A redundant subspace weighting procedure for clock ensemble

A redundant-subspace-weighting(RSW)-based approach is proposed to enhance the frequency stability on a time scale of a clock ensemble.In this method,multiple overlapping subspaces are constructed in the clock ensemble,and the weight of each clock in this ensemble is defined by using the spatial covariance matrix.The superimposition average of covariances in different subspaces reduces the correlations between clocks in the same laboratory to some extent.After optimizing the parameters of this weighting procedure,the frequency stabilities of virtual clock ensembles are significantly improved in most cases.

Outstanding Lithium Storage Performance of a Copper-Coordinated Metal-Covalent Organic Framework as Anode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Metal-covalent organic frameworks(MCOF)as a bridge between covalent organic framework(COF)and metal organic framework(MOF)possess the characteristics of open metal sites,structure stability,crystallinity,tunability as well as porosity,but still in its infancy.In this work,a covalent organic framework DT-COF with a keto-enamine structure synthesized from the condensation of 3,3'-dihydroxybiphenyl diamine(DHBD)and triformylphloroglucinol(TFP)was coordinated with Cu^(2+)by a simple post-modification method to a obtain a copper-coordinated metal-covalent organic framework of Cu-DT COF.The isomerization from a keto-enamine structure of DT-COF to a enol-imine structure of Cu-DT COF is induced due to the coordination interaction of Cu^(2+).The structure change of Cu-DT COF induces the change of the electron distribution in the Cu-DT COF,which greatly promotes the activation and deep Li-storage behavior of the COF skeleton.As anode material for lithium-ion batteries(LIBs),Cu-DT COF exhibits greatly improved electrochemical performance,retaining the specific capacities of 760 mAh g^(-1)after 200 cycles and 505 mAh g^(-1)after 500 cycles at a current density of 0.5 A g^(-1).The preliminary lithium storage mechanism studies indicate that Cu^(2+)is also involved in the lithium storage process.A possible mechanism for Cu-DT COF was proposed on the basis of FT-IR,XPS,EPR characterization and electrochemical analysis.This work enlightens a novel strategy to improve the energy storage performance of COF and promotes the application of COF and MCOF in LIBs.

A large carbon pool in lake sediments over the arid/semiarid region, NW China

Carbon burial in lake sediments is an important component of the global carbon cycle. However, little is known about the magnitude of carbon sequestered in lake sediments over the arid/semiarid region of China(ASAC).In this study, we estimate both organic and inorganic carbon burial since *AD 1800 based on nine lakes in ASAC,and discuss the most plausible factors controlling carbon burial. Our estimates show that the annual organic carbon burial rate(OCBR) ranges from 5.3 to 129.8 g cm-2year-1(weighted mean of 49.9 g cm-2year-1), leading to a standing stock of 1.1–24.0 kg cm-2(weighted mean of 8.6 kg cm-2)and a regional sum of *108 Tg organic carbon sequestered since *AD 1800. The annual inorganic carbon burial rate(ICBR) ranges from 11.4 to 124.0 g cm-2year-1(weighted mean of 48.3 g cm-2year-1), which is slightly lower than OCBR. The inorganic carbon standing stock ranges from2.4 to 26.0 kg cm-2(weighted mean of 8.1 kg cm-2),resulting in a sum of *101 Tg regional inorganic carbon burial since *AD 1800, which is slightly lower than the organic carbon sequestration. OCBR in ASAC shows a continuously increasing trend since *AD 1950, which is possibly due to the high autochthonous and allochthonous primary production and subsequently high sedimentation rate in the lakes. This increasing carbon burial is possibly related to both climatic changes and enhanced anthropogenic activities, such as land use change, deforestation, and eutrophication in the lake. Furthermore, OCBR and ICBR are expected to continuously increase under the scenario of increasing precipitation and runoff and enhanced anthropogenic activities.The results of this research show that the buried carbon in lake sediments of the ASAC region constitutes a significant and large carbon pool, which should be considered and integrated into the global carbon cycle.

