    Abstract Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation represents a major carcinogen for the development of all skin cancer types. Mechanistically, UVB induces damage to DNA in the form of lesions, including cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs). Disruption of the functional repair processes, such as nucleotide excision repair (NER), allows persistence of DNA damage and contributes to skin carcinogenesis. Recent work has implicated m

    Abstract Background: Yellow Stripe-Like (YSL) proteins are involved in the uptake and transport of metal ions. They play important roles in maintaining the zinc and iron homeostasis in Arabidopsis, rice (Oryza sativa), and barley (Hordeum vulgare). However, proteins in this family have not been fully identified and comprehensively analyzed in maize (Zea mays L.).
    Results: In this study, we identified 19 ZmYSLs in the maize genome and analyzed their structural features. The results of a phylogenetic analysis showed that ZmYSLs are homologous to YSLs of Arabidopsis and rice, and these proteins are divided into four independent branches. Although their exons and introns have structural differences, the motif structure is relatively conserved. Analysis of the cis-regulatory elements in the promoters indicated that ZmYSLs might play a role in response to hypoxia and light. The results of RNA sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR analysis revealed that ZmYSLs are expressed in various tissues and respond differently to zinc and iron deficiency. The subcellular localization of ZmYSLs in the protoplast of maize mesophyll cells showed that they may function in the membrane system.
    Conclusions: This study provided important information for the further functional analysis of ZmYSL, especially in the spatio-temporal expression and adaptation to nutrient deficiency stress. Our findings provided important genes resources for the maize biofortification.

    Abstract Objective: To identify the core residual symptom of MDD and assess its relationship with patients' long-term outcomes.
    Method: All patients were administered antidepressants during the acute phase and treated continuously. The 521 patients remitted at month 6 of a multicenter prospective project were included. Remission was defined as a Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms-Self-Report total score of ≤5. Functional impairments were measured with the Sheehan Disability Scale, quality of life with the Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire - short form, and family burden with the Family Burden Scale of Disease. Visits were scheduled at baseline, weeks 2, 8, 12, and month 6.
    Results: Difficulty with concentration/decision making was the core residual symptom of MDD, determined with the centrality measure of network analysis. It was positively associated with functional impairments and family burden (r = 0.35, P < 0.01 and r = 0.31, P < 0.01, respectively) and negatively associated with life satisfaction (r = -0.29, P < 0.01). The exhibition of this residual symptom was associated with a family history of psychiatric disorders (OR = 2.610 [1.242-5.485]).
    Conclusions: The core residual symptom of MDD, difficulty with concentration/decision making, is associated with poorer social functioning, heavier family burden, and lower life satisfaction. Early detection and intervention of this symptom may be beneficial.

    Abstract The ripeness of tomatoes is crucial to determining their shelf life and quality. Most of the current methods for picking and sorting tomatoes take a long time, so this paper aims to design a device for sorting tomatoes based on force and bioelectrical impedance measurement. A force sensor installed on each of its four fingers may be used as an impedance measurement electrode. When picking tomatoes, the electrical impedance analysis circuit is first connected for pre-grasping. By applying a certain pre-tightening force, the FSR sensor on the end effector finger can be tightly attached to the tomato and establish an electric current pathway. Then, the electrical parameters of the tomato are measured to determine its maturity, and some of the electrical parameters are used for force monitoring compensation. Then, a force analysis is conducted to consider the resistance of the FSR under current stress. According to the principle of complex impedance circuit voltage division, the voltage signal on the tomato is determined. At the same time, the specific value of the grasping force at this time is determined based on the calibration of the pre-experiment and the compensation during the detection process, achieving real-time detection of the grasping force. The bioelectricity parameters of tomatoes can not only judge the ripeness of tomatoes, but also compensate for the force measurement stage to achieve more accurate non-destructive sorting. The experimental results showed that within 0.6 s of stable grasping, this system could complete tomato ripeness detection, improve the overall tomato sorting efficiency, and achieve 95% accuracy in identifying ripeness through impedance.

    Abstract Cascade hydropower (CHP) is widely used to increase the integration of photovoltaic (PV) power in recent years. However, the randomness and variability of PV power output might cause power imbalances between generation plan and integrated power of complementary systems. It is crucial to provide robust day-ahead schemes to ensure sufficient adjustment capability of CHPs. In this paper, a day-ahead dispatch model is established for the CHP-PV complementary system to address the PV uncertainties based on the two-stage robust optimization approach. The uncertain PV power output is described by an ambiguity set without accurate probabilistic information. Two different stages in the dispatch model are integrated into a holistic optimization problem. In the first stage, the day-ahead startup/shutdown and operation zone schemes for CHP are determined. In the second stage, the re-dispatch problem is performed to compensate for PV power fluctuations and minimize water consumption. The nested column-and-constraint generation (NC&CG) algorithm is employed as the exact solution methodology. Simulation studies based on a system in southwest China are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed dispatch model and the solution algorithm. The numerical results show that the robust solution can accommodate various scenarios of PV power output and the power imbalance can always be reduced.

    Abstract Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are widely recognized as the foundation for machine vision systems. The conventional rule of teaching CNNs to understand images requires training images with human annotated labels, without any additional instructions. In this article, we look into a new scope and explore the guidance from text for neural network training. We present two versions of attention mechanisms to facilitate interactions between visual and semantic information and encourage CNNs to effectively distill visual features by leveraging semantic features. In contrast to dedicated text-image joint embedding methods, our method realizes asynchronous training and inference behavior: a trained model can classify images, irrespective of the text availability. This characteristic substantially improves the model scalability to multiple (multimodal) vision tasks. We also apply the proposed method onto medical imaging, which learns from richer clinical knowledge and achieves attention-based interpretable decision-making. With comprehensive validation on two natural and two medical datasets, we demonstrate that our method can effectively make use of semantic knowledge to improve CNN performance. Our method performs substantial improvement on medical image datasets. Meanwhile, it achieves promising performance for multi-label image classification and caption-image retrieval as well as excellent performance for phrase-based and multi-object localization on public benchmarks.
