摘要:
A new model is proposed to investigate the structure of electricity price in different time periods. A popular method - the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MF-DFA) method is employed to analyze the features achieved from three types of electricity price data after filtering some trends by Fourier detrended fluctuation function. Twelve multifractal parameters are calculated and selected as the characteristic indicators for comparison. Moreover, the minimum number of indicators is determined so that the discriminant accuracy reaches maximum based on Fisher's linear discriminant algorithm (Fisher's LDA) for each time period. These indicators form a multi-dimensional space, in which each point represents a price time series. This allows us to cluster the three price time periods, namely, the low price time periods, the average price time periods and the peak price time periods. Fisher's LDA is employed to evaluate the discriminant accuracy on these three kinds of time periods. Our analysis is then applied to the data in California1999-2000 and PJM2001-2002 electricity markets to demonstrate the applicability of our methods. ©2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

摘要:
Conversion of sewage sludge (SS) into value-added biochar has garnered increasing attention due to its potential applications as a soil amendment and pollutant adsorbent. In this study, we propose a new application of the SS-derived biochar as an advanced bifunctional electrode material (anode and cathode) in microbial fuel cells (MFCs). To function as an anode, the SS amended with various amounts of coconut shell was pressed into a mold and then converted into SS-derived carbon monoliths (SMs) by heat treatment. Meanwhile, powdered SMs (PSMs) were used as the catalysts for oxygen reduction in the cathodes of the MFCs. The maximum power density of 969 ±28 mW m<sup>-2</sup>was achieved from the MFC with a SM anode and a PSM cathode, which was ca. 2.4 times that of the MFC with a graphite anode and a Pt cathode. The enhanced electrical conductivity of the SMs caused by amending the coconut shell resulted in the enrichment of exoelectrogens and the decrease in electron transfer resistance, which were responsible for the excellent performances of the as-prepared electrodes. This study suggests a promising method to convert SS into bifunctional electrode materials, offering a new opportunity for value-added applications of SS-derived biochar. ©The Royal Society of Chemistry 2015.

摘要:
Ascoviruses are double-stranded DNA viruses that are pathogenic to lepidopteran hosts, particularly noctuid larvae. Infection of a larva is characterized by retarded growth, reduced feeding and yellowish body color. In this paper, we reported the growth and development of three major agricultural noctuid insect pests, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), Spodoptera exigua (Hübner) and Spodoptera litura (Fabricius), infected with Heliothis virescens ascovirus 3h (HvAV-3h). Using 10-fold serial dilutions (0 to 7) of HvAV-3h-containing hemolymph to infect S. litura larvae, we found no significant difference in larval mortalities from 0 to 103-fold dilutions; however, significant differences were observed at 104-fold dilution and above. Using a 10-fold dilution of HvAV-3h-containing hemolymph to infect H. armigera, S. exigua and S. litura larvae, we found that the growth and development were significantly affected. All infected larvae could not pupate; the survival times of treated H. armigera, S. litura and S. exigua larvae were significantly longer than untreated control larvae. Body weight showed significant difference between treated and untreated control group from day 1 after inoculation in H. armigera and S. exigua, but day 2 in S. litura. Additionally, food intake also showed significant difference between treated and untreated control group from day 2 after inoculation in H. armigera and S. litura, but day 3 in S. exigua. © 2013 Li et al.

摘要:
There is increasing evidence for considerable interlinking between the responses to heat stress (HS) and light signaling. In the present work, we provide molecular evidence that BBX18, a negative regulator in photomorphogenesis belonging to the B-box zinc finger protein family in Arabidopsis thaliana, is involved in the regulation of thermotolerance. Using quantitative RT-PCR, GUS staining and immunoblot analysis, our results indicate that the expression of BBX18 was induced by HS. BBX18-RNAi and 35S::BBX18 transgenic Arabidopsis plants were obtained for functional analysis of BBX18. Under-expression of BBX18 displayed increased both basal and acquired thermotolerance in the transgenic plants, while over-expression of BBX18 reduced tolerance to HS in transgenic lines. Moreover, when wild-type, BBX18-RNAi and 35S::BBX18 transgenic plants were treated with HS, HR-related digalactosyldiacylglycerol synthase 1 (DGD1) was down-regulated by BBX18 in both normal and heat shock conditions. Besides, the expression levels of Hsp70, Hsp101 and APX2 were increased in BBX18-RNAi transgenic plants, but lower in 35S::BBX18 transgenic plants. However, the expression of HsfA2 was lower in BBX18-RNAi transgenic plants and higher in the 35S::BBX18 after high-temperature treatment. These results suggesting that, by modulated expression of a set of HS-responsive genes, BBX18 weakened tolerance to HS in Arabidopsis. So our data indicate that BBX18 plays a negative role in thermotolerance.

