However, till now, the role of leptin on reproduction in birds is less well established. This experiment was conducted to elucidate the role of leptin on the onset of reproduction in bird, as a first step, to detect the changes of peripheral leptin and leptin receptor mRNA expression in hypothalamus between mature and immature hens at the same age. 120 ISA brown pullets at D60 were allocated randomly into two groups, long light (LL) group being raised under artificial light regimes with incrementally increased light phase (from 8 L:]6D to 14 L:]2D) and short light (SL) group raised on consistent light (8 L:16D) for 12 wk. Results: The results showed that pullets in LL group reached sexual maturation 15 d earlier than those in SL group. Serum E2 showed a significant increase with age, but no difference was observed between two groups. Serum leptin concentration decreased significantly from D112 to D136 in LL, and was markedly higher in LL group than that in SL at D112, while there was no significant difference between two groups at D136. Leptin receptor and GnRH-I mRNA expression in hypothalamus were significantly increased with age, yet there was no significant difference between SL and LL chickens at the same age. The expression of FSH-13 and LH-13 mRNA in pituitary was increased with age but did not show significant difference between LL and gland, and decreased from D112 to D136 in LL but not groups at the same age. SL group. GnfiH-I mRNA expression was very rich in pinea n SL group, and there was no difference between two Conclusions: These results indicate that the earlier sexual maturation in hens induced by long-light regime is not accompanied with an increase in serum leptin or leptin receptor gene expression in hypothalamus, or genes expression in HPG axis.展开更多

The structural properties of these samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra. The results show that all the samples have an average size below 70 nm, which decreases gradually with the increase of the EDTA content, and a certain number of EDTA molecules are coupled with doped ions on the surfaces of nanocrystals. Most of the doped ions are proved to be enriched on the surfaces of nanocrystals and surrounded by the high energy vibration groups and bonds in EDTA molecules. The observed differences in upconversion emission spectrum among the different LaOF:Yba+, Er3+ nanocrystals are explained by the different two-photon upconversion mechanisms. Especially, in the LaOF:Yba+, Era+ nanocrystals with EDTA, the two-photon processes that contain several special cross-relaxation processes are introduced to analyse the corresponding upconversion mechanisms.展开更多

The effects of the length of non-uniform gate-oxide layer and dual-material control-gate on the on-state, off-state, and ambipolar currents are investigated. In addition, radio-frequency performance is studied in terms of gain bandwidth product, cut-off frequency,transit time, and transconductance frequency product. Moreover, the length of non-uniform gate-oxide layer and dualmaterial control-gate are optimized to improve the on-off current ratio and radio-frequency performances as well as the suppression of ambipolar current. All results demonstrate that the proposed device not only suppresses ambipolar current but also improves radio-frequency performance compared with the conventional DMCG TFET, which makes the proposed device a better application prospect in the advanced integrated circuits.展开更多

Serum leptin concentration decreased significantly from D112 to D136 in LL, and was markedly higher in LL group than that in SL at D112, while there was no significant difference between two groups at D136. Leptin receptor and GnRH-I mRNA expression in hypothalamus were significantly increased with age, yet there was no significant difference between SL and LL chickens at the same age. The expression of FSH-13 and LH-13 mRNA in pituitary was increased with age but did not show significant difference between LL and gland, and decreased from D112 to D136 in LL but not groups at the same age. SL group. GnfiH-I mRNA expression was very rich in pinea n SL group, and there was no difference between two Conclusions: These results indicate that the earlier sexual maturation in hens induced by long-light regime is not accompanied with an increase in serum leptin or leptin receptor gene expression in hypothalamus, or genes expression in HPG axis.

文摘Ni-based phosphides(NiPx)composed of earth-abundant elements are promising cocatalysts to replace noble metals for photocatalytic H2 evolution reaction(HER).A safe,energy-saving,and compositioncontrollable synthesis of NiPx is still highly desired.A facile and mild solvothermal process was developed for the first time for selective synthesis of a series of NiPx,including Ni,Ni12P5,Ni2P/Ni12P5,Ni/Ni2P and Ni2P,through controlling the dosage of NaBH4 and NaH2PO2.The phosphidation process was mainly composed of(1)a sequential reduction of Ni2+to Nj0 and(H2PO2)-to P(around the formed Ni0)triggered by NaBH4,and(2)a final phosphidation between Nj0 and the in situ generated P atoms.The photocatalytic HER performance of g-C3N4 can be substantially improved with the decoration of NiPx(3 wt%)as the separation of photoinduced charge carriers can be promoted and some active sites with low over-potential for HER can be introduced.The cocatalytic efficiency of NiPx is mainly determined by P content.Ni2P with a high ratio of P consequently exhibits the highest HER performance(215.1 umol g-1 h-1),which is almost six times higher than that of the pristine g-C3N4(35.6 umol g-1 h-1).Thus,as for the cocatalyst based on Ni phosphides,Ni2P is the preferable crystal phase and more efforts should be devoted to Ni2P to further optimize its structure,texture,and morphology in future works.

