This paper mainly studies landslide hazard in Yanbian region,8 landslide factors of soil moisture content, hydrogeology, land use type, slope, slope aspect, fault, river and rainfall are analyzed in the area of Yanbian region. Using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the relative weights of 8 landslide factors were obtained, and the internal weights of each factor were determined by the data; the rainfall factors were then divided into three categories such as average annual rainfall, average flood season rainfall, and the maximum average rainfall. And the comparison of the rainfall factors was made. Finally based on the results of these weights to the remote sensing technology(RS) and geographic information system(GIS) technology combined to evaluate its area, we are mapping the risk assessment area for landslide hazard in Yanbian region. According to the map analysis, figure in the dangerous hierarchies result in accordance with the historical landslides is better. At the same time. landslides and hazard area of statistical data analysis showed that the AHP method combined with GIS technology is suitable for promoting the Yanbian regional landslide hazard assessment.

During the period of Chosun Dynasty, the works named Record of Trip in Yan(燕) by some envoy from Korea to China provided a large number of attractive and rare historical data to future generations. It’s also a complement to something not concerned in official history. These travel notes are important information on researching the history of relation between China and Korea. In the Record of Trip in Yan of Seoktanggong(石塘公), which was written in the style of diary, Kuang Hyeop(權?) recorded the process of his trip in Ming Dynasty as a envoy before the year of 1597 when the War against Japanese Troops happened. The thesis takes the record as basic information, and analyzes the event of requesting rescue when Kuang Hyeop was in Beijing. He went in for purchasing military supplies and the process of determining whether the Ming Dynasty would rescue Chosun. The diplomatic mission of Kuang Hyeop was an important part of the relation between China and Korea during the period of Imjin Waeran. Also, his Record of Trip in Yan provided strong evidence for researching the relation between the two countries.

Ploidy diversity provides valuable scientific information, thus making the detection technique of ploidy important. However, traditional methods of cytological observation and flow cytometry are either laborious or expensive. We here report a simple and rapid, effective and economical quantitative PCR (qPCR) approach to determine the ploidy of a parasitoid species Trichogramma dendrolimi Matsumura, an economically important biocontrol agent. We applied a mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase (COI) and a nuclear gene forkhead to evaluate the mitochondrial number per nuclear copy in a thelytokous Wolbachia-infected strain of T. dendrolimi and its bisexual uninfected counterparts. The 2 −ΔCq values calculated from C q values which resulted from qPCR experiments were significantly larger in haploid males than that in diploid females. Haploid males possessed about 2.69 times mitochondrial number per nuclear copy as diploid females. Not a single significant difference was found between diploid females from thelytokous and bisexual strains. Based on the differences in relative mitochondrial content, we were allowed to distinguish between haploid males and diploid females. Moreover, the number of mitochondria significantly decreased with higher ploidy level but was not affected by Wolbachiainfection. Our study supplied an available tool to investigate the ploidy diversity in sex determination of T. dendrolimi and thelytokous manipulation of Wolbachia, which is the crucial step to further study their underlying mechanisms. This will in turn contribute to the biocontrol efficiency by enhancing the female production and hence the parasitism rate.

Xing‑Quan Liu,Zhe Li,Zhen‑Jia Peng,Rui‑Xun Wang,Zhi‑Quan Liu 대한금속·재료학회 2024 METALS AND MATERIALS International Vol.30 No.1

Electroplated copper is a key electronic interconnect material in integrated circuits and printed circuits and inevitablyexposed to corrosive media in manufacturing processes. The present work reports, for the first time, that corrosion resistanceof electroplated copper in 4 wt% NaOH is enhanced via nanotwinned microstructure engineering. Nucleation and growthof oxide/hydroxide on nanotwinned copper are inhibited, attributed to existence of highly (111)-preferred grain orientationand high-density parallelly-aligned coherent twin boundaries at surface. This study unveils a novel anti-corrosion strategyof nantowinned microstructure engineering against alkaline etchant, and exhibits great application values in industrial electroplatingof copper, silver, or their alloys.

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are potent protein toxins for cancer therapy, and they have strongability to inhibit protein synthesis and induce cell death via inactivation of ribosomes in eukaryotic cells. However, the delivery of RIPs has been a challenging task due to their large molecular weight and lack oftargeting property. Low molecular weight protamine (LMWP), a transmembrane peptide, has beenproved to effectively promote transmembrane transportation, whereas the enzyme-activatable systemcan enhance the specificity by enhancing the tumor drug concentration through enzymatic reaction. Weherein constructed a self-assembly and stimuli-responsive fusion gelonin delivery system. Gelonin, atypical RIP protein, was assembled with nickel ferrite nanoparticles by self-assembling between hexa-histidine tag (His-tagged) and nickel ions. Both in vitro and in vivo results indicated that the magneticnanoparticle carriers and the applied linkers did not damage the pharmaceutical effect of gelonin, andthe whole drug delivery system showed good biocompatibility, sensitive selectivity, and significantlyenhanced cytotoxic activity. This in turn presented theranostic nanoparticles as efficient delivery vehiclefor clinical use.

