文摘Outer-independent Roman domination on graphs originates from the defensive strategy of Ancient Rome,which is that if any city without an army is attacked,a neighboring city with two armies could mobilize an army to support it and any two cities that have no army cannot be adjacent.The outer-independent Roman domination on graphs is an attractive topic in graph theory,and the definition is described as follows.Given a graph G=(V,E),a function f:V(G)→{0,1,2}is an outer-independent Roman dominating function(OIRDF)if f satisfies that every vertex v∈V with f(v)=0 has at least one adjacent vertex u∈N(v)with f(u)=2,where N(v)is the open neighborhood of v,and the set V0={v|f(v)=0}is an independent set.The weight of an OIRDF f is w(f)=∑_(v∈V)f(v).The value of minf w(f)is the outerindependent Roman domination number of G,denoted asγoiR(G).This paper is devoted to the study of the outer-independent Roman domination number of the Cartesian product of paths P_(n)□P_(m).With the help of computer,we find some recursive OIRDFs and then we present an upper bound ofγoiR(P_(n)□P_(m)).Furthermore,we prove the lower bound ofγoiR(P_(n)□P_(m))(n≤3)is equal to the upper bound.Hence,we achieve the exact value ofγoiR(P_(n)□P_(m))for n≤3 and the upper bound ofγoiR(P_(n)□P_(m))for n≥4.

文摘This paper provides a comprehensive reflection on the evolution of globalization research in the Pearl River Delta(PRD),considering the current international context and national strategies.It identifies several challenges in existing studies,such as the ambiguity of globalization patterns and the insufficient representativeness of key indicators.In response to these challenges,this paper draws upon the theory of strategic coupling to propose a new theoretical framework for analyzing globalization in latecomer regions.Based on the concepts of spatial stickiness and locational advantages,this paper further develops a two-dimensional quantitative indicator matrix.Using the PRD as a case study,it conducts empirical measurements and analysis,leading to three main conclusions.First,the theory of strategic coupling proves well-suited for analyzing the globalization of latecomer regions,exemplified by the PRD.It offers a more systematic,clearer,and more robust explanatory framework compared to traditional measurement methods.Second,the empirical analysis from the PRD reveals that the pattern of regional globalization does not follow a simple linear growth or cyclical model.Instead,it exhibits a circuitous,complex,and upward spiral,unfolding along an S-shaped evolutionary trajectory.Third,through comparisons of the eastern and western shores,as well as segmented city analyses,this study finds that locational advantages significantly shape the evolutionary pattern of globalization.This influence is not only apparent during the region's initial take-off phase but also plays a more profound role in shaping its subsequent developmental trajectory.This study makes a distinctive contribution to both the theoretical understanding of globalization in latecomer regions and the practical field of regional economic development in China.Additionally,it introduces a novel measurement approach for studying regional globalization.

文摘Consider a graph G=(V,E).A perfect double Roman dominating function(PDRDF for short)is a function h:V→{0,1,2,3}that satisfies the condition∑_(y∈NG[x],h(y)≥1)h(y)=|{y∈NG(x):h(y)≥1}|+2 for any x∈V with h(x)≤1.The weightω(h)of this function is∑_(y∈V)h(y).The perfect double Roman domination number(PDRD-number)of G,denoted byγ_(dR)^(p)(G),is defined as the minimum weight among all PDRDFs of G.This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the PDRD-number of connected cographs,demonstrating that it falls within the set{2,3,4,5,6}.Furthermore,it establishes that for any integer i≥7,there is a connected cograph G such that its PDRD-number is equal to i.

