However, multiple measurements and adjustments are usually required for conventional schemes, which inevitably reduces the quality of phase imaging. Here, based on multi-channel metasurface and quantum entanglement source, a simple and integrated quantum analog operation system is proposed to realize quantitative phase reconstruction with a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) under a low signal photon level. Without additional measurements and adjustments, four differential images necessary for the phase reconstruction are captured simultaneously. The non-local correlation of entangled photon pairs enables to remotely manipulate working modes of the system. Besides, the consistency of entangled photon pairs in time domain makes it possible to achieve a high SNR imaging by trigger detection. The results may potentially empower the application of metasurfaces in optical chip, wave function reconstruction, and label-free biology imaging.展开更多

In order to understand the characteristics of the intake swirl, a transparent water analog was designed which simulated 150 type single cylinder engine. At the same time, the particle image velocimetry was used to measure the flow fields induced by various swirlers in the analog. After measurement, a new method was presented to evaluate the intensity of the intake swirl. Then, when the measured sections, the lifts of valve and the swirlers were different, the calculated results of the flow field were compared.展开更多

A fragment of about 500 bp was amplified from genomic DNA of sweet potato using the specifically designed degenerate primers. After cloning and sequencing, 20 NBS-LRR type of disease-resistance gene analogue （RGAs） in sweet potato were observed. The deduced amino acid sequence of DNA fragment contains the conserved motifs of NBS-LRR type RGAs, such as P-loop, Kinase-2α, Kinase-3α and GLPL domain. The 20 RGAs could be sorted into two subclasses, namely TIR- NBS-LRR type and non-TIR-NBS-LRR type. Compared with the known resistance genes including N, L6 and M, the percentages of homologous amino acid sequence in 10 TIR-NBS-LRR range between 21% -44%. While other 10 non-TIR-NBS-LRR assume 15% -46% homology with the known resistance genes （Prf, RPM1, RPS2, etc. ）. Consequently the RGAs may further be used as molecular marker for screening the candidate disease-resistance genes in sweet potato.展开更多

A series of electric field analogue experiments has been conducted by focusing on symmetrical multi-lateral wells and dual-lateral wells of arbitrary angles between laterals. This research not only evaluates the productivity equations of a symmetrical multi-lateral well showing the effect of angles on productivity, but also proposes the concept of the multi-lateral productivity coefficient. Moreover, the multi-lateral productivity coefficient equation is designed to calculate the productivity of dual-lateral wells of variable angles, which is in turn supported by experiment. It also helps provide the experimental basis for optimizing the configuration, and building the semi-analytic productivity model, of multi-lateral wells.展开更多

文摘By the random distribution of metals in a single phase,entropy engineering is applied to construct dense neighboring active centers with diverse electronic and geometric structures,realizing the continuous optimization of multiple primary reactions for oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)and oxygen evolution reaction(OER).Many catalysts developed through entropy engineering have been built in nearly equimolar ratios to pursue high entropy,hindering the identification of the active sites and potentially diluting the concentration of real active sites while weakening their electronic interactions with reaction intermediates.Herein,this work proposes an entropy-engineering strategy in metal nanoparticle-embedded nitrogen carbon electrocatalysts,implemented by entropy-engineered Prussian blue analogs(PBA)as precursors to enhance the catalytic activity of primary Cu-Fe active sites.Through the introduction of the micro-strains driven by entropy engineering,density functional theory(DFT)calculations and geometric phase analysis(GPA)using Lorentz electron microscopy further elucidate the optimization of the adsorption/desorption of intermediates.Furthermore,the multi-dimensional morphology and the size diminishment of the nanocrystals serve to expand the electrochemical area,maximizing the catalytic activity for both ORR and OER.Notably,the Zn-air battery assembled with CuFeCoNiZn-NC operated for over 1300 h with negligible decay.This work presents a paradigm for the design of low-cost electrocatalysts with entropy engineering for multi-step reactions.

文摘This study analyzes Brazilian stromatolites in Lagoa Salgada,serving as analogs for pre-salt rocks in the Santos and Campos basins.Despite their excellent petrophysical properties,such as high porosity and permeability,these reservoirs present challenges in fluid flow modeling and simulation.The research investigates various factors influencing the development of carbonate reservoirs,including diagenetic processes employing several techniques,such as microcomputed tomography(micro-CT)and digital rock physics(DRP),to study petrophysical and geological characteristics.Additionally,through numerical simulations,the properties of fluid flow in different microfacies of stromatolites are estimated,with particular emphasis on understanding and highlighting changes in the direction of fluid flow in the three characterized microfacies.These findings offer crucial insights into optimizing oil and gas exploration and production techniques in carbonate reservoirs,providing a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of fluid transport in porous media,especially in terms of directional changes within stromatolites.