文摘By employing a certain proportion of hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, ammonium fluoride, and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) as precipitator, well-crystallized LaOF:Eu3+ and LaOF:Yba+, Era+ nanocrystals are synthe- sized by using the chemical co-precipitation method. The structural properties of these samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra. The results show that all the samples have an average size below 70 nm, which decreases gradually with the increase of the EDTA content, and a certain number of EDTA molecules are coupled with doped ions on the surfaces of nanocrystals. Most of the doped ions are proved to be enriched on the surfaces of nanocrystals and surrounded by the high energy vibration groups and bonds in EDTA molecules. The observed differences in upconversion emission spectrum among the different LaOF:Yba+, Er3+ nanocrystals are explained by the different two-photon upconversion mechanisms. Especially, in the LaOF:Yba+, Era+ nanocrystals with EDTA, the two-photon processes that contain several special cross-relaxation processes are introduced to analyse the corresponding upconversion mechanisms.

文摘A nonlinear lateral-torsional coupled vibration model of a planetary gear system was established by taking transmission errors,time varying meshing stiffness and multiple gear backlashes into account.The bifurcation diagram of the system's motion state with rotational speed of sun gear was conducted through four steps.As a bifurcation parameter,the effect of rotational speed on the bifurcation properties of the system was assessed.The study results reveal that periodic motion is the main motion state of planetary gear train in low speed region when ns<2 350 r/min,but chaos motion state is dominant in high speed region when ns>2 350 r/min,The way of periodic motion to chaos is doubling bifurcation.There are two kinds of unstable modes and nine unstable regions in the speed region when 1 000 r/min<ns<3 000 r/min.
文摘Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii, which mainly affects pigs, cattle, sheep, rabbits and other animals. In addition, human beings are also susceptible to Toxoplasma gondii. Because Toxoplasma gondii infections are widely prevalent in human beings and other animals, we should pay more attention to prevention and control of the disease in order to promote the healthy development of breeding industry and the protection of people's health. In the present article, the pathogen of swine toxoplasmosis, life history, clinical features and treatment are elaborated.
文摘In adopting tissue culture, effects of rare earth on Physiological and chemical characteristics, proliferation and rootage in aloe were studied. The results indicate that suitable concentration treatment of rare earth increases content of reducing sugar and protein, enhances activity intensity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) isozymes and stripes of POD isozymes in the leaves. It also increases rate of proliferation and rootage respectively. The appropriate concentration of rare earth is 20~40 mg·L -1 in proliferation and rootage of aloe.

文摘In tissue culture, effects of coconut milk, rare earth and medium on proliferation, rootage and isozymes of Dendrobium were studied. The result indicated that coconut milk and RE could promote proliferation and rootage, with their combined treatment the most effective. In proliferation culture, coconut milk enhanced peroxidase (POD) and esterase(EST) activity and types, RE decreased POD, but increased EST activity and types and combined treatment did not show the same influence on POD and EST too. In rootage culture, adding coconut milk decreased POD activity, but improved EST activity in 1/2MS medium and declined EST activity, expression type in WPM medium. when using RE, POD and EST activity both reduced, types of the former decreased, types of the latter changed slightly with the basic medium. And combined treatment would decreased POD activity and types.

文摘A tunnel field-effect transistor(TFET) is proposed by combining various advantages together, such as non-uniform gate-oxide layer, hetero-gate-dielectric(HGD), and dual-material control-gate(DMCG) technology. The effects of the length of non-uniform gate-oxide layer and dual-material control-gate on the on-state, off-state, and ambipolar currents are investigated. In addition, radio-frequency performance is studied in terms of gain bandwidth product, cut-off frequency,transit time, and transconductance frequency product. Moreover, the length of non-uniform gate-oxide layer and dualmaterial control-gate are optimized to improve the on-off current ratio and radio-frequency performances as well as the suppression of ambipolar current. All results demonstrate that the proposed device not only suppresses ambipolar current but also improves radio-frequency performance compared with the conventional DMCG TFET, which makes the proposed device a better application prospect in the advanced integrated circuits.
