In this study, specific length amplified fragment sequencing(SLAF-Seq) was used to resequence a population comprising 197 F8recombinantinbred lines(RILs) derived from a cross between vegetable-type Qichi881 and oilseed-type YufengZC of B. juncea. In total, 438,895 high-quality SLAFs were discovered, 47,644 of which were polymorphic, and 3,887 of the polymorphic markers met the requirements for genetic map construction. The final map included 3,887 markers on 18 linkage groups and was 1,830.23 centiMorgan(cM) in length, with an average distance of 0.47 cM between adjacent markers. Using the newly constructed high-density genetic map, a total of 53 QTLs for erucicacid(EA), oleic acid(OA), and linolenic acid(LNA) were detected and integrated into eight consensus QTLswith two for each of these traits. For each of these three traits, two candidate genes were cloned and sequence analysis indicated colocalization with their respective consensus QTLs. The co-dominant allele-specific markers for Bju.FAD3.A03 and Bju.FAD3.B07 were developed and showed co-localization with their consensus QTLs andco-segregation with LNA content, further supporting the results of QTL mapping and bioinformatic analysis. Theexpression levels of the cloned homologous genes were also determined, and the genes were tightly correlatedwith the EA, OA and LNA contents of different lines. The results of this study will facilitate the improvement offatty acid traits and molecular breeding of B. juncea. Further uses of the high-density genetic map created in this study are also discussed.展开更多

Selective neural network ensemble is an effective way to enhance the generalization accuracy of networks, but there are some problems, e.g., lacking of unified definition of diversity among component neural networks and difficult to improve the accuracy by selecting if the diversities of available networks are small. In this study, the output errors of networks are vectorized, the diversity of networks is defined based on the error vectors, and the size of ensemble is analyzed. Then an error vectorization based selective neural network ensemble (EVSNE) is proposed, in which the error vector of each network can offset that of the other networks by training the component networks orderly. Thus the component networks have large diversity. Experiments and comparisons over standard data sets and actual chemical process data set for production of high-density polyethylene demonstrate that EVSNE performs better in generalization ability.展开更多

文摘Evaluation of backfilling effectiveness plays a crucial role in the geological environment management and restoration of abandoned open-pit quarries,providing a scientific basis for subsequent greening efforts.Backfill soil,predominantly composed of silty clay,demonstrates high water retention capacity and elevated moisture content,leading to a pronounced resistivity contrast with the bedrock exposed by quarrying activities.To investigate the distribution of backfill soil subsurface and assess backfilling effectiveness in the study area,this study conducted a comprehensive geophysical investigation utilizing the high-density electrical resistivity tomography(ERT).A total of 19 ERT survey lines were deployed across three distinct areas in Liuyao Village,Huaibei City,Anhui Province,China.The inversion results,derived from both two-dimensional(2D)and three-dimensional(3D),reveal distinct electrical properties of the subsurface materials:the backfill soil layer shows low resistivity features,the fill stone layer exhibits medium to high resistivity,and the bedrock shows the highest resistivity.The 2D inversion results,from the data measured using the Wenner array effectively capture the spatial distribution and structural features of the backfill soil layer.The findings indicate a gradual east-west thinning of the clay layer within the quarry.Furthermore,the northern pit area exhibits a uniform distribution of backfill soil layer,indicative of effective backfilling operations.In contrast,the southern pit area lacks a well-defined clay layer,suggesting suboptimal backfilling effectiveness.

文摘High-density interconnect(HDI)soft electronics that can integrate multiple individual functions into one miniaturized monolithic system is promising for applications related to smart healthcare,soft robotics,and human-machine interactions.However,despite the recent advances,the development of three-dimensional(3D)soft electronics with both high resolution and high integration is still challenging because of the lack of efficient manufacturing methods to guarantee interlayer alignment of the high-density vias and reliable interlayer electrical conductivity.Here,an advanced 3D laser printing pathway,based on femtosecond laser direct writing(FLDW),is demonstrated for preparing liquid metal(LM)-based any layer HDI soft electronics.FLDW technology,with the characteristics of high spatial resolution and high precision,allows the maskless fabrication of high-resolution embedded LM microchannels and high-density vertical interconnect accesses for 3D integrated circuits.High-aspect-ratio blind/through LM microstructures are formed inside the elastomer due to the supermetalphobicity induced during laser ablation.The LM-based HDI circuit featuring high resolution(~1.5μm)and high integration(10-layer electrical interconnection)is achieved for customized soft electronics,including various customized multilayer passive electric components,soft multilayer circuit,and cross-scale multimode sensors.The 3D laser printing method provides a versatile approach for developing chip-level soft electronics.

