In the present study, an intersimple sequence repeat （ISSR）-PCR technique was applied for developing SSR markers in non-heading Chinese cabbage （Brassica rapa）. A total of 190 SSRs were obtained. Among these, AG or CT （54.7%） was the most frequent repeat, followed by AC or GT （31.6%） of the microsatellites. The average number of the SSRs length array was 16 and 10 times, respectively. Based on the determined SSR sequences, 143 SSR primer pairs were designed to evaluate their transferabilities among the related species of Brassica. The number of alleles produced per marker averaged 2.91, and the polymorphism information content （PIC） value ranged from 0 to 0.863 with an average of 0.540. Monomorphism was observed in 16 primer pairs. The transferability percentage in CC genome was higher than in BB genome. More loci occurred in the BBCC genome. This result supported the hypothesis that BB genome was divergent from A and C genomes, and AA and CC genomes were relatively close. The polymorphic primers can be exploited for further evolution, fingerprinting, and variety identification.展开更多

Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are useful DNA markers in plant genetic research including in peanut. However, de novo development of SSRs is expensive and time consuming. Gene-based DNA markers are transferable among related species owing to the conserved nature of genes. In this study transferability of sorghum EST-SSR (SbEST-SSR) markers to peanut was prospected. A set of 411 SbEST-SSR primer pairs were used to amplify peanut genomic DNA extracted from cultivated peanut where 39% of them successfully amplified. A comparison of amplification patterns between sorghum and peanut showed similar banding pattern with majority of transferable SbEST-SSRs. Among these transferable SSR markers, 14% have detected polymorphism among 4 resistant and 4 susceptible peanut lines for rust and late leaf spot diseases. These transferable markers will benefit peanut genome research by not only providing additional DNA markers for population genetic analyses, but also allowing comparative mapping to be possible between peanut and sorghum—a possible monocot-dicot comparison.展开更多

One hundred and twenty-six single nucleotide polymorphisms （SNPs） were identified from these loci, giving a frequency of 1 SNP per 51 bp. Nucleotide di- versity （0） ranged from 1.06 × 10^-3 to 11.87 × 10^-3, with all average of 4.99 × 10^-3. Only one locus （mK45） deviated significantly from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Thirteen of 14 loci were applicable in other pine species. These loci will be useful for nucleotide variation studies and will provide material for SNP-based marker development in P. thun- bergii and related species.展开更多

Under global warming, the simulation of glacier mass balance at the regional scale has attracted increasing interests. This study selects Urumqi Glacier No. 1 as the testbed for examining the transferability in space and time of two commonly used glacier mass balance simulation models: i.e., the Degree-Day Model(DDM) and the simplified Energy Balance Model(s EBM). Four experiments were carried out for assessing both models’ temporal and spatial transferability. The results show that the spatial transferability of both the DDM and s EBM is strong, whereas the temporal transferability of the DDM is relatively weak. For all four experiments, the overall simulation effect of the s EBM is better than that of the DDM. At the zone around Equilibrium Line Altitude(ELA), the DDM performed better than the s EBM.Also, the accuracy of parameters, including the lapse rate of air temperature and vertical gradient of precipitation at the glacier surface, is of great significance for improving the spatial transferability of both models.展开更多

Transferability of five nuclear microsatellite markers (Jc-16, Jc-31, Jc-32, Jc-35 and Jc-37) that were originally developed for J. communis was tested to J. procera.

Jc-31 & Jc-37 showed successful amplifications and polymorphism in J. procera. Jc-35 which had been reported as polymorphic in J. communis was monomorphic in J. procera while the primer pair for Jc-32 failed to record any amplification. The remaining one primer pair (Jc-16) showed double loci ampli-fication in both J. procera and the control J. communis suggesting further examination of the primer pair and its binding sites. Genetic variation of six Ethiopian J. procera populations: Chilimo, Goba, Menagesha-Suba, Wef-Washa, Yabelo and Ziquala was assessed based on the two polymorphic loci (Jc-31 & Jc-37) in 20 - 24 individuals of each population. From these two loci, a total of 41 alleles could be retrieved. Two populations that are located south east of the Great Rift Valley together harboured 75% of private alleles signifying their deviant geo-ecological zones and suggesting special consideration for conservation. Chilimo, which is at the western margin of Juniper habitat in Ethiopian central highlands scored the highest fixation (FIS = 0.584) entailing lower immigrant genes and hence higher inbreeding. The AMOVA revealed that 97% of the variation resided within the?population while still among population variation was significant展开更多

