Th...We present the fabrication and testing of a silicon carbide (SiC) balanced mass doublended tuning fork that survives harsh environments without compromising the device strain sensitivity and resolution bandwidth. The device features a material stack that survives corrosive environments and enables high-temperature operation. To perform hightemperature testing, a specialized setup was constructed that allows the tuning fork to be characterized using traditional silicon electronics. The tuning fork has been operated at 600°C in the presence of dry steam for short durations. This tuning fork has also been tested to 64 000 G using a hard-launch, soft-catch shock implemented with a light gas gun. However, the device still has a strain sensitivity of 66 Hz/μe and strain resolution of 0. 045 μe in a 10 kHz bandwidth. As such, this balanced-mass double-ended tuning fork can be used to create a variety of different sensors including strain gauges, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and pressure transducers. Given the adaptable fabrication process flow, this device could be useful to micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) designers creating sensors for a variety of different applications.展开更多

Relatively little is known about the responses of C3 and C4 species to longterm exposure to glacial conditions. Here Abutilon theophrasti Medik. (C3) and Amaranthus retroflexus L. (C4) were grown at 200 umol/mol CO2 with current (30/24℃) and glacial (22/16℃) temperatures for 22d. Overall, the C4 species exhibited a large growth advantage over the C3 species at low [CO2]. However, this advantage was reduced at low temperature, where the C4 species produced 5x the total mass of the C3 species versus 14x at the high temperature. This difference was due to a reduction in C4 growth at low temperature, since the C3 species exhibited similar growth between temperatures. Physiological differences between temperatures were not detected for either species, although photorespiration/net photosynthesis was reduced in the C3 species grown at low temperature, suggesting evidence of improved carbon balance at this treatment. This system suggests that C4 species had a growth advantage over C3 species during low [CO2] of the last ice age, although concurrent reductions in temperatures may have reduced this advantage.展开更多

Improper regulation of these B cells may be an important factor that underlies autoimmune disease. Here we have explored the influence of self-reactive innate B cells in the development of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), a mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis. We show that splenic marginal zone (MZ), but not B- 1 B cells exhibit spontaneous IgM reactivity to autologous collagen II in na'='ve mice. Upon immunization with heterologous collagen II in complete Freund's adjuvant the collagen-reactive MZ B cells expanded rapidly, while the B-1 B cells showed a modest anti-collagen response. The MZ B cells were easily activated by toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 and 9-1igands in vitro, inducing proliferation and cytokine secretion, implying that dual engagement of the B-cell receptor and TLRs may promote the immune response to self-antigen. Furthermore, collagen-primed MZ B cells showed significant antigen-presenting capacity as reflected by cognate T-cell proliferation in vitroand induction of IgG anti-collagen antibodies in vivo. MZ B cells that were deficient in complement receptors I and 2 demonstrated increased proliferation and cytokine production, while Fcy receptor lib deficiency of the cells lead to increased cytokine production and antigen presentation. In conclusion, our data highlight self-reactive MZ B cells as initiators of the autoimmune response in CIA, where complement and Fc receptors are relevant in controlling the self-reactivity in the cells.展开更多

文摘Biodiversity,large trees,and environmental conditions such as climate and soil have important effects on forest carbon stocks.However,recent studies in temperate forests suggest that the relative importance of these factors depends on tree mycorrhizal associations,whereby large-tree effects may be driven by ectomycorrhizal(EM)trees,diversity effects may be driven by arbuscular mycorrhizal(AM)trees,and environment effects may depend on differential climate and soil preferences of AM and EM trees.To test this hypothesis,we used forest-inventory data consisting of over 80,000 trees from 631 temperate-forest plots(30 m×30 m)across Northeast China to examine how biodiversity(species diversity and ecological uniqueness),large trees(top 1%of tree diameters),and environmental factors(climate and soil nutrients)differently regulate aboveground carbon stocks of AM trees,EM trees,and AM and EM trees combined(i.e.total aboveground carbon stock).We found that large trees had a positive effect on both AM and EM tree carbon stocks.However,biodiversity and environmental factors had opposite effects on AM vs.EM tree carbon stocks.Specifically,the two components of biodiversity had positive effects on AM tree carbon stocks,but negative effects on EM tree carbon stocks.Environmental heterogeneity(mean annual temperature and soil nutrients)also exhibited contrasting effects on AM and EM tree carbon stocks.Consequently,for the total carbon stock,the positive large-tree effect far surpasses the diversity and environment effect.This is mainly because when integrating AM and EM tree carbon stock into total carbon stock,the opposite diversity-effect(also environment-effect)on AM vs.EM tree carbon stock counteracts each other while the consistent positive large-tree effect on AM and EM tree carbon stock is amplified.In summary,this study emphasized a mycorrhizal viewpoint to better understand the determinants of overarching aboveground carbon profile across regional forests.

