The influence of alfalfa fiber level 28, 54 and 74% in diets on
the proximate compositions, pH and water-holding capacity of raw and
cooked rabbit meat were investigated.
Preslaughter live weight, percent dress weight and percent
abdominal fat of rabbits fed 54% alfalfa fiber diet were
significantly higher and total...
The Laplace-Beltrami operator of a smooth Riemannian manifold is determined by the Riemannian metric. Conversely, the heat kernel constructed from the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator determines the Riemannian metric. This work proves the analogy on Euclidean polyhedral surfaces (triangle meshes), that the discrete heat kernel and the...
Ricci flow deforms the Riemannian metric proportionally to the curvature, such that the curvature evolves according to a heat diffusion process and eventually becomes constant everywhere. Ricci flow has demonstrated its great potential by solving various problems in many fields, which can be hardly handled by alternative methods so far....
The heterogeneous reactions of ambient particulate matter (PM)-bound polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitro-PAHs (NPAHs) with NO₃/N₂O₅, OH radicals, and O₃
were studied in a laboratory photochemical chamber. Ambient PM[subscript 2.5] and PM₁₀ samples were
collected from Beijing, China and Riverside, California, and exposed under simulated
atmospheric long-range transport conditions...

In recent years, spinel ferrites have attracted much attention as a merging material for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR),(1) advanced battery electrodes,(2, 3) and supercapacitors.(4, 5) Generally, the spinel structure can be described by a formula [X₁−λ²⁺Bλ³⁺]ᵀ[Xλ²⁺B₂−λ³⁺]ᴼ O₄, where λ is the inversion degree in-between 0 and 1, and superscripts T...
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...
