Is there hybridization between 2 species of the same genus in sympatry?——The genetic relationships between Anoplophora glabripennis,Anoplophora chinensis,and putative hybrids

Anoplophora glabripennis(Asian longhorn beetle,ALB)and Anoplophora chinensis(Citrus longhorn beetle,CLB)are native forest pests in China;they have become important international quarantine pests.They are found using the same Salix aureopendula host tree of Cixi,Zhejiang province,China.On this host tree,we collected additional beetles that appeared to be morphologically intermediate between ALB and CLB.By using a stereoscope,we observed that there were several bumps on the base of the elytra,which was inconsistent with ALB,which typically has a smooth elytral base,but was more like CLB,which has numerous short tubercles on the elytral base.Given their sympatry and intermediate morphology,we hypothesized that these may represent ALB×CLB hybrids.We studied the genomic profiles for 46 samples(ALB,CLB,and putative hybrids)using genotyping-by-sequencing(GBS)providing a reduced representation of the entire genome.Employing principal component analyses on the 163 GBS-derived single nucleotide polymorphism data,we found putative hybrids tightly clustered with ALB,but genetically distinct from the CLB individuals.Therefore,our initial hybrid hypothesis was not supported by genomic data.Further,while mating experiments between adult ALB and CLB were successful in 4 separate years(2017,2018,2020,and 2021),and oviposition behavior was observed,no progeny was produced.Having employed population genomic analysis and biological hybridization experiments,we conclude that the putative hybrids represent newly discovered morphological variants within ALB.Our approach further confirmed the advantage of genome-wide information for Anoplophora species assignment in certain ambiguous classification cases.

Acoustic sound speed profile inversion based on orthogonal matching pursuit

The estimation of ocean sound speed profiles(SSPs)requires the inversion of an acoustic field using limited observations.Such inverse problems are underdetermined,and require regularization to ensure physically realistic solutions.The empirical orthonormal function(EOF)is capable of a very large compression of the data set.In this paper,the non-linear response of the sound pressure to SSP is linearized using a first order Taylor expansion,and the pressure is expanded in a sparse domain using EOFs.Since the parameters of the inverse model are sparse,compressive sensing(CS)can help solve such underdetermined problems accurately,efficiently,and with enhanced resolution.Here,the orthogonal matching pursuit(OMP)is used to estimate range-independent acoustic SSPs using the simulated acoustic field.The superior resolution of OMP is demonstrated with the SSP data from the South China Sea experiment.By shortening the duration of the training set,the temporal correlation between EOF and test sets is enhanced,and the accuracy of sound velocity inversion is improved.The SSP estimation error versus depth is calculated,and the 99%confidence interval of error is within±0.6 m/s.The 82%of mean absolute error(MAE)is less than 1 m/s.It is shown that SSPs can be well estimated using OMP.

Simple synthesis of sandwich-like SnSe2/rGO as high initial coulombic efficiency and high stability anode for sodium-ion batteries

Metal selenides owing to their high theoretical capacity and good conductivity are considered as one of the potential candidates for the anode materials of sodium-ion batteries(SIBs).However,their practical applications are greatly restricted by the poor cycling performances and complicated synthesis methods.In this work,a sandwich-like Sn Se2/reduced graphene oxide(r GO)composite with a small amount of r GO(7.3%)is synthesized by a simple one-pot solvothermal technique.The as-synthesized Sn Se2/r GO shows improved initial coulombic efficiency(ICE)of 73.7%,high capacity of 402.0 m Ah g-1 after 150 cycles at 0.1 A g-1 with a retention of 86.2%and outstanding rate performances.The abundant Sn-O-C bonds of synthesized material not only accelerate the charge transfer at the interface but also enhance the mechanical strength to accommodate volume variation and prevent active material loss during cycling.Moreover,the compact structure leads to thin solid electrolyte interface(SEI)so that high initial coulombic efficiency was obtained.Furthermore,full cells are assembled to test its potential application.This work offers a simple method to synthesize Sn Se2/r GO as a candidate anode for SIBs.

