文摘Pythium stalk rot(PSR)is a destructive disease of maize,severely affecting yield and grain quality.The identification of quantitative trait loci(QTL)or genes for resistance to PSR forms the basis of diseaseresistant hybrids breeding.In this study,a major QTL,Resistance to Pythium stalk rot 1(RPSR1),was identified from a set of recombinant inbred lines derived from MS71 and POP.Using a recombinant progeny testing strategy,RPSR1 was fine-mapped in a 472 kb interval.Through candidate gene expression,gene knock-down and knock-out studies,a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase gene,PEP RECEPTOR 2(ZmPEPR2),was assigned as a PSR resistance gene.These results provide insights into the genetic architecture of resistance to PSR in maize,which should facilitate breeding maize for resistance to stalk rot.

文摘All-vanadium flow batteries(VFBs)are one of the most promising large-scale energy storage technologies.Conducting an operando quantitative analysis of the polarizations in VFBs under different conditions is essential for developing high power density batteries.Here,we employ an operando decoupling method to quantitatively analyze the polarizations in each electrochemical and chemical reaction of VFBs under different catalytic conditions.Results show that the reduction reaction of V^(3+)presents the largest activation polarization,while the reduction reaction of VO_(2)^(+)primarily contributes to concentration polarizations due to the formation of the intermediate product V_(2)O_(3)^(3+).Additionally,it is found that the widely used electrode catalytic methods,incorporating oxygen functional groups and electrodepositing Bi,not only enhance the reaction kinetics but also exacerbate concentration polarizations simultaneously,especially during the discharge process.Specifically,in the battery with the high oxygen-containing electrodes,the negative side still accounts for the majority of activation loss(75.3%)at 200 mA cm^(-2),but it comes down to 36,9% after catalyzing the negative reactions with bismuth.This work provides an effective way to probe the limiting steps in flow batteries under various working conditions and offers insights for effectively enhancing battery performance for future developments.

文摘Supercritical CO_(2)(SC-CO_(2))fracturing stands out a promising waterless stimulation technique in the development of unconventional resources.While numerous studies have delved into the inducedfracture mechanism of SC-CO_(2),the small scale of rock samples and synthetic materials used in many studies have limited a comprehensive understanding of fracture propagation in unconventional formations.In this study,cubic tight sandstone samples with dimensions of 300 mm were employed to conduct SC-CO_(2)fractu ring experiments under true-triaxial stre ss conditions.The spatial morphology and quantitative attributes of fracture induced by water and SC-CO_(2)fracturing were compared,while the impact of in-situ stress on fracture propagation was also investigated.The results indicate that the SCCO_(2)fracturing takes approximately ten times longer than water fracturing.Furthermore,under identical stress condition,the breakdown pressure(BP)for SC-CO_(2)fracturing is nearly 25%lower than that for water fracturing.A quantitative analysis of fracture morphology reveals that water fracturing typically produces relatively simple fracture pattern,with the primary fracture distribution predominantly controlled by bedding planes.In contrast,SC-CO_(2)fracturing results in a more complex fracture morphology.As the differential of horizontal principal stress increases,the BP for SC-CO_(2)fractured rock exhibits a downward trend,and the induced fracture morphology becomes more simplified.Moreover,the presence of abnormal in-situ stress leads to a further increase in the BP for SC-CO_(2)fracturing,simultaneously enhancing the development of a more conductive fracture network.These findings provide critical insights into the efficiency and behavior of SC-CO_(2)fracturing in comparison to traditional water-based fracturing,offering valuable implication for its potential applications in unconventional reservoirs.

