A Variable-Scale Data Analysis-Based Identification Method for Key Cost Center in Intelligent Manufacturing.

Although the competitive advantages brought by intelligent manufacturing technology for enterprises have been preliminarily shown, a lack of matched management capacity still greatly limits its effect. This paper focuses on the cost management capacity problem of intelligent manufacturing enterprises. The multiscale cost data model is established on the basis of the three-dimensional cost system model, which contains actual cost, standard cost, and testing cost.

Gene expression analysis of resistant and susceptible rice cultivars to sheath blight after inoculation with Rhizoctonia solani.

Background: Rice sheath blight, caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kühn (teleomorph: Thanatephorus cucumeris), is one of the most severe diseases in rice (Oryza sativa L.) worldwide. Studies on resistance genes and resistance mechanisms of rice sheath blight have mainly focused on indica rice.

Genome-wide association of single nucleotide polymorphism loci and candidate genes for frogeye leaf spot (Cercospora sojina) resistance in soybean.

Background: Frogeye leaf spot (FLS) is a destructive fungal disease that affects soybean production. The most economical and effective strategy to control FLS is the use of resistant cultivars. However, the use of a limited number of resistant loci in FLS management will be countered by the emergence of new high-virulence Cercospora sojina races.

Photoresponsive supramolecular strategy for controlled assembly in light-inert double-chain surfactant system.

Hypothesis: One of the main advances in double-chain surfactant systems has been their progress from the construction of assemblies to the transformation application in medicine and material science, especially to the drug delivery systems. Thus, it is critical to develop stimuli-responsive assemblies based on double-chain surfactants. We predicted that reversible assembly switching can be achieved by manipulation of the ternary host-guest competitive complexation among β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), surfactants, and designed azobenzene (Azo).

Comparative transcriptome analysis of two Cercospora sojina strains reveals differences in virulence under nitrogen starvation stress.

Background: Cercospora sojina is a fungal pathogen that causes frogeye leaf spot in soybean-producing regions, leading to severe yield losses worldwide. It exhibits variations in virulence due to race differentiation between strains. However, the candidate virulence-related genes are unknown because the infection process is slow, making it difficult to collect transcriptome samples.

Comparative genomics and association analysis identifies virulence genes of Cercospora sojina in soybean.

Background: Recently, a new strain of Cercospora sojina (Race15) has been identified, which has caused the breakdown of resistance in most soybean cultivars in China. Despite this serious yield reduction, little is known about why this strain is more virulent than others. Therefore, we sequenced the Race15 genome and compared it to the Race1 genome sequence, as its virulence is significantly lower.

Growth of graphene with large single-crystal domains by Ni foam-assisted structure and its high-gain field-effect transistors.

High-quality graphene materials and high-performance graphene transistors have attracted much attention in recent years. To obtain high-performance graphene transistors, large single-crystal graphene is needed. The synthesis of large-domain-sized single-crystal graphene requires low nucleation density; this can lead to a lower growth rate.

Self-assembly facilitated and visible light-driven generation of carbon dots.

Carbon dots (CDs) with an absolute fluorescence quantum yield of 87% are facilely prepared via irradiation of self-assembled terthiophene amphiphile TTC4L in aqueous solution by mild visible light. Visible light irradiation of TTC4L triggers the production of superoxide radicals in water, which oxidize the closely packed terthiophene group into carbon dots. Our results reveal that the molecular self-assembly may act as important precursor for the generation of single molecule-like carbon dots; this method paves the way for the fabrication of CDs of high quality.

Coordinating Self-Assembly of Copper Perylenetetracarboxylate Nanorods: Selectively Lighting up Normal Cells around Cancerous Ones for Better Cancer Diagnosis.

Specific imaging of cancer cells has been well-accepted in cancer diagnosis although it cannot precisely mark the boundary between the normal and cancerous cells and report their mutual influence. We report a nanorod fluorescent probe of copper perylenetetracarbonate (PTC-Cu) that can specifically light up normal cells. In combination with cancer cell imaging, the cocultured normal and cancer cells can be lit up with different colors, offering a clear contrast between the normal and cancer cells when they coexist.

General Approach To Construct Photoresponsive Self-Assembly in a Light-Inert Amphiphilic System.

The ability to modulate amphiphilic aggregation reversibly with external stimuli, especially using light as a trigger, is of great importance. This has greatly contributed to the development of applications using self-assembly. However, most previously described systems are based on a specific molecular design and have shown difficultly in their application to light-inert aggregation.

Porous Pt Nanotubes with High Methanol Oxidation Electrocatalytic Activity Based on Original Bamboo-Shaped Te Nanotubes.

In this report, a facile and general strategy was developed to synthesize original bamboo-shaped Te nanotubes (NTs) with well-controlled size and morphology. On the basis of the as-prepared Te NTs, porous Pt nanotubes (NTs) with excellent property and structural stability have been designed and manufactured. Importantly, we avoided the use of surface stabilizing agents, which may affect the catalytic properties during the templated synthesis process.

Temperature dependent coordinating self-assembly.

Self-assemblies dominated by coordination interaction are hardly responsive to thermal stimuli. We show that in case the coordinating mode changes with temperature, the resultant assemblies also exhibit temperature dependence. The self-assemblies are constructed with perylene tetracarboxylate and metal ions.

Multiple DNA architectures with the participation of inorganic metal ions.

Here we develop a synthetic protocol for assembling DNA with participating metal ions into multiple shapes. DNA molecules first form coordination complexes with metal ions and these coordination complexes become nucleation sites for primary crystals of metal inorganic salt, and then elementary units of space-filling architectures based on specific geometry form, and finally elementary units assemble into variously larger multiple architectures according to different spatial configurations. We anticipate that our strategy for self-assembling various custom architectures is applicable to most biomolecules possessing donor atoms that can form coordination complexes with metal ions.

Understanding and enhancement of internal clustering validation measures.

Clustering validation has long been recognized as one of the vital issues essential to the success of clustering applications. In general, clustering validation can be categorized into two classes, external clustering validation and internal clustering validation. In this paper, we focus on internal clustering validation and present a study of 11 widely used internal clustering validation measures for crisp clustering.

Influence of counterions on micellization of tetramethylammonium perfluorononanoic carboxylate in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ionic liquid.

The influence of counterions on micellization of perfluorononanoic carboxylate ammonium salts in water and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim]BF(4)) solutions was investigated by surface tension and (19)F NMR measurements and freeze-fracture transmission electron microscopy (FF-TEM) observations. Changes in the counterions of the fluorocarbon surfactants have different effects on the two solvents. With the increase of counterion volume, the critical micelle concentration (cmc) value of relevant fluorinated surfactant decreases in aqueous solutions.
