Adhesion Control Strategy Based on the Wheel-Rail Adhesion State Observation for High-Speed Trains
2018
Electronics
In this paper, an adhesion control strategy based on the wheel-rail adhesion state observation is proposed for high-speed trains. First, the high-speed train single axle dynamics model is established. Then, a modified adhesion control method is proposed. The scheme observes the tangential force coefficient between wheel and rail through full dimension observer and forecasts the slope of the adhesion-slip curve by the recursive least squares method with forgetting factor. Meanwhile, a

... analysis of the method and the control parameters tuning is conducted. Afterwards, the experimental study of the proposed adhesion control is carried out based on a 5.5 kW induction motor drag platform using dSPACE simulation technology. The experimental results confirm the feasibility of the adhesion control method proposed in this paper. Using the proposed adhesion control method can achieve high wheel-rail adhesion performance under variable complex road conditions.
"Factual" or "Emotional": Stylized Image Captioning with Adaptive Learning and Attention

Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Generating stylized captions for an image is an emerging topic in image captioning. Given an image as input, it requires the system to generate a caption that has a specific style (e.g., humorous, romantic, positive, and negative) while describing the image content semantically accurately. In this paper, we propose a novel stylized image captioning model that effectively takes both requirements into consideration. To this end, we first devise a new variant of LSTM, named style-factual LSTM, as

... he building block of our model. It uses two groups of matrices to capture the factual and stylized knowledge, respectively, and automatically learns the word-level weights of the two groups based on previous context. In addition, when we train the model to capture stylized elements, we propose an adaptive learning approach based on a reference factual model, it provides factual knowledge to the model as the model learns from stylized caption labels, and can adaptively compute how much information to supply at each time step. We evaluate our model on two stylized image captioning datasets, which contain humorous/romantic captions and positive/negative captions, respectively. Experiments shows that our proposed model outperforms the state-ofthe-art approaches, without using extra ground truth supervision.

The pseudogene PRELID1P6 promotes glioma progression via the hnHNPH1-Akt/mTOR axis
2021
Oncogene
AbstractResearch over the past decade has suggested important roles for pseudogenes in glioma. This study aimed to show that pseudogene PRELI domain-containing 1 pseudogene 6 (PRELID1P6) promotes glioma progression. Aberrant expression of genes was screened using The Cancer Genome Atlas database. We found that mRNA level of PRELID1P6 was highly upregulated in glioma and was associated with a shorter survival time. Functional studies showed that the knockdown of PRELID1P6 decreased cell

... tion, sphere formation, and clone formation ability and blocked the cell cycle transition at G0/G1, while overexpression of PRELID1P6 had the opposite effects. Mechanistically, knockdown of PRELID1P6 changed the cellular localization of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H1 (hnRNPH1) from nucleus to cytoplasm, which promoted ubiquitin-mediated degradation of hnRNPH1. RNA-sequence and gene set enrichment analysis suggested that knockdown of PRELID1P6 regulates the apoptosis signaling pathway. Western blotting showed that PRELID1P6 increased TRF2 expression by hnRNPH1-mediated alternative splicing effect and activated the Akt/mTOR pathway. Furthermore, Akt inhibitor MK2206 treatment reversed the oncogenic function of PRELID1P6. PRELID1P6 was also found to be negatively regulated by miR-1825. Our result showed that PRELID1P6 promotes glioma progression through the hnHNPH1-Akt/mTOR pathway. These findings shed new light on the important role of PRELID1P6 as a novel oncogene for glioma.

In this work, we investigate Cu solution in θ-Al13Fe4 and related Al-rich ω-Al7Cu2Fe and Al2Cu phases in the Al-Cu-Fe system using the first-principles density functional theory (DFT) with on-site Coulomb interaction correction. The results show preference of Cu at Al7, forming a ternary θ-Al76Cu2Fe24 at ambient conditions, and both Al7 and Al9 sites (in Grin's note), forming θ-(Al76−xCu2+x)Fe24 at a high temperature.

