文摘This research aims to study the bio-adsorption process of two dyes,Cibacron Green H3G(CG-H3G)and Terasil Red(TR),in a single system and to bring them closer to the industrial textile discharge by a binary mixture of two dyes(TR+CG-H3G).The Cockle Shell(CS)was used as a natural bio-adsorbent.The characterizations of CS were investigated by Fourier transform infrared(FTIR),X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX)and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller(BET).The adsorption potential of Cockle Shells was tested in two cases(single and binary system)and determined by:contact time(0–60 min),bio-adsorption dose(3–15 g/L),initial concentration(10–300 mg/L),temperature(22–61°C)and pH solution(2–12).The study of bio-adsorption(equilibrium and kinetics)was conducted at 22°C.The kinetic studies demon-strated that a pseudo-second-order adsorption mechanism had a good correlation coefficient(R2≥0.999).The Langmuir isotherm modeling provided a well-defined description of TR and CG-H3G bio-adsorption on cockle shells,exhibiting maximum capacities of 29.41 and 3.69 mg/g respectively at 22°C.The thermodynamic study shows that the reaction between the TR,CG-H3G dyes molecules and the bio-adsorbent is exothermic,spontaneous in the range of 22–31°C with the aleatory character decrease at the solid-liquid interface.The study of selectivity in single and binary systems has been performed under optimal operating conditions using the industrial textile rejection pH(pH=6.04).CG-H3G dye is found to have a higher selectivity than TR in single(0–60 min)and binary systems with a range of 6–45 min,as shown by the selectivity measurement.It was discovered that CS has the capability to remove both CG-H3G and TR dyes in both simple and binary systems,making it a superior bio-adsorbent.

文摘The potential of 2-amino-1-propanol(AP)as a novel depressant in selectively floating ilmenite from titanaugite under weakly acidic conditions was investigated.Micro-flotation results show that AP significantly reduces the recovery of titanaugite while having no evident impact on ilmenite flotation.Subsequent bench-scale flotation tests further confirm a remarkable improvement in separation efficiency upon the introduction of AP.Contact angle and adsorption tests reveal a stronger affinity of AP towards the titanaugite surface in comparison to ilmenite.Zeta potential measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)analyses exhibit favorable adsorption characteristics of AP on titanaugite,resulting from a synergy of electrostatic attraction and chemical interaction.In contrast,electrostatic repulsion hinders any significant interaction between AP and the ilmenite surface.These findings highlight the potential of AP as a highly efficient depressant for ilmenite flotation,paving the way for reduced reliance on sulfuric acid in the industry.

文摘Emerging new races of wheat stem rust(Puccinia graminis f.sp.tritici)are threatening global wheat(Triticum aestivum L.)production.Host resistance is the most effective and environmentally friendly method of controlling stem rust.The stem rust resistance gene Sr59 was previously identified within a T2DS 2RL wheat-rye whole arm translocation,providing broad-spectrum resistance to various stem rust races.Seedling evaluation,molecular marker analysis,and cytogenetic studies identified wheat-rye introgression line#284 containing a new translocation chromosome T2BL 2BS-2RL.This line has demonstrated broad-spectrum resistance to stem rust at the seedling stage.Seedling evaluation and cytogenetic analysis of three backcross populations between the line#284 and the adapted cultivars SLU-Elite,Navruz,and Linkert confirmed that Sr59 is located within the short distal 2RL translocation.This study aimed physical mapping of Sr59 in the 2RL introgression segment and develop a robust molecular marker for marker-assisted selection.Using genotyping-by-sequencing(GBS),GBS-derived SNPs were aligned with full-length annotated rye nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat(NLR)genes in the parental lines CS ph1b,SLU238,SLU-Elite,Navruz,and Linkert,as well as in 33 BC4F5progeny.Four NLR genes were identified on the 2R chromosome,with Chr2R_NLR_60 being tightly linked to the Sr59resistance gene.In-silico functional enrichment analysis of the translocated 2RL region(25,681,915 bp)identified 223 genes,with seven candidate genes associated with plant disease resistance and three linked to agronomic performance,contributing to oxidative stress response,protein kinase activity,and cellular homeostasis.These findings facilitate a better understanding of the genetic basis of stem rust resistance provided by Sr59.

