Relationship between suspended sediments from the Changjiang Estuary and the evolution of the embayed muddy coast of Zhejiang Province

South of Hangzhou Bay, Zhejiang Province, exhibits an embayed muddy coastline, with the muddy beaches of embayments extending continuously seaward.The source of sediments on this coast presents an interesting problem to marine geologists and geomorphologists .The total annual load of sediments from the rivers of Zhejiang is only 12×106t.These materials affect only the area near the river mouths. The paper showed that the sediment along the coast of Zhejiang mainly comes from the Changjiang Estuary through analysing the time and space variations of suspended sediment, the features of sediment and the sedimentary transport.The Changjiang River is the largest river system in China, its sediment to the sea amounting to 468×106t. The sediment during summer transports mainly eastward, and is affected by the water body with high temperature, salinity and transparency; the winter season is the period with high sediment concentration. The sediment of the Changjiang Estuary transports together with the longshore current of the East China Sea southward, the southern boundary can reach the sea region approximately 500 km from the Shacheng Harbour. The accretion rate seaward has been about 10 - 30 m since the 16th century. The sediment movement combined the longitudinal with the lateral, so that the muddy flats progress continuously seaward under the construction of the seashore profile .

Analysis of Genetic Evolution of Escherichia fergusonii

[Objectives]This study was conducted to explore the genetic evolution of Escherichia fergusonii in different countries and regions,and to clarify the genetic relationship of E.fergusonii in different countries and regions.[Methods]Bioinformatics method and bacterial 16 S rRNA sequencing technology were used to sort out and prune 16 S rRNA genes isolated in laboratory and searched in NCBI database to construct a molecular evolutionary tree for analysis and comparison.[Results]The direction of evolution of E.fergusonii has broken through regions,and there was cross evolution among continents.The origin of E.fergusonii was the Asian continent,and its adaptability to arid climate was not strong.[Conclusions]This study revealed the genetic evolution laws of E.fergusonii in the spread and mutation of livestock and poultry diseases,and provides a theoretical reference for the prevention and treatment of the disease.

Genome-wide analysis of nuclear factor Y genes and functional investigation of watermelon ClNF-YB9 during seed development

The nuclear factor Y(NF-Y) gene family is a class of transcription factors that are widely distributed in eukaryotes and are involved in various biological processes. However, the NF-Y gene family members in watermelon, a valued and nutritious fruit, remain largely unknown and their functions have not been characterized. In the present study, 22 ClNF-Y genes in watermelon, 29 CsNF-Y genes in cucumber, and 24CmNF-Y genes in melon were identified based on the whole-genome investigation and their protein properties, gene location, gene structure, motif composition, conserved domain, and evolutionary relationship were investigated. ClNF-YB9 from watermelon and its homologs in cucumber and melon were expressed specifically in seeds. Its expression remained low in the early stages of watermelon seed development,increased at 20 days after pollination(DAP), and peaked at 45–50 DAP. Moreover, the knockout mutant Clnf-yb9 exhibited abnormal leafy cotyledon phenotype, implying its critical role during seed formation.Finally, protein interaction assays showed that ClNF-YB9 interacts with all ClNF-YCs and the ClNF-YB9-YC4 heterodimer was able to recruit a ClNF-YA7 subunit to assemble a complete NF-Y complex, which may function in seed development. This study revealed the structure and evolutionary relationships of the NF-Y gene family in Cucurbitaceae and the novel function of ClNF-YB9 in regulating seed development in watermelon.

Formation Mechanism of the Cluster Space of Wuhan Metropolitan Area amid Evolution of Power Relationship

With the urban regionalization and regional urbanization, the spatial structure of cluster appears in some metropolitan areas, among which Wuhan can be taken as a typical case. This paper analyzes the formation of Wuhan metropolitan cluster space from the perspective of power relationship. A "twin-city" approach is developed in the peripheral area of Wuhan caused by the game between local governments at different levels. With the equal development opportunities in all directions and the alliances between different district governments and capital, the balancedly embedded cluster space is formed in Wuhan metropolitan area. And if there are no huge internal and external changes, the cluster space in Wuhan will continue to develop.

敌对对立观向对待对立观转变的全人类呼唤——试析全球社会关系由混乱、崩溃向爱与和谐转变的途径

在现代社会中敌对的对立观念已经成为观察、理解和处理对立物之间关系的最基本的观点。由此在所有形式的社会关系方面逐渐出现了日趋混乱和崩溃的局面 ,人们的社会生活也日益感受到难以承受的不幸和痛苦。所谓敌对的对立观念是指 ,把对立的事物之间的关系理解为相互敌对关系。中国古代的阴阳学说很好地表达了对立的事物之间的对待关系。所谓对待的对立观念是指 ,把相互对立的事物之间的关系理解为相辅相成或相反相成的关系。阴阳学说以“阴”与“阳”来表达了自然、人和社会当中的相互对立的事物之间的相反相成的关系。相互之间的真诚的尊重是建立一切健康的和创造性关系的基础。对待的对立观念能够为改善现代社会中的混乱的和尖锐的各种关系提供新的观念 ,能够为我们的心灵和社会中播种和平和爱的种子提供基础。
