Squaraine has a high tendency to aggregate in aqueous solution, and such self-aggregation usually results in a dramatic absorption spectral broadening with fluorescence emission quenching. The combination of the DTC side arm of the probe with Hg2+ induces steric hindrance, leading to the deaggregation of the dye complex, companying with a fluorescence emission restoration. In EtOH-H2O (20:80, v/v) solution, this "turn on" fluorescent probe has high selectivity and sensitivity toward Hg2+ over other metal ions, and the limit of detection for Hg2+ was estimated as 2.19 × 10^-8 mol/L by 3σ/k.展开更多

摘要Barren paddy fields characterized by poor soil structure,shallow tillage layers and low organic carbon content are a common limitation to rice production in subtropical China.As a novel approach to soil improvement,granulated organic amendments offer significant potential.Previous studies have shown that granulated straw can improve soil physicochemical properties and rapidly increase the soil organic carbon(SOC)content.However,their effects on barren paddies remain underexplored.This study evaluated four soil amendment strategies:no organic amendments(CK),10 t ha–1of composted manure(M10),20 t ha–1of granulated organic amendment(G20),and 40 t ha–1of granulated organic amendment(G40).The objective was to assess the effects of these amendments on soil structure,the contents of aggregate-associated carbon(AAC),particulate organic carbon(POC)and mineral-associated organic carbon(MAOC),and the chemical stability of MAOC among various size aggregates in both topsoil(0–20 cm)and subsoil(20–40 cm).The results demonstrated that organic amendment inputs significantly increased the macroaggregate(>250μm)proportion and improved soil structural stability.These amendments also elevated the carbon concentration within aggregates of various sizes and facilitated the redistribution of organic carbon from microaggregates(53–250μm)and silt+clay fractions(<53μm)to macroaggregates.The proportion of POC to AAC declined with decreasing aggregate size,whereas the proportion of MAOC increased.In the topsoil,macroaggregate formation enhanced the protection of POC,supported the accumulation of non-hydrolyzable carbon within MAOC,and accelerated the formation of intra-microaggregates.In the subsoil,mineral-bound organic carbon remained the dominant form of carbon sequestration.In conclusion,the application of 40 t ha–1of granulated organic amendment proved to be a successful tactic for enhancing soil physicochemical structure,increasing SOC content,and improving carbon stability.This approach offers a promising and innovative solution for the sustainable management and restoration of barren paddy fields.