A plethora of methodologies were developed based on this concept, and transition metal-catalysis plays a central role among others catalysis systems own to its longstanding history. While a chemodivergent reaction based on organo-catalysis, especially photocatalysis, is rather limited as these concepts were only prevalent in the last two decades. With the ever-increasing importance of photocatalysis, a chemodivergent reaction based on such an activation pathway would be a meaningful direction. Herein, an efficient chemodivergent strategy for visible light photocatalysis is developed. By employing commercially available Rose Bengal as a photocatalyst, naturally occurring Viridicatin and its derivatives can be transformed into three different types of products through switchable single electron transfer (SET) or energy transfer (EnT) processes. Mechanistic studies have revealed that the oxygen as a reactive center, rather than carbon, is favored, which accounts for the first example of a C–O homo-dimerization product.展开更多

文摘The current adversarial attacks against deep learning models have achieved incredible success in the white-box scenario.However,they often exhibit weak transferability in the black-box scenario,especially when attacking those with defense mechanisms.In this work,we propose a new transfer-based blackbox attack called the channel decomposition attack method(CDAM).It can attack multiple black-box models by enhancing the transferability of the adversarial examples.On the one hand,it tunes the gradient and stabilizes the update direction by decomposing the channels of the input example and calculating the aggregate gradient.On the other hand,it helps to escape from local optima by initializing the data point with random noise.Besides,it could combine with other transfer-based attacks flexibly.Extensive experiments on the standard ImageNet dataset show that our method could significantly improve the transferability of adversarial attacks.Compared with the state-of-the-art method,our approach improves the average success rate from 88.2%to 96.6%when attacking three adversarially trained black-box models,demonstrating the remaining shortcomings of existing deep learning models.

文摘Transferability of five nuclear microsatellite markers (Jc-16, Jc-31, Jc-32, Jc-35 and Jc-37) that were originally developed for J. communis was tested to J. procera. Jc-31 & Jc-37 showed successful amplifications and polymorphism in J. procera. Jc-35 which had been reported as polymorphic in J. communis was monomorphic in J. procera while the primer pair for Jc-32 failed to record any amplification. The remaining one primer pair (Jc-16) showed double loci ampli-fication in both J. procera and the control J. communis suggesting further examination of the primer pair and its binding sites. Genetic variation of six Ethiopian J. procera populations: Chilimo, Goba, Menagesha-Suba, Wef-Washa, Yabelo and Ziquala was assessed based on the two polymorphic loci (Jc-31 & Jc-37) in 20 - 24 individuals of each population. From these two loci, a total of 41 alleles could be retrieved. Two populations that are located south east of the Great Rift Valley together harboured 75% of private alleles signifying their deviant geo-ecological zones and suggesting special consideration for conservation. Chilimo, which is at the western margin of Juniper habitat in Ethiopian central highlands scored the highest fixation (FIS = 0.584) entailing lower immigrant genes and hence higher inbreeding. The AMOVA revealed that 97% of the variation resided within the?population while still among population variation was significant

文摘The rapid development of foundation potentials(FPs)in machine learning interatomic potentials demonstrates the possibility for generalizable learning of the universal potential energy surface.The accuracy of FPs can be further improved by bridging the model from lower-fidelity datasets to highfidelity ones.In this work,we analyze the challenge of this transfer learning(TL)problem within the CHGNet framework.We show that significant energy scale shifts and poor correlations between GGA and r^(2)SCAN hinder cross-functional transferability.By benchmarking different TL approaches on the MP-r^(2)SCAN dataset,we demonstrate the importance of elemental energy referencing in the TL of FPs.By comparing the scaling law with and without the pre-training on a low-fidelity dataset,we show that significant data efficiency can still be achieved through TL,even with a target dataset of sub-million structures.We highlight the importance of proper TL and multi-fidelity learning in creating nextgeneration FPs on high-fidelity data.

