Soil quality (SQ) is critical to sustainable agricultural development. It sensitive the crop yield, especially in thin-layer black-soil regions, which have experienced severe degradation recent years. However, how evaluate SQ and its influence on land productivity not clear regions with thin coverage. Therefore, an integrated soil index (SQI) was constructed using diverse datasets along a 30 km...

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have long been well established as a reliable way to construct highly accurate, up-to-date digital elevation models (DEM). However, the territories which were modeled by results of UAV surveys can be characterized very local. This paper presents surveying Sarycum area Dagestan Nature Reserve Russia with an 15 sq. km using DJI Phantom 4 UAV, methodological recommen...

Recently, lecithin-derived phosphatidylserine (PS), which originates from marine life, has received much attention as a viable alternative to bovine cerebral cortex PS. In this study, the use of squid phosphatidylcholine-transphosphatidylated PS (SQ-PS) was evaluated through examination of its ameliorating effects on age-associated learning and memory deficits in rats. Aged rats were orally adm...

The skin has the inherent capacity to grow and renew under constant stretch. To interrogate mechanisms underlying stretch-induced response, we established a system of controlled tissue expansion (TE) back in mice, wherein growth is induced from an implanted enlarged expander. Stretched known induce inflammation; however, role inflammation inducing molecular are underexplored. Using flow cytomet...

Two squaraine (SQ) donor molecules with different absorption bands are blended together for better coverage of the solar spectrum. The blend SQ device shows a significant improvement compared with single SQ donor devices. By applying a solvent annealing process and a compound buffer layer, a power-conversion efficiency of 5.9 ± 0.3% is achieved under 1 sun illumination.
