Plant growth is greatly affected by drought stress, and plants, to survive,adapt to this stress by invoking different pathways. Piriformospora indica, a root-colonizing endophytic fungus of Sebacinales, promotes plant growth and confers resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, including drought stress, by affecting the physiological properties of the host plant. The fungus strongly colonizes the roots of maize(Zea mays L.) and promotes shoot and root growth under both normal growth conditions and drought stress. We used polyethylene glycol(PEG-6000) to mimic drought stress and found that root fresh and dry weight, leaf area, SPAD value, and leaf number were increased in P. indica-colonized plants.The antioxidative activities of catalases and superoxide dismutases were upregulated within 24h in the leaves of P. indica-colonized plants. Drought-related genes DREB2A, CBL1,ANAC072, and RD29A were upregulated in drought-stressed leaves of P. indica-colonized plants. Furthermore, after drought treatment, proline content increased, whereas accumulation of malondialdehyde(MDA), an indicator of membrane damage, decreased in P. indica-colonized maize. We conclude that P. indica-mediated plant protection against the detrimental effects of drought may result from enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity,proline accumulation, and expression of drought-related genes and lower membrane damage in maize plants.展开更多

Fraser–Suzuki function was applied to deconvoluting overlapping complex processes from the overall differential thermal curves obtained under the linear heating rate conditions, followed by the kinetic analysis of the discrete processes using a new kinetic analysis method. Results showed that the decomposition of n-BCo C in air occurred through two consecutive reactions in the 136-270 ℃ temperature intervals. Decomposition started by hydroxide component（Co（OH）2） decomposition until to 65% and simultaneously carbonate phase decarbonation began. The process was continued by CO2 evolution and finally carbonate cobalt nanosheets have been produced. The reaction mechanism of the whole process can be kinetically characterized by two successive reactions： a phase boundary contracting reaction followed by an Avrami-Erofeev equation. Mechanistic information obtained by the kinetic study was in good agreement with FT-IR（Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy） and SEM（scanning electron microscopy） results.展开更多

The microstructures of a Cu-Cr alloy cast in a water-cooled copper mold were studied in the present work. The scanning electron microscopy （SEM） results show that there are the copper matrix saturated with chromium, spherical precipitates of chromium separated from liquid phase during cooling before the initiation of so- lidification, and a eutectic phase in grain boundary areas. To investigate the effect of age-hardening treatment on the microstructures and properties of the material, some samples were subsequently age-hardened in a salt bath and investigated by transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The results show that coherent precipitates with the diameter of 11 nm are detectable in the samples before and after the age-hardening stage. Of course, the volume fraction of coherent precipitates is higher after the aging process.展开更多

文摘Coal wall stability is a critical factor influencing coal mining efficiency and threatens the safety of working faces,where irregular coal wall surfaces significantly affect the contact and support effectiveness of the support plate,thereby impacting stability.Through a combination of theoretical analysis,mechanical testing,and numerical simulations,this study establishes a mechanical model of irregular coal wall surfaces to investigate the effects of the undulation period and undulation height on coal wall failure characteristics.This research reveals the mechanical response mechanisms of irregular coal wall surfaces and proposes an innovative method to enhance coal wall stability by improving the supporting cushion material of the support plate,which was validated through numerical simulations.The results show that the undulation height and undulation period significantly influence the macroscopic mechanical parameters of the samples,with the undulation height exerting a more pronounced effect.The strength of the samples with undulating surfaces is approximately 50%-60% that of the samples with flat surfaces.The failure mode under uniaxial compression is predominantly tensile,resulting in long and slender block fragments with a characteristic“Ⅲ”-shaped tensile fracture pattern.During the loading process,samples with undu-lating surfaces dissipate energy at all stages,with a greater proportion of energy dissipation occurring during the early loading stage because of structural damage and the formation of internal cracks.The surface compressive and tensile stresses are correlated with the curvature radius of the convex surface and the elastic modulus of the supporting plate.Reducing the elastic modulus of the supporting plate material can effectively alleviate the stress concentration at convex locations and increase the peak strength.This study provides theoretical foundations and technical references for the prevention and control of coal wall spalling in deep thick coal seam mining.

文摘Automated classification of retinal fundus images is essential for identifying eye diseases,though there is earlier research on applying deep learning models designed especially for detecting tessellation in retinal fundus images.This study classifies 4 classes of retinal fundus images with 3 diseased fundus images and 1 normal fundus image,by creating a refined VGG16 model to categorize fundus pictures into tessellated,normal,myopia,and choroidal neovascularization groups.The approach utilizes a VGG16 architecture that has been altered with unique fully connected layers and regularization using dropouts,along with data augmentation techniques(rotation,flip,and rescale)on a dataset of 302 photos.Training involves class weighting and critical callbacks(early halting,learning rate reduction,checkpointing)to maximize performance.Gains in accuracy(93.42%training,77.5%validation)and improved class-specific F1 scores are attained.Grad-CAM’s Explainable AI(XAI)highlights areas of the images that are important for each categorization,making it interpretable for better understanding of medical experts.These results highlight the model’s potential as a helpful diagnostic tool in ophthalmology,providing a clear and practical method for the early identification and categorization of retinal disorders,especially in cases such as tessellated fundus images.

