However, understanding of the dynamics of phytoplankton taxonomic composition in this marginal ice zone remains unclear. In this study, seawater samples collected from 36 stations in the northeastern Antarctic Peninsula were analyzed for nutrients and phytoplankton pigments.Combining with CHEMTAX analysis, remote sensing data, and physicochemical measurements, we investigated the relationships between phytoplankton crops, taxonomic composition, and marine environmental drivers.Integrated chlorophyll a(Chl a) concentrations(200 m) varied from 8.9 mg/m^(2)to 64.2 mg/m^(2), with an average of(23.2±12.0) mg/m^(2)and higher phytoplankton biomass concentrated in the coastal region of South Orkney Island and South Shetland Island. Diatoms were the dominant functional group(63%±21%). Higher proportions of diatoms were associated with higher Chl a(r=0.40, p<0.01), stable water columns(r=0.20, p<0.01), higher Si/P ratios(r=0.34, p<0.01), higher photosynthetically active radiation intensity(r=0.64, p<0.01), and higher sea ice melt water contributions(MWC, r=0.20, p<0.01). Conversely, Phaeocystis antarctica contributed a smaller overall proportion(31%±18%) and was more concentrated in the offshore water masses(e.g., Philip Ridge and South Scotia Ridge) with lower light levels(r=-0.58, p<0.01), deeper mixed layer depths(r=0.17, p<0.05), higher nutrient concentrations(e.g., N, P, and Si, r>0.35, p<0.01), and lower MWC(r=-0.20, p<0.01). In comparison, the total contribution from green flagellates(4%±5%), cryptophyta(1%±3%), dinoflagellates(1%±4%), and cyanobacteria(1% ± 5%) was only 6%. In offshore regions with well-mixed water, less varied taxonomic composition and lower crops with a higher proportion of nanophytoplankton were observed. In contrast, significantly decreasing crops below the mixed layer depth was observed in water columns with strong stratification, where the dominant phytoplankter changed from diatoms to P. antarctica. These findings have important implications for better understanding the future dynamics of marine ecosystems in the sea area adjacent to the Antarctic Peninsula.展开更多

In this study, seawater samples collected from 36 stations in the northeastern Antarctic Peninsula were analyzed for nutrients and phytoplankton pigments.Combining with CHEMTAX analysis, remote sensing data, and physicochemical measurements, we investigated the relationships between phytoplankton crops, taxonomic composition, and marine environmental drivers.Integrated chlorophyll a(Chl a) concentrations(200 m) varied from 8.9 mg/m^(2)to 64.2 mg/m^(2), with an average of(23.2±12.0) mg/m^(2)and higher phytoplankton biomass concentrated in the coastal region of South Orkney Island and South Shetland Island. Diatoms were the dominant functional group(63%±21%). Higher proportions of diatoms were associated with higher Chl a(r=0.40, p<0.01), stable water columns(r=0.20, p<0.01), higher Si/P ratios(r=0.34, p<0.01), higher photosynthetically active radiation intensity(r=0.64, p<0.01), and higher sea ice melt water contributions(MWC, r=0.20, p<0.01). Conversely, Phaeocystis antarctica contributed a smaller overall proportion(31%±18%) and was more concentrated in the offshore water masses(e.g., Philip Ridge and South Scotia Ridge) with lower light levels(r=-0.58, p<0.01), deeper mixed layer depths(r=0.17, p<0.05), higher nutrient concentrations(e.g., N, P, and Si, r>0.35, p<0.01), and lower MWC(r=-0.20, p<0.01). In comparison, the total contribution from green flagellates(4%±5%), cryptophyta(1%±3%), dinoflagellates(1%±4%), and cyanobacteria(1% ± 5%) was only 6%. In offshore regions with well-mixed water, less varied taxonomic composition and lower crops with a higher proportion of nanophytoplankton were observed. In contrast, significantly decreasing crops below the mixed layer depth was observed in water columns with strong stratification, where the dominant phytoplankter changed from diatoms to P. antarctica. These findings have important implications for better understanding the future dynamics of marine ecosystems in the sea area adjacent to the Antarctic Peninsula.

