This study analyzed the maintenance stage of this event using highresolution convection-permitting numerical simulations, with a focus on vorticity budgets of the environmental flow, multiscale synoptic diagnostics, and Rotunno-Klemp-Weisman(RKW) theory. These analyses aimed to elucidate the mechanisms governing the morphological transition, the generation of associated convective gales, and the prolonged maintenance of the squall line event. The results show that the numerical simulation accurately reproduced the development and evolution of the squall line, particularly its location, with surface wind errors remaining within a reasonable range. The development of a mesoscale vortex modulated the dynamic and water vapor fields, providing favorable mesoscale environmental conditions for the organization and maintenance of the squall line. Vorticity budget analysis indicates that the divergence and tilting terms were the primary contributors to vorticity tendency. After the squall line entered Jiangxi Province, it exhibited a sharper leading edge and enhanced upward motion. Dry intrusion from the mid-toupper troposphere led to rapid downward momentum transfer at the meso-γ scale, thereby generating convective gales. In addition, the enhancement of the rear-inflow jet(RIJ) was related to the pressure difference between the interior and exterior of system, which resulted from the phase change of condensate within tilted updrafts. The RIJ was orthogonal to the squall line, causing it to transform from a linear into a bowing shape. Diagnosis based on the RKW theory underscore the important roles in both low-level and deep vertical wind shear in maintenaning the squall line. The ratios of the cold pool propagation velocity to the vertical wind shear were close to 1, which balanced with the ambient horizontal vorticity that allowed the convection to remain upright, thus sustaining the squall line's intensity for an extended period. In summary, the squall line event was sustained by a favorable environment created by the environmental vortex. The dry intrusion from the mid-to-upper troposphere and intensified RIJ resulted in the severe convective winds, while the balance between cold pool and ambient vertical wind shear promoted the system's prolonged maintenance. These findings provide an effective reference for the short-range forecasting of squall lines throughout their lifecycle.展开更多

In this study, nine eggplant(Solanum melongena) introgression lines(ILs) covering altogether 71.6% of the genome of the donor wildrelative parent S. incanum were evaluated for drought tolerance under water stress conditions. Plants at the five true leaves stage were irrigated at either 100%(control) or 30%(water stress) field capacity for 14 days, and growth and biochemical traits were measured. Reduced irrigation resulted in decreased growth and increased stress markers such as proline and malondialdehyde. Most ILs had lower growth and biomass production thanthe cultivated parent under both conditions. However, the wild alleles for two genomic regions related to stem and root dry weight conferred improved tolerance to water stress. In addition, several S. incanum alleles had a positive effect on important traits that may improve yield under drought conditions, such as leaf water content water use efficiency, and chlorophyll content. Fine-mapping the genomic regions for tolerance and reducinglinkage drag with regions affecting growth will be crucial for significantly improving eggplant drought tolerance through introgression breeding.展开更多

These overhead power lines (L-213, L-214) connect the 220/110/35 kV “Songino” substation with the “Mandal” substation and form system networks. This paper presents the challenges encountered when implementing single-phase automatic reclosing (SPAR) devices and compares the changes in power system parameters before and after SPAR deployment for a long 220 kV line. Simulations and analyses were carried out using DIgSILENT PowerFactory software, focusing on rotor angle stability, and the overall impact on the power system during short-circuit faults. The evaluation also utilized measurement data from the Wide Area Monitoring System (WAMS) to compare system behavior pre- and post-implementation of SPAR. The findings reveal that SPAR significantly enhances system reliability and stability, effectively mitigating the risk of oscillations and stability loss triggered by short circuits. This improvement contributes to a more resilient power system, reducing the potential for disturbances caused by faults.展开更多

Based on the meteorological data of Changbai Mountain, the January temperature (the limiting effect for tree line) and annual mean temperature were mainly investigated. In the ecotone between Betula ermanii and alpine tundra, the number and diameter at ground level of Betula ermanii in the plots were measured. According to the correlation between diameter at ground level (DGL) and age, the diameter at ground level can represent age directly. The results showed that the distribution age of Betula ermanii was in the trend of decreasing with elevation rising. In resent years, the annual mean temperature near Changbai Mountain is rising, which has led to the tree line ascending.展开更多

