To extend the time span of the microwave (MW) land surface temperature (LST) dataset in China, this study proposed an optimized empirical algorithm for Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) LST retrieval based on the algorithm for its predecessor, the AMSR-Earth Observing System (AMSR-E).A modified comprehensive classification system of
Spasms after spinal cord injury (SCI) are debilitating involuntary muscle contractions that have been associated with increased motor neuron excitability and decreased inhibition.However, whether spasms involve activation of premotor spinal excitatory neuronal circuits is unknown.Here we use mouse genetics, electrophysiology, imaging and optogeneti
Much of our daily communication occurs in the presence of background noise, compromising our ability to hear.While understanding speech in noise is a challenge for everyone, it becomes increasingly difficult as we age.Although aging is generally accompanied by hearing loss, this perceptual decline cannot fully account for the difficulties experienc

With global warming, high-temperature (HT) stress has become a major abiotic stress for crops, in particular summer maize in China.Photosynthesis is sensitive to HT.Salicylic acid (SA) and 6-benzyladenine Welding Coupon (6-BA) can improve the adaptation of plants to various biotic and abiotic stresses.However, their contribution to maintaining phot
