The maximum saturation temperature can reach 153 °C within 10 s at an input voltage of 4.0 V. Furthermore, the saturation temperature of THs has not changed significantly after 1000 bending cycles with a curvature radius of 0.5 mm, demonstrating excellent mechanical flexibility. In particular, the THs possess environmental endurance, and no significant deterioration in performance can be found after exposure to high humidity (relative humidity: 85%) and ultraviolet ozone (254 and 185 nm) irradiation for 10 h, which is attributed to the protective role provided by the covering of ZnO shells on the Ag NWs. These outstanding parameters make the fabricated THs to be promising for application in wearable systems, medical thermotherapy pads and industrial defrosters.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":646,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics","volume":"36 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143877751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address class imbalance, SMOTE is applied. Appropriate hyper-parameter tuning is required to generate a better system with a classifier. So, we adjusted the hyper-parameters of various models and used the adjusted parameters to train the model. We tuned hyper-parameters using OPTUNA. Internal and external validation were used to confirm the models’ performance. According to the results, the model’s internal validation accuracy and AUC using the random forest approach were 88.6% and 93.2%. For external validation, the model’s accuracy value using random forest and Gradient Boosting Classifier were 92.2% with AUC 97%.

A constitutive model of the soil was proposed with defined parameters, and it was reported to perform well in the prediction of the deformation increment and strength reduction due to drying-wetting cycles. The potential slip surface was shown to be a key component of characterizing the full-process deformation of a slope and to exhibit the displacement compatibility trend in which the relative horizontal displacement along the potential slip surface was equal at various locations. A slope deformation analysis algorithm was derived to analyze the shear deformation characteristics of potential slip surfaces and the volumetric deformation characteristics of sliding bodies subjected to drying-wetting cycles. The proposed method was validated by comparing the predicted slope deformation characteristics with centrifuge model test and field observation results under drying-wetting cycles.

Millions of people around the world are affected by poor wound healing, causing increased mortality rates and related costs. Immedicable wounds are a health problem because they directly affect the person’s standard of living and produce an ultimatum to the health of people and the international economy because of the expensive medical treatment. Other schemes/approaches must be designed to achieve productive and therapeutic results. In this context, the emergence of Nano biotechnology may provide another manifesto to produce latest drugs for long-term treatment processes. This article shows that the implementation of metal nanoparticles (Au and Ag) has unbolted a brand-new gateway in the discipline of eco-friendly medicine due to their unique properties such as medicine transportation, antimicrobial activity and quick recovery. Moreover, metal nanoparticles (NPs) manufactured by green synthesis not only add the effects of nanoparticles and plant extracts but also reduce toxicity to tissues and make their use safer. In the present work, Ag and Au nanoparticles were synthesized using an aqueous seed extract of <i>Cichorium intybus</i> and their wound healing ability was assessed by performing in-vivo wound healing activity on albino mice. Till now there is no study available on the in-vivo wound healing potential of Ag and Au nanoparticles using <i>Cichorium intybus</i>. This is the first study ever to assess the ability of <i>Cichorium intybus</i> seed extract and its metal nanoparticles (AgNPs &amp; AuNPs) to promote wound healing in animals which shows its uniqueness and novelty. The results displayed augmented and quicker wound closure with Ag as compared to the Au nanoparticles, polyfax and simple plant extract in a 21-day research work. These results illustrated that eco-friendly prepared nanoparticles provide a prominent approach to fight with the bacteria resistant against combination therapy without any lethal affair. Environment-friendly NPs declared to be the low-cost best treatment for the faster recovery of wounds.

We identified a significant upregulation of centromere protein M (CENPM) in NSCLC tissues, which was positively correlated with poor prognosis. Furthermore, overexpression of CENPM markedly promoted cell proliferation and increased the tumorigenic potential of NSCLC cell lines (A549/NCI-H1299), leading to accelerated tumor progression and reduced survival time in tumor-bearing mice. Mechanistically, CENPM activated the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway via the cell division cycle 20 (CDC20)/MYB proto-oncogene-like 2 (MYBL2) axis. Inhibition of either Wnt signaling or the CDC20/MYBL2 axis attenuated the tumorigenic potential and proliferative effects induced by CENPM.

Control measures rely on containment and replanting with resistant cultivars. Endophytic bacteria, including <i>Methylobacterium</i> spp., have shown potential in mitigating vascular diseases. These facultative methylotrophic bacteria inhabit xylem vessels and compete with pathogens like <i>Xfp</i> by producing siderophores that limit iron availability.</p><h3>Results</h3><p>Analysis of endophytic bacterial populations in olive trees identified <i>Methylobacterium</i> spp. in both healthy and <i>Xfp</i>-infected plants, with variable isolation frequencies. Molecular identification based on 16S rDNA and <i>mxaF</i> gene sequences classified isolates as <i>M. radiotolerans</i> (70%) and <i>M. mesophilicum</i> (30%). Phylogenetic analysis showed limited genetic variation, clustering isolates with reference strains. In vitro experiments revealed that culture supernatants from <i>Methylobacterium</i> spp., grown in siderophore-inducing media, affected <i>Xfp</i> growth in a concentration-dependent manner. At low concentrations (up to 2%), supernatants stimulated <i>Xfp</i> growth, while higher concentrations (20% and 50%) inhibited growth.
