Brochosomes as an antireflective camouflage coating for leafhoppers by Wei Wu, Qianzhuo Mao, Zhuang-Xin Ye, Zhenfeng Liao, Hong-Wei Shan, Jun-Min Li, Chuan-Xi Zhang, Jian-Ping Chen

“…To counter this threat, insects employ a variety of nano- and microstructures on their cuticular layer to manipulate and interact with light, enhancing antireflective properties and providing camouflage or reducing detectability by predators. Leafhoppers have a unique extracuticular coating called brochosome, yet its antireflective functions and protein composition remain unclear. …”

Thermomechanical and Photophysical Properties of Crystal-Violet-Dye/H2O Based Dissolutions via the Pulsed Laser Photoacoustic Technique by Vicente Torres-Zúñiga, Rosalba Castañeda-Guzmán, Santiago J. Pérez-Ruiz, Omar G. Morales-Saavedra

“…An appropriate processing of the photoacoustic signals allows an adequate data analysis of the generated waves within the system, providing an accurate determination of the speed of sound as function of the dye-concentration. The acoustic attenuation was calculated based on the distance of the two PZT-microphones to an acoustic-source point and performing linear-fitting of the experimental data (RMS-amplitudes) as function of the dye-concentration. …”

Ensemble machine learning-based pre-trained annotation approach for scRNA-seq data using gradient boosting with genetic optimizer by Osama Elnahas, Waleed M. Ead, Yushan Qiu, Jian Lu

“…The problem of single-cell RNA annotation involves assigning meaningful labels or annotations to each cell in the scRNA-seq dataset, indicating its corresponding cell type, state, or biological function. Current annotation methods are often challenged by limited source data quality, sensitivity to batch effects, and poor adaptability to uncharacterized cell types. …”
