Bioinformatics Analysis and Homology Modeling Study of Protein Disulfide Isomerase(mPDI) from Medicago sativa L.

pdi gene from Medicago sativa L. ,encoding Protein Disulfide Isomerase（ mPDI ）, has been cloned and sequenced. According to the mRNA and amino acid sequence, the character of mPDI such as the physical and chemical properties, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, signal peptide, secondary structure, coiled coil, transmembrane domains, O-glycogylation site, active site, subcellular localization, functional structural domains and three-dimensional structure were analyzed by a series of bioinformatics software. The results showed that mPDI was a hydrophobic and stable protein with 3 coiled coils, 30-glycogylation sites, 2 structural domains of thioredoxin, 2 active sites of thioredoxin, and located in rough endoplasmic reticulum. It has 512 amino acids, the theoretical pl is 4.98, and signal peptide located in 1-24AA. In the secondary structure, a-helix, random coil, extended chain is 26.37%, 53.32%, 20.31% respectively. The validation of modeling accords with the stereochemistry.

Constructing low-cost Ni3C/twin-crystal Zn0.5Cd0.5S heterojunction/homojunction nanohybrids for efficient photocatalytic H2 evolution

The development of low-cost semiconductor photocatalysts for highly efficient and durable photocatalytic H2 evolution under visible light is very challenging.In this study,we combine low-cost metallic Ni3C cocatalysts with twin nanocrystal Zn0.5Cd0.5S(ZCS)solid solution homojunctions for an efficient visible-light-driven H2 production by a simple approach.As-synthesized Zn0.5Cd0.5S-1%Ni3C(ZCS-1)heterojunction/homojunction nanohybrid exhibited the highest photocatalytic H2-evolution rate of 783μmol h‒1 under visible light,which is 2.88 times higher than that of pristine twin nanocrystal ZCS solid solution.The apparent quantum efficiencies of ZCS and ZCS-1 are measured to be 6.13%and 19.25%at 420 nm,respectively.Specifically,the homojunctions between the zinc blende and wurtzite segments in twin nanocrystal ZCS solid solution can significantly improve the light absorption and separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs.Furthermore,the heterojunction between ZCS and metallic Ni3C NP cocatalysts can efficiently trap excited electrons from ZCS solid solution and enhance the H2-evolution kinetics at the surface for improving catalytic activity.This study demonstrates a unique one-step strategy for constructing heterojunction/homojunction hybrid nanostructures for a more efficient photocatalytic H2 evolution compared to other noble metal photocatalytic systems.

Mixed Symmetry Isomeric States in Nuclei

Mixed symmetry states are studied in the framework of the neutron-proton interacting boson model. It is found that some of the mixed symmetry states with moderate high spins change very fast with respect to the Majorana interaction. Under certain conditions, they become the yrast state or yrare state. These states are difficult to decay and become very stable. This study suggests that a possible new mode of isomers may exist due to the special nature in their proton and neutron degrees of freedom.

CO_2/CH_4 and CH_4/N_2 separation on isomeric metal organic frameworks

Two isomeric metal-organic frameworks(MOFs) with 2-dimensional(2D) and 3-dimensional(3D) topologies both comprised of Cu(Ⅱ) and OTf(OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate) ions were synthesized and characterized.The CO_2,CH_4 and N_2 adsorption properties of the two isomeric MOFs were investigated from 263 K to 298 K at0.1 MPa.The results showed that the 2D MOF exhibited a higher selectivity for CO_2 from CO_2/CH_4 and CH_4from CH_4/N_2 compared to the 3D MOF,even though it possessed a lower surface area and pore volume.The higher adsorption heats of gases on the 2D MOF inferred the strong adsorption potential energy in the layered MOFs.Dynamic separation experiments using CO_2/CH_4 and CH_4/N_2 mixtures on the two MOFs proved that the2 D MOF had a longer elution time than the 3D MOF as well as better separation abilities.

