Environmental Factors Influence the Seed Phenotypic Variation of Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn. and Sapindus delavayi (Franch.) Radlk. in China - Mianzhi Wang; Jiming Liu; Yulin Zheng; Caowen Sun; Xin Wang; Yuanyuan Xu; Lixian Wang; Guochun Zhao; Xuehuang Weng; Liming Jia; Kezhai Sheng; Changsheng Wei; et al. (Forest Science, 2022)
The phenotypes of Sapindus are significantly influenced by environmental factors, but the responses of oil-related seed phenotypes to environmental factors are still unclear. We sampled 115 seed accessions of Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn. and 33 of Sapindus delavayi (Franch.) Radlk. from fifty-six distinct locations in China to explore the effects of environmental factors on the seed phenotypes. Pearson’s correlation analysis showed that 100-seed kernel weight (SKW), 100-seed shell weight (SSW), and seed kernel content (SKC) were the phenotypes most sensitive to the environmental influence (significantly associated with at least ten environmental factors). Redundancy analysis explained 26.13% of the variance and revealed that longitude was negatively correlated with SKW and SKC but was positively correlated with SSW, whereas elevation had the opposite effect. Monthly sunshine hours was negatively correlated with 100-seed weight and SSW. Additionally, the Mantel test showed that the seed phenotypic variations in Sapindus mukorossi and Sapindus delavayi were significantly affected by environmental factors differently. SKW and SKC of Sapindus delavayi were more sensitive to the influence of key environmental factors and therefore had more potential for oil development. It is recommended to cultivate Sapindus delavayi at lower longitudes to facilitate seed kernel development and promote oil yield.

Microbially enhanced methane uptake under warming enlarges ecosystem carbon sink in a Tibetan alpine grassland - Qi Qi; Jianshu Zhao; Renmao Tian; Yufei Zeng; Changyi Xie; Qun Gao; Tianjiao Dai; Hao Wang; Jin‐Sheng He; Konstantinos T. Konstantinidis; Yunfeng Yang; Jizhong Zhou; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2022)
The alpine grasslands of the Tibetan Plateau store 23.2 Pg soil organic carbon, which becomes susceptible to microbial degradation with climate warming. However, accurate prediction of how the soil carbon stock changes under future climate warming is hampered by our limited understanding of belowground complex microbial communities. Here, we show that 4 years of warming strongly stimulated methane (CH 4 ) uptake by 93.8% and aerobic respiration (CO 2 ) by 11.3% in the soils of alpine grassland ecosystem. Due to no significant effects of warming on net ecosystem CO 2 exchange (NEE), the warming‐stimulated CH 4 uptake enlarged the carbon sink capacity of whole ecosystem. Furthermore, precipitation alternation did not alter such warming effects, despite the significant effects of precipitation on NEE and soil CH 4 fluxes were observed. Metagenomic sequencing revealed that warming led to significant shifts in the overall microbial community structure and the abundances of functional genes, which contrasted to no detectable changes after 2 years of warming. Carbohydrate utilization genes were significantly increased by warming, corresponding with significant increases in soil aerobic respiration. Increased methanotrophic genes and decreased methanogenic genes were observed under warming, which significantly ( R 2 = .59, p 4 uptakes. Furthermore, 212 metagenome‐assembled genomes were recovered, including many populations involved in the degradation of various organic matter and a highly abundant methylotrophic population of the Methyloceanibacter genus. Collectively, our results provide compelling evidence that specific microbial functional traits for CH 4 and CO 2 cycling processes respond to climate warming with differential effects on soil greenhouse gas emissions. Alpine grasslands may play huge roles in mitigating climate warming through such microbially enhanced CH 4 uptake.

RNA-Seq Reveals the Effect of Ethylene on the Volatile Organic Components (VOCs) of Cavendish Banana at Different Post-harvesting Stages - Tongxin Dou; Chunhua Hu; Shujing Zhao; Huijun Gao; Weidi He; Guiming Deng; Ou Sheng; Fangcheng Bi; Qiaosong Yang; Chunyu Li; Ganjun Yi; Tao Dong (Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 2022)
Aroma serves as one of the decisive factors influencing the value of banana commodities. Most of characteristic volatile organic components (VOCs) are formed during post-harvesting. However, the changing of VOCs of banana at different post-harvesting stages remain ambiguous. In this study, the VOCs of Cavendish banana for the four typical post-harvesting stages (green stage/half of yellow stage/yellow ripening stage/over ripening stage) are clarified using headspace solid phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME), combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The results inferred that the relative content of branched-chain esters such as acetate and butyrate, which form the main contributors of aroma in bananas, is higher in the T2 and T3 stages. Further, RNA-Seq technology was employed to clarify the formation mechanism of banana aroma in the post-harvesting stage. The MaTGL4 gene of the linoleic acid metabolism pathway and the MaBCAT3 and MaBCAT5 genes of the valine, leucine and isoleucine degradation pathway in banana suggest the expression is active late in the ripening stage, and the upregulated expression of these genes is analogous to the formation of aroma components such as branched-chain esters and hexenal. The above results not only provide baseline data on the differences in physical and chemical properties of VOCs in various post-harvesting stages of banana production, but also provide theoretical guidance facilitating the subsequent improvement of the commercial value of bananas through genetic improvement.

