Xu Sun,Mengying He,Leilei Kong,Haoliang Qi 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of u- and e- Service, Scienc Vol.9 No.4

In the real life learning process, the teacher communicates with the students for a better learning outcome. The teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm simulates this procedure and shows its great performance in solving the constrained and unconstrained nonlinear optimization problem. This paper presents an adaptive direction strategy(ADS )t o improve the searching ability for the TLBO algorithm. The improved algorithm is tested through searching the optimal points for a few typical testing functions. The testing result shows that the improved TLBO algorithm could obtain better optimal solutions in shorter time. Compared to the normal TLBO algorithm, the stability and effectiveness of the improved algorithm are increased greatly.

Xu, Yang,Guo, Shi-rong,Li, He,Sun, Hong-zhu,Lu, Na,Shu, Sheng,Sun, Jin Korean Society of Horticultural Science 2017 원예과학기술지 Vol.35 No.2

Grafting using a pumpkin (Cucurbita sp.) rootstock is an effective way to improve cucumber (Cucumis sativus) resistance to a combination of chilling and salinity stresses. We evaluated the tolerance of 15 pumpkin cultivars to chilling, salinity, and combined stresses at the germination and seedling stages. Selected plant characteristics, including germination rate, germination potential, germination index, plant height, stem thickness, fresh weight, and dry weight, were analyzed. We used the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean for cluster analyses to determine the stress tolerance levels of the pumpkin cultivars. The 15 cultivars were divided into three clusters: tolerant, moderately tolerant, and susceptible to stress treatments. The stress tolerances of all cultivars were variable in the germination and seedling stages, and most cultivars were not tolerant to individual treatments of chilling or salinity stresses at both stages. These results suggest that identifying suitable cultivars for use as rootstock during cucumber grafting should involve the evaluation of stress tolerance during different growth stages. Additionally, cultivars tolerant to chilling stress may not be tolerant to salinity stress; therefore, the choice of pumpkin rootstock should depend on where the grafted plant will be grown. Cultivars tolerant to a combination of chilling and salinity stresses may be useful as rootstock for cucumber grafting. Our findings may serve as reference material for choosing appropriate pumpkin rootstocks for cucumber grafting.

Perovskite oxides as transparent semiconductors: a review

He Haiying,Yang Zhihao,Xu Yonghang,Smith Andrew T.,Yang Guangguang,Sun Luyi 나노기술연구협의회 2020 Nano Convergence Vol.7 No.32

Traditional transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) have been widely used for various optoelectronic applications, but have the trade-off between conductivity and transmittance. Recently, perovskite oxides, with structural and chemical stability, have exhibited excellent physical properties as new TCOs. We focus on ­SrVO 3 -based perovskites with a high carrier concentration and ­BaSnO 3 -based perovskites with a high mobility for n-type TCOs. In addition, p-type perovskites are discussed, which can serve as potential future options to couple with n-type perovskites to design full perovskite based devices.

ANXA2, a member of the annexin family, is overexpressed and plays important roles in tumor development. However, the significance of ANXA2 expression in gastric carcinoma has not been clarified.To elucidate its roles in growth of gastric cancer, ANXA2 expression in SGC-7901 cells was inhibited with a designated siRNA, then cell proliferation, cell cycling, apoptosis and motility were determined by MTT assay, flow cytometry, Hoechst 33342 staining and wound healing assay, respectively. To further assess the behavior of ANXA2 deleted SGC-7901 cells, changes of microstructures were observed under fluorescence microscopy, laser scanning confocal microscopy and electron microscopy. We found that inhibition of ANXA2 expression caused cell proliferation to decrease significantly with G1 arrest, motility to be reduced with changes in pseudopodia/filopodia structure and F-actin and ${\beta}$-tubulin expression, and apoptosis to be enhanced albeit without significance. At the same time, ANXA2 deletion resulted in fewer pseudopodia/filopodia, non-stained areas were increased, contact inhibition among cells reappeared, and expression of F-actin and ${\beta}$-tubulin was decreased, with induction of polymerized disassembled forms. Taken together, these data suggest that ANXA2 overexpression is important to maintain the malignancy of cancer cells, and this member of the annexin family has potential to be considered as a target for the gene therapy of gastric carcinoma.

Ternary Phase Diagram-Facilitated Rapid Screening of Double Perovskites As Electrocatalysts for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Sun, Hainan,Hu, Zhiwei,Xu, Xiaomin,He, Juan,Dai, Jie,Lin, Hong-Ji,Chan, Ting-Shan,Chen, Chien-Te,Tjeng, Liu Hao,Zhou, Wei,Shao, Zongping American Chemical Society 2019 Chemistry of materials Vol.31 No.15

