Future Projection for Wave Climate around Taiwan Using Weather-Type Statistical Downscaling Method - Wei-Shiun Lu; Chi-Hsiang Tseng; Shih-Chun Hsiao; Wen-Son Chiang; Kai-Cheng Hu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Taiwan is surrounded by sea; therefore, coastal hazards might become severe due to climate change. The analysis of wave climate characteristics at different time scales (long-term historical period, seasonal prediction, and future prediction) can be used as a reference for the impact of climate change on coastal environments. This model associates the significant wave height with the atmospheric predictor defined by the sea level pressure (SLP) field. We applied SLP based on the outputs of a global climate model (GCM) under two possible future scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) in the Fifth Assessment Report, AR5 (IPCC, 2014), then used the historical data of the predictor (sea level pressure) and predictand (sea-state parameters) from reanalysis databases to calibrate the model. The recent historical atmospheric conditions responsible for the swell wave component at the target site are included in the predictor definition. The 18 days sea level pressure fields are used as a predictor by utilizing the evaluation of source and travel-time of wave energy reaching a local area (ESTELA) method. The verification proves the model’s skill to reproduce the seasonal and interannual variability of monthly sea state parameters and can be used to further evaluate the wave climate change around Taiwan under different climate change scenarios. The prediction of wave climate on weather types provides a physical explanation for the relationship between the multivariate wave climate characterization and atmospheric forces. Through the analysis of the similarity and consistency between GCM data and reanalysis data, we can evaluate the suitability of GCM for wave climates in the Taiwan sea area. It shows how the weather type statistical method can be used to quantify the wave climate prediction results of each GCMs and to evaluate their differences and uncertainties, which will improve the estimation of the impact of wave climate change on Taiwan’s coast.

Has substantial sea ice loss along the Siberian coast contributed to the 2020/2021 winter cold wave in China? - Shaoyin Wang; Jiping Liu; Xiao Cheng; Tobias Kerzenmacher; Hua Li; Riyu Lu; Yongyun Hu; Zhuoqi Chen; Peter Braesicke (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
In winter 2020/2021, several episodes of cold air outbreaks have wreaked havoc across much of China, resulting in exceptionally low temperatures over northern‐to‐southeastern China. Our analysis shows that the anomalous circulation leading to the cold wave in China was characterized as: (a) a strengthening of the Siberian high, (b) a deepening of the East Asian trough, and (c) a weakening of the stratospheric polar vortex. Prior to the winter, in summer and autumn, the largest sea ice loss along the Siberian coast was observed. We therefore address the question whether the substantial sea ice loss has contributed to the cold wave. First, applying singular value decomposition (SVD) analysis, we find strong coherence between the autumn Arctic sea ice coverage and temperatures over the central‐to‐east Asian region with the sea ice component (SVD1_SIC) reaching a record high in 2020 and displaying a decadal shift around 2005. Associated with both the interannual and decadal variations of the SVD1_SIC, there are similar circulation anomalies as described in (a), (b) and (c) above. Second, applying self‐organizing maps, wintertime daily air temperatures are clustered into nine nodes with Node‐1 mostly resembling “warm Arctic, cold Eurasia” pattern. The frequency of Node‐1 shows a similar decadal shift as observed in SVD_SIC1 above, with a correlation of about 0.56. Associated with Node‐1, the circulation anomalies are consistent with features highlighted in (a), (b) and (c) above. Thus, taking all the evidence into account, we conclude that the substantial sea ice loss along the Siberian coast contributed significantly to the 2020/2021 winter cold wave in China. The mechanism behind the contribution in this study highlights that the Arctic sea ice loss is favourable for certain circulation patterns on climate timescale, reinforcing disruptive chain of reactions on weather timescale, and leading to severe cold events.

Application of Singularity Theory to the Distribution of Heavy Metals in Surface Sediments of the Zhongsha Islands - Yan Zhang; Shiqiao Liu; Li Zhang; Yongzhang Zhou; Jinqiang Liang; Jing’an Lu; Xiaoqiang Hu; Liang Liu; Liang Chen; Jingwei Zhang; Cheng Xu; Xinzhu Dong (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
This research aimed to use nonlinear theory and technology to describe the spatial distribution of heavy metals in the surface sediments of the Zhongsha Islands Sea region. The goal of this study is to explore the spatial distribution characteristics of heavy metals in the surface sediments of the Zhongsha Islands. The singularity theory and method were used to delineate heavy metal geochemical anomalies and the generalized self-similarity analysis method was used to decompose heavy metal geochemical anomalies and background concentrations. The results showed that there were abnormally high concentrations of heavy metals in the deep-sea plain area and in the western central sand trough area. The results of this study can inform priority areas for environmental monitoring. The element anomalies extracted by the singularity analysis method in this paper can be a guide to the next step in the investigation and provide the basis for the regional environmental assessment.

