Impact of non-agricultural experience on new farmers’ participation in e-commerce in China: A mediation analysis based on business conditions
In recent years, new farmers returning from non-agricultural sectors have become an important force in promoting the development of China's agricultural e-commerce. By studying the impact mechanism of...
Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of phenylisoxazole-based histone deacetylase inhibitors
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) mediate the removal of acetyl groups from lysine residues in both histone and non-histone proteins, and have been regarded as promising targets for drug discovery. As a ce...
Regional differences in the distribution of melanocyte-containing hair bulbs in the skin of male albino rats
Hair gets its color from melanin produced by melanocytes in the hair matrix. The coloration patterns observed in most terrestrial mammals arise from the diverse color combinations within their fur, wh...

Potential implications of rising sea level on American Horseshoe Crab (Limulus polyphemus) spawning beaches in two Florida counties
Coastlines support a diversity of wildlife and are used as spawning sites for many species. Though, as sea levels rise, many coastlines will be inundated, affecting species that live or nest in these...
Evaluation of post-keratoplasty status with a portable and smartphone-attachable smart eye camera
Purpose To evaluate the efficacy of the smart eye camera (SEC), a portable smartphone-attachable camera, in assessing eyes following lamellar corneal transplantation....
Analysis of clothing pressure based on material of virtually-fitted swimsuits and wearer body type and movement using 3D fashion design software
This study aimed to evaluate and compare the clothing pressure of adult women’s full-body swimsuits based on body type, swimming posture, and fabric material. By using the CLO 3D virtual fitting syste...
A joint complex network and machine learning approach for the identification of discriminative gene communities in autistic brain
Autism is a genetically and clinically very heterogeneous group of disorders. Gene co-expression network analysis can help unravel its complex genetic architecture through the identification of commun...
Root cause analysis of accidents and examining their interrelations from the perspective of workers, supervisors, and safety officers
Identifying the root causes of accidents and analyzing their causal relationships is a fundamental step in designing effective preventive strategies. This study aimed to uncover the root causes of min...
Deep learning-based automated detection of supernumerary teeth in pediatric panoramic radiographs
Introduction Supernumerary teeth are a common developmental anomaly in pediatric patients, potentially leading to complications such as impaction, crowding, and delayed eruption. A...
