The Shulu Sag is a typical rift valley basin in easternChina, where the formation mechanism of Cenozoic salt-bearingseries has been poorly understood. In this paper, petrologic analysis,X-ray powder Diffraction (XRD) analysis and the analysis ofhalite ion concentrations of the first member of the Shahejie Formationfrom two drilling cores were conducted to interpret theformation mechanism of these salt-bearing series in Shulu Sag. Theresults indicated that the salt-bearing series is mainly composed of calcilutiteor mudstone at top and bottom, and anhydrite-bearing haliteand thin interbeds of salt-bearing calcilutite and dark grey shale inthe middle part. These thin interbeds with porphyritic or petalshapedglauberite crystals or some thinner dark grey shale interbedsseparated halites into several members with the average thicknessof only 9~12 cm in the two drilling holes. This typical rhythmicpattern due to frequent alternation of concentration was evidencedby the variation of chemical composition and hydrogen isotopes ofhalite fluid inclusions. The presence of large number of primaryfluid inclusions within chevron crystals and vertically orientedbottom-growth crystals showed that the halite were precipitated inshallow water (<60 cm). These features are direct evidence for thisfrequent alternation of dissolution and concentration of brines andterrigenous detrital-chemical shallow-water sedimentary model ofthese small rift-valley basins in eastern China.

The memristive effect become a bio-electronics research focus with the development of sustainable systems and the application of multifunctional electronic devices. In this paper, the natural Lophatherum gracile Brongn (LGB) was employed as active layer to prepare Ag/LGB/fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) bio-memristor. Further, different doping ratios nano silver powders (Ag nanoparticle) were doped into LGB functional layers at 0 wt%, 0.2 wt%, 0.33 wt%, 1.0 wt%, 2.0 wt%, 10.0 wt% and 20.0 wt%. It is found that the capacitive-coupled memristive performance of the Ag/Ag-doped-LGB/FTO devices was markedly changed. Finally, it is confirmed that Ag ions transferring and Ag filament formation under the applied voltage are responsible for capacitive-coupled memristive behavior. This research has revealed the realization of capacitive-coupled memristive effect of biomemristor, which opens a new way to achieve multifunctional performance for electronic device.

The goat Capra hircus is one of several economically important livestock in China. Advances in molecular genetics have led to the identification of several single nucleotide variation markers associated with genes affecting economic traits. Validation of single nucleotide variations in a whole-transcriptome sequencing is critical for understanding the information of molecular genetics. In this paper, we aim to develop a large amount of convinced single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for Cashmere goat through transcriptome sequencing. In this study, the transcriptomes of Cashmere goat skin at four stages were measured using RNA-sequencing and 90% to 92% unique-mapped-reads were obtained from total-mapped-reads. A total of 56,231 putative SNPs distributed among 10,057 genes were identified. The average minor allele frequency of total SNPs was 18%. GO and KEGG pathway analysis were conducted to analyze the genes containing SNPs. Our follow up biological validation revealed that 64% of SNPs were true SNPs. Our results show that RNA-sequencing is a fast and efficient method for identification of a large number of SNPs. This work provides significant genetic resources for further research on Cashmere goats, especially for the high density linkage map construction and genome-wide association studies.

A High Precision Compound Control Scheme Based on Non-singular Terminal Sliding Mode and Extended State Observer for an Aerial Inertially Stabilized Platform

Xiangyang Zhou,Yanjun Shi,Lingling Li,Rui-fang Yu,Libo Zhao 제어·로봇·시스템학회 2020 International Journal of Control, Automation, and Vol.18 No.6

This paper presents a high precision compound control scheme based on non-singular terminal sliding mode and extended state observer (ESO) for an aerial inertially stabilized platform (ISP) to suppress the effects of multi-source disturbances on the control performance of the ISP. Firstly, a non-singular terminal sliding mode controller is proposed to achieve high disturbance rejection ability, by which the multi-source disturbances are integrally suppressed as an aggregate disturbance. And then, to restrain the chattering effect of the sliding mode control, a disturbance compensation scheme based on the extended state observer is proposed. By the ESO, the disturbances are observed and compensated in real time and hence the chattering effect is significantly alleviated. Meanwhile, a parameter configuration method is proposed to simplify the ESO design. To verify the method, simulations and experiments are conducted. The results show that the proposed compound control scheme has excellent ability in both disturbance rejection and chattering reduction, by which the stabilization precision of the ISP is improved significantly.