COLREGS-Complied Automatic Collision Avoidance for the Encounter Situations of Multiple Vessels - Ting Sun; Cheng Liu; Shuang Xu; Qizhi Hu; Cheng Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In crowded waters, the incidence of collision accidents of multiple vessels has increased significantly, most of which can be ascribed to human factors, particularly, human decision-making failures and inobservance with International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS). On this basis, an automatic collision avoidance strategy for the encounter situations of multiple vessels is proposed herein. First of all, a COLREGS-complied evasive action decision-making mechanism is established, which can determine the evasive action from the give-way vessel and stand-on vessel separately. It is worth emphasizing that the situation of vessels against COLREGS is taken into consideration herein. Furthermore, a novel automatic collision avoidance controller of multiple vessels on account of model predictive control (MPC) is devised, which can carry out control action ahead of time and handle the problem of rudder saturation. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed automatic collision avoidance strategy of multiple vessels is illustrated via extensive simulations.

Nutritional Components, Biochemical Characteristics, Enzyme Activities, and Growth Differences of Five Freshwater Fish Species? - Xiaona Jiang; Yan Li; Jingwen Tian; Chitao Li; Yanlong Ge; Xuesong Hu; Lei Cheng; Xiaodan Shi; Lianyu Shi; Zhiying Jia (Fishes, 2022)
Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is an economically important fish worldwide, with many of its species bred for consumption. However, there are few reports on the comprehensive comparative analysis of the muscle nutritional quality and stress resistance characteristics of different common carp species. In this study, after 15 months of feeding in the same environment, the nutritional components, serum biochemical indices, liver antioxidant and intestinal digestive enzyme activities, and muscle growth-related gene expression were determined in Songpu mirror carp (SPM; Cyprinus carpio Songpumirror), Heilongjiang wild carp (HLJ; Cyprinus carpio haematopirus), cold-resistant strain of purse red carp (CPR; Cyprinus carpio ‘Red purse cold-resistant’), Songhe carp (SH; Cyprinus carpio ‘Songhe’), and Songpu carp (SP; Cyprinus carpio Songpu). Muscle nutrient composition showed that HLJ had a significantly lower crude fat content and higher docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) + eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) proportion than the other four common carp species (p

Incorporating egg-transporting pathways into conservation plans of spawning areas: An example of small yellow croaker (Larimichthys polyactis) in the East China Sea zone - Zunlei Liu; Yan Jin; Linlin Yang; Liping Yan; Yi Zhang; Min Xu; Jianhua Tang; Yongdong Zhou; Fen Hu; Jiahua Cheng (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Backward-in-time Lagrangian model can identify potential spawning areas by reconstructing egg drift trajectories, contributing to accurately designing potential priority conservation plans for spawning areas. In this study, we apply this approach to investigate the small yellow croaker ( Larimichthys polyactis ) with commercial value in China. A two-step spatial random forest (RF) model is used to predict the occurrence probability and abundance of their eggs and describe the optimal ecological range of environmental factors. A priority protection index (BPPI) of the spawning areas is established by combining the sites with the optimal occurrence and abundance and integrating backward tracking pathways. The result indicates that the model with 1-2 day time lags of environmental variables shows the optimum explanatory power. Temperature and salinity are the most important factors affecting oogenesis and show a regime shift in the response curve. They reflect the physiological regulation of parental sexual maturation by the environment. In addition, egg abundance correlates more strongly with chlorophyll-a (Chl a) concentration and depth, suggesting that parents prefer environments with shallow water and high prey density for spawning activities. The egg retrieval shows that the potential spawning sources are distributed near the southeastern part of the oogenesis site, with a maximum egg dispersal distance of no more than 30 km. This finding confirms that the coastal regions of Jiangsu Province are an important spawning ground for the small yellow croaker, making a significant contribution to the productivity and resilience of the fish.

