To understand the lake evolution process, the hydro-chemical characteristics of Lake Qinghai were investigated in August of 2008. The results show that Na<sup>+</sup> and Cl<sup>-</sup> are the dominant cations and anions in the lake water, respectively, and hydrochemistry type is Cl<sup>-</sup>- Na<sup>+</sup> with an obvious characteristic of a saline lake. The Gibbs plot illuminates that evaporation/crystallization is responsible for the chemical composition of the lake water. The variation in hydro-chemical regime might be attributed to the reduced lake levels between 1960s and 2000s. The lake level significantly correlated with the precipitation and evaporation in the Lake Qinghai catchment. In addition, changes of the lake level in the future are simulated according to climate warming scenarios from the IPCC report. The simulated results suggest that the lake level could rise again in the following decades due to the increased precipitation under the climate warming conditions, which is already a trend in the lake level observation data.展开更多

Clinically, they manifest as limb and respiratory muscle weakness. Critical illness polyneuropathy/myopathy in isolation or combination increases intensive care unit morbidity via the inability or difficulty in weaning these patients off mechanical ventilation. Many patients continue to suffer from decreased exercise capacity and compromised quality of life for months to years after the acute event. Substantial progress has been made lately in the understanding of the pathophysiology of critical illness polyneuropathy and myopathy. Clinical and ancillary test results should be carefully interpreted to differentiate critical illness polyneuropathy/myopathy from similar weaknesses in this patient population. The present review is aimed at providing the latest knowledge concerning the pathophysiology of critical illness polyneuropathy/myopathy along with relevant clinical, diagnostic, differentiating, and treatment information for this debilitat- ing neurological disease.展开更多

In this work, DBD plasma was used to synthesize a nitrogen‐vacancy‐doped g‐C3N4 catalyst in situ for the first time. X‐ray diffraction, N2 adsorption, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectrosco‐py, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, O2 tempera‐ture‐programmed desorption, and photoluminescence were used to characterize the obtained cat‐alysts. The photocatalytic H2O2 production ability of the as‐prepared catalyst was investigated. The results show that plasma treatment influences the morphology, structure, and optical properties of the as‐prepared catalyst. Nitrogen vacancies are active centers, which can adsorb reactant oxygen molecules, trap photoelectrons, and promote the transfer of photoelectrons from the catalyst to the adsorbed oxygen molecules for the subsequent reduction reaction. This work provides a new strat‐egy for synthesizing g‐C3N4‐based catalysts.展开更多

The proposed pathogenesis of TNF-α associated neuropathies involves immune-mediated attack to blood-nerve barrier, aggravated production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and the induction of Schwann cells apoptosis. TNF-α may play a regulatory role by increasing production of interleukin-1 in macrophages, attenuating T cell receptor signaling and regulating apoptosis of potentially autoreactive T cells in EAN. The data suggest that antagonizing TNF-α functions or suppressing TNF-α production may be useful in the acute phase of EAN treatment, but further studies are required.展开更多

The model can deal with the uncertainties in electric power system and reflect the vague and ambiguous during the process of power load forecasting through allowing uncertainties expressed as fuzzy parameters and discrete intervals. The developed model is applied to predict the electric power demand of Beijing from 2011 to 2019. Different satisfaction degrees of fuzzy parameters are considered as different levels of detail of the statistic data. The results indicate that the model can reflect the high uncertainty of long term power demand, which could support the programming and management of power system. The fuzzy probability Markov chain model is helpful for regional electricity power system managers in not only predicting a long term power load under uncertainty but also providing a basis for making multi-scenarios power generation/development plans.展开更多

文摘The distributed flexible job shop scheduling problem(DFJSP)has attracted great attention with the growth of the global manufacturing industry.General DFJSP research only considers machine constraints and ignores worker constraints.As one critical factor of production,effective utilization of worker resources can increase productivity.Meanwhile,energy consumption is a growing concern due to the increasingly serious environmental issues.Therefore,the distributed flexible job shop scheduling problem with dual resource constraints(DFJSP-DRC)for minimizing makespan and total energy consumption is studied in this paper.To solve the problem,we present a multi-objective mathematical model for DFJSP-DRC and propose a Q-learning-based multi-objective grey wolf optimizer(Q-MOGWO).In Q-MOGWO,high-quality initial solutions are generated by a hybrid initialization strategy,and an improved active decoding strategy is designed to obtain the scheduling schemes.To further enhance the local search capability and expand the solution space,two wolf predation strategies and three critical factory neighborhood structures based on Q-learning are proposed.These strategies and structures enable Q-MOGWO to explore the solution space more efficiently and thus find better Pareto solutions.The effectiveness of Q-MOGWO in addressing DFJSP-DRC is verified through comparison with four algorithms using 45 instances.The results reveal that Q-MOGWO outperforms comparison algorithms in terms of solution quality.

