文摘Five new small theropod teeth and one manual ungual have recently been recovered from the Upper Cretaceous Nenjiang Formation in the Songliao Basin.The specimens were examined for their morphological characteristics,leading to the identification of four distinct taxa.The first taxon consists of three foliodont teeth characterized by a pronounced basal constriction and large hook-like distal denticles,which can be attributed to Troodontidae.The second taxon is represented by an elongated tooth featuring prominent longitudinal ridges,allowing for its assignment to Paronychodon.The third taxon is a bladelike tooth with notably small distal denticles,corresponding to Richardoestesia.The fourth taxon comprises a manual ungual characterized by a transversely wide and nearly symmetrical proximal articular surface,fully enclosed ventral foramina,a flattened ventral surface,and the absence of a flexor tubercle,resembling Alvarezsauridae.These specimens significantly enhance the known dinosaur diversity of the Nenjiang Formation and provide crucial insights for understanding the terrestrial ecosystem in Northeast Asia during the Late Cretaceous.

文摘Electrocatalytic glucose oxidation to high-value chemicals provides a sustainable route for biomass valorization.NiCo-based catalysts have emerged as promising candidates for glucose oxidation reaction owing to the intrinsic activity of Ni and Co catalytic centers.However,the dynamic evolution and atomic-scale synergy between these centers remain elusive.Herein,we fabricated NiCo_(2)O_(4)nanosheets supported on nickel foam,where Ni preferentially occupies tetrahedral sites to regulate the electronic configuration of octahedral Co.Experimental and theoretical results demonstrate that the incorporation of tetrahedral Ni induces low-to-intermediate spin transition in octahedral Co,thereby optimizing eg orbital occupancy and stabilizing active sites.This spin-state engineering establishes Ni-Co synergistic catalytic centers for the selective oxidation of glucose to formate(FA).At higher potential(≥1.4 V vs.RHE),octahedral Co undergoes reconstruction into excessive active CoOOH and CoO_(2)species,resulting in glucose overoxidation to CO_(2)and intensified competitive oxygen evolution.In contrast,at lower potentials(<1.4 V vs.RHE),tetrahedral Ni facilitates electron delocalization across the Ni–O–Co lattice,thereby stabilizing octahedral Co for glucose adsorption and oxidation.Subsequently,a coupled electrocatalytic system was constructed,achieving 80.7%FA yield with 91.3%Faradaic efficiency(FE)at NiCo_(2)O_(4)anode and H2 evolution rate of 696μmol h^(−1)with 99.9%FE at Pt cathode for 2 h under 1.35 V vs.RHE.This work provides a deep insight into spin-state regulation of the catalytic center,offering valuable guidance for rational catalyst design.

文摘Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by reduced bone mass,compromised bone microstructure,and an increased risk of fractures,primarily due to excessive osteoclast-mediated bone resorption relative to osteoblast-mediated bone formation.While current anti-osteoporosis drugs,such as bisphosphonates and denosumab,predominantly focus on reducing bone resorption,osteoanabolic approaches are essential for restoring bone microarchitecture and ultimately reducing fracture risk.Traditional Chinese medicines(TCMs)and their active ingredients have long been used in China for osteoporosis prevention and treatment.This review provides a comprehensive evaluation of the effects and molecular mechanisms of 65 natural products across 24 categories on osteoblast-mediated bone formation.These compounds promote bone formation by regulating key transcription factors(RUNX2 and Osterix)and signaling pathways,including WNT/β-catenin,bone morphogenic protein(BMP),mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK),phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B(PI3K/AKT),oxidative stress,autophagy,and epigenetic regulation.Notably,certain natural products[e.g.,icariin(ICA)]exert their effects through multiple targets and pathways.Many of these natural products have demonstrated significant therapeutic efficacy in animal models,such as ovariectomized(OVX)mice.Our findings suggest that natural products with kidney-tonifying,anti-inflammatory,and antioxidant properties,as well as those inhibiting adipocyte differentiation,may hold promise for osteoporosis treatment.Additionally,we highlight current research gaps and propose future directions,including high-throughput screening and validation in diverse animal models,development of novel bone-targeting delivery systems,and identification of natural compounds targeting osteocytes.

