文摘Development of efficient and stable metal catalysts for the selective aqueous phase hydrodeoxygenation(HDO)of biomass-derived oxygenates to value-added biofuels is highly desired.An innovative surface microenvironment modulation strategy was used to construct the nitrogen-doped hollow carbon sphere encapsulated with Pd(Pd@NHCS-X,X:600–800)nanoreactors for catalytic HDO of biomass-derived vanillin in water.The specific surface microenvironments of Pd@NHCS catalysts including the electronic property of active Pd centers and the surface wettability and porous structure of NHCS supports could be well-controlled by the calcination temperature of catalysts.Intrinsic kinetic evaluations demonstrated that the Pd@NHCS-600 catalyst presented a high turnover frequency of 337.77 h^(–1)and a low apparent activation energy of 18.63 kJ/mol.The excellent catalytic HDO performance was attributed to the unique surface microenvironment of Pd@NHCS catalyst based on structure-performance relationship analysis and DFT calculations.It revealed that pyridinic N species dominated the electronic property regulation of Pd sites through electronic metal-support interaction(EMSI)and produced numerous electron-rich active Pd centers,which not only intensified the dissociation and activation of H2 molecules,but also substantially improved the activation capability of vanillin via the enhanced adsorption of–C=O group.The fine hydrophilicity and abundant porous structure promoted the uniform dispersion of catalyst and ensured the effective access of reactants to catalytic active centers in water.Additionally,the Pd@NHCS-600 catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic stability and broad substrate applicability for the selective aqueous phase HDO of various biomass-derived carbonyl compounds.The proposed surface microenvironment modulation strategy will provide a new consideration for the rational design of high-performance nitrogen-doped carbon-supported metal catalysts for catalytic biomass transformation.

文摘Pyrus pyrifolia,commonly known as sand pear,is a key economic fruit tree in temperate regions that possesses highly diverse germplasm resources for pear quality improvement.However,research on the relationship between resistance and fruit quality traits in the breeding of fruit species like pear is limited.Pan-transcriptomes effectively capture genetic information from coding regions and reflect variations in gene expression between individuals.Here,we constructed a pan-transcriptome based on 506 samples from different tissues of sand pear,and explored the intrinsic relationships among phenotypes and the selection for disease resistance during improvement based on expression presence/absence variations(eP AVs).The pan-transcriptome in this study contains 156,744 transcripts,among which the novel transcripts showed significant enrichment in the defense response.Interestingly,disease resistance genes are highly expressed in landraces of pear but have been selected against during the improvement of this perennial tree species.We found that the genetically diverse landraces can be divided into two subgroups and inferred that they have undergone different dispersal processes.Through co-expression network analysis,we confirmed that the formation of stone cells in pears,the synthesis of fruit anthocyanins,and the ability to resist stress are interrelated.They are jointly regulated by several modules,and the expression of regulatory genes has significant correlations with these three processes.Moreover,we identified candidate genes such as HKL1 that may affect sugar content and are missing from the reference genome.This study provides insights into the associations between complex fruit traits,while providing a database resource for pear disease resistance and fruit quality breeding.

文摘Covert unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)communication has garnered considerable attention in wireless systems for realizing the sustainable low-altitude economy(LAE).This paper investigates the system policy,trajectory design,and resource allocation for energy-efficient aerial networked systems with the aid of an integrated sensing and communications(ISAC)framework,in which multiple UAVs are employed to simultaneously conduct cooperative sensing and covert downlink transmissions to multiple ground users(GUs)in the presence of a mobile warden(Willie).Specifically,to improve the communication covertness,UAVs are strategically switched between jamming(JUAV)and information(IUAV)modes.Additionally,to cope with the mobility of Willie,an unscented Kalman filtering(UKF)-based method is employed to track and predict Willie’s location relying on the delay and Doppler measurements extracted from the ISAC echoes.Capitalizing on the predicted Willie’s location,a real-time energy efficiency(EE)maximization problem is formulated by jointly optimizing the JUAV selection strategy,IUAV-GU scheduling,communication/jamming power allocation,and UAV trajectories design.The formulation takes into account the communication covertness requirement and the maximum transmit power budget,leading to a mixed-integer non-convex fractional programming.To tackle this challenge,the alternating optimization(AO)approach is adopted,which decomposes the original problem into a series of sub-problems,allowing us to obtain an efficient sub-optimal solution.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme is capable of tracking Willie accurately and offering excellent system EE performance compared to various benchmark schemes adopting existing designs.

