The Use of Hand Stamps in the Manuscript Maps Drawn by East Asian Countries in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries

It was generally accepted that manuscript maps,as distinct from printed maps,exhibited no signs of printing and were entirely hand-drawn.Western scholars Christopher Terrell and Tony Campbell were the first to break this stereotype in 1987,followed by Catherine Delano-Smith and Chet Van Duzer who discovered a few Renaissance maps and two Qing dynasty maps that showed use of hand stamps.Inspired by these findings,this paper explores the stamped map signs in ten Chinese maps,three Japanese maps,and three Korean maps.By analyzing each map and each type of stamp,this paper provides more examples of this research,broadens the research horizons and geographical area,and demonstrates that use of stamps in manuscript maps was invented independently among people of different regions and civilizations as a result of human nature.

Construction of the Sense of Belonging of Place Spirit in the Renovation of Historical Blocks: A Case Study of Ancient Town Street of Ming and Qing Dynasties in Hekou, Qianshan

The renovation of historical blocks often stays at the material level of buildings, ignoring the deeper spiritual level, which can not arouse people’s sense of belonging to the city memory. Based on the protection of local Qianshan area culture, taking Hekou ancient town street of Ming and Qing Dynasty as an example, with the construction of place spirit and sense of belonging as the primary goal, and combining the history and culture of the city, the current situation of the streets and the characteristics of the buildings, this paper put forward the relevant renovation measures to provide a kind of thinking for the refined and rational renovation of the blocks in the future.

The combination of DNA methylation and positive regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis by MYB and bHLH transcription factors contributes to the petal blotch formation in Xibei tree peony

Xibei tree peony is a distinctive cultivar group that features red–purple blotches in petals.Interestingly,the pigmentations of blotches and non-blotches are largely independent of one another.The underlying molecular mechanism had attracted lots of attention from investigators,but was still uncertain.Our present work demonstrates the factors that are closely related to blotch formation in Paeonia rockii‘Shu Sheng Peng Mo’.Non-blotch pigmentation is prevented by the silencing of anthocyanin structural genes,among which PrF3H,PrDFR,and PrANS are the three major genes.We characterized two R2R3-MYBs as the key transcription factors that control the early and late anthocyanin biosynthetic pathways.PrMYBa1,which belongs to MYB subgroup 7(SG7)was found to activate the early biosynthetic gene(EBG)PrF3H by interacting with SG5 member PrMYBa2 to form an‘MM’complex.The SG6 member PrMYBa3 interacts with two SG5(IIIf)bHLHs to synergistically activate the late biosynthetic genes(LBGs)PrDFR and PrANS,which is essential for anthocyanin accumulation in petal blotches.The comparison of methylation levels of the PrANS and PrF3H promoters between blotch and non-blotch indicated a correlation between hypermethylation and gene silencing.The methylation dynamics of PrANS promoter during flower development revealed a potential early demethylating reaction,which may have contributed to the particular expression of PrANS solely in the blotch area.We suggest that the formation of petal blotch may be highly associated with the cooperation of transcriptional activation and DNA methylation of structural gene promoters.

SIZHD17 is involved in the control of chlorophyll and carotenoid metabolism in tomato fruit

Chlorophylls and carotenoids are essential and bene fi cial substances for both plant and human health.Identifying the regulatory network of these pigments is necessary for improving fruit quality.In a previous study,we identi fi ed an R2R3-MYB transcription factor,SlMYB72,that plays an important role in chlorophyll and carotenoid metabolism in tomato fruit.Here,we demonstrated that the SlMYB72-interacting protein SlZHD17,which belongs to the zinc-fi nger homeodomain transcription factor family,also functions in chlorophyll and carotenoid metabolism.Silencing SIZHD 17 in tomato improved multiple bene fi cial agronomic traits,including dwar fi sm,accelerated fl owering,and earlier fruit harvest.More importantly,downregulating SIZHD17 in fruits resulted in larger chloroplasts and a higher chlorophyll content.Dual-luciferase,yeast one-hybrid and electrophoretic mobility shift assays clari fi ed that SlZHD17 regulates the chlorophyll biosynthesis gene SIPOR-B and chloroplast developmental regulator SITKN2 in a direct manner.Chlorophyll degradation and plastid transformation were also retarded after suppression of SIZHD17 in fruits,which was caused by the inhibition of SISGR1,a crucial factor in chlorophyll degradation.On the other hand,the expression of the carotenoid biosynthesis genes SIPSY1 and SIZISO was also suppressed and directly regulated by SlZHD17,which induced uneven pigmentation and decreased the lycopene content in fruits with SIZHD17 suppression at the ripe stage.Furthermore,the protein-protein interactions between SlZHD17 and other pigment regulators,including SlARF4,SlBEL11,and SlTAGL1,were also presented.This study provides new insight into the complex pigment regulatory network and provides new options for breeding strategies aiming to improve fruit quality.

