But it should be noted that the installation of said works is not without consequences for the countries concerned. Benin, a country in the Gulf of Guinea, is no exception to this phenomenon because, due to its maritime history, it has a heritage of port structures. These structures, built on its coastline, cause a wide variety of environmental problems such as silting and erosion on either side of them. The general objective of this article is to contribute to the proper functionality of port facilities while minimizing environmental problems that may arise. It aims to provide managers with a tool allowing them to fully understand the state of their assets in order to rationalize maintenance actions. In order to achieve this objective, an assessment of the state of the structure, and then a structural diagnosis are necessary and recommendations can be established to restore the level of service of the latter. As a result, two examples were presented: the wharf of the Sèmè-Podji pipeline project and the maritime piles project of the Wasco de Gama bridge (control project), and recommendations adapted to this objective were established. The comparative analysis of the two examples, both maritime works, revealed an under-sizing at the level of the spans of the wharf bridge of the Sèmè-Podji pipeline project (spans of 7 m in length), while these spans vary on average by 45 m to 62 m for the Wasco da Gama bridge. Bringing the piles closer together at the Sèmè-Podji wharf reduces the energy of the current which promotes the accumulation of sediment. The structure no longer experiences a flow capable of setting in motion the sands accumulated since at least 2022. This element appears to be a fundamental characteristic explaining the erosion observed to the east of the structure.展开更多
Metallic glass matrix composites(BMGCs)with compositions of[(Zr_(0.5)Cu_(0.5))_(0.925)Al_(0.07)Sn_(0.005)]_(100-x)Ta_(x)(atomic fraction,%,x=3,5,7)were successfully prepared via dealloying in metallic melt.The reinfor...Metallic glass matrix composites(BMGCs)with compositions of[(Zr_(0.5)Cu_(0.5))_(0.925)Al_(0.07)Sn_(0.005)]_(100-x)Ta_(x)(atomic fraction,%,x=3,5,7)were successfully prepared via dealloying in metallic melt.The reinforcing phase in these alloys has core-shell hybrid structure with Ta-rich particles as core and B2-CuZr as shell.In this method,the dealloyed Ta from Zr-Ta pre-alloys maintained in solid state and aggregated to form the fine Ta-rich phase in the final products.This effectively decreases the size of Ta-rich phase compared with that prepared via conventional arc-melting,where the Ta-rich phase was formed through dissolving and precipitation.Among the three compositions,[(Zr_(0.5)Cu_(0.5))_(0.925)Al_(0.07)Sn_(0.005)]_(95)Ta_(5) showed the highest plastic strain of 11.2%,much higher than that of the arc-melted counterparts(4.3%).Such improvement in mechanical properties was related with the refined core-shell hybrid reinforcing structure,which could hinder the rapid propagation of main shear band more efficiently and cause them to branch and proliferate at the interface.展开更多

The La0.8Mg0.2Ni3.3Co0.2Six （x=0-0.2） electrode alloys were prepared by casting and annealing. The effects of adding Si on the structure and electrochemical hydrogen storage characteristics of the alloys were investigated systematically. The results indicate that the as-cast and annealed alloys hold multiple structures, involving two major phases of （La, Mg）2Ni7 with a Ce2Ni7-type hexagonal structure and LaNi5 with a CaCu5-type hexagonal structure as well as one residual phase LaNi3. The addition of Si results in a decrease in （La, Mg）2Ni7 phase and an increase in LaNi5 phase without changing the phase structure of the alloys. What is more, it brings on an obvious effect on electrochemical hydrogen storage characteristics of the alloys. The discharge capacities of the as-cast and annealed alloys decline with the increase of Si content, but their cycle stabilities clearly grow under the same condition. Furthermore, the measurements of the high rate discharge ability, the limiting current density, hydrogen diffusion coefficient as well as electrochemical impedance spectra all indicate that the electrochemical kinetic properties of the electrode alloys first increase and then decrease with the rising of Si content.展开更多

Consequently, the new software package can be used in a Limited Area Network (LAN) with 4 different levels of authorities for different users. Therefore, the welding documents, including DWPS (Design for Welding Procedure Specifications), PQRs (Procedure Qualification Records) and WPS (Welding Procedure Specifications) can be shared within a company. At the same time, the system provides users various functions such as browsing, copying, editing, searching and printing records, and helps users to make decision of whether a new PQR test is necessary or not according to the codes above as well. Furthermore, super users can also browse the history of record modification and retrieve the records when needed.展开更多