[Method] The stigma exsertion rate, stigma size and stigma vitality of Chuang 5S, Yun 9S, Peiai 64 S, P88 S and Y58 S were analyzed. Using R608 as a male parent, outcrossing rate of these five PTGMS lines was determined. [Result]There were differences in stigma exsertion rate, stigma size and stigma vitality among five PTGMS lines. P88 S exhibited the best stigma characteristics and relatively strong stigma vitality, with the stigma exsertion rate of 95.94%, stigma vitality coefficient of 2.71, outcrossing rate of 84.02% in the field. Peiai 64 s had the minimum stigma length（2.41 mm） and stigma width（1.10 mm） and the weakest stigma vitality, with the stigma exsertion rate of 93.04%, outcrossing rate of 65.47%. Yun 9S,Y58 S and Chuang 5S displayed medium stigma characteristics, among which Yun9 S exhibited higher outcrossing rate than other two PTGMS lines. Correlation analysis showed that stigma exsertion rate, stigma length, stigma width, stigma area and stigma volume were significantly correlated to outcrossing rate（P〈0.05）, with correlation coefficients of 0.897, 0.934, 0.934, 0.939 and 0.937, respectively. However,there was no significant correlation between stigma vitality coefficient and outcrossing rate. [Conclusion] Based on stigma characteristics of five PTGMS lines, auxiliary pollination measures should be adopted reasonably to save production costs and improve hybrid rice seed yield.展开更多

In IR36, from pre-meiotic interphase to metaphase I, the pattern of microtubule distribution in the meiocytes underwent a series of changes. Some new organizational patterns of microtubules (that have not been described before) were observed during microsporogenesis, including the existence of a broad band of perinuclear microtubules at the diakinesis stage of development. The pattern of microtubule distribution in the meiocytes of the male sterile line, Peiai 64S, was quite different front that seen in IR36. In Peiai 64S, the microtubules showed abnormal patterns of distribution from pre-meiotic interphase to metaphase I. For example the broad band of perinuclear microtubules seen at diakinesis in IR36 was much disorganized and loosened in Peiai 64S. The spindles formed were also very abnormal and different from the normal spindle. The appearance of abnormal microtubule distribution in the early stages of microsporogenesis may contribute to the malformation and ultimate abortion of pollen in Peiai 64S.展开更多

文摘The “3·31” severe squall line event in eastern China was notable for its exceptional intensity and persistence,posing significant challenges to forecast accuracy. This study analyzed the maintenance stage of this event using highresolution convection-permitting numerical simulations, with a focus on vorticity budgets of the environmental flow, multiscale synoptic diagnostics, and Rotunno-Klemp-Weisman(RKW) theory. These analyses aimed to elucidate the mechanisms governing the morphological transition, the generation of associated convective gales, and the prolonged maintenance of the squall line event. The results show that the numerical simulation accurately reproduced the development and evolution of the squall line, particularly its location, with surface wind errors remaining within a reasonable range. The development of a mesoscale vortex modulated the dynamic and water vapor fields, providing favorable mesoscale environmental conditions for the organization and maintenance of the squall line. Vorticity budget analysis indicates that the divergence and tilting terms were the primary contributors to vorticity tendency. After the squall line entered Jiangxi Province, it exhibited a sharper leading edge and enhanced upward motion. Dry intrusion from the mid-toupper troposphere led to rapid downward momentum transfer at the meso-γ scale, thereby generating convective gales. In addition, the enhancement of the rear-inflow jet(RIJ) was related to the pressure difference between the interior and exterior of system, which resulted from the phase change of condensate within tilted updrafts. The RIJ was orthogonal to the squall line, causing it to transform from a linear into a bowing shape. Diagnosis based on the RKW theory underscore the important roles in both low-level and deep vertical wind shear in maintenaning the squall line. The ratios of the cold pool propagation velocity to the vertical wind shear were close to 1, which balanced with the ambient horizontal vorticity that allowed the convection to remain upright, thus sustaining the squall line's intensity for an extended period. In summary, the squall line event was sustained by a favorable environment created by the environmental vortex. The dry intrusion from the mid-to-upper troposphere and intensified RIJ resulted in the severe convective winds, while the balance between cold pool and ambient vertical wind shear promoted the system's prolonged maintenance. These findings provide an effective reference for the short-range forecasting of squall lines throughout their lifecycle.

