This paper addresses the problem of dissipative fault detection (FD) for nonlinear Markov jump systems (MJSs) with cyber attacks and hidden modal information, in which the round-robin (R-R) protocol is introduced to save network bandwidth. Two Bernoulli random variables are used to characterize the measurement affected by potential cyber attacks. The hidden Markov model (HMM) is employed to handle the phenomenon of hidden mode information. Subsequently, the sufficient conditions are derived based on the Lyapunov stability theory to ensure that the FD system is stochastically stable and stochastically strictly (Q1, Q2, Q3)-γ dissipative. The desired FD filter matrices are obtained by solving linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, a simulation is provided to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the designed FD scheme.

Objective The connectivity alterations in the putamen were found in revealing the neural correlates of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but whether the effective connectivity of the putamen is atypical in ADHD remains unclear. Investigating this abnormality contributes to describing the neural circuit of ADHD at the level of macrostructural organization. Methods Data were acquired from thirty-two boys with ADHD and fifty-two matched typically developing controls (TDC) from Peking University (Peking) dataset deposited at the Neuroimaging Informatics Tools and Resources Clearinghouse (NITRC) platform. We examined the effective connectivity of the putamen using Granger causality analysis (GCA) and then determined whether these connections could differentiate ADHD from TDC. Results Compared with TDC, the ADHD group showed decreased effective connectivity from the left ventral rostral putamen (VRP) to left calcarine (CAL), right medial part of the superior frontal gyrus, left orbital part of superior frontal gyrus and left middle occipital gyrus (MOG). Increased effective connectivity from the left inferior occipital gyrus and right lingual gyrus to left VRP was also found in ADHD. The result of the classification accuracy showed that 72.3% of participants were correctly classified using support vector machine. Moreover, GCA values from the left VRP to left CAL and left MOG were significantly correlated with hyper/impulsive scores of patients with ADHD. Conclusion The findings may help extend our understanding of the ADHD-related neural loops.

To verified the target genes of miR-34c, bioinformatics software was used to predict the targets of miR-34c. Three possible target genes of miR-34c related to spermatogenesis and male reproductive development: zinc finger protein 148 (ZNF148), kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4), and platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) were predicted. Then, the expression of miR-34c and its target genes were detected in swine testicular tissue at different developmental stages by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The results suggested that the expression of PDGFRA has the highest negative correlation with miR-34c. Then immunohistochemical staining was done to observe the morphology of swine testicular tissue at 2-days and 3, 4, 5-months of age, which indicated that PDGFRA was mainly expressed in the support cells near the basement membrane during the early development stages of testicular tissue, but that the expression of PDGFRA was gradually reduced in later stages. Therefore, western blot analyzed that the highest expression of PDGFRA was generated in 2-days old testicular tissues and the expression levels reduced at 3 and 4-months old, which correlated with the results of immunohistochemical staining. In conclusion, PDGFRA is a target gene of miR-34c.

Multi-Focus Image Fusion using Self-Similarity and Depth Information in Nonsubsampled Shearlet Transform Domain

Liu Shuaiqi,Zhu Zhihui,Li Huiya,Zhao Jie,Wen Xin 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Signal Processing, Image Vol.9 No.1

Combined with the shared similarity among multiple source images and depth of field in a camera, a new image fusion algorithm based on nonsubsampled shearlet transform (NSST) domain is proposed. First, NSST is utilized for decomposition of the source images, the low frequency coefficients is fused by weight votes in the structure-driven regions by using shared similarity and depth of field (SSSID), and then apply larger sum-modified-Laplacian (SML) with depth of field to the high frequency coefficients, finally the fusion image is gained after we do the inverse NSST to the fused coefficients. The algorithm can not only preserve the information of the source images well, but also suppress pixel distortion due to nonlinear operations in transform domain. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art transform domain fusion methods on image quality and objective fusion criteria.

Tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L.) is an economic crop and a model organism for studies of plant biology and genetics. As an allotetraploid plant generated from interspecific hybridization, tobacco has a massive genome (4.5 Gb). Recently, a genetic map with 45,081 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers was constructed using whole-genome sequencing data for a tobacco population including 274 individuals. This provides a basis for quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping and genomic selection, which have been widely applied to other crops but have not been feasible in tobacco. Based on this high-density genetic map, we identified QTLs associated with important agronomic traits, chemical compounds in dry leaves, and hazardous substances in processed cigarettes. The LOD values for major QTLs were highest for agronomic traits, followed by chemical compounds and hazardous substances. In addition to the identification of molecular markers, we evaluated genomic selection models and found that BayesB had the highest prediction accuracy for the recombinant inbred line population. Our results offer new insights into the genetic mechanism underlying important traits, such as agronomic traits and quality-related chemical compounds in tobacco, and will be able to support the application of molecular breeding to tobacco.

