Propofol inhibits inflammation and lipid peroxidation following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in rabbits

The present study established a rabbit model of global cerebral ischemia using the ＇six-vessel＇ method,which was reperfused after 30 minutes of ischemia.Rabbits received intravenous injection of propofol at 5 mg/kg prior to ischemia and 20 mg/kg per hour after ischemia until samples were prepared.Results revealed that propofol inhibited serum interleukin-8,endothelin-1 and malondialdehyde increases and promoted plasma superoxide dismutase activity after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.In addition,cerebral cortex edema was attenuated with little neuronal nuclear degeneration and pyknosis with propofol treatment.The cross-sectional area of neuronal nuclei was,however,increased following propofol treatment.These findings suggested that propofol could improve anti-oxidant activity and inhibit synthesis of inflammatory factors to exert a protective effect on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Crustal structure and variation along the southern part of the Kyushu-Palau Ridge

As an interoceanic arc,the Kyushu-Palau Ridge(KPR)is an exceptional place to study the subduction process and related magmatism through its interior velocity structure.However,the crustal structure and its nature of the KPR,especially the southern part with limited seismic data,are still in mystery.In order to unveil the crustal structure of the southern part of the KPR,this study uses deep reflection/refraction seismic data recorded by 24 ocean bottom seismometers to reconstruct a detailed P-wave velocity model along the ridge.Results show strong alongridge variations either on the crustal velocity or the thickness of the KPR.P-wave velocity model is featured with(1)a crustal thickness between 6–12 km,with velocity increases from 4.0 km/s to 7.0 km/s from top to bottom;(2)high gradient(~1 s^(-1))in the upper crust but low one(<0.2 s^(-1))in the lower crust;(3)a slow mantle velocity between 7.2 km/s and 7.6 km/s in the uppermost mantle;and(4)inhomogenous velocity anomalies in the lower crust beneath seamounts.By comparing with the mature arc in the Izu-Bonin-Mariana arc in the east,this study suggests the southern part of KPR is a thicken oceanic crust rather than a typical arc crust.The origin of low velocities in the lower crust and upper mantle may be related with crustal differentiation,which implies advanced crustal evolution from normal oceanic crust to partly thicken oceanic crust.High velocities in the lower crust are related to the difference in magmatism.

Application of Optimal-Jerk Trajectory Planning in Gait-balance Training Robot

To accommodate the gait and balance disorder of the elderly with age progression and the occurrence of various senile diseases,this paper proposes a novel gait balance training robot(G-Balance)based on a six degree-of-freedom parallel platform.Using the platform movement and IMU wearable sensors,two training modes,i.e.,active and passive,are developed to achieve vestibular stimulation.Virtual reality technology is applied to achieve visual stimulation.In the active training mode,the elderly actively exercises to control the posture change of the platform and the switching of the virtual scene.In the passive training mode,the platform movement is combined with the virtual scene to simulate bumpy environments,such as earthquakes,to enhance the human anti-interference ability.To achieve a smooth switching of the scene,continuous speed and acceleration of the platform motion are required in some scenarios,in which a trajectory planning algorithm is applied.This paper describes the application of the trajectory planning algorithm in the balance training mode and the optimization of jerk(differential of acceleration)based on cubic spline planning,which can reduce impact on the joint and enhance stability.

Oceanic crustal structure and tectonic origin of the southern Kyushu-Palau Ridge in the Philippine Sea

A new high-resolution velocity model of the southern Kyushu-Palau Ridge(KPR) was derived from an activesource wide-angle seismic reflection/refraction profile. The result shows that the KPR crust can be divided into the upper crust with the P-wave velocity less than 6.1 m/s, and lower crust with P-wave velocity between 6.1 km/s and 7.2 km/s. The crustal thickness of the KPR reaches 12.0 km in the center, which gradually decreases to 5.0–6.0 km at sides. The velocity structure of the KPR is similar to the structures of the adjacent West Philippine Basin and Parece Vela Basin(PVB), indicating a typical oceanic crust. Isostatic analysis shows that some regional compensation occurs during the loading of the KPR, which implies that the KPR was built mainly by magmatism during the splitting of the Izu-Bonin-Mariana arc and the following back-arc seafloor spreading of the PVB during30–28 Ma BP. The absence of the thick middle crust(6.0–6.5 km/s) and high velocity lower-crustal layers(7.2–7.6 km/s) suggest that arc magmatism plays a less important role in the KPR formation.