The impact of a sense of belonging on lethargy and career maturity

In this study, the authors treated a combination of psychological apathy and decreased motivation as a tendency to lethargy, and implemented a survey into the tendency to lethargy demonstrated by students, in order to study the impact of a sense of belonging in the four relationships between the student and the people considered most likely to be interacted with during university life—those with family, friends at university, friends outside university and boyfriend/girlfriend. In addition, the authors implemented a survey and study that included additional categories relating to career maturity. The study was performed on 250 university students, using an anonymous questionnaire that graded responses using criteria to measure a sense of belonging, psychological apathy characteristics, areas of decreased motivation, and career maturity. The subjects were classified by the school year to which they belonged, their gender, and whether or not they had a boyfriend/girlfriend, and consideration was given to the relationship between psychological apathy, decreased motivation, career maturity and a sense of belonging. In terms of gender difference in regard to each of the criteria, partially, the study indicated that male students score significantly higher than female students in terms of a sense of belonging, females score significantly higher than males for decreased motivation in regard to classes, and males score significantly higher than females in relation to career maturity. No significant difference in scores was noted between males and females in relation to psychological apathy. The impact of a sense of belonging on psychological apathy, decreased motivation and career motivation was seen in the fact that across all categories, those students with a good relationship with friends at university had a suppressed level of decreased motivation in regard to university by the portions given in this document.

Model of a Composite Energy Storage System for Urban Rail Trains

Urban rail transit can solve the current inconvenient transportation problem for China’s large urban population.A compound onboard energy storage system can meet vehicles’traction requirements and recover energy in vehicles’braking stage to improve energy utilisation.However,the composite onboard energy storage system has several concerns,such as its power and energy demand,battery aging,and maintenance costs.Therefore,the NSGA-II algorithm is proposed to optimise matching the composite energy storage system parameters for urban rail trains.The NSGA-II algorithm was used with an improved elite retention strategy to optimise the parameters matching of the composite power supply.The optimisation’s objective concerns the replacement costs and economy of the composite power supply.The method increases the vertical diversity of searching and avoids genetic precocity.The NSGA-II algorithm calls the simulation model of composite power supply in real-time and simultaneously optimises the composite power supply and control parameters.The Pareto set of optimisation objectives and corresponding parameters and control strategies of composite power supply are obtained.The NSGA-II algorithm can optimise the composite energy storage system’s parameters and improve the train and the composite power supply’s performance indexes.The algorithm greatly reduces the composite power supply’s capacitance and reduces the system’s total energy consumption.Then,the multi-component energy loss caused by the multi-power source system can be effectively controlled.The total capacitance is reduced by 12.1%,the battery life is prolonged by 18.86%,and the optimised composite power supply’s energy storage is increased by 17.6%.

Laminar and Turbulent Characteristics of the Acoustic/Fluid Dynamics Interactions in a Slender Simulated Solid Rocket Motor Chamber

In this paper,analytical,computational,and experimental studies are integrated to examine unsteady acoustic/vorticity transport phenomena in a solid rocket motor chamber with end-wall disturbance and side-wall injection.Acoustic-fluid dynamic interactions across the chamber may generate intense unsteady vorticity with associated shear stresses.These stresses may cause scouring and,in turn,enhance the heat rate and erosional burning of solid propellant in a real rocket chamber.In this modelling,the unsteady propellant gasification is mimicked by steady-state flow disturbed by end-wall oscillations.The analytical approach is formulated using an asymptotic technique to reduce the full governing equations.The equations that arise from the analysis possess wave properties are solved in an initial-boundary value sense.The numerical study is performed by solving the parabolized Navier–Stokes equations for the DNS simulation and unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations along with the energy equation using the control volume approach based on a staggered grid system with the turbulence modelling.The v2-f turbulence model has been implemented.The results show that an unexpectedly large amplitude of unsteady vorticity is generated at the injection side-wall of the chamber and is then penetrated downstream by the bulk motion of the internal flow.These stresses may cause a scouring effect and large transient heat transfer on the combustion surface.A comparison between the analytical,computational,and experimental results is performed.
