Cotton fabric is extensively utilized due to its numerous applications, but the flammability associated with cotton fabric poses potential security risks to individuals. A halogen-free efficient flame retardant named poly [(tetramethylcyclosiloxyl spirocyclic pentaerythritol)-piperazin phosphate] (PCPNTSi) was developed to consolidate the fire retardance of cotton fabrics. After PCPNTSi treatment, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) of cotton fabric with 30 % weight gain (CP3) was raised to 32.

Unfortunately, dense wireless networks can suffer from poor performance due to high levels of radio interference resulting from adjoining . To address this problem, we studied the , which selects the maximum or minimum power supplied to each AP so that the average among the concurrently communicating APs is maximized.

We developed a protocol for viability determination and storage of pollen for breeding new varieties. The medium components for pollen germination was optimized by using an Orthogonal Assay Test Strategy (OATS).

In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of , a tree species native to China, was sequenced and assembled through second-generation sequencing. The complete chloroplast genome of is 155,967 bp in length with a typical quadripartite structure, encompassing 130 genes including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis of 22 related species indicated that was more closely related to and .

Cubic tin dioxide and zinc stannate composite materials with a definite structure are successfully prepared at varied annealing temperatures and times by using the synthesized zinc hydroxystannate as a sacrificial template. After a gas sensing test, tin dioxide and zinc stannate composite samples etched at 650 °C and annealed for 4 h exhibit a strong response and outstanding selectivity to hydrogen peroxide.

In this study, the central city of Zhengzhou, a central city in central China, was selected as the study area and the excessive demand for six ecosystem services, namely, air purification, flood regulation, heat regulation, hydrological regulation, CO sequestration and recreational services, was quantitatively evaluated. The entropy method was used to calculate the weights of various ecosystem services, and spatial overlay analysis was performed to obtain the comprehensive ecosystem service excessive demand.

This strategy fails to ensure output equalization when the parameters of each dual active bridge (DAB) converter module are inconsistent, thus reducing the operational efficiency of the DCSST. To solve the above problems, a DCSST-balancing control strategy based on loop current suppression is presented.

Here, we describe a case of Fabry disease resulting in vasculopathy of the central nervous system. Magnetic resonance (MR) black-blood sequence (three-dimensional T1 volumetric isotropic turbo spin echo acquisition), with the unique advantage of imaging the vascular wall, facilitated a clear identification of the vasculopathy.

Methods: From March 2015 to December 2017, the data of the inpatients of primary central nervous system vasculitis in first Hospital of Jilin University were collected, and their clinical manifestation, imaging, and pathological characteristics were analyzed by using a descriptive method.
Results: There were 18 patients, 10 males (55.
In this study, we cloned a full-length cDNA encoding vitellogenin (Vg) in the Fujian oyster Crassostrea angulata. The complete Vg cDNA consists of 5160 nucleotides with a long open reading frame encoding 1641 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence shared high similarity with the Vgs of other mollusc, fish, nematode and arthropod species, particularly in the N-terminal region.
