Principal component analysis and stepwise regression analysis were used for comprehensive evaluation of drought resistance during the whole growth period and screening the drought index. The results showed that there were correlations among 9 phenotypic traits. The coefficient of variation of panicle weight and straw weight per plant sharply reduced under normal water supply and drought stress. Landrace "yellow millet" had the strongest drought resistance(D =0.87), integrated drought D value and membership function value of yield had significant correlation(r =0.515 9, P〈0.05). Panicle weight and straw weight per plant had significant impact on drought resistance and could be taken as comprehensive indexes of drought resistance identification in growth period.展开更多

[Method] The Imazethapyr resistant millet "M1508" was used as the experimental material and the experiment was arranged in a split plot design with two factors: herbicide application time and herbicide dosage. Application time was taken as the main plot with six treatments: A1 (preemergence treatment), A2 (postemergence treatment on the 3rd d), A3 (postemergence treatment on the 6th d), A4 (postemergence treatment on the 9th d), A5 (postemergence treatment on the 12th d), A6 (postemergence treatment on the 15th d); spraying dosage(B) with nine treatments: B1 (0 ml/hm2 , taking water as control), B2 (750 ml/hm2 ), B3 (1 125 ml/hm2 ), B4 (1 500 ml/hm2 ), B5 (2 250 ml/hm2 ), B6 (3 000 ml/hm2 ), B7 (4 500 ml/hm2 ), B8 (6 000 ml/hm2), B9 (7 500 ml/hm2 ); water was added at 675 kg/hm2 . [Result] Imazethapyr showed a good herbicidal effect, and the imazethapyr resistant new variety M1508 also had a high drug resistance; the dosage range of 750 -7 500 ml/hm2 was safe for millet; considering the weed control efficacy, the yield and weeding cost comprehensively, postemergence treatment on the 6th day at 1 500 -2 250 ml/hm2 was the best for herbicide application. [Conclusion] Matched chemical weeding techniques to imazethapyr resistant millet varieties were preliminarily identified, and the efficacy of imazethapyr on weed control and its security on millet were investigated, providing references for the application and promotion of imazethapyr resistant millet varieties.展开更多

The choice of the regularization factor and of the initial model is critical in regularization inversion. To deal with these problems, we propose a multiobjective particle swarm inversion (MOPSOI) algorithm to simultaneously minimize the data misfit and model constraints, and obtain a multiobjective inversion solution set without the gradient information of the objective function and the regularization factor. We then choose the optimum solution from the solution set based on the trade-off between data misfit and constraints that substitute for the regularization factor. The inversion of synthetic two-dimensional magnetic data suggests that the MOPSOI algorithm can obtain as many feasible solutions as possible; thus, deeper insights of the inversion process can be gained and more reasonable solutions can be obtained by balancing the data misfit and constraints. The proposed MOPSOI algorithm can deal with the problems of choosing the right regularization factor and the initial model.展开更多

Intramolecular distances, root-mean-square deviation, radius of gyration, and solvent-accessible surface are used to characterize the properties of the carnosine. Carnosine can shift between extended and folded states, but exists mostly in extended state in water. Its preference for extension in pure water has been proven by the 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiment. The NMR experimental results are consistent with the molecular dynamics simulations.展开更多

Different types of atoms exhibit different capability in forming hydrogen bonds by the radial distribution function analysis. Some typical dominant aggregates are found in different types of hydrogen bonds by the statistical hydrogen-bonding network. Moreover, temperature-dependent NMR are used to compare with the results of the MD simulations. The chemical shifts of the three hydrogen atoms all decrease with the temperature increasing which reveals that the hydrogen bonds are dominant in the glycylglycine aqueous solution. And the NMR results show agreement with the MD simulations. All-atom MD simulations and NMR spectra are successful in revealing the structures and interactions in the N-glycylglycine-water mixtures.展开更多

The NMR and IR spectra are also performed to study the structures and interactions in the DMSO-water system. And there are traditional strong hydrogen bonds and weak C-H- ~ ~ O contacts existing in the mixtures according to the analysis of the radial distribution functions. The insight structures in the DMSO-water mixtures can be classified into different regions by the analysis of the hydrogen-bonding network. Interestingly, the molar fraction of DMSO 0.35 is found to be a special concentration by the network. It is the transitional region which is from the water rich region to the DMSO rich region. The stable aggregates of (DMSO)m'S=O…… HW-OW-(H20)n might play a key role in this region. Moreover, the simulation is compared with the chemical shifts in NMR and wavenumbers in IR with concentration dependence. And the statistical results of the average number hydrogen bonds in the MD simulations are in agreement with the experiment data in NMR and IR spectra.展开更多

The computational results of the input impedance of Hilbert fractal antenna are in good agreement with the experiments in the documents. The results also show that the self-similarity of the fractal structure leads to the multiplicity of resonances over some predetermined operating bandwidths of the antenna. Fractal geometries of Hilbert and H curves can be implemented to miniaturize the antenna, too. The results also show that the higher order fractal antenna leads to the more efficient reduction of the antenna size than the lower order one. Furthermore, the far field patterns remain almost the same as those of the dipole at their own resonant frequencies.展开更多