摘要Soil physical fractions(including aggregates and physical subfractions)and organic nitrogen(N)forms have been extensively studied,but the influence of soil N forms in physical fractions on soil organic N accumulation remains unclear.In this study,an arable soil,belonging to an Aquic Inceptisol,was collected from a 5-year continuous straw management experiment to investigate the characteristics of organic N accumulation and its associations with soil aggregates and physical subfractions under contrasting management practices(straw incorporation vs.straw removal).We analyzed soil aggregate distribution,physical subfractions within macro-and microaggregates,and organic N fractions,including hydrolyzable ammonium N(HAN),amino sugar N(ASN),amino acid N(AAN),hydrolyzable unidentified N(HUN),and non-hydrolyzable N(NHN).The concentrations of soil total N and potentially mineralizable N were measured to assess soil N accumulation and availability,respectively.Compared with those under straw removal,the distributions of organic N fractions in bulk soil under straw incorporation were significantly increased:HAN by 50.9%,ASN by 12.6%,AAN by 10.2%,HUN by 57.4%,and NHN by 14.2%.Straw incorporation significantly increased the concentrations of total N and potentially mineralizable N.Path analysis suggested that different organic N fractions contributed variably to soil N accumulation and availability;NHN and HUN contributed the most to soil N accumulation,while HAN and HUN were the primary contributors to soil N availability.From the perspective of soil aggregation,straw incorporation increased the mass of macroaggregates by 11.2%,and macroaggregates exhibited higher accumulation efficiency and greater contributions to organic N fractions compared with microaggregates and the silt+clay fraction.Furthermore,the increase in each organic N fraction,particularly HAN,HUN,and NHN in fine intra-aggregate particulate organic matter,primarily accounted for the enhanced macroaggregate-associated organic N.The findings of this study highlight the positive effects of macroaggregation on N accumulation and availability in the tested Aquic Inceptisol following continuous straw incorporation.
摘要Three-dimensional(3D)point cloud semantic segmentation is a core task in indoor scene understanding,providing detailed semantic information about spatial structures and object categories in indoor environments.Although methods based on deep learning have made steady progress in recent years,accurately segmenting complex indoor scenes remains challenging due to the unordered nature of point clouds and variations across large scales.Most existing networks have limited capability for multi-scale feature aggregation and struggle to balance local geometric details with global semantic context.These issues are further exacerbated by hierarchical downsampling,which often leads to the loss of fine-grained structural information.Moreover,feature interaction restricted to local neighborhoods may limit the capture of non-local semantic dependencies in complex indoor scenes.To address these limitations,we propose PointNMSA(PointNeXt with Non-local Multi-Scale Aggregation),an improved semantic segmentation network built upon the PointNeXt backbone.A Multi-Scale Feature Enhancement(MSFE)module is introduced in the decoding stage to fuse features from different encoding levels,and further refines the fused features to produce more stable multi-scale representations,which preserves geometric details across scales.In addition,a Convolution-Attention Mixing(CA-Mix)module is designed to jointly integrate local spatial structures and non-local contextual dependencies via dual-stream aggregation and multi-dimensional attention fusion,thereby enabling more discriminative feature representations.Experiments on the Stanford Large-Scale 3D Indoor Spaces(S3DIS)benchmark demonstrate the effectiveness of PointNMSA.On the Area 5 test split,PointNMSA achieves a mean intersection over union(mIoU)of 65.10%,outperforming the PointNeXt baseline by 1.59%,while introducing only a modest increase in computational cost(latency from 42.24 to 45.18 ms and parameters from 3.16 to 8.67M).Despite the noticeable growth in parameter count,the increase in inference latency remains relatively limited,indicating a favorable trade-off between segmentation accuracy and computational efficiency.Additional cross-dataset experiments on ScanNet further verify that PointNMSA maintains stable gains under different indoor scene distributions.Such performance gains suggest that PointNMSA provides a more robust and generalizable solution for semantic segmentation in large-scale indoor environments with complex structural layouts.

摘要Microplastics(MPs)and nanoplastics(NPs)can alter the behavior of co-existing pollutants in aquatic environments through their interactions.However,limited information was available on how the interactions between photoaged MPs/NPs and nanoparticles affect the extracellular aggregation and intracellular accumulation of nanoparticles and their associated ecological risk.Here,we investigated the effects of interactions between photoaged polystyrene MPs and NPs(aged PS MPs/NPs)and zinc oxide nanoparticles(nano-ZnO)on the green alga Chlorella vulgaris.Results proved that the adsorption of nano-ZnO on aged PS MPs/NPs,particularly aged PS NPs,via electrostatic force and hydrogen bonds was enhanced compared to that on pristine PS MPs/NPs.Molecular dynamic simulations confirmed stronger electrostatic force and van der Waals force between nano-ZnO and aged PS MPs/NPs.Furthermore,the binding affinity dissociation constant of nano-ZnO to the algal cells(32.4 and 45.0μmol/L)in the presence of aged PS MPs/NPs was significantly higher than that of pristine PS MPs/NPs(24.0 and 7.0μmol/L).The enhanced extracellular aggregation of nano-ZnO by aged PS MPs/NPs inhibited the Zn intracellular accumulation in algal cells.Nevertheless,this inhibitory effect was relatively weak for PS NPs due to their internalization carrying nano-ZnO into the algal cells.Despite the reduction of Zn intracellular accumulation,aged PS MPs/NPs still increased the ecological risk of nano-ZnO to aquatic organisms from medium to high risk through aggregation.These findings provide deeper insights into the environmental behavior and ecological risk of aged MPs/NPs.