文摘Psathyrostachys huashanica Keng ex P.C.Kuo(2n=2x=14,NsNs),a wild relative of wheat,represents a valuable germplasm resource for genetic improvement of wheat.We previously confirmed that a chromosome 7Ns from P.huashanica carries genes that accelerate heading and maturity in wheat.Here,we developed three small segment translocation lines(T7NsS-2BL 2BS,T7NsS-1AS 1AL#1,and T7NsS-1AS 1AL#2)along with one additional small segment translocation line(T7NsS-7BS 7BL)through^(60)Co-γ irradiation,identified using genomic in situ hybridization(GISH),fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH),and liquid chip array analyses.Our findings demonstrated that chromosome 7NsS contained a major early heading date gene,tentatively designated Ehd-7Ns,which was mapped to an approximate31.45 Mb region,corresponding to the short arm of wheat chromosome 7A(IWGSC RefSeq v1.0).The T7NsS-1AS 1AL#2 line exhibited no significant yield penalty and possessed superior agronomic traits relative to the other translocation lines in the field,making it a promising pre-breeding donor for breeding early maturing wheat.Furthermore,21 specific Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR(KASP)markers were developed based on transcriptome data,enabling effective tracing of alien chromosomal segments carrying this source of Ehd-7Ns in marker-assisted breeding.Collectively,these newly developed translocation lines and specific KASP markers will facilitate the transfer and utilization of favorable genes from P.huashanica chromosome 7Ns in future wheat breeding programs.

文摘In covert communications,joint jammer selection and power optimization are important to improve performance.However,existing schemes usually assume a warden with a known location and perfect Channel State Information(CSI),which is difficult to achieve in practice.To be more practical,it is important to investigate covert communications against a warden with uncertain locations and imperfect CSI,which makes it difficult for legitimate transceivers to estimate the detection probability of the warden.First,the uncertainty caused by the unknown warden location must be removed,and the Optimal Detection Position(OPTDP)of the warden is derived which can provide the best detection performance(i.e.,the worst case for a covert communication).Then,to further avoid the impractical assumption of perfect CSI,the covert throughput is maximized using only the channel distribution information.Given this OPTDP based worst case for covert communications,the jammer selection,the jamming power,the transmission power,and the transmission rate are jointly optimized to maximize the covert throughput(OPTDP-JP).To solve this coupling problem,a Heuristic algorithm based on Maximum Distance Ratio(H-MAXDR)is proposed to provide a sub-optimal solution.First,according to the analysis of the covert throughput,the node with the maximum distance ratio(i.e.,the ratio of the distances from the jammer to the receiver and that to the warden)is selected as the friendly jammer(MAXDR).Then,the optimal transmission and jamming power can be derived,followed by the optimal transmission rate obtained via the bisection method.In numerical and simulation results,it is shown that although the location of the warden is unknown,by assuming the OPTDP of the warden,the proposed OPTDP-JP can always satisfy the covertness constraint.In addition,with an uncertain warden and imperfect CSI,the covert throughput provided by OPTDP-JP is 80%higher than the existing schemes when the covertness constraint is 0.9,showing the effectiveness of OPTDP-JP.

文摘Increasing evidence showed that histone deacetylase 6(HDAC6)dysfunction is directly associated with the onset and progression of various diseases,especially cancers,making the development of HDAC6-targeted anti-tumor agents a research hotspot.In this study,artificial intelligence(AI)technology and molecular simulation strategies were fully integrated to construct an efficient and precise drug screening pipeline,which combined Voting strategy based on compound-protein interaction(CPI)prediction models,cascade molecular docking,and molecular dynamic(MD)simulations.The biological potential of the screened compounds was further evaluated through enzymatic and cellular activity assays.Among the identified compounds,Cmpd.18 exhibited more potent HDAC6 enzyme inhibitory activity(IC_(50)=5.41 nM)than that of tubastatin A(TubA)(IC_(50)=15.11 nM),along with a favorable subtype selectivity profile(selectivity index z 117.23 for HDAC1),which was further verified by the Western blot analysis.Additionally,Cmpd.18 induced G2/M phase arrest and promoted apoptosis in HCT-116 cells,exerting desirable antiproliferative activity(IC_(50)=2.59 mM).Furthermore,based on long-term MD simulation trajectory,the key residues facilitating Cmpd.18's binding were identified by decomposition free energy analysis,thereby elucidating its binding mechanism.Moreover,the representative conformation analysis also indicated that Cmpd.18 could stably bind to the active pocket in an effective conformation,thus demonstrating the potential for in-depth research of the 2-(2-phenoxyethyl)pyridazin-3(2H)-one scaffold.