Achieving long-cycling sodium-ion full cells in ether-based electrolyte with vinylene carbonate additive

Application of sodium-ion batteries is suppressed due to the lack of appropriate electrolytes matching cathode and anode simultaneously.Ether-based electrolytes,preference of anode materials,cannot match with high-potential cathodes failing to apply in full cells.Herein,vinylene carbonate(VC)as an additive into NaCF_(3) SO_(3)-Diglyme(DGM)could make sodium-ion full cells applicable without preactivation of cathode and anode.The assembled FeS@C||Na3 V2(PO_(4))_(3)@C full cell with this electrolyte exhibits long term cycling stability and high capacity retention.The deduced reason is additive VC,whose HOMO level value is close to that of DGM,not only change the solvent sheath structure of Na^(+),but also is synergistically oxidized with DGM to form integrity and consecutive cathode electrolyte interphase on Na3 V2(PO_(4))_(3)@C cathode,which could effectively improve the oxidative stability of electrolyte and prevent the electrolyte decomposition.This work displays a new way to optimize the sodium-ion full cell seasily with bright practical application potential.

Facile synthesis of hierarchical Na2Fe(SO4)2@rGO/C as high-voltage cathode for energy density-enhanced sodium-ion batteries

Fe-based sulfates are ideal cathode candidates for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs) owing to their high operating voltage and low cost but suffer from the nature of poor power performance. Herein, a hierarchical porous Na2Fe(SO4)2@reduced graphene oxide/carbon dot(Na2Fe(SO4)2@rGO/C) with low carbon content(4.12 wt%) was synthesized via a facile homogeneous strategy benefiting for engineering application,which delivers excellent sodium storage performance(high voltage plateau of 3.75 V, 85 m Ah g-1 and330 Wh kg-1 at 0.05 C;5805 W kg-1 at 10 C) and high Na+diffusion coefficient(1.19 × 10-12 cm2 s-1).Moreover, the midpoint voltage of assembled full cell could reach 3.0 V. The electron transfer and reaction kinetics are effectively boosted since the nanoscale Na2Fe(SO4)2 is supported by a robust crosslinked carbon matrix with rGO sheets and carbon dots. The slight rGO sheets sufficiently enhance the electron transfer like a current collecter and restrain the aggregation, as well as ensure smooth ion channels. Meanwhile, the carbon dots in the whole space connect with Na2Fe(SO4)2 and help rGO to promote the conductivity of the electrode. Ex-situ X-ray powder diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry analysis confirm the high reversibility of this sodiation/desodiation process.

Breast Milk Lead and Cadmium Levels in Suburban Areas of Nanjing,China

Objective To evaluate levels of lead(Pb) and cadmium(Cd) in the breast milk in the second postpartum month,to investigate the relationship between Pb/Cd levels in breast milk and some sociodemographic parameters,and to explore whether these levels affect the infants' physical status or the mothers' psychological status(postpartum depression).Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted between November 2009 and December 2010.Altogether 170 healthy mothers were enrolled from Nanjing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital.The inclusion criteria were:voluntary to participate in this study,healthy,with no chronic disease,breastfeeding in the second postpartum month,living in a suburban but not non-industrial area of Nanjing,and not occupationally exposed to toxic metals.All the mothers completed a questionnaire and were evaluated based on the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale(EPDS) to identify the risk of postpartum depression.Pb and Cd levels in breast milk were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy.The infants of these mothers were examined for their z scores of weight for age,length for age,head circumference for age,and body mass index for age.Results The median breast milk levels of Pb and Cd were 40.6 μg/L and 0.67 μg/L,respectively.In 164(96.5%) of the 170 samples,Pb levels were higher than the limit reported by the World Health Organization(> 5 μg/L).Breast milk Cd level was > 1 μg/L in 54(31.8%) mothers.The mothers with a history of anemia had a higher breast milk Pb level than those without a history of anemia(41.1 μg/L vs.37.9 μg/L,P = 0.050).The median breast milk Cd level in those who were active and passive smokers during pregnancy was significantly higher than that in non-smokers(0.88 μg/L vs.0.00 μg/L,P = 0.025).The breast milk Cd level in the mothers not taking iron and vitamin supplements for 2 months postpartum was higher than in those taking the supplements(iron supplement:0.74 μg/L vs.0.00 μg/L,P = 0.025;vitamin supplement:0.78 μg/L vs.0.00 μg/L,P = 0.005).Breast milk Cd level at the second postpartum month was negatively correlated with the z scores of head circumference(r = 0.248,P = 0.042) and weight for age at birth(r = 0.241,P = 0.024) in girls.No correlation was found between the breast milk Pb/Cd levels and the EPDS scores.Conclusion Considering the high levels of Pb and Cd in breast milk in this study,breast milk monitoring programs are necessary.

