    Abstract Chrome-free leather manufacturing has been acknowledged as a desirable option to eliminate potential environmental and human health risks of conventional chrome tanning. This work applied a sequential bridging-induced densification strategy to produce high-performance chrome-free leather with high crosslinking density derived from the biomass-derived aldehyde (BAT) crosslinking (BAT tanning of leather), followed by terminal Al(III) crosslinking (TAC). The TAC conditions for BAT tanned leather were optimized and the results suggested that the optimized conditions were as follows: the fixation pH was 4.2, the pre-penetration time was 180 min, the fixation temperature was 40 °C, and the dosage of the aluminum tanning agent (ATA) was 0.5% (based on Al

    Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal malignant disease with a low 5-year overall survival rate. It is the third-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. The lack of robust therapeutics, absence of effective biomarkers for early detection, and aggressive nature of the tumor contribute to the high mortality rate of PDAC. Notably, the outcomes of recent immunotherapy and targeted therapy against PDAC remain unsatisfactory, indicating the need for novel therapeutic strategies. One of the newly described molecular features of PDAC is the altered expression of protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs). PRMTs are a group of enzymes known to methylate arginine residues in both histone and non-histone proteins, thereby mediating cellular homeostasis in biological systems. Some of the PRMT enzymes are known to be overexpressed in PDAC that promotes tumor progression and chemo-resistance via regulating gene transcription, cellular metabolic processes, RNA metabolism, and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT). Small-molecule inhibitors of PRMTs are currently under clinical trials and can potentially become a new generation of anti-cancer drugs. This review aims to provide an overview of the current understanding of PRMTs in PDAC, focusing on their pathological roles and their potential as new therapeutic targets.

Under the optimized conditions, the resultant BAT-TAC crust leather exhibited favorable overall performances compared with BAT crust leather in terms of higher hydrothermal stability, mechanical strengths, more pleasant uniform color, and comparable smooth grain surface. The obtained high-performance chrome-free leather is scalable, providing an avenue for designing and rationalizing other engineering technology towards high-performance eco-leather production.

    Abstract Attitude determination involves the integration of methodologies and systems for estimating the time varying attitude of moving objects. Strapdown Inertial Attitude Measurement System (SIAMS) is among the most widely used navigation systems. The development of cost effective Micro Electro Mechanic System (MEMS) based inertial sensors has made attitude measurement system more affordable. However, MEMS sensors suffer from various errors that have to be calibrated and compensated to get acceptable attitude results. Given the auto-compensation of inertial sensor bias in rotation error modulation, the objective of this paper is to develop a MEMS-based rotary SIAMS, in which the significant sensor bias is automatically compensated by rotating the IMU, to offer comparable performance with respect to a tactical-grade Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). With the analysis of the relationship between the MEMS error and misalignment, a MEMS calibration model is derived, and a combined calibration method of multi position rotation is applied to estimate the deterministic sensor errors such as bias, scale factor, and misalignment. Simulation and experiment results indicate that the proposed method can further modulate and compensate the MEMS errors, thereby improving the MEMS attitude accuracy.

    Abstract Squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid (SCCT) is a rare thyroid gland malignancy, with only a few hundred cases reported in the literature, mostly as case reports or small sample studies. In the previous WHO classification, squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid was defined as a carcinoma composed entirely of squamous cells without differentiated carcinoma components. It was once included in the WHO tumor classification separately. However, the 2022 WHO classification of squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid was reclassified as a morphologic subtype of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC). The squamous cell carcinoma pattern is similar to the other histologic types of ATC, but the phenotype associated has a poorer prognosis. The typical clinical manifestation of this condition is a cervical mass, accompanied by indications and symptoms of compression on adjacent structures such as the esophagus and trachea in advanced stages. Secondary squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid may occur due to the spread of squamous carcinoma of the larynx or esophagus or distant metastases from other sites. Diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid includes neck Ultrasound (US), Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), puncture tissue biopsy, and full endoscopy to identify metastatic lesions from the nasopharynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx, larynx, esophagus, or bronchi and to help with the initial staging of the tumor. Current treatment modalities include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or a combination. Because of the poor prognosis of patients with this disease, the short survival period, usually less than one year, and the difficulty of preoperative diagnosis, this article reviews the epidemiological features, origin, clinical features, pathological features, and differential diagnosis to improve the diagnosis and treatment of this disease by clinicians.

    Abstract Low-light object detection is an important research area in computer vision, but it is also a difficult issue. This research offers a low-light target detection network, NLE-YOLO, based on YOLOV5, to address the issues of insufficient illumination and noise interference experienced by target detection tasks in low-light environments. The network initially preprocesses the input image with an improvement technique before suppressing high-frequency noise and enhancing essential information with C2fLEFEM, a unique feature extraction module. We also created a multi-scale feature extraction module, AMC2fLEFEM, and an attention mechanism receptive field module, AMRFB, which are utilized to extract features of multiple scales and enhance the receptive field. The C2fLEFEM module, in particular, merges the LEF and FEM modules on top of the C2f module. The LEF module employs a low-frequency filter to remove high-frequency noise; the FEM module employs dual inputs to fuse low-frequency enhanced and original features; and the C2f module employs a gradient retention method to minimize information loss. The AMC2fLEFEM module combines the SimAM attention mechanism and uses the pixel relationship to obtain features of different receptive fields, adapt to brightness changes, capture the difference between the target and the background, improve the network's feature extraction capability, and effectively reduce the impact of noise. The AMRFB module employs atrous convolution to enlarge the receptive field, maintain global information, and adjust to targets of various scales. Finally, for low-light settings, we replaced the original YOLOv5 detection head with a decoupled head. The Exdark dataset experiments show that our method outperforms previous methods in terms of detection accuracy and performance.

    Abstract Highly accurate protein structure prediction can generate accurate models of protein and protein-protein complexes in X-ray crystallography. However, the question of how to make more effective use of predicted models for completing structure analysis, and which strategies should be employed for the more challenging cases such as multi-helical structures, multimeric structures and extremely large structures, both in the model preparation and in the completion steps, remains open for discussion. In this paper, a new strategy is proposed based on the framework of direct methods and dual-space iteration, which can greatly simplify the pre-processing steps of predicted models both in normal and in challenging cases. Following this strategy, full-length models or the conservative structural domains could be used directly as the starting model, and the phase error and the model bias between the starting model and the real structure would be modified in the direct-methods-based dual-space iteration. Many challenging cases (from CASP14) have been tested for the general applicability of this constructive strategy, and almost complete models have been generated with reasonable statistics. The hybrid strategy therefore provides a meaningful scheme for X-ray structure determination using a predicted model as the starting point.

    Abstract With the rapid growth in the global population and the accelerating pace of urbanization, researching and developing novel strategies for biomass utilization is significant due to its potential for use in renewable energy, climate change mitigation, waste management, and sustainable agriculture. In this environmental context, this review discusses the recent advances in biomass conversion technologies for biochar production, including the first carbonization process and the subsequent activation methods of the biochar derived from lignocellulosic biomass (LBC). Parallel to this, this review deals with other essential parameters in biochar production, such as feedstock types, reaction environments, and operating conditions in the pyrolysis process, to determine the production and composition of LBC. Moreover, the wide-ranging applications of LBC in areas such as adsorption, catalysts, and energy storage are discussed, offering sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives while reducing reliance on traditional energy sources and mineral resources, thereby providing practical solutions to environmental and energy challenges. Overall, this review not only provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of different LBC preparation methods, but also facilitates a deeper understanding of the advantages and limitations of these methodologies when it comes to developing high-value materials for sustainable applications.
