Wenjing Li,Wei Yuan,Xincheng Zhao,Yunhe Li,Kongming Wu 한국응용곤충학회 2017 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.20 No.4

The polyphagous mirid bug Apolygus lucorum (Hemiptera: Miridae) is an important pest of cotton and other crops in China. It would be useful to examine the reproductive biology of A. lucorum for the development of management strategies. In this study, the effect of mating on ovarian development, egg maturation, and oviposition of A. lucorum was investigated. The results showed that mating could induce ovary development and oviposition. During the preoviposition period (< 7 days after emergence), mated females had more follicles than did virgin females at both the vitellogenic and mature stages. The length of the longest ovariole and extent of ovarian development in mated females were also significantly higher than in virgin females. During oviposition, mated females laid more eggs than virgin females, whereas virgin females had more mature follicles than the mated females did. Twenty days after emergence (an old age for this species), the ovaries of mated females had begun to shrink and enter senescence phases, while the ovaries of virgin females still contained 3–5 follicles in each ovariole and remained plump. The results indicate that mating accelerated ovarian development and reproduction of A. lucorum.

Wenjing Xu,Wensheng Zhang,Yan Li,Wei Li 한국화학공학회 2016 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.33 No.9

A new acrylic-lignosulfonate resin (ALR) was obtained by radical polymerization using calcium lignosulfonate (LS-Ca) and acrylic acid (AA) as raw materials. ALR was characterized using FT-IR, SEM, TG-DSC and N2 adsorption–desorption surface area and pore size analyzer. Batch adsorption, including initial concentration, time, pH, dosage and temperature on the adsorption of crystal violet (CV) by ALR, was systematically studied. The ALR contained porous structure and the specific surface area of ALR was 190.55m2/g with average pore diameter 11.34 nm. The kinetic and equilibrium data fitted into the pseudo-second-order model and Freundlich isotherm model, respectively. The adsorption process was slightly influenced in the range of pH=3-12. The maximum adsorption capacity of CV was found to be as high as 150.40±4.80mg/g for 24 h at 25 oC. Thermodynamic parameters were evaluated, and their values indicated that adsorption of CV on ALR was an exothermic process and spontaneous.

Wenjing Li,Ying Bei,Xiangqiang Pan,Jian Zhu,Zhengbiao Zhang,Tinglin Zhang,Jieting Liu,Dan Wu,Meng Li,Yan Wu,Jie Gao 한국생체재료학회 2023 생체재료학회지 Vol.27 No.00

Background Multifunctional hydrogels with controllable degradation and drug release have attracted extensive attention in diabetic wound healing. This study focused on the acceleration of diabetic wound healing with selenidelinked polydopamine-reinforced hybrid hydrogels with on-demand degradation and light-triggered nanozyme release. Methods Herein, selenium-containing hybrid hydrogels, defined as DSeP@PB, were fabricated via the reinforcement of selenol-end capping polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogels by polydopamine nanoparticles (PDANPs) and Prussian blue nanozymes in a one-pot approach in the absence of any other chemical additive or organic solvent based on diselenide and selenide bonding-guided crosslinking, making them accessible for large-scale mass production. Results Reinforcement by PDANPs greatly increases the mechanical properties of the hydrogels, realizing excellent injectability and flexible mechanical properties for DSeP@PB. Dynamic diselenide introduction endowed the hydrogels with on-demand degradation under reducing or oxidizing conditions and light-triggered nanozyme release. The bioactivity of Prussian blue nanozymes afforded the hydrogels with efficient antibacterial, ROS-scavenging and immunomodulatory effects, which protected cells from oxidative damage and reduced inflammation. Further animal studies indicated that DSeP@PB under red light irradiation showed the most efficient wound healing activity by stimulating angiogenesis and collagen deposition and inhibiting inflammation. Conclusion The combined merits of DSeP@PB (on-demand degradation, light-triggered release, flexible mechanical robustness, antibacterial, ROS-scavenging and immunomodulatory capacities) enable its high potential as a new hydrogel dressing that can be harnessed for safe and efficient therapeutics for diabetic wound healing.