Patterns of biomass,carbon,and nitrogen storage distribution dynamics after the invasion of pine forests by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Nematoda: Aphelenchoididae) in the three Gorges Reservoir Region

Masson pine stands infected by Pine wilt disease(PWD) in the Three Gorges Reservoir Region of central China were surveyed to quantify the immediate responses and subsequent trajectories of biomass,carbon(C),and nitrogen(N) in stand-level major ecosystem compartments.The biomasses of above-and belowground tree components,as well as of the understory,forest floor,and mineral soil(0–40 cm),were determined within each stand.C and N storage were also estimated for each ecosystem compartment.Overstory biomass decreased steadily with the extent of PWD infection.Understory biomass ranged from1.97 to 4.16 Mg ha,and the observed value for forest floor biomass was 12.89–22.59 Mg ha.The highest mean C and N concentrations were found in the stem bark and needles of Masson pine,respectively,while the lowest were found in the semi-to fully decomposed layer of the forest floor and stem wood of Masson pine,respectively.The C and N storage of aboveground trees,tree roots,and the aboveground ecosystem decreased with the extent ofPWD infection.However,the C and N contents of the understory,forest floor,and total mineral soil initially declined after PWD infection before recovering over the following several years.Those result concluded that the biomass,C,and N storage of different forest ecosystem compartments have experienced certain variations following the PWD epidemic.This is vital to understand the shifts in stand-level C and N allocation in PWD-damaged forest stands,as well as for predicting the responses of regional and global C and N cycling.

Effect of pine wood nematode invasion on pine community functions in the Pinghu region, Zhejiang Province, eastern China

In order to investigate the effect of invastion by pine wood nematode(PWN), this study analyzed several functional indices, i.e., the increment in DBH and stand volume and biomass, in the damaged stands with various mixed percentages of Pinus massoniana and P. thunbergii and with different levels of damage. According to the results of rate of change in increment of DBH and stand volume, the forest ecosystem resistance against PWN increased with a reduction in the mixed ratio of pine. The resistance was highest with a mixed percentage of 50%. The invasion of PWN changed the corresponding relationship of increment between DBH and stand volume(pure stands > 7:3 conifer and broadleaf > 6:4 conifer and broadleaf > 5:5 conifer and broadleaf) among the P. thunbergii stands when there is no damage, but for P. massoniana stands this phenomenon did not occur. For the increment rate of DBH and stand volume, this significant change in P. thunbergii forest indicates that the resistance of pure P. thunbergii forest was higher than that of P. massoniana. The invasion of PWN accelerates the succession from pure stands to mixed stands and then to the broadleaf evergreen stands.

