Cooperative UAV search strategy based on DMPC-AACO algorithm in restricted communication scenarios

Improvement of integrated battlefield situational awareness in complex environments involving dynamic factors such as restricted communications and electromagnetic interference(EMI)has become a contentious research problem.In certain mission environments,due to the impact of many interference sources on real-time communication or mission requirements such as the need to implement communication regulations,the mission stages are represented as a dynamic combination of several communication-available and communication-unavailable stages.Furthermore,the data interaction between unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)can only be performed in specific communication-available stages.Traditional cooperative search algorithms cannot handle such situations well.To solve this problem,this study constructed a distributed model predictive control(DMPC)architecture for a collaborative control of UAVs and used the Voronoi diagram generation method to re-plan the search areas of all UAVs in real time to avoid repetition of search areas and UAV collisions while improving the search efficiency and safety factor.An attention mechanism ant-colony optimization(AACO)algorithm is proposed for UAV search-control decision planning.The search strategy is adaptively updated by introducing an attention mechanism for regular instruction information,a priori information,and emergent information of the mission to satisfy different search expectations to the maximum extent.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves better search performance than traditional algorithms in restricted communication constraint scenarios.

酶-金属单原子复合催化剂在一锅法生物-化学反应的应用

酶催化与金属单原子催化结合,理论上可开发众多新的绿色化学合成反应,是催化科学的一个重要研究前沿方向.酶-金属单原子复合催化剂兼具酶和金属单原子催化剂的高效、高立体选择性等优点.目前已成功构建的单原子分散金属催化剂的载体一般为刚性的无机载体,利用柔性蛋白分子作为载体制备单原子分散金属催化剂的技术瓶颈问题在于蛋白分子具有柔性、构象易变的特点,并且氨基酸残基与金属原子之间的相互作用力较弱,蛋白分子表面的氨基酸残基难以与金属单原子稳定结合.针对这样一个关键技术瓶颈问题,我们建立了酶-金属单原子复合催化剂的光化学合成方法.本文研究酶-金属单原子复合催化剂在生物-化学一锅级联反应合成联苯类手性醇中的催化性能.联苯类手性醇是手性药物的重要中间体,通常通过多步化学法或生物-化学级联法制备.相比于多步化学法,利用生物-化学级联反应制备联苯类手性化合物具有反应条件温和、选择性高、环境友好等优点.采用光化学法合成脂肪酶-钯单原子复合催化剂(Pd_(1)/CALB-Pluronic),通过球差矫正扫描透射电镜和扩展X射线吸收精细结构表征复合催化剂的形貌.首先研究了Pd_(1)/CALB-Pluronic复合催化剂中单原子分散Pd催化的C-C偶联反应催化效率,然后考察了它在生物-化学一锅级联反应中的催化性能;发现该催化剂在C-C偶联反应中具有比常用的Pd均相催化剂和Pd非均相催化剂更好的活性.在碘苯和苯乙炔的Sonogashira反应中,Pd_(1)/CALB-Pluronic的TOF值大于均相催化剂Pd(PPh3)4,是多相商业催化剂Pd/C的3.5倍.Pd_(1)/CALB-Pluronic重复使用10次后,活性仍保留97%,具有很好的稳定性.通过DFT计算分析催化反应路径,提出了Pd_(1)/CALB-Pluronic复合催化剂的2价Pd单原子在Sonogashira反应中可能存在Pd^(Ⅱ)/Pd^(Ⅳ)催化机理.本文开发了(R)-1-(4-联苯)乙醇的生物-化学一锅级联反应合成新路线:Pd_(1)/CALB-Pluronic复合催化剂在30℃的水溶液中催化(±)-1-(4-溴苯基)乙酸乙酯和苯硼酸反应生成(R)-1-(4-联苯)乙醇.在该过程中,CALB催化的立体选择性水解反应和Pd单原子催化的C-C偶联反应同时进行.其中,CALB催化(±)-1-(4-溴苯基)乙酸乙酯中的R型异构体水解为(R)-1-(4-溴苯基)乙醇,Pd单原子催化(R)-1-(4-溴苯基)乙醇与苯硼酸进行Suzuki反应生成(R)-1-(4-联苯)乙醇.Pd_(1)/CALB-Pluronic复合催化剂在30 oC下催化生物-化学一锅级联反应合成(R)-1-(4-联苯)乙醇,其催化效率是商业催化剂Pd/C和CALB-Pluronic催化剂组合的31.3倍.