文摘In order to improve CO_(2) capture,utilization and storage(CCUS) to solve carbon emission,sandstone from the Triassic Liujiagou Formation(LF) from the Ordos Basin in China was investigated using permeability tests and computed X-ray tomography(CT) scanning.The presence of reactive minerals within the geological CO_(2) sequestration target storage formation can allow reaction with injected CO_(2),which changes the porosity and permeability of the LF beds,affecting storage effectiveness.To investigate the effect of chemical reactions on the pore structure and permeability of sandstone cores representing the LF CO_(2) storage,tests were conducted to analyze the changes in porosity and permeability of sandstone cores induced by CO_(2)-saturated brine at different reaction times(28-day maximum reaction period).Porosity and permeability of the sandstone increased after reaction with CO_(2)-saturated brine due to mineral dissolution.The sandstone exhibited an increase in porosity and permeability after 15 days of reaction with CO_(2)-saturated brine.Moreover,there was an increase in the volume of large pores in the sandstone after the 28-day period.The pore network of the sandstone was established through CT results,and the porosity calculated based on the obtained pore network was close to that measured in the test,demonstrating the feasibility to use CT to study the evolution of the microstructure of sandstone after long-time exposure to CO_(2)-saturated brine.

文摘During the last ice age, CO2 concentration ([CO2]) was 180-200 umol/mol compared with the modern value of 380 umol/mol, and global temperatures were -8 ℃ cooler. Relatively little is known about the responses of C3 and C4 species to longterm exposure to glacial conditions. Here Abutilon theophrasti Medik. (C3) and Amaranthus retroflexus L. (C4) were grown at 200 umol/mol CO2 with current (30/24℃) and glacial (22/16℃) temperatures for 22d. Overall, the C4 species exhibited a large growth advantage over the C3 species at low [CO2]. However, this advantage was reduced at low temperature, where the C4 species produced 5x the total mass of the C3 species versus 14x at the high temperature. This difference was due to a reduction in C4 growth at low temperature, since the C3 species exhibited similar growth between temperatures. Physiological differences between temperatures were not detected for either species, although photorespiration/net photosynthesis was reduced in the C3 species grown at low temperature, suggesting evidence of improved carbon balance at this treatment. This system suggests that C4 species had a growth advantage over C3 species during low [CO2] of the last ice age, although concurrent reductions in temperatures may have reduced this advantage.
文摘目的了解上海地区男男性行为人群(Men who have sex with men,MSM)的社会学特征及艾滋病相关的健康需求,分析该人群主动参与艾滋病病毒(Human immunodeficiency virus,HIV)抗体检测的情况,为更好地开展MSM人群艾滋病高危行为干预提供思路。方法采用横断面调查方法,于2010年对上海地区314名符合入选标准的研究对象进行一对一问卷调查,收集一般人口学信息、性取向与性活动情况、既往接受HIV抗体检测及HIV感染情况等资料,进行相关的统计描述与分析。结果被调查的314名MSM中,68.5%(215/314)为外来人员;其性伙伴为仅男性、男性为主、男女各半及女性为主的分别占64.0%(201/314)、21.7%(68/314)、7.0%(22/314)和7.3%(23/314)。其中既往HIV抗体检测率为73.9%(232/314),最近2年检测率为63.4%(199/314),不参与检测的主要原因是不相信自己会感染。被调查者对目前艾滋病防治工作的建议主要为加强宣传教育,多关心、多理解、少歧视,加强免费安全套推广等。结论上海市MSM人群对艾滋病防治相关的健康干预措施有较高的需求,加强反对歧视的宣传,多关心、多理解MSM人群,推广免费优质安全套等措施能有效满足MSM人群的健康和心理需求,对有效开展艾滋病防治工作具有重要意义。
文摘Polyreactive innate-type B cells account for many B cells expressing self-reactivity in the periphery. Improper regulation of these B cells may be an important factor that underlies autoimmune disease. Here we have explored the influence of self-reactive innate B cells in the development of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), a mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis. We show that splenic marginal zone (MZ), but not B- 1 B cells exhibit spontaneous IgM reactivity to autologous collagen II in na'='ve mice. Upon immunization with heterologous collagen II in complete Freund's adjuvant the collagen-reactive MZ B cells expanded rapidly, while the B-1 B cells showed a modest anti-collagen response. The MZ B cells were easily activated by toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 and 9-1igands in vitro, inducing proliferation and cytokine secretion, implying that dual engagement of the B-cell receptor and TLRs may promote the immune response to self-antigen. Furthermore, collagen-primed MZ B cells showed significant antigen-presenting capacity as reflected by cognate T-cell proliferation in vitroand induction of IgG anti-collagen antibodies in vivo. MZ B cells that were deficient in complement receptors I and 2 demonstrated increased proliferation and cytokine production, while Fcy receptor lib deficiency of the cells lead to increased cytokine production and antigen presentation. In conclusion, our data highlight self-reactive MZ B cells as initiators of the autoimmune response in CIA, where complement and Fc receptors are relevant in controlling the self-reactivity in the cells.