文摘Gossypium raimondii(2n=2x=26,D_(5)),an untapped wild species,is the putative progenitor of the D-subgenome of G.hirsutum(2n=4x=52,AD_(1)),an extensively cultivated species.Here,we developed a G.hirsutum(recipient)–G.raimondii(donor)introgression population to exploit the favorable QTLs/genes and mapped potential quantitative trait loci(QTLs)from wild cotton species.The introgression population consisted of 256 lines with an introgression rate of 52.33%for the G.raimondii genome.The introgression segment length range was 0.03–19.12 Mb,with an average of 1.22 Mb.The coverage of total introgression fragments from G.raimondii was 386.98 Mb.Further genome-wide association analysis(Q+K+MLM)and QTL mapping(RSTEP-LRT)identified 59 common QTLs,including 14 stable QTLs and six common QTL(co-QTL)clusters,and one hotspot of micronaire(MIC).The common QTLs for seed index all showed positive additive effects,while the common QTLs for boll weight all had negative additive effects,indicating that the linkage between seed index and boll weight could be broken.QTLs for lint percentage showed positive effects and could be beneficial for improving cotton yield.Most QTLs for fiber quality had negative additive effects,implying these QTLs were domesticated/improved in G.hirsutum.A few fiber quality QTLs showed positive additive effects,so they could be used to improve cotton fiber quality.The introgression lines developed could be useful for molecular marker-assisted breeding and mapping QTLs precisely for mining desirable genes from the wild species G.raimondii.Such genes can improve cultivated cotton in the future through a designbreeding approach.

文摘As access to irrigation water becomes increasingly limited, introgression of relevant genomic regions from drought-tolerant wild genotypes is a promising breeding strategy for crop plants. In this study, nine eggplant(Solanum melongena) introgression lines(ILs) covering altogether 71.6% of the genome of the donor wildrelative parent S. incanum were evaluated for drought tolerance under water stress conditions. Plants at the five true leaves stage were irrigated at either 100%(control) or 30%(water stress) field capacity for 14 days, and growth and biochemical traits were measured. Reduced irrigation resulted in decreased growth and increased stress markers such as proline and malondialdehyde. Most ILs had lower growth and biomass production thanthe cultivated parent under both conditions. However, the wild alleles for two genomic regions related to stem and root dry weight conferred improved tolerance to water stress. In addition, several S. incanum alleles had a positive effect on important traits that may improve yield under drought conditions, such as leaf water content water use efficiency, and chlorophyll content. Fine-mapping the genomic regions for tolerance and reducinglinkage drag with regions affecting growth will be crucial for significantly improving eggplant drought tolerance through introgression breeding.