摘要Objective Alzheimer's disease(AD)is a progressive neurodegenerative disease associated with metabolic dysregulation.This study aimed to investigate the role of homogentisic acid(HGA),a tyrosine metabolite,in AD pathogenesis and explore its potential as a noninvasive diagnostic biomarker.Methods Human saliva samples from AD patients and controls were analyzed.In vivo experiments were conducted using APP/PS1(Aβ-driven)and P301S(tauopathy-focused)mouse models,which received exogenous HGA via gavage.Key techniques included behavioral tests(Morris water maze,novel object recognition,fear conditioning),Western blot,immu-nofluorescence,real-time PCR,and mass spectrometry to assess cognitive function,blood-brain barrier(BBB)integrity,Aβaggregation,synaptic protein expression,and HGA metabolism.In vitro experiments were performed on HT22,SY5Y cells,and primary brain microvascular endothelial cells(BMECs)to verify HGA's direct effects.Results Salivary HGA levels were higher in AD patients than in controls,correlating with BBB impairment.Exogenous HGA significantly exacerbated cognitive deficits,BBB leakage,Aβdeposition,and loss of synaptic proteins(PSD93,synaptophy-sin)in mice,with effects more pronounced in the APP/PS1 than in the P301S model.In vitro,HGA exerted dose-dependent neurotoxicity,promoted Aβaggregation,and downregulated tight junction proteins(claudin-5,occludin,ZO-1)in BMECs.Mechanistically,AD patients showed reduced expression of HGA-metabolizing enzymes(homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase,maleylacetoacetate isomerase)and downstream metabolites,indicating impaired HGA catabolism.These findings confirm HGA promotes AD progression via two mutually reinforcing pathways:(1)accelerating Aβaggregation and synaptic dys-function;(2)disrupting BBB integrity through downregulating tight junction proteins.Conclusion This study identifies salivary HGA as a potential noninvasive biomarker and highlights targeting HGA metabo-lism or BBB protection as promising strategies for early AD intervention.

摘要Accurate estimation of photovoltaic(PV)parameters is essential for optimizing solar module perfor-mance and enhancing resource efficiency in renewable energy systems.This study presents a process innovation by introducing,for the first time,the Triangulation Topology Aggregation Optimizer(TTAO)integrated with parallel computing to address PV parameter estimation challenges.The effectiveness and robustness of TTAO are rigorously evaluated using two standard benchmark datasets(KC200GT and R.T.C.France solar cells)and a real-world dataset(Poly70W solar module)under single-,double-,and triple-diode configurations.Results show that TTAO consistently achieves superior accuracy by producing the lowest RMSE values and faster convergence compared to state-of-the-art metaheuristic algorithms.In addition,the integration of parallel computing significantly enhances computational efficiency,reducing execution time by up to 85%without compromising accuracy.Validation using real-world data further demonstrates TTAO’s adaptability and practical relevance in renewable energy systems,effectively bridging the gap between theoretical modeling and real-world implementation for PV system monitoring and optimization,contributing to climate mitigation through improved solar energy performance.
摘要High-resolution remote sensing semantic segmentation is a fundamental task in Geospatial Artificial Intelligence(GeoAI).Existing CNN-based methods are effective for local and multiscale feature extraction but often lack progressive cross-scale semantic propagation,while attention-and Transformer-based methods improve global spatial modeling but generally ignore frequency-domain regularities.To address these limitations,this study proposes a Multiscale Long-Distance Feature Aggregation Network(MLFANet),a unified spatial-frequency segmentation framework for high-resolution remote sensing imagery.MLFANet introduces three key components:a Multiscale Global Dependency Extraction module for cascaded cross-scale contextual refinement,an FFT-based frequency-domain branch with learnable global filtering for capturing structural and texture regularities,and a bidirectional Spatial-Frequency Fusion module for adaptively aligning spatial details with frequency responses.Experiments on the ISPRS Potsdam and Vaihingen datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed model.MLFANet achieves AF,MIoU,and OA values of 86.03%,76.21%,and 88.70%on Potsdam,and 83.17%,71.90%,and 86.33%on Vaihingen,respectively,outperforming representative CNN-based,attention-based,and hybrid models in overall metrics.In terms of computational complexity,MLFANet requires 17.49 GFLOPs under an input size of 256×256 pixels,indicating its practical feasibility for patch-based high-resolution remote sensing segmentation.Ablation studies further verify that multiscale dependency extraction,frequency-domain modeling,and adaptive spatial-frequency fusion each contribute to the final performance.