文摘Leaf spectroscopy,combined with partial least squares regression(PLSR),is recognized as an efficient and precise tool for measuring plant leaf traits.However,the feasibility of developing a generalizable model remains unclear,primarily due to limited understanding of PLSR model transferability.Here,we collected six key leaf traits along with paired leaf reflectance spectra from 1967 samples of 349 tree species in eight forest sites across China.Using this dataset,we explored the transferability of PLSR models,factors affecting model transferability,and the feasibility of developing generalizable PLSR models for leaf trait prediction.Overall,PLSR models trained at a specific study site demonstrate limited transferability to other study sites.Dissimilarities in plant evolutionary history and environmental conditions between study sites are the primary factors influencing the transferability of PLSR models.Incorporating training data from diverse evolutionary histories and environmental conditions can improve the transferability of PLSR models,achieving accuracy equivalent to that of site-specific models.Our findings provide guidelines for the use of spectroscopy in leaf trait prediction and underscore the urgent need for collaborative efforts to build an open database of leaf traits and reflectance spectra,thereby promoting the development of universal PLSR models for plant leaf trait prediction.
文摘Safety performance functions(SPFs),or crash-prediction models,have played an important role in identifying the factors contributing to crashes,predicting crash counts and identifying hotspots.Since a great deal of time and effort is needed to estimate an SPF,previous studies have sought to determine the transferability of particular SPFs;that is,the extent to which they can be applied to data from other regions.Although many efforts have been made to examine micro-level SPF transferability,few studies have focused on macro-level SPF transferability.There has been little transferability analysis of macro-level SPFs in the international context,especially between western countries.This study therefore evaluates the transferability of SPFs for several states in the USA(Illinois,Florida and Colorado)and for Italy.The SPFs were developed using data from counties in the United States and provincias in Italy,and the results revealed multiple common significant variables between the two countries.Transferability indexes were then calculated between the SPFs.These showed that the Italy SPFs for total crashes and bicycle crashes were transferable to US data after calibration factors were applied,whereas the US SPFs for total and bicycle crashes,with the exception of the Colorado SPF,could not be transferred to the Italian data.On the other hand,none of the pedestrian SPFs developed was transferable to other countries.This paper provides insights into the applicability of macro-level SPFs between the USA and Italy,and shows a good potential for international SPF transferability.Nevertheless,further investigation is needed of SPF transferability between a wider range of countries.

文摘Fluorescent probes based on intramolecular charge transfer(ICT) have obvious advantages for accurate quantitative analysis.To obtain high-performance ratiometric probes requires distinct photophysical properties during recognition reaction process,which is closely related to their ICT characteristics.1,8-Naphthalimide is known as a typical fluorophore with desirable ICT property when functionalized with an electron-donating moiety at the para-position of the naphthalene chromophore.Although the photophysical properties of para-substituted 1,8-naphthalimide have been well studied,its meta-substituted counterpart has not been fully evaluated since the meta-position is conventionally thought to be weakly conjugated.Herein,combined experimental and theoretical studies are performed which consistently indicate that stronger charge transfer(CT) is exhibited by the meta-amino substituted 1,8-naphthalimide(m-NH_(2)) compared to the para-amino substituted one(p-NH_(2)).The ratiometric response of fluorescence with significant changes in wavelength and intensity upon acetylation(m-NAc and p-NAc) can be attributed to the larger ICT and stronger-NH_(2) vibrations.This observation is further demonstrated by deuterium oxide experiments,viscosity experiments and quantum chemical calculations.The practical application of meta-amino-1,8-naphthalimide ICT-based probes is also confirmed.This research is expected to bring an in-depth understanding of π-conjugated systems with ICT characteristics,and facilitates the design of sensitive ICT fluorescent probes with meta-amino substitution.

