基于同化数据的标准化土壤湿度指数监测农业干旱的适宜性研究

农业干旱是导致作物减产的主要灾害之一,及时、准确地监测农业干旱状况有助于制定区域减灾策略,降低灾害损失。标准化土壤湿度指数(SSMI)是基于历史土壤湿度时间序列构建的一种农业干旱指数,目前分析该指数监测农业干旱的适宜性研究十分缺乏。本文以黄淮海平原为研究区,利用数据同化的根区土壤湿度数据构建SSMI,并通过与标准化降水蒸散指数(SPEI)、农业干旱灾害记录数据的对比以及与冬小麦产量的关系分析,综合评价SSMI监测农业干旱的适宜性。结果表明,SSMI与SPEI具有良好的一致性,二者之间具有极显著相关关系(P0.001);利用SSMI识别的农业干旱与农气站点干旱灾害记录是基本一致的,SSMI能够有效反映干旱发生、发展直至减轻的演变过程;冬小麦生长季SSMI与减产率显著相关,利用SSMI识别的农业干旱发生区域与基于统计数据计算的减产区域基本相符,SSMI能够对农业干旱引起的冬小麦减产起到一定的指示作用。综上所述,基于同化数据构建的SSMI能够反映黄淮海平原的农业干旱状况,利用SSMI监测区域农业干旱状况是适宜的。研究可为基于土壤湿度的农业干旱监测业务化运行提供依据,为黄淮海平原的抗旱减灾提供科学参考。     

A Geometric Representation of Collective Attention Flows

With the fast development of Internet and WWW, “information overload” has become an overwhelming problem, and collective attention of users will play a more important role nowadays. As a result, knowing how collective attention distributes and flows among different websites is the first step to understand the underlying dynamics of attention on WWW. In this paper, we propose a method to embed a large number of web sites into a high dimensional Euclidean space according to the novel concept of flow distance, which both considers connection topology between sites and collective click behaviors of users. With this geometric representation, we visualize the attention flow in the data set of Indiana university clickstream over one day. It turns out that all the websites can be embedded into a 20 dimensional ball, in which, close sites are always visited by users sequentially. The distributions of websites, attention flows, and dissipations can be divided into three spherical crowns (core, interim, and periphery). 20% popular sites (Google.com, Myspace.com, Facebook.com, etc.) attracting 75% attention flows with only 55% dissipations (log off users) locate in the central layer with the radius 4.1. While 60% sites attracting only about 22% traffics with almost 38% dissipations locate in the middle area with radius between 4.1 and 6.3. Other 20% sites are far from the central area. All the cumulative distributions of variables can be well fitted by “S”-shaped curves. And the patterns are stable across different periods. Thus, the overall distribution and the dynamics of collective attention on websites can be well exhibited by this geometric representation.     

甜菜属厚皮菜SWTY-1细胞质VNTRs多态性分析

利用数目可变串联重复序列(Variable Number of Tandem Repeats,VNTRs)微卫星标记方法,对重庆厚皮菜甜菜材料SWTY-1群体中100个单株的细胞质线粒体DNA片段中TR2位点VNTRs片段多态性进行分析。结果显示97个单株线粒体TR2位点微卫星串联重复序列均为3拷贝,与普通糖甜菜一致;3个单株线粒体TR2位点微卫星串联重复序列为6拷贝,发现甜菜属厚皮菜细胞质TR2位点VNTRs存在多态性,在该群体中发现了不同于甜菜栽培种新的细胞质单株。对该群体材料100个单株的抽薹及结籽进行观测,结果显示微卫星串联重复序列为6拷贝的变异植株中2个单株花期未抽苔开花,1株抽苔晚未形成正常种子;细胞质TR2位点VNTRs片段拷贝数为3的植株中2个单株未能正常抽薹,其他植株均正常抽薹结籽。     