文摘Quantitative detection of trace small-sized nanoplastics(<100 nm)remains a significant challenge in surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS).To tackle this issue,we developed a hydrophobic CuO@Ag nanowire substrate and introduced a multiplex-feature analysis strategy based on the coffee ring effect.This substrate not only offers high Raman enhancement but also exhibits a high probability of detection(POD),enabling rapid and accurate identification of 50 nm polystyrene nanoplastics over a broad concentration range(1–10−10 wt%).Importantly,experimental results reveal a strong correlation between the coffee ring formation and the concentration of nanoplastic dispersion.By incorporating Raman signal intensity,coffee ring diameter,and POD as combined features,we established a machine learning-based mapping between nanoplastic concentration and coffee ring characteristics,allowing precise predictions of dispersion concentration.The mean squared error of these predictions is remarkably low,ranging from 0.21 to 0.54,representing a 19 fold improvement in accuracy compared to traditional linear regression-based methods.This strategy effectively integrates SERS with wettability modification techniques,ensuring high sensitivity and fingerprinting capabilities,while addressing the limitations of Raman signal intensity in accurately reflecting concentration changes at ultra-low levels,providing a new idea for precise SERS measurements of nanoplastics.

文摘BACKGROUND The clinical impact of post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) quantitative flow ratio (QFR) in patients treated with PCI for chronic total occlusion (CTO) was still undetermined.METHODS All CTO vessels treated with successful anatomical PCI in patients from PANDA Ⅲ trial were retrospectively measured for postPCI QFR.The primary outcome was 2-year vessel-oriented composite endpoints (VOCEs,composite of target vessel-related cardiac death,target vessel-related myocardial infarction,and ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization).Receiver operator characteristic curve analysis was conducted to identify optimal cutoff value of post-PCI QFR for predicting the 2-year VOCEs,and all vessels were stratified by this optimal cutoff value.Cox proportional hazards models were employed to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) with 95% CI.RESULTS Among 428 CTO vessels treated with PCI,353 vessels (82.5%) were analyzable for post-PCI QFR.31 VOCEs (8.7%) occurred at 2 years.Mean value of post-PCI QFR was 0.92±0.13.Receiver operator characteristic curve analysis shown the optimal cutoff value of post-PCI QFR for predicting 2-year VOCEs was 0.91.The incidence of 2-year VOCEs in the vessel with post-PCI QFR<0.91 (n=91) was significantly higher compared with the vessels with post-PCI QFR≥0.91 (n=262)(22.0%vs.4.2%,HR=4.98,95%CI:2.32–10.70).CONCLUSIONS Higher post-PCI QFR values were associated with improved prognosis in the PCI practice for coronary CTO.Achieving functionally optimal PCI results (post-PCI QFR value≥0.91) tends to get better prognosis for patients with CTO lesions.

文摘Sini Decoction(SNT)is a traditional formula recognized for its efficacy in warming the spleen and stomach and dispersing cold.However,elucidating the mechanism of action of SNT remains challenging due to its complex multiple components.This study utilized a synergistic approach combining two-dimensional fluorescence difference in gel electrophoresis(2D-DIGE)-based drug affinity responsive target stability(DARTS)with label-free quantitative proteomics techniques to identify the direct and indirect protein targets of SNT in myocardial infarction.The analysis identified 590 proteins,with 30 proteins showing significant upregulation and 51 proteins showing downregulation when comparing the SNT group with the model group.Through the integration of 2D-DIGE DARTS with proteomics data and pharmacological assessments,the findings indicate that protein disulfide-isomerase A3(PDIA3)may serve as a potential protein target through which SNT provides protective effects on myocardial cells during myocardial infarction.

文摘Bone age assessment(BAA)aims to determine whether a child’s growth and development are normal concerning their chronological age.To predict bone age more accurately based on radiographs,and for the left-hand X-ray images of different races model can have better adaptability,we propose a neural network in parallel with the quantitative features from the left-hand bone measurements for BAA.In this study,a lightweight feature extractor(LFE)is designed to obtain the featuremaps fromradiographs,and amodule called attention erasermodule(AEM)is proposed to capture the fine-grained features.Meanwhile,the dimensional information of the metacarpal parts in the radiographs is measured to enhance the model’s generalization capability across images fromdifferent races.Ourmodel is trained and validated on the RSNA,RHPE,and digital hand atlas datasets,which include images from various racial groups.The model achieves a mean absolute error(MAE)of 4.42 months on the RSNA dataset and 15.98 months on the RHPE dataset.Compared to ResNet50,InceptionV3,and several state-of-the-art methods,our proposed method shows statistically significant improvements(p<0.05),with a reduction in MAE by 0.2±0.02 years across different racial datasets.Furthermore,t-tests on the features also confirm the statistical significance of our approach(p<0.05).

