With the use of the AMESIM software, the changes of the piston displacement, the oil pressure, the magnitude attenuation and the phase lag of the system under different plugging states are studied after simulation. Besides, the influences of the symmetrical and unsymmetrical plugging on the system are also compared and the characteristic table is given. The duo-neural network is put forward to achieve an online diagnosis on the plugging fault of the servo valve. The first level of network helps to make the qualitative diagnosis of the plugging position while the second level is for the quantitative diagnosis of the degree of the plugged position. The research results show that plugging at different positions exerts different influences on the performance of the system. The unsymmetrical plugging mainly affects the regulation time while the symmetrical plugging leads to great changes in the magnitude attenuation and the phase lag.展开更多

The mathematical model of system is built up. With the use of AMESIM software, the displacement curve of the piston, the force curve of the cartridge valve spool, the pressure curve and the flux curve in the regulation process are obtained based on simulation. The performances of three fast-opening systems composed of cartridge valves with different diameters are compared. Based on the analysis on factors that affect the execution time of fast-opening, the dead zone of the fast-opening system is put forward. To overcome the defect, dif- ferent operation modes are adopted for different zones. The result shows that with the increase of the valve diameter, the regulating time in the dead zone significantly exceeds the fast-opening time in the whole journey. Accordingly, the optimization operation tactic in the dead zone and the qualification conditions are brought forward. The fast-opening system composed of 32 mm cartridge valves is taken as an example with use of the tactic. The simulation result shows that the maximum regulating time is shortened by 509 ms.展开更多

More and more basic studies have indicated that gut microbiota can regulate brain function through the gut-brain axis, and dysbiosis of intestinal microbiota was related to anxiety. However, there is no specific evidence to support treatment of anxiety by regulating intestinal microbiota. Aims To find evidence sup porting improvement of anxiety symptoms by regulation of intestinal microbiota. Methods This systematic review of randomised controlled trials was searched based on the following databases: PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, OVID, Web of Knowledge, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, VIP databases and SinoMed. The retrieval time dated back to 25 July 2018. Then we screened research literatures based on established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Quality evaluation for each included study was done using the Cochrane risk of bias and the Jadad scale. Results A total of 3334 articles were retrieved and 21 studies were included which contained 1503 subjects. In the 21 studies, 15 chose probiotics as interventions to regulate intestinal microbiota and six chose non-probiotic ways such as adjusting daily diets. Probiotic supplements in seven studies contained only one kind of probiotic, two studies used a product that contained two kinds of probiotics and the supplements used in the other five studies included at least three kinds of probiotics. In the studies that used treatment as usual plus interventions regulating intestinal flora (IRIF) as interventions (five studies), only non-probiotic ways were effective (two studies), which means 40% of studies were effective;in the studies that used IRIF alone (16 studies, 11 studies used probiotic ways and 5 studies used non-probiotic ways), 56% of studies could improve anxiety symptoms, and 80% of studies that conducted the non-probiotic interventions were effective, while 45% of studies that used probiotic supplementations had positive effects on anxiety symptoms. Overall, 11 studies showed a positive effect on anxiety symptoms by regulating intestinal microbiota, which indicated 52% of the 21 studies were effective, and there were five studies that used probiotic supplements as interventions and six used non-probiotic interventions. In addition, it should be noted that six of seven studies showed that regulation of intestinal microbiota could treat anxiety symptoms, the rate of efficacy was 86%.Conclusions We find that more than half of the studies included showed it was positive to treat anxiety symptoms by regulation of intestinal microbiota. There are two kinds of interventions (probiotic and non-probiotic interventions) to regulate intestinal microbiota, and it should be highlighted that the non-probiotic interventions were more effective than the probiotic interventions. More studies are needed to clarify this conclusion since we still cannot run meta-analysis so far.展开更多