Blood Lead Levels During Pregnancy and Its Influencing Factors in Nanjing,China

Objective To investigate the blood lead levels (BLLs) in the duration of pregnancy and 6-12 weeks after delivery,and analyze the influencing factors of BLLs in healthy pregnant women.Methods Pregnant women were recruited from September 2009 to February 2010 at the prenatal clinic in Nanjing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital.Altogether 174 healthy pregnant women without pregnant or obstetric complications or abnormal pregnancy outcomes were enrolled as the gravida group,and 120 healthy non-pregnant women as the control group.BLLs during pregnancy were determined by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy.Results BLLs in all the three pregnancy trimesters and postpartum were 59.8±24.3,55.4±20.1,55.9±19.7,and 67.6±17.4 μg/L,respectively,and the mean BLL in control group was 67.5±21.3 μg/L.BLLs during all the three trimesters were lower in the gravida group than in the control group (P=0.043,0.021,and 0.028).Furthermore,occupations,nutrients supplementation,and time of house/apartment painted were associated with BLLs in pregnant women.Lead-related occupations,cosmetics use,and living in a house painted less than 1 year before are risk factors of high BLLs among pregnant women,while calcium,iron,zinc,and milk supplements are protective factors.Conclusion Supplementing calcium,iron,zinc,and milk,or avoiding contact with risk factors may help people,especially pregnant women,to reduce lead exposure.

Major physiological adjustments in freezing-tolerant grey tiger longicorn beetle(Xylotrechus rusticus) during overwintering period

1Xylotrechus rusticus （Linnaeus） is one of the most destruc-tive woodborers in northeast China;it damages poplar and is listed as a domestic forestry quarantine pest. Overwintering larvae were collected during October 2012 and March 2013 in Harbin, China, to quantify indi-cators related to the insect’s overwintering strategy and the major cryo-protectants. The supercooling points （SCPs）, which ranged from-14.7＆#176;C to -2.9＆#176;C, were higher than the lethal temperatures of LT50 （-33.64＆#176;C） and LT99 （-40.17＆#176;C） after 24 h exposure. , also the minimum mean daily temperature （-24.5＆#176;C） and mean monthly temperature （-18.0＆#176;C） at the sampling site in January during 2008-2012. Thus, X. rusticus is a typical freezing-tolerant insect. Glycerol serves as a major cryoprotectant for overwintering larvae , because it was the only polyol accumulated during the winter and it also had a significant negative correlation with the SCP （p=0.033, R=0.907）. The glycogen and lipid are major sources of ener-gy and their levels decreased substantially in the middle of overwintering, when glycogen had a significant correlation with the SCP （p= 0.006, R=0.971） whereas the lipid contents did not. Moreover, inter-conversions between glycerol and glycogen, as well as mannose and glycogen, were suggested by their negative correlations. The water content did not change obviously during the winter and was not correlated with the SCP. The free amino acids in the hemolymph and the total protein contents of the bodies of larvae changed significantly during winter, although both had no correlations with the SCP.

Prediction of the global potential geographical distribution of Hylurgus ligniperda using a maximum entropy model

Background: Hylurgus ligniperda(Fabricius) is native to Europe but has established populations in many countries and regions. H. ligniperda mainly infests Pinus species, and can cause severe weakness and even death of the host through its boring activity;it can also be a vector of various pathogenic fungi. This study was conducted to investigate the environmental variables limiting the distribution of H. ligniperda and the change trend of its suitable areas under climate change.Results: We used a maximum entropy model to predict the potential geographical distribution of H. ligniperda on a global scale under near current and future climatic scenarios using its occurrence data and environmental variables. The result shows that the areas surrounding the Mediterranean region, the eastern coastal areas of Asia, and the southeastern part of Oceania are highly suitable for H. ligniperda. The environmental variables with the greatest effect on the distribution of H. ligniperda were determined using the jackknife method and Pearson’s correlation analysis and included the monthly average maximum temperature in April, precipitation of driest quarter, the monthly average minimum temperature in December, precipitation of coldest quarter, mean temperature of driest quarter and mean diurnal range.Conclusions: Excessive precipitation in winter and low temperatures in spring had a great effect on the distribution of H. ligniperda. The potential geographical distribution of H. ligniperda was predicted to change under future climatic conditions compared with near current climate conditions. Highly suitable areas, moderately suitable areas and low suitable areas were predicted to increase by 59.99%, 44.43% and 22.92%, respectively, under the2081–2100 ssp245 scenario.

