[Method] Flowers,the 1st,the 3rd,the 6th and the 14th leaves from the top of 33B,GK12 and SGK321 were used to feed S. exigua neonates respectively. Survival larvae and dead ones were counted on the 3rd,the 7th,the 10th,the 16th and the 19th day; meanwhile,the pupae amount was recorded,and the pupae weight was measured at the 24th h after pupation. [Result] The survival curves,pupation rates and pupae weights of S. exigua feeding on different tissues of transgenic cotton were not significantly different from those of S. exigua feeding on the corresponding tissues of conventional cotton; pupation rate of S. exigua feeding on different leaves of the same cotton variety were not significantly different from each other,but all higher than that of S. exigua feeding on the flowers of that cotton; and there were no differences among pupation weights of S. exigua feeding on different leaves or flowers of the same cotton variety. [Conclusion] Transgenic cotton showed weak resistance to S. exigua. Hence,in the transgenic cotton fields,more attention should be paid to occurrence trend of S. exigua and its control.展开更多

文摘Dental mesenchymal stem cells(DMSCs)are pivotal for tooth development and periodontal tissue health and play an important role in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine because of their multidirectional differentiation potential and self-renewal ability.The cellular microenvironment regulates the fate of stem cells and can be modified using various optimization techniques.These methods can influence the cellular microenvironment,activate disparate signaling pathways,and induce different biological effects.“Epigenetic regulation”refers to the process of influencing gene expression and regulating cell fate without altering DNA sequences,such as histone methylation.Histone methylation modifications regulate pivotal transcription factors governing DMSCs differentiation into osteo-/odontogenic lineages.The most important sites of histone methylation in tooth organization were found to be H3K4,H3K9,and H3K27.Histone methylation affects gene expression and regulates stem cell differentiation by maintaining a delicate balance between major trimethylation sites,generating distinct chromatin structures associated with specific downstream transcriptional states.Several crucial signaling pathways associated with osteogenic differentiation are susceptible to modulation via histone methylation modifications.A deeper understanding of the regulatory mechanisms governing histone methylation modifications in osteo-/odontogenic differentiation and immune-inflammatory responses of DMSCs will facilitate further investigation of the epigenetic regulation of histone methylation in DMSC-mediated tissue regeneration and inflammation.Here is a concise overview of the pivotal functions of epigenetic histone methylation at H3K4,H3K9,and H3K27 in the regulation of osteo-/odontogenic differentiation and renewal of DMSCs in both non-inflammatory and inflammatory microenvironments.This review summarizes the current research on these processes in the context of tissue regeneration and therapeutic interventions.

文摘The reservoir landslide is typically characterized by high-speed movement of a particle-fluid mixture,and its flow and deposit mechanisms are complex.This paper presents the mechanism of submerged granular column collapse under different densities ambient fluids based on coupled computational fluid dynamics and discrete element method(CFD-DEM)analysis.Important fluid-particle interaction forces,such as the drag force and the buoyancy,are considered by exchanging interaction forces between the CFD and DEM computations.We focus on the flow and deposit characteristics of submerged granular column collapse,namely the runout distance,the tail end height,the particle velocity,the energy,and deposit morphology,which are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively.The change in fluid field caused by submerged granular column collapse and the formation of eddies are also discussed.A relatively dense fluid can significantly hinder the motion of granular flow,but can improve the conversion efficiency of kinetic energy from the vertical to the horizontal direction.Moreover,the eddies caused by fluid turbulence erode the surface of the granular pile,which is especially marked in a high-density fluid.The findings can provide vital theoretical support for the flow and deposit characteristics of granular flow under fluid and offer insights for the study of reservoir landslides.

文摘Understanding the characteristics of windsand flow field in the curve section of desert highway under different wind directions is helpful for reducing the wind-sand damage in the curve section.Therefore,taking the desert section of Wuma Expressway in Zhongwei city,Ningxia,China as the research background,the wind-sand flow field and sand accumulation phenomenon of concave surface plane curve embankment under different wind directions is calculated and analyzed by computational fluid dynamics(CFD)numerical simulation method.The results show that:(1)Under different wind directions,along the direction of the route,at the starting point of the route,the windward slope of the embankment is a circular arc section,which reduces the resistance of wind-sand flow and promotes the acceleration of sand particles.In the middle of the route,the low-speed area of the windward slope toe and the leeward slope toe is small;at the end of the route,the high-speed area on the shoulder side of the leeward road rises upward.(2)Under different wind directions,the smaller the angle between the wind direction and the route,the stronger the lateral transport effect on the wind-blown sand flow,and the more sand particles transported along the route direction.(3)Under different wind directions,in the concave windward horizontal curve,with the increase of the angle,the sand area on the top of the embankment shows an increasing trend.Whenα=30°,45°,60°,75°,the percentage of the sand area on the top of the embankment to the total embankment area is 0%,33.3%,64.4%,71.0%,respectively.(4)Under different wind directions,along the route direction,the sand transport efficiency of the concave surface upwind plane curve embankment shows a decreasing trend.In the case of a certain radius of the horizontal curve,the angle range between the wind direction and the concave horizontal curve route is recommended to be 30°-45°.

