Abstract In this paper, we start from the study on the packaging efficiency of the phosphor-converted white LED via a new way to measure and calculate the blue light from the blue die to the encapsulation lens. Then we try to estimate the limit of luminous efficacy of a pcW-LED with Type VII structure. In the calculation, with the EQE of 81% of the blue die and Stokes loss, we obtain the optimal limit of luminous efficacy. The largest one reaches 300 lm/W, and occurs for green-white light with CCT ...

Elevation of angiotensin II (Ang II) in the serum of patients with diabetes is known to promote apoptosis of islet β cells, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to explore the role of Nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in Ang II-induced apoptosis of pancreatic islet β cells and investigate the possible underlying mechanism. The effect of Ang II on INS-1 cell (a rat insulinoma cell line) viability was detected by CCK-8 method. The cell apoptosis ...

Abnormal fetal and early postnatal growth is closely associated with adult-onset metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, the underlying etiological factors remain complex. The presence of the autoantibody against the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-Ab), a known risk factor for pre-eclampsia, may create a suboptimal intrauterine fetal environment. The current study investigated whether middle-aged offspring of AT1-Ab-positive mothers were prone to metabolic disorder development.The AT1-Abs was detected ...

All routine coagulation parameters were within normal ranges. The patient's bleeding tendency was not caused by factor XIII deficiency, alpha2-antiplasmin deficiency, or tissue type-plasminogen activator increase. His characteristic abnormalities of fibrinolysis included shortened euglobulin clot lysis time, low plasminogen ...

Both student feedback literacy and self-assessment are crucial for developing self-regulated and lifelong learning in higher education. The relationship between these two concepts is important but as yet understudied. Using self-assessment to develop students' feedback literacy has been mentioned in relevant literature, but how feedback literacy can facilitate self-assessment practice remains unclear. The purpose of this conceptual article is twofold. First, we articulate the interplay between feedback ...

Both formative assessment and growth mindset scholars aim to understand how to enhance achievement. While research on formative assessment focuses on external teaching practices, work on growth mindset emphasises internal psychological processes. This study examined the interplay between three formative assessment strategies (i.e. sharing learning progressions, providing feedback, and instructional adjustments) and growth mindset in predicting reading achievement using the PISA2018 data. We focused ...

Lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is a newly identified protein translational modification and is involved in major biological processes including glycolysis, but its role in colorectal cancer (CRC) is unknown. Here, we found that the Kcr of α enolase (ENO1) was significantly elevated in human CRC tissues compared with the paratumoral tissues. CREB-binding protein (CBP) functioned as a crotonyltranferase of ENO1, and SIRT2 was involved in the decrotonylation of ENO1. Using quantitative mass spectrometry for ...

Prostatitis is a common disease in adult males, with characteristics of a poor treatment response and easy recurrence, which seriously affects the patient’s quality of life. The prostate is located deep in the pelvic cavity, and thus a traditional infusion or other treatment methods are unable to easily act directly on the prostate, leading to poor therapeutic effects. Therefore, the development of new diagnostic and treatment strategies has become a research hotspot in the field of prostatitis ...

This study investigated the possibility of coupling anaerobic hydrolysis in an anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) with mixotrophic microalgae cultivation in a membrane photobioreactor (MPBR) for the sustainable treatment of municipal wastewater. Using the hydrolyzed wastewater discharged from AnMBR, Chlorella pyrenoidosa in MPBR grew in a mixotrophic mode and realized rapid growth. During the stable operation, MPBR achieved average carbon capture rate of 42.82 mg L−1 d−1 and algal lipid production ...

Saline wastewater was used in this study to culture freshwater microalgae Chlorella pyrenoidosa in sequencing batch photobioreactor to improve the sedimentation and lipid production of algal cells. Influent salinity of 0.5% or above effectively promoted the sedimentation of microalgae in the settling stage of photobioreactor, and greatly reduced the algal biomass in effluent. The mechanism of the saline wastewater in improving the sedimentation of microalgae included decreasing zeta potential, increasing ...

The conventional approach to modeling a typical photovoltaic (PV) module under partial shading conditions is based on the equivalent circuit model, which provides the current–voltage (I–V) relationship in an implicit form. In this study, a novel method based on an explicit analytical model is proposed for estimating the performance of a PV module under partial shading conditions. An explicit expression of voltage in terms of current is derived from the implicit I–V expression of the single-diode model ...

Understanding the circumstances that lead to pandemics is important for their prevention. We analyzed the genomic diversity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) early in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We show that SARS-CoV-2 genomic diversity before February 2020 likely comprised only two distinct viral lineages, denoted "A" and "B." Phylodynamic rooting methods, coupled with epidemic simulations, reveal that these lineages were the result of at least two ...

Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cell-derived exosomes (BMSC-Exos) can recruit stem cells for bone repair, with neovessels serving as the main migratory channel for stem cells to the injury site. However, existing exosome (Exo) delivery strategies cannot reach the angiogenesis phase following bone injury. To that end, an enzyme-sensitive Exo delivery material that responds to neovessel formation during the angiogenesis phase was designed in the present study to achieve spatiotemporally controlled Exo ...