Hemodynamics of aneurysm intervention with different stents

An ideal cerebral aneurysm model with different stent forms is established.By using the single-relaxation-time(SRT)lattice Boltzmann method(LBM)to solve the flow field,the blood flow characteristics in the aneurysm under different conditions are studied numerically.The intra-arterial stenting of saccular aneurysms at different Reynolds numbers and the feasibility of new stenting forms such as double stenting and variable-spacing stenting in the aneurysms are explored.The hemodynamic factors such as velocity distribution and wall shear stress(WSS)in the aneurysm are analyzed.Numerical results show that the risk of aneurysm rupture is mainly centralized at the right corner of the aneurysm.Intervention of stents in the aneurysm can effectively reduce the intra-aneurysmal velocity and WSS,and decrease the danger of aneurysm rupture during strenuous exercise or emotional excitement.At the same time,the intervention of a double stent and the stent shape with a dense anterior part in the aneurysm has certain advantages in preventing aneurysm rupture.The intraaneurysmal mean velocity reduction can reach 90.39% and 80.29% after the intervention of the double stent and the anterior densified stent respectively.

The placenta was collected to determine the mRNA expression of AQPs family molecules, cell invasion molecules and apoptosis molecules. Results: AQP1, AQP3, AQP8, AQP9, TXNIP, NLRP3, Fas, HSP70 and Caspase-3 mRNA expression in placenta tissue of severe PE group and mild PE group were greatly higher than those of control group whereas LAMA4, GRP30, OPN, EMMPRIN, MMP2 and MMP9 mRNA expression were greatly lower than those of control group;AQP1, AQP3, AQP8, AQP9, TXNIP, NLRP3, Fas, HSP70 and Caspase-3 mRNA expression in placenta tissue of severe PE group were greatly higher than those of mild PE group whereas LAMA4, GRP30, OPN, EMMPRIN, MMP2 and MMP9 mRNA expression were greatly lower than those of mild PE group;AQP1, AQP3, AQP8 and AQP9 mRNA expression in placenta of PE were negatively correlated with LAMA4, GRP30, OPN, EMMPRIN, MMP2 and MMP9 mRNA expression, and positively correlated with TXNIP, NLRP3, Fas, HSP70 and Caspase-3 mRNA expression. Conclusion: Highly expressed AQP1, AQP3, AQP8 and AQP9 can inhibit the invasion of trophoblast cells and promote the apoptosis of trophoblast cells in the placenta of preeclampsia.

Traits of Masson Pine Affecting Attack of Pine Wood Nematode

Masson pine characteristics were analyzed in five sample plots in Zhejiang Province, China. Bursaphelenchus xylophilus （Steiner et Buhrer） Nickle （pine wood nematode, PWN） carried by Monochamus alternatus predominately attacked Masson pines in the lower diameter classes. Among the 10 tree characteristics examined, mean crown width, percentage of bole with crown, 5-year cumulative diameter growth, and resin amount showed significant variation between successfully attacked and unattacked trees. The attacked trees had a lower percentage of the bole covered with tree crown, lower crown width, lower radial growth in the last 5 years, and produced less induced resinosis than unattacked trees. Results allowed for effective ranking of the pine forest based on individual tree resistance to PWN. This index of resistance should be considered throughout the development of an ＂Evaluation Criterion and Indicator System＂. The preceding ranking can be used to evaluate the resistance and resiliency of the pine forest ecosystem to PWN＇s invasion, which is similar to Pest Risk Analysis （PRA）.

