The data sets of biomass for each mouth(from April to November)of the 21 year period were analyzed in this paper. The botanical composition of aboveground biomass varied greatly with both season and year. The biomass ratio of improved herbage species to invaded native plants gradually decreased each year. This may have been owing to meteorological factors, such as low air-temperature in winter, dry and hot summers, grassland management(including grazing intensity and fertilizer application), and inter-specific competition between native and introduced herbage plants.展开更多

文摘Objective Recent studies have highlighted the critical role of NUDT19 in the initiation,progression,and prognosis of specific cancer types.However,its involvement in pan-cancer analysis has not been fully characterized.This study aims to systematically explore the expression patterns,clinical significance,and immune-related functions of NUDT19 in various cancer types through multi-omics analysis,further revealing its potential role in cancer,particularly its functional and therapeutic target value in leukemia.Methods To achieve this goal,various bioinformatics approaches were employed to evaluate the expression patterns,clinical significance,and immune-related functions of NUDT19 in tumors and normal tissues.Additionally,we analyzed the mutation characteristics of NUDT19 and its relationship with epigenetic modifications.Using the single-cell analysis tool SingleCellBase,we explored the distribution of NUDT19 across different cell subpopulations in tumors.To validate these findings,qRT-PCR was used to measure NUDT19 expression levels in specific tumor cell lines,and we established acute myeloid leukemia(AML)cell lines(HL-60 and THP-1)to conduct NUDT19 knockdown and overexpression experiments,assessing its effects on leukemia cell proliferation,apoptosis,and invasion.Results Pan-cancer analysis revealed the dysregulated expression of NUDT19 across multiple cancer types,which was closely associated with poor prognosis,clinical staging,and diagnostic markers.Furthermore,NUDT19 was significantly correlated with tumor biomarkers,immune-related genes,and immune cell infiltration in different cancers.Mutation analysis showed that multiple mutations in NUDT19 were significantly associated with epigenetic changes.Single-cell analysis revealed the heterogeneity of NUDT19 expression in cancer cells,suggesting its potentially diverse functional roles in different cell subpopulations.qRT-PCR experiments confirmed the significant upregulation of NUDT19 in various tumor cell lines.In AML cell lines,NUDT19 knockdown led to reduced cell proliferation and invasion,with increased apoptosis,while NUDT19 overexpression significantly enhanced cell proliferation and invasion while reducing apoptosis.Conclusion This study demonstrates the diverse roles of NUDT19 in various cancer types,with a particularly prominent functional role in leukemia.NUDT19 is not only associated with tumor initiation and progression but may also influence cancer progression through the regulation of immune microenvironment and epigenetic mechanisms.Our research highlights the potential of NUDT19 as a therapeutic target,particularly for targeted therapies in malignancies such as leukemia,with significant clinical application prospects.
文摘The WSC proteins produced by Penicillium expansum play a crucial role in causing blue mold on pears.To analyze the role of the WSC1 gene in the pathogenic process of this fungal pathogen,we conducted transcriptomic analysis of a WSC1 knockout(ΔWSC1)strain.The knockout of WSC1 significantly altered the gene expression profile in P.expansum,particularly for genes involved in cell wall integrity,signaling,stress response,and toxin production.The differential expression of these genes might make theΔWSC1 strain more vulnerable to environmental stress,while reducing the toxin production capacity,ultimately leading to a decrease in the pathogenicity.The transcriptomic analysis revealed that the expression of genes related to stress response signals,defense mechanisms and oxidative stress management changed when pear fruits were infected with theΔWSC1 strain.These changes may trigger a cascade of responses in pear fruits.In addition,compared with those infected with the wild-type strain,pear fruits infected with theΔWSC1 strain exhibited up-regulated expression of genes related to defense and oxidative stress.This study clarifies how the WSC1 gene influences P.expansum’s ability to infect pear fruits and how pear fruits respond to the infection.
文摘Restoration of phase aberrations is crucial for addressing atmospheric turbulence in light propagation.Traditional restoration algorithms based on Zernike polynomials(ZPs)often encounter challenges related to high computational complexity and insufficient capture of high-frequency phase aberration components,so we proposed a Principal-Component-Analysis-based method for representing phase aberrations.This paper discusses the factors influencing the accuracy of restoration,mainly including the sample space size and the sampling interval of D/r_(0),on the basis of characterizing phase aberrations by Principal Components(PCs).The experimental results show that a larger D/r_(0)sampling interval can ensure the generalization ability and robustness of the principal components in the case of a limited amount of original data,which can help to achieve high-precision deployment of the model in practical applications quickly.In the environment with relatively strong turbulence in the test set of D/r_(0)=24,the use of 34 terms of PCs can improve the corrected Strehl ratio(SR)from 0.007 to 0.1585,while the Strehl ratio of the light spot after restoration using 34 terms of ZPs is only 0.0215,demonstrating almost no correction effect.The results indicate that PCs can serve as a better alternative in representing and restoring the characteristics of atmospheric turbulence induced phase aberrations.These findings pave the way to use PCs of phase aberrations with fewer terms than traditional ZPs to achieve data dimensionality reduction,and offer a reference to accelerate and stabilize the model and deep learning based adaptive optics correction.

