However, the source gland（s） and chemistry of such stimuli have never been revealed. In this study, extracts of mandibular, Dufour＇s, postpharyngeal, and poison glands were evaluated for their effect on ant digging and residing preferences of S. invicta workers from three colonies. In the intracolonial bioassays, workers showed significant digging preferences to mandibular gland extracts in 2 of 3 colonies and significant residing preferences in 1 of 3 colonies; significant digging preferences to Dufour＇s gland extracts in 1 of 3 colonies and significant residing preferences in 2 of 3 colonies. No digging and residing preferences were found for postpharyngeal and poison gland extracts. In intercolonial bioassays, significant digging and residing prefer- ences were found for mandibular gland extracts in 3 of 6 colony combinations. Significant digging preferences to Dufour＇s gland extracts were found in 4 of 6 colony combinations and significant residing preferences in all 6 colony combinations. For postpharyngeal gland extracts, significant digging preferences were found only in 1 of 6 colonial combinations and no significant residing preferences were found. For poison gland extracts, no signif- icant digging preferences were found; significant residing preferences were found in 1 of 6 colony combinations. However, a significant residing deterrence （negative residing preference index） was found for 2 of 6 colony combinations. Statistical analyses using data pooled from all colonies showed that mandibular and Dufour＇s gland extracts caused sig- nificant digging and residing preferences in both intracolonial and intercolonial bioassays but not postpharyngeal and poison gland extracts. By analyzing the data pooled from the same three colonies used for gland extract bioassays, it was found that, in no cases, workers showed significant digging and residing preferences to 2-ethyl-3,6-dimethylpyrazine, an alarm pheromone component from mandibular gland.展开更多

文摘The hydrogen-enriched direct reduction shaft furnace addresses the high CO_(2) emissions associated with the blast furnace process.A discrete element method(DEM)model was introduced to explore how the structure of the diversion cone affects particle descent behavior in a hydrogen-enriched shaft furnace.The results indicated that in the absence of a diversion cone,the descending velocity near the furnace wall zone is significantly lower than that at its center,resulting in a‘V’-shaped burden flow pattern.The discharge velocity has a minor impact on the flow pattern in the shaft furnace.Upon installation of a diversion cone,burden descending velocity becomes more uniform,leading to a‘-’-shaped burden flow pattern.As the bottom of the diversion cone ascends(i.e.,the lower end of the diversion cone is progressively closer to the top),there is an increase in the volume fraction of the dead zone within the shaft furnace.This is particularly evident in the formation of a triangular dead zone at the base of the diversion cone.It is suggested that the lower cone of the bi-conical diversion cone should maintain a sufficient height.
基金Survey and Analysis on Humanistic Care Experience and Influencing Factors of Elderly Residents in 3 Integrated Medical and Nursing Institutions in Guangyuan City(Project No.:24SCLN055)。
文摘This empirical study examines the integration of medical and elderly care services in Guangyuan City through stratified random sampling,targeting 283 eligible residents aged 60+from three representative integrated institutions.The research employed a self-designed questionnaire titled“Humanistic Care Experience and Demand Influencing Factors”to collect subjective perceptions regarding basic care,psychological support,health education,and social interaction using a Likert five-point scale.Descriptive statistics,one-way ANOVA,and multiple regression modeling were conducted with SPSS 25.0 software.Results indicated that overall humanistic care experience scores were moderately high,with the“caregiving”dimension scoring highest and“psychological/social support”the lowest.Analysis revealed significant correlations between educational attainment,income,self-reported health status,and family support frequency(P<0.001),particularly among seniors with higher education,better health,and stronger family support.While integrated care facilities provide relatively comprehensive basic care,they should focus on addressing gaps in humanistic services,especially providing targeted support for groups with“low education,low income,poor health,and lack of family support.”

文摘Background:The phenomenon of academic anxiety has been demonstrated to exert a considerable influence on students’academic engagement,leading to the emergence of a phenomenon known as“learned helplessness”and undermining the selfconfidence and motivation of high school students.Using acceptance-rejection theory,this study elucidated how a rejective parenting style affects Chinese high school students’academic anxiety and explored the urban-rural heterogeneity of this relationship.Methods:Data were analyzed using a stratified whole-cluster random sampling method.There are a total of 30,000 high school students in the three regions of northern and central China(from Shanxi,Hebei and Henan).A sample of 2286 high school students aged 14–19 years was ultimately selected from 2760 respondents for this investigation,which was conducted at the beginning of the 2023 school year.Pearson correlation,ordinary least squares(OLS)regression analysis,path analysis,and Fisher’s permutation test(FPT)were used to examine the effects of rejective parenting style on high school students’academic anxiety.Results:Results indicated a significant positive predictive effect between rejective parenting style and academic anxiety among high school students(β=0.815,t=116.211,p<0.001).Students’self-concept was significantly positively related to positive coping style(β=0.424,t=21.208,p<0.001)and chain-mediated this relationship.Therefore,this parenting style may indirectly mitigate academic anxiety through these mediators.The study also found that the effect of rejective parenting style on academic anxiety varied by students’residential background and was more pronounced in urban areas(0.226)than in rural areas(0.130).Conclusion:The research underscores the imperative for Chinese families to reexamine their utilization of rejection parenting and to prioritize the cultivation of students’intrinsic attributes.These findings offer a theoretical framework and practical evidence for policymakers and educators to develop efficacious and targeted interventions.In particular,greater attention should be directed towards the discrepancies in the manifestation of emotional and academic anxiety between urban and rural students,and prompt guidance should be furnished.
