文摘H7N9 subtype avian influenza virus poses a great challenge for poultry industry.Newcastle disease virus(NDV)-vectored H7N9 avian influenza vaccines(NDV_(vec)H7N9)are effective in disease control because they are protective and allow mass administration.Of note,these vaccines elicit undetectable H7N9-specific hemagglutination-inhibition(HI)but high IgG antibodies in chickens.However,the molecular basis and protective mechanism underlying this particular antibody immunity remain unclear.Herein,immunization with an NDV_(vec)H7N9 induced low anti-H7N9 HI and virus neutralization titers but high levels of hemagglutinin(HA)-binding IgG antibodies in chickens.Three residues(S150,G151 and S152)in HA of H7N9 virus were identified as the dominant epitopes recognized by the NDV_(vec)H7N9 immune serum.Passively transferred NDV_(vec)H7N9 immune serum conferred complete protection against H7N9 virus infection in chickens.The NDV_(vec)H7N9 immune serum can mediate a potent lysis of HA-expressing and H7N9 virus-infected cells and significantly suppress H7N9 virus infectivity.These activities of the serum were significantly impaired after heat-inactivation or treatment with complement inhibitor,suggesting the engagement of the complement system.Moreover,mutations in the 150-SGS-152 sites in HA resulted in significant reductions in cell lysis and virus neutralization mediated by the NDV_(vec)H7N9 immune serum,indicating the requirement of antibody-antigen binding for complement activity.Therefore,antibodies induced by the NDV_(vec)H7N9 can activate antibody-dependent complement-mediated lysis of H7N9 virus-infected cells and complement-mediated neutralization of H7N9 virus.Our findings unveiled a novel role of the complement in protection conferred by the NDV_(vec)H7N9,highlighting a potential benefit of engaging the complement system in H7N9 vaccine design.

文摘This paper proposes a longitudinal protection scheme utilizing empirical wavelet transform(EWT)for a through-type cophase traction direct power supply system,where both sides of a traction network line exhibit a distinctive boundary structure.This approach capitalizes on the boundary’s capacity to attenuate the high-frequency component of fault signals,resulting in a variation in the high-frequency transient energy ratio when faults occur inside or outside the line.During internal line faults,the high-frequency transient energy at the checkpoints located at both ends surpasses that of its neighboring lines.Conversely,for faults external to the line,the energy is lower compared to adjacent lines.EWT is employed to decompose the collected fault current signals,allowing access to the high-frequency transient energy.The longitudinal protection for the traction network line is established based on disparities between both ends of the traction network line and the high-frequency transient energy on either side of the boundary.Moreover,simulation verification through experimental results demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed protection scheme across various initial fault angles,distances to faults,and fault transition resistances.

文摘The phenomenal popularity of smart mobile computing hardware is enabling pervasive edge intelligence and ushering us into a digital twin era.However,the natural barrier between edge equipment owned by different interested parties poses unique challenges for cross-domain trust management.In addition,the openness of radio access and the accessibility of edge services render edge intelligence systems vulnerable and put sensitive user data in jeopardy.This paper presents an intrusion protection mechanism for edge trust transfer to address the inter-edge trust management issue and the conundrum of detecting indistinguishable malevolent nodes launching weak attacks.First,an inter-edge reputation transfer framework is established to leverage the trust quality of different edges to retain the accumulated trust histories of users when they roam in multi-edge environments structurally.Second,a fine-grained intrusion protection system is proposed to reduce the negative impact of attacks on user interactions and improve the overall trust quality and system security of edge intelligence services.The experimental results validate the effectiveness and superior performance of the proposed intrusion protection for edge trust transfer in securing,enhancing,and consolidating edge intelligence services.

文摘Centering on the systematic construction of human rights theories,Xi Jinping’s discourses on respecting and protecting human rights creatively put forward a series of original theoretical viewpoints and academic propositions,profoundly revealing the basic connotation of a contemporary Chinese outlook on human rights and realizing all-around and deep-level innovation in the construction of a contemporary human rights theoretical system.In ontology,the four-in-one view of human rights of the political party,the government,society,and the people goes beyond the dichotomy between the political state and civil society.In element theory,the substantive view of human rights surpasses the formalist view of human rights.In category theory,the view of human rights focusing on the right to sub-sistence and the right to development transcends the view of human rights based on the individual’s right to freedom.In operation theory,the“development-based human rights path”goes beyond the“human rights-based development path.”In practice,the positive view of human rights based on the rule of law surpasses the negative view of human rights based on the rule of law.

文摘The fundamental right-based and human right-based nature of labor rights forms the subjective and objective theory of labor rights.The derived objective protection function and subjective realization function constitute the theoretical basis of the labor code system.The objective function of labor rights requires the labor code to provide corresponding institutional guarantees,while the subjective function demands that the code ensure the full realization of labor rights.The dual functions of labor rights are reflected in the structural framework and content logic of the labor code separately:on the one hand,labor rights can serve as the structural thread for narrating and systematically organizing the labor code,with the specific types of labor rights protection and functional systems jointly forming the framework of the code;on the other hand,the content arrangement of the labor code is guided by the value of realizing labor rights,exploring the pathways for the code’s realization of labor rights in different situations.