Decitabine induces IRF7-mediated immune responses in p53-mutated triple-negative breast cancer:a clinical and translational study

p53 is mutated in half of cancer cases.However,no p53-targeting drugs have been approved.Here,we reposition decitabine for triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC),a subtype with frequent p53 mutations and extremely poor prognosis.In a retrospective study on tissue microarrays with 132 TNBC cases,DNMT1 overexpression was associated with p53 mutations(P=0.037)and poor overall survival(OS)(P=0.010).In a prospective DEciTabinE and Carboplatin in TNBC(DETECT)trial(NCT03295552),decitabine with carboplatin produced an objective response rate(ORR)of 42%in 12 patients with stage IV TNBC.Among the 9 trialed patients with available TP53 sequencing results,the 6 patients with p53 mutations had higher ORR(3/6 vs.0/3)and better OS(16.0 vs.4.0 months)than the patients with wild-type p53.In a mechanistic study,isogenic TNBC cell lines harboring DETECT-derived p53 mutations exhibited higher DNMT1 expression and decitabine sensitivity than the cell line with wild-type p53.In the DETECT trial,decitabine induced strong immune responses featuring the striking upregulation of the innate immune player IRF7 in the p53-mutated TNBC cell line(upregulation by 16-fold)and the most responsive patient with TNBC.Our integrative studies reveal the potential of repurposing decitabine for the treatment of p53-mutated TNBC and suggest IRF7 as a potential biomarker for decitabine-based treatments.

Pd单原子/团簇高效催化铃木偶联反应

铃木偶联反应是合成聚烯烃、苯乙烯和联苯衍生物等功能性有机化合物的有力工具,广泛应用于精细化工、制药和生化工业领域.钯(Pd)基催化剂是目前性能最好的铃木偶联反应催化剂,但钯的低丰度和高成本限制了其大规模应用.因此,提高Pd原子的利用效率,降低Pd用量至关重要.减小金属纳米粒子的尺寸,使其成为小团簇甚至孤立的金属原子是实现金属原子高利用率的有效方法之一.此外,与纳米晶体相比,高度分散的Pd原子和具有低配位和不饱和构型的亚纳米团簇可能会导致催化活性位点数量增加,进而提升Pd基催化剂的性能.然而,高表面自由能使得合成高度分散的Pd单原子和亚纳米团簇变得困难,因此,如何制备具有优异铃木偶联反应催化性能的Pd单原子/团簇催化剂是一个极具挑战性的课题.本文开发了一种溶液快速退火(SRA)工艺来稳定氮掺杂介孔碳负载的Pd单原子/团簇(Pd/NMC),制得的催化剂表现出较好的催化铃木偶联反应性能.透射电子显微镜结果表明,所制Pd/NMC催化剂中Pd以单原子和小金属团簇(粒径为0.3-1.1 nm)的形式高度分散在氮掺杂介孔碳载体的表面;X射线衍射结果表明,该催化剂没有与Pd相关的衍射峰,进一步证明了Pd以单原子和小金属团簇,而非纳米晶的形式存在.这得益于SRA工艺创造的不平衡热条件,抑制了Pd原子的团聚,提高了Pd原子在载体表面的分散性.与商业Pd/C催化剂相比,Pd/NMC催化剂对氯苯的铃木偶联反应表现出更好的催化性能(100%的选择性和95%的产率)和稳定性(循环使用10次后活性几乎没有衰减),此外对其他衍生物底物同样表现出较好的催化性能.第一性原理计算表明,在Pd(111)上联苯解吸的吉布斯自由能为3.24 eV,显著高于Pd_(1)/NMC(0.72 eV)和Pd_(13)/NMC(1.31 eV),在理论上同样证明了与Pd纳米颗粒相比,Pd单原子/团簇催化剂更有利于反应物的转化.此外,本文新开发的前驱体SRA工艺可被用作稳定金属团簇(例如Pd、Pt、Ru)的通用方法,为构建高效、高度分散的金属原子和亚纳米团簇催化剂提供了新的可能性.

