3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) has been widely used as a kind of insensitive single-compound explosive owing to its excellent balance between safety and explosive energy. To reduce its possible acid corrosion and extend its application to insensitive ammunition, acid protection research on NTO-based explosives is significant. Traditionally, the acid protection effect was evaluated by metal corrosion, which is time-consuming and qualitative.

Here, we showed that the interstitial nucleus of the posterior limb of the anterior commissure (IPAC) integrated rewarding and environmental memory information by two different receiving projections from ventral tegmental area (VTA) and nucleus accumbens shell region (NAcSh) to mediate the acquisition of morphine conditioned place preference (CPP). A projection from the VTA GABAergic neurons (VTA) to the IPAC lateral region GABAergic neurons (IPACL) mediated the effect of morphine rewarding, whereas the pathway from NAcSh dopamine receptor 1-expressing neurons (NAcSh) to the IPAC medial region GABAergic neurons (IPACM) was involved in the acquisition of environmental memory.

China has a massive special education undertaking that develops rapidly and forms a unique system. This study used bibliometric methods to conduct a macroscopic comparative analysis of Chinese and global literature, discuss the existing problems of China's special education, and put forward relevant recommendations accordingly.

Because of the thorough study on Mus musculus, it has been widely applied in lab, and becomes a good material for studying other animals. Phylogenetic relationship between different species and populations of Mus and Microtus are more clearly revealed with some genetic markers of modern genetics, such as protein, mtDNA, and rDNA.

By karyotype and G-banding analysis we have found variation in chromosome number and polymorphisms of the X chromosome and the second pair of autosomes of the subspecies. Chromosome number of the subspecies is 2n=47-50.

Karyotype, C-banding and silver-staining nucleolus organizer regions (Ag-NORs) were observed on chromosomes samples. The result showed that: (1) the chromosome number of Rana nigromaculata is 26 (2n=26), i.
