To investigate the effect of a fermented milk containing Bifidobacterium lactis DN-173010 and yogurt strains (BIO(R)) on adult women with constipation in Beijing.A total 135 females were randomly allocated to consume for 2 wk either 100 g test or an acidified non-living bacteria (control). Stool frequency, defecation condition scores, stool consistency food intake recorded at baseline after 1 intention-to-treat population 126 subjects. In parallel, safety evaluation parameters performed.At...

Emotion recognition based on affective physiological changes is a pattern problem, and selecting specific signals necessary helpful to recognize the emotions. Fingertip blood oxygen saturation (OXY), galvanic skin response (GSR) heart rate (HR) are acquired while amusement, anger, grief fear of 101 subjects individually elicited by films. The in multi-subject GSR, first derivative GSR (FD_GSR) HR detected multi-variant correlation method. analysis reveals that HR, FD_GSR fluctuations...

Glucosamine-6-phosphate N-acetyltransferase 1 (GNPNAT1) is an enzyme involved in the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway, which critical for glycosylation processes. In context of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), GNPNAT1 plays a significant role modulating immune responses. The purpose this study to investigate regulating efficacy radiotherapy and resistance natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytotoxicity patients with NSCLC. To assess GNPNAT1's impact on efficacy, 122 were categorized into...

Studies have demonstrated that there are widespread significant differences in spontaneous brain activity between eyes-open (EO) and eyes-closed (EC) resting states. However, it remains largely unclear whether is effectively related to EO EC The amplitude, local functional concordance, inter-hemisphere synchronization, network centrality of were measured by the fraction amplitude low frequency fluctuation (fALFF), regional homogeneity (ReHo), voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC),...

With the advancement of technology, information hiding capacity has significantly increased, allowing a cover image to conceal one or more secret images. However, this high often leads contour shadows and color distortions, making high-quality recovery images extremely challenging. Existing algorithms based on Invertible Neural Networks (INNs) discard useful during process, resulting in poor quality recovered images, especially multi-image scenarios. The theoretical symmetry INNs ensures...

Cortinarius sinensis is deeply loved by people in northwest China for its taste and nutrition, but wild resources decline due to over - picking, climate change, trade demands. First, this study used the MaxEnt model predict suitable habitats. Results show that currently, optimal highly habitats are around Helan Qilian Mountains. Future will keep distribution trend reduce area. Then nutritional components of fruitbodies collected from Mountains Mountains, two main producing areas C. sinensis,...

From direct observations, facial, vocal, gestural, physiological, and central nervous signals, estimating human affective states through computational models such as multivariate linear-regression analysis, support vector regression, artificial neural network, have been proposed in the past decade. In these models, linear are generally lack of precision because ignoring intrinsic nonlinearities complex psychophysiological processes; nonlinear commonly adopt complicated algorithms. To improve...

Emotion recognition in conversations (ERC) has gained more attention, where contextual information modeling and multimodal fusion have been the focus challenges recent years. In this paper, we proposed a Multi-Scale Receptive Field Graph model (MSRFG) to tackle of ERC. Specifically, MSRFG constructs multi-scale perception graphs learns via parallel receptive field paths. To compensate for deficiency temporal learning by graph network, injects dependencies into network relationships between...

A Trichoderma strain was isolated and then identified as viride FRP3 based on colony morphology, cell morphology 18S rRNA analysis. The optimum temperature for growth of T. found to be 25–27°C. This could grow well in a wide range pH (pH 4–6.5) the 5 5.5. also evaluated vitro potential use bioremediation soils contaminated with herbicide glyphosate, through observation profiles total phosphorus culture medium containing glyphosate sole source. showed considerable result supported by decrease...

This paper presents a new version of our violin music transcriber [1] to support personalized learning. The proposed method is designed detect duo-pitch (two strings being bowed at the same time) from real-world audio signals recorded in home environment. Our uses semitone band spectrogram, signal spectral representation with direct musical relevance. We exploit constraints sound improve transcription performance and speed comparison existing methods. have carried out rigorous evaluations...

A bis-demethoxy curcumin microemulsion was successfully prepared using the method of pseudo-ternary phase diagrams combined with an orthogonal test in a 3-phase system (O phase=active ingredient; S phase=surfactants; W phase=water). The best transparent region for preparing formed when Termul-200 (an alkylphenol polyether block copolymer emulsifier) and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) (4 : 1 w/w) were used as surfactants (S phase), isopropanol (30% phase) co-surfactant, DMF solution...

We analyzed the relationship between dominant arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Funneliformis mosseae and soybean root rot pathogen Fusarium oxysporum through pot trials to help overcome obstacles continuous cropping of provide theoretical evidence that can be used prevent reduced production induced by rot. Using qRT-PCR, we amplified specific rDNA sequences F. in roots rhizosphere soil quantified DNA contents these fungi determine AM oxysporum. The differed significantly depending on...
