A semantic vector map-based approach for aircraft positioning in GNSS/GPS denied large-scale environment

Accurate positioning is one of the essential requirements for numerous applications of remote sensing data,especially in the event of a noisy or unreliable satellite signal.Toward this end,we present a novel framework for aircraft geo-localization in a large range that only requires a downward-facing monocular camera,an altimeter,a compass,and an open-source Vector Map(VMAP).The algorithm combines the matching and particle filter methods.Shape vector and correlation between two building contour vectors are defined,and a coarse-to-fine building vector matching(CFBVM)method is proposed in the matching stage,for which the original matching results are described by the Gaussian mixture model(GMM).Subsequently,an improved resampling strategy is designed to reduce computing expenses with a huge number of initial particles,and a credibility indicator is designed to avoid location mistakes in the particle filter stage.An experimental evaluation of the approach based on flight data is provided.On a flight at a height of 0.2 km over a flight distance of 2 km,the aircraft is geo-localized in a reference map of 11,025 km~2using 0.09 km~2aerial images without any prior information.The absolute localization error is less than 10 m.

Geometric and defects engineering collaboration for enhanced cascade enzymatic nanoreactors

Highly evolved multi-enzyme cascade catalytic reactions in organisms facilitate rapid transfer of substrates and efficient conversion of intermediates in the catalytic unit,thus rationalizing their efficient biocatalysis.In this study,pore-ordered mesoporous single-atom(Fe)nitrogen-doped carbon nanoreactors(Mp-Fe-CN)were designed,in which a reasonable pore size was designed as a natural enzyme trap coupled to a simulated enzyme center.A polarity-mediated strategy was developed to obtain atomically dispersed nanoporous substrates,with the finding that polarity-guided engineering of the nitrogen-ligand environment and vacancy cluster defects clearly affects nanoporous activity,accompanied by appreciable mesoporous pore size elevation.The active center and distal N atom coordination of Fe-N_(4) affect the catalytic process of the nanozyme exposed by density functional theory(DFT),determining the contribution of hybridized orbitals to electron transfer and the decisive step.A cascade nanoreactor-based domain-limited sarcosine oxidase developed for non-invasive monitoring of sarcosine levels in urine for evaluation of potential prostate carcinogenesis as a proof of concept.Based on the design of surface mesoporous channels of nanocatalytic units,a bridge was built for the interaction between nanozymes and natural enzymes to achieve cascade nanocatalysis of natural enzymatic products.

Catalytic effect of MOF-derived transition metal catalyst FeCoS@C on hydrogen storage of magnesium

The introduction of the heterogeneous catalysts with high activity can significantly improve hydrogen storage performance of MgH_(2),therefore,in this paper,we synthesize a carbon-supported transition metal compound,FeCoS@C derivative from ZIF-67,by utilizing the in situ formed C dispersive multiphase Mg_(2)Co,α-Fe,Co_(3)Fe_(7),and MgS to implement catalysis to MgH_(2).Noteworthily,MgH_(2)-FeCoS@C rapidly ab-sorbs 6.78 wt%H_(2)within 60 s at 573 K and can also absorb 4.56 wt%H_(2)in 900 s at 473 K.Besides,the addition of FeCoS@C results in decreasing of the initial dehydrogenation temperatures of MgH_(2)from 620 to 550 K.The dehydrogenation activation energy of MgH_(2)decreases from 160.7 to 91.9 kJ mol^(-1).Studies show that the Mg_(2)Co,α-Fe,and Co_(3)Fe_(7)act as“hydrogen channels”to accelerate hydrogen transfer due to the presence of transition metals,and MgS with excellent catalytic effect formed from MgH_(2)-FeCoS@C provides a strong and stable catalytic effect.Besides,the carbon skeleton obtained by the carbonization of ZIF-67 not only serves as a dispersion for the multiphase catalytic system,but also provides more active sites for the catalysts.Our study shows that the multiphase and multiscale catalytic system provides an effective strategy for improving the hydrogen storage performance of MgH_(2).