文摘It is of great significance to study the indicators of university patents’transferability for improving the efficiency of the University Technology Transfer Office and promoting university patent transfer.Based on the in-depth analysis of the existing research,this paper finds that patent quality is the inherent decisive factor of patent transferability.Combining with the evaluation indexes of patent quality and the bibliometrics characteristics of university patents,9 indicators are proposed to indicate the transferability of university patents.Based on the patent transfer data of 35 Chinese universities,this paper analyzes and verifies the potential indicators of patent transfer using the binary logistic regression method.The results show that the number of inventors and the number of non-patent document citations positively predict the transferability of university patents,while the examination duration negatively predicts transferability.The effects of other indicators on transferability need to be discussed considering the actual situation and specific technology fields.
文摘High-performance deep-blue emitters that meet the BT.2020 standard proposed by the International Telecommunication Union(ITU)for organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs)remain highly limited.In this work,four deep-blue emitters,PP1M,PP2M,PP3M,and PP4M,are designed and synthesized by connecting methylsubstituted biphenyl groups with classical hot exciton building block of phenanthreneimidazole.The introduction of methyl groups contributes to increase the molecular torsion angle and widen the energy gaps for the four compounds.Through appropriate modulation of substitution site,PP3M achieves the highest photoluminescence quantum yield of 85.3%in neat film.As a result,the PP3M-based device exhibits deep-blue light with external quantum efficiency of 7.2%and suppressed efficiency roll-off.The device also shows a small full width at half maximum of 53 nm and the CIE coordinates locate at(0.16,0.04),meeting well with the BT.2020 standard.The high exciton utilization efficiency is primarily ascribed to the hot exciton pathway.This study provides a reliable insight for the design of efficient deep-blue OLEDs with high color purity.
文摘In this work,five kinds of crystals were successfully synthesized using the Czochralski method for the first time,namely Dy∶Ca_(3)Li_(0.275)Nb_(1.775)Ga_(2.95)O_(12)(CLNGG),Dy,Tb∶CLNGG,Dy,Eu∶CLNGG,Tb∶CLNGG,and Eu∶CLNGG.A detailed investigation of spectral features and energy transfer mechanisms in such crystals was conducted by analyzing their optical absorption spectra,excitation and emission spectra,and fluorescence decay curves at ambient tem-perature.Calculations based on the Judd-Ofelt theory further elucidated these features.The results demonstrate that in the Dy^(3+)system,co-doping with Tb^(3+)and Eu^(3+)ions not only enhances the emission cross-sections in the yellow wavelength re-gion but also improves the fluorescence quantum efficiency.These improvements are particularly beneficial for achieving efficient yellow light output from Dy^(3+).Additionally,the studies confirm the occurrence of reciprocal energy transfer be-tween Dy^(3+)and Tb^(3+)ions in Dy,Tb∶CLNGG crystals,whereas unidirectional energy transfer from Dy^(3+)to Eu^(3+)occurs in Dy,Eu∶CLNGG crystals.Based on the obtained research results,Dy,Tb∶CLNGG and Dy,Eu∶CLNGG crystals could be utilized as compelling and potential laser media for diode-pumped all-solid-state yellow lasers.

文摘This study examined the influence of spatial resolution on model parameterization,output,and the parameter transferability between different resolutions using the Storm Water Management Model.High-resolution models,in which most subcatchrnents were homogeneous,and high-resolution-based low-resolution models (in 3 scenarios)were constructed for a highly urbanized catchment in Beijing.The results indicated that the parameterization and simulation results were affected by both spatial resolution and rainfall characteristics.The simulated peak inflow and total runoff volume were sensitive to the spatial resolution,but did not show a consistent tendency.High-resolution models performed very well for both calibration and validation events in terms of three indexes:1)the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency, 2)the peak flow error,and 3)the volume error;indication of the advantage of using these models.The parameters obtained from high-resolution models could be directly used in the low-resolution models and performed well in the simulation of heavy rain and torrential rain and in the study area where sub-area routing is insignificant.Alternatively,sub-area routing should be considered and estimated approximately.The successful scale conversion from high spatial resolution to low spatial resolution is of great significance for the hydrological simulation of ungauged large areas.

文摘A chemodivergent reaction is an appealing way to construct molecules with enriched structure diversity in a controlled manner. A plethora of methodologies were developed based on this concept, and transition metal-catalysis plays a central role among others catalysis systems own to its longstanding history. While a chemodivergent reaction based on organo-catalysis, especially photocatalysis, is rather limited as these concepts were only prevalent in the last two decades. With the ever-increasing importance of photocatalysis, a chemodivergent reaction based on such an activation pathway would be a meaningful direction. Herein, an efficient chemodivergent strategy for visible light photocatalysis is developed. By employing commercially available Rose Bengal as a photocatalyst, naturally occurring Viridicatin and its derivatives can be transformed into three different types of products through switchable single electron transfer (SET) or energy transfer (EnT) processes. Mechanistic studies have revealed that the oxygen as a reactive center, rather than carbon, is favored, which accounts for the first example of a C–O homo-dimerization product.

文摘This study investigates catalytic tar cracking over semi-coke catalysts,addressing reaction kinetics challenges by integrating experimental data with a COMSOL Multiphysics model.A multi-physics framework combines catalysis,carbon deposition,and self-consumption to analyze toluene(tar model compound)removal.The model evaluates intrinsic catalytic activity,porosity evolution,and porous media flow,revealing that toluene conversion is governed by diffusion/convective mass transfer,homogeneous reactions,and surface reactions influenced by dynamic carbon deposition/removal.Increasing temperature from 973 to 1173 K enhances gas-film heat and mass transfer coefficient,accelerating tar cracking rates and extending catalyst lifetime.Elevated temperatures improve gas-solid phase heat/mass transfer,promoting efficient tar removal during syngas purification.The results highlight the interplay between reaction kinetics,carbon deposition dynamics,and transport phenomena in optimizing semi-coke catalyst performance under high-temperature conditions.