An Analytical Solution of Transient Wave Generation in the Wave Channel - Cheng-Tsung Chen; Jaw-Fang Lee; Kuei-Ting Lin; Pi-Sheng Hu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Transient characteristics of wave generation in the wave channel can provide unique and important information in contrast to the steady and periodic motion of propagation waves. In this paper, a new analytical solution is proposed for a transient wavemaker problem in the wave channel. The mathematical model of the wavemaker problem is established based on the linear potential wave theory, and a new analytical solution for the corresponding initial and boundary-value problem is presented. The present solution methodology is motivated and developed from old methods shown in literature. The present solution can be mathematically reformulated and shown to be identical to the previous solution using different solution methodology. The present analytical solution is further compared with numerical results and experiments to validate the mathematical model. The present solution is used to calculate the steady state generated wave forms that compare very well with the steady wave theory both in wave length and wave period. The present solution is also used to study unsteady characteristics of wave heights and wave lengths of the leading waves. The present analytical solution methodology can provide an easier approach to obtain the analytical solution for transient wave generation problem in the wave channel.

Slope aspect determines the abundance and composition of nitrogen‐cycling microbial communities in an alpine ecosystem - Jianbin Pan; Yongjun Liu; Yue Yang; Zhongxia Cheng; Xiaomei Lan; Weigang Hu; Guoxi Shi; Qi Zhang; Huyuan Feng (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Slope aspect is an important topographic feature that can influence local environmental conditions. While strong effects of slope aspect on aboveground and belowground communities have been frequently elucidated, how slope aspect affects soil nitrogen (N) cycling microbes remains unclear. Here, we characterized the communities of soil N‐cycling microbes on south‐ and north‐facing slopes in an alpine ecosystem, by quantifying (qPCR) and high‐throughput sequencing six genes involved in N‐fixation ( nifH ), nitrification (archaeal and bacterial amoA ) and denitrification ( nirK , nirS and nosZ ). We found that the abundance, diversity and community composition of major N‐cycling microbes differed dramatically between the two slope aspects, and these variances could be well explained by the aspect‐driven differences in environmental conditions, especially soil temperature and moisture. The response patterns of different N‐cycling groups to slope aspect were much inconsistent, especially for those with similar functions (i.e. ammonia‐oxidizing archaea vs. bacteria, nirK ‐ vs. nirS ‐reducers), indicating strong niche differentiation between these counterparts. We also observed strong preferences and distinct co‐occurrence patterns of N‐cycling microbial taxa for the two slope aspects. These findings highlight the importance of slope aspect in determining the abundance, species distribution and community structure of N‐cycling microbes, and consequently influencing N‐cycling processes and ecosystem functioning.

Understanding the social impacts of enforcement activities on illegal wildlife trade in China - Sifan Hu; Yu Cheng; Rong Pan; Fasheng Zou; Tien Ming Lee (Ambio, 2022)
Illegal wildlife trade enforcement is a cornerstone conservation strategy worldwide, yet we have a limited understanding on its social impacts. Using Chinese online wildlife seizure news (2003–2018), we evaluated the interactions among enforcement operations, news frequency, and social engagement (i.e., whistle-blowing) frequency. Our results showed that intensive enforcement operations, which commenced after 2012, have social impacts by increasing the frequency of all seizure news significantly by 28% [95% Confidence Interval (CI): 5%, 51%] and those via whistle-blowing by 24% [95% CI: 2%, 45%], when compared to counterfactual models where possible confounding factors were accounted for. Furthermore, we revealed the potential interaction between enforcement seizure news with and without social engagement, and the consequential social feedback process. Of the species identified from ‘whistle-blowing’ news, up to 28% are considered as high conservation priorities. Overall, we expanded our understanding of the enforcement impacts to social dimensions, which could contribute to improving the cost-effectiveness of such conservation efforts.

