The suitability assessment on site selection for bottom seeding scallop culture based on analytic hierarchy process

Scallop culture is an important way of bottom-seeding marine ranching,which is of great significance to improve the current situation of fishery resources.However,there are some problems in site-selection evaluation of marine ranching,such as imperfect criteria system,complex structure,untargeted criteria quantification,etc.In addition,no site-selection evaluation method of bottom-seeding culture areas for scallops is available.Therefore,we established a hierarchy structure model according to the analytic hierarchy process(AHP)theory,in which social,physical,chemical,and biological environments are used as main criteria,and marine functional zonation,water depth,current,water temperature,salinity,substrate type,water quality,sediment quality,red tide,phytoplankton,and zooplankton are used as sub-criteria,on which a multi-parameter evaluation system is set up.Meanwhile,the dualism method,assignment method,and membership function method were used to quantify sub-criteria,and a quantitative evaluation for the entire criteria was added,including the evaluation and analysis of two types of unsuitable environmental situations.By overall consideration in scallop yield,quality,and marine ranching construction objectives,the weight of the main criteria could be determined.Five grades in the suitability corresponding to the evaluation result were divided,and the Python language was used to create an evaluation system for efficient calculation and intuitive presentation of the evaluation outcome.Eight marine cases were simulated based on existing survey data,and the results prove that the method is feasible for evaluating and analyzing the site selection of bottom-seeding culture areas for scallops under various environmental situations.The proposed evaluation method can be promoted for the site selection of bottom-seeding marine ranching.This study provided theoretical and methodological references for the site selection evaluation of other types of marine ranching.

Analysis of Seed Phenotypic and Metabolic Characteristics of Diploid and Tetraploid Tartary Buckwheat

Polyploid plants grow well,are stress tolerant,and are rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds.Thus,they are useful for improving crop quality and yield.In this study,we compared the seed characteristics and metabolite profiles of diploid and tetraploid tartary buckwheat,which was developed via an artificially induced chromosome doubling event.The length,width,area,and thousand-grain weight were greater for the tetraploid seeds than for the diploid seeds.However,the germination rate decreased for the tetraploid seeds.Additionally,there was a gap between the shell and kernel of the tetraploid seeds.Moreover,the water absorption rate was higher for the tetraploid than for the diploid seeds.Chromosome doubling increased the seed total flavonoid content and deepened the seed color.A principal component analysis of the ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry data revealed the clear separation between the diploid and tetraploid samples.An orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis and other multivariate statistical analyses identified 83 differentially abundant compounds,with most of the flavonoid metabolites more abundant in the tetraploid than in the diploid seeds.Research on tartary buckwheat polyploidy may result in enhanced germplasm resources and may clarify the mechanism underlying the biosynthesis of bioactive compounds.

A Deformable Network with Attention Mechanism for Retinal Vessel Segmentation

The intensive application of deep learning in medical image processing has facilitated the advancement of automatic retinal vessel segmentation research.To overcome the limitation that traditional U-shaped vessel segmentation networks fail to extract features in fundus image sufficiently,we propose a novel network(DSeU-net)based on deformable convolution and squeeze excitation residual module.The deformable convolution is utilized to dynamically adjust the receptive field for the feature extraction of retinal vessel.And the squeeze excitation residual module is used to scale the weights of the low-level features so that the network learns the complex relationships of the different feature layers efficiently.We validate the DSeU-net on three public retinal vessel segmentation datasets including DRIVE,CHASEDB1,and STARE,and the experimental results demonstrate the satisfactory segmentation performance of the network.

Ultralow specific surface area vermiculite supporting Mn-Ce-Fe mixed oxides as“curling catalysts”for selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH_(3)

In this study,the ultralow specific surface area clay vermiculite(VMT)was selected to be a catalyst support for the NH_(3)-SCR process,and the active components MnCeFeO_(x)loaded on vermiculite was just like curling on ice from the TEM results.The de-NO_(x)performance of Mn-Ce-Fe/VMT exhibited almost complete NO conversion with a gas hourly space velocity(GHSV)of 15,300 h^(-1)at 150℃,which was 25%and 10%higher than that of Mn/VMT and Mn-Ce/VMT,respectively.Ce and Fe co-doping improved the BET surface area,the quantities of active Mn^(4+),the acid sites and NH_(3)adsorption energy of Mn/VMT,all of which contributed to the increase in low-temperature SCR activity.In situ DRIFT measurements suggested that NO_(x)removal over Mn-Ce-Fe/VMT followed both Eley-Rideal(E-R)and Langmuir-Hinshelwood(L-H)mechanisms at 150℃,but the E-R mechanism played a dominant role.Corresponding Mn-Ce-Fe/VMT monolithic catalysts reached 90%NO conversion with a GHSV of 4000 h^(-1).

