1. IntroductionThe placement of urban gas stations, as critical support facilities for urban road transportation, profoundly impacts both the orderly development of cities and the daily lives of residents [1,2,3]. Traditionally, profit-driven motives and investment incentives have led to the indiscriminate approval and construction of gas stations, resulting in disorganized layouts and inefficient distribution [4].

1. Introduction Neurofilament light chain (NfL), a cytoskeletal protein, is a promising biomarker specific to neuroaxonal injury in various diseases such as dementia, multiple sclerosis, and peripheral neuropathies [1, 2]. Pruritus (syn. itch) is defined as an unpleasant sensation evoking the urge to scratch [3]. In the skin, itch is mainly transmitted by nonmyelinated C and thinly myelinated Aδ nerve fibers [4], with C-fibers extending into the upper epidermis [5].

AbstractReactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation is required for effective plant defense. Accumulation of the Arabidopsis NADPH oxidase RBOHD is regulated by phosphorylation of a conserved C-terminal residue (T912) leading to ubiquitination by the RING E3 ligase PIRE. Arabidopsis PIRE knockouts exhibit enhanced ROS production and resistance to the foliar pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. Here, we identified 170 PIRE homologs, which emerged in tracheophytes and expanded in angiosperms.