Non-liD Recommender Systems： A Review and Framework of Recommendation Paradigm Shifting

While recommendation plays an increasingly critical role in our living, study, work, and entertainment, the recommendations we receive are often for irrelevant, duplicate, or uninteresting products and ser- vices. A critical reason for such bad recommendations lies in the intrinsic assumption that recommend- ed users and items are independent and identically distributed （liD） in existing theories and systems. Another phenomenon is that, while tremendous efforts have been made to model specific aspects of users or items, the overall user and item characteristics and their non-IIDness have been overlooked. In this paper, the non-liD nature and characteristics of recommendation are discussed, followed by the non-liD theoretical framework in order to build a deep and comprehensive understanding of the in- trinsic nature of recommendation problems, from the perspective of both couplings and heterogeneity. This non-liD recommendation research triggers the paradigm shift from lid to non-liD recommendation research and can hopefully deliver informed, relevant, personalized, and actionable recommendations. It creates exciting new directions and fundamental solutions to address various complexities including cold-start, sparse data-based, cross-domain, group-based, and shilling attack-related issues.

Anomalously Large Deformation in Some Medium and Heavy Nuclei

We investigate the properties of the Ce isotopes with neutron number N =60 - 90 and the properties of the heavy nuclei near 242Am within the framework of deformed relativistic mean-field （RMF） theory. A systematic comparison between theoretical results and experimental data is made. The calculated binding energies, two-neutron separation energies, and two-proton separation energies are in good agreement with experimental ones. The variation trend of experimental quadrupole deformation parameters on the Ce isotopes can be approximately reproduced by the RMF model. It is found that there exists an abnormally large deformation in the ground state of proton-rich Ce isotopes. This phenomenon can be the general behavior of proton-rich nuclei on the neighboring isotopic chains such as Nd and Sin isotopes. For the heavy nuclei near ^242 Am the properties of the ground state and superdeformed isomeric state can be approximately reproduced by the RMF model. The mechanism of the appearance of anomalously large deformation or superdeformation is analyzed and its influence on nuclear properties is discussed. Parther experiments to study the anomalously large deformation in some proton-rich nuclei are suggested.

Carbon nanotube@silicon carbide coaxial heterojunction nanotubes as metal-free photocatalysts for enhanced hydrogen evolution

Considerable research efforts have been devoted to developing novel photocatalysts with increased performances by hybridizing inorganic nanomaterials with carbon nanotubes.In this work,one-dimensional coaxial core-shell carbon nanotubes@SiC nanotubes were successfully synthesized via in situ growth of SiC coatings on carbon nanotubes by a vapor-solid reaction between silicon vapor and carbon nanotubes.High-resolution transmission electron microscope images show that SiC and carbon nanotubes link to form a robust heterojunction with intrinsic atomic contact,which results in efficient separation of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs on SiC and electron transfer from SiC to carbon nanotubes.Compared with those of similar materials such as pure SiC nanocrystals and SiC nanotubes,the metal-free carbon nanotubes@SiC exhibits an enhanced photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution,which is attributed to the enhanced light absorption and the efficient interfacial charge transfer/separation brought about by their one-dimensional coaxial nanoheterostructures.Moreover,the photocatalytic stability of the metal-free carbon nanotubes@SiC was tested for over 20 h without any obvious decay.

Research on ray tracing in VTI medium based on different models

The study on seismic anisotropy is one of the difficult problems in the field of geophysics nowadays.As a method of ray theory,the seismic anisotropy ray tracing is an important means to study the anisotropic seismic wave propagation. The traditional ray tracing system formulated in terms of elastic parameters in the anisotropy is more complicated than that in the isotropic case. Considering the difficulty,a kind of ray tracing system formulated in terms of phase velocity and group velocity is introduced. The new method is similar to the expressions for isotropic media,and avoids the trouble of determining the eigenvalue vector at each time. Besides the ray tracing numerical simulation of different models of vertical transversely isotropic( VTI) medium is carried out,in order to verify the accuracy and applicability of the method and further study the characteristics of wave field propagation in different VTI mediums. The study is certainly valuable in reference for later processing of the anisotropic seismic data.