文摘Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae(APP)is the major pathogen of porcine contagious pleuropneumoniae(PCP).The QseB/QseC two-component system(TCS)consists of the regulator QseB and the kinase QseC,which relates to quorum sensing(QS)and virulence in some bacteria.Here,we investigated the role of QseB/QseC in apf gene cluster(apfABCD)expression of APP.Our results have showed that QseB/QseC TCS can potentially regulate the expression of apf gene cluster.The△qseBC,△apfA,△apfB,△apfC and△apfD strains are more sensitive to acidic and osmotic stressful conditions,and exhibite lower biofilm formation ability than wild-type(WT)strain,whereas the complemented strains show similar phenotype to the wr strain.In additon,the mutants have defective antiphagocytosis,adhesion and invasion when they come into contact with the host cells.In experimental animal models of infection,mice infected with△qseBC,△apfA,△apfB,△apfC and △apfD strains showed lower mortality and bacterial loads in the lung and the blood than those infected with wr strain.In conclusion,our results suggest that QseB/QseC TCS contributes to stress resistance,biofilm formation,phagocytosis,adhesion,invasion and virulence by downregulating expression of apf gene cluster in A.pleuropneumoniae.
文摘Valuation of ecosystem services has been sought as effective tools that enable the decision makers in designing the cost effective response policies for management of ecosystems towards alleviating the poverty especially in economically poor regions like South Asia. Various directions and linkages between poverty and degradation of ecosystem and reduced flow of ecosystem services can better be understood if the regulating services like hydrological flow and carbon sequestration by forest, and nutrient cycling and bioremediation： by wetlandv can be captured in monetary unit. South Asian Countries including India. Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh are the hotspots of poverty where poor depend upon various ecosystem services for their livelihoods and allocation of resource for conservation of ecosystems would have additional merit if regulating services are captured and internalized into the pubtic policy.The paperfirst raises problematic issues in valuation of regulatig ecosystem services, and attempts to link it withthe dependence of poor.

文摘Large-scale new energy grid connection leads to the weakening of the system frequency regulation capability,and the system frequency stability is facing unprecedented challenges.In order to solve rapid frequency fluctuation caused by new energy units,this paper proposes a new energy power system frequency regulation strategy with multiple units including the doubly-fed pumped storage unit(DFPSU).Firstly,based on the model predictive control(MPC)theory,the state space equations are established by considering the operating characteristics of the units and the dynamic behavior of the system;secondly,the proportional-differential control link is introduced to minimize the frequency deviation to further optimize the frequency modulation(FM)output of the DFPSU and inhibit the rapid fluctuation of the frequency;lastly,it is verified on theMatlab/Simulink simulation platform,and the results show that the model predictive control with proportional-differential control link can further release the FM potential of the DFPSU,increase the depth of its FM,effectively reduce the frequency deviation of the system and its rate of change,realize the optimization of the active output of the DFPSU and that of other units,and improve the frequency response capability of the system.

文摘The pore structure and pseudo-graphitic phase(domain size and content)of a hard carbon anode play key roles in improving the plateau capacity of sodium-ion batteries(SIBs),while it is hard to regulate them effectively and simultaneously.This study delves into the synthesis of hard carbons with tailored microstructures from esterified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC-Na).The hard carbon(EHC-500)with maximized pseudo-graphitic content(73%)and abundant uniformly dispersed closed pores was fabricated,which provides sufficient active sites for sodium ion intercalation and pore filling.Furthermore,minimized lateral width(L_(a))of pseudo-graphitic domains in EHC-500 is simultaneously realized to improve the accessibility of sodium ions to the intercalation sites and filling sites.Therefore,the optimized microstructure of EHC-500 contributes to a remarkable reversible capacity of 340 mAh/g with a high plateau capacity of 236.7 mAh/g(below 0.08 V).These findings underscore the pivotal role of microcrystalline structure and pore structure in the electrochemical performance of hard carbons and provide a novel route to guide the design of hard carbons with optimal microstructures towards enhanced sodium storage performance.

文摘Non-metallic inclusions in steel are a significant challenge,affecting material properties and leading to issues such as stress concentration,cracking,and accelerated corrosion.Current methods for removing inclusions,including bubble,electromagnetic stirring,filtration separation,fluid flow,and sedimentation,often struggle with the removal of fine inclusions.Apart from these known methods,pulsed electric current(PEC),as an emerging technology,has demonstrated immense potential and environmental advantages.PEC offers adjustable current parameters and simple equipment,making it an attractive alternative to traditional methods.Its green energy-saving features and excellent results in regulating inclusion morphology and migration,as well as inhibiting submerged entry nozzle(SEN)clogging,make it a promising technology.In comparison to continuous current technology,PEC has shown significant advantages in regulating inclusions,not only improving purification efficiency but also demonstrating outstanding performance in flow stability and energy consumption.The ability of PEC to efficiently reduce inclusion numbers enhances the purity and quality of molten steel,improving its mechanical properties.Currently,the theoretical basis for controlling the movement of inclusions by current is mainly composed of three major theories:the double electric layer theory,electromagnetic force reverse separation theory,and electric free energy drive theory.These theories together form an important framework for researchers to understand and optimize the behavior of impurity movement controlled by electric current.Looking ahead,PEC is expected to pave the way for new solutions in directional regulation of inclusion migration,efficient inclusion removal,SEN clogging prevention,and the purification of molten steel.

