Owing to the advantage of simplicity in structure and low cost of construction and maintenance, box-type VLFS can be used in the calm water area near the coast as the structure configuration of floating airport. In this paper, a 3D linear hydroelastic theory is used to study the dynamic response of box-type VLFS in sinusoidal regular waves. A beam model and a 3D FEM model are respectively employed to describe the dynamic characteristics of the box-type Structure in vacuum. A hydrodynamic model (3D potential theory of flexible body) is applied to investigate the effect of different dry models on the hydroelastic response of box-type structure. Based on the calculation of hydroelastic response in regular waves, the rigid body motion displacement, flexible deflection, and the short term and long term wave induced bending moments are also predicted.展开更多

In the embryonic development period, FOXA2 is require d for the formation of the primitive node and notochord, and its absence results in embryonic lethality. Moreover, FOXA2 plays an important role not only in lung development, but also in T helper type 2(Th2)-mediated pulmonary inflammation and goblet cell hyperplasia. In this article, the role of FOXA2 in lung development and Th2-mediated pulmonary inflammation, as well as in goblet cell hyperplasia, is reviewed. FOXA2 deletion in airway epithelium results into Th2-mediated pulmonary inflammation and goblet cell hyperplasia in developing lung. Leukotriene pathway and signal transducers and activators of transcription 6 pathway may mediate this inflammation through recruitment and activation of denditric cell during lung developments. FOXA2 is a potential treatment target for lung diseases with Th2 inflammation and goblet cell hyperplasia, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.展开更多

Few Gossypium hirsutum MADS-box genes have been reported thus far. Recently, the genome of Gossypium raimondii, considering the contributor of the D subgenome to G. hirsutum, was sequenced and provided a valuable resource to identify and analyze multiple MADS-box genes in G. hirsutum. Here we comprehensively analyzed 53 MIKCC-type MADS-box genes, including 34 newly cloned genes. Phylogenetic analysis of these genes with those from Arabidopsis and grapevine showed that the FLC and AGL12 subfamilies were absent in G. hirsutum. Proteins within a gene subfamily tended to share conserved motifs, and large differences occurred among subfamilies. Expression analysis in multiple tissues and lforal organs implied differing roles for the subfamilies in G. hirsutum. At nine loci, two or three genes co-occurred, indicating that they came from different subgenomes; these groups had similar expression patterns. The identiifcation of MIKCC-type MADS-box genes in G. hirsutum provides a valuable resource for further research into lfowering time, lfower development and ovule development in this important crop plant.展开更多

The sheet-type ceramic heater was able to control the required temperature history for PWHT with high accuracy. The welding-induced tensile and compressive residual stresses of the specimens were reduced by 90% and 76% respectively with PWHT. Besides, PWHT could reduce the welding-induced out-of-plane deformation by 22%. It was revealed that the PWHT specimens had a slight higher stiffness than the As-welded specimens when applying monotonic static compressive load on both As-welded and PWHT specimens. They could also enhance the ultimate compressive load capacity about 32% of that of the As-welded specimens. The effectiveness of PWHT with the sheet-type ceramic heater could be confirmed.展开更多