Molecular Cloning of Heat Shock Protein 60 (SpHSP60) from Schizothorax prenanti and the Gene Expressions of Four SpHSPs during Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) Infection - Jianlu Zhang; Jiqin Huang; Cheng Fang; Wanchun Li; Hu Zhao; Fei Kong; Han Zhang; Hongxing Zhang; Qijun Wang (Fishes, 2022)
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) play a key role in anti-stress and immune processes and are associated with autoimmune diseases. In order to explore the immunological role of HSPs from Schizothorax prenanti (S. prenanti), SpHSP60 was cloned for the first time in this study, and the gene expressions of SpHSP27, SpHSP60, SpHSP70 and SpHSP90 in the hepatopancreas, head kidney, hindgut and spleen were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) after treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The open reading frame of the SpHSP60 gene (GenBank accession number ON245159) is 1728 bp. It encodes a protein of 575 amino acids. Its C-terminus is a highly conserved and repeated glycine sequence, which is an important cofactor in ATP binding. Compared with the control group, most of the SpHSPs were significantly upregulated in the tissues examined at 12 or 24 h after LPS challenge. The most abundant expression of SpHSP70 was found in the head kidney at 24 h after LPS injection, followed by SpHSP27 in the spleen at 24 h; both of these SpHSPs displayed strong expression under the LPS stresses, about 20–70 fold more than that of SpHSP60 and SpHSP90. The temporal expression patterns of the four SpHSP genes were different in the four tissues examined. Taken together, the results suggest that SpHSP27, SpHSP60, SpHSP70 and SpHSP90 participate in innate immunity stimulated by LPS, and the response intensity of the SpHSPs was organ-specific, indicating they could provide early warning information against bacterial infection. The findings in our study will contribute to better understanding the biological processes and important roles of SpHSPs involved in defending against pathogenic bacterial challenge.

How do justice and top management beliefs matter in industrial symbiosis collaboration: An exploratory study from China - Yang Liu; Peng Cheng; Li Hu (Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2022)
Justice has been widely studied by behavior researchers in recent years. However, it has not received very much attention in industrial symbiosis (IS) network research. This inductive study presents a synthetic conceptual model connecting justice to corporate collaborative actions in the context of IS through top management. Using structural equation modeling to analyze a survey of 209 firms in two eco‐industrial parks in China, we examined inductively the effects of distributive, procedural, and interactional justice on top management, IS collaboration, and environmental performance of firms. Results demonstrate that different aspects of justice have different direct and indirect effects on IS collaboration and environmental performance. Furthermore, we detected that top management beliefs (TMB) affect IS collaboration and influence environmental performance. The mediating effect of IS collaboration between TMB and environmental performance was examined and discussed.

Identification of PDXDC1 as a novel pleiotropic susceptibility locus shared between lumbar spine bone mineral density and birth weight - Yu-Qian Song; Shi-Di Hu; Xu Lin; Xiang-He Meng; Xiao Wang; Yin-Hua Zhang; Cheng Peng; Rui Gong; Tao Xu; Tong Zhang; Chen-Zhong Li; Dao-Yan Pan; et al. (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2022)
An increasing number of epidemiological studies have suggested that birth weight (BW) may be a determinant of bone health later in life, although the underlying genetic mechanism remains unclear. Here, we applied a pleiotropic conditional false discovery rate (cFDR) approach to the genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for lumbar spine bone mineral density (LS BMD) and BW, aiming to identify novel susceptibility variants shared between these two traits. We detected 5 novel potential pleiotropic loci which are located at or near 7 different genes ( NTAN1 , PDXDC1 , CACNA1G , JAG1 , FAT1P1 , CCDC170 , ESR1 ), among which PDXDC1 and FAT1P1 have not previously been linked to these phenotypes. To partially validate the findings, we demonstrated that the expression of PDXDC1 was dramatically reduced in ovariectomized (OVX) mice in comparison with sham-operated (SHAM) mice in both the growth plate and trabecula bone. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry assay with serial sections showed that both osteoclasts and osteoblasts express PDXDC1 , supporting its potential role in bone metabolism. In conclusion, our study provides insights into some shared genetic mechanisms for BMD and BW as well as a novel potential therapeutic target for the prevention of OP in the early stages of the disease development. Key messages We investigated pleiotropy-informed enrichment between LS BMD and BW. We identified genetic variants related to both LS BMD and BW by utilizing a cFDR approach. PDXDC1 is a novel pleiotropic gene which may be related to both LS BMD and BW. Elevated expression of PDXDC1 is related to higher BMD and lower ratio n-6/n-3 PUFA indicating a bone protective effect of PDXDC1.