Earth fissures in Su-Xi-Chang land subsidence areahave induced massive damages to the area. The non-linear characteristicassociated with the process of earth fissure formation requiresnon-linear method for evaluating the occurrence of the hazard. Based on quantification of influence factors on breeding the hazard,GA-ANN method, which integrates artificial neural networks(ANN) with genetic algorithms (GA), is developed for evaluating theoccurrence of earth fissure hazard. Six indicators, that include thedepth of bedrock burial (DBB), the degree of bedrock relief (DBR),water level (WL) (the II confined aquifer), the gradient of landsubsidence (GLS), transmissivity (T) (the II confined aquifer) andthe thickness of clay soil (TCS), are selected as the input patternsof the integrated approach, and danger index (DI) as the outputpattern. A multilayer back-propagation neural network is trainedwith 30 sets of data samples including 15 sets of earth fissure samplesand 15 sets of safety samples for defining the architecture ofANN. Subsequently, GA is employed by optimizing the initial weightsof trained ANN by minimizing the deviation of output. The efficacy ofthe integrated approach is demonstrated by comparing the deviationof output from ANN and GA-ANN for 5 testing samples andthe result shows that the GA-ANN method is more accurate thanANN in identifying the occurrence of earth fissure. The integratedmethod is applied to the assessment of earth fissure hazard in typicalregions of earth fissure. According to the classification of DI, theregions are divided into four zones ‒ danger zone, sub-danger zone,sub-safe zone and safe zone.

Palm Vein Recognition Using Directional Features Derived from Local Binary Patterns

Wenjing Lu,Meini Li,Lei Zhang 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Signal Processing, Image Vol.9 No.5

Vein-based biometrics is a newly developed technology for personal recognition, and it is widely used in practice and intensively studied. This paper proposes a method for palm vein recognition based on the directional information derived from local binary patters. In the proposed method, palm vein images are firstly enhanced using a multi-scale Gaussian matched filter to emphasize vein patterns before feature extraction. After that, local binary patterns are extracted from the enhanced palm vein images. Considering that the direction is the most discriminative feature of veins, the directional information is then computed from the local binary patterns. The computed palm vein features are represented as binary series, therefore, similarities can be computed efficiently by binary operation. Experiments carried out over the near infer-red band of the PolyU multispectral database shows the superiority of the proposed method on verification accuracy to some state-of-the-art literatures.

Color filters based on a nanoporous Al-AAO resonator featuring structure tolerant color saturation.

Yue, Wenjing,Li, Yang,Wang, Cong,Yao, Zhao,Lee, Sang-Shin,Kim, Nam-Young Optical Society of America 2015 Optics express Vol.23 No.21

<P>Reflection type subtractive tri-color filters, enabling metal-thickness tolerant high color saturation, were proposed and demonstrated capitalizing on a nanoporous metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) resonant structure, which comprises a cavity made of self-assembled nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO), sandwiched between an Al film of the same nanoporous configuration and a highly reflective aluminum (Al) substrate. For the proposed filter, the output color was easily determined by controlling the resonance wavelength via the thickness of the porous AAO cavity. In particular, the spectral response was deemed to exhibit a near-zero resonant dip, thereby achieving enhanced color saturation, which was stably maintained irrespective of the thickness of the porous Al film, due to its reduced effective refractive index. In order to manufacture the proposed color filters on a large scale, a porous Al film of hexagonal lattice configuration was integrated with an identically porous self-assembled AAO layer, which has been grown on an Al substrate. For the realized tri-color filters for cyan, magenta, and yellow (CMY), having a 15-nm Al film, near-zero reflection dips were observed to be centered at the wavelengths of 436, 500, and 600 nm, respectively. The resulting enhanced color saturation was stably maintained even though the variations were as large as 10 nm in the metal thickness.</P>
