According to the mechanism of EMG signal, we know that the sacrificial electrical signal is with weak signal, low frequency, alternating, nonlinear and non-stationary characteristics. Nonlinear analysis includes higher order spectral analysis and fractal and chaos analysis.Chaos theory is one of the main parts of nonlinear science, and the electrical signal of the surface has a strong randomness, so we could consider the nonlinear analysis of EMG signals from the perspective of chaos. We mainly studied on the nonlinear analysis algorithm of EMG signal detailedly in this paper. Experiments show that,according to the quantitative analysis of several important parameters of rolling massage with chaos theory, we can measure objectively the action situation of related muscle groups in the operation course, then guide the professional massage students to understand the norms of operation in training of operation and help to lead their manipulation to the best power structure.

Understanding the tritium release and retention behavior of candidate tritium breeder materials is crucial for breeder blanket design. Recently, a melt spraying process was developed to prepare Li4SiO4 pebbles, which were subsequently subjected to the in-pile tritium production and extraction platform in China Mianyang Research Reactor (CMRR) to investigate their in-situ tritium release behavior and irradiation performance. The results demonstrate that HT is the main tritium release form, and adding hydrogen to the purge gas reduces tritium retention while increasing the HT percent in the purge gas. Post-irradiation experiments reveal that the irradiated pebbles darken in color and their grains swell, but the mechanical properties remain largely unchanged. It is concluded that the tritium residence time of Li4SiO4 made by melt spraying method at 467 ◦C is approximately 23.34 h. High-density Li4SiO4 pebbles exhibit tritium release at relatively low temperatures (<600 ◦C) that is mainly controlled by bulk diffusion. The diffusion coefficient at 525 ◦C and 550 ◦C is 1.19 × 10 11 cm2/s and 5.34 × 10 11 cm2/s, respectively, with corresponding tritium residence times of 21.3 hours and 4.7 hours.

Yue Li,WanWan Li,Minhua Fang,XiaoLin Yao,Chao Chen,Miao Shui,Jie Shu,Yuanlong Ren 한국물리학회 2017 Current Applied Physics Vol.17 No.8

Zn1-xCoxO (0 x 0.15) anode material was prepared by an easy polyacrylamide assisted sol-gel route. The successful replacement of Zinc by Cobalt within Cobalt content x 0.09 was confirmed by structural characterization. The introduction of Cobalt element greatly improved the electro-chemical performances of the matrix Zinc oxide. Without carbon coating, at the 20th cycle, Zn0.91Co0.09O anode still preserved a capacity a little bit more than 1000 mA h g1 and a capacity more than 600 mA h g1 was retained at the end of the 50th cycle. Better rate capability was also witnessed. The SEM, EIS at OCV, CV and in situ XRD were further carried out to elucidate the lithiation mechanism. The role Cobalt doping played can be summarized as follows: the stabilization of the Li2Zn phase, the minimization of charge transfer resistance and the enhanced reversibility of the reduction from metal oxide to metal.

Soil autotrophic bacterial communities play a significant role in the soil carbon (C) cycle in paddy fields, but little is known about how rhizosphere soil microorganisms respond to different long-term (35 years) fertilization practices under double rice cropping ecosystems in southern China. Here, we investigated the variation characteristics of rhizosphere soil RubisCO gene cbbL in the double rice ecosystems of in southern China where such fertilization practices are used. For this experiment we set up the following fertilizer regime: without any fertilizer input as a control (CK), inorganic fertilizer (MF), straw returning (RF), and organic and inorganic fertilizer (OM). We found that abundances of cbbL, 16S rRNA genes and RubisCO activity in rhizosphere soil with OM, RF and MF treatments were significantly higher than that of CK treatment. The abundances of cbbL and 16S rRNA genes in rhizosphere soil with OM treatment were 5.46 and 3.64 times higher than that of CK treatment, respectively. Rhizosphere soil RubisCO activity with OM and RF treatments increased by 50.56 and 45.22%, compared to CK treatment. Shannon and Chao1 indices for rhizosphere soil cbbL libraries with RF and OM treatments increased by 44.28, 28.56, 29.60, and 23.13% compared to CK treatment. Rhizosphere soil cbbL sequences with MF, RF and OM treatments mainly belonged to Variovorax paradoxus, uncultured proteobacterium, Ralstonia pickettii, Thermononospora curvata, and Azoarcus sp.KH33C. Meanwhile, cbbL-carrying bacterial composition was obviously influenced by soil bulk density, rhizosphere soil dissolved organic C, soil organic C, and microbial biomass C contents. Fertilizer practices were the principal factor influencing rhizosphere soil cbbL-carrying bacterial communities. These results showed that rhizosphere soil autotrophic bacterial communities were significantly changed under conditions of different long-term fertilization practices Therefore, increasing rhizosphere soil autotrophic bacteria community with crop residue and organic manure practices was found to be beneficial for management of double rice ecosystems in southern China.