Predictive Control for a Wave-Energy Converter Array Based on an Interconnected Model - Bo Zhang; Haixu Zhang; Sheng Yang; Shiyu Chen; Xiaoshan Bai; Awais Khan (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
This paper proposes a model predictive control (MPC) method based on an interconnected model to maximize the ocean wave energy extracted by a wave-energy converter (WEC) array. In the proposed method, a formally uniform interconnected model is applied to represent the dynamics of an array consisting of an arbitrary quantity of WECs, simultaneously considering the hydrodynamic interaction among all the WEC devices. First, the WEC devices and their hydrodynamic interaction are represented in an interconnected model that describes the networked dynamics of a variety of WEC arrays with distinct spatial geometry layout of the WEC devices deployed in the sea field. Second, based on the presented model, an MPC method is applied to achieve the coordinated control of the WEC array to improve its energy conversion efficiency under the constraints of buoy position and control force. Third, a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platform is developed to simulate the WEC array’s physical operating conditions, and the proposed method is implemented on the platform to test its performance. The test results show that the proposed MPC method using the interconnected model has a higher energy harvesting efficiency than the classic MPC method.

Metabolism-related MOGS Gene is Dysregulated After Peripheral Nerve Injury and Negatively Regulates Schwann Cell Plasticity - Yunsong Zhang; Miao Yang; Yinying Shen; Sheng Yi; Xinghui Wang (Journal of Molecular Neuroscience, 2022)
Cellular metabolism is essentially linked to tissue remodeling and organ regeneration. MOGS , a gene that encodes cellular metabolism-related protein mannosyl-oligosaccharide glucosidase, was found to be upregulated in nerve segments after peripheral nerve injury. Bioinformatic analyses identified upstream regulators of MOGS and MOGS-associated genes and indicated the significant involvement of cellular metabolism in peripheral nerve regeneration. Functional assessment showed that siRNA-mediated knockdown of MOGS led to elevated proliferation, migration, and differentiation of Schwann cells, indicating the negative regulation of MOGS on Schwann cell plasticity. Schwann cells transfected with MOGS siRNA also showed lower expression of fatty acid synthase (FASN), demonstrating that dysregulated MOGS in Schwann cells may affect neuronal behavior through the metabolic coupling between Schwann cells and axons. Taken together, this study demonstrated that MOGS may be a key regulating factor of Schwann cells and neuronal phenotype during peripheral nerve regeneration.

Research on the Depth Control Strategy of an Underwater Profiler Driven by a Mixture of Ocean Thermal Energy and Electric Energy - Qingchao Xia; Bingzhe Chen; Xiaotong Sun; Canjun Yang; Sheng Zhang; Yanhu Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Marine resources are rich and contain an enormous amount of energy. The exploration of marine resources and the effective use of ocean energy have gradually become the research focus of scholars all over the world. A profiler driven by ocean thermal energy can monitor the vertical profile of the surrounding sea area for a long time. To realize the levitation at a fixed water depth on the premise of saving energy, in this paper, a new buoyancy regulation system driven by the mixture of ocean thermal energy and electric energy is designed, and a new depth control strategy for the hybrid drive is proposed. Compared with the traditional profiler, the new profiler, in which the main energy required for buoyancy regulation is provided by ocean thermal energy, can reduce electrical energy consumption. Simulations of SMC (sliding mode control) and conventional PID control were conducted, and the results showed that the SMC method has advantages in terms of response speed, overshoot, and energy saving. A lake test was conducted and the results showed that the new control method can make the equipment reach the fixed water depth position; however, due to the complex water flow environment, the precision and stability of the controller need to be improved in the future.

Effect of CO2 Phase on Pore Geometry of Saline Reservoir Rock - Ameh Peter; Xiaoqiang Jin; Xianfeng Fan; Kenneth Imo-Imo Eshiet; Yong Sheng; Dongmin Yang (Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2022)
The phase of CO 2 present in a saline reservoir influences the change of the pore geometry properties of reservoir rocks and consequently the transport and storage integrity of the reservoir. In this study, digital rock physics was used to evaluate pore geometry properties of rocks saturated with the different phaseCO 2 -brine under reservoir conditions. The changes in the pore geometry properties due to the different phaseCO 2 -brine-rock interaction were quantified. In addition to compression, CO 2 -brine-rock interaction caused a further reduction in porosity by precipitation. Compared to the dry sample, the porosity of the gaseous CO 2 -br sample was reduced the most, and was lower by 15% after saturation and compression. There was reduction in the pre-compression porosity after compression for all the samples, however, the reduction was highest in the gaseous CO 2 -br-saturated sample (13%). The flatness of pore surfaces was reduced, and pores became less rounded after compression, especially in supercritical CO 2 -br-saturated rock. The results from this research provide a valuable input to guide a robust simulation of CO 2 storage in reservoir rocks where different phases of CO 2 could be present.