文摘This study investigates the facies development and sedimentology of the Late Permian Chhidru Formation,a mixed carbonate-siliciclastic unit exposed in the Western Salt Range,Potwar Basin,Pakistan.The formation is subdivided into four lithological units reflecting lateral variability,with thicknesses and lithologies ranging from fossiliferous sandy limestone to interbedded limestone and sandstone.These successions record a depositional shift from a carbonate platform to mixed carbonate-clastic,and ultimately,clastic-dominated environments.Lithostratigraphy suggests deposition on the underlying Wargal Limestone carbonates during a Late Permian sea-level fall on the northwest Indian margin of Gondwana.Similar Permian successions with identical lithological characteristics are documented in the Persian Gulf(Dalan Formation),Arabian Platform(Khuff Formation),and Iran(Nesen and Hambust formations).Petrographic analysis reveals deposition in the distal middle to proximal inner shelf settings of a carbonate-siliciclastic mixed,unrimmed platform.Based on identified foraminiferal assemblages,the Chhidru Formation's age is estimated to range from the late Wuchiapingian to Changhsingian stages of the Lopingian epoch.

文摘Formation control of multiple spacecraft has attracted extensive research attention.However,achieving reliable performance under sensor failures remains a significant challenge.This paper develops an integrated framework that jointly designs distributed observers and local controllers to ensure robust formation control in the presence of external disturbances and sensor malfunctions.Treating the spacecraft formation as a single interconnected system,each spacecraft constructs a distributed observer that estimates the overall system state by incorporating both its own measurements and the predicted control information shared among the spacecraft.Based on the observer estimates,a local control law is synthesized to maintain the desired formation.Rigorous theoretical analysis and numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed integrated approach effectively guarantees formation stability and resilience against sensor failures and disturbances.

文摘Cholelithiasis has a complex pathogenesis,necessitating better therapeutic and preventive strategies.We recently read with interest Wang et al’s study on lysine acetyltransferase 2A(KAT2A)-mediated adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK)succinylation in cholelithiasis.Using mouse models and gallbladder mucosal epithelial cells,they found that KAT2A inhibits gallstones through AMPK K170 succinylation,thereby activating the AMPK/silent information regulator 1 pathway to reduce inflammation and pyroptosis.This study is the first to connect lysine succinylation with cholelithiasis,offering new insights and identifying succinylation as a potential therapeutic target.Future research should confirm these findings using patient samples,investigate other posttranslational modifications,and use structural biology to clarify succinylationinduced conformational changes,thereby bridging basic research to clinical applications.

文摘Accurate prediction of xylem phenology is essential for evaluating the long-term impacts of climate change on carbon sequestration,forest productivity,and ecosystem resilience.However,the environmental controls on xylem phenology remain poorly clarified in terms of quantification,particularly for broadleaf species and the process of growth cessation.In this study,we monitored the onset and cessation of wood formation in 19 temperate tree species over periods of up to six years(2019–2024,with observation length varying among species)to assess the impact of environmental changes on the timing of wood formation.Linear mixed-effects models were used to evaluate and quantify the relative importance of photoperiod,forcing,chilling,precipitation,SPEI(standardized precipitation-evapotranspiration index),cold degree days,and MAT(mean annual temperature)to the onset and cessation of wood formation.Photoperiod and forcing temperature were identified as the key drivers of wood formation onset,while photoperiod was the primary factor regulating its cessation.Wood formation onset was less sensitive to photoperiod compared with cessation,but exhibited greater sensitivity to temperature.Conifers were more responsive to changes in day length at onset than broadleaf species,while broadleaf species appeared to rely solely on photoperiod to regulate the cessation,with conifers showing additional modulation by temperature.Moreover,ring-porous species exhibited stronger photoperiodic control of both onset and cessation than diffuse-porous species.These findings highlight the critical role of photoperiod,temperature,or their interactions in regulating xylem phenology,providing insights for improving process-based models that predict xylem growth dynamics.
文摘Researchers are increasingly focused on enabling groups of multiple unmanned vehicles to operate cohesively in complex,real-world environments,where coordinated formation control and obstacle avoidance are essential for executing sophisticated collective tasks.This paper presents a Distributed Formation Control and Obstacle Avoidance(DFCOA)framework for multi-unmanned ground vehicles(UGV).DFCOA integrates a virtual leader structure for global guidance,an improved A^(*)path planning algorithm with an advanced cost function for efficient path planning,and a repulsive-force-based improved vector field histogram star(VFH^(*))technique for collision avoidance.The virtual leader generates a reference trajectory while enabling distributed execution;the improved A^(*)algorithm reduces planning time and number of nodes to determine the shortest path from the starting position to the goal;and the improved VFH^(*)uses 2D LiDAR data with inter-agent repulsive force to simultaneously avoid collision with obstacles and maintain safe inter-vehicle distances.The formation stability of the proposed DFCOA reaches 95.8%and 94.6%in two scenarios,with root mean square(RMS)centroid errors of 0.9516 and 1.0008 m,respectively.Velocity tracking is precise(velocity centroid error RMS of 0.2699 and 0.1700 m/s),and linear velocities closely match the desired 0.3 m/s.Safety metrics showed average collision risks of 0.7773 and 0.5143,with minimum inter-vehicle distances of 0.4702 and 0.8763 m,confirming collision-free navigation of four UGVs.DFCOA outperforms conventional methods in formation stability,path efficiency,and scalability,proving its suitability for decentralized multi-UGV applications.

