A dilemma is that despite the high activity and efficiency expected for hydrogenases as promising catalysts for the hydrogen economy, the poor oxygen tolerance and low yield of hydrogenases largely hinder their practical application. In these years, the enigmas surrounding hydrogenases regarding their structures, oxygen tolerance, mechanisms for catalysis, redox intermediates, and proton-coupled electron transfer schemes have been gradually elucidated;the schemes, which can well couple hydrogenases with other highly efficient(in)organic and biological catalysts to build novel reactors and drive valuable reactions, make it possible for hydrogenases to find their niches. To see how scientists put efforts to tackle this issue and design novel reactors in the fields where hydrogenases play crucial roles, in this review,recent advances were summarized, including different strategies for protecting enzyme molecules from oxygen, enzyme-based assembling systems for H_(2) evolution in the photoelectronic catalysis, enzymatic biofuel cells for H_(2) utilization and storage and the efficient electricity-hydrogen-carbohydrate cycle for high-purity hydrogen and biofuel automobiles. Limitations and future perspectives of hydrogenasebased applications in H_(2) production and utilization with great impact are discussed.

The aim of this phase I study is to explore the proper dose and administration schedule of PEG rhG-CSF for patients receiving standard-dose chemotherapy.Methods:Eligible patients received 3-cycle chemotherapy every 3 weeks.No PEG rhG-CSF was given in the first cycle.Patients experienced grade 3 or 4 neutropenia would then enter the cycle 2 and 3.In cycle 2,patients received a single subcutaneous injection of prophylactic PEG rhG-CSF on d 3,and received half-dose subcutaneous injection in cycle 3 on d 3 and d 5,respectively.Escalating doses(30,60,100 and 200μg/kg)of PEG rhG-CSF were investigated.Results:A total of 26 patients were enrolled and received chemotherapy,in which 24 and 18 patients entered cycle 2 and cycle 3 treatment,respectively.In cycle 2,the incidence of grade 3 or 4 neutropenia for patients receiving single-dose PEG rhG-CSF of 30,60,100 and 200 μg/kg was 66.67%,33.33%,22.22% and 0,respectively,with a median duration less than 1(0–2)d.No grade 3 or higher neutropenia was noted in cycle 3 in all dose cohorts.Conclusions:The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of PEG rhG-CSF used in cancer patients were similar to those reported,as well as the safety.Double half dose administration model showed better efficacy result than a single dose model in terms of grade 3 neutropenia and above.The single dose of 60 μg/kg,100 μg/kg and double half dose of 30 μg/kg were recommended to the phase Ⅱ study,hoping to find a preferable method for neutropenia treatment.展开更多

The process of OA-PC was optimized and the type and proportion of fumed silica were studied by dissolution text. The structures of the phospholipid complex and solidified powder were also characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscope. In the dissolution tests, OA from solidified powder was further released compared with that from pure OA and OA-PC in different kinds of dissolution media. These results suggest that the method of preparing solidified powder of oleanolic acid–phospholipid complex is suitable for enhancing the dissolution rate of OA and OA-PC.展开更多

After the implementation of thetargeted poverty alleviation policy in China, someresults have shown positive. However, due to theshortage of resources and talents for poverty alleviation,there are still some shortcomings in the targeted povertyalleviation work. In the process of targeted povertyalleviation, if we can promote social work to participatein targeted poverty alleviation and use a wider rangeof social forces to provide more professional andtargeted assistance work for the poor, we will achievethe final sprint for the success of targeted povertyalleviation in China and a well-off society. Based onthe actual situation of China’s current targeted povertyalleviation work, this article takes the relationship andcontent of rural social work in Sichuan Province aspart of the targeted poverty alleviation as well as thedifficulties it faces. The analysis focuses on the pathof rural social work in Sichuan Province to targetedpoverty alleviation and aims to provide more referencesuggestions for targeted poverty alleviation in China.展开更多

