Fault diagnosis method of rolling bearing based on SSA-VMD and RCMDE.

To address the limitations of weak information extraction of rolling bearing fault features and the poor generalization performance of diagnostic methods, a novel method was proposed based on sparrow search algorithm (SSA)-Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) and refined composite multi-scale dispersion entropy (RCMDE). Firstly, SSA optimized the key parameters of VMD to decompose the fault signal. The time-frequency domain comprehensive evaluation factor algorithm was then employed to select the sensitive intrinsic mode function (IMF) components for reconstruction.

GPR41 deficiency aggravates type 1 diabetes in streptozotocin-treated mice by promoting dendritic cell maturation.

Disturbances in intestinal immune homeostasis predispose susceptible individuals to type 1 diabetes (T1D). G-protein-coupled receptor 41 (GPR41) is a receptor for short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) mainly produced by gut microbiota, which plays key roles in maintaining intestinal homeostasis. In this study, we investigated the role of GPR41 in the progression of T1D.

Photo-induced scandium-catalyzed biomimetic skeleton conversion of lathyrane to naturally rare eupholathone diterpenes.

The naturally scarce eupholathone-type euphornin E (1) was efficiently prepared from abundant lathyrane-type factor L a visible-light-induced Sc(OTf)-catalyzed tandem process. Eupholathones 2 and 3 were also smoothly obtained by changing the reaction solvent. This route provides a convenient method for easily constructing scarce eupholathone- from lathyrane-type diterpenes, and confirms the biogenetic relationship between them from a chemical standpoint.

[Characteristics of Soil Microbial Community in Different Habitats in the Process of Ecological Restoration of Haifeng Wetland in Guangdong].

Soil microorganisms can respond to changes in wetland ecosystem quality and functional evolution sensitively. To explore the changes and response mechanisms of soil microorganisms under ecological restoration measures, the characteristics of the soil microbial community and their influencing factors were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing technology in four different habitats (revegetation area, native vegetation area, tidal creek, and tidal flat) during the ecological restoration process in Haifeng wetland in Guangdong. The results showed that:soil physicochemical properties of the four different habitats were significantly different; the contents of TC, TN, TOC, and TK in the tidal creek were significantly higher than those in the other habitats; and the contents of TC, TN, and TP in the revegetation restoration area were significantly higher than those in the tidal flat.

Age-related hearing loss accelerates the decline in fast speech comprehension and the decompensation of cortical network connections.

Patients with age-related hearing loss face hearing difficulties in daily life. The causes of age-related hearing loss are complex and include changes in peripheral hearing, central processing, and cognitive-related abilities. Furthermore, the factors by which aging relates to hearing loss via changes in auditory processing ability are still unclear.

Visible-Light-Promoted Tandem Thiol-Ene Click Reaction/Transannular Cyclization and Regioselective Cyclopropane Ring-Opening to Construct Sulfur-Containing Diterpenes.

The biorelevant sulfur-containing diterpenes with scarce 5/7/6/3 premyrsinane- and 5/7/6 myrsinane-type backbones were easily constructed from naturally abundant lathyrane-type factor L by visible-light-triggered tandem thiol-ene click reaction/transannular cyclization and regioselective cyclopropane ring-opening. The selenide diterpene was also successfully obtained to verify the system universality. This concise synthesis route gives an efficient strategy for obtaining structurally diverse diterpenes under very mild conditions and provides a promising anti-HIV bioactive premyrsinane diterpene .

[Comparison on driving mechanism of county ecological efficiency: With three counties in the mountainous area of southern Ningxia, China as an example].

With Tongxin, Xiji, and Longde counties in the mountainous area of southern Ningxia as the research area, we used extended-exergy analysis (EEA) to compare their ecological efficiency driving mechanism in 2008-2017 to explore the causes of their variation in ecological degradation. The results showed that the overall difference of ecological efficiency in the three counties was significant during the study period. The ecological efficiency of Tongxin was low, with large inter-annual variation.

Effect of erythropoietin combined with hypothermia on serum tau protein levels and neurodevelopmental outcome in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

Although hypothermia therapy is effective to treat neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, many neonatal patients die or suffer from severe neurological dysfunction. Erythropoietin is considered one of the most promising neuroprotective agents. We hypothesized that erythropoietin combined with hypothermia will improve efficacy of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy treatment.

Diet and feeding behavior of a group of 42 Phayre's langurs in a seasonal habitat in Mt. Gaoligong, Yunnan, China.

In habitats such as temperate evergreen forests, fruit, and seed productivity is reported to exhibit marked changes in seasonal availability, such that fruit is most available in summer and seeds are most available in autumn. Primates living in these habitats, therefore, are expected to adjust their diets in response to the spatial and temporal variation in these food resources. We studied the diet and feeding behavior of a group of 42 Phayre's langurs (Trachypithecus phayrei) living in a northern (24°48'N) montane habitat (1,700-2,350 m) in Mt.

Targets for human encoded microRNAs in HBV genes.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are increasingly being shown to play vital roles in development, apoptosis, and oncogenesis by interfering with gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. miRNAs, in principle, can contribute to the repertoire of host-pathogen interactions during infection by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). Using a consensus-scoring approach, high-scoring miRNA-target pairs were selected, which were identified by four well-established target-prediction softwares.