文摘Reasonable greening design can effectively alleviate campus heat environment issues.This study uses the ENVI-met numerical model,along with in-situ observations and simulations,to analyze the thermal environment under three different greening schemes in typical areas of the Guangzhou University campus.The results indicate that the outdoor thermal environment is significantly influenced by the underlying surface materials and vegetation.The temperature of brick-paved surface is 0.9℃higher than that of natural soil surfaces under tree shade.Numerical simulations further confirm that increasing vegetation coverage effectively reduces outdoor air temperature.When the greening rate increases to 40%,the outdoor average temperature decreases by 0.7℃and relative humidity increases by approximately 4%,while wind speed remains minimal change.The cooling effect of vegetation is found to extend vertically to an altitude of 13 m.As the greening rate increases from 15%to 40%,the Mean Radiant Temperature(MRT)decreases from 50.6℃to 28.9℃,which is lower than the average ambient temperature,indicating improved thermal conditions.The Physiological Equivalent Temperature(PET)decreases from 40.2℃to 30.0℃,with the proportion of the areas classified as″very hot″reducing by 36.8%,significantly improving thermal comfort across most areas.Therefore,changing the ground material and greening landscape design can effectively alter the outdoor wind and thermal environment of the campus,thereby enhancing the thermal comfort for the campus community.

文摘Improving the comprehensive performance of anion exchange membranes(AEMs)has a decisive impact on the wide application of anion exchange membrane fuel cells(AEMFCs).Herein,we prepared a series of new poly(phenanthrene-co-p-terphenyl piperidinium)(PPTP3F_(x)-DIL)AEMs with different fluorinated monomers for high performance AEMFCs.The polymerization of fluorinated monomers with other aryl monomers can effectively promote the separation of microphase in the membrane.It also has a high OH-conductivity at a low swelling.The membrane(PPTP3F_(4)-DIL)prepared by polycondensation of 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(p-tolyl)ethan 1-one monomer achieves a high conductivity of 168.5 mS cm^(-1)at 80℃.At the same time,the water uptake is 40.0%and the swelling ratio is 12.1%.In addition,these membranes also have good mechanical properties and alkaline stability.After 1440 h of treatment in a NaOH(2 M)solution at 80℃,PPTP3F_(x)-DIL still maintains excellent tensile strength(>30.3 MPa)and elongation at break(>43.4%),and the conductivity retention of the PPTP3F_(1)-DIL membrane is 90.3%.The PPTP3F_(4)-DIL-based single cell exhibits a high peak power density(918.1 mW cm^(-2))and excellent durability(100 h)at 80℃.Therefore,these PPTP3F_(x)-DIL membranes have a wide range of applications in AEMFCs.

文摘In rock mass and mining engineering,shock waves induced by engineering disturbances significantly affect rock mass stability.To explore the dynamic mechanical behavior and energy dissipation mechanisms of single-fractured composite rock masses under impact loading,a series of tests were conducted using a split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB)system with a 50 mm rod diameter.Specimens containing a single inclined fracture with seven different dip angles and located in different lithological layers were tested.The results show that both peak stress and peak strain exhibit a non-monotonic trend with increasing dip angleα-first decreasing,then increasing,reaching a minimum atα=45°.This behavior is attributed to enhanced energy concentration and dissipation in the fracture zone,where shear-dominated failure leads to more effective crack propagation and stress redistribution.Moreover,the proportion of crushing energy dissipation is significantly affected by the fracture dip angle,reaching a minimum atα=45°and a maximum atα=90°,indicating a transition from shear to tensile failure modes with increasing angle.Lithology also plays a crucial role:grey sandstone specimens absorbed more energy compared to yellow sandstone,implying higher impact resistance due to differences in microstructural cohesion.The evolution of fragment fractal dimension with increasing dip angle follows an"M-shaped"trend,reflecting changes in fragmentation intensity and failure mode.Notably,yellow sandstone tends to produce higher fractal dimensions,with larger mass but smaller volume of powdered debris,indicating more intense fragmentation.This study reveals the coupling effect of fracture dip angle and lithology on dynamic mechanical response and energy evolution,providing new insights into the failure mechanisms of layered composite rock masses under impact loading.