摘要The rapid growth of the Internet of Things(IoT)has led to dense wireless sensor networks(WSNs)deployed in critical applications such as smart cities,industrial monitoring,and healthcare.However,energy constraints,unpredictable communication delays,and inefficient data aggregation remain significant challenges that limit network reliability and operational lifespan.Traditional approaches often fail to balance delay minimization with energy efficiency,especially in large-scale or dynamic networks.To address these issues,this study proposes CTSO-DRNN,a novel framework that integrates Chronological Tangent Search Optimization(CTSO)with a Deep Recurrent Neural Network(DRNN)for accurate delay prediction and optimized data aggregation.The framework constructs Link Delay-Distance(LDD)trees to guide hierarchical communication and leverages CTSO to optimize the DRNN for predicting network delays,enabling adaptive scheduling and energy-aware operation.Experimental findings from simulated WSNs comprising 100 to 250 nodes indicate that the CTSO-DRNN approach decreases the average communication delay by roughly 28%to 60%,increases link lifetime by 8%to 30%,and reduces routing distance by 14%to 25%when compared to various leading-edge techniques across diverse network densities.These improvements highlight the framework’s ability to maintain low latency,prolong network operation,and enhance overall energy efficiency.

摘要Super-resolution microscopy surpasses the diffraction limit and enables the visualization of biomolecular structures with unprecedented detail.These techniques have been widely used in many scientific areas,including cell biology,genomics,microbiology,and material science.In the field of protein aggregation,a process intimately linked to numerous neurodegenerative diseases,the high spatial resolution of super-resolution microscopy enables the direct observation of the fine structure of different species,ranging from small oligomers to mature aggregates,providing insights into molecular aggregation mechanisms and the pathology of neurodegenerative diseases,such as Parkinson’s,Alzheimer’s,and Huntington’s disease.In this review,we outline the principles of three major super-resolution microscopy techniques,including stimulated emission depletion(STED),structured illumination microscopy(SIM),and single-molecule localization microscopy(SMLM),and compare their respective strengths and limitations in studying protein aggregation.We then highlight the recent applications of these techniques in studying protein aggregation,with a focus on aggregate morphology,dynamic formation processes,and interactions with cellular components.

摘要Due to the high affinity between dithiocarbamate (DTC) and Hg2+, a fluorescent probe based on squaraine chromophore with DTC side arm for Hg2+ via coordination induced deaggregation signaling has been designed and synthesized. Squaraine has a high tendency to aggregate in aqueous solution, and such self-aggregation usually results in a dramatic absorption spectral broadening with fluorescence emission quenching. The combination of the DTC side arm of the probe with Hg2+ induces steric hindrance, leading to the deaggregation of the dye complex, companying with a fluorescence emission restoration. In EtOH-H2O (20:80, v/v) solution, this "turn on" fluorescent probe has high selectivity and sensitivity toward Hg2+ over other metal ions, and the limit of detection for Hg2+ was estimated as 2.19 × 10^-8 mol/L by 3σ/k.
摘要Asphaltenes generally exist in the form of molecular aggregates in crude oil or in petroleum residues,and asphaltene aggregates can usually cause serious problems to oil exploitation,transportation,and processing.Achieving deaggregation and separation of asphaltene aggregates is a premise and basis for molecular characterization and processing of heavy oils.Aiming at the intermolecular interactions in asphaltene molecular aggregates,it has proposed and summarized that aspahltene aggregates can be subject to deaggregation by means of five approaches,including solvent diluting,removing active sites,moderate heating,ultrasonication and on-line molecular collision.Moreover,asphaltenes can be further separated to narrow fractions for molecular-level research based on polarity difference,molecular size difference,acid-base properties,and reactivity difference.

摘要To overcome the limitations of traditional force aggregation methods,this paper proposes a novel clustering model integrating the self-adaptive tent chaos search ant lion optimizer(SATC-ALO)and the self-organizing map(SOM)network.The model introduces a hybrid distance calculation method to measure inter-target distances and enhances the ant lion optimization algorithm through tent chaos sequences,adaptive tent chaos search,tournament selection,and logistic chaos sequences.Aggregation accuracy is evaluated using minimum quantization error and confidence value for the SOM neural network.The model is resolved using SATC-ALO and SOM independently,with experiments demonstrating that SOM achieves fast and accurate grouping,while SATC-ALO offers higher precision but requires longer computational runtime,making it more suitable for hybrid approaches.Both methods are validated as practical solutions for force aggregation tasks.

