[Methods] The karst core regions of southwest China, specifically Guizhou, Guangxi, and Yunnan, were investigated for the first time to analyze the species diversity characteristics of wood-decaying fungi in this area. This analysis was conducted through a comprehensive 5-year field investigation and systematic identification process. [Results] The wood-decaying fungi exhibited a distinctive species composition and distribution pattern within karst habitats, encompassing significant groups such as Polyporaceae and Hymenochaetaceae. Furthermore, these fungi demonstrated varying functional characteristics across the two ecological types of standing tree decay and wood decay. It was observed that wood-decaying fungi had a significant impact on the material cycle within karst ecosystems by degrading lignin and cellulose. Furthermore, the distribution of species diversity was closely associated with the characteristics of karst geomorphology and the types of vegetation. [Conclusions] This study not only addresses the lack of background data regarding wood-decaying fungi resources in karst regions, but also elucidates the maintenance mechanisms of fragile ecosystems from the perspective of decomposers. It provides a scientific foundation for biodiversity conservation, the prevention and control of forest diseases, and sustainable ecological management in karst regions.展开更多

Recently, we developed a pocket-type dynamical doublefolding potential(DDFP) that effectively incorporates both the surface-medium effect and interior Pauli repulsion in α decay [H. Zheng et al., Phys. Rev. C 109, L011301(2024)]. This potential results in a pocket geometry within the nuclear surface region, which is consistent with the α-clustering characteristics predicted by microscopic calculations. In this study, the accuracy of the pocket-type DDFP was validated via systematic calculations of α-decay half-lives and an extended evaluation of the nuclear charge radii of the daughter nuclei. The results demonstrate good agreement with the experimental data for both quantities, thereby confirming the reliability of the DDFP model. Compared with calculations that use α-nucleus interactions derived from conventional double-folding procedures, DDFP employs fewer adjustable parameters to achieve a more accurate description of the charge radii based on the experimental α-decay energies.展开更多

In addition, we studied the correlation between the rate of change of the α decay penetration probability and angle between the directions of the laser electric field and α particle emission for different nuclei. Based on this correlation, the average effect of extreme laser fields on the half-life of many nuclei with arbitrary α particle emission angles was calculated. The calculations show that the laser suppression and promotion effects on the α decay penetration probability of the nuclei population with completely random α particle-emission directions are not completely canceled.The remainder led to a change in the average penetration probability of the nuclei. Furthermore, the possibility of achieving a higher average rate of change by altering the spatial shape of the laser is explored. We conclude that circularly polarized lasers may be helpful in future experiments to achieve a more significant average rate of change of the α decay half-life of the nuclei population.展开更多

Fresh fruits have evolved with a plethora of microorganisms having important roles in maintaining fruit health. However, little information is available on the dynamics, structure, and functional capacities of underpinning fruit microbiomes. The present review discussed environmental conditions favoring fruit-harbored antagonists and their different modes of action for suppressing postharvest pathogens in fruits. It also provides information on omics technologies such as next-generation sequencing (NGS),metaproteomics, metatranscriptomic, and metabolomics studies to characterize fruit microbiomes. With the advent of NGS and meta-omics technologies, microbiome research could bring remarkable development and understanding in succeeding biological treatments. In addition, they may provide us with a fundamental understanding of microclimate requirements for fruit microbiome establishment and microbiome shifts during post-harvest storage, which would be advantageous in developing composite biocontrol treatments for post-harvest decay management.展开更多

文摘The α-nucleus interaction is crucial in the description of α decay. Recently, we developed a pocket-type dynamical doublefolding potential(DDFP) that effectively incorporates both the surface-medium effect and interior Pauli repulsion in α decay [H. Zheng et al., Phys. Rev. C 109, L011301(2024)]. This potential results in a pocket geometry within the nuclear surface region, which is consistent with the α-clustering characteristics predicted by microscopic calculations. In this study, the accuracy of the pocket-type DDFP was validated via systematic calculations of α-decay half-lives and an extended evaluation of the nuclear charge radii of the daughter nuclei. The results demonstrate good agreement with the experimental data for both quantities, thereby confirming the reliability of the DDFP model. Compared with calculations that use α-nucleus interactions derived from conventional double-folding procedures, DDFP employs fewer adjustable parameters to achieve a more accurate description of the charge radii based on the experimental α-decay energies.

文摘In this paper,we study the one-dimensional motion of viscous gas near a vacuum,with the gas connecting to a vacuum state with a jump in density.The interface behavior,the pointwise decay rates of the density function and the expanding rates of the interface are obtained with the viscosity coefficientμ(ρ)=ρ^(α)for any 0<α<1;this includes the timeweighted boundedness from below and above.The smoothness of the solution is discussed.Moreover,we construct a class of self-similar classical solutions which exhibit some interesting properties,such as optimal estimates.The present paper extends the results in[Luo T,Xin Z P,Yang T.SIAM J Math Anal,2000,31(6):1175-1191]to the jump boundary conditions case with density-dependent viscosity.