文摘Catalyst-aided regeneration is a promising method for reducing the high regeneration energy consumption of amine-based CO_(2)capture technologies.However,the intrinsic relationship between the properties of the acidic sites and their catalytic activity is controversial.In this study,a series of W-based catalysts supported by ZrTiO_(x)were synthesised,and the effects of the intensity,distribution,and type of acid sites were systematically investigated by quantitatively regulating the acidic site properties.The results indicate stronger acidic sites play a more important role in the catalytic reaction.Moreover,the catalysts showed excellent performance only if the Br?nsted acid sites(BASs)and Lewis acid sites(LASs)coexisted.During the catalytic reaction,the BASs facilitated deprotonation,and the LASs promoted the decomposition of carbamates.The ratio of BASs to LASs(B/L)was a critical factor for catalytic activity,wherein optimal performance was achieved when the B/L ratio was close to 1.The 10%HPW/ZrTiO_(x)composite performed better than WO_(3)/ZrTiO_(x)and HSiW/ZrTiO_(x)because it had a stronger acid intensity and a suitable B/L ratio.As a result,the relative heat duty was reduced by 47%compared to 30%aqueous MEA,and the maximum CO_(2)desorption rate was increased by 83%.The Bader charge indicated that the W atoms of HPW/ZrTiO_(x)lost more electrons(0.18)than those of WO_(3)/ZrTiO_(x),which can weaken the O±H bond energy.Consequently,the calculated deprotonation energy is as low as 257 kJ mol^(-1)for HPW/ZrTiO_(x).

文摘Nuclear factor Y is a ubiquitous heterotrimeric transcription factor complex conserved across eukaryotes that binds to CCAAT boxes,one of the most common motifs found in gene promoters and enhancers.Over the last 30 years,research has revealed that the nuclear factor Y complex controls many aspects of brain development,including differentiation,axon guidance,homeostasis,disease,and most recently regeneration.However,a complete understanding of transcriptional regulatory networks,including how the nuclear factor Y complex binds to specific CCAAT boxes to perform its function remains elusive.In this review,we explore the nuclear factor Y complex’s role and mode of action during brain development,as well as how genomic technologies may expand understanding of this key regulator of gene expression.
文摘Rheumatoid arthritis(RA)is a common chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint pain,swelling and dysfunction[1].According to epidemiologic statistics,the incidence of RA is 1%–2%,and in severe cases,it can develop into joint deformity and disability,which brings a heavy burden to the family and society[2].However,the pathogenesis of RA is complex and involves multiple cellular interactions,which increases the difficulty of curing RA.Current therapeutic options,such as disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs,non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,and biologics,still face the challenge of relapse after drug discontinuation[3,4].Therefore,the pathogenesis of RA needs to be analyzed in depth to break through the existing therapeutic bottlenecks and promote the iterative innovation of individualized diagnosis and treatment.