文摘In plants,numerous non-Mendelian inherited dominant effects,including over-,incomplete-,and codominance,are frequently observed,yet they remain insufficiently understood.A novel phenotype has been identified in specific soybean transformants overexpressing a single 35S::GmFT2a copy:superearly flowering dominance is exclusively observed in hemizygotes,not in homozygotes.Homozygous individual exhibits si RNA-mediated DNA methylation,causing epigenetic transcriptional silencing,whereas no such effect occurs in hemizygotes.Intriguingly,two distinct rounds of DNA methylation establishment occur,each mediated by a different mechanism.The homozygotes that derived from the hemizygous mother plants carrying 35S::GmFT2a locus was associated with the initiation of CHHcontext DNA methylation at 35S promoters mediated by 21 and 22 nucleotide(nt)si RNAs.Subsequently,24 nt si RNAs contribute to additional CHG-and CG-context DNA methylation at 35S promoters during the homozygosity of genes in plants already homozygous in maternal lineage.Reducing DNA methylation levels can be achieved by generating a hemizygous genotype through a crossing experiment with a recessive genotype.This research has unveiled a phenomenon:hemizygote-dependent dominance resulting from transcriptional silencing in homozygote offsprings.It provides new insights into the molecular mechanism underlying dominant effects.

文摘This study analyzed data from zooplankton surveys conducted in the coastal waters of Rizhao during the summers of2020–2023 to deterine trends in the number of taxa,dominant taxa,biomass,abundance,and biodiversity over the 4 years.The results indicated the presence of 41 zooplankton species belonging to Hydromedusa,Ctenophora,Copepoda,Cladocera,Amphipoda,Decapoda,Tunicata,Chaetognatha,Chordata,along with 19 types of planktonic larvae.The total number of taxa showed little change over the 4 years.A total of 10 dominant species and 8 dominant larval types were identified in the surveyed waters,and the dominant species vary from year to year.In terms of community structure,planktonic larvae,hydromedusae,and copepods were the dominant taxa.The proportion of planktonic larvae showed an upward trend,while that of hydromedusae exhibited a downward trend.The zooplankton collected by the shallow water type I(SWI)net and shallow water type II(SWII)net in the survey area could each be divided into 2 communities.Correlation analysis revealed that the abundance of zooplankton collected by the(SWI)net was significantly negatively correlated with water temperature(P<0.05),while the Shannon-Wiener index(H')was significantly positively correlated with water temperature(P<0.05).However,the total number of taxa,abundance,and biomass were significantly higher in the(SWII)net compared to(SWI)net.The average abundance of zooplankton collected in the SWI net gradually decreased over the years(P<0.05).There was no obvious difference in the community diversity indices of zooplankton collected by the two types of nets,and the community structure of zooplankton communities was consistent.

文摘Background Crossbreeding is widely promoted as an efficient strategy to improve the productivity in agriculture.The molecular mechanism underlying heterosis for egg production is always intriguing in chicken.The transcriptional dynamic changes play a crucial role in the formation of heterosis,but little is known for the egg production traits.Results In present study,we measured the continuous manifestation of heterosis ranging from 2.67%to 10.24%for egg number in the crossbreds generated by reciprocal crossing White Leghorn and Beijing You chicken.The high-quality transcriptomes of ovary for purebreds(WW and YY)and crossbreds(WY and YW)in 5 laying stages were sequenced and integrated to identify regulatory networks relevant to the heterosis.We found highly conserved transcriptional features among 4 genetic groups.By using weighted gene co-expression network analysis(WGCNA),we obtained multiple gene co-expression modules that were significantly correlated with egg number for each group.The common KEGG pathways including apelin signaling pathway,cell cycle,ribosome,spliceosome and oxidative phosphorylation,were screened for the 2 crossbreds.Then,we identified consensus co-expression modules(CMs)that showed divergent expression pattern among crossbred(WY or YW)and purebreds(WW and YY).The hub genes of CMs were again overrepresented in the cell cycle pathway,and the crossbreds exhibited temporally complementary dominance of hub genes in the 5 laying stages.These results suggested that the crossbreds inherited from both parents to maintain the ovary function by cell cycle-related genes,contributing to the persistent heterosis for egg production.Furthermore,the dominant genes including MAD2L1,CHEK2 and E2F1 were demonstrated to function in ovarian follicle development and maturation and could be the candidate genes for egg production heterosis.Conclusion Our study characterized the dynamic profile of genome-wide gene expression in ovary and highlighted the role of dominant expression of cell cycle pathway genes in heterosis.These findings provided new insights for the molecular mechanism of egg production heterosis,which would facilitate the rational choice of suitable parents for producing crossbred chickens with higher egg production.