Objective: To determine the feasibility of reduced field-of-view diffusion-weighted imaging (rFOV DWI) with multi-b values to detect functional variability in transplanted kidneys. Materials and Methods: Using a 3T MRI scanner, multi-b rFOV DWI of transplanted kidney or native kidney was performed in 40 renal transplantation recipients and 18 healthy volunteers. The patients were stratified, according to an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR): Group 1, eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2; Group 2, eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 and < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2; Group 3, eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2. Total apparent diffusion coefficient (ADCT), perfusion-free ADC (ADCD) and perfusion fraction (FP) of kidneys were calculated and compared among the four groups. Correlations between the imaging results and eGFR were assessed. Results: All volunteers had eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, while 16, 16, and 8 patients were included in Groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively. In the renal cortex, ADCT was higher in Group 1 ([1.65 ± 0.13] x 10-3 mm2/s) than Group 3 ([1.44 ± 0.11] x 10-3 mm2/s) (p < 0.05), and the inter-group differences of FP values were significant (all p < 0.05) (0.330 ± 0.024, 0.309 ± 0.019, 0.278 ± 0.033, and 0.250 ± 0.028 for control group, Groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively). Renal cortical ADCT, ADCD, FP, and renal medullary ADCT and FP correlated positively with eGFR (r = 0.596, 0.403, 0.711, 0.341, and 0.323, respectively; all p < 0.05). When using 0.278 as the cutoff value, renal cortical FP had a sensitivity of 97.1% and a specificity of 66.7% for predicting decreased renal function. Conclusion: Multi-b rFOV DWI presents transplanted kidneys with high resolution, which is a promising functional tool for non-invasively monitoring function of transplanted kidneys.

Based on charge-transfer interaction organic light-response materials: From sphere-like nanoparticles to fibers

Lushan Wang,Tao Wang,Yanxin Jin,Peng Chen,Yanjun Gong,Yingyuan Zhao,Li Yu 한국물리학회 2015 Current Applied Physics Vol.15 No.8

We employed a potent and versatile ionic self-assembly (ISA) to prepare stimuli-responsive supramolecular materials using charged surfactants, N-dodecyl-4-(1-methylpip-erazine)-1,8-naphthalimide iodine [C12ndi]I and oppositely charged small molecule, 4-(phenylazo)benzoic acid sodium (PBAS). By transmission electron microscopy, nanospheres could be observed to transform into nanofibers upon irradiated with UV light (365 nm) for 1 h. The UVevis absorption spectra and fluorescence spectra of the fibers indicate that charge-transfer interaction is regarded as the driving force for the formation of fibers. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations prove that the pep stacking and electrostatic interactions between [C12ndi]I and PBAS contributes significantly to the resulting aggregates. The supramolecular fibers have the potential applications in some fields, e.g. drug delivery and electro-optical devices.

Objective: This study investigated the expression of genes in cashmere goats at different periods of their fetal development. Methods: Bioinformatics analysis was used to evaluate data obtained by transcriptome sequencing of fetus skin samples collected from Inner Mongolia cashmere goats on days 45, 55, and 65 of fetal age. Results: We found that FoxN1, FoxE1, and FoxI3 genes of the Fox gene family were probably involved in the growth and development of the follicle and the formation of hair, which is consistent with previous findings. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction detecting system and Western blot analysis were employed to study the relative differentially expressed genes FoxN1, FoxE1, and FoxI3 in the body skin of cashmere goat fetuses and adult individuals. Conclusion: This study provided new fundamental information for further investigation of the genes related to follicle development and exploration of their roles in hair follicle initiation, growth, and development.

Zhou, Zhengkui,Jiang, Yu,Wang, Zheng,Gou, Zhiheng,Lyu, Jun,Li, Weiyu,Yu, Yanjun,Shu, Liping,Zhao, Yingjun,Ma, Yanming,Fang, Chao,Shen, Yanting,Liu, Tengfei,Li, Congcong,Li, Qing,Wu, Mian,Wang, Min,Wu, Nature Publishing Group, a division of Macmillan P 2015 Nature biotechnology Vol.33 No.4

Understanding soybean (Glycine max) domestication and improvement at a genetic level is important to inform future efforts to further improve a crop that provides the world's main source of oilseed. We detect 230 selective sweeps and 162 selected copy number variants by analysis of 302 resequenced wild, landrace and improved soybean accessions at >11× depth. A genome-wide association study using these new sequences reveals associations between 10 selected regions and 9 domestication or improvement traits, and identifies 13 previously uncharacterized loci for agronomic traits including oil content, plant height and pubescence form. Combined with previous quantitative trait loci (QTL) information, we find that, of the 230 selected regions, 96 correlate with reported oil QTLs and 21 contain fatty acid biosynthesis genes. Moreover, we observe that some traits and loci are associated with geographical regions, which shows that soybean populations are structured geographically. This study provides resources for genomics-enabled improvements in soybean breeding.
