Two field experiments were conducted in Dongtai(120°19″ E, 32°52″ N), Jiangsu, China in 2009 and Dafeng(120°28″ E, 33°12″ N), Jiangsu province, China in 2010. Six nitrogen rates(0, 150, 300, 375, 450, and 600 kg ha^(-1)) were used to study the effect of N fertilization rate on soil alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen content(SAHNC), subtending leaf nitrogen concentration(SLNC), yield, and fiber quality. In both Dongtai and Dafeng experiment station, the highest yield(1709 kg ha^(-1)), best quality(fiber length 30.6 mm, fiber strength 31.6 c N tex^(-1), micronaire 4.82), and highest N agronomic efficiency(2.03 kg kg^(-1)) were achieved at the nitrogen fertilization rate of 375 kg ha^(-1). The dynamics of SAHNC and SLNC could be simulated with a cubic and an exponential function,respectively. The changes in SAHNC were consistent with the changes in SLNC. Optimal average rate(0.276 mg day^(-1)) and duration(51.8 days) of SAHNC rapid decline were similar to the values obtained at the nitrogen rate of 375 kg ha^(-1)at which cotton showed highest fiber yield, quality, and N agronomic efficiency. Thus, the levels and strategies of nitrogen fertilization can affect SAHNC dynamics. The N fertilization rate that optimizes soil alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen content would optimize the subtending leaf nitrogen concentration and thereby increase the yield and quality of the cotton fiber.展开更多

To this day, ghost imaging has become an effective bridge between the advantages of quantum light sources and the field of imaging. This article begins by tracing the origin of ghost imaging and reviewing its development journey. Subsequently, we introduce some recent and important achievements and research interests of the field, which mainly include two aspects. First, we review recent works that extend GI from the intensity-only target to the complex field domain, that is, ghost holography. Using quantum correlation, traditional holographic techniques have been reproduced at the single-photon level. Second, we review the recent development of GI with the implementation of the intensified chargecoupled device(ICCD). As detection efficiency improves, ghost imaging will gradually become an important platform for studying physical mechanisms and achieving quantum advantage in imaging.展开更多
