In this study, specific length amplified fragment sequencing(SLAF-Seq) was used to resequence a population comprising 197 F8recombinantinbred lines(RILs) derived from a cross between vegetable-type Qichi881 and oilseed-type YufengZC of B. juncea. In total, 438,895 high-quality SLAFs were discovered, 47,644 of which were polymorphic, and 3,887 of the polymorphic markers met the requirements for genetic map construction. The final map included 3,887 markers on 18 linkage groups and was 1,830.23 centiMorgan(cM) in length, with an average distance of 0.47 cM between adjacent markers. Using the newly constructed high-density genetic map, a total of 53 QTLs for erucicacid(EA), oleic acid(OA), and linolenic acid(LNA) were detected and integrated into eight consensus QTLswith two for each of these traits. For each of these three traits, two candidate genes were cloned and sequence analysis indicated colocalization with their respective consensus QTLs. The co-dominant allele-specific markers for Bju.FAD3.A03 and Bju.FAD3.B07 were developed and showed co-localization with their consensus QTLs andco-segregation with LNA content, further supporting the results of QTL mapping and bioinformatic analysis. Theexpression levels of the cloned homologous genes were also determined, and the genes were tightly correlatedwith the EA, OA and LNA contents of different lines. The results of this study will facilitate the improvement offatty acid traits and molecular breeding of B. juncea. Further uses of the high-density genetic map created in this study are also discussed.展开更多

文摘This paper presents an optimal operation method for embedded DC interconnections based on low-voltage AC/DC distribution areas(EDC-LVDA)under three-phase unbalanced compensation conditions.It can optimally determine the transmission power of the DC and AC paths to simultaneously improve voltage quality and reduce losses.First,considering the embedded interconnected,unbalanced power structure of the distribution area,a power flow calculation method for EDC-LVDA that accounts for three-phase unbalanced compensation is introduced.This method accurately describes the power flow distribution characteristics under both AC and DC power allocation scenarios.Second,an optimization scheduling model for EDC-LVDA under three-phase unbalanced conditions is developed,incorporating network losses,voltage quality,DC link losses,and unbalance levels.The proposed model employs an improved particle swarm optimization(IPSO)two-layer algorithm to autonomously select different power allocation coefficients for the DC link and AC section under various operating conditions.This enables embedded economic optimization scheduling while maintaining compensation for unbalanced conditions.Finally,a case study based on the IEEE 13-node system for EDC-LVDA is conducted and tested.The results show that the proposed optimal operation method achieves a 100%voltage compliance rate and reduces network losses by 13.8%,while ensuring three-phase power balance compensation.This provides a practical solution for the modernization and upgrading of low-voltage power grids.

文摘Metal-support interactions and hydrogen spillover effects in heterogeneous catalysts play a crucial role in aromatic hydrogenation reactions;however,these effects are limited by the metal dispersion on the catalyst and the number of acceptable H*receptors.This study prepares highly dispersed Ni nanoparticles(NPs)catalysts on a Beta substrate via precursor structure topology transformation.In contrast to traditional support materials,the coordination and electronic structure changes between the Ni NPs and the support were achieved,further optimizing the active interface sites and enhancing hydrogen activation and hydrogenation performance.Additionally,the-OH groups at the strong acid sites in zeolite effectively intensified the hydrogen spillover effect as receptors for H^(*)migration and anchoring,accelerating the hydrogenation rate of aromatic rings.Under solvent-free conditions,this catalyst was used for the hydrogenation reaction of aromatic-rich oils,directly producing a C_(8)-C_(14)branched cycloalkanes mixture with an aromatic conversion rate of>99%.The cycloalkanes mixture produced by this method features high density(0.92 g/mL)and a low freezing point(<-60℃),making it suitable for use as high-density aviation fuel or as an additive to enhance the volumetric heat value of conventional aviation fuels in practical applications.

