Effects of light quality on phenotypic plasticity in Cunninghamialanceolata (Lamb.) Hook. seedlings during growth and development, the underlying mechanisms, were investigated. The showed distinct morphological adjustments when exposed to an equal photosynthetic photon flux density (400 μmol·m−2·s−1) different qualities: monochromatic blue (BL), red (RL), far-red (FrL), mixed RL FrL at 1:1 (RFr...

An optical fiber ring laser (FRL) cavity-based sensitive temperature and salinity sensor is proposed experimentally demonstrated. The consists of a Sagnac loop with waist 15 µm total length 30 cm made tapered polarization-maintaining (PMF). dual parameter sensing was theoretically modeled presented. sensitivity 0.173 nm/‰ possible by the efficient interaction between PMF cladding mode external ...

Serotonin (5-HT) is crucial to normal reflex vagal modulation of heart rate (HR). Reduced baroreflex sensitivity [spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity (sBRS)] and HR variability (HRV) reflect impaired neural, particularly vagal, control of HR and are independently associated with depression. In conscious, telemetered Flinders-Sensitive Line (FSL) rats, a well-validated animal model of depression,...

Previous studies have reported that the cell-binding region of the neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM) resides in a 65,000-D amino-terminal fragment designated Frl (Cunningham, B. A., S. Hoffman, U. Rutishauser, J. J. Hemperly, and G. M. Edelman, 1983, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 80:3116-3120). We have reported the presence of two functional domains in N-CAM, each identified by a specific mAb...

Wind speed (WS) prediction has become popular nowadays due to increasing demand for wind power generation and competitive development in energy. Many models are used predict WS which is non-stationary, nonlinear irregular. However, they neglect the effectiveness of feature selection methods prediction, thereby creating very challenging precise safe operation industry. To overpower these challen...

Load-bearing light gauge steel framed (LSF) wall is one of the main structural elements in cold-formed (CFS) buildings. When cavity insulation used to enhance energy performance LSF walls, their adequacy based fire resistance levels (FRL) decrease considerably. Hence, new materials and/or different configurations are considered. This research study investigated use silica aerogel fibreglass bla...

The internet of things (IoT) represents a disruptive concept that has been changing society in several ways. There have successful applications IoT the industry. For example, transportation systems, novel vehicles (IoV) enabled new research directions and automation solutions. Moreover, reinforcement learning (RL), federated (FL), (FRL) demonstrated remarkable success solving complex problems d...

In the complex and dynamically varying underwater acoustic (UWA) channel, cooperative communication can improve throughput for UWA sensor networks. this paper, we design a reasonable relay selection strategy efficient cooperation with reinforcement learning (RL), considering characteristics of channel variation long transmission delay. The proposed scheme establishes effective state reward expr...