Surgical approaches for stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis:feasibility of complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) thymectomy in comparison with trans-sternal resection

Complete resection could be achieved in virtually all myasthenic patients with Masaoka stage I and II thymoma us- ing the trans-sternal technique. Whether this is appropriate for minimally invasive approach is not yet clear. We evalu- ated the feasibility of complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery （VATS） thymectomy for the treatment of Ma- saoka stage I and Ⅱ thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis, compared to conventional trans-sternal thymectomy. We summarized 33 patients with Masaoka stage I and II thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis between April 2006 and September 2011. Of these, 15 patients underwent right-sided complete VATS （the VATS group） by us- ing adjuvant pneuomomediastinum, comparing with 18 patients using the trans-sternal approach （the T3b group）. No intraoperative death was found and no VATS case required conversion to median sternotomy. Significant differences between the two groups regarding duration of surgery and volume of intraoperative blood loss （P = 0.001 and P 〈 0.001, respectively） were observed. Postoperative morbidities were 26.7% and 33.3% for the VATS and T3b groups, respectively. All 33 patients were followed up for 12 to 61 months in the study. The cumulative probabilities of reaching complete stable remission and effective rate were 26.7% （4/15） and 93.3% （14/15） in the VATS group, which had a significantly higher complete stable remission and effective rate than those in the T3b group （P = 0.026 and P = 0.000, respectively）. We conclude that VATS thymectomy utilizing adjuvant pneuomo- mediastinum for the treatment of stage I and II thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis is technically feasible but deserves further investigation in a large series with long-term follow-up.

Experimental study on operative methods of pancreaticojejunostomy with reference to anastomotic patency and postoperative pancreatic exocrine function

AIM:To assess the patency of pancreaticoenterostomy and pancreatic exocrine function after three surgical methods. METHODS: A pig model of pancreatic ductal dilation was made by ligating the main pancreatic duct. After 4 wk ligation, a total of 36 piglets were divided randomly into four groups. The piglets in the control group underwent laparotomy only; the others were treated by three anastomoses: (1) end-to-end pancreaticojejunostomy invagination (EEPJ); (2) end-to-side duct-to- mucosa sutured anastomosis (ESPJ); or (3) binding pancreaticojejunostomy (BPJ). Anastomotic patency was assessed after 8 wk by body weight gain, intrapancreatic ductal pressure, pancreatic exocrine function secretin test, pancreatography, and macroscopic and histologic features of the anastomotic site. RESULTS: The EEPJ group had significantly slower weight gain than the ESPJ and BPJ groups on postoperative weeks 6 and 8 (P < 0.05). The animals in both the ESPJ and BPJ groups had a similar body weight gain.Intrapancreatic ductal pressure was similar in ESPJ and BPJ. However, pressure in EEPJ was significantly higher than that in ESPJ and BPJ (P < 0.05). All three functional parameters, the secretory volume, the flow rate of pancreatic juice, and bicarbonate concentration, were significantly higher in ESPJ and BPJ as compared to EEPJ (P < 0.05). However, the three parameters were similar in ESPJ and BPJ. Pancreatography performed after EEPJ revealed dilation and meandering of the main pancreatic duct, and the anastomotic site exhibited a variable degree of occlusion, and even blockage. Pancreatography of ESPJ and BPJ, however, showed normal ductal patency. Histopathology showed that the intestinal mucosa had fused with that of the pancreatic duct, with a gradual and continuous change from one to the other. For EEPJ, the portion of the pancreatic stump protruding into the jejunal lumen was largely replaced by cicatricial fibrous tissue. CONCLUSION: A mucosa-to-mucosa pancreatico- jejunostomy is the best choice for anastomotic patency when compared with EEPJ. BPJ can effectively maintain anastomotic patency and preserve pancreatic exocrine function as well as ESPJ.

MEK/ERK signaling pathway in apoptosis of SW620 cell line and inhibition effect of resveratrol

Objective:To study the involvement of MAPK MEK/ERK signaling transduction pathway in the apoptosis process of SW620 tumor cell line and the inhibition effect of resveratrol.Methods:SW620 cell lines were divided into 5 groups,namely,control group.PD98059 group,low-dose resveratrol group,mid-dose resveratrol group and high-dose resveratrol group.The inhibition rate of cell proliferation was detected by MTT method.The expression of apoptotic molecules and MEK/ERK signaling pathway related proteins were assayed by realtime PCR and Western blotting.Results:Compared with control group,the proliferation of cells treated with resveratrol was significantly inhibited.In the case of apoptotic molecules,the expression of Bax,Caspase 3 and Caspase 9 was increased significantly while the expression of anti-apoptotic molecule Bcl2 was decreased significantly in resveratrol groups with a dosedependent manner.In the case of molecules in MEK/ERK signaling pathway,the expression of Ras,Raf,MEK and ERKl/2 was decreased significantly in resveratrol groups with a dose-dependent manner.Conclusions:PD98059 and resveratrol can effectively inhibit the proliferation of SW620 through inhibiting the MEK/ERK signaling pathway.