文摘In rotationally extruded fittings,high-density polyethylene(HDPE)pipes prepared using conventional processing methods often suffer from poor pressure resistance and low toughness.This study introduces an innovative rotary shear system(RSS)to address these deficiencies through controlled mandrel rotation and cooling rates.We successfully prepared self-reinforced HDPE pipes with a three-layer structure combining spherical and shish-kebab crystals.Rotational processing aligned the molecular chains in the ring direction and formed shish-kebab crystals.As a result,the annular tensile strength of the rotationally processed three-layer shish-kebab structure(TSK)pipe increased from 26.7 MPa to 76.3 MPa,an enhancement of 185.8%.Notably,while maintaining excellent tensile strength(73.4 MPa),the elongation at break of the spherulite shishkebab spherulite(SKS)tubes was improved to 50.1%,as compared to 33.8%in the case of shish-kebab spherulite shish-kebab(KSK)tubes.This improvement can be attributed to the changes in the micro-morphology and polymer structure within the SKS tubes,specifically due to the formation of small-sized shish-kebab crystals and the low degrees of interlocking.In addition,2D-SAXS analysis revealed that KSK tubes have higher tensile strength due to smaller crystal sizes and larger shish dimensions,forming dense interlocking structures.In contrast,the SKS and TSK tubes had thicker amorphous regions and smaller shish sizes,resulting in reduced interlocking and mechanical performance.

文摘Evaluation of backfilling effectiveness plays a crucial role in the geological environment management and restoration of abandoned open-pit quarries,providing a scientific basis for subsequent greening efforts.Backfill soil,predominantly composed of silty clay,demonstrates high water retention capacity and elevated moisture content,leading to a pronounced resistivity contrast with the bedrock exposed by quarrying activities.To investigate the distribution of backfill soil subsurface and assess backfilling effectiveness in the study area,this study conducted a comprehensive geophysical investigation utilizing the high-density electrical resistivity tomography(ERT).A total of 19 ERT survey lines were deployed across three distinct areas in Liuyao Village,Huaibei City,Anhui Province,China.The inversion results,derived from both two-dimensional(2D)and three-dimensional(3D),reveal distinct electrical properties of the subsurface materials:the backfill soil layer shows low resistivity features,the fill stone layer exhibits medium to high resistivity,and the bedrock shows the highest resistivity.The 2D inversion results,from the data measured using the Wenner array effectively capture the spatial distribution and structural features of the backfill soil layer.The findings indicate a gradual east-west thinning of the clay layer within the quarry.Furthermore,the northern pit area exhibits a uniform distribution of backfill soil layer,indicative of effective backfilling operations.In contrast,the southern pit area lacks a well-defined clay layer,suggesting suboptimal backfilling effectiveness.

文摘Nano-twinned copper(nt-Cu),with a preferred orientation,is highly promising as interconnect materials in high-density advanced packaging due to its considerable mechanical strength,excellent electrical conductivity,and resistance to thermal migration.However,its application is impeded by sulfur-containing byproducts from the electroplating process,exacerbating the formation of Kirkendall voids within solder joints during thermal aging.Herein,through the incorporation of Zinc(Zn)into the nt-Cu layer,we develop a nt-Cu/Zn composite structure.Our findings provide the first definitive confirmation of the mechanism by which sulfur atoms migrate to the Cu_(3)Sn/nt-Cu interface through interstitial diffusion,thereby reducing the activation energy for vacancy formation.We further demonstrate that Zn effectively an-choring sulfur atoms,forming ZnS within the nt-Cu layer during heat treatment,which increases the vacancy formation energy and inhibits the development of Kirkendall voids.Remarkably,no Kirkendall voids are observed in the modified interconnects even after prolonged aging at 150℃ for 1000 h.The nt-Cu/Zn composite metallization layers significantly decrease the growth rate of interfacial intermetallic compounds by 33.6% and enhance the shear strength of solder interconnections to 228.9%.This research underscores the potential of nt-Cu in advanced electronic packaging,offering new pathways for improving the power density and reliability of electronic devices.

