文摘While methodology for determining the mode of evolution in coding sequences has been well established,evaluation of adaptation events in emerging types of phenotype data needs further development.Here,we propose an analysis framework(expression variance decomposition,EVaDe)for comparative single-cell expression data based on phenotypic evolution theory.After decomposing the gene expression variance into separate components,we use two strategies to identify genes exhibiting large between-taxon expression divergence and small within-cell-type expression noise in certain cell types,attributing this pattern to putative adaptive evolution.In a dataset of primate prefrontal cortex,we find that such humanspecific key genes enrich with neurodevelopment-related functions,while most other genes exhibit neutral evolution patterns.Specific neuron types are found to harbor more of these key genes than other cell types,thus likely to have experienced more extensive adaptation.Reassuringly,at the molecular sequence level,the key genes are significantly associated with the rapidly evolving conserved non-coding elements.An additional case analysis comparing the naked mole-rat(NMR)with the mouse suggests that innateimmunity-related genes and cell types have undergone putative expression adaptation in NMR.Overall,the EVaDe framework may effectively probe adaptive evolution mode in single-cell expression data.

文摘Developing efficient and durable electrocatalysts for acidic oxygen evolution reaction(OER)is pivotal for advancing proton exchange membrane water electrolysis(PEMWEs),yet balancing activity and stability remains a formidable challenge.Herein,we propose a dual-engineering strategy to stabilize Ru-based catalysts by synergizing the oxygen vacancy site-synergized mechanism-lattice oxygen mechanism(OVSM-LOM)with Ru-N bond stabilization.The engineered RuO_(2)@NCC catalyst exhibits exceptional OER performance in 0.5 M H2SO4,achieving an ultralow overpotential of 215 mV at 10 mA cm^(-2) and prolonged stability for over 327 h.The catalyst delivers 300 h of continuous operation at 1 A cm^(-2),with a negligible degradation rate of only 0.067 mV h-1,further demonstrating its potential for practical application.Oxygen vacancies unlock the OVSM-LOM pathway,bypassing the sluggish adsorbate evolution mechanism(AEM)and accelerating reaction kinetics,while the Ru-N bonds suppress Ru dissolution by anchoring low-valent Ru centers.Quasi-in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),X-ray absorption spectroscopy(XAS),and isotopic labeling experiments confirm the lattice oxygen participation with *O formation as the rate-determining step.The Ru-N bonds reinforce the structural integrity by stabilizing low-valent Ru centers and inhibiting overoxidation.Theoretical calculations further verify that the synergistic interaction between OVs and Ru-O(N)active sites optimizes the Ru d-band center and stabilizes intermediates,while Ru-N coordination enhances structural integrity.This study establishes a novel paradigm for designing robust acidic OER catalysts through defect and coordination engineering,bridging the gap between activity and stability for sustainable energy technologies.

文摘This study presents a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis on Batrachospermaceae based on key taxonomic identifiers(rbcL,psaA,psbA,and COI-5P)from some genera.To systematically explore the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomy within Batrachospermaceae,we integrated molecular and morphological data,and explored the phylogeny,character evolution,and ancestral geographical origin and provided a theoretical support for the classification and geographic origination of Batrachospermaceae.Our findings reveal distinct relationships within the phylogenetic tree.Notably,10 genera(Sirodotia,Batrachospermum,Tuomeya,Volatus,Lympha,Nothocladus,Torularia,Sheathia,Nocturama,and Petrohua)are closely associated in the rbcL phylogenetic tree.Additionally,four genera(Kumanoa,Hoefkenia,Notohesperus,and Virescentia)exhibit high support ratios,indicating their close interrelations.Other genera,including Paludicola,Visia,Acarposporophycos,Macrosporophycos,Visioidea,Balliopsis,and Psilosiphon,exhibit clustering traits.Furthermore,the multigene sequences provide a robust support for Montagnia that forms a monophyletic group.Ancestral reconstruction of morphological characters identifies nine primitive character states,including whorl,fascicle length,cortical cells,secondary fascicles,the shape of carpogonical branch,spermatangia,carposporophyte,carpogonium and trichogyne,with Visia likely representing ancestral traits in Batrachospermaceae.Furthermore,geographical origin maps suggest a potential common ancestral of Batrachospermaceae origin in the American continent.Additional to conventional analyses,including evolutionary and ancestral reconstruction investigations into key morphological characters,we attempt to reconstruct the biogeography within the Batrachospermaceae,thus contributing to a nuanced understanding of its origin.

