in the AD brain, and GCN2 is reported to increase presenilin-1 (PS1) activity. Okadaic acid (OA), a protein ...

We consider both scenarios with single and multiple channels. For each scenario, we design a synchronized MAC protocol for dynamic spectrum sharing among multiple secondary users (SUs), which incorporates spectrum sensing for protecting active primary users (PUs). We perform saturation throughput analysis for the corresponding proposed MAC protocols ...

Sand samples from the mouths of the Red and Mekong Rivers were analyzed to determine the provenance and exhumation history of their source regions. U‐Pb dating of detrital zircon grains shows that the main sources comprise crust formed within the Yangtze Craton and during the Triassic Indosinian Orogeny. Indosinian grains in the Mekong are younger (210–240 Ma) than those in the Red River (230–290 Ma), suggesting preferential erosion of the Qiangtang Block of Tibet into the Mekong. The Red River has ...

In this paper, we consider the channel assignment problem for cognitive radio networks with hardware-constrained secondary users (SUs). In particular, we assume that SUs exploit spectrum holes on a set of channels where each SU can use at most one available channel for communication. We present the optimal brute-force search algorithm to solve the corresponding nonlinear integer optimization problem and analyze its complexity. Because the optimal solution has exponential complexity with the numbers ...

A study of active tectonic development in Vietnam is of great importance. Right lateral strike-slip offsets along the Red River fault during the Pliocene‐present are determined by analyzing tributaries, Quaternary alluvial fans, river valley from Landsat, SPOT images, detailed topographical maps and field observation. Along the SW fault of the Red River, right lateral offsets of stream channels range between 150 and 700 m (mean offsets of 300 m). Drainage offsets (170–450 m) are found on the eastern ...

In particular, we consider a SDCSS scheme where secondary users (SUs) perform sensing and exchange sensing outcomes with each other to locate spectrum holes. In addition, we devise the p-persistent CSMA-based cognitive medium access control (MAC) protocol integrating the SDCSS to enable efficient spectrum sharing among SUs. We then perform ...

The proposed FD cognitive MAC (FDC-MAC) protocol does not require synchronization among SUs and it efficiently ...

In particular, popular contents can be cached at user devices as well as at relays that are located close to users. A user can request contents from another user via D2D communications and also from a nearby relay equipped with FD radios. In the case that there is a caching miss (i.e., the requested contents ...

Especially increased temperatures will worsen the situations in cities, amplifying the urban heat island effect.