文摘In this paper,we develop a multi-scalar auxiliary variables(MSAV)scheme for the Cahn-Hilliard Magnetohydrodynamics system by introducing two scalar auxiliary variables(SAV).This scheme is linear,fully decoupled and unconditionally stable in energy.Subsequently,we provide a detailed implementation procedure for full decoupling.Thus,at each time step,only a series of linear differential equations with constant coefficients need to be solved.To validate the effectiveness of our approach,we conduct an error analysis for this first-order scheme.Finally,some numerical experiments are provided to verify the energy dissipation of the system and the convergence of the proposed approach.
文摘The aim of this study is to address the issues associated with traditional magnetorheological fluid(MRF)dampers,such as insufficient damping force after power failure and susceptibility to settlement.In order to achieve this,a bidirectional adjustable MRF damper was designed and developed.Magnetic field simulation analysis was conducted on the damper,along with simulation analysis on its dynamic characteristics.The dynamic characteristics were ultimately validated through experimental testing on the material testing machine,thereby corroborating the theoretical simulation results.Concurrently,this process generated valuable test data for subsequent implementation of the semi-active vibration control system.The simulation and test results demonstrate that the integrated permanent magnet effectively accomplishes bidirectional regulation.The magnetic induction intensity of the damping channel is 0.2 T in the absence of current,increases to 0.5 T when a maximum forward current of 4 A is applied,and becomes 0 T when a maximum reverse current of 3.8 A is applied.When the excitation amplitude is 8 mm and the frequency is 2 Hz,with the applied currents varying,the maximum damping force reaches 8 kN,while the minimum damping force measures at 511 N.Additionally,at zero current,the damping force stands at 2 kN,which aligns closely with simulation results.The present paper can serve as a valuable reference for the design and research of semi-active MRF dampers.
文摘Design a precision electroplating mechanical structure for automobiles based on finite element analysis method and analyze its mechanical properties.Taking the automobile steering knuckle as the research object,ABAQUS parametric modeling technology is used to construct its three-dimensional geometric model,and geometric simplification is carried out.Two surface treatment processes,HK-35 zinc nickel alloy electroplating and pure zinc electroplating,were designed,and the influence of different coatings on the mechanical properties of steering knuckles was compared and analyzed through numerical simulation.At the same time,standard specimens were prepared for salt spray corrosion testing and scratch method combined strength testing to verify the numerical simulation results.The results showed that under emergency braking and composite working conditions,the peak Von Mises stress of the zinc nickel alloy coating was 119.85 MPa,which was lower than that of the pure zinc coating and the alkaline electroplated zinc layer.Its equivalent strain value was 652×10^(-6),which was lower than that of the pure zinc coating and the alkaline electroplated zinc layer.Experimental data confirms that zinc nickel alloy coatings exhibit significant advantages in stress distribution uniformity,strain performance,and load-bearing capacity in high stress zones.The salt spray corrosion test further indicates that the coating has superior corrosion resistance and coating substrate interface bonding strength,which can significantly improve the mechanical stability and long-term reliability of automotive precision electroplating mechanical structures.

文摘3-Nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one(NTO)is a typical high-energy,low-sensitivity explosive,and accurate concentration monitoring is critical for crystallization process control.In this study,a high-precision quantitative analytical model for NTO concentration in ethanol solutions was developed by integrating real-time ATR-FTIR spectroscopy with chemometric and machine learning techniques.Dynamic spectral data were obtained by designing multi-concentration gradient heating-cooling cycle experiments,abnormal samples were eliminated using the isolation forest algorithm,and the effects of various preprocessing methods on model performance were systematically evaluated.The results show that partial least squares regression(PLSR)exhibits superior generalization ability compared to other models.Vibrational bands corresponding to C=O and–NO_(2)were identified as key predictors for concentration estimation.This work provides an efficient and reliable solution for real-time concentration monitoring during NTO crystallization and holds significant potential for process analytical applications in energetic material manufacturing.