The phase structure and element distribution of the alloys were analyzed by X-ray diffraction（XRD） and scanning electron microscope（SEM）. The alloys were applied ball milling to obtain powders with good size distribution and then magnetic aligned in a static magnetic field of 2 T for 4 h, in order to achieve the intrinsic magnetic properties by vibrating sample magnetometer（VSM）. XRD results showed that the alloys were composed of the single 2：14：1 main phase and RE-rich phase, which was similar to Nd_2Fe_（14）B structure. Magnetic measurements showed that the saturation magnetization（Ms） and anisotropy field（HA） of the MM_（33）Fe_（66）B alloy were 11.3 k Gs and 48.4 k Oe, respectively, demonstrating its good potential as permanent magnets. The Curie temperature of the MM_（33）Fe_（66）B alloy was determined as 502.9 K by magnetization-temperature curves. Microstructure observation showed that Nd and Pr were mainly in the 2：14：1 ferromagnetic phase, while La and Ce prefered to aggregate in the RE-rich grain boundary phase, which is beneficial to fabricating（Pr, Nd, MM）_2Fe_（14）B magnets with good magnetic properties.展开更多

The comparison of the population genetic structure of the two biotypes is of significance to show their invasive mechanism and to their control. The intersimple sequence repeats （ISSR） marker was used to analyze the 16 B-biotype populations and 4 Q-biotype populations worldwide with a Trialeurodes vaporariorum population in Shanxi Province, China, and a B. tabaci non-B/Qbiotype population in Zhejiang Province, China, was used as control populations. The analysis of genetic diversity showed that the diversity indexes of biotype Q including Nei＇s gene diversity index, Shannon informative index, and the percentage of polymorphic loci were higher than those of biotype B. The high genetic diversity of biotype Q might provide the genetic basis for the excellent ecological adaptation. Cluster analysis suggested that the ISSR could not be used in the phylogenetic analysis though it could easily distinguish the biotypes of B. tabaci. The difference of the population genetic structure between the biotype B and the biotype Q exists based on the ISSR marker. Meanwhile, the results suggested that the molecular marker has its limitation in the phylogenetic analysis among the biotypes of B. tabaci.展开更多

Scholars invest a lot of effort to introduce new materials. A neglected problem is that reasonable structure is as important as new material. In this review, four kinds of cathode structures were analyzed through morphology and electrochemical properties. The relationship between structures and properties was elaborated through reaction mechanism. The advantages and disadvantages of each structure were discussed. We hope the summary and discussion provide inspiration for structure design in Li–S battery cathode materials.展开更多

For the treatment of abandoned site of Beijing Coking Chemical Plant contaminated with high level of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons （HMW-PAHs）, a bacterial consortium capable of degrading HMW-PAHs, designated 1-18-1, was enriched and screened from HMW-PAHs contaminated soil. Its degrading ability was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）, and the community structure was investigated by construction and analyses of the 16S rRNA gene clone libraries （A, B and F） at different transfers. The results indicated that 1-18-1 was able to utilize pyrene, fluoranthene and benzo[a]pyrene as sole carbon and energy source for growth. The degradation rate of pyrene and fluoranthene reached 82.8% and 96.2% after incubation for 8 days at 30℃, respectively; while the degradation rate of benzo[a]pyrene was only 65.1% after incubation for 28 days at 30℃. Totally, 108, 100 and 100 valid clones were randomly selected and sequenced from the libraries A, B, and E Phylogenetic analyses showed that all the clones could be divided into 5 groups, Bacteroidetes, ct-Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, β-Proteobacteda and γ- Proteobacteria. Sequence similarity analyses showed total 39 operational taxonomic units （OTUs） in the libraries. The predominant bacterial groups were α-Proteobacteria （19 OTUs, 48.7%）, γ-Proteobacteria （90TUs, 23.1%） and β-Proteobacteria （80TUs, 20.5%）. During the transfer process, the proportions of α-Proteobacteria and β-Proteobacteria increased greatly （from 47% to 93%）, while γ-Proteobacteda decreased from 32% （library A） to 6% （library F）; and Bacteroidetes group disappeared in libraries B and F.展开更多