Hierarchical porous hard carbon enables integral solid electrolyte interphase as robust anode for sodium-ion batteries

Hard carbon is the most promising anode for sodium-ion battery applications due to the wide availability and low work voltage.However,it often delivers worse electrochemical performance in ester-based electrolytes.Herein,a hierarchically porous loose sponge-like hard carbon with a highly disordered phase,prepared from the biomass of platanus bark,exhibits superior rate performance with a capacity of 165 mAh·g-1 at a high current of1 A·g-1,and high retention of 71.5%after 2000 cycles in an ester-based electrolyte.The effect of the hierarchically porous loose sponge-like structure on the formation dynamics of solid electrolyte interphase(SEI),and related properties,was studied via cyclic voltammetry(CV),galvanostatic intermittent titration technique(GITT),X-ray photoelectron spectroscope(XPS),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)analysis.These results reveal that the hierarchically porous structure can construct continued connecting channels and accelerate the electrolyte transport,which is beneficial to the reaction kinetics of SEI.Moreover,the mesoporous structure is conducive to good contact between electrolyte and materials and shortens the Na+diffusion path,which in turn facilitates the charge transfer kinetics in the material.

Numerical study on indoor environment and thermal comfort in train station waiting hall with two different air-conditioning modes

With the increasing size of the waiting hall,the large-area use of transparent envelope materials makes the interior surface temperature of the envelope too high,which puts forward higher requirements for the control of environment and thermal comfort indoors.In this paper,the characteristics of indoor temperature distribution,relative humidity distribution and thermal comfort under the all air system(AAs)and the radiant floor cooling and wall cooling combined with air supply system(RC/ASs)were investigated in the large spaces.The computational fluid dynamics(CFD)method was used,and the performance of the CFD model was validated by comparing the measured results with CFD simulation results in the AAs.The numerical results clearly showed that the temperature and relative humidity indoors could satisfy the design requirement both in the AAs and RC/ASs.The indoor air distribution in most areas under the RC/ASs was more uniform based on the indoor heat and humidity requirements under the cooling load of measured day.In the AAs,the total cooling capacity of air conditioning unit was the highest when indoor thermal comfort was the best,that meant that to achieve the best working condition,the air-conditioning system need high energy consumption.Meanwhile,the RC/ASs addressed the problem that the temperature around the seated passengers in the waiting area was relatively high in the AAs.This paper will provide reference for the air conditioning system design in the similar large spaces in the future.

The selective catalytic reduction of NO over Ce_(0.3)TiO_x^-supported metal oxide catalysts

A Ce（0.3）TiOxoxide carrier was synthesized via a sol–gel process,and Ce（0.3）TiOxsupported metal（M=Cd,Mn,Fe,W,Mo）oxide catalysts were prepared by the method of incipient-wetness impregnation.The catalysts were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction（XRD）,Brunauer–Emmett–Teller（BET）analysis,scanning electron microscopy（SEM）,transmission electron microscopy（TEM）,Fourier transform infrared（FT–IR）spectroscopy,UV–Visdiffusereflectancespectroscopy（UV–VisDRS）,and Temperature-programmed reduction with H2（H2-TPR）.The catalytic activities for de-NO（x ）were evaluated by the NH3-SCR reaction.Among all the catalysts tested,the 2 wt.%Cd/Ce（0.3）TiOxcatalyst exhibited the best NH3-SCR performance,with a wide temperature window of 250–450℃ for NO conversion above 90%.Moreover,the catalyst showed N2 selectivity greater than 99%from 200 to 450℃.

PAANa粘结剂诱导形成柔韧固态电解质膜提升微米级FeS电极的储钠性能

高容量金属硫化物面临着首周库伦效率低、穿梭效应和体积膨胀等导致的严重容量衰退问题,碳包覆和固定常被用来解决上述问题.然而,这些方法通常比较复杂、耗时,不利于大规模应用.本文提出一种采用粘结剂优化解决微米级FeS电极材料上述问题的简便策略,以极性聚合物粘结剂聚丙烯酸钠(PAANa)为例,研究了其作用机制:PAANa粘结剂的引入可与FeS材料颗粒形成交联的网状结构,既可以缓冲电极材料在充放电时体积的改变所产生的机械应力,还诱导并参与在FeS颗粒表面形成较薄的SEI膜,提高了电极界面离子迁移速度和电极的首周库伦效率,使得FeS负极的循环稳定性和倍率性能得到明显优化.本工作不仅使人们对电极粘结剂在电极中的作用有了新的认识,而且为优化电池材料性能提供了新途径.