New insights into Human Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells via Single-Cell Omics - Yawen Zhang; Yaojin Huang; Linping Hu; Tao Cheng (Stem Cell Reviews and Reports, 2022)
Residing at the apex of the hematopoietic hierarchy, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) give rise to all mature blood cells. In the last decade, significant progress has been made in single-cell RNA sequencing as well as multi-omics technologies that have facilitated elucidation of the heterogeneity of previously defined human HSPCs. From the embryonic stage through the adult stage to aging, single-cell studies have enabled us to trace the origins of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), demonstrating different hematopoietic differentiation during development, as well as identifying novel cell populations. In both hematological benign diseases and malignancies, single-cell omics technologies have begun to reveal tissue heterogeneity and have permitted mapping of microenvironmental ecosystems and tracking of cell subclones, thereby greatly broadening our understanding of disease development. Furthermore, advances have also been made in elucidating the molecular mechanisms for relapse and identifying therapeutic targets of hematological disorders and other non-hematological diseases. Extensive exploration of hematopoiesis at the single-cell level may thus have great potential for broad clinical applications of HSPCs, as well as disease prognosis. Graphical abstract

Comprehensive Analysis of Circular RNAs to Decipher the Potential Roles in Blind-Side Hypermelanosis in Chinese Tongue Sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis) - Yuanri Hu; Yangzhen Li; Peng Cheng; Songlin Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Blind-side hypermelanosis is an emerging concern across the flatfish aquaculture industry including Chinese tongue sole ( Cynoglossus semilaevis ). Circular RNAs (circRNAs) as endogenous non-coding RNAs have been acknowledged to play important roles in various biological processes. However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms of circRNAs involved in flatfish blind-side hypermelanosis remain unclear. In this study, to profile the circRNA expression pattern and circRNA-microRNA-messenger RNA (mRNA) network, high-throughput sequencing was performed by using blind-side normal and hypermelanotic skins of tongue sole. A total of 73 differentially expressed circRNAs were identified, and the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was constructed. Furthermore, circRNA host genes and mRNAs involved in ceRNA network were subjected to Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses. Several GO terms and pathways of biological significance were identified and well addressed the generation of blind-side hypermelanosis to some extent. These interesting results extend the understanding of the functional profile of circRNAs and yield valuable insights into the molecular regulatory mechanisms of hypermelanosis in flatfish.

Mesoscale eddies play an important role in ocean energy and material transport. However, the effect of eddies on bacterial and eukaryotic community and their ecological effects remains unclear, regarding anticyclonic eddies (ACE). In this study, bacterial and eukaryotic community composition was examined across an ACE in the South China Sea, using high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA gene. Environmental variables reflected the hydrographic characteristics of the ACE, which enhanced bacterial diversity and eukaryotic diversity in most water layers, relative to adjacent regions. Principal component analysis (PCoA) showed that bacterial and eukaryotic communities had certain different compositions between inside and outside the eddy above 75 m water. An obvious effect of the ACE was the increase in abundance and depth distribution of small photosynthetic and heterotrophic bacteria, such as SAR11, Prochlorococcus , Rhodospirillales and Oceanospirillales. While ACE decreased the relative abundance of nutrient-rich phytoplankton (Bacillariophyta and Mamiellophyceae), resulted in more growth space for other eukaryotes that prefer oligotrophic environment (especially Fungi, Dictyochophyceae, and Synurophyceae). Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) showed temperature, salinity, nitrate, phosphate and nitrite had significantly affected on microbial community. The special environment of ACE (especially temperature) shaped the composition of its specific microbe. This study shed important light on the effect of ACEs on environmental conditions to impact marine ecosystem structure.

A Method for Measuring Hydrodynamic Force Coefficients Applied to an Articulated Concrete Mattress - Hongwei An; Xiaoyuan Hu; Scott Draper; Liang Cheng; Binsar Lubis; Mehrdad Kimiaei (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
A physical model testing method to determine the hydrodynamic force coefficients of an object is proposed and applied to an articulated concrete mattress placed on a flat surface under steady current condition. The test setup, which comprises of a pulley system that is able to pull the concrete mattress in either direction relative to the flow (e.g., with the flow direction or against the flow direction) and one load cell to measure the force required to pull the mattress, is simple and straightforward. Writing the equations of load balance for two different pulling directions allows the force coefficients to be deduced. The novelty and advantages of the method are that it completely removes the difficulties associated with measuring forces on individual concrete blocks and isolating the mattresses from contacting the solid surface, which were common in conventional test methods for measuring hydrodynamic forces on structures founded on a solid surface. A series of flume tests have been conducted to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method. It is expected that the proposed testing method is applicable to a wide range of structures, bed surfaces and flow conditions.

