With the rapid development of the phosphorus chemical industry, a large amount of phosphogypsum (PG) is discharged. The impurities in PG pollute the surrounding soil, the groundwater and the air in the long-term storage. In this paper, PG as the main raw material is used to study the stable material of inorganic binder in the condition of large dosage of PG. With PG and graded gravel as stabilized materials, and cement and fly ash as binder, materials are mixed to determine the influence of PG ratio and the amount of activator on the mixture. The results show that the mechanical strength of the mixture increased first and then decreased with the increase in the proportion of PG replacing graded gravel in the mixture. The activator significantly improves the properties of the material system and makes a significant contribution to the curing of PG. The best ratio of pretreated PG: cement: fly ash: aggregate is 50:6:5:39. The amount of activator added by the external mixing method is 0.3%, which can make the unconfined compressive strength reach 4.1 MPa after 7d. Finally, water-soluble phosphorus leaching experiment is conducted for all the samples. The results show that phosphorus leaching is so little that no secondary pollution of the environment is caused.

This experiment aims to investigate the impact of probiotic feed on growth performance, carcass traits, plasma lipid biochemical parameters, intramuscular fat and triglyceride content, fatty acid composition, mRNA expression levels of genes related to lipid metabolism, and the activity of the enzyme in Sunit sheep. In this experiment, 12 of 96 randomly selected Sunit sheep were assigned to receive the basic diet or the basic diet supplemented with probiotics. The results showed that supplementation with probiotics significantly increased the loin eye area, and decreased plasma triglycerides and free fatty acids, increasing the content of intramuscular fat and triglycerides in the muscle and improving the composition of the fatty acids. The inclusion of probiotics in the diet reduced the expression of adenosine 5’-monophosphate-activated protein kinase alpha 2 (AMPKα2) mRNA and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1B (CPT1B) mRNA, while increasing the expression of acetyl-CoA carboxylase alpha (ACCα) mRNA, sterol regulatory elementbinding protein-1c (SREBP-1c) mRNA, fatty acid synthase mRNA, and stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 mRNA. The results of this study indicate that supplementation with probiotics can regulate fat deposition and improves the composition of fatty acids in Sunit sheep through the signaling pathways AMPK-ACC-CPT1B and AMPK-SREBP-1c. This regulatory mechanism leads to an increase in intramuscular fat content, a restructuring of muscle composition of the fatty acids, and an enhancement of the nutritional value of meat. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the food science of animal resources and provide valuable references for the production of meat of higher nutritional value.

Bin Sun,Yu-Xiang Zheng,Cong-Hui Xu,Liang-Yao Chen,Peng Zhou,Yue-Rui Chen,Yu-Fei Kong 한국물리학회 2006 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.49 No.5I

In our work, silicon and silica composite .lms were prepared by using a magnetron sputtering method, and the samples were annealed in the temperature range between 200 ±C and 600 ±C. After annealing, the samples were investigated by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), and the SE spectra were measured in the range of 1.5 eV ≫ 4.5 eV with a dual-rotating-element ellipsometer. In order to investigate the microstructure information of the .lm by .tting the SE spectra using the eective- medium approximation (EMA), we modeled the whole .lm by using a multilayer optical model including a surface oxide layer, a composite layer, and substrate layer. We used dierent mixtures to describe the composite layer, and .nally we found that a mixture of amorphous silicon (a-Si), polycrystalline silicon (p-Si), and silicon dioxide had the best .t to the SE spectra. Whereafter, we studied the dependences of the surface roughness, the layer structure, and the composition on the dierent annealing temperatures and found that with increasing annealing temperature, the surface oxide layer grew in thickness, the silicon dioxide maintained its volume fraction, and a-Si transferred to p-Si.

3R Variant of Thymidylate Synthase 5'-untranslated Enhanced Region Contributes to Colorectal Cancer Risk: A Meta-analysis

Lu, Min,Sun, Luhaoran,Yang, Jing,Li, Yue-Yao Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2012 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.13 No.6

Background: Studies investigating the association of 2R/3R polymorphism in the thymidylate synthase 5'-untranslated enhanced region (TSER) and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk have reported conflicting results. Thus, a meta-analysis was performed to summarize the data on the potential association. Methods: Pubmed, Embase and CBM databases were searched for all available studies. Links between the TSER 2R/3R polymorphism and CRC risk were estimated by odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Seven case-control studies with a total of 2723 cases and 4030 controls were included in this meta-analysis. The results showed that the 3R variant of TSER 2R/3R polymorphism contributes to CRC risk in two comparison models (OR 3R vs. 2R =1.10, 95%CI 1.02-1.18, P = 0.015; OR Homozygote comparison model = 1.22 1.04-1.43, 95%CI 1.04-1.43, P = 0.012). Subgroup analyses by ethnicity further demonstrated a contribution in Caucasians with three comparison models (OR 3R vs. 2R = 1.10, 95%CI 1.02-1.19, P = 0.015; OR Homozygote comparison model = 1.21, 95%CI 1.03-1.41, P = 0.019; OR Recessive comparison model = 1.18, 95%CI 1.05-1.33, P = 0.008). However, the association in the Asian population was still uncertain due to the limited data (all P values were more than 0.05). Conclusions: Our meta-analysis suggests that the 3R variant of Thymidylate synthase 5'-untranslated enhanced region 2R/3R polymorphism contributes to gastric cancer risk in the Caucasian population, while any association in Asian populations needs further study.