Sun, Hao,Chen, Zhihui,Ma, Chengzhan,Lian, Lina,Zhao, Zeyu,Niu, Shupeng,Xu, Liangmei,Sun, Jinhua Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2022 Animal Bioscience Vol.35 No.5

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different degrees of maternal dietary energy restriction on lipid deposition in embryonic tissues during the medium laying period (37 to 39 weeks) in Arbor Acres (AA) broiler breeders. Methods: A single factor design was adopted, and 400 AA broiler breeders (20 weeks of age) with a similar weight were randomly allocated into four groups. The birds in the control group were fed a corn-soybean meal based diet, and those in trial groups were fed diets with 80%, 70%, and 50% energy levels of the basal diet. Incubated eggs from the medium laying period were collected. Samples of developing embryos at various stages were prepared for composition analysis. Results: The embryo weight in the 80% energy group was higher than those of the other groups on embryonic day (E) 13, but at 21 E, they were significantly decreased with decreasing energy intake of the broiler breeders (p<0.05). Additionally, the levels of crude fat in tissues in the restriction groups were significantly decreased (p<0.05). The long axis and area of adipocytes in breast muscle, thigh muscle and the liver were significantly decreased (p<0.05) at 21 E in the 80%, 70%, and 50% energy groups. Conclusion: The effects of the 80% maternal dietary energy restriction energy affects egg production performance, egg quality, and nutrient deposition in egg weights, which then directly impacts on the developmental process of embryos, especially on fat utilization and deposition.

Dai Zhang,Yuan Zhou,Dongmei Zhao,Zhihui Yang,Mingming Zhu,Jiehua Zhu 한국유전학회 2017 Genes & Genomics Vol.39 No.9

Pectobacterium atroseptica is known as a rod-shaped gram-negative bacterial pathogen associated with the blackleg of potato. P. atroseptica has been widely identified as the predominant agent causing tuber rot in temperate regions, a disease that leads to severe economic losses to potato industry. In this study, we provide the complete genome sequence of P. atroseptica JG10-08, which revealed that P. atroseptica strain JG10-08 carries a single 5,004,926 bp chromosome with 51.15% G+C content and harbors 4252 predicted coding genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on the genome sequences showed a close evolutionary relationship between P. atroseptica and Pectobacterium wasabiae. We discovered total 168 genes were potentially related to pathogenesis including 9 strainspecific genes encoding toxins on the genome of JG10-08. Further comparison with other species in Pectobacterium revealed a better understanding of pathogenic factors, especially secretion systems in P. atroseptica JG10-08. Collectively, the results of this research provide a solid foundation for discovering the underlying pathogenic mechanisms of P. atroseptica and offer the information to develop more effective strategies against blackleg of potatoes.

Ginsenoside Rg3 Inhibition of Thyroid Cancer Metastasis Is Associated with Alternation of Actin Skeleton

Wenshuang Wu,Qian Zhou,Wanjun Zhao,Yanping Gong,Anping Su,Feng Liu,Yang Liu,Zhihui Li,Jingqiang Zhu 한국식품영양과학회 2018 Journal of medicinal food Vol.21 No.9

Ginsenoside Rg3, a bioactive constituent from Panax ginseng, is a worldwide well-known traditional Chinese medicine used as a tonic. It also has good antitumor activity by inhibiting tumors metastasis. Tumor metastasis is a high risk in thyroid cancer. However, the effect and molecular mechanism underlying the antimetastatic activity of Rg3 in thyroid cancer have not been reported. In our study, we found that Rg3 inhibited the growth of thyroid cancer in vitro and in vivo and significantly inhibited metastasis of thyroid cancer. Rg3 apparently inhibited the migration and invasion in four papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) cells (TPC-1, BCPAP, C643, and Ocut-2c cells) and pulmonary metastasis in lung metastasis model of C643 cells in nude mice. We further found that a possible mechanism of Rg3 inhibiting thyroid cancer cells metastasis was associated with inhibiting cells actin skeleton function. Rg3 inhibited lamellipodia formation and induced microspike formation by inhibiting Rho GTPase in thyroid cancer cells. Rg3 decreased the levels of Rac-1 and Cdc42 proteins. In addition, Rg3 decreased the expression levels of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 proteins in four thyroid cancer cells. The results that Rg3 remarkably inhibited the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) protein in PTC cells and VEGF-A protein in anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) cells and decreased the staining of CD31 in PTC and ATC tumors hinted that Rg3 might inhibit the lymph node metastasis in PTC and angiogenesis in ATC. These studies suggested that Rg3 might be a useful agent for the treatment of metastatic thyroid cancers.

Zuo Shengjia,Kong Degang,Liu Chunsheng,Li Zhihui,Zhao Yongchao 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of u- and e- Service, Scienc Vol.9 No.10

Pneumatic subsoiling is a new subsoiling technology which uses the pneumatic fracturing principle. To conduct a research on the influence rules of subsoiling pressure to subsoiling quality, the method combining the soil resistivity test and CFD simulation test will be adopted to carry out a pneumatic subsoiling test through taking the increasing rate of soil porosity and soil surface uplift as evaluation index. The test results indicate that after pneumatic subsoiling, the soil porosity of plow pan increases obviously under different subsoiling pneumatic, effective break the plow pan; with the increase of bulk density of plow pan, the spread of the high pressure gas upwards in the plow pan shows a weakening trend and its spread towards horizontal direction shows a enhancing trend; for the plow pan with larger bulk density, the increasing rate of soil porosity and soil surface uplift will increase with the increasing of subsoiling pneumatic accordingly and for the plow pan with smaller bulk density, its regularity is not obvious. Simultaneously, the subsoiling pneumatic and its technical parameters fit for plow pan with different bulk density will be obtained to provide a basis for in-depth research of pneumatic subsoiling technology and development of Pneumatic subsoiling machine.