文摘The literature on multi-attribute optimization for renewable energy source(RES)placement in deregulated power markets is extensive and diverse in methodology.This study focuses on the most relevant publications directly addressing the research problem at hand.Similarly,while the body of work on optimal location and sizing of renewable energy generators(REGs)in balanced distribution systems is substantial,only the most pertinent sources are cited,aligning closely with the study’s objective function.A comprehensive literature review reveals several key research areas:RES integration,RES-related optimization techniques,strategic placement of wind and solar generation,and RES promotion in deregulated powermarkets,particularly within transmission systems.Furthermore,the optimal location and sizing of REGs in both balanced and unbalanced distribution systems have been extensively studied.RESs demonstrate significant potential for standalone applications in remote areas lacking conventional transmission and distribution infrastructure.Also presents a thorough review of current modeling and optimization approaches for RES-based distribution system location and sizing.Additionally,it examines the optimal positioning,sizing,and performance of hybrid and standalone renewable energy systems.This paper provides a comprehensive review of current modeling and optimization approaches for the location and sizing of Renewable Energy Sources(RESs)in distribution systems,focusing on both balanced and unbalanced networks.

文摘ZGH401 alloy was prepared under varying laser power levels and scanning speeds by the orthogonal test method using selective laser melting(SLM).The effect of different energy densities on microstructure and mechanical properties of the formed alloy was investigated.The microstructure of ZGH401 was analyzed by scanning electron microscope,electron back-scattered diffraction,and electron probe microanalysis.The results show that the defects of the as-built ZGH401 are gradually reduced,the relative density is correspondingly enhanced with increasing the energy density,and the ultimate density can reach 99.6%.An increase in laser power leads to a corresponding rise in hardness of ZGH401,while a faster scanning speed reduces the residual stress in asbuilt ZGH401 samples.In addition,better tensile properties are achieved at room temperature due to more grain boundaries perpendicular to the build direction than parallel to the build direction.The precipitated phases are identified as carbides and Laves phases via chemical composition analysis,with fewer carbides observed at the molten pool boundaries than within the molten pools.

文摘Unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)swarm network consisting of a collection of micro UAVs can be used for many applications.It is well established that packet routing is a fundamental problem to achieve UAV collaboration.However,the highly dynamic nature of UAVs,frequently changing network topologies and security issues,poses significant challenges to packet forwarding in UAV networks.The existing topology-based routing protocols are not well suited in UAV network due to their high controlling overhead or excessive end-to-end delay.Geographic routing is regarded as a promising solution,as it only requires local information.In order to enhance the accuracy and security of geographic routing in highly dynamic UAV network,in this paper,we propose a new predictive geographic(PGeo)routing strategy with location verification.First,a detection mechanism is adopted to recognize malicious UAVs falsifying their location.Then,an accurate average service time of a packet in the medium access control(MAC)layer is derived to assist location prediction.The proposed delay model can provide a theoretical basis for future work,and our simulation results reveal that PGeo outstrips the existing geographic routing protocols in terms of packet delivery ratio in the presence of location spoofing behavior.
文摘We report a robust pillar-layered metal-organic framework,Zn‑tfbdc‑dabco(tfbdc:tetrafluoroterephthal-ate,dabco:1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane),featuring the fluorinated pore environment,for the preferential binding of propane over propylene and thus highly inverse selective separation of propane/propylene mixture.The inverse propane-selective performance of Zn‑tfbdc‑dabco for the propane/propylene separation was validated by single-component gas adsorption isotherms,isosteric enthalpy of adsorption calculations,ideal adsorbed solution theory calculations,along with the breakthrough experiment.The customized fluorinated networks served as a propane-trap to form more interactions with the exposed hydrogen atoms of propane,as unveiled by the simulation studies at the molecular level.With the advantage of inverse propane-selective adsorption behavior,high adsorption capacity,good cycling stability,and low isosteric enthalpy of adsorption,Zn‑tfbdc‑dabco can be a promising candidate adsorbent for the challenging propane/propylene separation to realize one-step purification of the target propylene substance.
文摘A novel method is developed by utilizing the fractional frequency based multirange rulers to precisely position the passive inter-modulation(PIM)sources within radio frequency(RF)cables.The proposed method employs a set of fractional frequencies to create multiple measuring rulers with different metric ranges to determine the values of the tens,ones,tenths,and hundredths digits of the distance.Among these rulers,the one with the lowest frequency determines the maximum metric range,while the one with the highest frequency decides the highest achievable accuracy of the position system.For all rulers,the metric accuracy is uniquely determined by the phase accuracy of the detected PIM signals.With the all-phase Fourier transform method,the phases of the PIM signals at all fractional frequencies maintain almost the same accuracy,approximately 1°(about 1/360 wavelength in the positioning accuracy)at the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)of 10 d B.Numerical simulations verify the effectiveness of the proposed method,improving the positioning accuracy of the cable PIM up to a millimeter level with the highest fractional frequency operating at 200 MHz.