Effects of Gentiopicroside on activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in acute gouty arthritis mice induced by MSU - Menglin He; Cheng Hu; Meijuan Chen; Qian Gao; Liqiu Li; Weiqian Tian (Journal of Natural Medicines, 2022)
Acute gouty arthritis is a self-limiting inflammatory disease resulting from the deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals. It has been shown that Gentiopicroside (GPS) possesses anti-inflammatory and analgesic functions. The aim of this study was to parse out whether GPS has an effect on acute gouty arthritis. We established an acute gouty arthritis model by the injection of MSU into the paw, and found that GPS relieves MSU-induced mechanical, thermal hyperalgesia, and paw swelling. Furthermore, GPS down-regulated the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in paw tissues, including IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18, and TNF-α. The results of H&E staining and MPO activity measurement showed that GPS inhibits neutrophil infiltration. And the over-expressions of NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC), and Caspase-1 induced by MSU were inhibited by treatment with GPS. These results revealed that GPS can treat acute gouty arthritis based on anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties in vivo, which might be ascribed to the inhibition on NLRP3 inflammasome. Furthermore, we performed in vitro study to confirm the results of in vivo study. Consistently, the results proved that GPS could inhibit the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in RAW264.7 macrophages stimulated by LPS-MSU. In conclusion, this study provides an experimental basis for the application of GPS and expands the potential value of GPS in the therapy of acute gouty arthritis.

Response of root development and nutrient uptake of two chinese cultivars of hybrid rice to nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization in Sichuan Province, China - Guotao Yang; Farhan Nabi; Sumbal Sajid; Abdul Rasheed Kaleri; Ali Murad Jakhar; Liang Cheng; Martin Raspor; Noor Muhammad; Jun Ma; Yungao Hu (Molecular Biology Reports, 2021)
Background Chemical fertilization helped modern agriculture in grain yield improvement to ensure food security. The response of chemical fertilization for higher hybrid rice production is highly dependent on optimal fertilization management in paddy fields. To assess such responses, in the current work we examine the yield, root growth, and expression of related genes responsible for stress metabolism of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in two hybrid-rice cultivars Deyou4727 (D47) and Yixiangyou2115 (Y21). Methods and results The experiment followed four nitrogen (N) (N 0 , N 60 , N 120, and N 180 kg/ha) and phosphorus (P) (P 0 , P 60 , P 90 , and P 120 kg/ha) fertilizer levels. The grain yield in D47 was more sensitive to nitrogen application, while Y21 was more sensitive to phosphorus application, which resulted in comparatively higher biomass and yield. Our findings were corroborated by gene expression studies of glutamine synthetase OsGS1;1 and OsGS1;2 and phosphate starvation-related genes PHR1 and SPX , confirming sensitivity to N and P application. The number of roots was less sensitive to nitrogen application in D47 between N 0 and N 60 , but the overall nutrient response difference was significantly higher due to the deep rooting system as compared to Y21. Conclusions The higher yield, high N and P use efficiency, and versatile root growth of D47 make it suitable to reduce unproductive usage of N and P from paddy fields, improving hybrid rice productivity, and environmental safety in the Sichuan basin area of China.

Synchronization Control of Dynamic Positioning Ships Using Model Predictive Control - Cheng Liu; Ting Sun; Qizhi Hu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Underway replenishment is essential for ships performing long-term missions at sea, which can be formulated into the problem of leader-tracking configuration. Not only the position and orientation but also the velocities are required to be controlled for ensuring the synchronization; additionally, the control inputs are constrained. On this basis, in this paper, a novel synchronization controller on account of model predictive control (MPC) for dynamic positioning (DP) ships is devised to achieve underway replenishment. Firstly, a novel synchronization controller based on MPC is devised to ensure the synchronization of not only the position and orientation but the velocities; furthermore, it is a beneficial solution for its advantages in handling the control input constraints ignored in most studies of underway replenishment. Secondly, a neurodynamic optimization system is applied to the implementation of MPC, which can improve the computational efficiency and shorten the simulation time. Thirdly, stability, frequently neglected by traditional MPC, is ensured by the means of adding a terminal cost function exported from the Lyapunov equation into the objective function. Finally, the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed control design are illustrated by extensive simulations.