Bayesian optimal design of step stress accelerated degradation testing

This study presents a Bayesian methodology for de- signing step stress accelerated degradation testing （SSADT） and its application to batteries. First, the simulation-based Bayesian de- sign framework for SSADT is presented. Then, by considering his- torical data, specific optimal objectives oriented Kullback-Leibler （KL） divergence is established. A numerical example is discussed to illustrate the design approach. It is assumed that the degrada- tion model （or process） follows a drift Brownian motion; the accele- ration model follows Arrhenius equation; and the corresponding parameters follow normal and Gamma prior distributions. Using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo （MCMC） method and WinBUGS software, the comparison shows that KL divergence is better than quadratic loss for optimal criteria. Further, the effect of simulation outiiers on the optimization plan is analyzed and the preferred sur- face fitting algorithm is chosen. At the end of the paper, a NASA lithium-ion battery dataset is used as historical information and the KL divergence oriented Bayesian design is compared with maxi- mum likelihood theory oriented locally optimal design. The results show that the proposed method can provide a much better testing plan for this engineering application.

Experimental Research on Toluene Degradation in Plasma as the Driving Force of Nanomaterials

Plasma technology has some shortcomings, such as higher energy consumption and byproducts produced in the reaction process. However non-thermal plasma associated with catalyst can resolve these problems. So this kind of technology was paid more and more attention to treat waste gas. In this paper, we make use of this technology to decompose toluene under different electric field and packed materials. At the same time, the mechanism of toluene decomposition using plasma and catalyst is discussed. The experimental results show toluene decomposition increases with electric field strength increasing and flow velocity and initial concentration decreasing. There are four conditions in plasma: without packed materials (1);with packed materials (2);with BaTiO3 in the surfaces of packed materials (3);and with nanometer Ba0.8Sr0.2Zr0.1Ti0.9O3 (4). Toluene decomposition represents a obvious trend, that is, η(4) > η(3) > η(2) > η(1). The best decomposition efficiency of toluene arrives at 95%.

Photoinhibition of Leaves with Different Photosynthetic Carbon Assimilation Characteristics in Maize (<i>Zea mays</i>)

Strong light decreases the rate of photosynthesis and assimilates production of crop plants. Plants with different carbon reduction cycles respond differently to strong light stress. However, variation in photoinhibition in leaves with different photosynthetic characteristics in maize is not clear. In this experiment, we used the first leaves (with an incomplete C4 cycle) and fifth leaves (with a complete C4 cycle) of maize plants as well as the fifth leaves (C3 cycle) of tobacco plants as a reference to measure the photosynthetic rate (PN) and chlorophyll a parameters under strong light stress. During treatment, PN, the maximal fluorescence (Fm), the maximal quantum yield of PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm), and the number of active photosystem II (PSII) reaction centers per excited cross-section (RC/CSm) declined dramatically in all three types of leaves but to different degrees. PN, Fm, Fv/Fm, and RC/CSm were less inhibited by strong light in C4 leaves. The results showed that maize C4 leaves with higher rates of photosynthesis are more tolerant to strong light stress than incomplete C4 leaves, and the carbon reduction cycle is more important to photoprotection in C4 leaves, while state transition is critical in incomplete C4 leaves.

An Empirical Study of the Influence of Migrant Workers' Individual Decisions concerning "Change from Rural Residents to Urban Residents" in Chongqing City

This paper,from the city integration perspective,analyzes the main beneficiaries who benefit from the household registration system reform,and studies the influence of individual decisions about the transfer from agriculture to non-agriculture. Based on it,this paper makes an empirical research by using the survey data about migrant workers in Chongqing. The research findings are as follows:( i) The urban employment,the living condition and the rural connection have a significant impact on migrant workers' transfer decision;( ii) If the value of those factors( such as the working stability,the family income,the urban house condition and the urban social security) is higher,then the migrant workers who have no economic interest in rural areas are better able to integrate into the urban areas,therefore the inclination to transfer the household registration from agriculture to non-agriculture will be much stronger. It is proposed that we should do some significant things,such as enhancing the investment of security housing,bringing the migrant workers into the city housing accumulation fund system and giving them prior allocation right,perfecting land elastic exit mechanism,creating a harmonious employment environment,which are important strategies promoting migrant workers to integrate into the urban areas and affecting their individual decision about transferring from agriculture to nonagriculture.