文摘Bacterial infections have always been a major threat to human health.Skin wounds are frequently exposed to the external environment,and they may become contaminated by bacteria derived from the surrounding skin,the local environment,and the patient’s own endogenous sources.Contaminated wounds may enter a state of chronic inflammation that impedes healing.Urgent development of antibacterial wound dressings capable of effectively combating bacteria and overcoming resistance is necessary.Nanotechnology and nanomaterials present promising potential as innovative strategies for antimicrobial wound dressings,owing to their robust antibacterial characteristics and the inherent advantage of avoiding antibiotic resistance.Therefore,this review provides a concise overview of the antimicrobial mechanisms exhibited by low-dimensional nanomaterials.It further categorizes common low-dimensional antimicrobial nanomaterials into zero-dimensional(0D),one-dimensional(1D)and two-dimensional(2D)nanomaterials based on their structural characteristics,and gives a detailed compendium of the latest research advances and applications of different low-dimensional antimicrobial nanomaterials in wound healing,which could be helpful for the development of more effective wound dressings.

文摘BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is one of the most common malignant tumours of the digestive system worldwide.The expression of Ki-67 is crucial for the diagnosis,treatment,and prognostic evaluation of HCC.AIM To construct a machine learning model for the preoperative evaluation of Ki-67 expression in HCC and to assist in clinical decision-making.METHODS This study included 164 pathologically confirmed HCC patients.Radiomic features were extracted from the computed tomography images reconstructed by superresolution of the intratumoral and peritumoral regions.Features were selected via the intraclass correlation coefficient,t tests,Pearson correlation coeffi-cients and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression methods,and models were constructed via various machine learning methods.The best model was selected,and the radiomics score(Radscore)was calculated.A nomogram incorporating the Radscore and clinical risk factors was constructed.The predictive performance of each model was evaluated via receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves and calibration curves,and decision curve analysis was used to assess the clinical benefits.RESULTS In total,164 HCC patients,namely,104 patients with high Ki-67 expression and 60 with low Ki-67 expression,were included.Compared with the models in which only intratumoral or peritumoral features were used,the fusion model in which intratumoral and peritumoral features were combined demonstrated stronger predictive ability.Moreover,the clinical-radiomics model including the Radscore and clinical features had higher predictive performance than did the fusion model(area under the ROC curve=0.848 vs 0.780 in the training group,area under the ROC curve=0.830 vs 0.760 in the validation group).The calibration curve showed good consistency between the predicted probability and the actual probability,and the decision curve further confirmed its clinical benefit.CONCLUSION A machine learning model based on the radiomic features of the intratumoral and peritumoral regions on superres-olution computed tomography in conjunction with clinical factors can accurately evaluate Ki-67 expression.The model provides valuable assistance in selecting treatment strategies for HCC patients and contributes to research on neoadjuvant therapy for liver cancer.
文摘An article recently published in the World Journal of Diabetes,provides valuable insights into using immune biomarkers to identify renal damage in pediatric patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes(T1D).Although these findings are promising,clinical translation of these immune markers into routine diagnostics and preventive care remains challenging.In this letter,we propose building on the authors’work by exploring the integration of immune biomarkers into a more comprehensive dynamic risk stratification model for early renal injury.Com-bining immune system indicators with metabolic and genetic factors could enhance the predictive accuracy and support more personalized interventions.Longitudinal studies are needed to evaluate temporal changes in immune biomarkers and their association with long-term renal outcomes in children with T1Ds.Immunomodulatory therapies targeting early immune dysfunction can prevent or slow the progression of diabetic nephropathy.By incorporating these aspects,we hope to translate immune biomarkers from research into practical clinical tools,ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing the burden of kidney-related complications in pediatric diabetes.

文摘Interactions between cement clinkers and clay minerals are crucial to the much lower strength of cement-based stabilized clays than concrete or mortar.In this paper,the kaolinite-based and montmorillonite-based clays were respectively stabilized by tricalcium silicate(C3S)and tricalcium aluminate(C3A),and measured by the unconfined compressive strength(UCS),29Si/27Al solid state nuclear magnetic resonance(SS-NMR),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),and transmission electron microscope(TEM)to probe the clinker-clay mineral interaction from macro-mechanical,mineralogical,and microstructural perspectives.The results show that C3A-stabilized samples gain strength rapidly in the first 3 d but are only 20%e60%of the strength of C3S-stabilized ones after 60 d.Microstructures reveal that montmorillonite shows better pozzolanic reactivity due to its superior Sichain and lattice substitution compared to kaolinite.This interaction domains the engineering performance of stabilized clays,benefiting the design of stabilizer referring to as the industrial by-products and clay minerals.