政府如何激励创新?——基于委托—代理理论的研究

本文分析了在研发结果不确定和信息不对称的情况下,政府如何最优地采用研发补贴和企业所得税税率优惠来激励创新并减少政府失灵问题。当企业类型可以被观测时,补贴通常不必要,且最优税率随企业研发成功率的提高而提高。引入不对称信息后,我们发现激励相容的最优税率将随企业研发成功率的提高而降低。我们通过数值模拟分析了不同因素对最优政策的影响,表明信息不对称降低了政府和所有企业的期望收益。

利用兰州重离子研究装置(HIRFL)的碳离子束辐照油葵干种子,统计出苗率、存活率、花粉活力、柱头可授性和不同授粉条件下的结实率,研究碳离子束辐照对油葵当代结实特性的影响。结果表明,出苗率、存活率、花粉活力、结实率随着辐照剂量增加而降低;与对照相比,80 Gy辐照后出苗率下降55.68%、存活率下降64.66%;20~160 Gy辐照显著降低了自交结实率,40~160 Gy辐照显著降低了混交结实率;花粉活力由对照组的92.01%降低为160 Gy的47.59%;随着辐照剂量的增加,具有较强可授性柱头的百分比逐渐降低,具有较弱可授性柱头和不具可授性柱头的百分比逐渐增加。研究表明,碳离子束辐照对油葵当代的损伤作用,影响了花器官的育性,降低了结实率;根据存活率的半致死剂量,结合混交结实率的半不育剂量,确定油葵适宜辐照剂量范围55~153 Gy,为碳离子束辐照油葵育种选择适宜辐照剂量提供了参考。

Calculation of depth-dose distribution of intermediate energy heavy-ion beams

Based on the characteristics of the interactions between intermediate energy heavy-ion beam and target matter, a method to calculate the depth-dose distribution of heavy-ion beams with intermediate energy (10-100 MeV/u) is presented. By comparing high energy beams where projectile fragmentation is overwhelming with low energies where energy straggling is the sole factor instead, a crescent energy spread with increasing depth and a simple fragmentation assumption were included for the depth-dose calculation of the intermediate energy beam. Relative depth-dose curves of carbon and oxygen ion beams with intermediate energies were computed according to the method here. Comparisons between the calculated relative doses and measurements are shown. The calculated Bragg curves, especially the upstream and downstream Bragg peaks, agree with the measured data. Differences between the two results appear only around the peak regions because of the limitations of the calculation and experimental conditions, but the

Intrinsically Stretchable Organic-Tribotronic-Transistor for Tactile Sensing

Stretchable electronics are of great significance for the development of the next-generation smart interactive systems.Here,we propose an intrinsically stretchable organic tribotronic transistor(SOTT)without a top gate electrode,which is composed of a stretchable substrate,silver nanowire electrodes,semiconductor blends,and a nonpolar elastomer dielectric.The drain-source current of the SOTT can be modulated by external contact electrification with the dielectric layer.Under 0-50%stretching both parallel and perpendicular to the channel directions,the SOTT retains great output performance.After being stretched to 50%for thousands of cycles,the SOTT can survive with excellent stability.Moreover,the SOTT can be conformably attached to the human hand,which can be used for tactile signal perception in human-machine interaction and for controlling smart home devices and robots.This work has realized a stretchable tribotronic transistor as the tactile sensor for smart interaction,which has extended the application of tribotronics in the human-machine interface,wearable electronics,and robotics.

Tribotronic bipolar junction transistor for mechanical frequency monitoring and use as touch switch

Tribotronics,a new field that involves the coupling of triboelectricity and semiconductors,has attracted great interest in the nanoenergy and nanoelectronics domains.This paper proposes a tribotronic bipolar junction transistor(TBJT)that incorporates a bipolar junction transistor and a triboelectric nanogenerator(TENG)in the single-electrode mode.When the mobile triboelectric layer slides on the device surface for electrification,a bias voltage is created and applied to the emitter junction,and then the base current from the TENG is amplified.Based on the fabricated TBJT,a mechanical frequency monitoring sensor with high sensitivity and excellent stability and a finger-triggered touch switch were developed.This work demonstrated for the first time a tribotronic device with simultaneously controlled voltage and current voltage/current simultaneously controlled tribotronic device,which has promising potential applications in micro/nano-sensors,human-machine interactions,intelligent instrumentation,wearable electronics,and other applications.