Calculations of electric quadrupole moments and charge radii for high-K isomers

Configuration-constrained potential-energy-surface calculations are performed to investigate high-K isomers in97Y,130Ba,176Yb,177Lu,and178Hf that were observed to have increased electric quadrupole moments but decreased charge radii relative to the states on which they are built.Taking into account the efects of deformation change and unpaired protons,our calculations can reproduce the enhancement of electric quadrupole moments for the isomers in97Y,130Ba,176Yb,177Lu and the Kπ=8 isomer in178Hf,and can reproduce the reduction of charge radii for the Kπ=27/2 isomer in97Y and the Kπ=16+isomer in178Hf.

Honeycomb silicon: a review of silicene

Silicene, a new allotrope of silicon in a twodimensional honeycomb structure, has attracted intensive research interest due to its novel physical and chemical properties. Unlike carbon atoms in graphene, silicon atoms prefer to adopt sp2/sp3-hybridized state in silicene,enhancing chemical activity on the surface and allowing tunable electronic states by chemical functionalization. The silicene monolayers epitaxially grown on Ag(111) surfaces demonstrate various reconstructions with different electronic structures. In this article, the structure, phonon modes, electronic properties, and chemical properties of silicene are reviewed based on theoretical and experimental works in recent years.

Environmental impacts on the distribution of microbial tetraether lipids in Chinese lakes with contrasting pH: Implications for lacustrine paleoenvironmental reconstructions

Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers(GDGTs) in lake sediments are useful biomarkers for the continental paleoclimatic reconstruction. However, the environmental controls on the distribution of these compounds, in particular the 6-methyl isomers of bacterial branched GDGTs(bGDGTs), in the lakes with contrasting pH, are still unknown, hindering their application for paleo-reconstructions. Here, we investigated the environmental impacts on the distribution of GDGTs in 17 alkaline lakes and 1 acid lake in China. It was found that the dissolved oxygen content in water column may have an impact on the distribution of archaeal isoprenoid GDGTs(iGDGTs) by causing the change in archaeal communities. The ratio of GDGT-0/crenarchaeol increases with decreasing oxygen content, indicating that the relative abundance of anaerobic methanogenic archaea or Miscellaneous Crenarchaeotic Group(MCG) vs. aerobic Thaumarchaeota is controlled by the oxygen content dissolved in water of these lakes. Thaumarchaeota are likely to contribute only a small proportion of iGDGTs in the relatively oxygen-depleted lakes, and thus TEX_(86) is not suitable for the reconstruction of the surface temperature of these lakes. The abundance ratio of iGDGTs to bGDGTs(R_(i/b)) appears to show no relationship with water pH in all the lakes, but exhibits a significant positive correlation with the water depth of the acid Lake Qinghai in Tengchong. As expected, the methylation degree of bGDGTs(MBT′) was found to correlate with both mean annual air temperature(MAT) and water pH, and the cyclization degree of bGDGTs(CBT) correlates only with water pH in these lakes. However, the MBT′_(5ME), an index to measure the methylation degree of 5-methyl bGDGTs, exhibits no relationship with MAT, whereas MBT′_(6ME), the methylation degree of 6-methyl bGDGTs, was found to correlate significantly with MAT. This is opposite to the situation observed in the global soils, pointing to a different adaptation of b GDGT-producing bacteria to environmental variables or different microbial sources of bGDGTs in these lakes. The relative abundance of 6- vs. 5-methyl bGDGTs is controlled by pH in these lakes, similar to that observed in worldwide soils. Hence, the isomer ratio(IR) of 6-methyl bGDGTs or CBT′ can be used as a proxy for water pH, although they might be influenced by other environmental factors including temperature in the lakes with a narrow range of pH.

