Technical design of an innovative biomass/gasification-driven power plant with heat recovery hybrid system: CO emission comparison between the designed plant and fossil fuel-powered plants.

This study aims to introduce, conceptualize, and design a novel biomass/gasification-driven hybrid energy configuration. The proposed hybrid configuration has four subsystems: reformer solid oxide fuel cell (RSOFC), biomass/gasification, homogeneous charge compression ignition engine (HCCIE) plus waste heat recovery system (WHRS). RSOFC and HCCIE systems are embedded to generate electric energy.

Is there hybridization between 2 species of the same genus in sympatry?-The genetic relationships between Anoplophora glabripennis, Anoplophora chinensis, and putative hybrids.

Anoplophora glabripennis (Asian longhorn beetle, ALB) and Anoplophora chinensis (Citrus longhorn beetle, CLB) are native forest pests in China; they have become important international quarantine pests. They are found using the same Salix aureo-pendula host tree of Cixi, Zhejiang province, China. On this host tree, we collected additional beetles that appeared to be morphologically intermediate between ALB and CLB.

Analysis of nutrients in and treatment of diarrhea in mice fed with insect powder.

The insect larvae of , and other closely related species are related to the insects that bore through the stems of the . Because of therich nutritional as well as medicinal value of edible , it is often used to nourish the body, enhance immunity, and to treat ailments such as diarrhea. The soluble protein content of was determined using Kjeldahl and Soxhlet extraction methods.

The complete mitochondrial genome of an ornamental firefly (Coleoptera, Lampyridae).

(Fabricius, 1801) (Coleoptera, Lampyridae, Pyrocoelia) is a beautiful ornamental insect widely distributed in East and Southeast Asia. The complete mitogenome of has been sequenced. The mitogenome, total length of 14,785 bp, includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and a noncoding D-loop region.

Wnt/β-catenin signal transduction pathway in prostate cancer and associated drug resistance.

Globally, prostate cancer ranks second in cancer burden of the men. It occurs more frequently in black men compared to white or Asian men. Usually, high rates exist for men aged 60 and above.

RNA N6-Methyladenosine Responds to Low-Temperature Stress in Tomato Anthers.

Cold stress is a serious threat to subtropical crop pollen development and induces yield decline. N6-methyladenosine (mA) is the most frequent mRNA modification and plays multiple physiological functions in plant development. However, whether mA regulates pollen development is unclear, and its putative role in cold stress response remains unknown.

LncRNA MCM3AP-AS1 promotes breast cancer progression via modulating miR-28-5p/CENPF axis.

Breast cancer is one of the commonly occurred cancers among women and poses a huge threat against female health. Abnormal expression of lncRNA has been confirmed to be an important inducer of cancer. By searching GEO and TCGA database, we found that CENPF was upregulated in breast cancer tissues.

[Changes of reflectance spectra of pine needles in different stage after being infected by pine wood nematode].

In the present study, seedlings of Pinus Thunbergii and Pinus Massoniana were planted and used for reflectance spectrum measurement. In different stage after being infected by pine wood nematode, reflectance spectra were measured by ASD spectrometer and the features of spectral parameters and the change of chlorophyll were analyzed. The results showed that (1) Disease could be estimated in the early stage according to the curve of mid-infrared reflectance; (2) Dynamic parameters such as the position of red edge, green peak height, reflectance of red band, slope of red edge and reflectance of water-stressed wave band were consistent with the disease features of two pine species after being infected by pine wood nematode; (3) To both of two pine species, content of chlorophyll tended to reduce with the development of disease and obvious linear relationship was observed between chlorophyll content and spectral parameters.

[Biological and ecological bases of using insect as a bio-indicator to asses forest health].

Insect is an important component of forest biodiversity, which is closely related with plant in the main community of forest ecosystem. Intimidation of forest pest and variation of insect diversity is of importance for assessing forest ecosystem health. Insect diversity can be used for rapidly assessing forest ecosystem health.