文摘This study systematically investigates the concentration of ^(222)Rn in geothermal fluids and the distribution of geothermal radon mineral water in Shandong Province,with the aim of elucidating formation mechanisms and influencing factors.The findings indicate that the overall abundance of ^(222)Rn in geothermal fluids across the region is relatively low.Geothermal radon mineral water is primarily located within banded thermal reservoirs associated with bedrock fracture structures in the Ludong and Luxi uplift geothermal zones.The study reveals that the ionic composition,radioactivity intensity,and extent of water-rock interactions exert only effects in the concentration of ^(222)Rn in geothermal fluids.The formation of geothermal radon mineral water is predominantly governed by“fracture-controlled”mechanisms,with thermal reservoir lithology,fracture tectonics,and seismic activity serving as key determinants.Additionally,the enrichment of ^(222)Rn in geothermal fluids is influenced by factors such as geothermal fluid temperature,depth of occurrence,cap rock thickness,and alteration processes.The genetic mechanisms of geothermal radon mineral water can be categorized into two types:„native‟and„composite‟.These findings provide critical insights into the exploration and development of geothermal radon mineral water resources in Shandong and similar regions.

文摘Utilizing the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index(SPEI)and ERA5 reanalysis data,this study investigates the variability of spring drought in southern China from 1979 to 2022 and its associated drivers.The results indicate that southern China experienced interdecadal changes in SPEI over the past several decades,which can be concluded that drought severity intensified from 1979 to 2010,whereas a transition shift towards increased wetness occurred from 2010 to 2022.The first Empirical Orthogonal Function(EOF1)mode of SPEI variability in southern China accounts for 44.37%of the total variance,reflecting a uniform variation of SPEI across the region.In contrast,the second Empirical Orthogonal Function(EOF2),which explains 24.41%of the total variance,reveals a west-east dipole pattern in SPEI variability.Further analysis indicates that the positive phase of EOF1 is primarily driven by warm sea surface temperature anomalies(SSTAs)in the tropical eastern Pacific.These anomalies induce an anomalous anticyclone over the Philippine Sea,enhancing water vapor transport to southern China during spring.The positive phase of EOF2 is jointly influenced by warm SSTAs in the tropical Indian Ocean and the central Pacific;the latter induces anticyclonic anomalies over the Philippine Sea,which enhance water vapor transport from the western Pacific and increase precipitation in the eastern part of southern China.However,the warm SSTAs in the tropical Indian Ocean trigger an anomalous anticyclone over South Asia,inhibiting water vapor transport from the Bay of Bengal to the western part of southern China and thus reducing precipitation there.

文摘The Roman domination problem is an important combinatorial optimization problem that is derived from an old story of defending the Roman Empire and now regains new significance in cyber space security,considering backups in the face of a dynamic network security requirement.In this paper,firstly,we propose a Roman domination game(RDG)and prove that every Nash equilibrium(NE)of the game corresponds to a strong minimal Roman dominating function(S-RDF),as well as a Pareto-optimal solution.Secondly,we show that RDG is an exact potential game,which guarantees the existence of an NE.Thirdly,we design a game-based synchronous algorithm(GSA),which can be implemented distributively and converge to an NE in O(n)rounds,where n is the number of vertices.In GSA,all players make decisions depending on local information.Furthermore,we enhance GSA to be enhanced GSA(EGSA),which converges to a better NE in O(n2)rounds.Finally,we present numerical simulations to demonstrate that EGSA can obtain a better approximate solution in promising computation time compared with state-of-the-art algorithms.
文摘Hereditary alpha tryptasemia was first described in 2016 and is the most common(up to 72%)cause of elevated serum basal tryptase(TPS).The clinical presentation of this condition,which is caused by copy number gains in the TPSAB1 gene encoding serumαTPS,is variable for each patient.Some patients are asymptomatic,whereas in others,especially those with increased mast cell activation,it has been associated with a higher risk of anaphylaxis.Better characterization of this entity is important to identify atrisk patients and to develop new treatment strategies.This review provided an overview of hereditary alpha tryptasemia and increased awareness of this condition by discussing the current information in the literature.