文摘BACKGROUND Malignant meningioma metastasizes systemically,primarily due to its role in epithelial-mesenchymal transition.Although the prognosis is extremely poor,drug development efforts have been limited,because this tumor is categorized as a rare form.AIM To examine growth suppressive effect of GO-Y030,a diarylpentanoid curcumin analog,(1E,4E)-1,5-bis[3,5-bis(methoxymethoxy)phenyl]penta-1,4-dien-3-one against the malignant meningioma.METHODS The growth suppression of malignant meningioma cells by GO-Y022 and GOY030 were examined,using IOMM-Lee and HKBMM cell lines.Male nude mice aged eight weeks,specifically BALB/cSlc-nu/nu mice received a subcutaneous inoculation of IOMM-Lee(107 cells/site)on their back and 30μg/kg of recombinant hepatocellular growth factor(HGF)was injected into the tumor every three days.After confirmed the growth tumor mass,500μL of GO-Y030 diluted with PBS were administrated intraperitoneally daily at doses of 1 mg/kg and 2 mg/kg,respectively.RESULTS GO-Y030 exhibits a growth inhibitory effect on malignant meningioma cell lines,IOMM-Lee and HKBMM ranging from 0.8-2.0μM in vitro.Notably,GO-Y030’s inhibitory effect is about 10 to 16th times more potent than that of curcumin,which has previously demonstrated potential in combating malignant meningioma.In mouse models,the intraperitoneal administration of GO-Y030 effectively suppresses the growth of malignant meningioma tumors that have been inoculated in the back(P=0.002).High-performance liquid chromatography analysis has confirmed the distribution of GO-Y030 in the bloodstream and brain tissue.Moreover,GOY030 demonstrates the ability to significantly suppress HGF(P<0.01),nuclear factor kappa B(P<0.001),and Ncadherin(P<0.001),all of which contribute to the epithelial-mesenchymal transition.CONCLUSION GO-Y030 holds promise as a potent compound for the systemic inhibition of malignant meningioma.GO-Y030 has higher tumor growth inhibitory effect against meningiomas than curcumin,which is known to have antitumor activity through multi-molecular target control resulting in apoptosis induction.GO-Y030 controls at least three molecules of HGF,nuclear factor kappa B,and N-cadherin.
文摘In Part 2 of David Hume’s Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion,Cleanthes puts forth the analogical Argument from Design,the argument intended to establish that the designer of the world possesses an intelligence similar to human intelligence,in light of Cleanthes’claim that the design of the world resembles machines of human contrivance.Philo argues that this argument fails,because the world does not bear a specific resemblance to any type of machine,and,therefore,there is no basis for reasoning analogically to an intelligent cause of design.In Part 3,Cleanthes attempts to strengthen his case through two illustrative analogies:I will examine the first of these-the Articulate Voice speaking from the clouds.Scholarship generally regards the Articulate Voice illustration to fail,precisely because nothing in this illustrative analogy assists Philo in understanding that the world is a machine.My paper/talk reveals that Philo provides additional criticisms of the Articulate Voice illustration in Parts 6 and 7 of the Dialogues,which make Philo’s critique even stronger and more enlightening regarding his critical approach to the Design Argument than can be learned from Part 2 alone.

文摘The intake swirl in the cylinder was induced by a swirler which was fixed in one of two intake ports. In order to understand the characteristics of the intake swirl, a transparent water analog was designed which simulated 150 type single cylinder engine. At the same time, the particle image velocimetry was used to measure the flow fields induced by various swirlers in the analog. After measurement, a new method was presented to evaluate the intensity of the intake swirl. Then, when the measured sections, the lifts of valve and the swirlers were different, the calculated results of the flow field were compared.
文摘The degenerate primers were designed based on the conserved NBS-LRR motifs among the known disease-resistance genes. A fragment of about 500 bp was amplified from genomic DNA of sweet potato using the specifically designed degenerate primers. After cloning and sequencing, 20 NBS-LRR type of disease-resistance gene analogue （RGAs） in sweet potato were observed. The deduced amino acid sequence of DNA fragment contains the conserved motifs of NBS-LRR type RGAs, such as P-loop, Kinase-2α, Kinase-3α and GLPL domain. The 20 RGAs could be sorted into two subclasses, namely TIR- NBS-LRR type and non-TIR-NBS-LRR type. Compared with the known resistance genes including N, L6 and M, the percentages of homologous amino acid sequence in 10 TIR-NBS-LRR range between 21% -44%. While other 10 non-TIR-NBS-LRR assume 15% -46% homology with the known resistance genes （Prf, RPM1, RPS2, etc. ）. Consequently the RGAs may further be used as molecular marker for screening the candidate disease-resistance genes in sweet potato.

文摘There is a close theoretical similarity between water pressure gradients in aquifers and applied voltage gradients in aqueous solutions. A series of electric field analogue experiments has been conducted by focusing on symmetrical multi-lateral wells and dual-lateral wells of arbitrary angles between laterals. This research not only evaluates the productivity equations of a symmetrical multi-lateral well showing the effect of angles on productivity, but also proposes the concept of the multi-lateral productivity coefficient. Moreover, the multi-lateral productivity coefficient equation is designed to calculate the productivity of dual-lateral wells of variable angles, which is in turn supported by experiment. It also helps provide the experimental basis for optimizing the configuration, and building the semi-analytic productivity model, of multi-lateral wells.