文摘Zebrafish larvae are useful for identifying chemicals against lateral line(LL)hair cell(HC)damage and this type of chemical screen mainly focuses on searching for protectors against cell death.To expand the candidate pool of HC protectors,a self-built acoustic escape response(AER)-detecting system was developed to apply both low-frequency near-field sound transmission and AER image acquisition/processing modules.The device quickly confirmed the changed LL HC functions caused by most known ototoxins,protectors,and neural transmission modifiers,or knockdown of LL HC-expressing genes.With ten devices wired in tandem,five‘hit’chemicals were identified from 124 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors to partially restore cisplatin-damaged AER in less than a day.AS2863619,ribociclib,and SU9516 among the hits,protected the HCs in the mouse cochlea.Therefore,using free-swimming larval zebrafish,the self-made AER-detecting device can efficiently identify compounds that are protective against HC damage,including cell death and loss-of-function.
文摘In response to the deficiencies of commonly used optimization methods for assembly lines,a production demand-oriented optimization method for assembly lines is proposed.Taking a certain compressor assembly line as an example,the production rhythm and the number of workstations are calculated based on production requirements and working systems.With assembly rhythm and smoothing index as optimization goals,an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is employed for process allocation.Subsequently,Flexsim simulation is used to analyze the assembly line.The final results show that after optimization using the improved particle swarm algorithm,the assembly line balance rate increased from 71.1%to 85.9%,and the assembly line smoothing index decreased from 47.4 to 29.8,significantly enhancing assembly efficiency.This demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed optimization method for the assembly line and provides a reference for other products in the same industry.
文摘In order to increase the stability of the Mongolia power system, a single-phase automatic reclosing device (SPAR) was introduced on double-circuit power lines built with a size of 330 kV, operating on a voltage of 220 kV and a length of 250 km. These overhead power lines (L-213, L-214) connect the 220/110/35 kV “Songino” substation with the “Mandal” substation and form system networks. This paper presents the challenges encountered when implementing single-phase automatic reclosing (SPAR) devices and compares the changes in power system parameters before and after SPAR deployment for a long 220 kV line. Simulations and analyses were carried out using DIgSILENT PowerFactory software, focusing on rotor angle stability, and the overall impact on the power system during short-circuit faults. The evaluation also utilized measurement data from the Wide Area Monitoring System (WAMS) to compare system behavior pre- and post-implementation of SPAR. The findings reveal that SPAR significantly enhances system reliability and stability, effectively mitigating the risk of oscillations and stability loss triggered by short circuits. This improvement contributes to a more resilient power system, reducing the potential for disturbances caused by faults.

文摘In this work,we study wave state transitions of the(2+1)-dimensional Kortewegde Vries-Sawada-Kotera-Ramani(2KdVSKR)equation by analyzing the characteristic line and phase shift.By converting the wave parameters of the N-soliton solution into complex numbers,the breath wave solution is constructed.The lump wave solution is derived through the long wave limit method.Then,by choosing appropriate parameter values,we acquire a number of transformed nonlinear waves whose gradient relation is discussed according to the ratio of the wave parameters.Furthermore,we reveal transition mechanisms of the waves by exploring the nonlinear superposition of the solitary and periodic wave components.Subsequently,locality,oscillation properties and evolutionary phenomenon of the transformed waves are presented.And we also prove the change in the geometrical properties of the characteristic lines leads to the phenomena of wave evolution.Finally,for higher-order waves,a range of interaction models are depicted along with their evolutionary phenomena.And we demonstrate that their diversity is due to the fact that the solitary and periodic wave components produce different phase shifts caused by time evolution and collisions.
文摘BACKGROUND The combination of anti-epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)therapy and chemotherapy is currently a preferred first-line treatment for patients with unre-sectable,RAS and BRAF wild-type,left-sided metastatic colorectal cancer(mCRC).Several studies have also demonstrated the benefit of anti-EGFR therapy in sub-sequent line settings for this patient population.However,direct evidence com-paring the effectiveness of frontline vs subsequent anti-EGFR therapy remains limited,leaving a crucial gap in guiding optimal treatment strategies.AIM To compare overall survival(OS)between frontline and subsequent anti-EGFR treatment in patients with unresectable,RAS and BRAF wild-type,left-sided mCRC.METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of mCRC patients treated at The King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital and Songklanagarind Hospital,Thailand,between January 2013 and April 2023.Patients were classified into two groups based on the sequence of their anti-EGFR treatment.The primary endpoint was OS.RESULTS Among 222 patients with a median follow-up of 29 months,no significant difference in OS was observed between the frontline and subsequent-line groups(HR 1.03,95%CI:0.73-1.46,P=0.878).The median OS was 35.53 months(95%CI:26.59-44.47)for the frontline group and 31.60 months(95%CI:27.83-35.37)for the subsequent-line group.In the subsequent-line group,71 patients(32.4%)who ultimately never received anti-EGFR therapy had a significantly worse median OS of 19.70 months(95%CI:12.87-26.53).CONCLUSION Frontline and subsequent-line anti-EGFR treatments provide comparable OS in unresectable,RAS/BRAF wild-type,left-sided mCRC patients,but early exposure is vital for those unlikely to receive subsequent therapy.

