Application of an improved multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis approach for estimation of the complexity of daily precipitation - Liangliang Zhang; Heng Li; Dong Liu; Qiang Fu; Mo Li; Muhammad Abrar Faiz; Shoaib Ali; Muhammad Imran Khan; Tianxiao Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
Affected by climate change and high‐intensity human activities, the precipitation series is characterized by nonlinear complex fluctuations. In order to accurately quantify the precipitation complexity, the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) method was introduced to address the shortcomings of the traditional multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA), and the CEEMDAN‐MFFA method was proposed to explore the spatiotemporal variability and possible causes of precipitation complexity in Northeast China (NEC). The results showed that the traditional MFDFA method generally overestimated precipitation complexity. However, the CEEMDAN‐MFFA method improved the accuracy and reliability of precipitation complexity analysis. Daily precipitation series in NEC were characterized by multifractal with high uncertainty and anti‐persistence. The lowest precipitation complexity was 0.573, which appeared in Qian'an, Jilin Province, and the highest precipitation complexity was 1.108, which appeared in the Boketu, Inner Mongolia. The cities with high complexity of daily precipitation are sporadically distributed in the three provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning. The average complexity is ~0.892, accounting for 22.5% of the total administrative districts. The complexity of daily precipitation showed a statistically insignificant downward trend with time. The precipitation dynamics structure in the southeast and northwest of the study area was complex, and the precipitation was less predictable than other regions. However, the precipitation dynamics structure was relatively simple and the precipitation was easily predictable in the northeastern, central and southwestern regions. Elevation, topographic relief, changes in water area, forest area and agricultural production were the main influencing factors for the differences in precipitation complexity. Results also revealed that increasing the area of forestland by means of protecting and breeding forests, via regulation of the forest ecosystems to alleviate the complex precipitation process will become a reliable approach to cope with nonstationary precipitation.

Can sulphur improve the nutrient uptake, partitioning, and seed yield of sesame? - Muhammad Zeeshan Mehmood; Obaid Afzal; Mukhtar Ahmed; Ghulam Qadir; Ahmed M.S. Kheir; Muhammad Aqeel Aslam; Atta Mohi Ud Din; Imran Khan; Muhammad Jawad Hassan; Tehseen Ahmad Meraj; Muhammad Ali Raza; Shakeel Ahmad (Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2021)
Sulphur (S) is considered to improve the nutrient uptake of plants due to its synergistic relationship with other nutrients. This could ultimately enhance the seed yield of oilseed crops. However, there is limited quantitative information on nutrient uptake, distribution, and its associated impacts on seed yield of sesame under the S application. Thus, a two-year field study (2018 and 2019) was conducted to assess the impacts of different S treatments (S 0 = Control, S 20 = 20, S 40 = 40, and S 60 = 60 kg ha −1 ) on total dry matter production, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, S uptake and distribution at the mid-bloom stage and physiological maturity. Furthermore, treatment impacts were studied on the number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule, thousand seed weight, and seed yield at physiological maturity in sesame. Compared to S 0 , over the years, treatment S 40 significantly increased the total uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and S (by 13, 22, 11% and 16%, respectively) at physiological maturity, while their distribution by 13, 36, 14, and 24% (in leaves), 12, 15, 11, and 15% (in stems), 15, 42, 18, and 10% (in capsules), and 14, 22, 9, and 15% (in seeds), respectively. Enhanced nutrient uptake and distribution in treatment S 40 improved the total biomass accumulation (by 28%) and distribution in leaves (by 34%), stems (by 27%), capsules (by 26%), and seeds (by 28%), at physiological maturity, as compared to S 0 . Treatment S 40 increased the number of capsules per plant (by 13%), number of seeds per capsule (by 11%), and thousand seed weight (by 6%), compared to S 0 . Furthermore, over the years, relative to control, sesame under S 40 had a higher seed yield by 28% and enhanced the net economic returns by 44%. Thus, our results suggest that optimum S level at the time of sowing improves the nutrient uptake and distribution during the plant lifecycle, which ultimately enhances total dry matter accumulation, seed yield, and net productivity of sesame.

Introduction Natural products derived from medicinal plants provide beneficial cancer chemotherapeutic drugs. Bioactive constituents from plants are explored for their anticancer properties. Methods Three known compounds (deacetylbaccatin III, tasumatrol B, and taxawallin J) were isolated from Taxus wallichiana . Compounds were screened against four cancer cell lines, such as eA498, HepG2, NCI-H226, and MDR 2780AD. Cytotoxic activity was evaluated using MTT assay against cancer cell lines. Results Tasumatrol B showed good cytotoxic activity conducted for the improvement of inhibiting potential of these compounds against the cancer drug target protein (EGFR tyrosine kinase enzyme). The docking study showed that all compounds have binding affinities and interaction profile with the receptor tyrosine kinase. Discussion The study suggests that these compounds could be used for the discovery of novel inhibitors against the target receptors for the treatment of cancer.

Concept Design of the Underwater Manned Seabed Walking Robot - Asghar Khan; Wang Liquan; Wang Gang; Muhammad Imran; Hafiz Muhammad Waqas; Asad A. Zaidi (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019)
In this paper, a novel concept designed of a multi-legged underwater manned seabed walking robot is presented. The robot will be used in both shallow water current (1–2 m/sec) and deep water up to 500 m. It is powered by an external electric power source through tether cable. It walks on the seabed with six legs, which makes it distinct from conventional screw-propelled underwater robots. It can walk calmly without making the water turbid. Two anterior arms act as manipulators. All leg joints and manipulators are controlled by Brushless Direct Current Motors. Motivation for this concept comes from soldier crab that walk mostly forward and has an egg-shaped body. It is operated by a pilot sitting in a pressurized cabin, and promptly control operations of the robot and manipulator. Preliminary design of the pressurized cabin, using an empirical formula, “ASME PVHO-1 2007” standard, and validation was carried out through ANSYS Workbench. Hydrodynamic forces acting on the robot body and legs are utilized to withstand the water current and external forces to adjust legs and body posture for stability. Buoyancy rules are employed to control its rising and diving motion. All key technologies employed in the development of the robot and their approaching methods are explained. It will provide a safe operation space for humans in underwater operations.