Frequency-specific abnormalities in regional homogeneity among children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: a resting-state f MRI study

Although many functional magnetic resonance imaging(f MRI) studies have investigated the neurophysiology of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD),the existing studies have not yielded consistent findings.This may be related to the different properties of different frequency bands. To investigate the frequency-specific regional homogeneity(Re Ho) of spontaneous neural activities in ADHD, the current study used resting-state f MRI to explore the Re Ho properties of five frequency bands, slow-5(0.01–0.027 Hz), slow-4(0.027–0.073 Hz),slow-3(0.073–0.198 Hz), slow-2(0.198–0.25 Hz) and the extra-low frequency(0–0.01 Hz), in 30 drug-naive boys with ADHD and 30 healthy controls. Compared with controls, the ADHD group showed decreased Re Ho in the default mode network(DMN) including the medial prefrontal cortex and precuneus, middle frontal gyrus and angular gyrus. ADHD patients also showed increased Re Ho in the posterior cerebellum. Significant interactions between frequency band and group were observed predominantly in the dorsolateral prefrontal and parietal cortices, orbital frontal cortex, supplementary motor area,inferior occipital gyrus, thalamus and anterior cerebellum.In particular, we found that the between-group difference in the extra-low frequency band(0–0.01 Hz) seemed to be greater than that in the other frequency bands for most brain regions. The findings suggest that ADHD children display widespread abnormalities in regional brain activity,particularly in the DMN and attention network, and these abnormalities show frequency specificity.

Oblate Superdeformed High-K States in Superheavy Nuclei

Configuration-constrained calculations of potential-energy surfaces for ^292 122 show the occurrence of multiquasiparticle high-K isomeric state at oblate superdeformation. Such state could play a unique role in superheavy nuclei, with possible long life time from enhanced difficulty in fission due to additional barrier at oblate deformation, retardation in a decay due to unpaired nucleons, and hindrance in γ-ray transition due to K forbiddenness.

Few-layer Tellurium:one-dimensional-like layered elementary semiconductor with striking physical properties

Few-layer Tellurium, an elementary semiconductor, succeeds most of striking physical properties that black phosphorus(BP) offers and could be feasibly synthesized by simple solution-based methods. It is comprised of non-covalently bound parallel Te chains, among which covalent-like feature appears.This feature is, we believe, another demonstration of the previously found covalent-like quasi-bonding(CLQB) where wavefunction hybridization does occur. The strength of this inter-chain CLQB is comparable with that of intra-chain covalent bonding, leading to closed stability of several Te allotropes. It also introduces a tunable bandgap varying from nearly direct 0.31 eV(bulk) to indirect 1.17 eV(2L) and four(two) complex, highly anisotropic and layer-dependent hole(electron) pockets in the first Brillouin zone.It also exhibits an extraordinarily high hole mobility(~10~5 cm^2/Vs) and strong optical absorption along the non-covalently bound direction, nearly isotropic and layer-dependent optical properties, large ideal strength over 20%, better environmental stability than BP and unusual crossover of force constants for interlayer shear and breathing modes. All these results manifest that the few-layer Te is an extraordinary-high-mobility, high optical absorption, intrinsic-anisotropy, low-cost-fabrication, tunable bandgap, better environmental stability and nearly direct bandgap semiconductor. This ‘‘one-dimen sion-like" few-layer Te, together with other geometrically similar layered materials, may promote the emergence of a new family of layered materials.

Homologous temperature of olivine: Implications for creep of the upper mantle and fabric transitions in olivine