文摘Planetary surfaces,shaped by billions of years of geologic evolution,display numerous impact craters whose distribution of size,density,and spatial arrangement reveals the celestial body's history.Identifying these craters is essential for planetary science and is currently mainly achieved with deep learning-driven detection algorithms.However,because impact crater characteristics are substantially affected by the geologic environment,surface materials,and atmospheric conditions,the performance of deep learning models can be inconsistent between celestial bodies.In this paper,we first examine how the surface characteristics of the Moon,Mars,and Earth,along with the differences in their impact crater features,affect model performance.Then,we compare crater detection across celestial bodies by analyzing enhanced convolutional neural networks and U-shaped Convolutional Neural Network-based models to highlight how geology,data,and model design affect accuracy and generalization.Finally,we address current deep learning challenges,suggest directions for model improvement,such as multimodal data fusion and cross-planet learning and list available impact crater databases.This review can provide necessary technical support for deep space exploration and planetary science,as well as new ideas and directions for future research on automatic detection of impact craters on celestial body surfaces and on planetary geology.

文摘As emerging services continue to be explored,indoor communications geared towards different user requirements will face severe challenges such as larger penetration losses and more critical multipath issues,leading to difficulties in achieving flexible coverage.In this paper,we introduce transmissive reconfigurable intelligent surfaces(RISs)as intelligent passive auxiliary devices into indoor scenes,replacing conventional ultra-dense small cell and relay forwarding approaches to address these issues at low deployment and operation costs.Specifically,we study the optimization design of active and passive beamforming for the transmissive RISs-aided indoor multiuser downlink communication systems.This involves considering more realistic indoor congestion modeling and near-field propagation characteristics.The goal of our optimization is to minimize the total transmit power at the access point(AP)for different user service requirements,including quality-of-service(QoS)and wireless power transfer(WPT).Due to the nonconvex nature of the optimization problem,adaptive penalty coefficients are imported to solve it alternatively with closed-form solutions for both active and passive beamforming.Simulation results demonstrate that the use of transmissive RISs is indeed an efficient way to achieve flexible coverage in indoor scenarios.Furthermore,the proposed optimization algorithm has been proven to be effective and robust in achieving energy-saving transmission.
文摘The main purpose of this research is to optimize the hydrothermal performance of a dimpled tube by augmenting the surface area for heat transmission and thermal layer cracking.To achieve that,the impact of different dimple diameters and their distribution along the dimpled tube was investigated numerically using the ANSYS Fluent 2022 R1 software by considering two models,A and B.Both models consist of three regions;the first,second,and third have dimple diameters of 3,2,&1 mm,respectively.Model A included an in-line dimple arrangement,while model B involved a staggered dimple arrangement.The finite volume method(FVM)was used in the modeling techniques to address the turbulent flow problem,which ranged in this investigation from Re of 3000 to 8000.The cooling fluid used in this investigation is water,which concentrated primarily on single-phase flow conditions.The investigation results revealed that as the Re increased,all analyzed models showcased higher.A reduction in pressure drops,thermal resistance,Nu,and overall performance standards.Crucially,compared to the traditionalmodel,both suggested models demonstrated improved heat transmission capacities.Within all the models examined,the tube with dimples in(model B)as staggered showed the greatest enhancement in the Nu,which was almost double that of the conventional type.Model A and Model B have respective average total performance criteria of 1.23 and 1.34.

