Correlated double sampling (CDS) circuits are essential to processing the X-ray charge-coupled devices (CCDs) that have been used in the modern X-ray astronomical field. For spectroscopy observations, the energy resolution is of decisive importance. In this paper, a comprehensive study of the CDS algorithm based on the incremental Delta Sigma...
This study investigated potential application of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in depuration for
reducing Vibrio parahaemolyticus in oysters. Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 8014, which
exhibited strong bactericidal effects against V. parahaemolyticus in vitro, was added to artificial
seawater for depuration of Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) inoculated with V.
parahaemolyticus BE 98-2029...
A fundamental debate exists regarding the geometry and depth extent of seismogenic faults in eastern Tibet. Along the Longmen Shan, geologic and seismic reflection data reveal a belt of low to moderate angle thrust faults, some of which may have been activated in devastating earthquakes in 2008 (Mw ~7.9, Wenchuan)...
Consumption of raw oysters has been linked to several outbreaks of Vibrio parahaemolyticus
infection in the United States. This study investigated effects of ice storage and UV-sterilized
seawater depuration at various temperatures on reducing V. parahaemolyticus in oysters. Raw
Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) were inoculated with a mixed culture of...
In this paper, we consider an upscaled model describing the multiscale flow of a single-phase incompressible fluid and transport of a dissolved chemical by advection and diffusion through a heterogeneous porous medium. Unlike traditional homogenization or volume averaging techniques, we do not assume a good separation of scales. The new...
Na-ion batteries are emerging as one of the most promising energy storage technologies, particularly for grid-level applications. Among anode candidate materials, hard carbon is very attractive due to its high capacity and low cost. However, hard carbon anodes often suffer a low first-cycle Coulombic efficiency and fast capacity fading. In...

The aerobic biotransformation pathways of 4:2, 6:2, and 8:2 fluorotelomer thioether amido sulfonate (FtTAoS) were characterized by determining the fate of the compounds in soil and medium microcosms amended with an aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) solution. The biotransformation of FtTAoS occurred in live microcosms over approximately 40 days and produced...

Retraction fibers (RFs) determine orientation of the cell division axis and guide the spreading of daughter cells. Long and unidirectional RFs, which are especially apparent during mitosis of cells in three-dimensional (3D) environments, enable improved control over cell fate, following division. However, 3D gel environments lack the cues necessary for...
Only two genome-wide significant loci associated with longevity have been identified so far, probably because of insufficient sample sizes of centenarians, whose genomes may harbor genetic variants associated with health and longevity. Here we report a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of Han Chinese with a sample size 2.7 times the...