长期耕种对江苏沿海围垦区滨海盐土理化性质和小麦产量的影响

江苏沿海地区拥有丰富的滩涂资源滩涂围垦长期以来为国家提供了大量土地利用后备资源,而耕地又是其围垦后最主要的土地利用方式之一。利用实验室土壤理化分析调查江苏东台滩涂围垦区耕种60a内耕地土壤理化属性及对应小麦产量的变化。结果表明:(1)在58a的耕种过程中耕地土壤整体表现出脱盐、脱碱和养分积累的的趋势土壤电导率(EC_(1:5))、pH_(1:2.5)由耕种前的5.29dS/m和8.76下降至0.11dS/m和7.93,土壤有机质(SOM)和全氮(TN)则由2.64g/kg和0.15g/kg上升至13.72g/kg和1.12g/kg;(2)土壤碱解氮(AH-N)、有效磷(AP)和速效钾(AK)受施肥和作物生长影响强烈,除AK持续流失外,AHN和AP均表现出先增长后减少的趋势;(3)土壤碳氮比(C/N)和阳离子交换量(CEC)在耕种15-53a经历了剧烈波动,反应出此期间该地区土壤的脆弱性,除AK外,各土壤理化指标均在耕种53a后开始影响20cm以下的深层土壤;(4)随着土壤环境的改善,小麦产量的上升经历了快速增产(0—15a)、波动中产(15—53a)和稳定高产(53a以上)3个阶段,在耕种53年后可达到该品种小麦(扬麦16)正常产量。虽然高强度的农业开发使土壤质量和小麦产量的都有了大幅提升,但耕种0—40年间所表现出的土壤环境的剧烈变化和波动,以及化肥投入与小麦产量之间不对应所可能导致的生态系统问题却应当引起重视,为日后的农业开发提供参考依据。     

Extensive hydrolysis of raw rice starch by a chimeric α-amylase engineered with α-amylase (AmyP) and a starch-binding domain from Cryptococcus sp. S-2

Recombinant chimeric α-amylase (AmyP-Cr) was constructed by a catalytic core of α-amylase (AmyP) from a marine metagenomic library and a starch-binding domain (SBD_Cr) of α-amylase from Cryptococcus sp. S-2. The molecular fusion did not alter optimum pH, optimum temperature, hydrolysis products, and an ability of preferential and rapid degradation towards raw rice starch, but catalytic efficiency and thermostability were remarkably improved compared with those of the wild-type AmyP. AmyP-Cr achieved the final hydrolysis degree of 61.7 ± 1.2% for 10% raw rice starch and 47.3 ± 0.8% for 15% raw rice starch after 4 h at 40 °C with 1.0 U per mg of raw starch. The catalytic efficiency was very high, with 3.6–4.0 times higher than that of AmyP. The enhanced catalytic efficiency was attributed to the better thermostability and the higher adsorption and disruption to raw rice starch caused by SBD_Cr. The properties of AmyP-Cr open a new way in terms of a new design of raw rice starch processing.

     

Operando Visualization of Morphological Dynamics in All‐Solid‐State Batteries

All‐solid‐state batteries (SSBs) are considered as attractive options for next‐generation energy storage owing to the favorable properties (unit transference number and thermal stabilities) of solid electrolytes. However, there are also serious concerns about mechanical deformation of solid electrolytes leading to the degradation of the battery performance. Therefore, understanding the mechanism underlying the electromechanical properties in SSBs is essentially important. Here, 3D and time‐resolved measurements of an all‐solid‐state cell using synchrotron radiation X‐ray tomographic microscopy are shown. The gradient of the electrochemical reaction and the morphological evolution in the composite layer can be clearly observed. Volume expansion/compression of the active material (Sn) is strongly oriented along the thickness of the electrode. While this results in significant deformation (cracking) in the solid electrolyte region, organized cracking patterns depending on the particle size and their arrangements is also found. This study based on operando visualization therefore opens the door toward rational design of particles and electrode morphology for all‐solid‐state batteries.