文摘Sagittaria trifolia L.is a perennial aquatic herb that primarily reproduces clonally and through generative propagation.In recent years,S.trifolia has evolved a drastic resistance to acetohydroxy acid synthase(AHAS)-inhibiting herbicides in Northeast China.The phylogeographic patterns of S.trifolia with 31 purified resistance genotypes and five sensitive genotypes using chloroplast DNA(cpDNA)atpB-rbcL intergenic spacers were studied.Five haplotypes were characterized,and two of them were widely distributed in 36 genotypes.The dose response to bensulfuron-methyl showed that the GR50 ranged from 2.07 g a.i.·hm^(-2) to 220.15 g a.i.·hm^(-2).Sequencing of the AHAS gene indicated that 17 genotypes with the Pro197 mutation were distributed in haplotype 1,six genotypes with the Trp574 mutation were distributed in haplotype 3,and 13 genotypes with the wild AHAS gene were distributed in haplotypes 2,4 and 5.In the minimum-spanning network,the ancestral haplotypes 1 and 2 were widely distributed.Two primary clades were separated in the Bayes tree,and the result was consistent with the maximum likelihood tree.

文摘Based on the variation of discrete surface,a new grey relational analysis model,called the grey variation relational ana-lysis(GVRA)model,is proposed in this paper.Meanwhile,the proposed model avoids the inconsistent results caused by diffe-rent construction of discrete surface of panel data or the change in the order of indicators or objects in existing grey relational analysis models.Firstly,the submatrix of the sample matrix is given according to the permutation and combination theory.Secondly,the amplitude of the submatrix is calculated and the variation of discrete surface is obtained.Then,a grey relational coefficient is presented by variation difference,and the GVRA model is established.Furthermore,the properties of the pro-posed model,such as normality,symmetry,reflexivity,transla-tion invariant,and number multiplication invariant,are also veri-fied.Finally,the proposed model is used to identify the driving factors of haze in the cities along the Yellow River in Shandong Province,China.The result reveals that the proposed model can effectively measure the relationship between panel data.
文摘The swinging-loading process is essential for automatic artillery loading systems.This study focuses on the problems of reliability analysis that affect swinging-loading positioning accuracy.A dynamic model for a multi degree-of-freedom swinging-loading-integrated rigid-flexible coupling system is established.This model is based on the identification of key parameters and platform experiments.Based on the spatial geometric relationship between the breech and loader during modular charge transfer and the possible maximum interference depth of the modular charge,a new failure criterion for estimating the reliability of swinging-loading positioning accuracy is proposed.Considering the uncertainties in the operation of the pendulum loader,the direct probability integration method is introduced to analyze the reliability of the swinging-loading positioning accuracy under three different charge numbers.The results indicate that under two and four charges,the swinging-loading process shows outstanding reliability.However,an unstable stage appears when the swinging motion occurred under six charges,with a maximum positioning failure probability of 0.0712.A comparison between the results obtained under the conventional and proposed criteria further reveals the effectiveness and necessity of the proposed criterion.

文摘In wideband noncooperative interference cancellation,the reference signals obtained through auxiliary antennas are weighted to cancel with the interference signal.The correlation between the reference signal and the interference signal determines interference cancellation performance,while the auxiliary antenna array affects the correlation by influencing the amplitude and phase of the reference signals.This paper analyzes the effect of auxiliary antenna array on multiple performances of wideband noncooperative interference cancellation.Firstly,the array received signal model of wideband interference is established,and the weight vector coupled with the auxiliary antennas array manifold is solved by spectral analysis and eigen-subspace decomposition.Then,multiple performances which include cancellation resolution,grating null,wideband interference cancellation ratio(ICR),and convergence rate are quantitatively characterized with the auxiliary antenna array.It is obtained through analysis that the performances mutually restrict the auxiliary antenna array.Higher cancellation resolution requires larger array aperture,but when the number of auxiliary antennas is fixed,larger array aperture results in more grating nulls.When the auxiliary antennas are closer to the main antenna,the wideband ICR is improved,but the convergence rate is reduced.The conclusions are verified through simulation of one-dimensional uniform array and two-dimensional nonuniform array.The experiments of three arrays are compared,and the results conform well with simulation and support the theoretical analysis.

文摘To understand the specific behaviors of coastal coral sand slope foundations,discrete element method(DEM)was employed to examine the effect of breakable particle corners on the performance of coral sand slope foundations under a strip footing,from macro to micro scales.The results demonstrate that the bearing characteristics of coral sand slope foundations can be successfully modeled by utilizing breakable corner particles in simulations.The dual effects of interlocking and breakage of corners well explained the specific shallower load transmission and narrower shear stress zones in breakable corner particle slopes.Additionally,the study revealed the significant influence of breakable corners on soil behaviors on slopes.Furthermore,progressive corner breakage within slip bands was successfully identified as the underling mechanism in determining the unique bearing characteristics and the distinct failure patterns of breakable corner particle slopes.This study provides a new perspective to clarify the behaviors of slope foundations composed of breakable corner particle materials.