However, Pb always coexists with other metals in soil, their competitive reactions with phosphates have not been tested. In this study, the abilities of KHzPO4, K2HPO4, and K3PO4 to stabilize Pb, Zn, and Cd in soils contaminated with a single metal or a ternary metal for different phosphorus/metal molar ratios were investigated. Results indicated that the stabilization efficiency of KH2PO4, K2HPO4, and K3PO4 for Pb, Zn, and Cd in single metal contaminated soil (P/M ratio 0.6) was 96.00%-98.74%, 33.76%-47.81%, and 9.50%-55.79%, respectively. Competitive stabilization occurred in the ternary system, Pb exhibited a strong competition, the stabilization efficiency of Zn and Cd reduced by 23.50%- 31.64%, and 7.10%--39.26%, respectively. Pyromorphite and amorphous lead phosphate formed with excess KH2PO4 or K2HPO4 addition, while K3PO4 resulted in the formation of a hydroxypyr- omorphite precipitate. Amorphous Zn and Cd phosphates and hydroxides were the primary products. The immobilization rate of Zn and Cd depends on pH, and increased significantly in response to the excess phosphate application. This approach provides insight into phosphate-induced differences in stabilization efficiency in soils contaminated with multiple metals, which is of theoretical and engineering significance.展开更多

文摘Machine learning has become a crucial technique for classifying the morphology of galaxies as a result of the meteoric development of galactic data.Unfortunately,traditional supervised learning has significant learning costs since it needs a lot of labeled data to be effective.FixMatch,a semi-supervised learning algorithm that serves as a good method,is now a key tool for using large amounts of unlabeled data.Nevertheless,the performance degrades significantly when dealing with large,imbalanced data sets since FixMatch relies on a fixed threshold to filter pseudo-labels.Therefore,this study proposes a dynamic threshold alignment algorithm based on the FixMatch model.First,the class with the highest amount has its reliable pseudo-label ratio determined,and the remaining classes'reliable pseudo-label ratios are approximated in accordance.Second,based on the predicted reliable pseudo-label ratio for each category,it dynamically calculates the threshold for choosing pseudo-labels.By employing this dynamic threshold,the accuracy bias of each category is decreased and the learning of classes with less samples is improved.Experimental results show that in galaxy morphology classification tasks,compared with supervised learning,the proposed algorithm significantly improves performance.When the amount of labeled data is 100,the accuracy and F1-score are improved by 12.8%and 12.6%,respectively.Compared with popular semisupervised algorithms such as FixMatch and MixMatch,the proposed algorithm has better classification performance,greatly reducing the accuracy bias of each category.When the amount of labeled data is 1000,the accuracy of cigar-shaped smooth galaxies with the smallest sample is improved by 37.94%compared to FixMatch.

文摘Four kinds of nitroamine propellants with different RDX contents(10%,20%,30%and 40%)were prepared to study the effect of RDX content on the mechanical properties and combustion properties of nitroamine propellant.The mechanical properties and combustion properties of nitroamine propellant at the normal temperature(20C)and low temperature(à40C)were test by using impact testing machine,drop hammer impact test machine and closed bomb vessel.The test results show that the impact strength of30%RDX-contained nitramine propellant is maximum,but 40%RDX-contained nitramine propellant has the minimum impact strength.And the crushing height of propellant with 20%RDX-contained was the highest,but the crushing height of propellant with 40%RDX-contained the lowest.With the increase in RDX content in nitramine propellant,the energy of nitramine propellant increases and its burning rate reduces,but 40%RDX-contained nitramine propellant did not meet this trend at the low temperature because of its poor mechanical properties.
文摘The purpose of this study was to prepare the oleanolic acid–phospholipid complex (OAPC) and then solidify it employing fumed silica by simple solvent evaporation technique to improve dissolution rate of oleanolic acid and oleanolic acid–phospholipid complex. The process of OA-PC was optimized and the type and proportion of fumed silica were studied by dissolution text. The structures of the phospholipid complex and solidified powder were also characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscope. In the dissolution tests, OA from solidified powder was further released compared with that from pure OA and OA-PC in different kinds of dissolution media. These results suggest that the method of preparing solidified powder of oleanolic acid–phospholipid complex is suitable for enhancing the dissolution rate of OA and OA-PC.