文摘Deep learning(DL)is currently revolutionizing peptide drug development due to both computational advances and the substantial recent expansion of digitized biological data.However,progress in oligopeptide drug development has been limited,likely due to the lack of suitable datasets and difficulty in identifying informative features to use as inputs for DL models.Here,we utilized an unsupervised deep learning model to learn a semantic pattern based on the intrinsically disordered regions of~171 known osteogenic proteins.Subsequently,oligopeptides were generated from this semantic pattern based on Monte Carlo simulation,followed by in vivo functional characterization.A five amino acid oligopeptide(AIB5P)had strong bone-formation-promoting effects,as determined in multiple mouse models(e.g.,osteoporosis,fracture,and osseointegration of implants).Mechanistically,we showed that AIB5P promotes osteogenesis by binding to the integrinα5 subunit and thereby activating FAK signaling.In summary,we successfully established an oligopeptide discovery strategy based on a DL model and demonstrated its utility from cytological screening to animal experimental verification.

文摘Ionic liquids(ILs) have attracted increasing attention since last few decades due to their high molecular design abilities and wide applications in different fields.In this study,four novel fluorescent isoquinolino [2,1-a]quinoxalin-5-ium ILs were designed and synthesized via a two-step process including a simple dual Schiff’s base formation and a subsequent [RhCp*Cl_(2)]_(2)-catalyzed oxidative C-H activation/annulation reaction.The as-synthesized ILs were extensively characterized using FT-IR,~1 H-NMR,^(13)C-NMR,^(19)F-NMR,HSQC-NMR,HMBC-NMR and HR-MS.Their photophysical properties were determined by steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy.The results demonstrate that all these ILs showed dual or triple emissions,large stokes shift(90 nm) and mechanochromic behaviors.Basing on solvatochromism and titration experiments,it is thought that the emission bands of the ILs are raised from their local excited states,charge transfer states or excited state proton transfer of cations,while the substitute effect of these quinoxaline derived ILs on their stokes shifts is negligible.
文摘The abuse of opioids is harmful to the national economy and health.The U.S.government has spent a lot of time,energy and money to deal with this phenomenon.Based on the topic background and team discussion,we deeply excavated the data and information provided in the topic,determined the current use of opioids,and constructed an improved SIR model to determine the source of drug abuse,the mechanism of drug abuse diffusion and the origin of each state through reverse derivation,which provided guidance for the government in the context of opioid abuse.Based on the above results,we simulated and analyzed the improved SIR model and determined the accuracy and stability of the model in the data set.
文摘For the diagnosis of diseases,modern medicine usually searches for diseases in the disease database to find the type of disease that matches them.The diagnosis of diseases is the first step in treatment.Then the classification of diseases is the basis of disease diagnosis.Disease classification plays an extremely important role in the scientific management of medical records and the development of modern medicine,and is a bridge connecting modern medical science.Therefore,the classification of diseases is very necessary.Based on this,this article establishes a K-means model for disease diagnosis,and combines the internationally unified disease type code ICD statistics table to classify the sample data set into infectious and parasitic diseases,tumors,diabetes and circulatory diseases The training is perfect,and finally the diagnosis classification of the disease is realized.

文摘The new Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)satellites,including GLONASS,Galileo,and BeiDou system,are equipped with Laser Retroreflector Arrays(LRA)to support Satellite Laser Ranging(SLR)tracking,which contributes to the estimation of global geodetic parameters.In this study,we estimate the global geodetic parameters using the SLR observations to GNSS satellites and also investigate the effects of different data processing strategies on the estimated Earth Rotation Parameters(ERP),geocenter motion,and terrestrial scale.The results indicate that setting range bias parameters for each satellite-station pair can effectively account for the satellite-specific biases induced by LRAs,leading to smaller Root Mean Square Errors(RMSE)of the post-fit SLR residuals.Furthermore,estimating the range biases for each satellite-station pair improves the accuracy of the estimated station coordinates and ERP.We also examine the impact of different arc lengths on the estimates of ERP,geocenter motion,and terrestrial scale.The results show that extending arc length can significantly reduce the formal error of ERP.The 7-day strategy produces the smallest RMSEs of 473 microarcseconds and 495 microarcseconds for the estimated X-and Y-component of pole coordinates,and 52 microseconds for length-of-day,respectively.However,the estimated geocenter motion is less affected by the arc length,even the shortest 1-day arc strategy can capture the seasonal variations of geocenter motion in Z component.For scale estimation,extending the arc length notably improves the accuracy of the estimated station coordinates and scale,but this advantage becomes less noticeable in longer arcs.The 7-day solution also obtains the closet scale results compared to ITRF2014,with the RMSE of 2.10×10^(–9).

