基于超图正则化的域适应偏最小二乘多工况软测量模型

针对流程工业中,因多工况导致数据分布变化引起传统软测量模型预测性能恶化问题,本文提出一种基于超图正则化的域适应多工况软测量回归模型框架.首先,采用非线性迭代偏最小二乘回归算法为基模型,在潜变量空间利用历史工况数据重构当前工况数据,以增强工况间的相关性,有效减小数据分布差异;同时,对重构系数施加低秩稀疏约束,保留了数据的局部和全局子空间结构;其次,通过超图拉普拉斯正则项对域适应潜变量求解过程进行约束,避免在寻找潜变量过程中破坏数据结构.最后,利用交替方向乘子法优化求解模型参数.在多个数据集上的实验表明,本文方法在多工况环境下可有效提高软测量模型的预测精度和泛化性能.     

Genome-Wide Identification of TaSAUR Gene Family Members in Hexaploid Wheat and Functional Characterization of TaSAUR66-5B in Improving Nitrogen Use Efficiency

Excessive input of nitrogen fertilizer not only causes a great waste of resources but brings about a series of ecological and environmental problems. Although Small Auxin Up-regulated RNAs (SAURs) participate in diverse biological processes, the function of SAURs in the nitrogen starvation response has not been well-studied. Here, we identified 308 TaSAURs in wheat and divided them into 10 subfamilies. The promoter regions of most TaSAURs contain hormone responsive elements, and their expression levels change under the treatment of different hormones, such as IAA, MeJA, and ABA. Interestingly, overexpression of one of the TaSAUR family members, a nitrogen starvation responsive gene, TaSAUR66-5B, can promote the growth of Arabidopsis and wheat roots. In addition, overexpression of TaSAUR66-5B in Arabidopsis up-regulates the expression levels of auxin biosynthesis related genes, suggesting that overexpression TaSAUR66-5B may promote root growth by increasing the biosynthesis of auxin. Furthermore, overexpression of TaSAUR66-5B in wheat can increase the biomass and grain yields of transgenic plants, as well as the nitrogen concentration and accumulation of both shoots and grains, especially under low nitrogen conditions. This study provides important genomic information of the TaSAUR gene family and lays a foundation for elucidating the functions of TaSAURs in improving nitrogen utilization efficiency in wheat.     

Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) as a Stress Molecule in Renal Inflammation

Renal inflammation is an initial pathological process during progressive renal injury regardless of the initial cause. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a truly proinflammatory stress mediator that is highly expressed in a variety of both inflammatory cells and intrinsic kidney cells. MIF is released from the diseased kidney immediately upon stimulation to trigger renal inflammation by activating macrophages and T cells, and promoting the production of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and stress molecules via signaling pathways involving the CD74/CD44 and chemokine receptors CXCR2, CXCR4, and CXCR7 signaling. In addition, MIF can function as a stress molecule to counter-regulate the immunosuppressive effect of glucocorticoid in renal inflammation. Given the critical position of MIF in the upstream inflammatory cascade, this review focuses on the regulatory role and molecular mechanisms of MIF in kidney diseases. The therapeutic potential of targeting MIF signaling to treat kidney diseases is also discussed.

光影诗篇——墨西哥建筑艺术中的地域智慧与启迪

强烈的光照作为墨西哥一个十分突出的地域特征,对墨西哥的气候、文化乃至民众的生活习惯都产生了巨大的影响。墨西哥建筑师敏锐地捕捉到这一特征,融入自己的理解和想象,在光影与空间的交织、变化中呈现出丰富的情感色彩,使得建筑与人之间建立起直触心灵的对话。随着时代的变迁和文化的发展,建筑所要实现的功能、表达的情感在不断改变,而建筑师们对于光影的处理手段也趋于多元化,从而产生了越来越多极具特色的建筑形式。通过对墨西哥不同历史时期建筑的分析,来研究墨西哥建筑师运用光影塑造不同情感空间的多种手法和传承关系。     

Study on conductivity and redox stability of iron orthovanadate

FeVO₄ was synthesised by conventional solid state technique. Impedance measurements using a silver electrode were unsuccessful due to a solid state reaction between FeVO₄ and Ag, forming α-AgVO₃ and α-Fe₂O₃ at the interface. Impedance measurements, with a platinum electrode, reaffirmed that FeVO₄ exhibits semiconductor behaviour in air. In a reducing atmosphere, 5% H₂/Ar, high electronic conductivity, from 1 S cm⁻¹ at 300 °C to 2 S cm⁻¹ at 700 °C, was observed with an activation energy of 0.13(1) eV. X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry data determined that the change in electronic conductivity was due to the degradation of the material into FeV₂O₄ and α-Fe₂O₃. It is believed that the conduction was due to electron hopping between vanadium d-orbitals. Neither FeVO₄ nor FeV₂O₄ are deemed suitable as anode materials for solid oxide fuel cells, due to redox instability.