文摘Conspecific seagrass living in differing environments may develop different root system acclimation patterns.We applied X-ray computed tomography(CT)for imaging and quantifying roots systems of Zostera japonica collected from typical oligotrophic and eutrophic sediments in two coastal sites of northern China,and determined sediment physicochemical properties that might influence root system morphology,density,and distribution.The trophic status of sediments had little influence on the Z.japonica root length,and diameters of root and rhizome.However,Z.japonica in oligotrophic sediment developed the root system with longer rhizome node,deeper rhizome distribution,and larger allocation to below-ground tissues in order to acquire more nutrients and relieve the N deficiency.And the lower root and rhizome densities of Z.japonica in eutrophic sediment were mainly caused by fewer shoots and shorter longevity,which was resulted from the more serious sulfide inhibition.Our results systematically revealed the effect of sediment trophic status on the phenotypic plasticity,quantity,and distribution of Z.japonica root system,and demonstrated the feasibly of X-ray CT in seagrass root system research.

文摘Obvious spatiotemporal heterogeneity is a distinct characteristic of ecosystems in subtropical bays.To aid targeted management and ecological restoration in long and narrow semi-enclosed subtropical bays,we analyzed seasonal and regional differences in long-term changes(1980-2019)in the biomass and abundance of large mesozooplankton(LMZ;>505μm)in Xiangshan Bay,Zhejiang,China.We found spatiotemporal heterogeneity in the historical changes of LMZ.Significant negative trends in LMZ biomass were found in the inner and middle bay during the warm season(summer and autumn),when the nutrient concentration(especially dissolved inorganic nitrogen)and temperature increased simultaneously.Nutrient changes in Xiangshan Bay began in the late 1980s or early 1990s,coinciding with large-scale fish cage development.A rapid decline in LMZ biomass occurred after 2005 when power plants commenced operation,accelerating the warming trend.Therefore,the joint stress of eutrophication and warming likely precipitated the decline in LMZ biomass.Conversely,a significant increase in LMZ biomass was found in the outer bay in spring.This trend was consistent with the trend of LMZ biomass near the Changjiang(Yangtze)River estuary,which indicates that the pelagic ecosystem in the outer bay was aff ected by water from the Changjiang River estuary during spring.Based on our results,ecosystem management and restoration in semi-enclosed subtropical bays should focus on internal waters,which have a poor capacity for water exchange.For Xiangshan Bay,the changes in the Changjiang River estuary ecosystem during the cold season(winter and spring)should also be considered.

文摘The targeted poverty alleviation policy isone of the important methods to solve the problemof poverty in China. After the implementation of thetargeted poverty alleviation policy in China, someresults have shown positive. However, due to theshortage of resources and talents for poverty alleviation,there are still some shortcomings in the targeted povertyalleviation work. In the process of targeted povertyalleviation, if we can promote social work to participatein targeted poverty alleviation and use a wider rangeof social forces to provide more professional andtargeted assistance work for the poor, we will achievethe final sprint for the success of targeted povertyalleviation in China and a well-off society. Based onthe actual situation of China’s current targeted povertyalleviation work, this article takes the relationship andcontent of rural social work in Sichuan Province aspart of the targeted poverty alleviation as well as thedifficulties it faces. The analysis focuses on the pathof rural social work in Sichuan Province to targetedpoverty alleviation and aims to provide more referencesuggestions for targeted poverty alleviation in China.