An Improved Contract Net Protocol with Multi-Agent for Reservoir Flood Control Dispatch

Contract Net Protocol (CNP) has been widely used in solving the problems of multi-Agent cooperates and reservoir flood control optimization dispatch. This paper designs an Agent functional module based on the multi-Agent coordinated the construction of reservoir flood control optimization dispatch and the corresponding Agent to solve the problem of classical CNP in the Agent communication aspect, to enhance the efficiency of reservoir optimization dispatch and to improve the insufficiency of the classical CNP in the application of reservoir flood control dispatcher. Then, the capacity factor and the cooperation level are introduced in the module. Experiments are conducted on the Agentbuilder simulation platform to simulate reservoir flood control optimization dispatching with the improved CNP. The simulation results show the communication interactive efficiency and the performance of new protocol is superior to those of the classical CNP.

Integrating the geology, seismic attributes, and production of reservoirs to adjust interwell areas: A case from the Mangyshlak Basin of West Kazakhstan

Dynamic models of the seismic,geological,and flow characteristics of a reservoir are the main tool used to evaluate the potential of drilling new infill wells.Static geological models are mainly based on borehole data combined with dynamic analyses of production dynamics.They are used to determine the redevelopment of and adjustments to new drilling locations;however,such models rarely incorporate seismic data.Consequently,it is difficult to control the changes in geological models between wells,which results in the configuration of well positions and predicted results being less than ideal.To improve the development of adjusted areas in terms of their remaining oil contents,we developed a new integrated analysis that combines static sediment modelling,including microfacies analysis(among other reservoir and seismic properties),with production behaviours.Here,we illustrate this new process by(1)establishing favourable areas for static geological analysis;(2)studying well recompletion potential and the condition of non-producing wells;(3)conducting interwell analyses with seismic and sedimentary data;(4)identifying potential sites constrained by seismic and geological studies,as well as initial oilfield production;(5)providing suggestions in a new well development plan.

An Automated Negotiation Protocol Based On Game Theory

With the goal of meeting one-to-many negotiation mechanism in the process of inter-basin water transfer, according to features of all interest subjects in analysis of inter-basin water transfer, a one-to-many synchronous bidding negotiation model based on bidding rules of game theory is structured, which analyzes and negotiates the functions, code of conduct and information expression of each subject. In order to optimize overall interests and individual interests, and a series of parameters in the negotiation, the paper propose various rules corresponding to the negotiation model so that the efficiency of each interest subject and fair distribution of negotiation proceeds can be safeguarded in the inter-basin water transfer system.

Preliminary Results of the Seismicity Monitoring Experiment around the 2019 Mw5.4 Earthquake Epicenter in the Central South China Sea Basin

On September 5,2019,a moderate earthquake of Mw5.4 unexpectedly occurred in the apparently quiescent central basin of the South China Sea.We immediately carried out a seismicity monitoring experiment around the epicenter by using broadband ocean bottom seismometers(OBS)for the following three scientific targets.The first is knowing the earthquake seismogenic mechanism,fault structure and further development.The second is finding the role of the residual spreading ridge playing in earthquake processes and further revealing the deep structures of the ridge directional turning area.The third is confirming the existence and significance of the so called“Zhongnan fault”.This paper reports the preliminary results of the first phase experiment.Five OBSs were deployed for seismicity monitoring with a duration of 288 days,but only three were recovered.Micro-earthquakes were firstly detected by an automatic seismic phase picking algorithm and then were verified by analyzing their seismic phases and time-frequency characteristics in detail.A total of 21,68 and 89 microearthquakes were picked out from the three OBSs respectively within the distance of 30 km.The dominant frequency of these micro-earthquakes is 12-15 Hz,indicating tectonic fracturing.During the first two months after the mainshock the seismicity was relatively stronger,and micro-earthquakes were still occurring occasionally till the end of observation,indicating the epicenter area is active.We used Match&Locate method to locate 57 micro-earthquakes preliminarily.Their spatial distribution shows that the seismicity is developed mainly along the NE direction roughly parallel to the residual ridge with depth variations between 10-20 km.