Regulating the Solvation Structure of Li^(+) Enables Chemical Prelithiation of Silicon-Based Anodes Toward High-Energy Lithium-Ion Batteries

The solvation structure of Li^(+) in chemical prelithiation reagent plays a key role in improving the low initial Coulombic efficiency(ICE) and poor cycle performance of silicon-based materials. Never theless, the chemical prelithiation agent is difficult to dope active Li^(+) in silicon-based anodes because of their low working voltage and sluggish Li^(+) diffusion rate. By selecting the lithium–arene complex reagent with 4-methylbiphenyl as an anion ligand and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran as a solvent, the as-prepared micro-sized Si O/C anode can achieve an ICE of nearly 100%. Interestingly, the best prelithium efficiency does not correspond to the lowest redox half-potential(E_(1/2)), and the prelithiation efficiency is determined by the specific influencing factors(E_(1/2), Li^(+) concentration, desolvation energy, and ion diffusion path). In addition, molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that the ideal prelithiation efficiency can be achieved by choosing appropriate anion ligand and solvent to regulate the solvation structure of Li^(+). Furthermore, the positive effect of prelithiation on cycle performance has been verified by using an in-situ electrochemical dilatometry and solid electrolyte interphase film characterizations.

Effects of temperature and nutrients on phytoplankton biomass during bloom seasons in Taihu Lake

Long-term variations of phytoplankton chlorophyll-a （Chl-a）, nutrients, and suspended solids （SS） in Taihu Lake, a large shallow freshwater lake in China, during algal bloom seasons from May to August were analyzed using the monthly investigated data from 1999 to 2007. The effective accumulated water temperature （EAWT） in months from March to June was calculated with daily monitoring data from the Taihu Laboratory for Lake Ecosystem Research （TLLER）. The concentrations of Chl-a and nutrients significantly decreased from Meiliang Bay to Central Lake. Annual averages of the total nitrogen （TN）, total phosphorus （TP）, and Chl-a concentrations, and EAWT generally increased in the nine years. In Meiliang Bay, the concentration of Chl-a was significantly correlated with EAWT, ammonia nitrogen （NH4＋N）, TN, the soluble reactive phosphorus （SRP）, TP, and SS. In Central Lake, however, the concentration of Chl-a was only correlated with EAWT, TP, and SS. Multiple stepwise linear regression revealed that EAWT, dissolved total phosphorus （DTP）, and TP explained 99.2% of the variation of Chl-a in Meiliang Bay, and that EAWT, NH4＋-N, and TP explained 98.7% of the variation of Chl-a in Central Lake. Thus EAWT is an important factor influencing the annual change of phytoplankton biomass. Extreme climate change, such as extremely hot springs or cold springs, could cause very different bloom intensities in different years. It is also suggested that both nutrients and EAWT played important roles in the growth of phytoplankton in Taihu Lake. The climate factors and nutrients dually controlled the risk of harmful algal blooms in Taihu Lake. Cutting down phosphorus and nitrogen loadings from catchments should be a fundamental strategy to reduce the risk of blooms in Taihu Lake.

Microscopic removal of type Ⅲ dens invaginatus and preparation of apical barrier with mineral trioxide aggregate in a maxillary lateral incisor:A case report and review of literature

BACKGROUND Invaginated teeth pose greater challenges in clinical management because of their complex configuration.With advancements in equipment and materials,such as the dental operation microscope,cone-beam computed tomography and mineral trioxide aggregate,the preservation rate of type Ⅲ dens invaginatus could be greatly increased.CASE SUMMARY This case report presented a 31-year-old woman with complaints of spontaneous swelling and pain in the right maxillary lateral tooth.With the aid of cone-beam computed tomography,type Ⅲ dens invaginatus with apical periodontitis was diagnosed and confirmed.Three-visit endodontic treatment was performed.In the first visit,the invagination was carefully removed under the dental operation microscope,and chemomechanical preparation was done.In the second visit,mineral trioxide aggregate apical barrier surgery was performed in this tooth.In the third visit,the canal was finally obturated with thermoplastic gutta-percha to recover the crown morphology.A 26-mo follow-up revealed a satisfied outcome both in the radiographic and oral examinations.CONCLUSION In this case,removal of the entire abnormal structure provided great convenience for the follow-up treatment.When confronted with the same clinical case in the future,we can take a similar approach to address it.