It was found that the HPDC under the vacuum could significantly change the morphology and distribution of the microstructure. For both conventional and vacuum-assist HPDC processes, the externally solidified crystals （ESCs） tended to aggregate in the center along the thickness direction of the castings. Besides, the aggregation was more pronounced, and the number of ESCs decreased, and the ESCs tended to become smaller and more globular, as the distance between the specimen location and runner increased. Compared with the conventional castings, the vacuum-assist HPDC can significantly reduce the size and amount of ESCs, and the ESCs tended to be more globular. For the distribution of ESCs along the thickness of the specimens, the aggregation tendency was more pronounced in vacuum-assist die castings than that in conventional castings. Besides, the distribution of ESCs at different locations was more converged in the vacuum-assist HPDC than that in the conventional HPDC.展开更多

In order to achieve this objective, an assessment of the state of the structure, and then a structural diagnosis are necessary and recommendations can be established to restore the level of service of the latter. As a result, two examples were presented: the wharf of the Sèmè-Podji pipeline project and the maritime piles project of the Wasco de Gama bridge (control project), and recommendations adapted to this objective were established. The comparative analysis of the two examples, both maritime works, revealed an under-sizing at the level of the spans of the wharf bridge of the Sèmè-Podji pipeline project (spans of 7 m in length), while these spans vary on average by 45 m to 62 m for the Wasco da Gama bridge. Bringing the piles closer together at the Sèmè-Podji wharf reduces the energy of the current which promotes the accumulation of sediment. The structure no longer experiences a flow capable of setting in motion the sands accumulated since at least 2022. This element appears to be a fundamental characteristic explaining the erosion observed to the east of the structure.

文摘In order to ameliorate the electrochemical hydrogen storage performance of La-Mg-Ni system A2B7-type electrode alloys, a small amount of Si was added. The La0.8Mg0.2Ni3.3Co0.2Six （x=0-0.2） electrode alloys were prepared by casting and annealing. The effects of adding Si on the structure and electrochemical hydrogen storage characteristics of the alloys were investigated systematically. The results indicate that the as-cast and annealed alloys hold multiple structures, involving two major phases of （La, Mg）2Ni7 with a Ce2Ni7-type hexagonal structure and LaNi5 with a CaCu5-type hexagonal structure as well as one residual phase LaNi3. The addition of Si results in a decrease in （La, Mg）2Ni7 phase and an increase in LaNi5 phase without changing the phase structure of the alloys. What is more, it brings on an obvious effect on electrochemical hydrogen storage characteristics of the alloys. The discharge capacities of the as-cast and annealed alloys decline with the increase of Si content, but their cycle stabilities clearly grow under the same condition. Furthermore, the measurements of the high rate discharge ability, the limiting current density, hydrogen diffusion coefficient as well as electrochemical impedance spectra all indicate that the electrochemical kinetic properties of the electrode alloys first increase and then decrease with the rising of Si content.