文摘Several quantitative trait genes(QTGs)related to rice heading date,a key factor for crop development and yield,have been identified,along with complex interactions among genes.However,a comprehensive genetic interaction network for these QTGs has not yet been established.In this study,we use 18K-rice lines to identify QTGs and their epistatic interactions affecting rice heading date.We identify 264 pairs of interacting quantitative trait loci(QTL)and construct a comprehensive genetic network of these QTL.On average,the epistatic effects of QTL pairs are estimated to be approximately 12.5%of additive effects of identified QTL.Importantly,epistasis varies among different alleles of several heading date genes.Additionally,57 pairs of interacting QTGs are also significant in their epistatic effects on 12 other agronomic traits.The identified QTL genetic interactions are further validated using near-isogenic lines,yeast two-hybrid,and split-luciferase complementation assays.Overall,this study provides a genetic network of rice heading date genes,which plays a crucial role in regulating rice heading date and influencing multiple related agronomic traits.This network serves as a foundation for understanding the genetic mechanisms of rice quantitative traits and for advancing rice molecular breeding.

文摘The dynamic,heterogeneous nature of Edge computing in the Internet of Things(Edge-IoT)and Industrial IoT(IIoT)networks brings unique and evolving cybersecurity challenges.This study maps cyber threats in Edge-IoT/IIoT environments to the Adversarial Tactics,Techniques,and Common Knowledge(ATT&CK)framework by MITRE and introduces a lightweight,data-driven scoring model that enables rapid identification and prioritization of attacks.Inspired by the Factor Analysis of Information Risk model,our proposed scoring model integrates four key metrics:Common Vulnerability Scoring System(CVSS)-based severity scoring,Cyber Kill Chain–based difficulty estimation,Deep Neural Networks-driven detection scoring,and frequency analysis based on dataset prevalence.By aggregating these indicators,the model generates comprehensive risk profiles,facilitating actionable prioritization of threats.Robustness and stability of the scoring model are validated through non-parametric correlation analysis using Spearman’s and Kendall’s rank correlation coefficients,demonstrating consistent performance across diverse scenarios.The approach culminates in a prioritized attack ranking that provides actionable guidance for risk mitigation and resource allocation in Edge-IoT/IIoT security operations.By leveraging real-world data to align MITRE ATT&CK techniques with CVSS metrics,the framework offers a standardized and practically applicable solution for consistent threat assessment in operational settings.The proposed lightweight scoring model delivers rapid and reliable results under dynamic cyber conditions,facilitating timely identification of attack scenarios and prioritization of response strategies.Our systematic integration of established taxonomies with data-driven indicators strengthens practical risk management and supports strategic planning in next-generation IoT deployments.Ultimately,this work advances adaptive threat modeling for Edge/IIoT ecosystems and establishes a robust foundation for evidence-based prioritization in emerging cyber-physical infrastructures.