文摘Dislocation strengthening,as one of the methods to simultaneously enhance the room temperature strength and ductility of alloys,does not achieve the desired strengthening and plasticity effect during elevated-temperature deformation.Here,we report a novel strategy to boost the dislocation multiplication and accumulation during deformation at elevated temperatures through dynamic strain aging(DSA).With the introduction of the rare-earth element Ho in Mg-Y-Zn alloy,Ho atoms diffuse toward dislocations during deformation at elevated temperatures,provoking the DSA effect,which increases the dislocation density significantly via the interactions of mobile dislocations and Ho atoms.The resulting alloy achieves a great enhancement of dislocation hardening and obtains the dual benefits of high strength and good ductility simultaneously at high homologous temperatures.The present work provides an effective strategy to enhancing the strength and ductility for elevated-temperature materials.
文摘In the context of rapid urbanization,high-density construction areas face significant challenges,including the reduction of ecological spaces and the deterioration of their functions.Planning and managing ecological spaces have emerged as essential strategies to address the conflict between urban development and ecological conservation.Using Jinjiang City,Fujian Province as the case study,this paper systematically examines the significance and primary challenges of ecological space planning in highdensity construction areas.It also identifies prevailing issues within the current research domain,including“an overemphasis on top-level design at the expense of implementation,a focus on isolated aspects rather than systemic integration,and prioritization of control over coordination”.This study proposes the key aspects of ecological space planning and management in high-density construction areas,focusing on three fundamental dimensions:human-centered demand orientation,the integration of top-down and bottomup linkage mechanisms,and a differentiated control system.Drawing on the full-element assessment of the ecosystem,ecological network construction,and full-process control system implemented in Jinjiang City,an integrated approach to ecological space governance,encompassing assessment,planning,and control,has been developed.This approach offers both theoretical insights and practical guidance for optimizing ecological spaces in comparable urban contexts.

文摘BACKGROUND The association between the uric acid-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio(UHR)and mental health among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)has not been thoroughly investigated.AIM To examine the link between UHR and symptoms of depression and anxiety in patients with T2DM.METHODS A cross-sectional analysis was carried out from March 2023 to April 2024,involving participants diagnosed with T2DM.Data on sociodemographic characteristics,clinical parameters,and UHR values were systematically gathered.The Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)were utilized to evaluate depressive and anxiety symptoms,respectively.To assess the relationships between UHR and SDS/SAS scores,linear regression models were employed,incorporating adjustments for potential confounding variables.Additionally,smooth curve fitting and threshold effect analyses were conducted to explore potential nonlinear relationships.RESULTS A total of 285 patients with T2DM were included.Initial univariate analysis demonstrated a significant positive correlation between elevated UHR levels and higher SDS and SAS scores.Multivariate regression analysis revealed that a one-unit rise in UHR was associated with a 1.13-point increase in SDS scores(95%CI:0.69-1.58)and a 0.57-point increase in SAS scores(95%CI:0.20-0.93).After controlling for confounders,UHR remained positively correlated with SDS(β=1.55,95%CI:0.57-2.53)and SAS(β=0.72,95%CI:0.35-1.09).Nonlinear analysis identified critical thresholds at UHR values of 5.02 for SDS and 4.00 for SAS,beyond which the relationships between UHR and psychological symptom scores became markedly stronger(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Higher UHR levels are significantly linked to exacerbated depressive and anxiety symptoms in patients with T2DM.These results indicate that UHR may function as a promising biomarker to identify individuals at greater risk of mental health complications within this population.