摘要In global navigation satellite system denial environment,cross-view geo-localization based on image retrieval presents an exceedingly critical visual localization solution for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)systems.The essence of cross-view geo-localization resides in matching images containing the same geographical targets from disparate platforms,such as UAV-view and satellite-view images.However,images of the same geographical targets may suffer from occlusions and geometric distortions due to variations in the capturing platform,view,and timing.The existing methods predominantly extract features by segmenting feature maps,which overlook the holistic semantic distribution and structural information of objects,resulting in loss of image information.To address these challenges,dilated neighborhood attention Transformer is employed as the feature extraction backbone,and Multi-feature representations based on Multi-scale Hierarchical Contextual Aggregation(MMHCA)is proposed.In the proposed MMHCA method,the multiscale hierarchical contextual aggregation method is utilized to extract contextual information from local to global across various granularity levels,establishing feature associations of contextual information with global and local information in the image.Subsequently,the multi-feature representations method is utilized to obtain rich discriminative feature information,bolstering the robustness of model in scenarios characterized by positional shifts,varying distances,and scale ambiguities.Comprehensive experiments conducted on the extensively utilized University-1652 and SUES-200 benchmarks indicate that the MMHCA method surpasses the existing techniques.showing outstanding results in UAV localization and navigation.

摘要ChuanWu(CW),the dried mother root of Aconitum carmichaelii Debx.,is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)recognized for its potent efficacy but inherent toxicity,primarily due to its alkaloid content.Traditional and modern detoxification methods for CW include proper processing,rational compatibility,and specialized decoction techniques,among which honey-boiled CW is particularly distinctive.However,research on the detoxification mechanism of honey-boiled CW remains limited.This study investigated this mechanism by analyzing alkaloid transformation and supramolecular aggregation.Honey-boiled and water-boiled CW preparations were compared.Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to analyze CW alkaloids,specifically diester alkaloids(DDAs),monoester alkaloids(MDAs),and non-esterified diterpenoid alkaloids(NDAs).Transmission electron microscopy was employed to observe and identify supramolecular aggregates in the honey-boiled CW decoction.In vivo absorption of water-boiled,honey-boiled,and NADES-boiled CW was compared.Median lethal dose(LD50)tests assessed toxicity,including hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity.In vitro experiments evaluated the safety,anti-inflammatory,and analgesic effects of CW-medicated serum on RAW264.7 cells,with in vivo validation in mice.Results showed that honey promoted the conversion of highly toxic DDAs to less toxic MDAs and prevented MDAs from hydrolyzing into NDAs.Honey-boiled CW formed approximately 250 nm supramolecular aggregates that encapsulated MDAs,inhibiting their conversion to NDAs.These encapsulated MDAs acted as a stable delivery system with higher bioavailability than free benzoylmesaconine.Subsequent mouse experiments confirmed that honey-boiled CW significantly increased the LD50 of CW while reducing hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity.Additionally,honey-boiled CW significantly improved cell safety and enhanced anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.Our findings reveal that honey-boiled CW exhibits a potent detoxification mechanism by influencing alkaloid transformation and facilitating the formation of supramolecular aggregates.This study lays the groundwork for developing detoxification or synergistic strategies within honey-boiled TCM.

摘要Increasing interest has been directed toward the potential of heterogeneous flexible loads to mitigate the challenges associated with the increasing variability and uncertainty of renewable generation.Evaluating the aggregated flexible region of load clusters managed by load aggregators is the crucial basis of power system scheduling for the system operator.This is because the aggregation result affects the qual-ity of the scheduling schemes.A stringent computation based on the Minkowski sum is NP-hard,whereas existing approximation meth-ods that use a special type of polytope exhibit limited adaptability when aggregating heterogeneous loads.This study proposes a stringent internal approximation method based on the convex hull of multiple layers of maximum volume boxes and embeds it into a day-ahead scheduling optimization model.The numerical results indicate that the aggregation accuracy can be improved compared with methods based on one type of special polytope,including boxes,zonotopes,and homothets.Hence,the reliability and economy of the power sys-tem scheduling can be enhanced.