文摘Dislocation strengthening,as one of the methods to simultaneously enhance the room temperature strength and ductility of alloys,does not achieve the desired strengthening and plasticity effect during elevated-temperature deformation.Here,we report a novel strategy to boost the dislocation multiplication and accumulation during deformation at elevated temperatures through dynamic strain aging(DSA).With the introduction of the rare-earth element Ho in Mg-Y-Zn alloy,Ho atoms diffuse toward dislocations during deformation at elevated temperatures,provoking the DSA effect,which increases the dislocation density significantly via the interactions of mobile dislocations and Ho atoms.The resulting alloy achieves a great enhancement of dislocation hardening and obtains the dual benefits of high strength and good ductility simultaneously at high homologous temperatures.The present work provides an effective strategy to enhancing the strength and ductility for elevated-temperature materials.
文摘In the context of rapid urbanization,high-density construction areas face significant challenges,including the reduction of ecological spaces and the deterioration of their functions.Planning and managing ecological spaces have emerged as essential strategies to address the conflict between urban development and ecological conservation.Using Jinjiang City,Fujian Province as the case study,this paper systematically examines the significance and primary challenges of ecological space planning in highdensity construction areas.It also identifies prevailing issues within the current research domain,including“an overemphasis on top-level design at the expense of implementation,a focus on isolated aspects rather than systemic integration,and prioritization of control over coordination”.This study proposes the key aspects of ecological space planning and management in high-density construction areas,focusing on three fundamental dimensions:human-centered demand orientation,the integration of top-down and bottomup linkage mechanisms,and a differentiated control system.Drawing on the full-element assessment of the ecosystem,ecological network construction,and full-process control system implemented in Jinjiang City,an integrated approach to ecological space governance,encompassing assessment,planning,and control,has been developed.This approach offers both theoretical insights and practical guidance for optimizing ecological spaces in comparable urban contexts.

文摘BACKGROUND The association between the uric acid-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio(UHR)and mental health among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)has not been thoroughly investigated.AIM To examine the link between UHR and symptoms of depression and anxiety in patients with T2DM.METHODS A cross-sectional analysis was carried out from March 2023 to April 2024,involving participants diagnosed with T2DM.Data on sociodemographic characteristics,clinical parameters,and UHR values were systematically gathered.The Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)were utilized to evaluate depressive and anxiety symptoms,respectively.To assess the relationships between UHR and SDS/SAS scores,linear regression models were employed,incorporating adjustments for potential confounding variables.Additionally,smooth curve fitting and threshold effect analyses were conducted to explore potential nonlinear relationships.RESULTS A total of 285 patients with T2DM were included.Initial univariate analysis demonstrated a significant positive correlation between elevated UHR levels and higher SDS and SAS scores.Multivariate regression analysis revealed that a one-unit rise in UHR was associated with a 1.13-point increase in SDS scores(95%CI:0.69-1.58)and a 0.57-point increase in SAS scores(95%CI:0.20-0.93).After controlling for confounders,UHR remained positively correlated with SDS(β=1.55,95%CI:0.57-2.53)and SAS(β=0.72,95%CI:0.35-1.09).Nonlinear analysis identified critical thresholds at UHR values of 5.02 for SDS and 4.00 for SAS,beyond which the relationships between UHR and psychological symptom scores became markedly stronger(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Higher UHR levels are significantly linked to exacerbated depressive and anxiety symptoms in patients with T2DM.These results indicate that UHR may function as a promising biomarker to identify individuals at greater risk of mental health complications within this population.

文摘Rapeseed mustard(Brassica juncea L.) is the third most important oilseed crop in the world, but the geneticmechanism underlying its massive phenotypic variation remains largely unexplored. In this study, specific length amplified fragment sequencing(SLAF-Seq) was used to resequence a population comprising 197 F8recombinantinbred lines(RILs) derived from a cross between vegetable-type Qichi881 and oilseed-type YufengZC of B. juncea. In total, 438,895 high-quality SLAFs were discovered, 47,644 of which were polymorphic, and 3,887 of the polymorphic markers met the requirements for genetic map construction. The final map included 3,887 markers on 18 linkage groups and was 1,830.23 centiMorgan(cM) in length, with an average distance of 0.47 cM between adjacent markers. Using the newly constructed high-density genetic map, a total of 53 QTLs for erucicacid(EA), oleic acid(OA), and linolenic acid(LNA) were detected and integrated into eight consensus QTLswith two for each of these traits. For each of these three traits, two candidate genes were cloned and sequence analysis indicated colocalization with their respective consensus QTLs. The co-dominant allele-specific markers for Bju.FAD3.A03 and Bju.FAD3.B07 were developed and showed co-localization with their consensus QTLs andco-segregation with LNA content, further supporting the results of QTL mapping and bioinformatic analysis. Theexpression levels of the cloned homologous genes were also determined, and the genes were tightly correlatedwith the EA, OA and LNA contents of different lines. The results of this study will facilitate the improvement offatty acid traits and molecular breeding of B. juncea. Further uses of the high-density genetic map created in this study are also discussed.

