Nuclear receptors(NRs), especially the ecdysone receptor(EcR) and ultraspiracle(USP), have attracted considerable attention in the regulation of arthropod development and reproduction due to their pivotal roles in ecdysteroid signaling cascades. In the present study, 23 NRs, including one EcR and two USPs, were identified in the genome of the predatory wolf spider Pardosa pseudoannulata. RNA interference(RNAi) targeting EcR and USP-1inhibited spiderling development and resulted in nonviable eggs in the egg sacs. EcR and USP-1responded to changes in ecdysteroid levels, and interference in ecdysteroid biosynthesis led to similar phenotypes as ds EcR and ds USP-1 treatments.These findings suggest that EcR/USP-1-mediated ecdysteroid signaling regulates P. pseudoannulata development and reproduction. The P.pseudoannulata females with suppressed ecdysteroid signaling proactively consumed their non-viable egg sacs, resulting in a 7.19 d shorter first reproductive cycle than the controls. Termination of the failed reproductive cycle enabled the spiders to produce a new egg sac more rapidly. This reproductive strategy may partially rescue the reduction in population growth due to non-viable eggs and compensate for the physiological expenditure of wasted maternal care, which would be beneficial for the conservation of P.pseudoannulata populations and their natural control of insect pests.展开更多

In order to reduce the titanium layer thickness, the explosive welding of TA1 titanium foil to Q235 steel plate was carried out. The interfacial bonding performance was analyzed by micromorphology analysis and mechanical property test, and the formation process of interfacial wave and molten block in the vortex was simulated by smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH) method. The results showed that salt as pressure transfer layer used in explosive welding could play a good buffer effect on the collision between flyer and base layers. Regular waveforms were formed on the bonding interface, and the titanium foil/steel clad plate exhibited good welding quality and bonding property. The crest of the observed interfacial wave moved 200 μm from the beginning to the final formation, and it was important of jet on the formation of interfacial waveform. The interface was mainly bonded in the form of molten layer, and the grains near the interface were streamlined. Molten block containing intermetallic compounds and metal oxides appeared in the vortex of wave crest.展开更多

文摘Lycosidae females demonstrate meticulous maternal care of offspring by carrying egg sacs and juvenile spiderlings during the reproductive stage. Nuclear receptors(NRs), especially the ecdysone receptor(EcR) and ultraspiracle(USP), have attracted considerable attention in the regulation of arthropod development and reproduction due to their pivotal roles in ecdysteroid signaling cascades. In the present study, 23 NRs, including one EcR and two USPs, were identified in the genome of the predatory wolf spider Pardosa pseudoannulata. RNA interference(RNAi) targeting EcR and USP-1inhibited spiderling development and resulted in nonviable eggs in the egg sacs. EcR and USP-1responded to changes in ecdysteroid levels, and interference in ecdysteroid biosynthesis led to similar phenotypes as ds EcR and ds USP-1 treatments.These findings suggest that EcR/USP-1-mediated ecdysteroid signaling regulates P. pseudoannulata development and reproduction. The P.pseudoannulata females with suppressed ecdysteroid signaling proactively consumed their non-viable egg sacs, resulting in a 7.19 d shorter first reproductive cycle than the controls. Termination of the failed reproductive cycle enabled the spiders to produce a new egg sac more rapidly. This reproductive strategy may partially rescue the reduction in population growth due to non-viable eggs and compensate for the physiological expenditure of wasted maternal care, which would be beneficial for the conservation of P.pseudoannulata populations and their natural control of insect pests.
文摘Ti/Fe clad plate had attracted extensive attention because of its important application. In order to reduce the titanium layer thickness, the explosive welding of TA1 titanium foil to Q235 steel plate was carried out. The interfacial bonding performance was analyzed by micromorphology analysis and mechanical property test, and the formation process of interfacial wave and molten block in the vortex was simulated by smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH) method. The results showed that salt as pressure transfer layer used in explosive welding could play a good buffer effect on the collision between flyer and base layers. Regular waveforms were formed on the bonding interface, and the titanium foil/steel clad plate exhibited good welding quality and bonding property. The crest of the observed interfacial wave moved 200 μm from the beginning to the final formation, and it was important of jet on the formation of interfacial waveform. The interface was mainly bonded in the form of molten layer, and the grains near the interface were streamlined. Molten block containing intermetallic compounds and metal oxides appeared in the vortex of wave crest.