文摘We analyze the absorption features in the public 73 ks XMM-Newton spectra of the Seyfert 1 galaxy PG 0052+251.Our analysis reveals the presence of a warm absorber(WA)intrinsic to the source and the hot circumgalactic medium at zero redshift.The identified WA is inflowing toward the central black hole,with a velocity shift of■.The ionization parameter of the WA is■,showing strong O II and O III absorption lines,along with a significant absorption of the spectral continuum at?10?.The line of sight toward PG 0052+251 intersects the halo of M31 at an impact parameter of approximately 218 kpc.Several local(z~0)absorption lines,like O VII,O VIII,and Ne IX,were detected.The derived hydrogen column density of the local hot gas is 2.2–2.6σhigher than those estimated by several models of the Galactic hot halo,suggesting a likely contribution from the M31 halo.We also find two absorption features at24.305?and 21.410?,which are unlikely to be associated with the hot halos or the warm-hot intergalactic medium but imply the presence of an additional WA component with an outflow velocity of approximately-7000 km s^(-1).

文摘Aircraft assembly is characterized by stringent precedence constraints,limited resource availability,spatial restrictions,and a high degree of manual intervention.These factors lead to considerable variability in operator workloads and significantly increase the complexity of scheduling.To address this challenge,this study investigates the Aircraft Pulsating Assembly Line Scheduling Problem(APALSP)under skilled operator allocation,with the objective of minimizing assembly completion time.A mathematical model considering skilled operator allocation is developed,and a Q-Learning improved Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm(QLPSO)is proposed.In the algorithm design,a reverse scheduling strategy is adopted to effectively manage large-scale precedence constraints.Moreover,a reverse sequence encoding method is introduced to generate operation sequences,while a time decoding mechanism is employed to determine completion times.The problem is further reformulated as a Markov Decision Process(MDP)with explicitly defined state and action spaces.Within QLPSO,the Q-learning mechanism adaptively adjusts inertia weights and learning factors,thereby achieving a balance between exploration capability and convergence performance.To validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach,extensive computational experiments are conducted on benchmark instances of different scales,including small,medium,large,and ultra-large cases.The results demonstrate that QLPSO consistently delivers stable and high-quality solutions across all scenarios.In ultra-large-scale instances,it improves the best solution by 25.2%compared with the Genetic Algorithm(GA)and enhances the average solution by 16.9%over the Q-learning algorithm,showing clear advantages over the comparative methods.These findings not only confirm the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm but also provide valuable theoretical references and practical guidance for the intelligent scheduling optimization of aircraft pulsating assembly lines.

文摘Modern manufacturing processes have become more reliant on automation because of the accelerated transition from Industry 3.0 to Industry 4.0.Manual inspection of products on assembly lines remains inefficient,prone to errors and lacks consistency,emphasizing the need for a reliable and automated inspection system.Leveraging both object detection and image segmentation approaches,this research proposes a vision-based solution for the detection of various kinds of tools in the toolkit using deep learning(DL)models.Two Intel RealSense D455f depth cameras were arranged in a top down configuration to capture both RGB and depth images of the toolkits.After applying multiple constraints and enhancing them through preprocessing and augmentation,a dataset consisting of 3300 annotated RGB-D photos was generated.Several DL models were selected through a comprehensive assessment of mean Average Precision(mAP),precision-recall equilibrium,inference latency(target≥30 FPS),and computational burden,resulting in a preference for YOLO and Region-based Convolutional Neural Networks(R-CNN)variants over ViT-based models due to the latter’s increased latency and resource requirements.YOLOV5,YOLOV8,YOLOV11,Faster R-CNN,and Mask R-CNN were trained on the annotated dataset and evaluated using key performance metrics(Recall,Accuracy,F1-score,and Precision).YOLOV11 demonstrated balanced excellence with 93.0%precision,89.9%recall,and a 90.6%F1-score in object detection,as well as 96.9%precision,95.3%recall,and a 96.5%F1-score in instance segmentation with an average inference time of 25 ms per frame(≈40 FPS),demonstrating real-time performance.Leveraging these results,a YOLOV11-based windows application was successfully deployed in a real-time assembly line environment,where it accurately processed live video streams to detect and segment tools within toolkits,demonstrating its practical effectiveness in industrial automation.The application is capable of precisely measuring socket dimensions by utilising edge detection techniques on YOLOv11 segmentation masks,in addition to detection and segmentation.This makes it possible to do specification-level quality control right on the assembly line,which improves the ability to examine things in real time.The implementation is a big step forward for intelligent manufacturing in the Industry 4.0 paradigm.It provides a scalable,efficient,and accurate way to do automated inspection and dimensional verification activities.