文摘Interconnection planning involving bi-directional converters(BdCs)is crucial for enhancing the reliability and robustness of hybrid alternating current(AC)/direct current(DC)microgrid clusters with high penetrations of renewable energy resources(RESs).However,challenges such as the non-convex nature of BdC efficiency and renewable energy uncertainty complicate the planning process.To address these issues,this paper proposes a tri-level BdC-based planning framework that incorporates dynamic BdC efficiency and a data-correlated uncertainty set(DcUS)derived from historical data patterns.The proposed framework employs a least-squares approximation to linearize BdC efficiency and constructs the DcUS to balance computational efficiency and solution robustness.Additionally,a fully parallel column and constraint generation algorithm is developed to solve the model efficiently.Numerical simulations on a practical hybrid AC/DC microgrid system demonstrate that the proposed method reduces interconnection costs by up to 21.8%compared to conventional uncertainty sets while ensuring robust operation under all considered scenarios.These results highlight the computational efficiency,robustness,and practicality of the proposed approach,making it a promising solution for modern power systems.

文摘Stroke survivors often face significant challenges when performing daily self-care activities due to upper limb motor impairments.Traditional surface electromyography(sEMG)analysis typically focuses on isolated hand postures,overlooking the complexity of object-interactive behaviors that are crucial for promoting patient independence.This study introduces a novel framework that combines high-density sEMG(HD-sEMG)signals with an improved Whale Optimization Algorithm(IWOA)-optimized Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)network to address this limitation.The key contributions of this work include:(1)the creation of a specialized HD-sEMG dataset that captures nine continuous self-care behaviors,along with time and posture markers,to better reflect real-world patient interactions;(2)the development of a multi-channel feature fusion module based on Pascal’s theorem,which enables efficient signal segmentation and spatial–temporal feature extraction;and(3)the enhancement of the IWOA algorithm,which integrates optimal point set initialization,a diversity-driven pooling mechanism,and cosine-based differential evolution to optimize LSTM hyperparameters,thereby improving convergence and global search capabilities.Experimental results demonstrate superior performance,achieving 99.58%accuracy in self-care behavior recognition and 86.19%accuracy for 17 continuous gestures on the Ninapro db2 benchmark.The framework operates with low latency,meeting the real-time requirements for assistive devices.By enabling precise,context-aware recognition of daily activities,this work advances personalized rehabilitation technologies,empowering stroke patients to regain autonomy in self-care tasks.The proposed methodology offers a robust,scalable solution for clinical applications,bridging the gap between laboratory-based gesture recognition and practical,patient-centered care.

文摘Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors(PMSMs)are widely employed in high-performance drive applications due to their superior efficiency and dynamic capabilities.However,their control remains challenging owing to nonlinear dynamics,parameter variations,and unmeasurable external disturbances,particularly load torquefluctuations.This study proposes an enhanced Interconnection and Damp-ing Assignment Passivity-Based Control(IDA-PBC)scheme,formulated within the port-controlled Hamiltonian(PCH)framework,to address these limitations.A nonlinear disturbance observer is embedded to estimate and compensate,in real time,for lumped mis-matched disturbances arising from parameter uncertainties and external loads.Additionally,aflatness-based control strategy is employed to generate the desired current references within the nonlinear drive system,ensuring accurate tracking of time-varying speed commands.This integrated approach preserves the system’s energy-based structure,enabling systematic stability analysis while enhancing robustness.The proposed control architecture also maintains low complexity with a limited number of tunable parameters,facilitating practical implementation.Simulation and experimental results under various operating conditions demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.Comparative analysis with conventional proportional-integral(PI)control and standard IDA-PBC strategies confirms its capability to handle disturbances and maintain dynamic performance.