Co-editing PINK1 and DJ-1 Genes Via Adeno-Associated Virus-Delivered CRISPR/Cas9 System in Adult Monkey Brain Elicits Classical Parkinsonian Phenotype - Hao Li; Shihao Wu; Xia Ma; Xiao Li; Tianlin Cheng; Zhifang Chen; Jing Wu; Longbao Lv; Ling Li; Liqi Xu; Wenchao Wang; Yingzhou Hu; et al. (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
Whether direct manipulation of Parkinson’s disease (PD) risk genes in the adult monkey brain can elicit a Parkinsonian phenotype remains an unsolved issue. Here, we used an adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9)-delivered CRISPR/Cas9 system to directly co-edit PINK1 and DJ-1 genes in the substantia nigras (SNs) of two monkey groups: an old group and a middle-aged group. After the operation, the old group exhibited all the classic PD symptoms, including bradykinesia, tremor, and postural instability, accompanied by key pathological hallmarks of PD, such as severe nigral dopaminergic neuron loss (>64%) and evident α-synuclein pathology in the gene-edited SN. In contrast, the phenotype of their middle-aged counterparts, which also showed clear PD symptoms and pathological hallmarks, were less severe. In addition to the higher final total PD scores and more severe pathological changes, the old group were also more susceptible to gene editing by showing a faster process of PD progression. These results suggested that both genetic and aging factors played important roles in the development of PD in the monkeys. Taken together, this system can effectively develop a large number of genetically-edited PD monkeys in a short time (6–10 months), and thus provides a practical transgenic monkey model for future PD studies.

Horizontal transfer of large plasmid with type IV secretion system and mosquitocidal genomic island with excision and integration capabilities in Lysinibacillus sphaericus - Peiling Geng; Jiao Cheng; Zhiming Yuan; Hairong Xiong; Haiying Wang; Xiaomin Hu (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary We identified a ~30‐kb genomic island (named GI8) carrying the binary toxin gene operon binA/binB on both the chromosome and large pBsph plasmid in the mosquitocidal Lysinibacillus sphaericus C3‐41 strain. We found that GI8 is related to the occurrence of binA/binB within L. sphaericus and displays excision and integration capability by recognizing the attB region, which consists of a 2‐nt target site (AT) flanked by an 11‐nt imperfect inverted repeat. pBsph and two pBsph‐like plasmids (p2362 and p1593) were found to carry a type IV secretion system (T4SS) and displayed transmissibility within a narrow host range specific to L. sphaericus . GI8 can be co‐transferred with pBsph as a composite element by integration into its attB site, then excised from pBsph and re‐integrated into the chromosomal attB site in the new host. The potential hosts of GI8, regardless of whether they are toxic or non‐toxic to mosquito larvae, share good collinearity at the chromosomal level. Data indicated that the appearance of the mosquitocidal L. sphaericus lineage was driven by horizontal transfer of the T4SS‐type conjugative plasmid and GI8 with excision and specific integration capability.

Predicted Mapping of Seabed Sediments Based on MBES Backscatter and Bathymetric Data: A Case Study in Joseph Bonaparte Gulf, Australia, Using Random Forest Decision Tree - Wei Xu; Heqin Cheng; Shuwei Zheng; Hao Hu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Predictive mapping of seabed sediments based on multibeam bathymetric (BM), and backscatter (BS) data is effective for mapping the spatial distribution of the substrate. A robust modeling technique, the random forest decision tree (RFDT), was used to predict the seabed sediments in an area of the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf, Northern Australia, using the multibeam data and seabed sediment samples collected simultaneously. The results showed that: (1) Using multibeam bathymetry data in addition to multibeam backscatter data improves the prediction performance of the RFDT. In comparison to only multibeam backscatter data, the prediction performance achieved a ~10% improvement in sediment properties; it achieved a ~44.45% improvement of overall accuracy in sediment types, and a ~0.55 improvement in Kappa. (2) The underlying relationships between sediment properties and multibeam data show that there is an opposite non-linear correlation between sediment property-BS and sediment property-BM. For example, there is an obvious negative relationship between %mud-BS at incidence angles of 13° and 21°, but the relationship between %mud-BM is positive. As such, the RFDT is a useful and well-performing method in predicting the relationship between sediment properties and multibeam data and in predicting the distribution of sediment properties and types. However, the sediment prediction method in deep-water areas with high gravel content needs to be further evaluated.