文摘Background:Tandem gene repeats naturally occur as important genomic features and determine many traits in living organisms,like human diseases and microbial productivities of target bioproducts.Methods:Here,we developed a bacterial type-II toxin-antitoxin-mediated method to manipulate genomic integration of tandem gene repeats in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and further visualised the evolutionary trajectories of gene repeats.We designed a tri-vector system to introduce toxin-antitoxin-driven gene amplification modules.Results:This system delivered multi-copy gene integration in the form of tandem gene repeats spontaneously and independently from toxin-antitoxin-mediated selection.Inducing the toxin(RelE)expressing via a copper(II)-inducible CUP1 promoter successfully drove the in-situ gene amplification of the antitoxin(RelB)module,resulting in~40 copies of a green fluorescence reporter gene per copy of genome.Copy-number changes,copy-number increase and copy-number decrease,and stable maintenance were visualised using the green fluorescence protein and blue chromoprotein AeBlue as reporters.Copy-number increases happened spontaneously and independent on a selection pressure.Increased copy number was quickly enriched through toxin-antitoxin-mediated selection.Conclusion:In summary,the bacterial toxin-antitoxin systems provide a flexible mechanism to manipulate gene copy number in eukaryotic cells and can be exploited for synthetic biology and metabolic engineering applications.

文摘Developing catalysts with excellent stability while significantly reducing the overpotential of the oxygen evolution reaction(OER) is crucial for advancing overall water splitting(OWS) systems.In this study,we synthesized the electrode material Ce-NiCo-LDHs@SnO_(2)/NF through a two-step hydrothermal reaction,where Ce-doped NiCo-LDHs are grown on nickel foam modified by a SnO_(2) layer.Ce doping adjusts the internal electronic distribution of Ni Co-LDHs,while the introduction of the SnO_(2) layer enhances electron transfer capability.Together,these factors contribute to the reduction of the OER energy barrier and experimental evidence confirms that the reaction proceeds via the lattice oxygen evolution mechanism(LOM).Consequently,Ce-NiCo-LDHs@SnO_(2)/NF exhibits high level electrochemical performance in OER,requiring only 234 m V overpotential to achieve a current density of 10 m A/cm^(2),with a Tafel slope of just 27.39 m V/dec.When paired with Pt/C/NF,an external potential of only 1.54 V is needed to drive OWS to attain a current density amounting to 10 m A/cm^(2).Furthermore,the catalyst demonstrates stability for 100 h during the OWS stability test.This study underscores the feasibility of enhancing the OER performance through Ce doping and the introduction of a conductive SnO_(2) layer.

文摘The capacity of the central nervous system for structural plasticity and regeneration is commonly believed to show a decreasing progression from“small and simple”brains to the larger,more complex brains of mammals.However,recent findings revealed that some forms of neural plasticity can show a reverse trend.Although plasticity is a well-preserved,transversal feature across the animal world,a variety of cell populations and mechanisms seem to have evolved to enable structural modifications to take place in widely different brains,likely as adaptations to selective pressures.Increasing evidence now indicates that a trade-off has occurred between regenerative(mostly stem cell–driven)plasticity and developmental(mostly juvenile)remodeling,with the latter primarily aimed not at brain repair but rather at“sculpting”the neural circuits based on experience.In particular,an evolutionary trade-off has occurred between neurogenic processes intended to support the possibility of recruiting new neurons throughout life and the different ways of obtaining new neurons,and between the different brain locations in which plasticity occurs.This review first briefly surveys the different types of plasticity and the complexity of their possible outcomes and then focuses on recent findings showing that the mammalian brain has a stem cell–independent integration of new neurons into pre-existing(mature)neural circuits.This process is still largely unknown but involves neuronal cells that have been blocked in arrested maturation since their embryonic origin(also termed“immature”or“dormant”neurons).These cells can then restart maturation throughout the animal's lifespan to become functional neurons in brain regions,such as the cerebral cortex and amygdala,that are relevant to high-order cognition and emotions.Unlike stem cell–driven postnatal/adult neurogenesis,which significantly decreases from small-brained,short-living species to large-brained ones,immature neurons are particularly abundant in large-brained,long-living mammals,including humans.The immature neural cell populations hosted in these complex brains are an interesting example of an“enlarged road”in the phylogenetic trend of plastic potential decreases commonly observed in the animal world.The topic of dormant neurons that covary with brain size and gyrencephaly represents a prospective turning point in the field of neuroplasticity,with important translational outcomes.These cells can represent a reservoir of undifferentiated neurons,potentially granting plasticity within the high-order circuits subserving the most sophisticated cognitive skills that are important in the growing brains of young,healthy individuals and are frequently affected by debilitating neurodevelopmental and degenerative disorders.