文摘The low-energy mutual neutralization(MN)reactions Na^(+)+H^(-)→Na(nl)+H have been studied by employing the full quantum-mechanical molecular-orbital close-coupling(QMOCC)method over a wide energy range of 10^(-3)-10^(3) e V/u.Total and state-selective cross sections have been investigated and compared with the available theoretical and experimental data,and the state-selective rate coefficients for the temperature range of 100-10000 K have been obtained.In the present work,all the necessary highly excited states are included,and the influences of rotational couplings and 10 active electrons are considered.It is found that in the energy below 10 e V/u,the Na(4s)state is the most dominant exit state with a contribution of approximately 78%to the branch fraction,which is in best agreement with the experimental data.For energies above 10 e V/u,the MN total cross section is larger than those obtained in other theoretical calculations and shows a slow decreasing trend because the main exit states change,when the energy is above 100 e V/u,the dominant exit state becomes the Na(3p)state,while the Na(4s)state becomes the third most important exit state.The datasets presented in this paper,including the potential energy curve,the radial and rotational couplings,the total and state-selective cross sections,are openly available at https://doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.j00113.00112.

文摘Spectral line widths produced by collisions between charged particles and emitters are of special interest for precise plasma spectroscopy.The highly charged Ar XV ion is demonstrated to have strong intrashell electron interactions,which manifest as an atomic system with many resonance structures,due to the quasi-degeneracy of orbital energies.In this paper we use the relativistic R-matrix method to investigate the electron-impact broadening of highly charged Ar XV ion spectral lines under the impact approximation.It is found that the results considering resonance structures are significantly different from those of the distorted wave approach.Furthermore,we propose a new empirical formula with a correction term to take into account the effect of resonances for electron-impact widths over a relatively wide range of plasma conditions.The corresponding fitting parameters of the new empirical formula for all 47 calculated transitions are also given with an estimated accuracy within 1%,which should be convenient for practical applications.The dataset that supported the findings of this study is available in Science Data Bank,with the link https://doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.j00113.00101.

文摘Background Methamphetamine(METH)addiction causes a huge burden on society.The prefrontal cortex(PFC),associated with emotion and cognitive behaviours,is also involved in addiction neurocircuitry.Although bulk RNA sequencing has shown METH-induced gene alterations in the mouse PFC,the impact on different cell types remains unknown.Aims To clarify the effects of METH treatment on different cell types of the PFC and the potential pathways involved in METH-related disorders.Methods We performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing(snRNA-seq)to examine the transcriptomes of 20465 nuclei isolated from the PFC of chronic METH-treated and control mice.Main cell types and differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were identified and confirmed by RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH).Results Six main cell types were identified depending on the single-cell nucleus sequencing;of particular interest were the mature oligodendrocytes in the PFC.The DEGs of mature oligodendrocytes were enriched in the myelin sheath,adenosine triphosphate(ATP)metabolic process,mitochondrial function and components,and so on.The messenger RNA levels of Aldoc and Atp5l(FISH)and the protein level of the mitochondrial membrane pore subunit TOM40(immunofluorescence)decreased in the mature oligodendrocytes.Fast blue staining and transmission electron microscopy image indicated myelin damage,and the myelin thickness decreased in METH brains.Conclusions snRNA-seq reveals altered transcriptomes of different cell types in mouse PFC induced by chronic METH treatment,underscoring potential relationships with psychiatric disorders.

文摘The relationship among microstructure,mechanical properties and texture of TA32 titanium alloy sheets during hot tensile deformation at 800℃was investigated.In the test,the original sheet exhibited relatively low flow stress and sound plasticity,and increasing the heat treatment temperature resulted in an increased ultimate tensile strength(UTS)and a decreased elongation(EL).The deformation mechanism of TA32 alloy was dominated by high angle grain boundaries sliding and coordinated by dislocation motion.The coarsening of grains and the annihilation of dislocations in heat-treated specimens weakened the deformation ability of material,which led to the increase in flow stress.Based on the high-temperature creep equation,the quantitative relationship between microstructure and flow stress was established.The grain size exponent andαphase strength constant of TA32 alloy were calculated to be 1.57 and 549.58 MPa,respectively.The flow stress was accurately predicted by combining with the corresponding phase volume fraction and grain size.Besides,the deformation behavior of TA32 alloy was also dependent on the orientation of predominantαphase,and the main slip mode was the activation of prismaticslip system.The decrease of near prism-oriented texture in heat-treated specimens resulted in the enhancement of strength of the material.