文摘The determination of discontinuity shear strength is an important concern in rock engineering.Previous research mainly focused on the shear behavior of discontinuities with identical joint wall compressive strengths(DIJCS).However,the shear behavior of discontinuities with different joint wall compressive strengths(DDJCS)and 3D surface morphology had been rarely reported.In this study,matched mortar DDJCSs were prepared using 3D printed photosensitive resin molds.Direct shear tests were carried out under three kinds of normal stress(ranging from 0.5 to 3.0 MPa)to analyze the shear strength and contact zones of DDJCS during shearing.The results show that the contact zones of DDJCS during shearing are scattered in the steep zones facing the shear direction.It is verified that Grasselli and Develi’s directional surface roughness characterization method can be used to predict the shear-induced potential contact zones of DDJCS.When the critical apparent dip angle is equal to the peak dilation angle,the predicted contact area agrees well with the actual contact area.A 3D directional roughness parameter with clear physical meaning was introduced to characterize discontinuity surface roughness.A 3D modified joint roughness coefficient-joint wall compressive strength(JRC-JCS)criterion that can both predict the shear strength of DDJCS and DIJCS was proposed based on the newly defined roughness parameter.The proposed criterion was validated by 77 direct shear tests presented by this study and 163 direct shear tests presented by other investigators.The results show that the proposed criterion was generally reliable for the peak shear strength prediction of DDJCS and DIJCS(within 16%).It is also found that the new criterion can capture the anisotropy of the peak shear strength of DDJCS.The anisotropy of DDJCS decreases with increasing normal stress.It should be noted that the anisotropy of the shear strength of DDJCS was not investigated experimentally,and further experiments should be conducted to verify it.

文摘Objective Magnetoencephalography(MEG),a non-invasive neuroimaging technique,meticulously captures the magnetic fields emanating from brain electrical activity.Compared with MEG based on superconducting quantum interference devices(SQUID),MEG based on optically pump magnetometer(OPM)has the advantages of higher sensitivity,better spatial resolution and lower cost.However,most of the current studies are clinical studies,and there is a lack of animal studies on MEG based on OPM technology.Pain,a multifaceted sensory and emotional phenomenon,induces intricate alterations in brain activity,exhibiting notable sex differences.Despite clinical revelations of pain-related neuronal activity through MEG,specific properties remain elusive,and comprehensive laboratory studies on pain-associated brain activity alterations are lacking.The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of inflammatory pain(induced by Complete Freund’s Adjuvant(CFA))on brain activity in a rat model using the MEG technique,to analysis changes in brain activity during pain perception,and to explore sex differences in pain-related MEG signaling.Methods This study utilized adult male and female Sprague-Dawley rats.Inflammatory pain was induced via intraplantar injection of CFA(100μl,50%in saline)in the left hind paw,with control groups receiving saline.Pain behavior was assessed using von Frey filaments at baseline and 1 h post-injection.For MEG recording,anesthetized rats had an OPM positioned on their head within a magnetic shield,undergoing two 15-minute sessions:a 5-minute baseline followed by a 10-minute mechanical stimulation phase.Data analysis included artifact removal and time-frequency analysis of spontaneous brain activity using accumulated spectrograms,generating spectrograms focused on the 4-30 Hz frequency range.Results MEG recordings in anesthetized rats during resting states and hind paw mechanical stimulation were compared,before and after saline/CFA injections.Mechanical stimulation elevated alpha activity in both male and female rats pre-and post-saline/CFA injections.Saline/CFA injections augmented average power in both sexes compared to pre-injection states.Remarkably,female rats exhibited higher average spectral power 1 h after CFA injection than after saline injection during resting states.Furthermore,despite comparable pain thresholds measured by classical pain behavioral tests post-CFA treatment,female rats displayed higher average power than males in the resting state after CFA injection.Conclusion These results imply an enhanced perception of inflammatory pain in female rats compared to their male counterparts.Our study exhibits sex differences in alpha activities following CFA injection,highlighting heightened brain alpha activity in female rats during acute inflammatory pain in the resting state.Our study provides a method for OPM-based MEG recordings to be used to study brain activity in anaesthetized animals.In addition,the findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of pain-related neural activity and pain sex differences.

文摘[Objective] The aim was to learn the resistance of different tissues and organs of transgenic cotton to Spodoptera exigua （Hbner）. [Method] Flowers,the 1st,the 3rd,the 6th and the 14th leaves from the top of 33B,GK12 and SGK321 were used to feed S. exigua neonates respectively. Survival larvae and dead ones were counted on the 3rd,the 7th,the 10th,the 16th and the 19th day; meanwhile,the pupae amount was recorded,and the pupae weight was measured at the 24th h after pupation. [Result] The survival curves,pupation rates and pupae weights of S. exigua feeding on different tissues of transgenic cotton were not significantly different from those of S. exigua feeding on the corresponding tissues of conventional cotton; pupation rate of S. exigua feeding on different leaves of the same cotton variety were not significantly different from each other,but all higher than that of S. exigua feeding on the flowers of that cotton; and there were no differences among pupation weights of S. exigua feeding on different leaves or flowers of the same cotton variety. [Conclusion] Transgenic cotton showed weak resistance to S. exigua. Hence,in the transgenic cotton fields,more attention should be paid to occurrence trend of S. exigua and its control.