<P>The development of cost-effective, non-noble metal electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of paramount importance for sustainable technologies. Efficient screening strategies for electrocatalysts can greatly increase the commercialization speed of these advanced technologies. Here, ternary phase diagrams with large-scale tuning and designated-scale tuning strategies are applied for the first time to provide a new method for screening perovskite oxide-based electrocatalysts for OERs. Specifically, the family of double perovskites (Sr<SUB>2</SUB>Fe<SUB>1.5-<I>x</I>-<I>y</I></SUB>Co<SUB><I>x</I></SUB>Ni<SUB><I>y</I></SUB>Mo<SUB>0.5</SUB>O<SUB>6−δ</SUB>, 0 ≤ <I>x</I>, <I>y</I> ≤ 1.5) was utilized to understand the role of transition metals in perovskite oxides. Ternary phase diagrams can facilitate a rapid screening process, provide a straightforward relationship between phase structures and catalytic activities, and help to confirm the effects of various combinations of transition metals on the OER activity. The Fe-Co system (Sr<SUB>2</SUB>Fe<SUB>1.5-<I>x</I></SUB>Co<SUB><I>x</I></SUB>Mo<SUB>0.5</SUB>O<SUB>6−δ</SUB>) improves the catalytic activities, as demonstrated by the reduced Tafel slope and enhanced stability, while the Fe-Ni system (Sr<SUB>2</SUB>Fe<SUB>1.5-<I>y</I></SUB>Ni<SUB><I>y</I></SUB>Mo<SUB>0.5</SUB>O<SUB>6−δ</SUB>) improves the surface kinetic properties of the OER, as demonstrated by its reduced overpotential. Significantly, the Co, Ni, and Fe ternary phase systems can serve as the synergistic coactive sites (Sr<SUB>2</SUB>Fe<SUB>1.5-<I>x</I>-<I>y</I></SUB>Co<SUB><I>x</I></SUB>Ni<SUB><I>y</I></SUB>Mo<SUB>0.5</SUB>O<SUB>6−δ</SUB>) to catalyze the OER, resulting in an improved overall OER performance. This systematic study not only demonstrates a new strategy to allow the rapid screening of double perovskite OER catalysts based on large-scale tuning and designated-scale tuning strategies but, more importantly, also provides an insightful understanding of the use of multitransition metal-based double perovskites for catalysis of the OER.</P> [FIG OMISSION]</BR>

InP/InGaAs/InP DHBT structures with N+ doped composite collectors grown by gas source molecular beam epitaxy

Anhuai Xu,Likun Ai,Hao Sun,Ming Qi,Shubing Su,Xinyu Liu,Xunchun Liu,He Qian 한양대학교 세라믹연구소 2006 Journal of Ceramic Processing Research Vol.7 No.2

InP/InGaAs/InP double heterojunction bipolar transistor (DHBT) structural materials with N+ doped composite collectors were designed and grown successfully by gas source molecular beam epitaxy (GSMBE). High-quality lattice-matched InGaAs/ InP hetero epi-layers were obtained through optimizing the growth conditions. The performance of InP/InGaAs/InP DHBTs with a thin heavily doped n-type InP layer at the base-collector interface was also demonstrated. It was shown that the energy barrier between the base and collector was effectively eliminated by a 3 nm thick n-type InP layer with ND=3×1019 cm−3. The DHBT devices with an emitter size of 2×12 μm2 showed fT > 80 GHz and BVceo > 9 V, which can be comparable to the results reported for DHBTs with a graded layer between the base and collector.

Weiming He,Yuguang Xu,Chaoyang Gong,Xiaozhen Liu,Yuqiang Wu,Xi Xie,Jiazhen Chen,Yi Yu,Zhiyong Guo,Qiang Sun 대한초음파의학회 2023 ULTRASONOGRAPHY Vol.42 No.4

Purpose: The aim of this study was to quantify renal microcirculatory perfusion in braindead donors using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS), and to establish an accurate, noninvasive, and convenient index for predicting delayed graft function (DGF) post-transplantation. Methods: In total, 90 brain-dead donor kidneys (training group, n=60; validation group, n=30) examined between August 2020 and November 2022 were recruited in this prospective study. CEUS was performed on the kidneys of brain-dead donors 24 hours before organ procurement and time-intensity curves were constructed. The main measures were arrival time, time to peak, and peak intensity of the kidney segmental arteries, cortex, and medulla. Recipients were divided into DGF and non-DGF groups according to early post-transplant graft function. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to assess diagnostic performance. Results: The arrival time of the kidney segmental artery and cortex and the time interval between the time to peak of the segmental artery and cortex were identified as independent factors associated with DGF by multivariate stepwise regression analysis. A new index for the joint prediction model of three variables, the contrast-enhanced ultrasonography/Kidney Donor Profile index (CEUS-KDPI), was developed. CEUS-KDPI showed high accuracy for predicting DGF (training group: AUC, 0.91; sensitivity, 90.5%; specificity, 92.3%; validation group: AUC, 0.84; sensitivity, 75.0%; specificity, 92.3%). Conclusion: CEUS-KDPI accurately predicted DGF after kidney transplantation. CEUS may be a potential noninvasive tool for bedside examinations before organ procurement and may be used to predict early renal function after kidney transplants kidneys from donors after brain death.
