Communication in deep-sea shadow zones remains a significant challenge due to high propagation losses, complex multipath effects, long transmission delays, and strong environmental influences. In recent years, orthogonal chirp division multiplexing (OCDM) has demonstrated promising performance in underwater acoustic communication due to its robustness against multipath interference. However, its high peak-to-average power rati...

The ocean, serving as the cradle of life on Earth and the regulator of global climate, constitutes an invaluable resource repository for human survival and development. The preservation of ocean health is pivotal for the sustainable progression of human society. This study chose Dalian in China to assess the marine health using the Ocean Health Index (OHI) at the city-level by selecting appropriate parameters and reference poi...

Purpose At present, the chemotherapy for alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is mainly based on albendazole (ABZ). However, more than 20% of patients fail chemotherapy. Therefore, new and more effective treatments are urgently needed. Allicin has been reported to have antibacterial and antiparasitic effects. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the in vivo and in vitro efficacy of allicin against Echinococcus multi...