文摘This work established a quantitative method to access the shear stability of aerobic granular sludge(AGS)and validated its feasibility by using the mature AGS from a pilot-scale(50 tons/day)membrane bioreactor(MBR)for treating real municipal wastewater.The results showed that the changing rate( S)of the peak area(S)of granule size distribution(GSD)exhibited an exponential relationship(R^(2)≥0.76)with the shear time(y=a−b·c^(x)),which was a suitable indicative index to reflect the shear stability of different AGS samples.The limiting granule size(LGS)was defined and proposed to characterize the equilibrium size for AGS after being sheared for a period of time,whose value in terms of Dv50 showed high correlation(R^(2)=0.92)with the parameter a.The free Ca^(2+)(28.44-34.21 mg/L)in the influent specifically interacted with polysaccharides(PS)in the granule’s extracellular polymeric substance(EPS)as a nucleation site,thereby inducing the formation of Ca precipitation to enhance its Young’s modulus,while Ca^(2+) primarily interacted with PS in soluble metabolic product(SMP)during the initial granulation process.Furthermore,the Young’s modulus significantly affected the parameter a related to shear stability(R^(2)=0.99).Since the parameter a was more closely related(R^(2)=1.00)to S than that of the parameter b or c,the excellent correlation(R^(2)=0.99)between the parameter a and the wet density further verified the feasibility of this method.
文摘BACKGROUND Scientifically sound and reasonable care strategies in surgical nursing play a crucial role in facilitating postoperative recovery and preventing complications.This study focused on the application of quantitative assessment strategies to postoperative care.By quantitatively analyzing the effects of nursing interventions,we explored their feasibility and effectiveness at improving postoperative recovery quality and reducing the incidence of complications.This study provides a scientific basis for nursing practice and offers new insights into nursing management with significant clinical value.AIM To analyze the efficacy of postoperative quantitative assessment strategy-based nursing care for patients with colorectal cancer(CRC).METHODS This randomized controlled trial evaluated the ability of nursing interventions using a quantitative assessment strategy to prevent postoperative complications and enhance patient recovery.Patients with CRC were randomly divided into routine nursing(RN)and quantitative assessment strategy nursing(QASN)groups.The RN group received standard care,while the QASN group also underwent screenings for visual analog scale for pain,Barthel Index for functional recovery,and self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale for psychological status.Follow-ups were conducted on postoperative days 1,7,14,28,and 56.RESULTS The participants’baseline characteristics did not significantly differ between study groups,thereby ensuring the reliability of the results.The QASN vs RN group showed significant improvements in pain management(visual analog scale scores)and psychological status(self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale scores)and a reduced incidence of postoperative complications(P<0.05).The follow-up evaluations at specified intervals confirmed these findings,indicating that quantitative assessment strategies significantly enhanced patients’postoperative pain management and psychological well-being.CONCLUSION Nursing interventions using structured quantitative assessments demonstrated significantly improved postoperative recovery and quality of life in patients with CRC,supporting their integration into standard postoperative care protocols.
文摘Background Quantitative flow ratio(QFR)based lesion selection for percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)treatment has shown clinical benefits in terms of reduced risk for myocardial infarction and repeat revascularization.Whether this benefit is consistent across different age groups still needs further investigation.Methods In this prespecified subgroup study of FAVORⅢChina trial,we compared long-term clinical outcomes between QFR-guided and angiography-guided PCI among different age groups among 3825 enrolled subjects.The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events(MACEs),a composite of all-cause death,myocardial infarction,and ischemia-driven revascularization.Results Of the 3825 patients,1717(44.9%)were aged≥65 years.At baseline,patients≥65 had higher rates of hypertension,hyperlipidaemia,stroke history(P<0.0001),and peripheral vascular disease(P=0.024)and had higher SYNTAX scores(P=0.0095).Compared with standard angiography guidance,the QFR-guided strategy consistently reduced the 1-year(≥65 years,6.04%vs.9.19%,HR=0.65,95%CI:0.46–0.92;<65 years,5.53%vs.8.43%,HR=0.65,95%CI:0.47–0.91)and 3-year MACE rates in both age groups(≥65 years,11.8%vs.15.2%,HR:0.75,95%CI:0.58–0.98;<65 years,9.5%vs.14.6%,HR=0.63;95%CI:0.49–0.81),without a significant interaction(Pinteraction=0.99).Within the QFR-guided group,the 3-year MACE rate in patients with deferred vessels was numerically greater in patients aged≥65 years than in those aged<65 years(8.3%vs.3.0%,P=0.10).Conclusions Although with higher rate of comorbidities and more complex coronary anatomy,the long-term benefit of the QFR-guided PCI strategy remained consistent in patients≥65 years,compared with those<65 years.