摘要:
Hope is a higher-order cognitive construct relating to expectations of or beliefs in wish fulfillment, which has been conceptualized as consisting of 2 components: pathways thinking (the perceived means available to individuals that allow them to achieve their goals) and agency thinking (belief in one’s ability to succeed in using the identified pathways). We aimed to clarify the measurement structure of the Chinese version of the Adult Dispositional Hope Scale, using a sample of 751 university student participants. We employed confirmatory factor analysis to compare 1-factor, 2-factor, second-order, and bifactor models. The results showed that all models fit the measured data well. However, the bifactor model had the best fit indices, whereas the second-order model was the most consistent with the theoretical measurement model. To verify that hope theory and the corresponding instruments can be confidently applied to cross-cultural samples, it is necessary to further assess their reliability and validity in a Chinese cultural context through a measurement structure analysis. © 2018 Scientific Journal Publishers Limited.

摘要:
The paper proposes several mathematical models of the multidirectional associative memory (MAM) neural network by analyzing its structure. A model of MAM with distributed delays is studied. Under some new assumptions on activation functions, 2<sup>n0[m/2]</sup> invariant subsets of MAM are constructed. Then the existence and the exponential stability of 2<sup>n0[m/2]</sup> periodic solutions located on invariant subsets are obtained by constructing a suitable Liapunov function and a Poincare´mapping. An estimating method of the exponential convergence rate is given. The obtained results are new to MAM neural networks. An example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the results. ©Springer Science+Business Media, LLC. 2011.

摘要:
A Gram-reaction-variable, rod-shaped, motile, facultatively aerobic and endospore-forming bacterium, designated strain GSS02(T), was isolated from a forest soil. Strain GSS02(T) was capable of reducing humic substances and Fe(III) oxides. Strain GSS02(T) grew optimally at 35 degrees C, at pH 78 and in the presence of 1% NaCl. The predominant menaquinone was MK-7. The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C(15:0) and iso-C(16:0) and the polar lipid profile contained mainly phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol, with moderate amounts of two unknown aminophospholipids and a minor amount of one unknown lipid. The DNA G+C content was 53.4 mol%. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain GSS02(T) was related most closely to Paenibacillus terrigena JCM 21741(T) (98.1% similarity). Mean DNA-DNA relatedness between strain GSS02(T) and P. terrigena JCM 21741(T) was 58.8 +/- 0.5%. The phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic results clearly demonstrated that strain GSS02(T) belongs to the genus Paenibacillus and represents a novel species, for which the name Paenibacillus guangzhouensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GSS02(T) ( =KCTC 33171(T) =CCTCC AB 2013236(T)).

摘要:
In this paper, the buckling behaviors of axially functionally graded and non-uniform Timoshenko beams were investigated. Based on the auxiliary function and power series, the coupled governing equations were converted into a system of linear algebraic equations. With various end conditions, the characteristic polynomial equations in the buckling loads were obtained for axially inhomogeneous beams. The lower and higher-order eigenvalues were calculated simultaneously from the multi-roots due to the fact that the derived characteristic equation was a polynomial one. The computed results were in good agreement with those analytical and numerical ones in literature.

Bioaccumulation;Metal pollution;Spiders
摘要:
Heavy metals can accumulate in the bodies of spiders and affect their physiological and ecological traits and/or show toxicological effects. Spiders are thus considered to be potential bioindicators of heavy metal pollution for ecosystem monitoring, due to their superior resistance to and regulation of heavy metals. The metal loads in spider bodies show considerable variation within and among species, metal types, geochemical sites, exposure pathways, spider physiological traits, and other factors. Moreover, the mechanism of physiological regulation and tolerance in spiders to different kinds of heavy metals also varies significantly;it has been shown that those two differences are synergistic effects. Since the ecotoxicology and differences in physiological mechanisms remain unclear, questions and recommendations for possible further research are suggested. ©2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

摘要:
In the past few years, more and more business-to-consumer and enterprise applications run in the heterogeneous clouds. Such cloud bag-of-tasks applications are usually budget constrained, and their scheduling is an essential problem for cloud provider. The problem is even more complex and challenging when the accurate knowledge about task execution time is unknown in advance. Focusing on these challenges, we first build a cloud resource management architecture and stochastic task model, which divides cloud task into two execution parts. Then, we deduce bag-of-tasks applications' schedule length (Makespan) and total cost according to heterogeneous clouds' online feedback information of task first part execution. Thirdly, we formulate this stochastic scheduling problem as a linear programming problem. Lastly, we propose a time and cost multiobjective stochastic task scheduling genetic algorithm, in which can find Pareto optimal schedules for stochastic cloud task that meet its budget constraint. The extensive simulation experiments were carried out on a heterogeneous cloud platform with 400 virtual machines, and tasks were derived from Parallel Workloads Archive and the analysis data of real-world cloud systems. The experimental results show that our proposed stochastic task scheduling genetic algorithm can get shorter schedule length and lower cost with task budget constraints.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus;Phage display;Antiviral peptide
摘要:
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome is an important infectious disease of pigs and has a significant harmful effect on the livestock industry, especially in China. PRRSV ORF1b gene encodes primary proteins which play a vital role during PRRSV replication. In this paper, various 12-amino-acid peptides were displayed. These peptides could bind to the polymerase and helicase of PRRSV ORF1b protein, respectively, in which p9 exerted the highest antiviral activity with an IC50 of 56 mu M, and the minimum toxicity to cells. It was proved that p9 inhibited PRRSV replication in infected MARC-145 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and the amino acid sequence of HRILMRIR was important for antiviral activity of p9. Also, p9 could bind to the cell membrane and penetrated into cells. These result suggested that p9 might be a potential therapeutic drug for PRRSV infection.