文摘In this paper,a hierarchical reinforcement learning(HRL)based real-time formation control approach is proposed for heterogeneous aerial-ground agents(HAGAs).Initially,to address the issue of imprecise modeling of HAGAs,a unified heterogeneous chained system model is constructed using the hand-position method.Subsequently,a hierarchical framework is designed:(1)To decouple multi-agent collaborative interactions and individual dynamic rules through hierarchical resolution,which enables controller design to be independent of direct reliance on neighborhood collaborative errors.(2)By adopting a dual-layer framework that separates collaborative topology management from individual control strategies,seamless switching between multiple task scenarios can be achieved simply by reconstructing the collaborative topology of the first layer.Moreover,to overcome the issue of non-asymptotic stability of tracking errors caused by the discount factor in traditional optimal control,a cost function based on the derivative of the tracking error is introduced.This not only addresses the error issue caused by the discount factor but also effectively resolves the problem of the unboundedness of the quadratic cost function.Finally,the efficacy of the proposed algorithm is substantiated through simulation experiments.
文摘A clear goal in cold tumor research is to identify strategies for converting them into immunologically‘hot’tumors with enhanced immune cell infiltration and activity,thereby improving their responsiveness to immunotherapy.The genesis of cold tumors is exceedingly intricate.In recent times,as the analysis of this phenomenon has been pursued with greater depth,a suite of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic technologies has surfaced.These novel approaches and tactics are anticipated to modulate the tumor immune microenvironment across various dimensions,thereby facilitating the advancement of personalized and precise treatment modalities for cold tumors.The present article addresses the challenge of diminished therapeutic responsiveness to“cold tumors”within clinical settings.It systematically elucidates the multi-faceted regulatory mechanisms underlying immune evasion in cold tumors and offers a detailed analysis of advanced therapeutic strategies that incorporate nanotechnology,gene editing,and artificial intelligence methodologies.Furthermore,the future development trends of immunotherapy were explored in greater depth.It was posited that the convergence of artificial intelligence,multidimensional genomics,and emerging biotechnologies has presented positive prospects for the treatment of cold tumors,and has offered a theoretical foundation and technical framework for the transformation of cold tumors into“hot tumors”.