The homologues temperature of a crystalline material is defined as T/Tm, where T is temperature and Tm is the melting （solidus） temperature in Kelvin. It has been widely used to compare the creep strength of crystalline materials. The melting temperature of olivine system, （Mg,Fe）2SiO4, decreases with increasing iron content and water content, and increases with confining pressure. At high pressure, phase transition will lead to a sharp change in the melting curve of olivine. After calibrating previous melting experiments on fayalite （Fe2SiO4）, the triple point of fayalite-Fe2SiO4 spinel-liquid is determined to be at 6.4 GPa and 1793 K. Using the generalized means, the solidus and liquidus of dry olivine are described as a function of iron content and pressure up to 6.4 GPa. The change of T/Tm of olivine with depth allows us to compare the strength of the up- per mantle with different thermal states and olivine composition. The transition from semi-brittle to ductile deformation in the upper mantle occurs at a depth where T/Tm of olivine equals 0.5. The lithospheric mantle beneath cratons shows much smaller T/Tm of olivine than orogens and extensional basins until the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary where T/Tm 〉 0.66, suggesting a stronger lithosphere beneath cratons. In addition, T/Tm is used to analyze deformation experiments on olivine. The results indicate that the effect of water on fabric transitions in olivine is closely related with pressure. The hydrogen-weakening effect and its relationship with T/Tm of olivine need further investigation. Below 6.4 GPa （〈200 kin）, T/TIn of olivine controls the transition of dislocation glide from [100] slip to [001] slip. Under the strain rate of 10-12-10-15 s-1 and low stress in the upper mantle, the [100]（010） slip system （A-type fabric） becomes dominant when T/TIn〉 0.55-0.60. When T/Tm〈 0.55-0.60, [001] slip is easier and low T/Tm favors the operation of [001]（100） slip system （C-type fabric）. This is consistent with the widely observed A-type olivine fabric in naturally deformed peridotites, and the C-type olivine fabric in peridotites that experienced deep subduction in ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic terranes. However, the B-type fabric will develop under high stress and relatively low T/Tm. Therefore, the homologues temperature of olivine established a bridge to extrapolate deformation experi- ments to rheology of the upper mantle. Seismic anisotropy of the upper mantle beneath cratons should be simulated using a four-layer model with the relic A-type fabric in the upper lithospheric mantle, the B-type fabric in the middle layer, the newly formed A- or B-type fabric near the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary, and the asthenosphere dominated by diffusion creep below the Lehmann discontinuity. Knowledge about transition mechanisms of olivine fabrics is critical for tracing the water distribution and mantle flow from seismic anisotropy.

Analytic solution to the magnetotelluric response over anisotropic medium and its discussion

In the present paper,from the second order partial differential equations for solving the magnetotelluric(MT) fields of general anisotropic medium,we first obtained the second order partial differential equations for some anisotropic media with special conductivity(e.g.diagonal anisotropy,transverse anisotropy,azimuthal anisotropy,etc.) by simplifying the electrical conductivity tensor of anisotropic medium.And then we obtained the analytic solutions to MT fields for the case of transverse and azimuthal anisotropy through converting the conductivity parameter based on that of diagonal anisotropy.We further discussed the influence of the selection of integral limit and step length on precision in solving the analytic solutions for MT fields of isotropic medium.Finally,we presented the MT responses of two transverse and azimuthal anisotropic media as well as some applications of the analytic solutions to MT fields of anisotropic medium.

Novel metal-dielectric metameric optical filters for optical security devices

Optical security devices play an essential role in the fight against counterfeiting. In this paper, we study and design a pair of metal-dielectric optical filters based on metameric effect, which offer a hidden image effect by the color shift at a specific angle of observation. Compared with all-dielectric multilayer system, the metal-dielectric multilayer structure has larger color shift with varying incident angle, higher color saturation and fewer layers. Finally, the stacks with 5 layers and 7 layers are achieved, and the color difference index is only 0.71, which shows good metameric matching effect. Simultaneously, the sensitivity of filters to deposition errors is analyzed when the thickness deviation is ±2%, and the results show that the two filters have good manufacturability.

Homogenization for Periodic Heterogeneous Materials with Arbitrary Position-Dependent Material Properties

We present a rigorous homogenization approach for elcient computation of a class of physical problems in a one-dimensional periodic heterogeneous material. This material is represented by a spatially periodic array of unit cells with a length of More specifically, the method is applied to the diffusion, heat conduction, and wave propagation problems. Heterogeneous materials can have arbitrary position-dependent continuous or discontinuous materials properties （for example heat conductivity） within the unit cell. The final effective model includes both effective properties at the leading order and high-order contributions due to the microscopic heterogeneity. A dimensionless heterogeneity parameter ~ is defined to represent high-order contributions, shown to be in the range of [-1/12, 0], and has a universal expression for all three problems. Both effective properties and heterogeneity parameter 13 are independent oft, the microscopic scale of heterogeneity. The homogenized solution describing macroscopic variations can be obtained from the effective model. Solution with sub-unit-cell accuracy can be constructed based on the homogenized solution and its spatial derivatives. The paper represents a general approach to obtain the effective model for arbitrary periodic heterogeneous materials with position-dependent properties.
