[Method] 39 B. juncea materials from western China were used for the canonical correlation analysis, and canonical correlations between each pair of the four ecological character (containing 18 variables) were verified, including yield characters (5 variables), caulis characters (6 variables), branch characters (3 variables) and pod characters (3 variables). [Result] Yield per plant of B. juncea in western China suffered a tremendous influence from effective pod number per plant while was not significantly affected by the total pod number per plant, seed number per pod and 1 000-seed weight; the most important character related with the yield character of B. juncea in western China was caulis character, followed by the branch character and pod character; yield characters, caulis characters, branch characters and pod characters of B. juncea in western China were closely correlated. [Conclusion] In order to improve the yield characters of B. juncea in western China, caulis characters should be focused on, followed by branch characters and pod characters; rapeseed varieties with high performance in total pod number per plant and effective pod number per plant should be chosen through the perspectives of effective branch number, plant height, pod number of main inflorescence, fruit stalk number of main inflorescence and other traits, while rapeseed varieties with high performance in seed number per pod and 1 000-seed weight should be chosen through the perspectives of beak length and other traits.展开更多

To some extent, their revenge is similar, but there are also differences. However, there are few comparisons between the two heroes from the perspective of romanticism. From the analysis of the author's living background and their literary genre of the two works, the paper will analyse the reasons why Heathcliff and Chillingworth want to revenge, and reflect their similarities and differences in terms of their character, means, ending, and so on. The paper will analyse the two heroes by using the methods of literature data collection, text comparison and induction, and come to a conclusion that the romanticism carried by the two authors is influential in shaping the two satan type heroes. Thus to gain more details about the similarities of the two cruel revenger, and the differences of their individuality and different ways of revenge.展开更多

The QS, AR models established by comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity index analysis (CoMSIA) show a good predictive ability with cross-validated coefficients q2 of 0.644 and 0.636, respectively. The docking result shows that there are quite lower average values of the flexible and rigid energy scores on the selected binding sites, meanwhile, it further shows that the binding sites just fall on the joint regions between AP-1 (and NF-κB) and DNA. The reason that these analogues have inhibition function towards AP-I and NF-κB is that their existence on these joint regions can effectively prevent free AP-I and NF-κB from binding to DNA. These results can offer a valuable theoretical reference to the pharmaceutical molecular design as well as the action mechanism analysis.展开更多

These polymers have attracted particular attention as green plastic in biomedical and industrial applications due to their good biodegradability and bio- compatibility. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvaler- ate) (PHBV) is one of the most common members of PHAs. However, there is no report comparing the properties of PHBV from different groups of producers, e.g., bacteria and haloarchaea. In this study, two types of PHBV copolymers were synthesized in Halogranum amylolyticum and Ralstonia eutropha, respectively, by feeding different carbon sources. They possessed a similar concentration of 3HV monomers (21 tool%) and were named PHBV-H (produced by H. arnylolyticum) and PHBV-B (produced by R. eutropha) based on their source. Interestingly, they exhibited different behaviors especially in thermal stabil- ity, melting temperature, crystallinity percentage, and mechanical properties. Furthermore, the films of PHBV-Hand PHBV-B possessed different surface properties, such as surface roughness, wettability, and surface free energy. The value of hemolysis on the PHBV-H film was lower in comparison with the PHBV-B film, although both values were within the limit of 5 % permissible for biomaterials. Notably, few inactivated platelets adhered to the surface of the PHBV-H film, whereas numerous activated platelets were seen on film PHBV-B. These results indicated that PHBV-H was a better potential component of blood-contact biomaterials than PHBV-B. Our study clearly revealed that the properties of PHAs are source dependent and haloarchaeal species provide a new opportunity for the production of desired PHAs.展开更多