Advanced modeling of the absorption enhancement of black carbon particles in chamber experiments by considering the morphology and coating thickness

Measurements studies have shown that the absorption of radiation by black carbon(BC)increases as the particles age.However,there are significant discrepancies between the measured and modeled absorption enhancement(E_(abs)),largely due to the simplifications used in modeling the mixing states and shape diversities.We took advantage of chamber experiments on BC aging and developed an efficient method to resolve the particle shape based on the relationship between the coating fraction(ΔD_(ve)/D_(ve),0)and fractal dimension(D_(f)),which can also reflect the variations of D_(f)during the whole BC aging process.BC with externally and partly mixed states(0≤ΔD_(ve)/D_(ve),0≤0.5)can be considered to be uniformly distributed with the D_(f)values of 1.8–2.1,whereas the Df values are constrained in the range 2.2–2.8 for fully mixed states(ΔD_(ve)/D_(ve),0>0.5).The morphological parameters(i.e.,the effective density and the dynamic shape factor)were compared with the measured values to verify the simulated morphology.The simulated mean deviations of morphological parameters were smaller than 8%for the method resolving the particle shape.By applying a realistic shape and refractive index,the mass absorption cross for fully mixed states can be improved by 11%compared with a simplified core–shell model.Based on our understanding of the influence of D_(f)andΔD_(ve)/D_(ve),0 on E_(abs),we propose a two-stage calibration equation to correct the E_(abs)values estimated by the core–shell model,which reduces the simulation error in the Mie calculation by 6%–14%.

Evidence of aircraft activity impact on local air quality: A study in the context of uncommon airport operation

Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (WUH) was suspended to contain the spread of COVID-19,while Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA) saw a tremendousflight reduction.Closure of a major international airport is extremely rare and thus represents a unique opportunity to straightforwardly observe the impact of airport emissions on local air quality.In this study,a series of statistical tools were applied to analyze the variations in air pollutant levels in the vicinity of WUH and SHA.The results of bivariate polar plots show that airport SHA and WUH are a major source of nitrogen oxides.NOx,NO_(2)and NO diminished by 55.8%,44.1%,76.9%,and 40.4%,33.3% and 59.4% during the COVID-19 lockdown compared to those in the same period of 2018 and 2019,under a reduction in aircraft activities by 58.6%and61.4%.The concentration of NO_(2),SO_(2)and PM_(2.5)decreased by 77.3%,8.2%,29.5%,right after the closure of airport WUH on 23 January 2020.The average concentrations of NO,NO_(2)and NOxscatter plots at downwind of SHA after the lockdown were 78.0%,47.9%,57.4%and 62.3%,34.8%,41.8%lower than those during the same period in 2018 and 2019.However,a significant increase in O_(3)levels by 50.0% and 25.9%at WUH and SHA was observed,respectively.These results evidently show decreased nitrogen oxides concentrations in the airport vicinity due to reduced aircraft activities,while amplified O_(3)pollution due to a lower titration by NO under strong reduction in NOxemissions.

海底地震仪(OBS)广角地震记录中二次震相的识别及应用

在海底地震仪(OBS)记录的广角地震剖面中,经常可识别出能量强,连续性好的多次波震相.在常规OBS数据处理过程中,多次波被作为无效信号剔除,但是作为地下界面的真实反射,多次波同样蕴含着地下构造的重要信息.通过对南海海盆OBS2013-ZN测线地震数据的多次波震相进行处理分析,对多个台站Pg,Pm P和Pn震相的二次震相进行识别.以OBS06和OBS07台站为例,详细阐述了二次震相的辨别和确认过程,准确拾取了二次Pg,Pm P和Pn震相的走时数据.并通过射线追踪模拟,确定其传播路径.最后,在原有P波速度模型基础上,利用走时反演方法将初至震相和二次震相进行联合成像获得新的局部速度结构.结果显示,与初至震相结果相比,浅部沉积层和中深部的壳幔速度结构都有一定程度的变化.该研究有助于充分利用OBS数据,挖掘多次波震相特征,提高地壳结构的成像精细度.

Selective and sensitive fluorescence"turn-on"Zn^2+probes based on combination of anthracene,diphenylamine and dipyrrin

Two fluorescence "turn-on" Zn^(2+) probes were developed by introducing an anthracenyl fluorophore through the linkage of a diphenylamino moiety at the 5-position of a dipyrrin moiety.Thus,two compounds with weak fluorescence were designed,synthesized,and employed as CHEF(chelation enhanced fluorescence) type fluorescence "turn-on" Zn^(2+) probes,which exhibit dramatic fluorescence enhancement upon addition of Zn^(2+),showing high sensitivities and impressive detection limits of 13 and12 nM,respectively,better than their analogues containing simple aryl substituents at the 5 positions of a di-or tripyrrin moiety.In addition,both of the probes exhibit good selectivity,short response time of less than 10 s and wide applicable pH ranges.Furthermore,the weak fluorescence nature of the probes was rationalized based on viscosity dependence measurements and theoretical calculations.These results provide further insight into the development of selective and sensitive zinc probes.