文摘γ-Secretase,called“the proteasome of the membrane,”is a membrane-embedded protease complex that cleaves 150+peptide substrates with central roles in biology and medicine,including amyloid precursor protein and the Notch family of cell-surface receptors.Mutations inγ-secretase and amyloid precursor protein lead to early-onset familial Alzheimer’s disease.γ-Secretase has thus served as a critical drug target for treating familial Alzheimer’s disease and the more common late-onset Alzheimer’s disease as well.However,critical gaps remain in understanding the mechanisms of processive proteolysis of substrates,the effects of familial Alzheimer’s disease mutations,and allosteric modulation of substrate cleavage byγ-secretase.In this review,we focus on recent studies of structural dynamic mechanisms ofγ-secretase.Different mechanisms,including the“Fit-Stay-Trim,”“Sliding-Unwinding,”and“Tilting-Unwinding,”have been proposed for substrate proteolysis of amyloid precursor protein byγ-secretase based on all-atom molecular dynamics simulations.While an incorrect registry of the Notch1 substrate was identified in the cryo-electron microscopy structure of Notch1-boundγ-secretase,molecular dynamics simulations on a resolved model of Notch1-boundγ-secretase that was reconstructed using the amyloid precursor protein-boundγ-secretase as a template successfully capturedγ-secretase activation for proper cleavages of both wildtype and mutant Notch,being consistent with biochemical experimental findings.The approach could be potentially applied to decipher the processing mechanisms of various substrates byγ-secretase.In addition,controversy over the effects of familial Alzheimer’s disease mutations,particularly the issue of whether they stabilize or destabilizeγ-secretase-substrate complexes,is discussed.Finally,an outlook is provided for future studies ofγ-secretase,including pathways of substrate binding and product release,effects of modulators on familial Alzheimer’s disease mutations of theγ-secretase-substrate complexes.Comprehensive understanding of the functional mechanisms ofγ-secretase will greatly facilitate the rational design of effective drug molecules for treating familial Alzheimer’s disease and perhaps Alzheimer’s disease in general.
文摘In this study,the casting process is used to fabricate modified polyvinyl alcohol(PVA),starch(S),and carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC)polymer blend films(PVA/S/CMC)loaded with various concentrations of irondoped carbon quantum dots(Fe-CQDs)and denoted as(PVA/S/CMC@Fe-CQDs).A one-step microwave strategy was employed as a facile method to prepare Fe-CQDs.Through a series of characterization techniques,fourier-transform infrared(FTIR)spectroscopy,x-ray diffraction(XRD)analysis,and scanning electron microscopy(SEM)have been used to show the successful integration of Fe-CQDs into the PVA/S/CMCmatrix.Loading the synthesized Fe-CQDs to the polymeric matrix significantly enhanced the mechanical properties of the films represented in the tensile strength,Young’s modulus,and hardness.However,the elongation decreased noticeably upon increasing the iron-doped carbon dots.The surface wettability was also studied by measuring the contact angle of the prepared films.The findings showed a noticeable elevation in these measurements by increasing the Fe-CQDs content,declaring the role of a hydrophobic character in these nanoparticles when introduced into a hydrophilic polymeric system.The dielectric characteristics of the reinforced polymer composite films were evaluated.These results revealed that the ac-conductivity of the investigated films was boosted with increasing Fe-CQDs’ratio and frequency.The PVA/S/CMC@Fe-CQDs films possess substantial potential for efficient energy storage applications.
文摘According to specifications for Welding Procedure Qualification of ASME IX Section and Chinese code, JB 4708 2000, a software package for managing welding documents has been rebuilt. Consequently, the new software package can be used in a Limited Area Network (LAN) with 4 different levels of authorities for different users. Therefore, the welding documents, including DWPS (Design for Welding Procedure Specifications), PQRs (Procedure Qualification Records) and WPS (Welding Procedure Specifications) can be shared within a company. At the same time, the system provides users various functions such as browsing, copying, editing, searching and printing records, and helps users to make decision of whether a new PQR test is necessary or not according to the codes above as well. Furthermore, super users can also browse the history of record modification and retrieve the records when needed.

文摘MM_（33）Fe_（66）B（MM=La, Ce, Pr, Nd） alloys（mass ratio） were prepared by induction melting and heat-treated at 1353 K for 24 h to produce homogeneous MM_2Fe_（14） B phase. The phase structure and element distribution of the alloys were analyzed by X-ray diffraction（XRD） and scanning electron microscope（SEM）. The alloys were applied ball milling to obtain powders with good size distribution and then magnetic aligned in a static magnetic field of 2 T for 4 h, in order to achieve the intrinsic magnetic properties by vibrating sample magnetometer（VSM）. XRD results showed that the alloys were composed of the single 2：14：1 main phase and RE-rich phase, which was similar to Nd_2Fe_（14）B structure. Magnetic measurements showed that the saturation magnetization（Ms） and anisotropy field（HA） of the MM_（33）Fe_（66）B alloy were 11.3 k Gs and 48.4 k Oe, respectively, demonstrating its good potential as permanent magnets. The Curie temperature of the MM_（33）Fe_（66）B alloy was determined as 502.9 K by magnetization-temperature curves. Microstructure observation showed that Nd and Pr were mainly in the 2：14：1 ferromagnetic phase, while La and Ce prefered to aggregate in the RE-rich grain boundary phase, which is beneficial to fabricating（Pr, Nd, MM）_2Fe_（14）B magnets with good magnetic properties.

文摘Bemisia tabaci （Gennadius） biotypes B and Q are two invasive biotypes in the species complex. The comparison of the population genetic structure of the two biotypes is of significance to show their invasive mechanism and to their control. The intersimple sequence repeats （ISSR） marker was used to analyze the 16 B-biotype populations and 4 Q-biotype populations worldwide with a Trialeurodes vaporariorum population in Shanxi Province, China, and a B. tabaci non-B/Qbiotype population in Zhejiang Province, China, was used as control populations. The analysis of genetic diversity showed that the diversity indexes of biotype Q including Nei＇s gene diversity index, Shannon informative index, and the percentage of polymorphic loci were higher than those of biotype B. The high genetic diversity of biotype Q might provide the genetic basis for the excellent ecological adaptation. Cluster analysis suggested that the ISSR could not be used in the phylogenetic analysis though it could easily distinguish the biotypes of B. tabaci. The difference of the population genetic structure between the biotype B and the biotype Q exists based on the ISSR marker. Meanwhile, the results suggested that the molecular marker has its limitation in the phylogenetic analysis among the biotypes of B. tabaci.

