    Abstract Wave energy has a higher potential than most of the available ocean energy resources; however, it fluctuates dramatically depending on geographical and temporal baselines. The complexity of wave energy is only exacerbated by that fact that the cycle of creation, transport, and disappearance of wave energy is influenced by a wide variety of factors. This Special Issue of Energies explores the latest developments in wave energy potential, behavior, and extraction. This Special Issue introduces 1) thorough reviews on the status of wave energy development, 2) novel technologies to extract wave energy including wave energy converter design, and 3) latest methodologies applied in analyzing wave energy potentials

    Abstract As a crucial component of child development, maternal-infant attachment influences a child's cognitive, psychological, and social development. Maternal depression, anxiety, stress, and social support have been identified as risk factors for poor maternal-infant attachment in some studies, while others did not find such relationships. The aim of this study was to examine the associations of maternal-infant attachment with depression, anxiety, affective instability, stress, social support, and other variables in a community sample of Canadian postpartum women. A total of 108 Canadian postpartum women participated in this cross-sectional study. The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) assessed depression, anxiety, and stress, and the Affective lability Scale-18 measured affective instability (AI). Multiple linear regression was conducted to examine the association between maternal-infant attachment and other variables. The findings revealed a significant association of maternal-infant attachment with postpartum depression, and infant temperament, while anxiety, AI, stress, and social support were not identified as predictors for maternal-infant attachment. The results implicate the importance of addressing maternal depression and maternal-infant attachment, consequently decreasing the risk for childhood psychopathology.

    Abstract Background: Although perinatal women experience an elevated level of affective instability (AI), limited research has been conducted to examine perinatal AI and its relation to depression and anxiety. The current study investigated correlations between AI and depression, between AI and anxiety during the perinatal period, and between current depression and anxiety and the latent factors of the Affective Lability Scale-18 (ALS-18).
    Methods: 202 Canadian perinatal women participated in this cross-sectional study. The ALS-18 was used to assess AI, while the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 measured depression, anxiety, and stress. Multiple logistic regression was performed to investigate the relationship between AI and depression and anxiety, and multiple linear regression was conducted to examine the association between current depression and anxiety and the three latent factors of ALS-18.
    Results: The findings revealed a significant association between AI and depression and between AI and anxiety. Current depression and anxiety were correlated with ALS-18 factors of depression/anxiety shift and depression/elation shift, while current depression was linked to ALS-18 factor of anger.
    Conclusions: The study findings have important implications for early detection and intervention of maternal anxiety and depression. In order to improve maternal mental health, AI should be included in routine perinatal check-ups.

    Abstract Magnetogastrogram (MGG) signal frequency is about 0.05 Hz, the low-frequency environmental noise interference is serious and can be several times stronger in magnitude than the signals of interest and may severely impede the extraction of relevant information. Wiener filter is one classic denoising solution for biomagnetic applications. Since the reference channels are usually placed not far enough from the biomagnetic sources under test, they will inevitably detect the signals and the Wiener filters may produce ill-conditioned solutions. Considering the solutions to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of Wiener filter output, there are few methods to separate the signals from the noises of the reference signal at the filter input. In this paper, a new signal processing framework called signal-noise separation based Wiener filter (SNSWF) is proposed that it separates the main noise as the input signal of the filter to improve the output SNR of Wiener filter. The filter was successfully applied to the noise suppression for MGG signal detection. Using the SNSWF, the filter SNR is 16.7 dB better than the classic Wiener filter.

    Abstract Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common female malignancies. This study explored the underlying mechanism through which the two plant compounds (Brucaine D and Narclasine) inhibited the proliferation of breast cancer cells.
    Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of Brucaine D and Narclasine on breast cancer development and their potential drug targets.
    Methods: GSE85871 dataset containing 212 samples and the hallmark gene set "h.all.v2023.1.Hs.symbols.gmt" were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and the Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB) database, respectively. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to classify clusters showing similar gene expression pattern. Single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was used to calculate the hallmark score for different drug treatment groups. The expressions of genes related to angiogenesis, glycolysis and cell cycle were detected. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis was performed to study the interaction of the hub genes. Then, HERB database was employed to identify potential target genes for Narclasine and Bruceine D. Finally, in vitro experiments were conducted to validate partial drug-target pair.
    Results: PCA analysis showed that the significant changes in gene expression patterns took place in 6 drugs treatment groups (Narciclasine, Bruceine D, Japonicone A, 1beta-hydroxyalatolactone, Britanin, and four mixture drugs) in comparison to the remaining drug treatment groups. The ssGSEA pathway enrichment analysis demonstrated that Narciclasine and Bruceine treatments had similar enriched pathways, for instance, suppressed pathways related to angiogenesis, Glycolysis, and cell cycle, etc.. Further gene expression analysis confirmed that Narciclasine and Bruceine had a strong ability to inhibit these cell cycle genes, and that MYC, CHEK2, MELK, CDK4 and EZH2 were closely interacted with each other in the PPI analysis. Drug target prediction revealed that Androgen Receptor (AR) and Estrogen Receptor 1 (ESR1) were the targets for Bruceine D, and Cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme (CYP3A4) was the target for Narciclasine. Cell experiments also confirmed the connections between Narciclasine and CYP3A4.
    Conclusion: The present study uncovered that Narciclasine and Bruceine D could inhibit the growth of breast cancer and also predicted the potential targets for these two drugs, providing a new therapeutic direction for breast cancer patients.

    Abstract Strawberry is a popular soft fruit worldwide due to its attractive appearance, aroma and nutritional value. However, strawberry fruit are highly susceptible to postharvest fungal infection, primarily caused by Botrytis cinerea. Breeding resistant strawberry genotypes is extremely challenging due to 1) the polygenic nature of resistance; 2) the octoploid genome structure of cultivated strawberry; 3) the functional redundancy of pathogenicity factors released by B. cinerea. Nevertheless, susceptibility is a quantitative trait which allows breeding for less susceptible genotypes resulting from the combination of certain physical and chemical characteristics of strawberry.In this thesis, I aimed to explore the roles of physical and chemical characteristics of strawberry fruit (e.g., color, firmness, volatile compounds and soluble sugars) in susceptibility to B. cinerea and identify characteristics that could potentially serve as markers to assist in breeding for strawberry genotypes with reduced susceptibility.To achieve these goals, I studied the subject from two angles. The first angle was at the genetic level, where I identified the association between the natural spoilage of strawberry genotypes and their metabolite profiles (Chapter 2). The second angle was to evaluate how fruit susceptibility was affected by pre- (Chapter 3) or postharvest (Chapters 4&5) practices and then to investigate the underlying physiological and metabolic characteristics that are associated with the trait.In chapter 2, we aimed to characterize the association between shelf life and physical and chemical characteristics in strawberry fruit. Seventeen genotypes were selected based on contrasting flavor, color, firmness, and shelf life. Physical characteristics (e.g., weight, color, firmness) and certain primary (e.g., soluble sugars, organic acids) and secondary metabolites (e.g., proanthocyanins, anthocyanins, volatiles) of red-ripe strawberries at harvest were determined and the spoilage during the storage was assessed. The ...