文摘The aging timescale of particles is a key parameter in determining their impacts on air quality,human health,and climate.In this study,a one-year simulation of the age distributions of the primary and secondary inorganic fine particulate matter(PM_(2.5))components was conducted over China using an age-resolved Community Multiscale Air Quality(CMAQ)model.The results indicate that primary PM_(2.5)(PPM)and ammonium mainly originate from fresh local emissions,with approximately 60%-80%concentrated in 0-24 h age bins in most of China throughout the year.The average age is about15-25 h in most regions in summer,but increases to 40-50 h in southern region of China and the Sichuan Basin(SCB)in winter.Sulfate is more aged than PPM,indicating an enhanced contribution from regional transport.Aged sulfate with atmospheric age>48 h account for 30%-50%of total sulfate in most regions and seasons,and the concentrations in the>96 h age bin can reach up to 15μg·m-3 in SCB during winter.Dramatic seasonal variations occur in the Yangtze River Delta,Pearl River Delta,and SCB,with highest average age of 60-70 h in winter and lowest of 40-45 h in summer.The average age of nitrate is 20-30 h in summer and increases to 40-50 h in winter.The enhanced deposition rate of nitric acid vapor combined with the faster chemical reaction rate of nitrogen oxides leads to a lower atmospheric age in summer.Additionally,on pollution days,the contributions of old age bins(>24 h)increase notably for both PPM and secondary inorganic aerosols in most cities and seasons,suggesting that regional transport plays a vital role during haze events.The age information of PM_(2.5),provided by the age-resolved CMAQ model,can help policymakers design effective emergent emission control measures to eliminate severe haze episodes.

文摘The yield of rice is mostly affected by three factors,namely,panicle number,grain number and grain weight.Variation in panicle and grain numbers is mainly caused by tiller and panicle branches generated from axillary meristems(AMs).MOC1 encodes a putative GRAS family nuclear protein that regulates AM formation.Although several alleles of MOC1 have been identified,its variation in germplasm resources remains unclear.In the present study we characterized a novel mocl allele named gnp6 which has a thymine insertion in the coding sequence of the SAW motif in the GRAS domain.This mutation causes arrested branch formation.The SAW motif is necessary for nuclear localization of GNP6/MOC1 where it functions as a transcription factor or co-regulator.Haplotype analysis showed that the coding region of GNP6/MOC1 was conserved without any non-synonymous mutations in 240 rice accessions.However,variation in the promoter region might affect the expression of it and its downstream genes.Joint haplotype analysis of GNP6/MOC1 and MOC3 showed that haplotype combinations H9,H10 and H11,namely MOC1-Hap1 in combination with MOC3-Hap3,MOC3-Hap4 or MOC3-Hap5 could be bred to promote branch formation.These findings will enrich the genetic resources available for rice breeders.