文摘Diabetic wounds are among the most challenging chronic wounds to heal,due to the presence of multiple factors,including continuous oxidative stress,impaired vascular integrity,and biofilm formation.The development of innovative treatment strategies is of paramount importance for the management of diabetic wounds.Stemmed from the pleiotropic physicochemical properties of ferrocene and spermidine,this essay reported the ferrocene-spermidine co-polymer(Fc S)for the first time through facile amidation reaction.Molecular dynamics simulation revealed its self-assembly through hydrogen bonds,van der Waals forces instead of traditional nanoprecipitation.The self-assembled nanoparticles were demonstrated to exhibit great antioxidant property on cells to facilitate their migration and angiogenesis.Moreover,the integration with photocuring hydrogel,gelatin methacrylate(Gel MA),to construct Fc S nanoparticles loaded wound dressing(Gel MA@Fc S)further confirmed the potential on promoting diabetic wound enclosure through enhancement of re-epithelization and collagen deposition.Together with its great biocompatibility and biosafety,Gel MA@Fc S is expected to be developed into a wound dressing for clinical diabetic wounds management.

文摘Feedforward control is one of the most effective control techniques to increase the robot’s tracking accuracy.However,most of the dynamic models used in the feedforward controllers are linearly simplified such that the nonlinear and time-varying characteristics of dynamics in the workspace are ignored.In this paper,an iterative tuning method for feedforward control of parallel manipulators by taking nonlinear dynamics into account is proposed.Based on the robot rigid-body dynamic model,a feedforward controller considering the dynamic nonlinearity is presented.An iterative tuning method is given to iteratively update the feedforward controller by minimizing the root mean square(RMS)of the joint errors at each cycle.The effectiveness and extrapolation capability of the proposed method are validated through the experiments on a 2-DOF parallel manipulator.This research proposes an iterative tuning method for feedforward control of parallel manipulators considering nonlinear dynamics,which has better extrapolation capability in the whole workspace of manipulators.

文摘Pear fruit corking disorder is a non-infectious physiological condition that primarily occurs during the late developmental stages of pear and significantly impacts fruit quality and economic value in several major cultivars.As the underlying mechanism remains unclear,effective prevention strategies and genetic improvements continue to present major challenges.In this study,‘Akizuki’pear was used as experimental material,and the lignin content in cork-affected tissue was found to be significantly higher than in healthy tissue.Exogenous abscisic acid(ABA)treatment induced cork formation and promoted lignin biosynthesis,a major structural component,in both pear fruits and calli.Through integrated RNA-seq and expression analyses,we identified the ABA-responsive gene PbrMYB8,which was differentially expressed between healthy and diseased tissues and associated with lignin biosynthesis during corking disorder.Stable transformation of PbrMYB8 into pear calli and Arabidopsis confirmed its role in promoting lignin biosynthesis.Notably,PbrMYB8 not only activated lignin biosynthesis genes independently but also interacted with PbrMYB169 to form a protein complex that co-regulated their expression.These findings improve our understanding of lignin biosynthesis in pear fruit corking disorder by identifying a key regulator and its interaction network and provide a theoretical foundation for future strategies aimed at improving pear fruit quality.

文摘Optical temperature sensor materials face great challenges in terms of temperature measurement sensitivity and applicability in extreme environments.To overcome these problems,Er^(3+)∕Yb^(3+)co-doped La_(2)O_(3)-TiO_(2)-Ga_(2)O_(3)-ZrO_(2)(LTGZ)glasses were designed and synthesized using the aerodynamic levitation method.In the glass system,the strongest intensity of upconversion luminescence was measured on 3.0Yb^(3+)∕0.5Er^(3+)(mole fraction)co-doped LTGZ glasses.In the temperature range of 300 to 700 K,the maximum relative and absolute sensitivities were 2.71%and 0.56%K^(−1),respectively.The temperature reliability was proved through variable temperature cycling tests.More importantly,to our knowledge,it is the first time to investigate the optical temperature measurement capability under a high magnetic field in this as-designed sensor.By applying the magnetic field up to 42 T,the relative sensitivity changes from 1.79%to 1.58%K^(−1),revealing that the temperature sensitivity of the sensor remains stable even in high magnetic fields.The results of the study provide a reference for the selection of temperature measurement materials in the field of optical temperature sensing,and the designed temperature sensor can be used for temperature measurement in extreme environments,especially in strong magnetic field conditions,which provides an important value for the development of special optical temperature sensors.
