Protein interaction networks: centrality,modularity, dynamics,and applications

In the post-genomic era, proteomics has achieved significant theoretical and practical advances with the development of high-throughput technologies. Especially the rapid accumulation of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) provides a foundation for constructing protein interaction networks (PINs), which can furnish a new perspective for understanding cellular organizations, processes, and functions at network level. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey on three main characteristics of PINs: centrality, modularity, and dynamics. 1) Different centrality measures, which are used to calculate the importance of proteins, are summarized based on the structural characteristics of PINs or on the basis of its integrated biological information; 2) Different modularity definitions and various clustering algorithms for predicting protein complexes or identifying functional modules are introduced; 3) The dynamics of proteins, PPIs and sub-networks are discussed, respectively. Finally, the main applications of PINs in the complex diseases are reviewed, and the challenges and future research directions are also discussed.     

高分2号图像业务化大气校正查找表的设计与实现

为实现高分2号图像(GF2)业务化大气校正,利用矢量6S模型(6SV)将辐射传输散射与吸收进行分离计算,其中散射部分采用涵盖各种大气模式、气溶胶类型、成像几何等条件下的大气校正查找表(look-up tables,LUTs)表示,大气吸收部分采用6SV拟合计算的6种大气模式下大气透过率的经验公式表示,这种处理有效简化了查找表大小.在内存4 GB、主频3.10 GHz条件下,通过比较基于本查找表方法和基于FLAASH大气校正软件对北京地区一景GF2数据处理.结果表明:以6SV模型直接大气校正法结果作为真值,两者的绝对误差分别为0.8%和2.6%,处理时间分别为77 s和240 s,该大气校正查找表在处理精度和效率更加适合业务化大气校正.     

A brief review on α-zirconium phosphate intercalation compounds and nano-composites

The layer structured zirconium phosphate(Zr P) can be intercalated with atoms, molecules, small organic groups and even polymers. The structures and properties of the Zr P intercalation compounds can be deliberately tuned, leading to promising potential applications in many fields. This article provides a brief review on the experimental results of the Zr P intercalation compounds, with the focus on the polymer/a-zirconium phosphate (α-Zr P) nano-composites. The computer simulations of the Zr P intercalation compounds at the atomic level play a significant role in designing and understanding the properties of Zr P, and in the promotion of the applications of compounds.     

层间接触状态和横向力大小对车辙贡献率的影响

车辙贡献率是反映沥青路面各结构层车辙病害程度的一个主要参数,可用于指导沥青路面的设计和施工.利用三维有限元计算软件建立三维有限元模型用于理论分析,将有限元计算结果与理论解进行对比,验证了该三维有限元模型的可靠性.采用实测的轮胎接地压力,考虑不同层间接触状态和横向力大小,结合有限元计算的数据,分析了沥青路面结构层的车辙贡献率.结果表明:在层间完全连续状态下,横向力大小的选取不能简单地选取最大垂直轮胎接地压力的一定比例,而是要根据所研究的具体情况具体分析.在对沥青路面车辙贡献率的研究中,可以忽略层间接触状态,即假定层间完全连续.     

Influence of Cryomilling on the Morphology and Composition of the Oxide Scales Formed on HVOF CoNiCrAlY Coatings

Commercially available, gas-atomized CoNiCrAlY powder was cryomilled to produce powder with nanocrystalline grains. The cryomilled powder and conventional gas-atomized powder were thermally sprayed using the HVOF process to prepare two coatings with fine-grain (～15 nm) and coarse-grain (～1 μm) microstructure, respectively. The two coatings were isothermally oxidized in air at 1000° C for up to 330 hr. The morphology and composition of the oxide scales formed on the two coatings were compared with each other. The results indicate that, while a fine-grain microstructure can promote the formation of a pure alumina layer on the coating by increasing the Al diffusion rate toward the surface, it can also accelerate the Al depletion by increasing the Al diffusion rate toward the substrate, which results in the formation of non-alumina oxides after long-term oxidation. The mechanisms governing the oxide formation are discussed in terms of atomic diffusion and thermodynamic stability.     

Microstructural Investigation of Protective and Non-Protective Oxides on 11% Chromium Steel

FIB, SEM and STEM/EDX were used to investigate X20 stainless-steel samples exposed to dry O₂, or O₂ containing 40% H₂O, with a flow velocity of 0.5 cm/s or 5 cm/s, for 168 hr or 336 hr at 600°C. Thin protective Cr-rich (Cr,Fe)₂O₃ was maintained on the samples exposed to dry O₂, even after 336 hr, and on the sample exposed to O₂/H₂O mixture with the low-flow velocity (0.5 cm/s) for 168 hr. The oxide scale formed in the latter environment contained less Cr, due to Cr loss through CrO₂(OH)₂ evaporation. Breakaway oxidation occurred on the samples exposed in high-gas-flow velocity for shorter time (168 hr) or in low-gas-flow velocity (0.5 cm/s) for longer time (336 hr). The breakaway scales featured a two-layered structure: an outward-growing oxide “island” consisting of almost pure hematite (α-Fe₂O₃), and an inward-growing oxide “crater” consisting of (Cr,Fe)₃O₄. The transition from a thin protective (Cr,Fe)₂O₃ scale to a non-protective thick scale on this martensitic/ferritic steel originated locally and was followed by rapid oxide growth, resulting in a thick scale that covered the whole sample surface.     

Ni-Cr-Fe-Si-B合金涂层及铝青铜基体熔合区组织的研究

采用钨极氩弧焊方法在铝青铜基体上施焊了Ni—Cr-Fe-Si—B合金涂层，并运用金相显微镜、扫描电子显微镜及能谱分析了喷涂层、熔合区及热影响区的组织形貌和成分分布。结果表明，喷焊时，在涂层与基体界面两侧各组元均发生了明显的扩散，Cu、Ni组元间可相互取代，基体融合区组织的基本组成仍为α (α γ2)，但同时也形成了Cu2FeAl7、NiAl3等新相，且融合区组织细小，涂层与基体间为冶金态结合。
