To address this issue, an original and alternative approach which incorporates the knowledge about real-time drive cycles and driving trends into fuzzy logic control strategy was proposed. A machine learning framework called MC_FRAME was established, which includes two neural networks for self-learning and making predictions. An intelligent fuzzy logic control strategy based on the MC_FRAME was then developed in a hybrid electric vehicle system, which is called FLCS_MODEL. Simulations were conducted to evaluate the FLCS_MODEL using ADVISOR. The simulation results indicated that comparing with the default controller on the drive cycle NEDC, the FLCS_MODEL saves 12.25% fuel per hundred kilometers, with the HC emissions increasing by 22.7%, the CO emissions reducing by 16.5%, the NOx emissions reducing by 37.5% and with the PM emissions reducing by 12.9%. A conclusion can be drawn that the proposed approach realizes fewer fuel consumption and less emissions.展开更多

Calmodulin mRNA was distributed in various developmental stages of tobacco anthers, but the expression level had temporal and spatial differences distinctly. During early stage of anther development, the expression level of calmodulin mRNA was significantly high, mainly distributed in epidermis, tapetum and transfusion parenchyma cells and so on. Especially, more mRNA was accumulated in the nuclei and chromosomes of microspore mother cells prior to and during meiosis. With the development of anther,mRNA was decreased gradually in the anther wall and pollen. By mature pollen stage, only a stronger positive reaction still existed in the epidermis of anther wall and transfusion parenchyma cells. The results suggest that the temporal and spatial expression of calmodulin mRNA is closely correlated with cell division,展开更多

Young proembryos with 8-32 cells and globular proembryos with 250-400 cells could be isolated by enzymatic maceration combined with microdissection. After electroporation with GUS or GFP genes, the proembryos were cultured for 1 -2 d in KM8p medium. At the field strength of electroporation 500-1 500 V/cm, blue reaction of GUS or green fluorescence of GFP could be observed in the proembryos. The highest transient expression frequency of young proembryos (2.2%) was obtained at the field strength of 750 V/cm, whereas the highest frequency of globular proembryos (5.9%) was obtained at the field strength of 1 250 V/cm. Taking the proportion of transformed cells in the whole cells of proembryos as efficient transformation frequency, the efficient transformation frequency of the young proembryos was 7 times that of the globular proembryos.展开更多

The phosphatidylinositol transfer protein, cytoplasmic 1 (PITPNC1) is identified as a lipid transporter that reciprocally transfers phospholipids between intracellular membrane structures. However, the physiological significance of PITPNC1 and its regulatory mechanism remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that PITPNC1 is a key player in thermogenesis of BAT. While Pitpnc1^(−/−) mice do not differ with wildtype mice in body weight and insulin sensitivity on either chow or high-fat diet, they develop hypothermia when subjected to acute cold exposure at 4℃. The Pitpnc1^(−/−) brown adipocytes exhibit defective β-oxidation and abnormal thermogenesis-related metabolism pathways in mitochondria. The deficiency of lipid mobilization in Pitpnc1^(−/−) brown adipocytes might be the result of excessive accumulation of phosphatidylcholine and a reduction of phosphatidic acid. Our findings have uncovered significant roles of PITPNC1 in mitochondrial phospholipid homeostasis and BAT thermogenesis.展开更多

文摘对于煤制天然气,CO甲烷化技术起着重要作用,其研究核心之一是高效催化剂的开发.目前,CO甲烷化催化剂主要采用金属Ni作为活性组分,但存在高温易烧结和易积炭等问题.因此,如何使其同时具有较高的催化活性和高温稳定性是亟待解决的问题.针对这些问题,本文以高热稳定性的六铝酸镧(La Al11O18)为载体,采用浸渍法担载金属镍,制备了Ni/LaAl_(11)O_(18)催化剂;以高化学惰性的ZrO_2为包覆层,采用改进的连续吸附反应法,将ZrO_2前驱体液相沉积在Ni/LaAl_(11)O_(18)表面进行改性,制备了具有包覆结构的Ni/LaAl_(11)O_(18)@ZrO_2甲烷化催化剂.探讨了ZrO_2在Ni/LaAl_(11)O_(18)表面的分布形式以及不同沉积包覆量对催化剂结构、CO甲烷化催化剂活性和稳定性的影响.分别采用氮气物理吸附、X射线衍射、透射电镜、扫描电镜、氢气程序升温还原、氢气程序升温脱附、X射线光电子能谱、热重分析和电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱法等手段对催化剂进行了系统表征.结果表明,ZrO_2纳米粒子能够同时分布在催化剂活性组分和载体表面,增加了金属-载体间相互作用力,高温还原时可以有效抑制活性金属Ni的烧结,成功构筑了具有显著限域结构的包覆型催化剂.同时,ZrO_2的包覆不利于金属的氢气化学吸附.在常压,260-600 oC和120 L g^(-1) h^(-1)条件下对催化剂进行了催化活性测试.结果显示,与未改性的催化剂相比,包覆后催化剂上CO转化率略有降低,但是其CH4选择性明显提高,适量的ZrO_2包覆对CH_4得率有较好的促进作用,但是过量的ZrO_2包覆会因占据过多的金属镍表面使得CO转化率显著降低.在常压,550 oC和120 L g^(-1) h^(-1)空速的操作条件下所进行的107 h稳定性测试结果表明,包覆型Ni/LaAl_(11)O_(18)@ZrO_2催化剂展示了良好的高温稳定性,具有优异的抗烧结和抗积碳性能.这主要是因为包覆型催化剂具有良好的'限域'效应,从而显著改善了催化剂的抗烧结性能;同时较强的金属-载体相互作用以及ZrO_2助剂对CO_2的活化提升了催化剂的消碳能力,增强了Ni/LaAl_(11)O_(18)@ZrO_2催化剂的抗积碳能力.总之,本文构筑了一种高稳定性的包覆型催化剂Ni/LaAl_(11)O_(18)@ZrO_2,可广泛应用到其他多种高温反应中.