文摘Two racemic pairs of new stilbenoid dimers,(±)-heterosmilaxones A(1)and B(2),with unique 6/6/6and 6/5/7 tricyclic core systems,respectively,were isolated from the rhizomes of Heterosmilax yunnanensis.Their structures were elucidated through comprehensive spectroscopic analyses,quantum chemical calculations and X-ray diffraction crystallography.Compound(+)-1,initially reported as syagrusin A with a 1,4,4a,9a-tetrahydrofluoren-9-one skeleton,is now revised to a new structure characteristic with a benzo bicyclo[3.3.1]nonene scaffold.And compound 2 bears an unprecedented carbon skeleton with four continuous chiral centers in the central benzo bicyclo[4.2.1]nonene motif.Biogenetically,both 1 and2 were proposed to derive from 3,3',4,5,5'-pentahydroxy stilbene and could be generated through key inverse-electron-demand[4+2]and[5+2]cycloadditions,respectively.Interestingly,both(±)-1 and(±)-2 showed significant inhibition againstα-glucosidase.(±)-1 and its pure enantiomers could modulate protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B(PTP1B)enzyme activities and increased glucose consumption in HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner.

文摘Li–S battery is one of the most promising candidates for next-generation energy storage technology.However, the rapid capacity fading and low-energy-density limit its large-scale applications. Scholars invest a lot of effort to introduce new materials. A neglected problem is that reasonable structure is as important as new material. In this review, four kinds of cathode structures were analyzed through morphology and electrochemical properties. The relationship between structures and properties was elaborated through reaction mechanism. The advantages and disadvantages of each structure were discussed. We hope the summary and discussion provide inspiration for structure design in Li–S battery cathode materials.

文摘NLLoc is a nonlinear search positioning method.In this study,we use simulated arrival time data to quantitatively evaluate the NLLoc method from three aspects:arrival time picking accuracy,station distribution,and velocity model.The results show that the NLLoc method exhibits high positioning accuracy and stability in terms of arrival time picking accuracy and station distribution;however,it is sensitive to the velocity model.The positioning accuracy is higher when the velocity model is smaller than the true velocity.We combined absolute and relative positioning methods.First,we use the NLLoc method for absolute positioning of seismic data and then the double difference positioning method for relative positioning to obtain a more accurate relocation result.Furthermore,we used the combined method to locate the earthquake sequence after collecting dense seismic array data on the Luanzhou M_(S)4.3 earthquake that occurred on April 16,2021,in Hebei Province.By fitting the fault plane with the relocated earthquake sequences,the results show that the strike and dip angles of the seismogenic fault of the Luanzhou M_(S)4.3 earthquake are 208.5°and 85.6°,respectively.This indicates a high-dip angle fault with North-North-East strike and North-West dip directions.Furthermore,we infer that the seismogenic fault of the Luanzhou M_(S)4.3 earthquake is the Lulong fault.

文摘Inoculation with efficient microbes had been proved to be the most important way for the bioremediation of polluted environments. For the treatment of abandoned site of Beijing Coking Chemical Plant contaminated with high level of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons （HMW-PAHs）, a bacterial consortium capable of degrading HMW-PAHs, designated 1-18-1, was enriched and screened from HMW-PAHs contaminated soil. Its degrading ability was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）, and the community structure was investigated by construction and analyses of the 16S rRNA gene clone libraries （A, B and F） at different transfers. The results indicated that 1-18-1 was able to utilize pyrene, fluoranthene and benzo[a]pyrene as sole carbon and energy source for growth. The degradation rate of pyrene and fluoranthene reached 82.8% and 96.2% after incubation for 8 days at 30℃, respectively; while the degradation rate of benzo[a]pyrene was only 65.1% after incubation for 28 days at 30℃. Totally, 108, 100 and 100 valid clones were randomly selected and sequenced from the libraries A, B, and E Phylogenetic analyses showed that all the clones could be divided into 5 groups, Bacteroidetes, ct-Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, β-Proteobacteda and γ- Proteobacteria. Sequence similarity analyses showed total 39 operational taxonomic units （OTUs） in the libraries. The predominant bacterial groups were α-Proteobacteria （19 OTUs, 48.7%）, γ-Proteobacteria （90TUs, 23.1%） and β-Proteobacteria （80TUs, 20.5%）. During the transfer process, the proportions of α-Proteobacteria and β-Proteobacteria increased greatly （from 47% to 93%）, while γ-Proteobacteda decreased from 32% （library A） to 6% （library F）; and Bacteroidetes group disappeared in libraries B and F.

