XRD and SEM showed that the absorbability of NMP in the pore of [Zn4O(BDC)3]8 was weaker than that of DMF. The thermal decomposition temperature of [Zn4O(BDC)3]8 synthesized in DMF was higher than that in NMP according to TG and FT-IR. In addition, the nitrogen sorption isotherms indicated that NMP improved gas sorption property of [Zn4O(BDC)3]8. The COSMO optimized calculations indicated that the total energy of Zn4O(BDC)3 in NMP was higher than that in DMF, and compared with non-solvent system, the charge of zinc atoms decreased and the charge value was the smallest in NMP. Furthermore, the interaction of DMF, NMP or DEF in [Zn4O(BDC)3]8 crystal model was calculated by DFT method. The results suggested that NMP should be easier to be removed from pore of materials than DMF from the point of view of energy state. It can be concluded that NMP was a favorable solvent to synthesize [Zn4O(BDC)3]8 and the microscopic mechanism was that the binding force between Zn4O(BDC)3 and NMP molecule was weaker than DMF.展开更多

Wang, 2016, 2017), a Chinese word meaning continuation that captures the process in which interlocutors participate in interaction through the actions of(utterance) completion,(content) extension, and(topic) creation(CEC). This article reports a conversation analytic case study designed to investigate how the continuation strategies of CEC are used in real-time communication to achieve mutual understanding, and thus to construct intersubjectivity(Verhagen, 2005) and promote the development of second language(L2)interactional competence. Our data consisted of audio and video recordings of a 25-minute conversation between two L2 English speakers, one expert and one novice, and a stimulated recall interview with them. Results revealed that the expert employed CEC at the early stage of interaction to maintain successful communication, and the novice gradually aligned with the expert and used CEC to achieve mutual understanding, construct intersubjectivity, and create opportunities for interaction and learning at the late stage, displaying her development of L2 interactional competence. Our findings have useful implications for theoretical and methodological development of the xu-argument studies as well as for xu-based L2 pedagogy.展开更多

The existence and local stability of equilibria are discussed thoroughly for competitive systems, cooperative systems and predator-prey systems, respectively. For systems with interaction of competition and cooperation, it is found that the two populations are uniformly persistent if the positive equilibrium is stable. For predator-prey interaction, however, some further conditions are needed to guarantee the persistence of the systems.展开更多

For this purpose I examine the concept of crisis entrepreneurship from a communication point of view. Using discourse analysis, I analyse the discursive practices of crisis entrepreneurs in the domain of education in the Netherlands. This paper is part of my Ph.D. project in which I examine the dilemmas encountered by crisis entrepreneurs and the interactional solutions they choose in addressing a crisis. In my Ph.D. project I have analysed how crisis entrepreneurs use discursive practices： （1） to show thefactuality of the problem. For example, the way the problem is presented is too theoretical and is not a problem in reality; （2） to present the credibility of the messenger as an authentic, legitimate spokesman. Crisis entrepreneurs may be accused of wanting to attract attention to their own cause; （3） to create the accountability for the problem and the solution. For example, crisis entrepreneurs can be accused of nursing personal grievances or of drawing attention to the issue without actively attempting to solve it. The conclusion is that a communication professional is able to recognize a problem raised by crisis entrepreneurs. Knowledge of interactional dilemmas helps communication professionals understand the potential of crisis entrepreneurs. A communication professional can therefore contribute to the recognition of crises by acknowledging that a crisis entrepreneur is someone who can have a strong hand in the public agenda, i.e., public affairs that are important to the authorities.展开更多

A quasi-experimental research design was adopted. The experimental class （EC） participated in cooperative learning for 30 minutes in each 90-minute session in an integrated skills course while the control class （CC） had the same course following a teacher-fronted format. Interactional data of EC and CC were collected for comparison from the pre- and post-tasks conducted at the beginning and the end of the experiment respectively. The results show that EC appeared to have made more gains in interactional strategy use than CC after the experiment. Although CC made more progress in elaboration than EC, EC produced more uptakes, used much less Chinese and made fewer message abandonments, suggesting better oral fluency in their interaction as a result of cooperative learning.展开更多

