In recent years, C. Cotardo has introduced coding theory into neuroscience, proposing the concept of combinatorial neural codes. And it was further studied in depth using algebraic methods by C. Curto. In this paper, we construct a class of combinatorial neural codes with special properties based on classical combinatorial structures such as orthogonal Latin rectangle, disjoint Steiner systems, groupable designs and transversal designs. These neural codes have significant weight distribution properties and large minimum distances, and are thus valuable for potential applications in information representation and neuroscience. This study provides new ideas for the construction method and property analysis of combinatorial neural codes, and enriches the study of algebraic coding theory.展开更多

文摘This article investigates the time-varying output group formation tracking control(GFTC)problem for heterogeneous multi-agent systems(HMASs)under switching topologies.The objective is to design a distributed control strategy that enables the outputs of the followers to form the desired sub-formations and track the outputs of the leader in each subgroup.Firstly,novel distributed observers are developed to estimate the states of the leaders under switching topologies.Then,GFTC protocols are designed based on the proposed observers.It is shown that with the distributed protocol,the GFTC problem for HMASs under switching topologies is solved if the average dwell time associated with the switching topologies is larger than a fixed threshold.Finally,an example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

文摘Southern China has high temperatures and receives concentrated rainfall;therefore,the two-crop-a-year cultivation system has been applied to grape production so as to resolve the problem of relative seasonal surplus of grape yield.However,a common issue associated with this technique is the tendency of the second season fruits to be smaller than the first season fruits.We here used the first and second season fruits of‘Summer Black'at different ripening stages as research materials.Phenotypic and histological analyses revealed fewer cell number occurring between 7 and 14 days post anthesis(DPA)in the second season fruits,which ultimately resulted in a smaller fruit size compared with the first season fruits.To unravel the mechanism underlying this phenomenon,first and second season fruits of four time periods(7,14,21,and 28 DPA)were selected for RNA-seq analysis.This analysis identified 10431 differentially expressed genes(DEGs).These DEGs were classified into 9 clusters through GO and KEGG enrichment analyses.Then the time-ordered gene co-expression network(TO-GCN)analysis with the breadth-first search algorithm showed that DEGs in the GCN were divided into 8 levels.The DEGs of early berry development(L1-L3)were enriched in heat stress-and cell division-related pathways.The field investigation of effective accumulated temperature confirmed that the growth and development of the second season fruits were subjected to high temperature stress during 7-14 DPA.Moreover,based on the results of interactive analysis of TO-GCN and transcriptional regulation prediction of L1-L3 genes,we constructed a unique hierarchical regulatory network for the heat stress regulation of berry size.The expression level of 5 candidate genes was verified through qRT-PCR.Vitvi10g00469(HSFB2A),Vitvi16g00982(HSFB2A),Vitvi02g00387(HSFB2B),Vitvi15g01542(NTL9),and Vitvi06g00592(DIVARICATA)were upregulated in 7-14 DPA,whereas Vitvi18g00777(HSFB4)was downregulated in 7 DPA.These results suggest that during intense cell division,heat stress might act as a major factor causing a reduction in cell number,thereby ultimately resulting in the smaller size of the second season fruits.

文摘Cell division is a fundamental biological process in which a parent cell divides into two daughter cells.The cell cortex,a thin layer primarily composed of actin filaments and myosin motors beneath the plasma membrane,plays a critical role in ensuring proper cell division.In this study,we apply a hydrodynamic model to describe the actin cortex as an active nematic surface,incorporating orientational order arising from actin filament alignment and anisotropic active stress produced by myosin motors.By analyzing the linearized dynamics,we investigate how shape,flow,and stress regulators evolve over time when the surface deviates slightly from a sphere.Our findings reveal that the active alignment of actin filaments,often overlooked in previous studies,is crucial for successful division.Furthermore,we demonstrate that a cortical chiral flow naturally emerges as a consequence of this active alignment.Overall,our results provide a mechanistic explanation for key phenomena observed during cell division,offering new insights into the role of active stress and filament alignment in cortical dynamics.

文摘BACKGROUND Pancreatic cancer(PC)is an aggressive malignancy.As a member of the BTN/BTNL family,BTNL9 has been identified as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer,lung adenocarcinoma,and colon cancer;however,its role and underlying mechanisms in PC remain to be elucidated.AIM To investigate the role of BTNL9 in the pathogenesis and development of PC.METHODS The difference of BTNL9 expression in cancer and adjacent normal tissues was analyzed by RNA sequencing data from a public database and tissue microarray detection.The relationship between BTNL9 expression and the prognosis of patients was also studied.The effects of BTNL9 on proliferation,metastasis,and cell cycle of PC cells were investigated by phenotypic experiments.The mechanism was investigated by RNA sequencing,western blotting,and immunofluorescence detection.RESULTS The mRNA and protein levels of BTNL9 in PC tissues were downregulated compared with normal tissues.Based on survival data from The Cancer Genome Atlas and tissue microarray,BTNL9 was an independent influencing factor for overall survival,and its low expression predicted a shortened overall survival of patients.In vitro,BTNL9 could inhibit cell proliferation and metastasis in both PANC-1 and MIA PaCa-2 cells and induce cell cycle arrest in G2/M phases.Downregulation of BTNL9 could activate the cell cycle signaling pathway.Furthermore,overexpression of BTNL9 could significantly inhibit the expression of cell division cycle 20(CDC20).Rescue experiments demonstrated that overexpression of CDC20 reversed the effect of BTNL9 on the proliferation,metastasis,and cell cycle of PC cells.CONCLUSION The expression of BTNL9 was downregulated in PC,and it has the prediction ability for prognosis.Functionally,BTNL9 exerted an anti-cancer effect by suppressing downstream CDC20 expression in PC.
文摘Using data from the 2022 China Family Panel Studies(CFPS),this study selects 11,375 dual-spouse households as the research sample and constructs a comprehensive housework division index via the entropy weight method.The index integrates four dimensions:participation subject,time allocation,content type,and fairness perception,aiming to explore the fairness level of housework division and group differences in Chinese households.The results show that the overall fairness of housework division in Chinese households is relatively low:the mean value of the index(after 10,000-fold linear expansion)is 0.0632,showing a significant right-skewed distribution,with most households concentrated in the"low-fairness"range and only a few achieving relatively balanced division.Significant group differences exist:rural households have a slightly higher housework division index(0.0659)than urban households(0.0608);male respondents have a higher index(0.0660)than female respondents(0.0603);and the high-education group has a significantly lower index(0.0501)than the low-education group(0.0653).The fairness of housework division is jointly influenced by structural factors and perceptual factors,with an obvious"concept-action gap":74.02%of respondents perceive housework division as"fair",but the low index level indicates this perception mostly stems from normative adaptation rather than objective balance.This study provides empirical evidence for optimizing family labor allocation and promoting gender equality.