Cooperative Control Feedback: On Backoff Misbehavior of CSMA/CA MAC in Channel-Hopping Cognitive Radio Networks

Quan Liu,Yong Lu,Gang Hu,Shaohe Lv,Xiaodong Wang,Xingming Zhou 한국통신학회 2018 Journal of communications and networks Vol.20 No.6

Due to dynamic channel availability in cognitive radionetworks (CRNs), rendezvous problem is known as the mostchallenging issue in the design of media access control (MAC)protocol, which is a key step for secondary users (SUs) to startcommunication. With the concept of blind rendezvous, numerouschannel-hopping sequence (CHS) based rendezvous schemeshave been proposed to solve this problem in these years. Currently,little attention is paid to the design of a carrier sensing multipleaccess/collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) MAC based on theserendezvous schemes and also the rendezvous de-synchronizationproblem brought by multiple rendezvous networking paradigminto MAC design. To this end, we propose a cooperative channelhoppingbased CSMA/CA MAC (named CoCH-CSMA/CA MAC)which works on the top of existing CHS based rendezvous schemes. Resulting from the rendezvous de-synchronization problem, a newtype of collision, named false collision, is identified. As a SU cannotdiscern the false collision by itself, we design a cooperative controlfeedback scheme which employs correlation-based signal detectionto reduce the coordination overhead of cooperation and helps SUsto avoid backoff misbehavior. Moreover, we analyze the behavior ofour MAC protocol and its advantage. Extensive simulations provethat the cooperative control feedback scheme can effectively alleviatethe impact of rendezvous de-synchronization problem on backoffmisbehavior and improve network performance.

Attack-Proof Cooperative Spectrum Sensing Based on Consensus Algorithm in Cognitive Radio Networks

( Quan Liu ),( Jun Gao ),( Yunwei Guo ),( Siyang Liu ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2010 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.4 No.6

Cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) is an effective technology for alleviating the unreliability of local spectrum sensing due to fading/shadowing effects. Unlike most existing solutions, this paper considers the use of CSS technology in decentralized networks where a fusion center is not available. In such a decentralized network, some attackers may sneak into the ranks of cooperative users. On the basis of recent advances in bio-inspired consensus algorithms, an attack-proof, decentralized CSS scheme is proposed in which all secondary users can maintain cooperative sensing by exchanging information locally instead of requiring centralized control or data fusion. Users no longer need any prior knowledge of the network. To counter three potential categories of spectrum sensing data falsification (SSDF) attacks, some anti-attack strategies are applied to the iterative process of information exchange. This enables most authentic users to exclude potentially malicious users from their neighborhood. As represented by simulation results, the proposed scheme can generally ensure that most authentic users reach a consensus within the given number of iterations, and it also demonstrates much better robustness against different SSDF attacks than several existing schemes.

Liu, Xing-Quan,Kim, Young-Sun,Lee, Kyu-Seung The Korean Society of Environmental Agriculture 2005 한국환경농학회지 Vol.24 No.3

The objective of the present work was to determine the corresponding uptake and assimilation of ${NO_3}^-$ in roots and shoots of leafy radish by applying of mixed amino acids (MAA). The amino acids used in this experiment were alanine (Ala), ${\beta}-alanine\;({\beta}-Ala)$, aspartic acid (Asp), asparagines (Asn), glutamic acid (Glu), glutamine (Gln), and glycine (Gly). Leafy radish was grown by conventional fertilization with macro- and micronutrients under controlled conditions. The 15-day-old seedlings were treated 0, 0.3 and 3.0 mM of MAA containing 5 mM ${NO_3}^-$ in growth medium. Nitrate uptake was determined by following ${NO_3}^-$ depletion from the uptake solution. The activity of the enzymes related to the process of ${NO_3}^-$ reduction (NR: nitrate reductase; NiR: nitrite reductase; GS: glutamine synthetase) and the content of ${NO_2}^-\;and\;{ND_3}^-$ were analyzed in shoots and roots. The results of this study showed that ${NO_3}^-$ uptake was inhibited 38% with treatment of 0.3 mM of MAA. However, there was more than three times increase of N03- uptake in 3.0 mM MAA. In addition, the enzymatic activities were positively affected by the high MAA rate. Finally, the ${NO_3}^-$ content was increased slightly both in shoots and roots of leafy radish by MAA treatments.

Liu, Yuan,Ma, Jing-Yue,Luo, Su-Ju,Sun, Chen-Wei,Shao, Li-Li,Liu, Quan-Zhong Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2015 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.16 No.3

Semaphoring is a transmembrane receptor which participates in many cytokine-mediated signal pathways that are closely related to the angiogenesis, occurrence and development of carcinoma. The present study was designed to access the effect of mono-antibody (mAb) guided radioimmunotherapy (RIT) on skin carcinoma and investigate the potential mechanisms. Semaphoring mAb was acquired from mice (Balb/c), purified with rProtein A column; purity, concentration and activity were tested with SDS-PAGE and indirect ELISA; specificity and expression on the cutanuem carcinoma line and tissue were tested by Western blotting; morphology change was assessed by microscopy. MTT assay and colony inhibition tests were carried out to test the influence on the proliferation of tumor cells; Western blotting was also carried out for expression of apoptosis-associated (caspase-3, Bax, Bcl-2) and proliferation-related (PI3K, p-Akt, Akt, p-ERK1/2, ERK1/2) proteins and analyse the change in signal pathways (PI3K/Akt and MEK/ERK). The purity of purified semaphorin mAb was 96.5% and the titer is about $1{\times}10^6$. Western blotting showed semaphoring mAb to have specifically binding stripes with semaphoring b1b2 protein, B16F10, and A431 cells at 39KDa, 100KDa and 130KDa, respectively. Positive expression was detected both in cutanuem carcinoma line and tissue and it mostly located in cell membranes. MMT assay revealed dose-relate and time-relate inhibitory effect of semaphorin mAb on A431 and B16F10. Colony inhibition tests also showed dose-relate inhibitory effects. Western blotting demonstrated the expression of apoptosis and proliferation-related protein and changes in signal pathway. In conclusion, we demonstrated that semaphorin is highly expressed on the tumor cell-surfaces and RIT with semaphorin mAb has effect in i nhibiting proliferation and accelerating apoptosis of tumor cells.