文摘Li-rich layered oxide(LRLO)cathodes have been regarded as promising candidates for next-generation Li-ion batteries due to their exceptionally high energy density,which combines cationic and anionic redox activities.However,continuous voltage decay during cycling remains the primary obstacle for practical applications,which has yet to be fundamentally addressed.It is widely acknowledged that voltage decay originates from the irreversible migration of transition metal ions,which usually further exacerbates structural evolution and aggravates the irreversible oxygen redox reactions.Recently,constructing O2-type structure has been considered one of the most promising approaches for inhibiting voltage decay.In this review,the relationship between voltage decay and structural evolution is systematically elucidated.Strategies to suppress voltage decay are systematically summarized.Additionally,the design of O2-type structure and the corresponding mechanism of suppressing voltage decay are comprehensively discussed.Unfortunately,the reported O2-type LRLO cathodes still exhibit partially disordered structure with extended cycles.Herein,the factors that may cause the irreversible transition metal migrations in O2-type LRLO materials are also explored,while the perspectives and challenges for designing high-performance O2-type LRLO cathodes without voltage decay are proposed.

文摘Understanding forest health is of great importance for the conservation of the integrity of forest ecosystems.The monitoring of forest health is,therefore,indispensable for the long-term conservation of forests and their sustainable management.In this regard,evaluating the amount and quality of dead wood is of utmost interest as they are favorable indicators of biodiversity.Apparently,remote sensing-based Machine Learning(ML)techniques have proven to be more efficient and sustainable with unprecedented accuracy in forest inventory.However,the application of these techniques is still in its infancy with respect to dead wood mapping.This study,for the first time,automatically categorizing individual coniferous trees(Norway spruce)into five decay stages(live,declining,dead,loose bark,and clean)from combined Airborne Laser Scanning(ALS)point clouds and color infrared(CIR)images using three different ML methods−3D point cloud-based deep learning(KPConv),Convolutional Neural Network(CNN),and Random Forest(RF).First,CIR colorized point clouds are created by fusing the ALS point clouds and color infrared images.Then,individual tree segmentation is conducted,after which the results are further projected onto four orthogonal planes.Finally,the classification is conducted on the two datasets(3D multispectral point clouds and 2D projected images)based on the three ML algorithms.All models achieved promising results,reaching overall accuracy(OA)of up to 88.8%,88.4%and 85.9%for KPConv,CNN and RF,respectively.The experimental results reveal that color information,3D coordinates,and intensity of point clouds have significant impact on the promising classification performance.The performance of our models,therefore,shows the significance of machine/deep learning for individual tree decay stages classification and landscape-wide assessment of the dead wood amount and quality by using modern airborne remote sensing techniques.The proposed method can contribute as an important and reliable tool for monitoring biodiversity in forest ecosystems.

文摘In this study, the effect of extreme laser fields on the α decay process of ground-state even–even nuclei was investigated.Using the deformed Gamow-like model, we found that state-of-the-art lasers can cause a slight change in the α decay penetration probability of most nuclei. In addition, we studied the correlation between the rate of change of the α decay penetration probability and angle between the directions of the laser electric field and α particle emission for different nuclei. Based on this correlation, the average effect of extreme laser fields on the half-life of many nuclei with arbitrary α particle emission angles was calculated. The calculations show that the laser suppression and promotion effects on the α decay penetration probability of the nuclei population with completely random α particle-emission directions are not completely canceled.The remainder led to a change in the average penetration probability of the nuclei. Furthermore, the possibility of achieving a higher average rate of change by altering the spatial shape of the laser is explored. We conclude that circularly polarized lasers may be helpful in future experiments to achieve a more significant average rate of change of the α decay half-life of the nuclei population.

文摘There is an urgent necessity to shift our diets toward those rich in fruits and vegetables and at reduce postharvest losses of perishables.Approximately 20%-50%of fruits and vegetables are lost due to poor postharvest handling and pathogen infections in developing countries while it was estimated as 5%-35%in developed countries. Fresh fruits have evolved with a plethora of microorganisms having important roles in maintaining fruit health. However, little information is available on the dynamics, structure, and functional capacities of underpinning fruit microbiomes. The present review discussed environmental conditions favoring fruit-harbored antagonists and their different modes of action for suppressing postharvest pathogens in fruits. It also provides information on omics technologies such as next-generation sequencing (NGS),metaproteomics, metatranscriptomic, and metabolomics studies to characterize fruit microbiomes. With the advent of NGS and meta-omics technologies, microbiome research could bring remarkable development and understanding in succeeding biological treatments. In addition, they may provide us with a fundamental understanding of microclimate requirements for fruit microbiome establishment and microbiome shifts during post-harvest storage, which would be advantageous in developing composite biocontrol treatments for post-harvest decay management.

文摘The rapid developments of quantum information science(QIS)have opened up new avenues for exploring fundamental physics.Quantum nonlocality,a key aspect for distinguishing quantum information from classical one,has undergone extensive examinations in particles’decays through the violation of Bell-type inequalities.Despite these advancements,a comprehensive framework based on quantum information theory for particle interaction is still lacking.Trying to close this gap,we introduce a generalized quantum measurement description for decay processes of spin-1/2 hyperons.We validate this approach by aligning it with established theoretical calculations and apply it to the joint decay of ΛΛ pairs.We employ quantum simulation to observe the violation of Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt inequalities in η_(c)/χ_(c0)→ΛΛˉprocesses.Our generalized measurement description is adaptable and can be extended to a variety of high energy processes,including decays of vector mesons,J/ψ,ψ(2S)→ΛΛ,in the Beijing Spectrometer Ⅲ(BESⅢ)experiment at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider(BEPC).The methodology developed in this study can be applied to quantum correlation and information processing in fundamental interactions.