文摘Epithermal deposits are characterized by complex low-temperature hydrothermal alterations,but the links between mineralization and superimposed alteration are obscure and require further elucidation.This study employs short-wave infrared(SWIR)spectral scalars for alteration mineral mapping and three-dimensional modeling of the Ulan Uzhur Ag polymetallic deposit,a newly discovered epithermal deposit in the Qimantagh.Alteration zoning transitions from illite-muscovite-carbonate-pyrite in the core(Zone I),through muscovite±illite-kaolinite-chlorite-carbonate(ZoneⅡ),to muscovite-chlorite-biotite(ZoneⅢ)at the periphery.The Zone I with mineralization features long-wavelength white mica(wAlOH>2207 nm)with a high Illite Crystallinity(IC)(mean>2.0),suggesting a relatively high-temperature environment conducive to mineralization.Petrographic analyses with fluid inclusion and IC curve characteristics suggests that fluid boiling may be a pivotal mechanism for mineral precipitation.Furthermore,surface mapping and deep three-dimensional modeling of spectral characteristics reveal a correlation between long-wavelength white mica,high IC and mineralization zones.These findings indicate that SWIR spectroscopy reveal the evolution of fluids and provide valuable guidance for future exploration efforts.

文摘Magnetic field-driven spin polarization modulation has emerged as an effective way to boost the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction(OER).However,the correlation among catalyst structure,magnetic property,and magnetic field enhanced-electrochemical activity remains to be fully elucidated.Herein,single-domain CoFe_(2)O_(4) catalysts with tunable oxygen vacancies(CFO-V_(O)) were synthesized to probe how V_(O) mediates magnetism and OER activity under magnetic field.The introduction of V_(O) can simultaneously modulate saturation magnetization(M_(s)) and coercivity(H_(c)),where the increased M_(s) dominates the magnetic field-enhanced OER activity.Under a 14,000 G magnetic field,the optimized CFO-V_(O) exhibits up to 16.1 % reduction in overpotential and 365 % enhancement in magnetocurrent(MC).Electrochemical analyses and post-OER characterization reveal that the magnetic field synergistically improves OER kinetics through lattice distortion induction,magnetohydrodynamic effect,and spin charge transfer effect.Importantly,the magnetic field promotes additional Co^(3+) generation to compensate for charge imbalance caused by V_(O) filling,maintaining dynamic equilibrium of V_(O) and effective reactant adsorption-conversion processes.This work unveils the synergistic mechanism of V_(O) and magnetic parameters for enhancing OER performance under the magnetic field,providing new insights into the design of high-efficiency spinregulated OER catalysts.

文摘Serbisütherapy(ST)is a distinctive external treatment modality within traditional Mongolian medicine(TMM),historically developed within a nomadic cultural framework.This study presents a comprehensive philological and historical analysis of ST,tracing its evolution from early battlefield applications to contemporary clinical use.By critically examining classical Mongolian medical texts alongside modern case studies,we aim to systematize ST’s therapeutic methods,indications,and limitations,while exploring its mechanisms of action through both traditional theory and modern biomedical perspectives.ST has undergone significant transformation,shifting from whole-body cavity immersion in the 13th century to targeted,organ-specific applications in modern practice.Its four primary methods–Covering,Mounted,Organ Placement,and Suction–demonstrate efficacy in treating cold-natured diseases,musculoskeletal disorders,gynecological conditions,and certain emergencies.ST embodies the core principles of TMM,particularly the balance of the“Three Roots”and the correction of cold-induced pathologies through heat.Despite challenges related to standardization,cultural translation,and regulatory acceptance,ST holds translational potential for integrative medicine.Future research should prioritize mechanistic validation,clinical standardization,and the development of biocompatible thermal technologies to bridge traditional practice with modern healthcare systems.