Lytic regulated cell death in aquaculture fish - Xiaojing Xia; Bin He; Xiulin Zhang; Zhe Cheng; Mingcheng Liu; Xiaobing Wei; Jinqing Jiang; Jianhe Hu (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2021)
Cell death is an important physiological and pathological phenomenon in multicellular animals and occurs widely in various body’s systems. In recent years, researchers have gained a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of necrosis and apoptosis in mammals. In addition, many new forms of lytic regulated cell death (RCD), such as pyroptosis, necroptosis and ferroptosis, have been discovered, thus enhancing our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of programmed cell death (PCD) and the associated signalling pathways as well as their relationship with diseases. However, our understanding of lytic RCD in fish is limited. Recently, some progress has been made regarding the induction conditions, expression of related genes and regulation of lytic RCD in fish. Furthermore, research on the roles of lytic RCD in tissue development, against pathogenic microorganism, inflammatory disease and neurological disease, has also been advanced. Understanding lytic RCD in fish will enable the regulation of its occurrence through human intervention to inhibit disease processes, improve fish health and explore possible countermeasures based on these basic theoretical studies.

Research Trends of Development on Pearl Bivalve Mollusks Based on a Bibliometric Network Analysis in the Past 25 Years - Qichao Cheng; Wanqing Hu; Zhiyi Bai (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Freshwater pearl mussels and marine pearl oysters are major producers of cultured pearls. With the development of pearl farming, pearl bivalve mollusks have attracted significant research attention over the past 25 years. To provide an overview of this research, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of publications from the Web of Science Core Collection database from 1995 to 2020. A network map generated by VOSviewer software was used to evaluate studies of pearl bivalve mollusks in terms of author, country, organization, journal, and keywords. A total of 2,288 publications were obtained, showing an annual increase in the number of papers. Researchers based in China were a major contributor to the field and there was active cooperation among authors. Research focused on mussel and oyster developmental biology, growth, culture mode, molecular biology, and ecological conservation. In recent years, hot topics, such as growth performance and traits, pearl formation and biomineralization, and immune response, have been widely discussed. Genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabonomics analyses were commonly used to analyze the regulatory mechanism of coding and non-coding genes. The interaction between the environment and farming activities showed the importance of sustainable development. Interdisciplinary research could solve some of the issues facing the pearl bivalve mollusk farming. In conclusion, our findings could serve as another way to understand research trends in pearl bivalve mollusks and contribute to future studies.

Predicting the Deflection of Square Plates Subjected to Fully Confined Blast Loading - Cheng Zheng; Yiwen Wang; Xiangshao Kong; Hu Zhou; Haibao Liu; Weiguo Wu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
The main objective of this study is to conveniently and rapidly develop a new dimensionless number to characterize and predict the deflection of square plates subjected to fully confined blast loading. Firstly, based on the Kirchhoff–Love theory and dimension analysis, a set of dimensionless parameters was obtained from the governing equation representing the response of a thin plate subjected to impact load. A new dimensionless number with a definite physical meaning was then proposed based on dimensional analysis, in which the influence of bending, torsion moment and membrane forces on the dynamic response of the blast-loaded plate were considered along with the related parameters of the blast' energy, the yield strength of the material, the plate thickness and dimensions of the confined space. By analyzing the experimental data of plates subjected to confined blast loading, an approximately linear relationship between the midpoint deflection–thickness ratio of the target plate and the new dimensionless number was derived. On this basis, an empirical formula to predict the deflection of square plates subjected to fully confined blast loading was subsequently regressed, and its calculated results agree well with the experimental data. Furthermore, numerical simulations of square plates subjected to blast loading in a cuboid chamber with different lengths were performed. The numerical results were compared with the calculated data to verify the applicability of the present empirical formula in different scenarios of blast loading from explosions in a cuboid space. It is indicated that the new dimensionless number and corresponding empirical formula presented in this paper have good applicability and reliability for the deflection prediction of plates subjected to fully confined explosions in a cuboid chamber with different lengths, especially when the plates experience a large deflection–thickness ratio.
