The ionic liquids, 1-vinyl-3-aminopropylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([VAIM][PF6]) and 1-vinyl-3-aminopropylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([VAIM][BF4]) acted as the corrosion inhibitors. Weight lossmeasurements showed the corrosion inhibition efficiencies of [VAIM][PF6] and [VAIM][BF4] were 90.53%and 54.01% at 45 C, respectively. The ILs were mix-type inhibitors. Raising the temperature can have adecreased inhibition efficiency of [VAIM][BF4], while [VAIM][PF6] presented an opposite trend. Inaddition, [VAIM][PF6] obeyed Langmuir monolayer adsorption isotherm, while [VAIM][BF4] obeyed EIAwadykinetic-thermodynamic adsorption for blocking active sites. Moreover, Molecular DynamicSimulations showed that [VAIM][PF6] owned a higher adsorption energy, which may be responsible forthe more adsorption groups of [VAIM][PF6].

Unsymmetrical complex plate and shell structure is one of the common engineering structures. In practice, more redundant materials exist because of the irrationality of this kind of structure with heavy load and multiple working conditions, and the study of its topology optimization has become an engaging topic. Using the SIMP model, topological results show that one side of the main web is a hollow structure, and the other side of the auxiliary web is a truss structure. According to the topological results and considering manufacturable processing, a new structure is redesigned, the size and shape of the redesigned structure is secondary optimized, and the final structure is obtained. The method in this paper not only meets the performance requirements of the unsymmetrical complex plate and shell structures, but also realizes the topology and lightweight. The effectiveness scientific research value of the proposed method is verified by engineering examples.

Yangyang Cai,Zimo Guo,Chunping Ma,Jianya Su 한국응용곤충학회 2019 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.22 No.1

The tobacco cutworm, Spodoptera litura has developed high levels of resistance to frequently-used insecticides, and failures of chemical control has frequently been reported in China. Moreover, the control efficiency of biological control agents was not satisfactory by farmers, and thus the development of novel or combined techniques for such pest control becomes an imperative requirement. In this study the potential application of innate immune-related genes in insect control was investigated. Sldorsal and Slrelish were identified from S. litura. Sldorsals were mainly expressed in epidermal and fatbody of larvae, and Slrelish highly expressed in fatbody and haemolymph of larvae. Their expression characteristic suggests potential roles in defense against fungi or bacteria. The expression of Sldorsal was up-regulated by the challenge of entomogenous fungi Isaria javanica and Beauveria bassiana, however, the expression of Slrelish could only be induced by Escherichia coli challenge. Injection of Sldorsal or Slrelish dsRNA down-regulated the expression level of the corresponding gene and broke specific signaling transduction pathway of innate immunity in S. litura. Knockdown of Sldorsal by RNAi significantly increased the mortality of S. litura larvae caused by I. javanica and B. bassiana, and Slrelish RNAi highly increased the mortality caused by E. coli. Sldorsal and Slrelish are essential genes for innate immunity, their knockdown by RNAi increases S. litura susceptibility to insect pathogens, therefore enhances the mortalities caused by I. javanica, B. bassiana and E. coli respectively.

Anti-inflammation compounds from the seedpods of Pongamia pinnata (L.) Pierre guided by the bioactivity and UPLCHRESIMS

Hong Guo,Zisong Bai,Yangyang Xu,Xueqin Wu,Ning Li,Yan Zhu,Xiaoming Wang,Peng Zhang 대한약학회 2017 Archives of Pharmacal Research Vol.40 No.7

Pongamia pinnata (Linn.) Pierre has anti-inflammatory activity and could significantly decrease serum tumor necrosis factor-a and IL-10 in arthritic rats. Previous research indicated the typical chemical constituent in P. pinnata is furanoflavone. Guided by anti-inflammatory active assay and UPLC-HRESIMS chromatography, 22 compounds were isolated from the ethanol extract of P. pinnata seedpods. One novel furanoflavone, 40-hydroxypinnatin, was elucidated by HRESIMS, 1D- and 2D-NMR spectra. The 21 known compounds, including 9 furanoflavone, were identified by comparing their NMR data with the previous data in reference. In the known compounds, 5 were isolated for the first time from the species. The anti-inflammatory activities were assayed by assessing LPS-induced NO production in BV-2 cells. 12 compounds can inhibit the production of NO without cytotoxicity at concentration of 50 lM. Among them, compounds 4 can significantly inhibit the production of NO, with the IC50 value of 31.36 lM.

Xiangfan Wu,Yangyang Guo,Zuzhi Tian,Fangwei Xie,Yujie Tang 한국자기학회 2022 Journal of Magnetics Vol.27 No.2

Aiming to solve the problem of magnetorheological transmission heat dissipation, a novel magnetorheological fluid transmission device is designed, and the torque of the device is analyzed. Based on electromagnetic theory, the magnetic circuit of the device is designed. The finite element method is used to simulate the magnetic field of the measurement device. Results show that the working magnetic induction can reach 0.5 T when the current is 1.6 A, which can meet design requirements. The magnetic induction intensity in the working space increases with the increase of the excitation current and permeability of the magnetic conductive material; decreases with the increase of the size of the working space; and increases with the increase of the size of the magnetic ring. The magnetic induction intensity in the working area is DT4C, 20 steel, and 45 steel from strong to weak. The experimental results are consistent with the simulation.