文摘Elucidating the mineralization mechanisms of individual granitic stages and tracing magmatic evolution processes are critical for establishing mineralization models of large-scale batholiths.The Mufushan granitoid batholith,renowned for multistage magmatism and large-scale rare metal mineralization,mainly comprises biotite,two-mica,and muscovite monzogranite.Existing research has predominantly focused on biotite and two-mica granite,whereas muscovite granite,as the most highly differentiated lithologic unit,remains understudied regarding its mineralization mechanisms and evolution characteristics.Focusing on two newly discovered Li-rich granites,namely tourmaline muscovite granite(TMG)from Shiniuchong and garnet muscovite granite(GMG)from Huanglongxiang,this study clarifies their intrusion ages,Li occurrence states and enrichment mechanisms,while establishing the magmatic evolutionary pathway.The results show that the U-Pb ages of columbite-tantalum and zircon are 130.2±1.0 Ma(TMG)and 138.2±1.0 Ma(GMG),respectively,confirming Early Cretaceous Li-rich magmatism.The Li concentrations in muscovite from the Li-rich muscovite granites are high(mean 3328 ppm),compared to those in Mufushan ordinary muscovite granites(<1500 ppm),but the dominant Li-bearing minerals are still classified as muscovite or phengite.Li enrichment of mica in this Li-rich granite system is controlled by the magmatic differentiation-dominated vector Si2LiAl-3,differing from that in cogenetic pegmatite systems,indicating distinct Li enrichment pathways between two mineralization processes and thereby endowing this system with the potential to evolve into granite-type Li deposits.Mica geochemistry and Rayleigh fractionation modeling indicate the Li-rich muscovite granites,along with biotite and two-mica granite in the Mufushan area,represent products of different stages of co-magmatic evolution.Crystal fractionation is the key mechanism controlling Li enrichment,requiring effective separation of at least 75%of the melt to drive preliminary Li enrichment in the highly differentiated granite.These findings significantly advance understanding of mineralization processes in large-scale batholiths,providing valuable insights for regional Li exploration.

文摘The Ordos Basin is a large superimposed hydrocarbon-bearing basin in China,and further research on the sedimentary characteristics and sedimentary evolution of the sequence framework of target layers is of great theoretical and practical significance for guiding oil and gas exploration.The sedimentary facies and sedimentary evolution of the high-resolution sequence framework of the Carboniferous Taiyuan Formation in the Hangjinqi area have been systematically analyzed for the first time by drilling,logging and seismic data.The results show that four types of sequence interfaces can be identified in the Taiyuan Formation:regional unconformity surfaces,scour surfaces,lithologic-lithofacies transformation surfaces and flooding surfaces.According to the sedimentary response caused by the upward and downward movements of the base level at different levels,the Taiyuan Formation can be divided into 2 long-term cycles(LSC_(1)-LSC_(2)),4 mid-term cycles(MSC_(1)-MSC4)and 7 short-term cycles(SSC_(1)-SSC7).The long-and mid-term cycles correspond to members T_(1)and T_(2)and layers T_(1)-1,T_(1-2),T_(2-1),and T_(2)-2,respectively.Long-term cycles are dominated by C_(1);mid-term cycles are dominated by C_(1)and C_(2),followed by A2;and short-term cycles are dominated by C_(1),C_(2),A1 and A2.Under the high-resolution sequence stratigraphic framework,the Hangjinqi area underwent a transformation of fan delta and tidal flat depositional systems during the Taiyuan Formation sedimentary period.In the MSC_(1)-MSC_(2)stage,owing to a large-scale paleocontinent,the fan delta sedimentary body,which was limited in scale and scope,developed only in the southeastern corner and gradually transitioned basinward to tidal flat facies.In the MSC3-MSC4 stage,as the paleocontinent continuously decreased and the sedimentary range expanded,fan-delta plain sedimentation began in the study area.Several braided distributary channels with poor connectivity developed on the fan-delta plain,and between them were floodplains and peat swamps.

文摘Low-density superalloys often exhibit low yield strength in the intermediate temperature range(300−650℃).To enhance yield performance in this range,the CALPHAD method was used to design a new Co-based superalloy.The Co−30Ni−10Al−3V−6Ti−2Ta alloy,designed based onγʹphase dissolution temperature and phase fraction,was synthesized via arc melting and heat treatment.Phase transition temperatures,microstructure evolution,and hightemperature mechanical properties were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry,scanning electron microscopy,dual-beam TEM,and compression tests.Results show that the alloy has low density(8.15 g/cm^(3))and highγʹdissolution temperature(1234℃),along with unique yield strength retention from room temperature to 650℃.The yield strength anomaly(YSA)is attributed to high stacking fault energy and activation of the Kear−Wilsdorf locking mechanism,contributing to superior high-temperature stability of the alloy.The yield strength of this alloy outperforms other lowdensity Co-based superalloys in the temperature range of 23−650℃.