文摘Cell voltage is a widely used signal that can be measured online from an industrial aluminum electrolysis cell.A variety of parameters for the analysis and control of industrial cells are calculated using the cell voltage.In this paper,the frequency segmentation of cell voltage is used as the basis for designing filters to obtain these parameters.Based on the qualitative analysis of the cell voltage,the sub-band instantaneous energy spectrum(SIEP)is first proposed,which is then used to quantitatively represent the characteristics of the designated frequency bands of the cell voltage under various cell conditions.Ultimately,a cell condition-sensitive frequency segmentation method is given.The proposed frequency segmentation method divides the effective frequency band into the[0,0.001]Hz band of lowfrequency signals and the[0.001,0.050]Hz band of low-frequency noise,and subdivides the lowfrequency noise into the[0.001,0.010]Hz band of metal pad abnormal rolling and the[0.01,0.05]Hz band of sub-low-frequency noise.Compared with the instantaneous energy spectrum based on empirical mode decomposition,the SIEP more finely represents the law of energy change with time in any designated frequency band within the effective frequency band of the cell voltage.The proposed frequency segmentation method is more sensitive to cell condition changes and can obtain more elaborate details of online cell condition information,thus providing a more reliable and accurate online basis for cell condition monitoring and control decisions.
文摘Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN) as well as Guillain-Barre syndrome. The proposed pathogenesis of TNF-α associated neuropathies involves immune-mediated attack to blood-nerve barrier, aggravated production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and the induction of Schwann cells apoptosis. TNF-α may play a regulatory role by increasing production of interleukin-1 in macrophages, attenuating T cell receptor signaling and regulating apoptosis of potentially autoreactive T cells in EAN. The data suggest that antagonizing TNF-α functions or suppressing TNF-α production may be useful in the acute phase of EAN treatment, but further studies are required.
文摘The Gangdese magmatic belt,located along the southern margin of the Lhasa terrane,plays a critical role in understanding the tectonic framework associated with the Indian-Asian slab collision.In this paper,a chronology of zircon U-Pb and geochemical analysis of the rock of the Cuobulaguo granitic mass in the southern of the Gangdese,Tibet,revealed a series of results.The results show that the LA-ICP-MS monzonitic granite zircon U-Pb ages are 61-59 Ma,which corresponds to the same period as the magmatic arc of the southern limit of Gangdese.In terms of geochemical composition,the granite is rich inω(SiO2)70.09%to 72.64%,with a highω(Al2O3)14.40%to 15.99%,a lowω(TiO2)0.08%to 0.24%,ω(MgO)0.41%to 0.76%,ω(Fe2O)6.82%to 29.9%,ω(P2Os)0.07%to 0.12%,andω(CaO)1.06%to 1.75%.The granite mainly belongs to the high-K calc-alkaline series.The light rare earth element(LREE)content of skeletal granite is between 133.69×10^-6〜226.64×10^-6 and the heavy rare earth element(HREE)content is between 17.36×10^-6 and 32.11×10^-6.LREE/HREE is between 5.05 and 7.83.It is enriched in light rare earth elements(LREE)and large ion lithophile elements,such as Rb,K,U,etc.,depletes high field strength elements,such as P,Nb,and Ta,and has the geochemical composition of arc magmatic rocks.In addition,the aluminum saturation index(A/CNK=1.06 to 1.11)of Cuobulaguo granite,belongs toⅠ-type granite.The comprehensive analysis showed that with the beginning of the collision between the Indian-Asian continental,the subduction ocean plate was separated from the continental plate due to gravity,resulting in an increase in the asthenosphere,which made partial fusion of the lithospheric mantle.It invaded the bottom of the lower crust,which in turn induced a partial melting of the lower crust to form granite.
文摘In this study, a fuzzy probability-based Markov chain model is developed for forecasting regional long-term electric power demand. The model can deal with the uncertainties in electric power system and reflect the vague and ambiguous during the process of power load forecasting through allowing uncertainties expressed as fuzzy parameters and discrete intervals. The developed model is applied to predict the electric power demand of Beijing from 2011 to 2019. Different satisfaction degrees of fuzzy parameters are considered as different levels of detail of the statistic data. The results indicate that the model can reflect the high uncertainty of long term power demand, which could support the programming and management of power system. The fuzzy probability Markov chain model is helpful for regional electricity power system managers in not only predicting a long term power load under uncertainty but also providing a basis for making multi-scenarios power generation/development plans.
文摘Neuroimmunology is an interdisciplinary branch of biomedical science that emerges from the intersection of studies on the nervous system and the immune system.The complex interplay between the two systems has long been recognized.Research efforts directed at the underlying functional interface and associated pathophysiology,however,have garnered attention only in recent decades.In this narrative review,we highlight significant advances in research on neuroimmune interplay and modulation.A particular focus is on early-and middle-career neuroimmunologists in China and their achievements in frontier areas of"neuroimmune interface","neuro-endocrine-immune network and modulation","neuroimmune interactions in diseases","meningeal lymphatic and glymphatic systems in health and disease",and"tools and methodologies in neuroimmunology research".Key scientific questions and future directions for potential breakthroughs in neuroimmunology research are proposed.