文摘Conventional error cancellation approaches separate molecules into smaller fragments and sum the errors of all fragments to counteract the overall computational error of the parent molecules.However,these approaches may be ineffective for systems with strong localized chemical effects,as fragmenting specific substructures into simpler chemical bonds can introduce additional errors instead of mitigating them.To address this issue,we propose the Substructure-Preserved Connection-Based Hierarchy(SCBH),a method that automatically identifies and freezes substructures with significant local chemical effects prior to molecular fragmentation.The SCBH is validated by the gas-phase enthalpy of formation calculation of CHNO molecules.Therein,based on the atomization scheme,the reference and test values are derived at the levels of Gaussian-4(G4)and M062X/6-31+G(2df,p),respectively.Compared to commonly used approaches,SCBH reduces the average computational error by half and requires only15%of the computational cost of G4 to achieve comparable accuracy.Since different types of local effect structures have differentiated influences on gas-phase enthalpy of formation,substituents with strong electronic effects should be retained preferentially.SCBH can be readily extended to diverse classes of organic compounds.Its workflow and source code allow flexible customization of molecular moieties,including azide,carboxyl,trinitromethyl,phenyl,and others.This strategy facilitates accurate,rapid,and automated computations and corrections,making it well-suited for high-throughput molecular screening and dataset construction for gas-phase enthalpy of formation.
文摘Hydraulic fracturing serves as a critical technology for reservoir stimulation in deep coalbed methane(CBM)development,where the mechanical properties of gangue layers exert a significant control on fracture propagation behavior.To address the unclear mechanisms governing fracture penetration across coal-gangue interfaces,this study employs the Continuum-Discontinuum Element Method(CDEM)to simulate and analyze the vertical propagation of hydraulic fractures initiating within coal seams,based on geomechanical parameters derived from the deep Benxi Formation coal seams in the southeastern Ordos Basin.The investigation systematically examines the influence of geological and operational parameters on cross-interfacial fracture growth.Results demonstrate that vertical stress difference,elastic modulus contrast between coal and gangue layers,interfacial stress differential,and interfacial cohesion at coal-gangue interfaces are critical factors governing hydraulic fracture penetration through these interfaces.High vertical stress differences(>3 MPa)inhibit interfacial dilation,promoting predominant crosslayer fracture propagation.Reduced interfacial stress contrasts and enhanced interfacial cohesion facilitate fracture penetration across interfaces.Furthermore,smaller elastic modulus contrasts between coal and gangue correlate with increased interfacial aperture.Finally,lower injection rates effectively suppress vertical fracture propagation in deep coal reservoirs.This study elucidates the characteristics and mechanisms governing cross-layer fracture propagation in coal–rock composites with interbedded partings,and delineates the dynamic evolution laws and dominant controlling factors involved.Thefindings provide critical theoretical insights for the optimization of fracture design and the efficient development of deep coalbed methane reservoirs.

文摘The Ordos Basin is a large superimposed hydrocarbon-bearing basin in China,and further research on the sedimentary characteristics and sedimentary evolution of the sequence framework of target layers is of great theoretical and practical significance for guiding oil and gas exploration.The sedimentary facies and sedimentary evolution of the high-resolution sequence framework of the Carboniferous Taiyuan Formation in the Hangjinqi area have been systematically analyzed for the first time by drilling,logging and seismic data.The results show that four types of sequence interfaces can be identified in the Taiyuan Formation:regional unconformity surfaces,scour surfaces,lithologic-lithofacies transformation surfaces and flooding surfaces.According to the sedimentary response caused by the upward and downward movements of the base level at different levels,the Taiyuan Formation can be divided into 2 long-term cycles(LSC_(1)-LSC_(2)),4 mid-term cycles(MSC_(1)-MSC4)and 7 short-term cycles(SSC_(1)-SSC7).The long-and mid-term cycles correspond to members T_(1)and T_(2)and layers T_(1)-1,T_(1-2),T_(2-1),and T_(2)-2,respectively.Long-term cycles are dominated by C_(1);mid-term cycles are dominated by C_(1)and C_(2),followed by A2;and short-term cycles are dominated by C_(1),C_(2),A1 and A2.Under the high-resolution sequence stratigraphic framework,the Hangjinqi area underwent a transformation of fan delta and tidal flat depositional systems during the Taiyuan Formation sedimentary period.In the MSC_(1)-MSC_(2)stage,owing to a large-scale paleocontinent,the fan delta sedimentary body,which was limited in scale and scope,developed only in the southeastern corner and gradually transitioned basinward to tidal flat facies.In the MSC3-MSC4 stage,as the paleocontinent continuously decreased and the sedimentary range expanded,fan-delta plain sedimentation began in the study area.Several braided distributary channels with poor connectivity developed on the fan-delta plain,and between them were floodplains and peat swamps.