A New Theory for Acupuncture: Promoting Robust Regulation

Yuan Xu,Yang Guo,Yuru Song,Kuo Zhang,Yiping Zhang,Qiang Li,Shouhai Hong,Yangyang Liu,Yi Guo 사단법인약침학회 2018 Journal of Acupuncture & Meridian Studies Vol.11 No.1

Robustness, an ability of biological networks to uphold their functionalities in the face of perturbations, is a key characteristic of all living systems. Acupuncture is a procedure in which fine needles are inserted into an individual at discrete points and then manipulated, with the intent of preventing and curing diseases. Acupuncture does not directly eliminate pathogenic factors or pathological tissue; rather, acupuncture enhances the ability of the human body to self-medicate itself by activating complex regulatory systems and by maintaining physiological homeostasis to prevent or treat diseases. From this point of view, the effect of acupuncture on the human body is more likely a kind of regulation to promote robustness. That is to say, acupuncture has the ability to promote robustness. In this article, we review the properties and functions of acupuncture in preventing and treating diseases and in maintaining health by enhancing robustness.

Bo-Chao Zheng,Lina Guo,Yangyang Zhao,Xiaoguang Liu,Zhou Gu 제어·로봇·시스템학회 2022 International Journal of Control, Automation, and Vol.20 No.12

Robust security problem for uncertain cyber-physical systems (CPSs) subject to periodic denial-ofservice (DoS) jamming attacks is investigated based on event-triggered (ET) sliding-mode control (SMC) approach in this paper. First, a new type of SMC approach driven by ET mechanism is constructed using the property of the period DoS jamming attacks. Then, sufficient conditions for robust stabilization of dynamical systems constrained by system parameters and attacks period are proposed. Further, it is proved that the execution time interval of the proposed ET-based SMC strategy has a positive lower bound, and thus Zeno-free behavior occurs during system evolution. Finally, comparisons results show the effectiveness and superiority of this methodology.

Shao Ziyi,Xiao Junting,Guo Xiao,You Siwen,Zhang Yangyang,Li Mingjun,Song Fei,Zhou Conghua,Xie Haipeng,Gao Yongli,Sun Jiatao,Huang Han 한국물리학회 2022 Current Applied Physics Vol.36 No.-

Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite materials have obtained considerable attention due to their exotic optoelectronic properties and extraordinarily high performance in photovoltaic devices. Herein, we successively converted the ultrathin PbI2/MoS2 into the CH3NH3PbI3/MoS2 heterostructures via CH3NH3I vapor processing. Atomic force microscopy (AFM)、Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) measurements prove the high-quality of the converted CH3NH3PbI3/MoS2. Both MoS2 and CH3NH3PbI3 related photoluminescence (PL) intensity quenching in CH3NH3PbI3/MoS2 implies a Type-II energy level alignment at the interface. Temperature-dependent PL measurements show that the emission peak position shifting trend of CH3NH3PbI3 is opposite to that of MoS2 (traditional semiconductors) due to the thermal expansion and electron-phonon coupling effects. The CH3NH3PbI3/TMDC heterostructures are useful in fabricating innovative devices for wider optoelectronic applications.

Fei Song,Xin Wang,Chen Chen,Yangyang Fan,Shunming Tang,Jinshan Huang,Xijie Guo,Xingjia Shen 한국유전학회 2015 Genes & Genomics Vol.37 No.8

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate expression of genes at post-transcriptional level by binding on complementary sequences of target mRNAs and play multiple roles in biological processes. To investigate the differential expression of miRNAs in posterior silk gland (PSG) of silkworm (Bombyx mori) in different periods and regulation of miRNAs on the expression of fibroin genes, Solexa sequencing technology was used to detect miRNAs in PSGs of fourth-instar day-2 larvae and fifth-instar day-3 larvae, respectively. As a result, 466 previously reported miRNAs, and 35 novel miRNAs were detected, and 499 of these detected miRNAs are predicted to target 13,383 genes by target prediction softwares. Additionally, 29 miRNAs expressed differently between the PSG of fourthinstar day-2 larvae and fifth-instar day-3 larvae were found, and the differential expression of these miRNAs may play an important role in the expression of fibroin genes.

Hao Zhang,Yixiao Qin,Jinpeng Gu,Haibiao Gao,Qianqian Jiao,Feng Wang,Zhenshan Guo,Yangyang Zhang,Chenghong Mi 대한토목학회 2021 KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering Vol.25 No.8

The optimization of layout and sizes of the stiffeners in heavy-duty box girder could make this kind of the structure more compact and reasonable, which has certain engineering values. In this study, on the basis of the establishment of parametric finite element model, the function approaching method and gradient search method are combined to form a high-precision optimization algorithm, which makes structural analysis be integrated into the optimization process. The optimization takes the type and location of longitudinal stiffening ribs and the thickness and hole position of transverse diaphragms as design variables, the box girder structural behaviors as constraint conditions, and the total volume as objective function. Finally, the weight is reduced by nearly 7%. More importantly, the new asymmetrical layout of the stiffeners is obtained, the distance between the longitudinal stiffening ribs on the main web and the neutral layer is longer than the distance between the longitudinal stiffening ribs on the secondary web and the neutral layer, and the hole position of transverse diaphragms is close to the secondary web. Compared with the current production of symmetrical layout structure, this layout provides a new idea for the design of stiffeners in the bias-rail box girder.