文摘In underwater target search path planning,the accuracy of sonar models directly dictates the accurate assessment of search coverage.In contrast to physics-informed sonar models,traditional geometric sonar models fail to accurately characterize the complex influence of marine environments.To overcome these challenges,we propose an acoustic physics-informed intelligent path planning framework for underwater target search,integrating three core modules:The acoustic-physical modeling module adopts 3D ray-tracing theory and the active sonar equation to construct a physics-driven sonar detection model,explicitly accounting for environmental factors that influence sonar performance across heterogeneous spaces.The hybrid parallel computing module adopts a message passing interface(MPI)/open multi-processing(Open MP)hybrid strategy for large-scale acoustic simulations,combining computational domain decomposition and physics-intensive task acceleration.The search path optimization module adopts the covariance matrix adaptation evolution algorithm to solve continuous optimization problems of heading angles,which ensures maximum search coverage for targets.Largescale experiments conducted in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans demonstrate the framework's effectiveness:(1)Precise capture of sonar detection range variations from 5.45 km to 50 km in heterogeneous marine environments.(2)Significant speedup of 453.43×for acoustic physics modeling through hybrid parallelization.(3)Notable improvements of 7.23%in detection coverage and 15.86%reduction in optimization time compared to the optimal baseline method.The framework provides a robust solution for underwater search missions in complex marine environments.

文摘Oxygen evolution reaction(OER)is a key step in hydrogen production by water electrolysis technology.How-ever,developing efficient,stable,and low-cost OER electrocatalysts is still challenging.This article presents the preparation of a series of novel copper iridium nanocatalysts with heterostructures and low iridium content for OER.The electrochemical tests revealed higher OER of Cu@Ir_(0.3) catalyst under acidic conditions with a generated current density of 10 mA/cm^(2) at only 284 mV overpotential.The corresponding OER mass activity was estimated to be 1.057 A/mgIr,a value 8.39-fold higher than that of the commercial IrO_(2).After 50 h of endurance testing,the Cu@Ir_(0.3) catalyst preserved excellent catalytic activity with a negligible rise in overpotential and maintained a good heterostructures.Cu@Ir_(0.3) The excellent OER activity can be attributed to its heterostructure,as con-firmed by density functional theory(DFT)calculations,indicating that Cu@Ir The coupling between isoquanta causes charge redistribution,optimizing the adsorption energy of unsaturated Ir sites for oxygen intermediates and reducing the energy barrier of OER free energy determining the rate step.In summary,this method provides a new approach for designing efficient,stable,and low iridium content OER catalysts.

文摘The dissimilar 2B06 and 7B04 Al alloy joints were prepared by refill friction stir spot welding(RFSSW),and the microstructural evolution and corrosion behavior of the joints were investigated.Based on microstructural analysis,the welded joints exhibit distinct microstructural zones,including the stir zone(SZ),thermomechanically affected zone(TMAZ),and heat-affected zone(HAZ).The grain size of each zone is in the order of HAZ>TMAZ>SZ.Notably,the TMAZ and HAZ contain significantly larger secondary-phase particles compared to the SZ,with particle size in the HAZ increasing at higher rotational speeds.Electrochemical tests indicate that corrosion susceptibility follows the sequence of HAZ>TMAZ>SZ>BM,with greater sensitivity observed at increased rotational speeds.Post-corrosion mechanical performance degradation primarily arises from crevice corrosion at joint overlaps,but not from the changes in the microstructure.

文摘The evolution of the S'precipitate in Al−Cu−Mg alloy was investigated using transmission electron microscopy(TEM),high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy(HAADF−STEM),molecular dynamics(MD)simulations,and other analytical techniques.The precipitation behavior during different aging stages of the supersaturated solid solution formed after rapid cold punching was focused,which induces rapid dissolution of precipitates.The findings reveal that the precipitation sequence is significantly influenced by aging temperature.At higher aging temperatures,which mitigate lattice distortion in the matrix,the precipitation sequence follows the conventional path.Conversely,at lower aging temperatures,where lattice distortion persists,the sequence deviates,suppressing the formation of Guinier−Preston−Bagaryatsky(GPB)zones.MD simulations confirm that the variations in solute atom diffusion rates at different aging temperatures lead to the differences in the S'phase precipitation sequence.