文摘Drought stress is one of the most severe environmental constraints to plant growth and crop productivity. Plant growth is greatly affected by drought stress, and plants, to survive,adapt to this stress by invoking different pathways. Piriformospora indica, a root-colonizing endophytic fungus of Sebacinales, promotes plant growth and confers resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, including drought stress, by affecting the physiological properties of the host plant. The fungus strongly colonizes the roots of maize(Zea mays L.) and promotes shoot and root growth under both normal growth conditions and drought stress. We used polyethylene glycol(PEG-6000) to mimic drought stress and found that root fresh and dry weight, leaf area, SPAD value, and leaf number were increased in P. indica-colonized plants.The antioxidative activities of catalases and superoxide dismutases were upregulated within 24h in the leaves of P. indica-colonized plants. Drought-related genes DREB2A, CBL1,ANAC072, and RD29A were upregulated in drought-stressed leaves of P. indica-colonized plants. Furthermore, after drought treatment, proline content increased, whereas accumulation of malondialdehyde(MDA), an indicator of membrane damage, decreased in P. indica-colonized maize. We conclude that P. indica-mediated plant protection against the detrimental effects of drought may result from enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity,proline accumulation, and expression of drought-related genes and lower membrane damage in maize plants.

文摘In order to obtain optimized flight vehicle concepts which meet system of systems （SOS） operation requirements, designers have to pay high attention to the impact of SoS at conceptual design stage since operation environment goes increasingly complex. Based on this tendency, per- spectives and progre,;ses of SoS oriented flight vehicle conceptual design, which is abbreviate as SoSed design, are reviewed in this paper. Such basic concepts of SoS as definition, characteristics, differences between systems engineering and SoS engineering, as well as SoSed design process are introduced, then SoS engineering process model for research and development of flight vehicles and SoSed design wheel model for conceptual design are proposed. Related literature is classified and analyzed in accordance with four major elements including requirements, design concept, design analysis, and trade studies and optimization： typical SoS architectures, description and quan- tization of indexes are introduced; Application of inverse design in designing concept is analyzed; Modeling and simulation （M＆S）-based methods and their applications in SoSed effectiveness evaluation are highlighted; According to SoSed trade studies and optimization related research, the importance of such points as decision-making and using multidisciplinary design optimization for reference are emphasized. Finally, the value of SoSed design is concluded, and five directions which are worthy of .attention in this field are presented.
文摘Estimation of the rock mass modulus of deformation(Em)is one of the most important design parameters in designing many structures in and on rock.This parameter can be obtained by in situ tests,empirical relations between deformation modulus and rock mass classifcation,and estimating from laboratory tests results.In this paper,a back analysis calculation is performed to present an equation for estimation of the rock mass modulus of deformation using genetic programming(GP)and numerical modeling.A database of 40,960 datasets,including vertical stress(rz),horizontal to vertical stresses ratio(k),Poisson’s ratio(m),radius of circular tunnel(r)and wall displacement of circular tunnel on the horizontal diameter(d)for input parameters and modulus of deformation for output,was established.The selected parameters are easy to determine and rock mass modulus of deformation can be obtained from instrumentation data of any size circular galleries.The resulting RMSE of 0.86 and correlation coeffcient of97%of the proposed equation demonstrated the capability of the computer program(CP)generated by GP.
文摘The nanocrystalline Fe-Ni-Cr coatings were electrodeposited by using the pulse current technique.The SEM results showed that the coatings had a mixed morphology of small nodules and fine cauliflower structures at low current densities.Also,the Cr content was increased at expense of Fe and Ni contents at high current densities.XRD patterns confirmed that the pulse current density had a positive effect on the grain refinement.The results of vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM)measurements demonstrated that by increasing the current density,the saturation magnetization was decreased and the coercivity was increased due to the enhancement of Cr content and the reduction of the grain size.The friction coefficient and wear rate values were decreased by increasing the pulse current density.Also,both the adhesive and abrasive wear mechanisms were observed on the worn surfaces.The abrasive grooves and the amount of wear debris were decreased by increasing the pulse current density.