文摘Objective Uric acid(UA)to high-density lipoprotein(HDL)ratio(UHR)has recently been proposed as a novel biomarker of inflammation.This study aimed to investigate the association between the UHR and carotid atherosclerosis(CAS)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods In this single-center,retrospective cross-sectional study,379 patients with T2DM were enrolled and categorized into two groups:259 T2DM patients with CAS(T2DM-CAS)and 120 T2DM patients without CAS(T2DM-WCAS).Carotid intima‒media thickness(CIMT)and carotid atheromatous plaques(CAPs)were assessed via Doppler ultrasound.UHR values were compared between the groups,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was employed to evaluate their diagnostic performance.Results The UHR was significantly greater in the T2DM-CAS group than in the T2DM-WCAS group(P<0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified the UHR as an independent risk factor for T2DM-CAS(P<0.001).The area under the ROC curve(AUC)for UHR to detect CAS was 0.750,with an optimal cut-off value of 0.35.Conclusion The UHR is an independent risk factor for CAS in patients with T2DM and may serve as a valuable biomarker for predicting CAS in this population.

文摘The IUGG Associations for Atmosphere,Oceans and Cryosphere—IAMAS,IAPSO and IACS—held a Joint Scientific Assembly in Busan,South Korea,from 20 to 25 July 2025.This was the first joint assembly of all three associations since 2009,when they met in Montreal,Canada.It was the first time any of the associations had been hosted in Korea,and it had been two decades since any of them had met in Asia.The choice of Busan as the venue supported high levels of participation and smooth conference operations.The Local Organizing Committee,chaired by Prof.Kyung-Ja Ha of Pusan National University,oversaw the successful organization of the event.The assembly brought together 1725 participants in total,including 1282 researchers and 443 invited participants and individuals involved in side events,exhibitions,media coverage,and volunteer work.Participants came from 46 countries across Asia,Europe,North America,South America,Africa,and Oceania.IAMAS had 736 participants,IAPSO 321,and IACS 225.Survey data from 951 respondents revealed that Early Career Scientists,defined as those within 10 years of receiving their PhD,accounted for approximately 25%of participants.The demographic profile skewed young,with 66%of attendees in their 20s and 30s.The scientific program was organized by Prof.Seon-Ki Park(Chair),the Secretaries General from all three Associations,and the Local Organizing Committee.Reflecting the theme“Our Interconnected Earth,”the scientific program emphasized integrated approaches to climate systems,addressing climate change and environmental challenges through collaborative,transdisciplinary research.
文摘As circuit feature sizes approach the nanoscale,traditional Copper(Cu)interconnects face significant hurdles posed by rising resistance-capacitance(RC)delay,electromigration,and high power dissipation.These limitations impose constraints on the scalability and reliability of future semiconductor technologies.Our paper describes the new Vertical multilayer Aluminium Boron Nitride Nanoribbon(AlBN)interconnect structure,integrated with Density functional theory(DFT)using first-principles calculations.This study explores AlBN-based nanostructures with doping of 1Cu,2Cu,1Fe(Iron),and 2Fe for the application of Very Large Scale Integration(VLSI)interconnects.The AlBN structure utilized the advantages of vertical multilayer interconnects to both reduce the RC delay while enhancing signal integrity.Key parameters like Fermi energy,bandgap,binding energy,conduction channels,quantum resistance,and RC delay were analyzed.Through modeling and large-scale simulation,the structural,electronic,and stability attributes of the AlBN interconnects are analyzed,and the results illustrate considerable improvements in signal propagation against Cu interconnect structures.These findings confirm the tunable,high-performance nature of AlBN-2Fe,making it a promising candidate for future high-speed,low-power VLSI interconnect technologies.We demonstrated an advanced energy-efficient interconnect that can be easily scaled for future nanoscale VLSI circuit design and gives rise to a next generation of viable interconnect technology for high-capacity,high-speed,reliable semiconductor technology.
