考虑腐蚀和液舱晃荡影响的养殖水舱结构响应计算

The environment and structure of the tanks used in aquaculture vessels are remarkably different from those of ordinary ships,and the resulting problem of structural strength is related to breeding safety.In this study,a model of aquaculture tank corrosion was constructed by using the multiphysical field coupling analysis software COMSOL Multiphysics,and wave and sloshing loads were calculated on the basis of potential flow theory and computational fluid dynamics.The influence of different calculation methods for corrosion allowance and sloshing load on the structural responses of aquaculture tanks was analyzed.Through our calculations,we found that the corrosion of aquaculture tanks is different from that of ordinary ships.The corrosion allowance in Rules for the Classification of Sea-going Steel Ships is small,and the influence of the aquaculture environment on corrosion can be ignored.Compared with the method set in the relevant rules,our proposed coupling direct calculation method for the structural response calculation of aquaculture tanks can better combine the specific environment of aquaculture tanks and provide more accurate calculations.

0D/1D碳点修饰硫化镉纳米线异质结增强可见光光催化性能（英文）

硫化镉(CdS)作为一种对可见光响应的窄带隙半导体(带隙宽度约为2.4 eV),具有合适的能带位置,近年来受到越来越多的重视.然而在光催化过程中,光生电子与空穴的快速复合极大地限制了CdS的实际应用,如何提高光生电子-空穴对的分离效率成为研究重点.一维CdS纳米棒(1D CdS NWs)具有较大的长径比,能快速有效地转移光生载流子.零维碳点(0D C-dots)是一种粒径在10 nm以下的新型纳米碳材料,其作为助催化剂能够加快光生载流子传递速率,可提高材料光催化性能.因此,通过C-dots对CdS NWs进行修饰并形成异质结,利用C-dots助催化剂的作用以提升CdS NWs的光催化性能,具有一定的可行性.本文成功构建了一种0D/1D碳点修饰CdS NWs异质结(C-dots/CdS NWs),并考察其光催化性能.通过X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和紫外-可见(UV-Vis)吸收光谱等技术对系列C-dots/CdS NWs样品进行表征.研究发现,C-dots成功负载在CdS NWs的表面并形成异质结.通过测试系列样品在可见光照射下光催化降解罗丹明B(RhB)以及光催化产氢性能发现,C-dots的修饰能够有效增强CdS NWs的光催化性能,其中0.4%C-dots/CdS NWs表现出最佳的光催化降解RhB活性,其经可见光照射60 min即可实现对RhB的完全降解(相同条件下CdS NWs需要180 min).同时自由基捕获实验表明,·O_2~–是降解罗丹明B过程中的主要活性基团.在光催化产氢性能测试中,0.4%C-dots/CdS NWs样品表现出最高的光催化产氢能力,产氢速率可达1633.9μmol g^(-1) h^(-1),比纯CdS的(196.9μmol g^(-1) h^(-1))提高了8.3倍,并且C-dots/CdS NWs具有良好的稳定性.研究发现,在可见光照射下,C-dots/CdS NWs能够产生较强的光生电流,且形成的0D/1D C-dots/CdS NWs异质结具有良好的电子传输能力,实现了C-dots/CdS NWs光生电子与空穴的有效分离,从而增强了光催化性能.

Maneuvering Angle Rigid Formations With Global Convergence Guarantees

Angle rigid multi-agent formations can simultaneously undergo translational,rotational,and scaling maneuvering,therefore combining the maneuvering capabilities of both distance and bearing rigid formations.However,maneuvering angle rigid formations in 2D or 3D with global convergence guarantees is shown to be a challenging problem in the existing literature even when relative position measurements are available.Motivated by angle-induced linear equations in 2D triangles and 3D tetrahedra,this paper aims to solve this challenging problem in both 2D and3D under a leader-follower framework.For the 2D case where the leaders have constant velocities,by using local relative position and velocity measurements,a formation maneuvering law is designed for the followers governed by double-integrator dynamics.When the leaders have time-varying velocities,a sliding mode formation maneuvering law is proposed by using the same measurements.For the 3D case,to establish an angle-induced linear equation for each tetrahedron,we assume that all the followers'coordinate frames share a common Z direction.Then,a formation maneuvering law is proposed for the followers to globally maneuver Z-weakly angle rigid formations in 3D.The extension to Lagrangian agent dynamics and the construction of the desired rigid formations by using the minimum number of angle constraints are also discussed.Simulation examples are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

Exponential Set-Point Stabilization of Underactuated Vehicles Moving in Three-Dimensional Space

This paper investigates the stabilization of underactuated vehicles moving in a three-dimensional vector space.The vehicle’s model is established on the matrix Lie group SE(3),which describes the configuration of rigid bodies globally and uniquely.We focus on the kinematic model of the underactuated vehicle,which features an underactuation form that has no sway and heave velocity.To compensate for the lack of these two velocities,we construct additional rotation matrices to generate a motion of rotation coupled with translation.Then,the state feedback is designed with the help of the logarithmic map,and we prove that the proposed control law can exponentially stabilize the underactuated vehicle to the identity group element with an almost global domain of attraction.Later,the presented control strategy is extended to set-point stabilization in the sense that the underactuated vehicle can be stabilized to an arbitrary desired configuration specified in advance.Finally,simulation examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of the stabilization controller.