Mesh-like vertical structures enable both high areal capacity and excellent rate capability

In order to balance electrochemical kinetics with loading level for achieving efficient energy storage with high areal capacity and good rate capability simultaneously for wearable electronics,herein,2 D meshlike vertical structures(NiCo_2 S_4@Ni(OH)_2) with a high mass loading of 2.17 mg cm^(-2) and combined merits of both 1 D nanowires and 2 D nanosheets are designed for fabricating flexible hybrid supercapacitors.Particularly,the seamlessly interconnected NiCo_2 S_4 core not only provides high capacity of 287.5 μAh cm^(-2) but also functions as conductive skeleton for fast electron transport;Ni(OH)_2 sheath occupying the voids in NiCo_2 S_4 meshes contributes extra capacity of 248.4 μAh cm^(-2);the holey features guarantee rapid ion diffusion along and across NiCO_2 S_4@Ni(OH)_2 meshes.The resultant flexible electrode exhibits a high areal capacity of 535.9 μAh cm^(-2)(246.9 mAh g^(-1)) at 3 mA cm^(-2) and outstanding rate performance with 84.7% retention at 30 mA cm^(-2),suggesting efficient utilization of both NiCo_2 S_4 and Ni(OH)_2 with specific capacities approaching to their theoretical values.The flexible solid-state hybrid device based on NiCo_2 S_4@Ni(OH)_2 cathode and Fe_2 O_3 anode delivers a high energy density of 315 μWh cm^(-2) at the power density of 2.14 mW cm^(-2) with excellent electrochemical cycling stability.

Choriocarcinoma-associated pulmonary thromboembolism and pulmonary hypertension： a case report

Cases of pulmonary embolism and pulmonary artery hypertension caused by choriocarcinoma represent a rare clinical emergency. We report a case of a 25-year-old woman who presented with pulmonary embolism and hyper- tension and died soon after complete pulmonary embolectomy. A related literature review revealed that almost all of these patients had previously experienced a spontaneous abortion （average, 6 months） and were not pregnant.

Spectral energy distribution similarity of the local galaxies and the 3.6μm selected galaxies from the Spitzer Extended Deep Survey

The Spitzer Extended Deep Survey(SEDS)as a deep and wide mid-infrared(MIR)survey project provides a sample of 500000+sources spreading 1.46 square degree and a depth of 26 AB mag(3σ).Combining with the previous available data,we build a PSF-matched multi-wavelength photometry catalog from u band to 8μm.We fit the SEDS galaxies spectral energy distributions by the local galaxy templates.The results show that the SEDS galaxy can be fitted well,indicating the high redshift galaxy(z~1)shares the same templates with the local galaxies.This study would facilitate the further study of the galaxy luminosity and high redshift mass function.

FUV and NIR size of the HI selected low surface brightness galaxies

How low surface brightness galaxies(LSBGs)form stars and assemble stellar mass is one of the most important questions related to understanding the LSBG population.We select a sample of 381 HI bright LSBGs with both far ultraviolet(FUV)and near infrared(NIR)observations to investigate the star formation rate(SFR)and stellar mass scales,and the growth mode.We measure the FUV and NIR radii of our sample,which represent the star-forming and stellar mass distribution scales respectively.We also compare the FUV and H band radius-stellar mass relation with archival data,to identify the SFR and stellar mass structure difference between the LSBG population and other galaxies.Since galaxy HI mass has a tight correlation with the HI radius,we can also compare the HI and FUV radii to understand the distribution of HI gas and star formation activities.Our results show that most of the HI selected LSBGs have extended star formation structure.The stellar mass distribution of LSBGs may have a similar structure to disk galaxies at the same stellar mass bins,but the star-forming activity of LSBGs happens at a larger radius than the high surface density galaxies,which may help to identify the LSBG sample from the wide-field deep u band image survey.The HI is also distributed at larger radii,implying a steeper(or not)Kennicutt-Schmidt relation for LSBGs.

