In granular superconductors, the grain boundaries are closely related to the vortex dynamics and the macroscopic superconducting properties. In our research, Pb films with different grain sizes were prepared by tuning the substrate temperature. With the grain size decreasing, Pb films are prone to feature the anomalous magnetization jumps in the M − T curves, while in the M − H curves flux avalanche happens. Both phenomena appear in the same region of the H − T phase diagram and thus are considered to have the same origin. The further theoretical analysis shows that with grain size decreasing the pinning mechanism evolves from a mixed δTc and δl pinning to the δl pinning mechanism. The results shed light on the study of pinning mechanism for granular superconductors and is beneficial to the potential application of manipulating vortex pinning by regulation of intrinsic defects.

Background: To evaluate the effects of bufalin in A549 human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial cells in vitro and assess the underlying mechanisms. Materials and Methods: Human A549 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells were treated with various concentrations of bufalin. Cell proliferation was measured by CCK-8 assay, apoptotic cell percentage was calculated by flow cytometry and morphological change was observed by inverted phase contrast microscopy/transmission electron microscopy. In addition, the membrane potential of mitochondria was detected by JC-1 fluorescence microscopy assay, and the related protein expression of cytochrome C and caspase-3 was analyzed by Western blotting. Results: Bufalin could inhibit the proliferation of A549 cells via induction of apoptosis, with the evidence of characteristic morphological changes in the nucleus and mitochondria. Furthermore, bufalin decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential with up-regulation of cytochrome C in the cytosol, and activation of caspase-3. Conclusions: Bufalin inhibits the proliferation of A549 cells and triggers mitochondria-dependent apoptosis, pointing to therapeutic application for NSCLC.
Aseismic Optimization of Mega-sub Controlled Structures Based on Gaussian Process Surrogate Model

Due to the complex seismic characteristics of mega-sub controlled structures (MSCS), it is difficult to give full play to their advantages in earthquake resistance by traditional design methods. Meta-heuristic optimization algorithms can be used to improve the seismic performance, but the structural response needs to be calculated repeatedly, which results in high computation cost. To overcome these challenges, an efficient aseismic optimization design procedure for engineering application is developed. In this procedure, the model of optimization problem is established based on time history analysis (THA). Gaussian process regression (GPR) surrogate models are employed to predict the values of the objective and constraint functions. The expected improvement (EI) and constrained expected improvement (CEI) criteria are adopted to update the training sample set and obtain the optimal solution. Then, two examples are presented to validate the effectiveness and efficiency of this method in optimization problems of structures under earthquake loads. Finally, it is applied to optimizations of a MSCS and a mega frame structure (MFS), respectively. The response and cost of the optimized structures are reduced, and the MSCS shows better earthquake resistant capacities.

Phytotoxic effects of cadmium (Cd), a heavy metalpollutant, on plants have been extensively examined. Auxinplays vital roles in many aspects of plant development. Theassociation between root growth and auxin signaling in CdstressedSorghum bicolor was analyzed in our study. Rootelongation, shoot length and the maximal photochemicalefficiency (Fv/Fm) in S. bicolor seedlings were dramaticallyreduced after Cd stress treatment. Cd was found to bepredominantly confined in the meristematic zone using a Cdstainingmethod. Cd stress remarkably influenced the cellcycle progression at the root tip as shown by EdU (ethynyldeoxyuridine) assay. The content of IAA was markedlydiminished in the roots of Cd-stressed S. bicolor, which wasalong with the increase of IAA oxidase activity. Auxintransport inhibitors, 1-naphthoxyacetic acid (1-NOA) or 1-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA), greatly reduced plant toleranceto Cd stress, whereas exogenous application of 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) improved Cd tolerance in S. bicolor seedlings. Cd stress altered the transcript level ofsome putative auxin biosynthetic genes. In addition, NAAinterfered with the homeostasis of Cd-induced reactiveoxygen species (ROS). These results revealed that Cd stressdisturbed the growth of S. bicolor seedlings by affecting thehomeostasis of auxin and ROS.

The taxonomic status of the subspecies Alectoris chukar remains unclear since 1830. To obtain more information on phylogenetic relationships within the species, the entire mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control-region sequences of eleven subspecies were analyzed to construct the phylogenetic tree among the subspecies of chukar partridge. There was a significant genetic differentiation among the subspecies with little gene flow. The phylogenetic tree grouped all the eleven subspecies into a monophyletic cluster, which included two deeply divergent phylogroups. Haplotype network was observed within A. chukar, and gene flow estimates suggest isolation among the subspecies. Our data confirmed a locality of origin (central Asia) for chukar partridge, and have clarified the relationships among the subspecies. A conventional calibration of mtDNA sequence divergence indicated an early to middle Pleistocene evolution of the main clades in A. chukar, which could have diversified in allopatry in the lowland of continental Asia. Cyclic changes in Pleistocene climate and landscape might result in subspecific divergence of chukar partridge.
