    Abstract Several studies have worked on co-clustering analysis of spatio-temporal data. However, most of them search for co-clusters with similar values and are unable to identify co-clusters with coherent trends, defined as exhibiting similar tendencies in the attributes. In this study, we present the Bregman co-clustering algorithm with minimum sum-squared residue (BCC_MSSR), which uses the residue to quantify coherent trends and enables the identification of co-clusters with coherent trends in geo-referenced time series. Dutch monthly temperatures over 20 years at 28 stations were used as the case study dataset. Station-clusters, month-clusters, and co-clusters in the BCC_MSSR results were showed and compared with co-clusters of similar values. A total of 112 co-clusters with different temperature variations were identified in the Results, and 16 representative co-clusters were illustrated, and seven types of coherent temperature trends were summarized: (1) increasing; (2) decreasing; (3) first increasing and then decreasing; (4) first decreasing and then increasing; (5) first increasing, then decreasing, and finally increasing; (6) first decreasing, then increasing, and finally decreasing; and (7) first decreasing, then increasing, decreasing, and finally increasing. Comparisons with co-clusters of similar values show that BCC_MSSR explored coherent spatio-temporal patterns in regions and certain time periods. However, the selection of the suitable co-clustering methods depends on the objective of specific tasks.

    Abstract This study assesses the suitability of the two-stream microwave emission model in simulating brightness temperature (TBᵖ) and retrieving liquid water content (θₗᵢq) at L-band in combination with the four-phase dielectric model for both thawed and frozen soil. Both single (SCA) and double (DCA) channel algorithms are adopted using both ground-based ELBARA-III and spaceborne SMAP measurements conducted in a Tibetan grassland site. The ELBARA-III measured TBᵖ are smaller than the SMAP measurements in the warm season due to a lower value of average θₗᵢq presented within the ELBARA-III footprint. The two-stream emission model configured with SMAP vegetation and surface roughness parameterization underestimates both ELBARA-III and SMAP measured TBᵖ at horizontal polarization in the cold season, and overestimates the vertical polarized measurements (TBⱽ) in the warm season. Implementation of a new surface roughness and vegetation parameterization resolves above deficiency, and the simulations capture better large-scale SMAP measurements in comparison to these performed for the ELBARA-III footprint. The dynamics of in situ θₗᵢq are better reproduced by retrievals using the SCA based on TBⱽ measurements (SCA-V), whereby the SCA-V retrievals using the SMAP ascending overpass measurements shows the best results with an unbiased root-mean-square error (ubRMSE) of 0.035 m³ m⁻³ that outperforms the SMAP mission specification.

    Abstract Macrophages, the predominant immune cells in the lungs, play a pivotal role in maintaining the delicate balance of the pulmonary immune microenvironment. However, in chronic inflammatory lung diseases and lung cancer, macrophage phenotypes undergo distinct transitions, with M1-predominant macrophages promoting inflammatory damage and M2-predominant macrophages fostering cancer progression. Exosomes, as critical mediators of intercellular signaling and substance exchange, participate in pathological reshaping of macrophages during development of pulmonary inflammatory diseases and lung cancer. Specifically, in inflammatory lung diseases, exosomes promote the pro-inflammatory phenotype of macrophages, suppress the anti-inflammatory phenotype, and subsequently, exosomes released by reshaped macrophages further exacerbate inflammatory damage. In cancer, exosomes promote pro-tumor tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs); inhibit anti-tumor TAMs; and exosomes released by TAMs further enhance tumor proliferation, metastasis, and resistance to chemotherapy. Simultaneously, exosomes exhibit a dual role, holding the potential to transmit immune-modulating molecules and load therapeutic agents and offering prospects for restoring immune dysregulation in macrophages during chronic inflammatory lung diseases and lung cancer. In chronic inflammatory lung diseases, this is manifested by exosomes reshaping anti-inflammatory macrophages, inhibiting pro-inflammatory macrophages, and alleviating inflammatory damage post-reshaping. In lung cancer, exosomes reshape anti-tumor macrophages, inhibit pro-tumor macrophages, and reshaped macrophages secrete exosomes that suppress lung cancer development. Looking ahead, efficient and targeted exosome-based therapies may emerge as a promising direction for treatment of pulmonary diseases.

    Abstract For the textile industry, fabric defect detection is an important part of production. In order to make the automatic fabric defect detection system used in production sites, this article proposes a lightweight algorithm Lightweight Single Shot Multi-Box Detector (LW-SSD) to address the issues of low detection accuracy, high computational complexity, and difficulty in deploying on hardware devices with limited computing power in fabric defect detection. Firstly, MobileNetv3 is introduced as the backbone network to reduce the number of model parameters. Secondly, in the feature fusion module, down-sampling stacking is used to fuse the feature maps processed by maximum pooling and regular 3 × 3 convolution, respectively, to enhance the generalization and small target feature extraction capability of the network. Then, the dilated convolution is incorporated into the Inceptionv3 to form a multi-branch parallel dilated convolution module, which can expand the receptive field of the feature layer and enhance the extraction of the target information. Finally, a dual-channel attention module is added, which adds the maximum pooling operation based on the efficient channel attention for deep convolutional neural networks (ECA) channel attention mechanism to highlight defect features and suppress background noise features. The experiments show that the accuracy of the system is improved while maintaining the faster detection speed. Among them, the LW-SSD algorithm has an accuracy improvement of 10.03% on the self-made dataset, a reduction of 58% in the number of model parameters compared to the Single Shot Multi-Box Detector (SSD) algorithm, and the detection speed reaches 48 frames per second.