文摘Understanding the characteristics of drawing body shape is essential for optimization of drawing parameters in longwall top coal caving mining.In this study,both physical experiments and theoretical analysis are employed to investigate these characteristics and derive a theoretical equation for the drawing body shape along the working face in an inclined seam.By analyzing the initial positions of drawn marked particles,the characteristics of the drawing body shape for different seam dip angles are obtained.It is shown that the drawing body of the top coal exhibits a shape-difference and volume-symmetry characteristic,on taking a vertical line through the center of support opening as the axis of symmetry,the shapes of the drawing body on the two sides of this axis are clearly different,but their volumes are equal.By establishing theoretical models of the drawing body in the initial drawing stage and the normal drawing stage,a theoretical equation for the drawing body in an inclined seam is proposed,which can accurately describe the characteristics of the drawing body shape.The shape characteristics and volume symmetry of the drawing body are further analyzed by comparing the results of theoretical calculations and numerical simulations.It is shown that one side of the drawing body is divided into two parts by an inflection point,with the lower part being a variation development area.This variation development area increases gradually with increasing seam dip angle,resulting in an asymmetry of the drawing body shape.However,the volume symmetry coefficient fluctuates around 1 for all values of the seam dip angle variation,and the volumes of the drawing body on the two sides are more or less equal as the variation development volume is more or less equal to the cut volume.Both theoretical calculations and numerical simulations confirm that the drawing body of the top coal exhibits the shape-difference and volume-symmetry characteristic.

文摘Objective Calcium Glucarate (Cag), Ca salt of D-glucaric acid is a naturally occurring non-toxic compound present in fruits, vegetables and seeds of some plants, and suppress tumor growth in different models. Due to lack of knowledge about its mode of action its uses are limited in cancer chemotherapy thus the objective of the study was to study the mechanism of action of Cag on mouse skin tumorigenesis. Methods We have estimated effect of Cag on DMBA induced mouse skin tumor development following complete carcinogenesis protocol. We measured, epidermal transglutaminase activity (TG), a marker of cell differentiation after DMBA and/or Cag treatment and [3H] thymidine incorporation into DNA as a marker for cell proliferation. Results Topical application of Cag suppressed the DMBA induced mouse skin tumor development. Topical application of Cag significantly modifies the critical events of proliferation and differentiation TG activity was found to be reduced after DMBA treatment. Reduction of the TG activ
文摘Hydrogen adsorption characteristics of woodceramics,made from radiata pine wood fiber boards carbonized at 1 473 K after impregnation with phenolic resin,with and without chemical treatment in an alkaline(KOH) or an acid(H 2 SO 4) solution were investigated The hydrogen adsorption capacity is improved by chemical treatment.The chemical treatment by KOH improves the adsorption capacity more than by H 2 SO 4.The improvement of the capacity level,in any solution,is dependent on the type of chemical in the solution and its concentration.The maximum hydrogen capacity measured at 93 K is mass fraction about w(H) = 2% for the woodceramics after chemical treatment in a volume fraction = 50% KOH solution,although that is about w(H) = 0.7% for one without chemical treatment.The microscopic condition of pores in the woodceramics is thought to vary after chemical treatment.

文摘A new non-isothermal method of kinetic analysis was employed to investigate the thermal decomposition kinetic modeling of the basic carbonate cobalt nanosheets（n-BCoC） synthesized from spent lithium-ion batteries（LIBs）. Fraser–Suzuki function was applied to deconvoluting overlapping complex processes from the overall differential thermal curves obtained under the linear heating rate conditions, followed by the kinetic analysis of the discrete processes using a new kinetic analysis method. Results showed that the decomposition of n-BCo C in air occurred through two consecutive reactions in the 136-270 ℃ temperature intervals. Decomposition started by hydroxide component（Co（OH）2） decomposition until to 65% and simultaneously carbonate phase decarbonation began. The process was continued by CO2 evolution and finally carbonate cobalt nanosheets have been produced. The reaction mechanism of the whole process can be kinetically characterized by two successive reactions： a phase boundary contracting reaction followed by an Avrami-Erofeev equation. Mechanistic information obtained by the kinetic study was in good agreement with FT-IR（Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy） and SEM（scanning electron microscopy） results.
文摘Microstructures have profound effects on the hardness and strength of Cu-Cr alloys. The microstructures of a Cu-Cr alloy cast in a water-cooled copper mold were studied in the present work. The scanning electron microscopy （SEM） results show that there are the copper matrix saturated with chromium, spherical precipitates of chromium separated from liquid phase during cooling before the initiation of so- lidification, and a eutectic phase in grain boundary areas. To investigate the effect of age-hardening treatment on the microstructures and properties of the material, some samples were subsequently age-hardened in a salt bath and investigated by transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The results show that coherent precipitates with the diameter of 11 nm are detectable in the samples before and after the age-hardening stage. Of course, the volume fraction of coherent precipitates is higher after the aging process.