文摘The nervous system processes a vast amount of information,performing computations that underlie perception,cognition,and behavior.During development,neuronal guidance genes,which encode extracellular cues,their receptors,and downstream signal transducers,organize neural wiring to generate the complex architecture of the nervous system.It is now evident that many of these neuroguidance cues and their receptors are active during development and are also expressed in the adult nervous system.This suggests that neuronal guidance pathways are critical not only for neural wiring but also for ongoing function and maintenance of the mature nervous system.Supporting this view,these pathways continue to regulate synaptic connectivity,plasticity,and remodeling,and overall brain homeostasis throughout adulthood.Genetic and transcriptomic analyses have further revealed many neuronal guidance genes to be associated with a wide range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders.Although the precise mechanisms by which aberrant neuronal guidance signaling drives the pathogenesis of these diseases remain to be clarified,emerging evidence points to several common themes,including dysfunction in neurons,microglia,astrocytes,and endothelial cells,along with dysregulation of neuron-microglia-astrocyte,neuroimmune,and neurovascular interactions.In this review,we explore recent advances in understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which aberrant neuronal guidance signaling contributes to disease pathogenesis through altered cell-cell interactions.For instance,recent studies have unveiled two distinct semaphorin-plexin signaling pathways that affect microglial activation and neuroinflammation.We discuss the challenges ahead,along with the therapeutic potentials of targeting neuronal guidance pathways for treating neurodegenerative diseases.Particular focus is placed on how neuronal guidance mechanisms control neuron-glia and neuroimmune interactions and modulate microglial function under physiological and pathological conditions.Specifically,we examine the crosstalk between neuronal guidance signaling and TREM2,a master regulator of microglial function,in the context of pathogenic protein aggregates.It is well-established that age is a major risk factor for neurodegeneration.Future research should address how aging and neuronal guidance signaling interact to influence an individual’s susceptibility to various late-onset neurological diseases and how the progression of these diseases could be therapeutically blocked by targeting neuronal guidance pathways.

文摘HIV infection continues to pose a significant global health challenge,with subSaharan Africa bearing a disproportionate burden.The replication cycle of HIV is fundamentally driven by intricate molecular interactions.This study investigates the competitive biochemical interplay between reverse transcriptase(RT)and integrase(IN)enzymes,employing a fractional calculus framework to model their mutual inhibitory effects.Through the application of fixed-point theory and Picard stability analysis,the existence,uniqueness,and stability of the fractional-order system are rigorously established.The role of RT-IN enzymatic competition in influencing HIV replication dynamics is elucidated through global sensitivity analysis using Latin Hypercube Sampling.Furthermore,the model incorporates memory-dependent characteristics by examining three distinct fractional operators,namely,the Caputo,Caputo-Fabrizio,and Atangana-Baleanu operators in the Caputo sense,thereby elucidating their respective influences on system behavior.The Atangana-Baleanu operator,in particular,demonstrates an enhanced capacity to capture the complex,synergistic processes underpinning HIV progression.This research provides a critical nexus between molecular virology and applied mathematics,offering foundational insights for the advancement of more precise and targeted therapeutic strategies against HIV.
文摘Human life is invaluable,and timely efforts are crucial to rescue individuals trapped under debris following an earthquake.To identify opportunities for improving post-earthquake search and rescue(SAR)robotics,we get insights through four different sources:(i)A literature review of disaster robotics and victim psychology,(ii)A public survey on earthquake awareness and their view of rescue robots,(iii)Semi-structured interviews with first responders,and(iv)Responses from GenAI chatbots which were prompted to assume the role of expert rescuers.The triangulated analysis show that there are challenges in mobility,autonomy,communication,situational awareness,and human-robot collaboration.The public respondents showed high acceptance of robot-assisted rescue and prioritised survivor detection,sensing,and communication as essential functionalities of robots.The experts expressed limitations in current equipment,the need for improved victim localisation,and interest in XR-based training and robot-assisted debris handling.The GenAI chatbots highlighted structural risk assessment,multi-sensor fusion,and supervised autonomy.Therefore,this study identifies critical robot features,outlines multi-modal interaction requirements,and highlights gaps in current SAR practice.These findings offer robot design directions for developing effective,trustworthy SAR robots,which can be integrated to future response disaster-workflows.

文摘Host-yeast interactions are fundamental drivers of human microbiome dynamics,spanning a spectrum from mutualistic symbiosis to opportunistic pathogenesis with profound implications for systemic health.This review systematically elucidates the complex molecular mechanisms governing these relationships,with a specific focus on metabolic interdependence and immunomodulation.We analyze how yeast-derived metabolites,particularly short-chain fatty acids(SCFAs),modulate host glucose and lipid homeostasis via signaling pathways such as GPR41/43 and GLP-1 secretion.Furthermore,the review explores the pathophysiological role of fungal dysbiosis in chronic conditions,including obesity,diabetes,and inflammatory bowel disease(IBD),highlighting how a breakdown in host-yeast homeostasis triggers pro-inflammatory cascades.Beyond the fungal-host axis,we introduce the concept of the"mycobiome-virome-bacterial axis,"discussing how commensal yeasts synergize with beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacterium and influence viral infectivity through Interferon-mediated innate immune priming.We critically evaluate how cutting-edge technologies-including transgenic mouse models(specifically Dectin-1^(-/-)and CARD9^(-/-),metabolomics,and single-cell sequencing-have revolutionized our mechanistic understanding of these multi-kingdom dynamics.By integrating current findings,we identify critical knowledge gaps and propose high-resolution research frameworks,such as humanized organ-on-a-chip systems,to simulate intricate host-microbe interactions under physiological flow conditions.This comprehensive synthesis provides a strategic foundation for developing targeted,next-generation microbiome-based interventions to restore host-yeast balance and enhance overall human health.