Remaining useful life prediction of circuit breaker operating mechanisms based on wavelet‑enhanced dual‑tree residual networks

Tailong Wu,Yuan Yao,Zhihao Li,Binqiang Chen,Yue Wu,Weifang Sun 전력전자학회 2024 JOURNAL OF POWER ELECTRONICS Vol.24 No.1

The remaining useful life prediction of circuit breaker operating mechanisms is crucial for the condition-based maintenance of national power grids. To realize accurate remaining useful life prediction, a novel wavelet-enhanced dual-tree residual network is proposed in this paper. Through this wavelet transform, the time series is decomposed into two components (high frequency and low frequency). Then the two decomposed components are fed into two lightweight residual neural network structures. By concatenating the dual-tree features, the remaining useful life of a circuit breaker operating mechanism can be predicted. The proposed network is validated using a full-life cycle experiment of the circuit breaker operating mechanism. Results show that the proposed method has good capability when it comes to predicting the remaining useful life of the circuit breaker operating mechanism. Along with application in the construction of smart grids and green energy, it is expected that the proposed method has potential in running state prognostics of circuit breakers.

Study on Enterprise Value and Asset Structure Optimization of the Iron and Steel Industry in China under Carbon Reduction Strategy

Hong Hong ZHU,Yue Yao SUN,Jin Bao LI 한국유통과학회 2022 The Journal of Asian Finance, Economics and Busine Vol.9 No.3

The iron and steel sector is caught between two worlds: “carbon reduction” and “development.” The goal of this study is to show that optimizing asset structure to boost intangible assets, particularly brand assets, is a viable strategy to achieve low-carbon development. This study uses panel data from 38 A-share companies in China’s iron and steel industry from 2010 to 2020, as well as World Brand Lab data, to create a comprehensive impact index of enterprise value from the standpoint of an asset structure optimization, and to test the impact of intangible assets and brand equity on enterprise value. The findings show that: the asset structure of iron and steel enterprises is closely related to enterprise value, implying that iron and steel industry development necessitates a transformation of quantity control and quality improvement; the proportion of intangible assets in the asset structure of iron and steel enterprises plays a positive and critical role in enterprise value under surplus conditions. The iron and steel industry begins to shift from tangible to intangible assets; there is heterogeneity in the iron and steel industry transformation. Given certain technological levels, the share of brand assets contributes significantly to the increase in enterprise value.

Liu, Jian-Bin,Wang, Fan,Lang, Xia,Zha, Xi,Sun, Xiao-Ping,Yue, Yao-Jing,Feng, Rui-Lin,Yang, Bo-Hui,Guo, Jian Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2013 Animal Bioscience Vol.26 No.3

This study investigated the geographic and pairwise distances of nine Chinese local Cashmere goat populations through the analysis of 20 microsatellite DNA markers. Fluorescence PCR was used to identify the markers, which were selected based on their significance as identified by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG). In total, 206 alleles were detected; the average allele number was 10.30; the polymorphism information content of loci ranged from 0.5213 to 0.7582; the number of effective alleles ranged from 4.0484 to 4.6178; the observed heterozygosity was from 0.5023 to 0.5602 for the practical sample; the expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.5783 to 0.6464; and Allelic richness ranged from 4.7551 to 8.0693. These results indicated that Chinese Cashmere goat populations exhibited rich genetic diversity. Further, the Wright's F-statistics of subpopulation within total (FST) was 0.1184; the genetic differentiation coefficient (GST) was 0.0940; and the average gene flow (Nm) was 2.0415. All pairwise FST values among the populations were highly significant (p<0.01 or p<0.001), suggesting that the populations studied should all be considered to be separate breeds. Finally, the clustering analysis divided the Chinese Cashmere goat populations into at least four clusters, with the Hexi and Yashan goat populations alone in one cluster. These results have provided useful, practical, and important information for the future of Chinese Cashmere goat breeding.

Liyuan Zhang,Xiaoli Geng,Haiyan Zhang,Chunlei Zhou,Aiju Zhao,Fei Wang,Yue Zhao,Xuejun Tian,Zhaorong Hu,Mingming Xin,Yingyin Yao,Zhongfu Ni;Qixin Sun,Qixin Sun,Huiru Peng 한국식물학회 2017 Journal of Plant Biology Vol.60 No.1

GA-stimulated transcript (GAST) family genes have been identified in numerous plant species. In this paper, we isolated and characterized a heat-responsive gene, TaGASR1, from heat tolerant variety TAM107. The complete ORF of TaGASR1 was cloned, which encoded a 98-kDa protein, and the sequence shared 51.52% similarity to OsGASR1. Analysis of the TaGASR1 promoter region showed that it contained a heat shock element (HSE) and several cis-elements involved in abiotic stress response and hormone signal transduction. Expression patterns of TaGASR1 revealed that it was strongly induced by stress factors, such as high temperature, drought, high salinity and oxidation, as well as the phytohormones, including MeJA, ACC and ABA, which suggested the TaGASR1 gene might participate in these stress and hormone signal transduction pathways. Transient expression of TaGASR1-GFP fusion proteins in onion epidermal cells indicated that TaGASR1 protein was localized to the cell membrane or cytosol. Further analysis showed that ectopic expression of TaGASR1 in Arabidopsis enhanced thermotolerance and reduced the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) after heat stress. Moreover, we also found that TaGASR1-overexpressing wheat improved tolerance to heat stress and oxidative stress.