    Abstract L-band passive microwave remote sensing (RS) is an important tool for monitoring global soil moisture (SM) and freeze/thaw state. In recent years, progress has been made in its in-depth application and development in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) which has a complex natural environment. This paper systematically reviews and summarizes the research progress and the main applications of L-band passive microwave RS observations and associated SM retrievals on the TP. The progress of observing and simulating L-band emission based on ground-, aircraft-based and spaceborne platforms, developing regional-scale SM observation networks, as well as validating satellite-based SM products and developing SM retrieval algorithms are reviewed. On this basis, current problems of L-band emission simulation and SM retrieval on the TP are outlined, such as the fact that current evaluations of SM products are limited to a short-term period, and evaluation and improvement of the forward land emission model and SM retrieval algorithm are limited to the site or grid scale. Accordingly, relevant suggestions and prospects for addressing the abovementioned existing problems are finally put forward. For future work, we suggest (i) sorting out the in situ observations and conducting long-term trend evaluation and analysis of current L-band SM products, (ii) extending current progress made at the site/grid scale to improve the L-band emission simulation and SM retrieval algorithms and products for both frozen and thawed ground at the plateau scale, and (iii) enhancing the application of L-band satellite-based SM products on the TP by implementing methods such as data assimilation to improve the understanding of plateau-scale water cycle and energy balance.

    Abstract The cultural landscape in traditional settlements is an important historical and cultural resource created by human beings in the process of historical evolution, and is an important resource for the development of traditional settlement tourism. This paper selected 21 representative traditional settlements for research using online comments from tourists as data and content analytical methods including high-frequency vocabulary, semantic networks and emotional attitudes to explore the public perspective on the connotations of cultural landscape features in traditional settlements. There are four major findings, showing first that the cultural landscape of traditional settlements contains three core elements. Second, the semantic network relationships of the core elements show a significant central-edge tendency; and third, the emotional perception of cultural landscapes in traditional settlements is generally positive, and there is no significant difference emotionally between each core element. Last, the public's perception of the cultural connotations of the landscape is seriously insufficient. Based on the research results, planning suggestions and countermeasures for the conservation and utilization of cultural landscapes in traditional settlements are proposed.

    Abstract Ligand-decorated metal surfaces play a pivotal role in various areas of chemistry, particularly in selective catalysis. Molecular dynamics simulations at the molecular mechanics level of theory are best adapted to gain complementary insights to experiments regarding the structure and dynamics of such organic films. However, standard force fields tend to capture only weak physisorption interactions. This is inadequate for ligands that are strongly adsorbed such as carboxylates on metal surfaces. To address this limitation, we employ the Gaussian Lennard-Jones (GLJ) potential, which incorporates an attractive Gaussian potential between the surface and ligand atoms. Here, we develop this approach for the interaction between cobalt surfaces and carboxylate ligands. The accuracy of the GLJ approach is validated through the analysis of the interaction of oxygen with two distinct cobalt surfaces. The accuracy of this method reaches a root mean square deviation (RMSD) of about 3 kcal/mol across all probed configurations, which corresponds to a percentage error of roughly 4%. Application of the GLJ force field to the dynamics of the organic layer on these surfaces reveals how the ligand concentration influences the film order, and highlights differing mobility in the x and y directions, attributable to surface corrugation on Co(112̄0). GLJ is versatile, suitable for a broad range of metal/ligand systems, and can, subsequently, be utilized to study the organic film on the adsorption/desorption of reactants and products during a catalytic process.

    Abstract Preimplantation genetic testing is an important part in assisted reproductive technology, which can block the intergenerational inheritance of single gene or chromosomal diseases. Preimplantation genetic testing for polygenic disease risk (PGT-P) is the latest development in the field. It is known that polygenic diseases usually have the characteristics of high incidence, late onset, affecting the quality of life and mental health of patients. On the basis of the development of artificial intelligence and genetic detection technology, PGT-P can analyze genetic material, calculate polygenic risk score turning into incidence probability. Embryos with relatively low incidence probability can be screened for transfer, so as to reduce the possibility of offspring suffering from the disease in the future, which has significant clinical and social significance. At present, PGT-P has been applied clinically and made phased progress at home and abroad. At the same time, as a developing technology, PGT-P still has some technical defects, unstable results, environmental influences and racial differences cannot be ruled out. From the perspective of ethics, if the screening indications are not strictly regulated, it is likely to cause new social problems. In this paper, we review the technical composition and recent progress of PGT-P, and put forward the prospect of its future development, especially how to establish a complete and suitable screening model for Chinese population.

    Abstract Purpose of review: This review aims to deliver expert insights on the current advances and challenges in managing malnutrition in aged care settings, with a specific emphasis on the interaction between dysphagia and diet.
    Recent findings: Several reviews identify the high prevalence of dysphagia in aged care facilities and highlight the correlation between dysphagia and malnutrition. Recent studies underscore the importance of nutrition and cancer screening and assessment, yet highlight the lack of consensus on the definitive tools to be used. There is a growth in employing innovative implementations for enhancing swallowing function and optimizing texture-modified foods.
    Summary: Early identification and strategic interventions are vital for managing malnutrition and dysphagia in aged care facilities, as these conditions are widespread and lead to a higher risk of complications. Although nutritional strategies have shown potential in enhancing oral intake for residents requiring texture-modified foods, lack of investigation on functional outcomes and long-term impact have been highlighted, emphasizing the need for continued research and development of effective assessment tools and targeted interventions to optimize the care for this at-risk group.

    Abstract Multiheme cytochromes (MHCs) have attracted much interest for use in nanobioelectronic junctions due to their high electronic conductances. Recent measurements on dry MHC junctions suggested that a coherent tunneling mechanism is operative over surprisingly long long distances (>3 nm), which challenges our understanding of coherent transport phenomena. Here we show that this is due to (i) a low exponential distance decay constant for coherent conduction in MHCs (β = 0.2 Å