文摘As a multidisciplinary phenomenon,panel aeroelasticity in shock-dominated flow is featured by two primary interactions:Fluid-Structure Interactions(FSIs)and Shock-Boundary Layer Interactions(SBLIs).The former raises structural concerns,and the latter is of aerodynamic interest.Thus,panel aeroelasticity in shock-dominated flow represents a vital topic for the development and optimization of supersonic vehicles and propulsion systems.This review systematically summarizes recent advances in the methodologies applied to capture structural and fluid dynamics,including theoretical models,numerical simulations,and wind tunnel experiments.The application of data-driven modal decomposition,an advanced technique to extract physically crucial features,on the topic is introduced.From the perspective of FSIs,the distinctive aeroelastic behaviors in shock-dominated flow,including hysteresis phenomena and nonlinear responses,are highlighted.From the perspective of SBLIs,the modifications in their spatial and temporal characteristics imposed by the aeroelastic responses are emphasized.Motivated by the interaction between the shock waves and structural response,different strategies have been proposed to implement aeroelastic suppression and shock control,which have the potential to enhance structural safety and aerodynamic performance in the next generation of high-speed flight vehicles.
文摘As an important index to measure the degree of entanglement in quantum systems,concurrence plays an important role in practical research.In this paper,we study the concurrence between two qubits in triangular triple quantum dot structure.Through calculation and simulation,it is found that concurrence is mainly affected by the interdot coupling strength t,Coulomb interactionU,temperature T,and electrode coupling G.Through comparative studies with parallel triple quantum dot structures,we demonstrate that the triangular geometry exhibits significantly enhanced concurrence under identical conditions.In addition,under the condition that concurrence exceeds 0.9,the functional relationship between t and U is obtained through simulation,which provides theoretical support for quantum dot regulation under high entanglement.Finally,we demonstrate the feasibility of implementing a three-qubit quantum gate,using the Toffoli gate as a representative example,under the condition that the triangular triple quantum dot system maintains high entanglement.

文摘Density functional theory(DFT)calculations were employed to investigate the adsorption behavior of NH_(3),AsH_(3),PH_(3),CO_(2),and CH_(4)molecules on both pristine and mono-vacancy phosphorene sheets.The pristine phosphorene surface showsweak physisorption with all the gasmolecules,inducing onlyminor changes in its structural and electronic properties.However,the introduction ofmono-vacancies significantly enhances the interaction strength with NH_(3),PH_(3),CO_(2),and CH_(4).These variations are attributed to substantial charge redistribution and orbital hybridization in the presence of defects.The defective phosphorene sheet also exhibits enhanced adsorption energies,along with favorable sensitivity and recovery characteristics,highlighting its potential as a promising gas sensor for NH_(3),AsH_(3),PH_(3),CO_(2),and CH_(4)at ambient conditions.

文摘As a common electronic adhesive,ultraviolet(UV)curing polyurethane acrylate adhesive has both flexibility and wear resistance of polyurethane,excellent weather resistance and optical properties of acrylate.Despite the extensive applications,it is still difficult to solve the problems caused by the shrinkage of adhesive.Here,a new type of photosensitive adhesive for bonding electronic components based on supramolecular interaction was designed and synthesized.The supramolecular interaction of cyclodextrin and adamantane moieties introduced into the adhesive polymer entitles the viscosity of the adhesive to rise rapidly during use,thereby preventing adhesive loss and dislocation of electronic components.UV light could further cure the adhesive and position the electronic components.The adhesive shrunk<2%when cured by UV light,so it can be used for electronic packaging and high-resolution,defect-free lithography.

文摘Drought has the potential to induce extensive defoliation in forest trees.However,the responses of non-structural carbohydrates(NSCs,including soluble sugar and starch)to the combined effects of drought and defoliation remain to be elucidated,particularly in pine trees.In this study,we investigated the interactive effects of drought and defoliation on the contents of NSCs in five organs(new and old needles,twigs,stems,as well as roots)of Chinese pine(Pinus tabuliformis)seedlings.We sampled two batches of the seedlings at 30 and 50 days,respectively.Our results showed that Chinese pine could tolerate mild drought,but severe drought significantly decreased the content of soluble sugars in all organs.Defoliation initially suppressed the photosynthetic rate and significantly reduced the soluble sugar content in all organs.However,after 50 days,this effect was substantially mitigated by the new needle growth.Starch content in twigs,stems,and roots was found to be more vulnerable to defoliation than to drought.A significant interactive effect existed between drought and defoliation on NSCs,with defoliation exacerbating the negative impact of drought on the accumulation of NSCs,especially in new needles and roots.These findings highlight the complex effects of defoliation on NSCs during drought,underscoring critical implications for the management and economic value of Chinese pine forests.