Biogenic silica contents of Lake Qinghai sediments and its environmental significance

Changes in the levels ofbiogenic silica （BSi%） in lake sediments have been widely used in order to study lake productivity and palaeoclimatic changes. However, the provenance of biogenic silica （BSi） needs to be investigated for each lake, especially for large lakes, as does the relationship between levels of BSi and relevant environmental factors. In this study, we measured the percentage of BSi contained in lake sediments, river sediments, and surface soils within the Lake Qinghai catchment, and compared the quantities and shapes of diatoms and phytoliths before and after the extraction processes. The results suggest that BSi in lake sediments is primarily derived from endogenous diatoms; therefore, BSi levels can be used to reflect the changes in primary productivity within the lake. Further comparisons showed that on long-term timescales, the variations in BSi% are generally consistent with those in total organic carbon （TOC） and grain size, reflecting the dominant impacts of precipitation on primary productivity in Lake Qinghai. On short-term timescales, however, the relationship between BSi% and TOC and that between BSi% and grain size are not clear or stable. For example, BSi% sometimes covaried with grain size, but it was sometimes out of phase with or even inversely related to grain size. We speculate that both climate and environmental processes, such as the dilution effect, influence short-term BSi% and its related environmental significance. As a result, BSi% should be used selectively as an indicator of climatic changes on different time scales.

Mechanisms of tigecycline resistance in Gram-negative bacteria:A narrative review

Tigecycline serves as a critical“final-resort”antibiotic for treating bacterial infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria for which treatment options are severely limited.The increasing prevalence of tigecycline resistance,particularly among Gram-negative bacteria,is a major concern.Various mechanisms have been iden-tified as contributors to tigecycline resistance,including upregulation of nonspecific Resistance Nodulation Divi-sion(RND)efflux pumps due to mutations in transcriptional regulators,enzymatic modification of tigecycline by monooxygenase enzymes,and mutations affecting tigecycline binding sites.This review aims to consolidate our understanding of tigecycline resistance mechanisms in Gram-negative bacteria and offer insights and perspectives for further drug development.

Why Lake Taihu continues to be plagued with cyanobacterial blooms through 10 years(2007–2017) efforts

With the expansion of urban, industry, and agriculture after World War II, eutrophication firstly emerged as a major water quality threat in small water bodies [1]. As the increasing magnitudes and scales of nutrient pollution and habitat alteration, many of the world's large lakes exhibit symptoms of eutrophication, e.g., toxic cyanobacterial blooms, deoxygenation, and habitat loss.

Megadrought and cultural exchange along the proto-silk road

Arid Central Asia(ACA), with its diverse landscapes of high mountains, oases, and deserts, hosted the central routes of the Silk Roads that linked trade centers from East Asia to the eastern Mediterranean.Ecological pockets and ecoclines in ACA are largely determined by local precipitation. However, little research has gone into the effects of hydroclimatic changes on trans-Eurasian cultural exchange. Here,we reconstruct precipitation changes in ACA, covering the mid-late Holocene with a U-Th dated, ~3 a resolution, multi-proxy time series of replicated stalagmites from the southeastern Fergana Valley,Kyrgyzstan. Our data reveal a 640-a megadrought between 5820 and 5180 a BP, which likely impacted cultural development in ACA and impeded the expansion of cultural traits along oasis routes. Instead,it may have diverted the earliest transcontinental exchange along the Eurasian steppe during the 5 th millennium BP. With gradually increasing precipitation after the megadrought, settlement of peoples in the oases and river valleys may have facilitated the opening of the oasis routes, ‘‘prehistoric Silk Roads", of trans-Eurasian exchange. By the 4 th millennium BP, this process may have reshaped cultures across the two continents, laying the foundation for the organized Silk Roads.

Coarsening behavior of（Ni,Co）2Si particles in Cu-Ni-Co-Si alloy during aging treatment

The coarsening behavior of(Ni,Co)2Si particles in Cu-Ni-Co-Si alloy was investigated by experimental observations and coarsening kinetics calculations when aged at 450,500,550 and 600℃ for different durations.The results show that the critical particle radius for coherence mismatch is found to be 10.3 nm,and particles larger than 25 nm are generally semi-coherent.The relationship of(Ni,Co)2Si particles size and aging time follows Lifshitz,Slyosov and Wagner(LSW) theory.The particle size distributions fit well to the LSW theoretical distribution.The activation energy for(Ni,Co)2Si coarsening is accurately determined to be(216.21 ± 5.18)kJ mol-1 when considering the effect of temperature on the solution concentrations in matrix.The coarsening of(Ni,Co)2Si particles in Cu-Ni-Co-Si alloy is controlled by diffusion of Ni,Co and Si in Cu matrix.The growth of particles for long durations suggests that vacancies can be trapped within the structure for long time despite their mobility.