文摘A dinuclear copper（Ⅱ） complex,[Cu2（HL）2（H2O）6] 1（H3L = 2,4,6-tri（3-carboxy-phenylthio）-1,3,5-triazine）,was synthesized hydrothermally and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction,IR and thermal analysis.Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that complex 1 is a dinuclear copper（Ⅱ） complex,which is further extended to a 3D network by weak interactions such as O…H-O hydrogen bonds and noncovalent S...S interactions.The crystal of compound 1 belongs to monoclinic,space group C2/c,with a = 50.15（2）,b = 6.789（3）,c =15.667（8） ,β = 90.588（9）o,V = 5334（4） 3,Z = 4,C48H38Cu2N6O18S6,Mr = 1306.28,Dc = 1.627 g/cm3,F（000） = 2664,Rint = 0.0631,T = 293（2） K,μ = 1.112 mm-1,the final R = 0.0661 and wR = 0.1850 for 3782 observed reflections with I 2σ（I）.

文摘The structures in vacuum-assist high-pressure die casting （HPDC） AM60B alloy were studied by using an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive spectrometer. It was found that the HPDC under the vacuum could significantly change the morphology and distribution of the microstructure. For both conventional and vacuum-assist HPDC processes, the externally solidified crystals （ESCs） tended to aggregate in the center along the thickness direction of the castings. Besides, the aggregation was more pronounced, and the number of ESCs decreased, and the ESCs tended to become smaller and more globular, as the distance between the specimen location and runner increased. Compared with the conventional castings, the vacuum-assist HPDC can significantly reduce the size and amount of ESCs, and the ESCs tended to be more globular. For the distribution of ESCs along the thickness of the specimens, the aggregation tendency was more pronounced in vacuum-assist die castings than that in conventional castings. Besides, the distribution of ESCs at different locations was more converged in the vacuum-assist HPDC than that in the conventional HPDC.

文摘This study investigated differences in the community structure and environmental responses of the bacterial community in sediments of the Bohai Sea.Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology and real-time PCR were used to assay the bacterial 16S rRNA genes in the surface sediments of 13 sampling stations in the Bohai Sea.The results showed that sediments at the majority of the 13 sampling stations were contaminated by heavy metal mercury.The main phyla of bacteria recorded included Proteobacteria(52.92%),Bacteroidetes(11.76%),Planctomycetes(7.39%),Acidobacteria(6.53%)and Chloroflexi(4.97%).The genus with the highest relative abundance was Desulfobulbus(4.99%),which was the dominant genus at most sampling stations,followed by Lutimonas and Halioglobus.The main factors influencing bacterial community structure were total organic carbon,followed by depth and total phosphorus.The content of lead,cadmium,chromium,copper and zinc had a consistent effect on community structure.Arsenic showed a negative correlation with bacterial community structure in most samples,while the impact of mercury on community structure was not significant.The bacterial community in sediment samples from the Bohai Sea was rich in diversity and displayed an increase in diversity from high to low latitudes.The data indicated that the Bohai Sea had abundant microbial resources and was rich in bacteria with the potential to metabolize many types of pollutants.

The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system, space group P21/n, with a = 8.3674（11）, b = 10.6683（14）, c = 11.3817（15） A, a = 95.596（2）, β = 109.866（2）, γ = 94.495（2）°, V= 944.2（2）A^3, Z= 2, Dc = 1.310 g/cm3, μ= 0.089 mm^-1, F（000） = 392, R = 0.0482 and wR = 0.1281 for 2916 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ（I）. In the crystal structure, the fused tricyclic nucleus of the title compound is not fully coplanar. Analysis of the crystal packing indicates aromatic π-π stacking interactions occurring between the fused tricyclic aromatic rings of neighboring molecules in which a maximum overlap of the x-electron systems was achieved. Fluorescence and thermal studies indicate that compound 3 has good optical properties and thermal stability.