文摘Phosphates can cost-effectively decrease the mobility of Pb in contaminated soils. However, Pb always coexists with other metals in soil, their competitive reactions with phosphates have not been tested. In this study, the abilities of KHzPO4, K2HPO4, and K3PO4 to stabilize Pb, Zn, and Cd in soils contaminated with a single metal or a ternary metal for different phosphorus/metal molar ratios were investigated. Results indicated that the stabilization efficiency of KH2PO4, K2HPO4, and K3PO4 for Pb, Zn, and Cd in single metal contaminated soil (P/M ratio 0.6) was 96.00%-98.74%, 33.76%-47.81%, and 9.50%-55.79%, respectively. Competitive stabilization occurred in the ternary system, Pb exhibited a strong competition, the stabilization efficiency of Zn and Cd reduced by 23.50%- 31.64%, and 7.10%--39.26%, respectively. Pyromorphite and amorphous lead phosphate formed with excess KH2PO4 or K2HPO4 addition, while K3PO4 resulted in the formation of a hydroxypyr- omorphite precipitate. Amorphous Zn and Cd phosphates and hydroxides were the primary products. The immobilization rate of Zn and Cd depends on pH, and increased significantly in response to the excess phosphate application. This approach provides insight into phosphate-induced differences in stabilization efficiency in soils contaminated with multiple metals, which is of theoretical and engineering significance.

文摘Ocean fronts play important roles in nutrient transport and in the shaping ecological patterns.Frontal zones in small bays are typically small in scale,have a complex structure,and they are spatially and temporally variable,but there are limited data on how biological communities respond to this variation.Hangzhou Bay,a mediumsized estuary in China,is an ideal place in which to study the response of plankton to small-scale ocean fronts,because three water masses(Qiantang River Diluted Water,Changjiang River Diluted Water,and the East China Sea current) converge here and form dynamic salinity fronts throughout the year.We investigate zooplankton communities,and temperature,salinity and chlorophyll a(Chl a) in Hangzhou Bay in June(wet perio d) and December(dry period) of 2022 and examine the dominant environmental factors that affect zooplankton community spatial variability.We then match the spatial distributions of zooplankton communities with those of salinity fronts.S alinity is the most important explanatory variable to affect zooplankton community spatial variability during both wet and dry periods,in that it contributes>60% of the variability in community structure.Furthermore,the spatial distributions of zooplankton match well with salinity fronts.During December,with weaker Qiantang River Diluted Water and a stronger secondary Changjiang River Plume,zooplankton communities occur in moderate salinity(MS,salinity range 15.6±2.2) and high salinity(HS,22.4±1.7) regions,and their ecological boundaries closely match the Qiantang River Diluted Water front.In June,different zooplankton communities occur in low salinity(LS,3.9±1.0),MS(11.7±3.6) and HS(21.3±1.9) regions.Although the LS region occurs abnormally in the central bay rather than its apex because of the anomalous influence of rising and falling tides during the sampling perio d,the ecological boundaries still match salinity interfaces.Low-salinity or brackish-water zooplankter taxa are relatively more abundant in LS or MS regions,and the biomass and abundance of zooplankton is higher in the MS region.

文摘Sensitivity analysis is a valuable method for evaluating the impact of model parameters on health risk characterization,thereby supporting the prediction of critical uncertainty factors.However,limitations arise in terms of cross-disciplinary discussions and in-depth analyses of previous research.To overcome these limitations,a systematic and multifaceted approach was introduced for analyzing the parameter sensitivities in soil contamination risk assessment.This approach specifically targeted the 12 main parameters associated with 65 soil contaminants for health risk assessment,employing detailed authoritative statistics for risk assessment.Screening analysis revealed that identified heavy metals and organics were influenced by key parameters,such as PM_(10),body weight of adults(BW_(a)),daily air inhalation rate of adults(DAIR_(a)),air exchange rate(ER),and typical soil parameters.PM_(10) showed a positive 100%correlation with inorganics and metals,but BW_(a) and DAIR_(a) exhibited different impacts on different chemicals,with an increase in potential risk observed with higher BW_(a) and lower DAIR_(a).Furthermore,incorporating soil parameters in the analysis showed that compact soil could improve the protection against vapor organic compounds for human health.This refined study presents a comprehensive strategy for sensitivity analysis in health risk assessment of soil contamination,thereby offering substantial support for the protection and preservation of human health.A logical framework also was provided for addressing the limitations of sensitivity analysis and facilitating an understanding of the complex relationships between model parameters and the health risk of soil contamination.
