Multiple solutions for nonhomogeneous Neumann differential inclusion problems by the p(x)-Laplacian
In this paper we study Neumann-type -Laplacian equation with nonsmooth potential. Firstly, applying a version of the non-smooth three-critical-points theorem we obtain the existence of three solutions of the problem in . Finally, we obtain the existence of at least two nontrivial solutions, when

Knockdown of LncRNA SBF2-AS1 Inhibited Gastric Cancer Tumorigenesis via the Wnt/LRP5 Signaling Pathway
This investigation aimed to uncover the impact of a long noncoding RNA, SET-binding factor 2 antisense RNA1 (SBF2-AS1) on the malignant progression of gastric cancer (GC) and to further explore its underlying mechanism. SBF2-AS1 expression was quantified by qRT-PCR in GC cell lines and GC tissues. In vitro loss-of-function studies of SBF2-AS1, accompanied by flow cytometry, CCK-8, and cell invasion tests, were applied to elucidate the impact of SBF2-AS1 on the tumor progression of GC cells. Finally, Western blotting and a luciferase assay were used to detect WNT/LRP5 signaling pathway activation. SBF2-AS1 was aberrantly expressed in GC cell lines (p<0.05) and GC tissues (p<0.05). Cell invasive and proliferative capabilities were inhibited via SBF2-AS1 knockdown, resulting in apoptosis of NCI-N87 and MKN74 cells. Additionally, online database analysis uncovered a positive correlation between SBF2-AS1 and the Wnt/LRP5 signaling pathway (p<0.05). SBF2-AS1 knockdown blocked the Wnt/LRP5 signaling pathway, whereas the effects of SBF2-AS1 knockdown on the malignant genotype of MKN74 as well as NCI-N87 cells were partially restored by triggering the Wnt/ LRP5 signaling pathway. High expression of SBF2-AS1 was found in GC, the malignant progression of which was repressed via SBF2-AS1 knockdown by inhibiting the Wnt/LRP5 signaling pathway

Supramolecular Assembly of Tetramethylcucurbit[6]uril and 2-Picolylamine
The supramolecular assembly of symmetrical tetramethylcucurbit[6]uril (TMeQ[6]) and 2-picolylamine (AMPy) has been investigated via various techniques, including ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and X-ray crystallography. The results indicated that TMeQ[6] could encapsulate the AMPy guest molecule to form a stable inclusion complex. The rotational restriction of the guest in the cavity of TMeQ[6] resulted in a large negative value of entropy. The X-ray crystal structure of the 1:1 inclusion complex between TMeQ[6] and AMPy revealed that AMPy exists in the elliptical cavity of TMeQ[6]
Molecular characterization and genetic diversity of parvoviruses prevalent in cats in Central and Eastern China from 2018 to 2022
Cats are a potential source of genetic diversity for parvoviruses. Herein, 134 samples were collected from cats with clinical gastroenteritis and analyzed for the presence of viral DNA via polymerase chain reaction, which revealed 48 positive samples. Identity analysis of VP2 nucleotide sequences indicated that these 48 strains, belonging to feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) and canine parvovirus type-2 (CPV-2; including new CPV-2a and CPV-2c genotypes), shared 94.59–99.94% nucleotide identity with the reference strains. The FPV strain F8 (isolated from Vietnam) appeared to be a recombinant of strains HB2003 and JS1901, whereas the Chinese CPV-2b strain BM-(11) isolated in 2011 was believed to be a recombinant of strains AH2008 and JS1901. In phylogenetic tree analysis based on VP2 nucleotide sequences, all obtained FPV strains and most reference FPV strains were clustered together, except strain BJ-22, which originated from monkeys. Further, two new CPV-2a strains (AH2005 and AH2008) were close to the newly reported Chinese CPV-2a strains but were distant from the other CPV-2a strains, namely CPV-339 (from the United States) and K022 (from South Korea). Additionally, the FPV and CPV-2 strains had high mutation rates in the antigenic regions of the VP2 protein. According to model prediction of the CPV–VP2 protein, these mutations may cause changes in the tertiary structure of VP2. The findings of this study can be used to improve the pre-evaluation of vaccination efficacy against diseases caused by FPV and CPV-2 in domestic cats and understand their genotypic transmission and mutation trends
The large area detector onboard the eXTP mission
The Large Area Detector (LAD) is the high-throughput, spectral-timing instrument onboard the eXTP mission, a flagship
mission of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the China National Space Administration, with a large European
participation coordinated by Italy and Spain. The eXTP mission is currently performing its phase B study, with a target
launch at the end-2027. The eXTP scientific payload includes four instruments (SFA, PFA, LAD and WFM) offering
unprecedented simultaneous wide-band X-ray timing and polarimetry sensitivity. The LAD instrument is based on the
design originally proposed for the LOFT mission. It envisages a deployed 3.2 m2 effective area in the 2-30 keV energy
range, achieved through the technology of the large-area Silicon Drift Detectors - offering a spectral resolution of up to
200 eV FWHM at 6 keV - and of capillary plate collimators - limiting the field of view to about 1 degree. In this paper
we will provide an overview of the LAD instrument design, its current status of development and anticipated
performance
Does the openness of the Boundary Shell system influence the sustainable development of the high-tech industry?
High-technology industries have gained substantial recognition as pivotal drivers of economic growth and technological advancement in modern society. The imperative of sustainable development in high-tech industries cannot be overemphasized, as it plays a crucial role in enabling long-term growth, fostering innovation, and assuming environmental responsibility. This article presents a study on sustainable development in high-tech industries using Boundary Shell theory. The study investigates the role of the stable and sustainable entropy criterion for the Boundary Shell system of high-tech industries from an entropy balance perspective. It analyzes the upper and lower limits of the Boundary Shell support force. Additionally, it improves the traditional boundary system ratio model to comprehensively and objectively evaluate the sustainable development of high-tech industries. The results illustrate that the Boundary Shell of industrial innovation is stronger than that of external dependency, with a reversed ranking of internal evaluation factor strengths compared to the traditional model. This research integrates reaction-diffusion equations theory with entropy balance equations theory to address sustainability issues in the high-tech industry. We further analyze the sustainable development of the high-tech industry through a Boundary Shell theory perspective to advance sustainability in high-tech industries. Moreover, it provides useful insights into the sustainable development of high-tech industries