文摘Myeloblastosis(MYB)transcription factors(TFs)are evolutionarily conserved regulatory proteins that are crucial for plantgrowth,development,secondarymetabolism,andstress adaptation.Recent studieshavehighlighted their crucial role in coordinating growth–defense trade-offs through transcriptional regulation of key biosynthetic and stress-response genes.Despite extensive functional characterization in model plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana,systematically evaluating the broader functional landscape of MYB TFs across diverse species and contexts remains necessary.This systematic review integrates results from 24 peer-reviewed studies sourced from Scopus and Web of Science,focusing on the functional diversity of MYB TFs,particularly in relation to abiotic stress tolerance,metabolic regulation,and plant developmental processes.Advances in genomic technologies,such as transcriptomics,genome editing,and comparative phylogenetics,have considerably enhanced our understanding of MYB-mediated regulatory mechanisms.These tools have facilitated the identification and functional characterization of MYB genes across model and non-model plant species.Key findings underscore the multifaceted roles of MYB TFs in enhancing stress resilience,modulating anthocyanin and flavonoid biosynthesis,and contributing to yield-related traits,thereby highlighting their potential applications in crop improvement and sustainable agriculture.However,critical gaps exist in understanding MYB interactions within complex regulatory networks,particularly in underrepresented plant species and ecological contexts.This review consolidates current knowledge as well as identifies research gaps and proposes future directions to advance the understanding and application of MYB TFs.The insights derived from this study underscore their transformative potential in addressing global challenges including food security and climate resilience through innovative agricultural practices.
文摘In photothermal power(solar energy)generation systems,purging residual molten salt from pipelines using highpressure gas poses a significant challenge,particularly in clearing the bottom of regulating valves.Ineffective purging can lead to crystallization of the molten salt,resulting in blockages.To address this issue,understanding the gas-liquid two-phase flow dynamics during high-pressure gas purging is crucial.This study utilizes the Volume of Fluid(VOF)model and adaptive dynamic grids to simulate the gas-liquid two-phase flow during the purging process in a DN50 PN50 conventional molten salt regulating valve.Initially,the reliability of the CFD simulations is validated through comparisons with experimental data and findings from the literature.Subsequently,simulation experiments are conducted to analyze the effects of various factors,including purge flow rates,initial liquid accumulation masses,purge durations,and the profiles of the valve bottom flow channels.The results indicate that the purging process comprises four distinct stages:Initial violent surge stage,liquid discharge stage,liquid partial fallback stage,liquid dissipation stage.For an initial liquid height of 17 mm at the bottom of the valve,the critical purge flow rate lies between 3 and 5 m/s.Notably,the critical purge flow rate is independent of the initial liquid accumulation mass.As the purge gas flow rate increases,the volume of liquid discharged also increases.Beyond the critical purge flow rate,higher purge gas velocities lead to shorter purge durations.Interestingly,the residual liquid mass after purging remains unaffected by the initial liquid accumulation.Additionally,the flow channel profile at the bottom of the valve significantly influences both the critical purge speed and the efficiency of the purging process.
文摘In this study,a dynamic model for an inverted pendulum system(IPS)attached to a car is created,and two different control methods are applied to control the system.The designed control algorithms aim to stabilize the pendulum arms in the upright position and the car to reach the equilibrium position.Grey Wolf Optimization-based Linear Quadratic Regulator(GWO-LQR)and GWO-based Fuzzy LQR(FLQR)control algorithms are used in the control process.To improve the performance of the LQR and FLQR methods,the optimum values of the coefficients corresponding to the foot points of the membership functions are determined by the GWO algorithm.Both a graphic and a numerical analysis of the outcomes are provided.In the comparative analysis,it is observed that the GWO-based FLQR method reduces the settling time by 22.58% and the maximum peak value by 18.2% when evaluated in terms of the angular response of the pendulum arm.Furthermore,this approach outperformed comparable research in the literature with a settling time of 2.4 s.These findings demonstrate that the suggested GWO-based FLQR controlmethod outperforms existing literature in terms of the time required for the pendulum arm to reach equilibrium.

文摘Amid ongoing global environmental change and the critical pursuit of sustainable development,human-environment systems are exhibiting increasingly complex dynamic evolutions and spatial relationships,underscoring an urgent need for innovative research frameworks.Integrated geography synthesizes physical geography,human geography,and geographic information science,providing key frameworks for understanding complex human-environment systems.This editorial proposes an emerging research framework for integrated geography—“Composite driving-System evolution-Coupling mechanism-Synergistic regulation(CSCS)”—based on key issues such as climate change,biodiversity loss,resource scarcity,and social-ecological interactions,which have been highlighted in both recent critical literature on human-environment systems and UN assessment reports.The framework starts with diverse composite driving forces,extends to the evolution of human-environment system structures,processes,and functions that these drivers induce,explores couplings within human-environment systems,and calls for regulation aimed at sustainable development in synergies.Major research frontiers include understanding the cascading“evolution-coupling”effects of shocks;measuring system resilience,thresholds,and safe and just operating space boundaries;clarifying linkage mechanisms across scales;and achieving synergistic outcomes for multi-objective sustainability.This framework will help promote the interdisciplinary integration and development of integrated geography,and provide geographical solutions for the global sustainable development agenda.
