Digestion and protein metabolism of Trogoderma granarium (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) fed on different barley varieties

The Khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium Everts, is one of the most important pests of grains which rapidly infests durable stored products in hot and dry conditions. In the current study, effects of omit ten varieties of barley (Abidar, Bahman, Line20, Line22, Line30, Lisivi, Lokht11, Makuyi, Sahand and Sahraa) were determined on digestive enzymes and protein metabolsim of T. granarium larvae under laboratory conditions as 33 ± 1 °C, 65 ± 5% RH and photoperiod of 14:10 (L: D) h. The highest and the lowest activities of α-amylase were observed in T. granarium larvae fed on Line30 and Lisivi varieties, respectively but the glucosidases showed the highest activities followed by feeding on Lokht 11. Also, the latter variety caused the highest lipase activity in the larvae while Abidar, Line20, Lisuei and Sahand imposed the lowest lipase activity. The highest activities of serine proteases including trypsin, chymotrypsin and elastase were detected in the larvae fed on Line 30 but the two exopeptidases, amino- and carboxypeptidases, showed the highest activities when the larvae fed on Lisuei. All the three aminotransferses had the highest activities in the larvae fed on Lokht 11 as the related individuals contained the maximum amount of protein compared to other ones. Results of the current study highlighted Line30 as the most suitable variety to be digested by serine proteases and α-amylase but Lokht11 is appropriately digested by glucosidases and lipase which emboss their susceptibilities to T. granarium. Our findings on digestion and protein metabolism imply on susceptibility of varieties Line30 and Lokht11 to T. granarium larvae.     

Taurine ameliorates alcoholic steatohepatitis via enhancing self-antioxidant capacity and alcohol metabolism

Chronic alcohol consumption or alcohol abuse is the main cause of alcoholic steatohepatitis or further cirrhosis. This study was to exam if the antioxidant capacity and alcohol metabolism in livers of chronic alcohol-fed rats were improved by supplementing taurine (Tau). Rats were randomly divided into four groups with five times per week of treatment: 1) isocaloric solution; 2) 3 g alcohol/kg BW/day; 3) 3 g alcohol/kg BW/day + 1 g taurine (Tau)/kg BW/day; and 4) 3 g alcohol/kg BW/day + 2 g Tau/kg BW/day. A 6-week alcohol consumption resulted in lower (p < 0.05) body weight gain and self-antioxidant capacities, as well as increased (p < 0.05) liver size, serum/hepatic lipids, and AST and ALT values. However, alcohol-fed rats co-treated with Tau have decreased (p < 0.05) liver lipid levels via increasing fecal lipid output and cholesterol metabolism. Besides, co-treatment of Tau also enhanced (p < 0.05) self-antioxidant capacities and alcohol metabolism in livers via enhancing GSH contents, CAT, GSH-Px, ADH, and ALDH activities, but decreasing MDA contents. In a histological examination of rat liver, microvesicular steatosis and necrotic cells were observed in alcohol-fed rats without Tau while largely suppressed microvesicular steatosis and no necrotic cells were observed in alcohol-fed rat supplemented with Tau. Therefore, Tau could be an effective hepatoprotective agent against alcohol-induced damage via enhancing self-antioxidant capacity and alcohol metabolism.

基于抽象语法树分析的版本控制分支合并算法

在软件开发中,并行开发已经成为了现实中标准的开发模式,因此软件开发的版本控制在开发过程中得到了非常广泛的应用.虽然大多数的版本控制工具都能完成分支合并以及将不同版本的更改合并起来,但这些工具往往是以一行一行的代码为单位进行文本比较的合并,在遇到某行被同时修改时,则不能给出满意的合并结果.给出了一种新的合并算法,用来解决文本比较分支合并中的问题,它在传统工具的文本比较出现冲突的代码行,对该代码块建立抽象语法树,根据抽象语法树的分析比较,完成不同分支版本代码的自动合并,减少分支合并中的代码冲突及手动合并的工作量,提高开发效率.     

p=5的AST随机数产生法

The standard method to construct a finite field requires a primitive irreducible polynomial of a given degree. Therefore, it is difficult to apply for the construction of huge finite fields. To avoid this problem, we propose a new method to construct huge finite fields with the characteristic p = 5 by using an Artin-Schreier tower. Utilizing the recursive basis of the Artin-Schreier tower, we define a multiplication algorithm. The algorithm can explicitly calculate the multiplication of two elements on the top finite field of this tower, without any primitive element. We also define a linear recurrence equation as an application, which produces a sequence of numbers, and call the new pseudorandom number generator Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) for p= 5. The experimental results show that our new pseudorandom number generator can produce a sequence of numbers with a long period.     

基于混合图表示的软件变更预测方法

软件变更预测旨在识别出具有变更倾向的模块,可以帮助软件管理者和开发人员有效地分配资源,降低维护开销.从代码中提取有效的特征在构建准确的预测模型中起着重要作用.近年来,研究人员从利用传统的手工特征进行预测转向具有强大表示能力的语义特征,他们从抽象语法树(abstract syntax tree, AST)的节点序列中提取语义特征构建模型.但已有研究忽略了AST的结构信息以及代码中丰富的语义信息,如何提取代码的语义特征仍然是一个具有挑战性的问题.为此,提出一种基于混合图表示的变更预测方法.该模型首先结合AST、控制流图(control flow graph, CFG)、数据流图(data flow graph, DFG)等结构信息构建代码的程序图表示,接着利用图神经网络学习出程序图的语义特征,根据该特征预测变更倾向性.所提模型能够融合各种语义信息以更好地表征代码.在多组变更数据集上开展与最新变更预测方法的对比实验,验证了所提方法的有效性.
