A DH population derived from K239S/K92 S was constructed to investigate the inheritance of stigma exertion. K239 S and K92 S are TPSGMS lines with higher and lower stigma exertion rates（SER）, respectively. The SERs of parents, reciprocal crosses and the DH population were evaluated for two consecutive years. The results showed that no significant difference was observed in SER between F1 s of K239S/K92 S and K92S/K239 S,implying that stigma exertion was a trait controlled by nuclear gene（s）. In the DH population, the segregation of low and high SERs fitted to a ratio of 3 ∶1 by Chisquare test, suggesting that the stigma exertion of K239 S was controlled by one pair of recessive genes. In addition, the effects of temperature and humidity on the expression of stigma exertion were also discussed.展开更多

Since the electron has no internal structure, equating its Rest Mass Energy to its Rest Charge Energy, we calculate the electron to be a sphere of radius 4.68 × 10<sup>-</sup><sup>16</sup> meters. We calculate the Electric Field at the surface of the electron due to its charge and the Repulsive Force two electrons in proximity exert on each other.展开更多

文摘In this paper, we derive the analytical expression for the multipole expansion coefficients of scattering and interior fields of a graphene-coated dielectric particle under the illumination of an arbitrary optical beam. By using this arbitrary beam theory, we systematically investigate the optical forces exerted on the graphene-coated particle by a focused Gaussian beam. Via tuning the chemical potential of the graphene, the optical force spectra could be modulated accordingly at resonant excitation. The hybridized whispering gallery mode of the electromagnetic field inside the graphene-coated polystyrene particle is more intensively localized than the pure polystyrene particle, which leads to a weakened morphology-dependent resonance in the optical forces. These investigations could open new perspectives for dynamic engineering of optical manipulations in optical tweezers applications.

文摘In 2020,the“black swan”of the COVID-19 virus has exerted a heavy impact on the world.The Chinese economy almost came to halt due to the virus in the last two months.China is also faced with the tasks of building a moderately well-off society in all aspects and poverty alleviation.How will the Chinese economy get out of this predicament?Will it achieve its plan?What policies should it make to stimulate the economy?
文摘Equating the Rest Mass Energy of a free electron to its Rest Charge Energy we prove that the electron cannot be a dimensionless point particle because if it were dimensionless, it would contain an infinite amount of Rest Charge Energy at the location of its charge since r = 0 gives , which is clearly not possible. Since the electron has no internal structure, equating its Rest Mass Energy to its Rest Charge Energy, we calculate the electron to be a sphere of radius 4.68 × 10<sup>-</sup><sup>16</sup> meters. We calculate the Electric Field at the surface of the electron due to its charge and the Repulsive Force two electrons in proximity exert on each other.
文摘Heat stroke(HS)is a fatal disease caused by thermal damage in the body,and it has a very high mortality rate.In 2015,the People’s Liberation Army Professional Committee of Critical Care Medicine published the first expert consensus on HS in China,Expert consensus on standardized diagnosis and treatment for heat stroke.With an increased understanding of HS and new issues that emerged during the HS treatment in China in recent years,the 2015 consensus no longer meet the requirements for HS prevention and treatment.It is necessary to update the consensus to include the latest research evidence and establish a new consensus that has broader coverage,is more practical and is more in line with China’s national conditions.This new expert consensus includes new concept of HS,recommendations for laboratory tests and auxiliary examinations,new understanding of diagnosis and differential diagnosis,On-site emergency treatment and In-hospital treatment,translocation of HS patients and prevention of HS.