A case of prostate embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in an adult patient

Prostate embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma(ERMS) is characterized by a high degree of malignancy, both local rapid growth with formation of large pelvic masses, often leading to renal failure due to urethra obstruction, and systemic spread, commonly to the lungs, liver, and bone. ERMS of the prostate is a commonly occurring tumor in infants and children. It is rarely seen in adults. Here, we report on a case of the prostate ERMS in a 27-year-old man.

Exosomes secreted from cardiomyocytes suppress the sensitivity of tumor ferroptosis in ischemic heart failure

Heart failure(HF)patients in general have a higher risk of developing cancer.Several animal studies have indicated that cardiac remodeling and HF remarkably accelerate tumor progression,highlighting a cause-and-effect relationship between these two disease entities.Targeting ferroptosis,a prevailing form of non-apoptotic cell death,has been considered a promising therapeutic strategy for human cancers.Exosomes critically contribute to proximal and distant organ-organ communications and play crucial roles in regulating diseases in a paracrine manner.However,whether exosomes control the sensitivity of cancer to ferroptosis via regulating the cardiomyocyte-tumor cell crosstalk in ischemic HF has not yet been explored.Here,we demonstrate that myocardial infarction(MI)decreased the sensitivity of cancer cells to the canonical ferroptosis activator erastin or imidazole ketone erastin in a mouse model of xenograft tumor.Post-MI plasma exosomes potently blunted the sensitivity of tumor cells to ferroptosis inducers both in vitro in mouse Lewis lung carcinoma cell line LLC and osteosarcoma cell line K7M2 and in vivo with xenograft tumorigenesis model.The expression of miR-22-3p in cardiomyocytes and plasma-exosomes was significantly upregulated in the failing hearts of mice with chronic MI and of HF patients as well.Incubation of tumor cells with the exosomes isolated from post-MI mouse plasma or overexpression of miR-22-3p alone abrogated erastin-induced ferroptotic cell death in vitro.Cardiomyocyte-enriched miR-22-3p was packaged in exosomes and transferred into tumor cells.Inhibition of cardiomyocyte-specific miR-22-3p by AAV9 sponge increased the sensitivity of cancer cells to ferroptosis.ACSL4,a pro-ferroptotic gene,was experimentally established as a target of miR-22-3p in tumor cells.Taken together,our findings uncovered for the first time that MI suppresses erastin-induced ferroptosis through releasing miR-22-3p-enriched exosomes derived from cardiomyocytes.Therefore,targeting exosome-mediated cardiomyocyte/tumor pathological communication may offer a novel approach for the ferroptosis-based antitumor therapy.

Mettl13 protects against cardiac contractile dysfunction by negatively regulating C-Cbl-mediated ubiquitination of SERCA2a in ischemic heart failure

Ischemic heart failure(HF)remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality.Maintaining homeostasis of cardiac function and preventing cardiac remodeling deterioration are critical to halting HF progression.Methyltransferase-like protein 13(Mettl13)has been shown to regulate protein translation efficiency by acting as a protein lysine methyltransferase,but its role in cardiac pathology remains unexplored.This study aims to characterize the roles and mechanisms of Mettl13 in cardiac contractile function and HF.We found that Mettl13 was downregulated in the failing hearts of mice post-myocardial infarction(MI)and in a cellular model of oxidative stress.Cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of Mettl13 mediated by AAV9-Mettl13 attenuated cardiac contractile dysfunction and fibrosis in response to MI,while silencing of Mettl13 impaired cardiac function in normal mice.Moreover,Mettl13 overexpression abrogated the reduction in cell shortening,Ca^(2+)transient amplitude and SERCA2a protein levels in the cardiomyocytes of adult mice with MI.Conversely,knockdown of Mettl13 impaired the contractility of cardiomyocytes,and decreased Ca^(2+)transient amplitude and SERCA2a protein expression in vivo and in vitro.Mechanistically,Mettl13 impaired the stability of c-Cbl by inducing lysine methylation of c-Cbl,which in turn inhibited ubiquitination-dependent degradation of SERCA2a.Furthermore,the inhibitory effects of knocking down Mettl13 on SERCA2a protein expression and Ca^(2+)transients were partially rescued by silencing c-Cbl in H_(2)O_(2)-treated cardiomyocytes.In conclusion,our study uncovers a novel mechanism that involves the Mettl13/c-Cbl/SERCA2a axis in regulating cardiac contractile function and remodeling,and identifies Mettl13 as a novel therapeutic target for ischemic HF.

High-throughput“read-on-ski”automated imaging and label-free detection system for toxicity screening of compounds using personalised human kidney organoids

Organoid models are used to study kidney physiology,such as the assessment of nephrotoxicity and underlying disease processes.Personalized human pluripotent stem cell-derived kidney organoids are ideal models for compound toxicity studies,but there is a need to accelerate basic and translational research in the field.Here,we developed an automated continuous imaging setup with the“read-on-ski”law of control to maximize temporal resolution with minimum culture plate vibration.High-accuracy performance was achieved:organoid screening and imaging were performed at a spatial resolution of 1.1µm for the entire multi-well plate under 3 min.We used the in-house developed multi-well spinning device and cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity model to evaluate the toxicity in kidney organoids using this system.The acquired images were processed via machine learning-based classification and segmentation algorithms,and the toxicity in kidney organoids was determined with 95%accuracy.The results obtained by the automated“read-on-ski”imaging device,combined with label-free and non-invasive algorithms for detection,were verified using conventional biological procedures.Taking advantage of the close-to-in vivo-kidney organoid model,this new development opens the door for further application of scaled-up screening using organoids in basic research and drug discovery.
