Wong Fei-hung was a Cantonese martial arts master from southern China who became associated with a melody called 'General's Ode'. Since the 1950s, over 100 Hong Kong movies and television shows have forged the link by using this melody as Master Wong's theme. During fieldwork in a Chinese Canadian kung fu club, I observed several consultants claiming this ...

Here, we report that long-term stable and efficient organic solar cells (OSCs) can be obtained through the following strategies: i) combination of rapid-drying blade-coating deposition with an appropriate thermal annealing treatment to obtain an optimized morphology of the active layer; ii) insertion of interfacial layers to optimize the interfacial properties. The resulting devices based on poly[4,8-bis(5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophen-2-yl)benzo[1,2-b;4,5-b′]dithiophene-2,6-diyl-alt-(4-(2-ethylhexyl)-3- ...

Removal of ammonium (NH4+-N) by microalgae has evoked interest in wastewater treatment, however, the detailed mechanisms of ammonium assimilation remain mysterious. This study investigated the effects of NH4+-N concentration on the removal and biotransformation efficiency by Chlorella vulgaris F1068, and explored the mechanisms by 15N isotope fractionation and proteome approaches. The results showed NH4+-N was efficiently removed (84.8%) by F1068 at 10 mg L−1 of NH4+-N. The isotope enrichment factor ( ...

Recent studies have demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can donate mitochondria to airway epithelial cells and rescue mitochondrial damage in lung injury. We sought to determine whether MSCs could donate mitochondria and protect against oxidative stress-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in the cornea. Co-culturing of MSCs and corneal epithelial cells (CECs) indicated that the efficiency of mitochondrial transfer from MSCs to CECs was enhanced by Rotenone (Rot)-induced oxidative stress. ...

Background We examined the association of housing affordability with physical and mental health in Hong Kong, where there is a lack of related research despite having the worst housing affordability problem in the world, considering potential mediating effect of deprivation. Methods A stratified random sample of 1978 Hong Kong adults were surveyed. Housing affordability was defined using the residual-income (after housing costs) approach. Health-related quality of life was assessed by the Short-Form ...

The removal of nutrients by algae is regarded as a vital process in wastewater treatment, however algal cell activity can be inhibited by some toxic chemicals during the biological process. This study investigated the uptake of ammonia nitrogen (NH4+) and total phosphorus (TP) by a green alga (Chlorella vulgaris) and algal cell responses under the stress of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), a representative for quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs, cationic surfactants).

Automatic liver tumor segmentation is of great importance for assisting doctors in liver cancer diagnosis and treatment planning. Recently, deep learning approaches trained with pixel-level annotations have contributed many breakthroughs in image segmentation. However, acquiring such accurate dense annotations is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which limits the performance of deep neural networks for medical image segmentation. We note that Couinaud segment is widely used by radiologists when ...

To achieve better removal of NH4(+) and TP in wastewater, a new algae-bacteria combined system of Chlorella vulgaris and Bacillus licheniformis was investigated in a 6-d experiment. The results showed that 78% of NH4(+) could be removed in the combined system, while 29% in single algae system and only 1% in single bacteria system. Approximately 92% of TP was removed in the combined system, compared with 55% and 78% in single algae and bacteria system, respectively. B. licheniformis was proven to ...

The joint action of binary mixtures of cetyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (CTAC), a cationic surfactant, and six aromatic hydrocarbons (AHs) on green algae Chlorella vulgaris was investigated. In single systems, inhibition efficiency of CTAC on the growth of algae was much higher than that of AHs (benzene, toluene, phenol, nitrobenzene, phenanthrene and fluoranthene). In combined systems, the toxicity of CTAC was enhanced by low concentrations of AHs. 96 h EC50 value of CTAC varied from 145±13.35–56± ...

A new strategy was developed for the efficient synthesis of di-, tetra-, and hexa-substituted 1,3-butadienes. This one-pot procedure involves lithium-iodine exchange to generate the corresponding vinyllithium intermediates. A subsequent iron-catalyzed ligand-free oxidative homo-coupling eventually led to the formation of 1,3-butadienes in acceptable to excellent isolated yields.

Abstract p53 is the most frequently mutated tumor-suppressor gene in human cancers. Unlike other tumor-suppressor genes, p53 mutations mainly occur as missense mutations within the DNA-binding domain, leading to the expression of full-length mutant p53 protein. Mutant p53 proteins not only lose their tumor-suppressor function, but may also gain new oncogenic functions and promote tumorigenesis. Here, we showed that silencing of endogenous p53-R273H contact mutant, but not p53-R175H conformational ...

Inflammation is the key driver of liver fibrosis progression in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Unfortunately, it is often challenging to assess inflammation in NAFLD due to its dynamic nature and poor correlation with liver biochemical markers. Liver histology keeps its role as the standard tool, yet it is well-known for substantial sampling, intraobserver, and interobserver variability. Serum proinflammatory cytokines and apoptotic markers, namely cytokeratin-18, are well-studied with ...

Controllable hierarchy of highly regular, single-crystalline nanorod, nanopencil and nanocone arrays with tunable geometry and etch anisotropy has been achieved over large areas (>1.5 cm × 1.5 cm) by using an [AgNO3 + HF + HNO3/H2O2] etching system. The etching mechanism has been elucidated to originate from the site-selective deposition of Ag nanoclusters. Different etch anisotropies and aspect ratios can be accomplished by modulating the relative concentration in the [AgNO3 + HF + HNO3/H2O2] etching system. ...

Abstract Ferroelectric switching is demonstrated in CeO 2 ‐doped Hf 0.5 Zr 0.5 O 2 (HZCO) thin films with application in back‐end‐of‐line compatible embedded memories. At low cerium oxide doping concentrations (2.0–5.6 mol%), the ferroelectric orthorhombic phase is stabilized after annealing at temperatures below 400 °C. HZCO ferroelectrics show reliable switching characteristics beyond 10 11 cycles in TiN/HZCO/TiN capacitors, several orders of magnitude greater than identically processed Hf 0.5 Zr ...