文摘In order to decipher phenomenon of tree line changing with climate variety, the trend of tree line on the northern slope of Changbai Mountain was studied. Based on the meteorological data of Changbai Mountain, the January temperature (the limiting effect for tree line) and annual mean temperature were mainly investigated. In the ecotone between Betula ermanii and alpine tundra, the number and diameter at ground level of Betula ermanii in the plots were measured. According to the correlation between diameter at ground level (DGL) and age, the diameter at ground level can represent age directly. The results showed that the distribution age of Betula ermanii was in the trend of decreasing with elevation rising. In resent years, the annual mean temperature near Changbai Mountain is rising, which has led to the tree line ascending.

文摘[Objective] This study aimed to investigate the correlation between stigma characteristics and outcrossing rate of photo-thermo sensitive genic male sterile（PTGMS） rice lines. [Method] The stigma exsertion rate, stigma size and stigma vitality of Chuang 5S, Yun 9S, Peiai 64 S, P88 S and Y58 S were analyzed. Using R608 as a male parent, outcrossing rate of these five PTGMS lines was determined. [Result]There were differences in stigma exsertion rate, stigma size and stigma vitality among five PTGMS lines. P88 S exhibited the best stigma characteristics and relatively strong stigma vitality, with the stigma exsertion rate of 95.94%, stigma vitality coefficient of 2.71, outcrossing rate of 84.02% in the field. Peiai 64 s had the minimum stigma length（2.41 mm） and stigma width（1.10 mm） and the weakest stigma vitality, with the stigma exsertion rate of 93.04%, outcrossing rate of 65.47%. Yun 9S,Y58 S and Chuang 5S displayed medium stigma characteristics, among which Yun9 S exhibited higher outcrossing rate than other two PTGMS lines. Correlation analysis showed that stigma exsertion rate, stigma length, stigma width, stigma area and stigma volume were significantly correlated to outcrossing rate（P〈0.05）, with correlation coefficients of 0.897, 0.934, 0.934, 0.939 and 0.937, respectively. However,there was no significant correlation between stigma vitality coefficient and outcrossing rate. [Conclusion] Based on stigma characteristics of five PTGMS lines, auxiliary pollination measures should be adopted reasonably to save production costs and improve hybrid rice seed yield.
文摘Changes in the pattern of organization of microtubules in the meiotic stages of development of pollen (i.e. from pre-meiotic interphase to more or less metaphase I) of a normal (IR36) and a temperature/photoperiod sensitive male sterile line (Peiai 64S) of rice were studied using immunofluorescence confocal microscopy. In IR36, from pre-meiotic interphase to metaphase I, the pattern of microtubule distribution in the meiocytes underwent a series of changes. Some new organizational patterns of microtubules (that have not been described before) were observed during microsporogenesis, including the existence of a broad band of perinuclear microtubules at the diakinesis stage of development. The pattern of microtubule distribution in the meiocytes of the male sterile line, Peiai 64S, was quite different front that seen in IR36. In Peiai 64S, the microtubules showed abnormal patterns of distribution from pre-meiotic interphase to metaphase I. For example the broad band of perinuclear microtubules seen at diakinesis in IR36 was much disorganized and loosened in Peiai 64S. The spindles formed were also very abnormal and different from the normal spindle. The appearance of abnormal microtubule distribution in the early stages of microsporogenesis may contribute to the malformation and ultimate abortion of pollen in Peiai 64S.