Urbanization and Grain Production Efficiency

Based on DEA-Malmquist method,this paper calculated the integrated technology efficiency of grain production and total factor productivity and analyzed factors influencing the grain production technology efficiency using working documents of panel structure. Research results indicate that grain production integrated technology efficiency of China is relatively low,technology utilization level is low,and it remains at the stage of decreasing returns to scale,and the pure technology efficiency still has space to increase. Total factor productivity is declining and the total factor productivity of many provinces is relatively low. Since the total factor productivity of eastern areas is higher than central and western areas,it is required to strengthen technological support for grain production. The implementation of urbanization is helpful for promoting increase of grain production technology efficiency in central and eastern areas,but it will exert negative influence on western areas.

PRRSV degrades MDA5 via dual autophagy receptors P62 and CCT2 to evade antiviral innate immunity

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV)is a major economically devastating pathogen that has evolved various strategies to evade innate immunity.Downregulation of antiviral interferon largely promotes PRRSV immunoevasion by utilizing cytoplasmic melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5(MDA5),a receptor that senses viral RNA.In this study,the downregulated transcription and expression levels of porcine MDA5 in PRRSV infection were observed,and the detailed mechanisms were explored.We found that the interaction between P62 and MDA5 is enhanced due to two factors:the phosphorylation modification of the autophagic receptor P62 by the upregulated kinase CK2αand the K63 ubiquitination of porcine MDA5 catalyzed by the E3 ubiquitinase TRIM21 in PRRSV-infected cells.As a result of these modifications,the classic P62-mediated autophagy is triggered.Additionally,porcine MDA5 interacts with the chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 2(CCT2),which is enhanced by PRRSV nsp3.This interaction promotes the aggregate formation and autophagic clearance of MDA5-CCT2-nsp3 independently of ubiquitination.In summary,enhanced MDA5 degradation occurs in PRRSV infection via two autophagic pathways:the binding of MDA5 with the autophagy receptor P62 and the aggrephagy receptor CCT2,leading to intense innate immune suppression.The research reveals a novel mechanism of immune evasion in PRRSV infection and provides fundamental insights for the development of new vaccines or therapeutic strategies.

Deep learning-based fall detection using commodity Wi-Fi

As the phenomenon of an aging population gradually becomes common worldwide,the pressure on the elderly has seen a notable increase.To address this challenge,fall detection systems are important in ensuring the safety of the elderly population,particularly those living alone.Wi-Fi sensing,as a privacy-preserving method of perception,can be deployed indoors for detecting human activities such as falls,based on the reflective properties of electromagnetic waves.Signals generated by transmitters experience reflections from various objects within indoor environments,leading to distinct propagation paths.These signals eventually aggregate at the receiver,incorporating details about the objects’orientation and their activity states.In this study,within practical experimental environments,we collect dataset and utilize deep learning method to classify the falling events.

Simultaneous quantification of ginsenoside Rg1 and its metabolites by HPLC–MS/MS:Rg1 excretion in rat bile, urine and feces

Ginsenoside Rg1(Rg1), the major effective component of ginseng, has been shown to have multiple bioactivities, but low oral bioavailability. The aim of this study was to develop a simple, sensitive and rapid high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry(LC–MS/MS) method, which could be used to validate and quantify the concentrations of Rg1 and its metabolites in Sprague-Dawley rat bile,urine, and feces after oral administration(25 mg/kg). Calibration curves offered satisfactory linearity(r40.995)within the determined ranges. Both intra-day and inter-day variances were less than 15%, and the accuracy was within 80–120%. The excretion recoveries of Rg1, ginsenoside Rh1(Rh1), and protopanaxatriol(Ppt) in bile,urine, and feces combined were all greater than 70%. The fecal excretion recoveries of Rg1, Rh1, and Ppt were40.11%, 22.19%, and 22.88%, respectively, whereas 6.88% of Rg1 and 0.09% of Rh1 were excreted in bile.Urinary excretion accounted for only 0.04% of Rg1. In conclusion, the observed excretion profiles for Rg1 and its metabolites after oral administration are helpful for understanding the poor oral bioavailability of Rg1 and will aid further investigations of Rg1 as a pharmacologically active component.