Kim, Jae-Kwang,Yang, Wei,Salim, Jason,Ma, Chao,Sun, Chunwen,Li, Jianqi,Kim, Youngsik The Electrochemical Society 2014 Journal of the Electrochemical Society Vol.161 No.3

<P>In this work, we demonstrate a lithium-water battery that uses oxygen dissolved in water as a cathode, Sr<SUB>0.95</SUB>Ce<SUB>0.05</SUB>CoO<SUB>3-δ</SUB> (SCCO)-copper nanoparticles as an efficient bifunctional catalyst, and with hybrid electrolytes. The SCCO-Cu composite catalyst exhibits an efficient and stable bifunctional catalytic activity, especially for the OER. The round-trip efficiency of the cell with SCCO-Cu nanoparticles catalyst reaches 84.1%, close to that of the 50% Pt/carbon-black catalyst (87.2%). The improved performance of the SCCO-Cu catalyst can be ascribed to the synergetic effect of SCCO and copper. The preliminary results demonstrate that the rechargeable lithium-water battery with oxygen dissolved in water flow can be achieved with high efficient and low cost oxide catalyst. This can be a good candidate for a large stationary energy storage system (ESS) with a low-cost.</P>

<P><B>Summary</B></P> <P>Pro-inflammatory cytokines produced in the tumor microenvironment lead to eradication of anti-tumor immunity and enhanced tumor cell survival. In the current study, we identified tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) as a major factor triggering cancer cell immunosuppression against T cell surveillance via stabilization of programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1). We demonstrated that COP9 signalosome 5 (CSN5), induced by NF-κB p65, is required for TNF-α-mediated PD-L1 stabilization in cancer cells. CSN5 inhibits the ubiquitination and degradation of PD-L1.

Late Paleoproterozoic ultrahigh-temperature metamorphism in the Korean Peninsula

Santosh, M.,Hu, Chao-Nan,Kim, Sung Won,Tang, Li,Kee, Weon-Seo Elsevier 2018 Precambrian Research Vol.308 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>The Paleoproterozoic rock record from the Sino-Korean Peninsula was fundamental to the models on evolution of the Asian continental collage and its relationship with the amalgamation and disruption of Proterozoic supercontinents such as Columbia and Rodinia. In this study, we present results from a comprehensive investigation on the khondalites in the Hongseong area, along the western part of the Gyeonggi massif within the central Korean Peninsula involving petrography, phase equilibria forward modeling, and zircon U-Pb geochronology, REE geochemistry and Lu – Hf isotopes. The <I>P-T</I> pseudosections show that the peak mineral assemblage of garnet + sillimanite + quartz + plagioclase + K-feldspar + ilmenite in the khondalite is stable at 7.5–9.6 kbar and 895–990 °C, corresponding to ultra-high temperature (UHT) metamorphism. We also report the first finding of corundum and quartz inclusions within sillimanite enclosed in garnet porphyroblast further confirming UHT metamorphism. The interpreted <I>P-T</I> path involves decompression and exhumation along a clockwise trajectory as suggested by the retrograde textures and mineral phase equilibria modeling.</P> <P>The detrital zircon U – Pb data from the khondalite show multiple age peaks for the magmatic population suggesting Neoarchean – Paleoproterozoic provenance. Metamorphic zircons from the khondalites yield ages of 1931 ± 33 Ma, 1871 ± 11 Ma and 1866 ± 10 Ma. The spot ages range from 1923 Ma to 1832 Ma suggesting either a long-lived metamorphic event or two distinct thermal events. The REE patterns of the zircon grains also clearly distinguish the magmatic and metamorphic populations. The garnet + sillimanite assemblage is considered to represent the peak UHT assemblage and the cordierite + biotite represents the post-peak retrograde assemblage. The ca. 1923–1832 Ma ages obtained in our study from metamorphic zircon domains correlate well with similar ages reported for metamorphism associated with the amalgamation of crustal blocks within the North China Craton. Our study suggests that the Late Paleoproterozoic UHT metamorphism in the central Korean Peninsula might be part of a common event within the Sino-Korean Craton related to the tectonics of final assembly of cratonic blocks within the Columbia supercontinent. Although a substantial volume of the Paleoproterozoic basement of the Korean Peninsula was destroyed and recycled during the Neoproterozoic and Phanerozoic tectonic events, the preserved remnants provide insights into the contiguity of the basements of the Korean Peninsula and the North China Craton.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> First precise documentation of ultrahigh-temperature metamorphism in Central Korean Peninsula. </LI> <LI> Discovery of corundum + quartz assemblage testifying to extreme thermal conditions. </LI> <LI> Metamorphic zircon grains define ages ranging from 1923 to 1823 Ma. </LI> <LI> Correlation with the North China Craton within the Sino-Korean continental collage. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