Characterization and Identification of a Ripening-Related Gene AaPG18 in Actinidia arguta
2022
International Journal of Molecular Sciences
Actinidia arguta (A. arguta) is a kind of climacteric fruit that quickly softens and limits fruit shelf-life and commercial value. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop kiwifruit genotypes with an extended shelf-life of fruit. However, the ripening and softening mechanisms remain unclear in A. arguta. Here, we demonstrated that a key polygalacturonase (PG)-encoding gene AaPG18 was involved in A. arguta ripening through the degradation of the cell wall. Fruits were harvested at three

... developmental stages (S1, S2, and S3) for high-throughput transcriptome sequencing, based on which two candidate transcripts c109562_g1 and c111961_g1 were screened. The genome-wide identification of the PG gene family assigned c109562_g1 and c111961_g1 to correspond to AaPG4 and AaPG18, respectively. The expression profiles of candidate genes at six preharvest stages of fruit showed significantly higher expression levels of AaPG18 than AaPG4, indicating AaPG18 might be a key gene during fruit ripening processes. The subcellular localization displayed AaPG18 was located at the cytoplasmic membrane. The transient overexpression of AaPG18 in strawberry and the following morphological observation suggested AaPG18 played a key role in maintaining the stability of cell morphology. The homologous transient transformation in A. arguta "RB-4" proved the crucial function of AaPG18 in fruit ripening processes by causing the rapid redness of the fruit, which was an indicator of fruit maturity. All in all, our results identified AaPG18 as a key candidate gene involved in cell wall degeneration, which provides a basis for the subsequent exploration of the molecular mechanisms underlying the ripening and softening of A. arguta fruit.
Influence of Oilseed Rape Seed Treatment with Imidacloprid on Survival, Feeding Behavior, and Detoxifying Enzymes of Mustard Aphid, Lipaphis erysimi
2019
Insects
Imidacloprid application, as a seed coating agent on oilseed rape, is recommended to control mustard aphid, Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach) (Hemiptera: Aphididae). In this study, responses of L. erysimi were investigated, including survival, feeding behavior, and detoxifying enzymes, on the oilseed rape seedlings grown from seeds coated with imidacloprid at rates of 6, 12, or 18 g active ingredient (a.i.)/kg seed. The results showed that the aphids' survival rate, together with that of the

... of the survivors, on the seed-treated seedlings significantly decreased. This indicates that the aphid population in fields can be suppressed effectively. The electrical penetration graph (EPG) technique was used to record aphid feeding behaviors on two-, four-, and six-leaf stages of oilseed rape seedlings that had been seed-coated with imidacloprid, and individual responses were revealed during the aphid feeding behavior. On the plants at the two-leaf stage, aphid feeding behaviors were influenced, showing decreased frequency of stylet penetration into the leaf (probe) or into the mesophyll cells (potential drops, pds for short), and shortened duration of stylet event in the leaf (probe) or in the phloem. On the plants at the four- and six-leaf stages, these impacts of imidacloprid were weakened; however, the saliva secretion duration in phloem was shortened to less than 5 min in all imidacloprid treatments. The activity of mixed-function oxidase in aphids maintained on the treated seedlings with imidacloprid was elevated. In conclusion, imidacloprid could be used as a seed coating agent for aphid control, but chemical resistance in aphids should not be ignored.

Elevated Interleukin-6 Levels within 72 Hours Post Admission Are Associated with Disease Progression in Nonseptic Critically Ill Children
2020
BioMed Research International
It has been established that the innate and adaptive immune suppression was heterogeneous in septic and nonseptic critically ill patients, while the value of immune function in pediatric patients with nonseptic critical illness is limited. We conducted a single-center retrospective study to explore this issue. A total of 65 children with nonseptic illnesses were studied for lymphocyte subpopulations, immunoglobulin concentrations, complement concentrations, and cytokines in peripheral blood in

... he next 72 hours after admission to our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). When compared to clinically recovered patients, patients with disease progression had a numerically lower but not significantly different median pediatric critical illness score and longer PICU median stays. The analysis of serum immunoglobulin (IgG, IgM, and IgA), serum complement (C3, C4) concentrations, and lymphocyte subpopulations showed no significantly difference between patients with and without relieved clinical symptoms by day 4. For the cytokine analysis, the level of IL-6 was significantly higher in patients with disease progression than that in patients who clinically recovered (p=0.046). In the univariate Cox regression analysis, plasma IL-6 levels were associated with outcome. Multivariate analysis evidenced that the level of plasma IL-6 was one of the factors determining the length of hospital stays. In conclusions, our results demonstrate that increased IL-6 levels in the initial 72 hours post admission are associated with prolonged stays and disease progression in nonseptic critically ill children in the PICU.