Rice Gene Index:A comprehensive pan-genome database for comparative and functional genomics of Asian rice

Dear Editor,Asian rice(Oryza sativa)is the staple food for half the world and is a model crop that has been extensively studied.It contributes20%of calories to the human diet(Stein et al.,2018).With the increase in global population and rapid changes in climate,rice breeders need to develop new and sustainable cultivars with higher yields,healthier grains,and reduced environmental footprints(Wing et al.,2018).Since the first gold-standard reference genome of rice variety Nipponbare was published(International Rice Genome Sequencing Project,2005),an increasing number of rice accessions have been sequenced,assembled,and annotated with global efforts.Nowadays,a single reference genome is obviously insufficient to perform the genetic difference analysis for rice accessions.Therefore,the pan-genome has been proposed as a solution,which allows the discovery of more presence-absence variants compared with single-reference genome-based studies(Zhao et al.,2018).Over the past years,several databases,such as RAP-db(https://rapdb.dna.affrc.go.jp),RGAP(http://rice.uga.edu),and Gramene(https://www.gramene.org),have long-term served rice genomic research by providing information based on one or a series of individual reference genomes.To integrate and utilize the genomic information of multiple accessions,we performed comparative analyses and established the user-friendly Rice Gene Index(RGI;https://riceome.hzau.edu.cn)platform.RGI is the first gene-based pan-genome database for rice.

Supramolecular assemblies of cucurbit[n]urils and 4-aminopyridine controlled by cucurbit[n]uril size(n=5,6,7 and 8)

The binding interactions between 4-aminopyridine(4-AP) and a series of cucurbit[n]urils(Q[5], Q[6],TMe Q[6], Q[7], Q[8]) have been studied using1H NMR spectroscopy, UV–vis absorption spectroscopy,isothermal titration calorimetry(ITC) and X-ray crystallography. The data indicates that the Q[5]@4-AP complex exhibits exo binding, which is not observed in the other four host-guest complexes. Furthermore,X-ray crystallography clearly reveals how the Q[n]s bind with 4-AP to form complexes, for example Q[5]forms an outer-surface complex, whilst Q[6], TMe Q[6] and Q[7] formed 1:1 host and guest type complexes, and Q[8] formed a stable 1:2 ternary complex due to its large cavity, which can accommodate two 4-AP molecules.

Formation condition of deep gas reservoirs in tight sandstones in Kuqa Foreland Basin

Due to the high expense of deep oil and gas exploration,prediction of gas-bearing properties before drilling is crucial for deep gas reservoir of tight sandstone.Deep tight sandstone gas fields in Kuqa Foreland Basin are characterized by high abundance,high gas saturation,high pressure,high and stable yield,which belong to high-efficiency tight gas reservoir.Based on theoretical analysis of controlling factors and mechanisms of gas-bearing properties for tight sandstone gas reservoir,and taking tight sandstone gas fields with high effectiveness such as Dibei,Keshen and Dibei gas fields in Kuqa Foreland Basin as examples,formation condition and mechanism of high-efficiency tight sandstone gas reservoir in Kuqa area are studied through a comparative analysis of typical tight sandstone gas reservoir in Sichuan Basin and Ordos Basin.The results show that the formation condition of deep gas reservoir of tight sandstone in Kuqa foreland basin includes four factors:i.e.,overpressure gas charging,fracture development,“early-oil and late-gas”accumulation process and favorable preservation condition.The overpressure gas charging and fracture development are the most important factors for formation of high-efficiency tight gas reservoirs in Kuqa Foreland Basin.High-quality source rocks,high sourcereservoir pressure difference,and overpressure filling induced thereby are preconditions for formation of tight sandstone with high gas saturation.The fracture development controls gas migration,accumulation,and high yield of tight sandstone gas reservoir.The reservoir wettability changed by the early oil charging is beneficial to late natural gas charging,and the preservation condition of high-quality gypsum cap rocks is the key factor for gas reservoirs to maintain overpressure and high gas saturation.Matching of above four favorable factors leads to the tight sandstone gas reservoir with high abundance,high gas saturation and high gas production in Kuqa Foreland Basin,which is very different from other basins.Under the condition of little difference in physical property of tight sandstone reservoir,excessive source-reservoir pressure difference,facture development,preservation condition and current formation overpressure are the most significant factors to be considered in exploration and evaluation of deep tight sandstone gas.