摘要:
The maximal information coefficient (MIC) captures dependences between paired variables, including both functional and non-functional relationships. In this paper, we develop a new method, ChiMIC, to calculate the MIC values. The ChiMIC algorithm uses the chi-square test to terminate grid optimization and then removes the restriction of maximal grid size limitation of original ApproxMaxMI algorithm. Computational experiments show that ChiMIC algorithm can maintain same MIC values for noiseless functional relationships, but gives much smaller MIC values for independent variables. For noise functional relationship, the ChiMIC algorithm can reach the optimal partition much faster. Furthermore, the MCN values based on MIC calculated by ChiMIC can capture the complexity of functional relationships in a better way, and the statistical powers of MIC calculated by ChiMIC are higher than those calculated by ApproxMaxMI. Moreover, the computational costs of ChiMIC are much less than those of ApproxMaxMI. We apply the MIC values tofeature selection and obtain better classification accuracy using features selected by the MIC values from ChiMIC.

摘要:
Cadmium (Cd) generates a variety of physiological and ecological toxicity to spiders. However, little is known about the effects of Cd on symbiotic bacteria of spiders. Metatranscriptomics is increasing our knowledge of microorganisms in environment. To better understand the impact of Cd on the symbiotic bacteria of spiders, we generated and compared the metatranscriptomes of the intestinal microorganisms of Pardosa pseudoannulata with and without Cd stress. The community structure of intestinal microorganisms in P. pseudoannulata was composed of 4 kingdoms, namely bacteria, viruses, eukaryotes and archaea, including 46 phyla, 97 classes, 184 orders, 339 families, 470 genera, and 598 species. The abundance of eukaryotes, bacteria and viruses was decreased by 0.14%, 1.22% and 2.52% respectively while the archaea was increased by 99.16% when under Cd stress. We identified 1519 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), including 770 up-regulated and 749 down-regulated genes. The results of KEGG annotation revealed that the expression of genes that are involved in the carbon metabolism, protein and amino acid metabolism and synthesis, glucose metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, and glutathione metabolism were influenced by Cd. Collectively, these findings showed that Cd significantly impacted the community structure and expression of related functional genes of intestinal microorganisms in P. pseudoannulata. © 2018 Elsevier Inc.

摘要:
We investigate the influence of cosmological constant Λ on gravitational lensing. By the method of an elliptic integral, we give out the solution to the null geodesic equation in the Reissner–Nordstrom–de Sitter spacetime. The deflection angle of light is obtained by studying the intrinsic geometry of the spatial equatorial plane in the Reissner–Nordstrom–de Sitter spacetime. By applying the expansion of elliptic integrals, we find the deflection angle in the weak field limit and in the strong field limit, respectively. We find the angular position and magnification of images and discuss its behavior under changed Λ. At last, we give out the higher-order term in the strong field limit.

摘要:
Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that can cause irreversible toxicity to animals, and is an environmental pollutant in farmlands. Spiders are considered to be an excellent model for investigating the impacts of heavy metals on the environment. To date, the changes at the molecular level in the cerebral ganglia of spiders are poorly understood. Cd exposure leads to strong damage in the nervous system, such as apoptosis and necrosis of nerve cells, therefore we conducted a transcriptomic analysis of Pardosa pseudoannulata cerebral ganglia under Cd stress to profile differential gene expression (DGE). We obtained a total of 123,328 assembled unigenes, and 1441 Cd stress-associated DEGs between the Cd-treated and control groups. Expression profile analysis demonstrated that many genes involved in calcium signaling, cGMP—PKG signaling, tyrosine metabolism, phototransduction–fly, melanogenesis and isoquinoline alkaloid biosynthesis were up-regulated under Cd stress, whereas oxidative phosphorylation-related, nervous disease-associated, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease-associated, and ribosomal-associated genes were down-regulated. Here, we provide a comprehensive set of DEGs influenced by Cd stress, and heavy metal stress, and provide new information for elucidating the neurotoxic mechanisms of Cd stress in spiders. © 2018, The Author(s).

摘要:
By using the critical point theory, the existence of a nontrivial homoclinic orbit which decays exponentially at infinity for difference equations containing both advance and retardation is obtained. The proof is based on the Mountain Pass Lemma in combination with periodic approximations. Our results obtained successfully extend and complement the results in the literature.
