IntroductionNitraria tangutorum Bobr., a prominent xerophytic shrub, exhibits remarkable adaptability to harsh environment and plays a significant part in preventing desertification in northwest China owing to its exceptional drought and salinity tolerance.MethodsTo investigate the drought-resistant mechanism underlying N.tangutorum, we treated 8-w

Genotype IV Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus (GIV JEV) is the least common and most neglected genotype in JEV.We evaluated the growth and pathogenic potential of the GIV strain 19CxBa-83-Cv, which was isolated from a mosquito pool in Bali, Indonesia, in 2019, and serological analyses were also conducted.The growth ability of 19CxBa-83-Cv in Vero ce

The memory-enhancing effect of emotion, during encoding and retrieval, has been linked to the engagement of emotion- and memory-related medial temporal lobe (MTL) regions (amygdala-AMY; hippocampus-HC; parahippocampus-PHC).However, recognition tasks used to investigate the neural correlates of retrieval make it difficult to distinguish MTL engageme

The precision and crack-free surface of brittle silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic was achieved in the nanoscale ductile grinding.However, the nanoscale scratching mechanism and the root causes of SiC ductile response, especially in the atomistic aspects, have not been fully understood yet.In this study, the SiC atomistic scale scratching mechanism was

Private integer comparison has been an essential computation function for many applications, including online auction, credential identification, data mining, and joint bidding.In the setting of two-party computation, two parties with private inputs ( $x$ and $y$ ) want to jointly compare them without revealing the value of those inputs to others (
