Surface morphology, compositions, microstructure and optical properties of GaN film irradiated by highly charged Kr^(q+)(q = 23, 15, 11) in two geometries to a fluence of 1×10^(15)kr^(q+)/cm^2 were studied using ...Surface morphology, compositions, microstructure and optical properties of GaN film irradiated by highly charged Kr^(q+)(q = 23, 15, 11) in two geometries to a fluence of 1×10^(15)kr^(q+)/cm^2 were studied using AFM,XPS, PL, Raman scattering and UV–visible spectroscopy.The AFM observation shows that the irradiated GaN area is a swollen terrace. The swelling rate increased with the charge state(potential energy). For the same charge state,the swelling rate of tilted incidence was greater than that for normal incidence. The XPS measurements reveal that N deficiency, Ga enrichment and Ga–O and Ga dangling bonds generated on the irradiated GaN surface increased with the charge state, and more N was lost for normal incidence than that for tilted incidence. The UV–Vis results show that the transmittance decreased with increasing charge state. For the same charge state, the transmittance for tilted incidence is higher than that for normal incidence.The PL spectra present that, with increasing charge state,the YL band intensity decreased, with a blueshift in its peak position; while the NBE peak intensity increased firstand then reduced, and a blue luminescence band appeared.A rapid quenching of both the YL and the NEB for normal incidence was observed. Raman spectra display that screw dislocations perhaps were produced near the surface for normal incidence.展开更多

Reports of the identification of miRNAs in Sogatella furcifera (white-backed planthopper), the insect that acts as the only confirmed vector of the southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV), are limited. In this study, a total of 382 miRNAs were identified in S. furcifera, including 106 conserved and 276 novel miRNAs, using high-throughput sequencing based on two small RNA libraries from viruliferous and non-viruliferous S. furcifera, and these miRNAs belonged to 52 conserved miRNA families and 58 S. furcifera-specific families, respectively. Comparison with miRNAs from 26 insect species and five other species in miRBase showed that more than half of the conserved miRNA families are highly conserved in Hexapoda, while other miRNAs are only conserved in non- dipterans. Furthermore, 4 117 target genes predicted for the 382 identified miRNAs could be categorized into 45 functional groups annotated by Gene Ontology. Compared with non-viruliferous cells, eight up-regulated miRNAs and four down-regulated miRNAs were identified in cells inoculated with SRBSDV, among which miR-14 and miR-n98a may be involved in the immune response to SRBSDV infection. Analyses of the identified miRNAs will provide insights into the roles of these miRNAs in the regulation and expression of genes involved in the metabolism, development and viral infection of S. furciJbra.展开更多

As we know, a complex network is usually stored and represented by an adjacency matrix. It is a high-dimensional and sparse matrix, whereas machine-learning methods usually need lowdimensional dense feature representations. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a binary higher-order network embedding method to learn the low-dimensional representations of a guarantee network. We first set vertices of this heterogeneous economic network by binary roles (guarantor and guarantee), and then define high-order adjacent measures based on their roles and economic domain knowledge. Afterwards, we design a penalty parameter in the objective function to balance the importance of network structure and adjacency. We optimize it by negative sampling based gradient descent algorithms,which solve the limitation of stochastic gradient descent on weighted edges without compromising efficiency. Finally, we test our proposed method on three real-world network datasets. The result shows that this method outperforms other start-of-the-art algorithms for both classification accuracy and robustness, especially in a guarantee network.展开更多