文摘Integer Ambiguity Resolution(IAR)can significantly improve the accuracy of GNSS Precise Orbit Determination(POD).Traditionally,the IAR in POD is achieved at the Double Differenced(DD)level.In this contribution,we develop an Un-Differenced(UD)IAR method for Global Positioning System(GPS)+BeiDou Navigation Satellite System(BDS)+Galileo navigation satellite system(Galileo)+Global'naya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema(GLONASS)quad-system POD by calibrating UD ambiguities in the raw carrier phase and generating the so-called carrier range.Based on this method,we generate the UD ambiguity-fixed orbit and clock products for the Wuhan Innovation Application Center(IAC)of the International GNSS Monitoring and Assessment System(iGMAS).One-year observations in 2020 from 150 stations are employed to investigate performance of orbit and clock products.Notably,the UD Ambiguity Resolution(AR)yields more resolved integer ambiguities than the traditional DD AR,scaling up to 9%,attributable to its avoidance of station baseline formation.Benefiting from the removal of ambiguity parameters,the computational efficiency of parameter estimation undergoes a substantial 70%improvement.Compared with the float solution,the orbit consistencies of UD AR solution achieve the accuracy of 1.9,5.2,2.8,2.1,and 2.7 cm for GPS,BeiDou-2 Navigation Satellite System(BDS-2),BeiDou-3 Navigation Satellite System(BDS-3),Galileo,and GLONASS satellites respectively,reflecting enhancements of 40%,24%,54%,34%,and 42%.Moreover,the standard deviations of Satellite Laser Ranging(SLR)residuals are spanning 2.5–3.5 cm,underscoring a comparable accuracy to the DD AR solution,with discrepancies below 5%.A notable advantage of UD AR lies in its capability to produce the Integer Recovered Clock(IRC),facilitating Precise Point Positioning(PPP)AR without requiring additional Uncalibrated Phase Delay(UPD)products.To assess the performance of quad-system kinematic PPP based on IRC,a network comprising 120 stations is utilized.In comparison to the float solution,the IRC-based PPP AR accelerates convergence time by 31%and enhance positioning accuracy in the east component by 54%.

文摘Smart electronic textiles with electronic functions like displaying can provide transformative opportunities for wearable devices that traditional rigid devices are hard to realize.A general strategy of enabling textiles to display is weaving light-emitting fibers into textiles and designing control circuits.However,it remains challenging for the current electronic textiles to display full-color images and videos.Here,we demonstrate a large-area integrated electronic textile system(with a size of 72 cm×50 cm)by weaving light-emitting diode(LED)fibers,touch-sensing fibers and polyester fibers,which could display full-color images(with a gamut of 117.6%NTSC)and continuous videos(with a refresh rate of 11.7 Hz)by designing low-voltage supply mode and parallelly transmitting circuits.After integration of touch-sensing fibers,such textile system could achieve various touch display and interactive functions like smart phones or computers,including hand input of text,hand painting,computing and playing games.The stability and durability of textile system withstanding 5000 bending cycles was also demonstrated for wearable applications.The integrated electronic textile system shows similar flexibility and breathability with regular textiles,which is promising to serve as new human-machine interface to change the way in which people interact with electronics.

文摘Two-dimensional(2D)non-layered materials,along with their unique surface properties,offer intriguing prospects for sensing applications.Introducing mechanical degrees of freedom is expected to enrich the sensing performances of 2D non-layered devices,such as high frequency,high tunability,and large dynamic range,which could lead to new types of high performance nanosensors.Here,we demonstrate 2D non-layered nanomechanical resonant sensors based onβ-In_(2)S_(3),where the devices exhibit robust nanomechanical vibrations up to the very high frequency(VHF)band.We show that such device can operate as pressure sensor with broad range(from 103 Torr to atmospheric pressure),high linearity(with a nonlinearity factor as low as 0.0071),and fast response(with an intrinsic response time less than 1μs).We further unveil the frequency scaling law in theseβ-In_(2)S_(3) nanomechanical sensors and successfully extract both the Young's modulus and pretension for the crystal.Our work paves the way towards future wafer-scale design and integrated sensors based on 2D non-layered materials.