Mechanical response of common millet (<i>Panicum miliaceum</i>) seeds under quasi-static compression: Experiments and modeling

Hasseldine, Benjamin P.J.,Gao, Chao,Collins, Joseph M.,Jung, Hyun-Do,Jang, Tae-Sik,Song, Juha,Li, Yaning Elsevier 2017 Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical m Vol.73 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>The common millet (<I>Panicum miliaceum</I>) seedcoat has a fascinating complex microstructure, with jigsaw puzzle-like epidermis cells articulated via wavy intercellular sutures to form a compact layer to protect the kernel inside. However, little research has been conducted on linking the microstructure details with the overall mechanical response of this interesting biological composite. To this end, an integrated experimental-numerical-analytical investigation was conducted to both characterize the microstructure and ascertain the microscale mechanical properties and to test the overall response of kernels and full seeds under macroscale quasi-static compression. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilized to examine the microstructure of the outer seedcoat and nanoindentation was performed to obtain the material properties of the seedcoat hard phase material. A multiscale computational strategy was applied to link the microstructure to the macroscale response of the seed. First, the effective anisotropic mechanical properties of the seedcoat were obtained from finite element (FE) simulations of a microscale representative volume element (RVE), which were further verified from sophisticated analytical models. Then, macroscale FE models of the individual kernel and full seed were developed. Good agreement between the compression experiments and FE simulations were obtained for both the kernel and the full seed. The results revealed the anisotropic property and the protective function of the seedcoat, and showed that the sutures of the seedcoat play an important role in transmitting and distributing loads in responding to external compression.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> The seedcoat of <I>Panicum miliaceum</I> shows remarkable micro-scale suture networks. </LI> <LI> Sophisticated composite plate model was first developed for the seedcoat. </LI> <LI> First experimental-numerical study on a single <I>Panicum miliaceum</I> seed and kernel. </LI> </UL> </P>

Metabolic Regulation of Gene Expression by Histone Lysine β-Hydroxybutyrylation

Xie, Zhongyu,Zhang, Di,Chung, Dongjun,Tang, Zhanyun,Huang, He,Dai, Lunzhi,Qi, Shankang,Li, Jingya,Colak, Gozde,Chen, Yue,Xia, Chunmei,Peng, Chao,Ruan, Haibin,Kirkey, Matt,Wang, Danli,Jensen, Lindy M. Elsevier 2016 Molecular cell Vol.62 No.2

<P><B>Summary</B></P> <P>Here we report the identification and verification of a β-hydroxybutyrate-derived protein modification, lysine β-hydroxybutyrylation (Kbhb), as a new type of histone mark. Histone Kbhb marks are dramatically induced in response to elevated β-hydroxybutyrate levels in cultured cells and in livers from mice subjected to prolonged fasting or streptozotocin-induced diabetic ketoacidosis. In total, we identified 44 histone Kbhb sites, a figure comparable to the known number of histone acetylation sites. By ChIP-seq and RNA-seq analysis, we demonstrate that histone Kbhb is a mark enriched in active gene promoters and that the increased H3K9bhb levels that occur during starvation are associated with genes upregulated in starvation-responsive metabolic pathways. Histone β-hydroxybutyrylation thus represents a new epigenetic regulatory mark that couples metabolism to gene expression, offering a new avenue to study chromatin regulation and diverse functions of β-hydroxybutyrate in the context of important human pathophysiological states, including diabetes, epilepsy, and neoplasia.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Lysine β-hydroxybutyrylation (Kbhb) is a new type of histone mark </LI> <LI> 44 non-redundant histone Kbhb sites are identified in human and mouse cells </LI> <LI> Histone Kbhb increases under starvation and STZ-induced ketoacidosis </LI> <LI> Starvation-induced H3K9bhb is associated with active gene expression </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical Abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>