The C/EBPβ-Dependent Induction of TFDP2 Facilitates Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Proliferation

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome(PRRS) is an important infectious disease caused by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV), leading to significant economic losses in swine industry worldwide. Although several studies have shown that PRRSV can affect the cell cycle of infected cells, it is still unclear how it manipulates the cell cycle to facilitate its proliferation. In this study, we analyzed the mRNA expression profiles of transcription factors in PRRSV-infected 3D4/21 cells by RNA-sequencing. The result shows that the expression of transcription factor DP2(TFDP2) is remarkably upregulated in PRRSV-infected cells. Further studies show that TFDP2 contributes to PRRSV proliferation and the PRRSV nucleocapsid(N) protein induces TFDP2 expression by activating C/EBPb. TFDP2 positively regulates cyclin A expression and triggers a less proportion of cells in the S phase, which contributes to PRRSV proliferation. This study proposes a novel mechanism by which PRRSV utilizes host protein to regulate the cell cycle to favor its infection. Findings from this study will help us for a better understanding of PRRSV pathogenesis.

Monetary policy, financial development and the financing of zombie firms: evidence from China

This paper examines the financing channels for zombie firms in China.We find that equity markets and suppliers provide substan-tial financing support for zombie firms,while banks and other financing channels are less important.We also find that the amount of investment does not increase accordingly after zombie firms obtain external financing,which indicates an inefficient use of funds by these zombie firms.Our results are robust to various definitions of zombie firms,and also to a propensity score match-ing method.

GMP-quadruplex-based hydrogels stabilized by lanthanide ions

This work describes the gelation behaviors and properties of a biological molecule, guanosine 5′-monophosphate disodium salt(GMP), in the presence of trivalent lanthanide ions. Hydrogels composed of GMP-quadruplexes were prepared by adjusting p H,through which the protonation of phosphate group was controlled to tune the interactions between lanthanide ions and GMP.Within the p H region of 2–6, the electrostatic interaction between lanthanide ions and phosphate group is hindered and the cation-dipole interaction acts as the main driving force for the formation of G-quadruplexes. All the hydrogels were found consisting of three-dimensional network of the intertwining one-dimensional nanofibers formed by the stacking G-quartets induced by lanthanide ions. A significant fluorescence enhancement of thioflavin T(Th T), a fluorescent molecule, was found to be triggered by the G-quadruplex structures, for which the rotation of chromophoric groups on Th T molecules were prohibited due to the implant into the G-quadruplex structures.

Frequency-doubled vortex beam emitter based on nonlinear Cherenkov radiation

In this work, we propose a new scheme to generate frequency-doubled vortex beams from a radially poled Li Nb O3 micro-ring resonator based on nonlinear Cherenkov radiation. The near-infrared fundamental wave is resonant in the micro-ring, while the second harmonic is emitted from the resonator along the Cherenkov phase-matching direction. The topological charge of the emitted second-harmonic vortex beam is determined by both the azimuthal order of the whispering galley modes and the number of nonlinear grating elements. The field distribution and the conversion efficiency of the emitted vortex beam are investigated.

Efficient 671 nm red light generation in annealed proton-exchanged periodically poled LiNbO3 waveguides

We report efficient generation of 671 nm red light based on quasi-phase-matched second harmonic generation of 1342 nm in LiNbO3 waveguides. The design method and fabrication process of the high-quality annealed protonexchanged periodically poled channel waveguides were presented. A continuous-wave 1.71 mW red light was obtained with a single-pass conversion efficiency of 47%·W-1·cm-2, which is 88% that of the theoretical value.While for 1 mW quasi-continuous-laser input, the corresponding peak power being 2 W, the conversion efficiency reached up to 60%. Our results indicate that the annealed proton-exchanged periodically poled LiNbO3 waveguide is promising for high-efficiency and low power consumption nonlinear generation of visible light.