文摘Rapeseed mustard(Brassica juncea L.) is the third most important oilseed crop in the world, but the geneticmechanism underlying its massive phenotypic variation remains largely unexplored. In this study, specific length amplified fragment sequencing(SLAF-Seq) was used to resequence a population comprising 197 F8recombinantinbred lines(RILs) derived from a cross between vegetable-type Qichi881 and oilseed-type YufengZC of B. juncea. In total, 438,895 high-quality SLAFs were discovered, 47,644 of which were polymorphic, and 3,887 of the polymorphic markers met the requirements for genetic map construction. The final map included 3,887 markers on 18 linkage groups and was 1,830.23 centiMorgan(cM) in length, with an average distance of 0.47 cM between adjacent markers. Using the newly constructed high-density genetic map, a total of 53 QTLs for erucicacid(EA), oleic acid(OA), and linolenic acid(LNA) were detected and integrated into eight consensus QTLswith two for each of these traits. For each of these three traits, two candidate genes were cloned and sequence analysis indicated colocalization with their respective consensus QTLs. The co-dominant allele-specific markers for Bju.FAD3.A03 and Bju.FAD3.B07 were developed and showed co-localization with their consensus QTLs andco-segregation with LNA content, further supporting the results of QTL mapping and bioinformatic analysis. Theexpression levels of the cloned homologous genes were also determined, and the genes were tightly correlatedwith the EA, OA and LNA contents of different lines. The results of this study will facilitate the improvement offatty acid traits and molecular breeding of B. juncea. Further uses of the high-density genetic map created in this study are also discussed.

文摘Stroke survivors often face significant challenges when performing daily self-care activities due to upper limb motor impairments.Traditional surface electromyography(sEMG)analysis typically focuses on isolated hand postures,overlooking the complexity of object-interactive behaviors that are crucial for promoting patient independence.This study introduces a novel framework that combines high-density sEMG(HD-sEMG)signals with an improved Whale Optimization Algorithm(IWOA)-optimized Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)network to address this limitation.The key contributions of this work include:(1)the creation of a specialized HD-sEMG dataset that captures nine continuous self-care behaviors,along with time and posture markers,to better reflect real-world patient interactions;(2)the development of a multi-channel feature fusion module based on Pascal’s theorem,which enables efficient signal segmentation and spatial–temporal feature extraction;and(3)the enhancement of the IWOA algorithm,which integrates optimal point set initialization,a diversity-driven pooling mechanism,and cosine-based differential evolution to optimize LSTM hyperparameters,thereby improving convergence and global search capabilities.Experimental results demonstrate superior performance,achieving 99.58%accuracy in self-care behavior recognition and 86.19%accuracy for 17 continuous gestures on the Ninapro db2 benchmark.The framework operates with low latency,meeting the real-time requirements for assistive devices.By enabling precise,context-aware recognition of daily activities,this work advances personalized rehabilitation technologies,empowering stroke patients to regain autonomy in self-care tasks.The proposed methodology offers a robust,scalable solution for clinical applications,bridging the gap between laboratory-based gesture recognition and practical,patient-centered care.

文摘Chemical processes are complex, for which traditional neural network models usually can not lead to satisfactory accuracy. Selective neural network ensemble is an effective way to enhance the generalization accuracy of networks, but there are some problems, e.g., lacking of unified definition of diversity among component neural networks and difficult to improve the accuracy by selecting if the diversities of available networks are small. In this study, the output errors of networks are vectorized, the diversity of networks is defined based on the error vectors, and the size of ensemble is analyzed. Then an error vectorization based selective neural network ensemble (EVSNE) is proposed, in which the error vector of each network can offset that of the other networks by training the component networks orderly. Thus the component networks have large diversity. Experiments and comparisons over standard data sets and actual chemical process data set for production of high-density polyethylene demonstrate that EVSNE performs better in generalization ability.

文摘This paper presents a method based on a sample-decision(SD) circuit to suppress crosstalk and noise for a high-speed and high-density bus system.A method to count the number of times of SD for different length of transmission lines is presented and a bit error rates(BERs) formula is given by the SD circuit.It is shown that for long transmission line systems,multiple SD circuits can improve the BERs significantly.Circuits simulation for single SD method is also done,it is found that when the amplitude peak values of the superposed crosstalk and noise are less than half of the corresponding signal ones,they will be eliminated completely for the cases investigated.
文摘As an important geophysical tool,high density electrical technique infers the underground geological structures by processing and inverting the apparent resistivity data.Currently,the false anomalies have been frequently occurred in the graph of apparent resistivity pseudo-section or inverted geoelectrical section obtained from high-density electrical technique,and are difficult to remove.In this study,the authors explain the mechanism of the false anomalies and put forward the horizontal differential field method to identify the false anomalies.Based on the analysis of modeling results,this method is applied in the surveying data in Xinlei Quarry of Jiuquan,and the results confirm the effectiveness of the horizontal differential field method.
