We report an innovative approach for miRNA-203 delivery in esophageal cancer cells using protamine sulphate (PS)–nanodiamond (ND) nanoparticles. The efficient of miR-203 significantly suppressed the proliferation and migration through targeting Ran ΔNp63, exhibiting a great potential PS@ND nanoparticles miRNA-based therapy.
Thermal conductivity (λ) is a property characterizing heat transfer in porous media, such as soils and rocks, with broad applications to geothermal systems aquifer characterizations. Numerous empirical physically-based models have been developed for thermal unsaturated soils. Recently, Ghanbarian Daigle (G&D) proposed theoretical model using the percolation-based effective-medium approximation. An explicit form of G&D relating λ water content (θ) equations estimate parameters were also...
Abstract The heat transfer and water retention in soils, governed by soil thermal conductivity (λ) curve (SWRC), are coupled. Soil content (θ) significantly affects λ. Several models have been developed to describe λ(θ) relationships for unsaturated soils. Ghanbarian Daigle presented a percolation‐based effective‐medium approximation (P‐EMA) with two parameters: scaling exponent ( t s ) critical (θ c ). In this study, we explored the new insights into correlation between using P‐EMA van...
Abstract Soil unsaturated hydraulic conductivity ( K ), which depends on water content θ ) and matric potential ψ exhibits a high degree of variability at the field scale. Here we first develop theoretical hydraulic‐electrical σ relationship under low salinity cases based capillary bundle model Waxman Smits can account for non‐linear behavior salinities.

The presentation will focus on the interrelationships of soil hydraulic, thermal and electrical transport properties. We highlight how some more easily measured properties can be used as surrogates for others, which cannot readily measured. specifically illustrate thermo-TDR sensing platform to collect detailed in situ property measurements at millimeter profile scale. utilize between together with order demonstrate density structure determined situ. also opportunities extending such...
Abstract A petrophysical model that accurately relates bulk electrical conductivity (σ) to pore fluid (σ w ) is critical the interpretation of geophysical measurements. Classical models are either only applicable over a limited salinity regime or incorrectly explain nonlinear‐to‐linear behavior σ(σ relationship. In this study, asymptotic limits at zero and infinite first established in which, σ expressed as linear function with four parameters: cementation exponent ( m ), equivalent value...
Abstract A thermo‐time domain reflectometry (thermo‐TDR) sensor combines a heat‐pulse with TDR waveguide to simultaneously measure coupled processes of water, heat, and solute transfer. The can provide repeated in situ measurements several soil state properties (temperature, water content, ice content), thermal (thermal diffusivity, conductivity, heat capacity), electromagnetic (dielectric constant bulk electrical conductivity) minimal disturbance. Combined physical or empirical models,...
<p>Recent advancements in fine-scale thermo-TDR measurements of soil thermal and electrical properties provide opportunities to measure state variables (temperature, water content, ice air-filled porosity), (bulk density, diffusivity, volumetric heat capacity, conductivity, bulk conductivity) energy mass fluxes (sensible heat, latent for evaporation or freezing, infiltrating liquid water, upward moving water).  It is also possible estimate hydraulic from property...