Zkscan3 affects erythroblast development by regulating the transcriptional activity of GATA1 and KLF1 in mice - Zixuan Li; Binjie Sheng; Tingting Zhang; Tian Wang; Dan Chen; Gangli An; Xingbing Wang; Huimin Meng; Lin Yang (Journal of Molecular Histology, 2022)
ZKSCAN3 encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor that regulates the expression of important genes and plays a significant role in tumor development, pathogenesis, and metastasis. However, its biological functions under normal physiological conditions remain largely unknown. In our previous studies, using flow cytometry, we found that the deletion of Zkscan3 may cause abnormal erythropoiesis. In this study, we found that, in a Zkscan3 knockout mice model, the number of splenic early-stage (basophilic-erythroblasts) and late-stage (chromatophilic-erythroblasts to polychromatophilic-erythroblasts through orthochromatophilic-erythroblasts) erythroblasts increased, whereas the number of late erythroblasts in the bone marrow decreased. Moreover, the phenotype was exacerbated after treating mice with phenylhydrazine (PHZ), which causes severe hemolytic anemia. In the knockout mice treated with PHZ, the percentage of reticulocyte in the peripheral blood conspicuously increased, whereas MCHC and red blood cells decreased. Then, we performed RNA-seq and quantitative-polymerase chain reaction assay and found that the expression of GATA1 and Tiam1 in erythroblasts were upregulated, whereas KLF1 was downregulated. Luciferase assays showed that Zkscan3 inhibited the transcription of GATA1 and Tiam1 and promoted the expression of KLF1 . Additionally, ChIP and CO-IP results confirmed that Zkscan3 directly interacts with GATA1 and inhibits its transcriptional activity in MEL cells. Our results demonstrate, for the first time, the significant role of Zkscan3 in physiological erythropoiesis through the interaction with GATA1, both at the DNA and protein level, and with Tiam1 and KLF1 at the DNA level.

Aim An important research question in ecology is how climate and the biodiversity of aboveground plants and belowground microbiomes affect ecosystem functions such as nutrient pools. However, little is studied on the concurrent role of above‐ and belowground species composition in shaping the spatial distribution patterns of ecosystem functions across environmental gradients. Here, we investigated the relationships between the taxonomic composition of plants, soil bacteria and soil fungi and spatial turnover in nutrient pools, and assessed how species composition–nutrient pool relationships were mediated by contemporary climatic conditions. Location Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau. Time period Current. Major taxa studied Plants, soil bacteria and soil fungi. Methods We surveyed plant assemblages, sampled the taxonomic composition of soil bacteria and soil fungi, and measured plant‐ and soil‐mediated nutrient pools at 60 alpine grasslands on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau. Using Mantel tests, structural equation models and general linear models, we investigated the relative importance of the taxonomic composition of plant, soil bacterial, and soil fungal communities on the spatial turnover of alpine grassland nutrient pools. Results We found that the taxonomic composition of plant, soil bacterial, and soil fungal communities was associated with local climate. However, the effects of local climate on the spatial turnover of plant‐ and soil‐mediated nutrient pools were mainly indirect and mediated through plant and soil bacterial species composition, but not through soil fungal species composition. We further found that the replacement component of soil bacterial β‐diversity and the richness difference of plant β‐diversity were the direct predictors of nutrient pools in the alpine grasslands. Main conclusions These results highlight that belowground bacterial composition together with aboveground plant species composition are related to spatial turnover in nutrient pools, perhaps even driving it. Conserving above‐ and belowground biodiversity may therefore safeguard against the impacts of local climate on the functions of climate‐sensitive alpine grasslands.

Characterizing Stand and Biomass Tables from Diameter Distribution Models: A Case Study for Mixed-Hardwood Forests in Eastern Tennessee, USA - Sheng-I Yang; Quang V Cao; David T Shoch; Trisha Johnson (Forest Science, 2022)
Accurately assessing forest structure and productivity is critical to making timely management decisions and monitoring plant communities. This study aims to evaluate the prediction accuracy of site-level stand and biomass tables from the diameter distribution models. The efficacy of the single Weibull function and two finite mixture models was compared for six species groups on three mixed-hardwood sites in eastern Tennessee, USA. To evaluate model performance, two types of stand/biomass tables were generated. The first type was constructed from all species on a given site (site-specific), whereas the second type was built for a single species from all sites (species-specific). Results indicate that both types of stand and biomass tables were consistently well quantified by the two-component mixture model in terms of goodness of fit, parsimony, and robustness. The two-component mixture model better characterized the complex, multimodal diameter distributions than the single Weibull model, which underpredicted the upper portion of the distributions. The three-component model tends to overfit the data, which results in lower prediction accuracy. Among the three models examined, the two-Weibull mixture model is suggested to construct site-level stand/biomass tables, which provides more reliable and accurate predictions to assess forest structure and product class.

Study on Slamming Pressure Characteristics of Platform under Freak Wave - Fali Huo; Hongkun Yang; Zhi Yao; Kang An; Sheng Xu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Freak waves have great peak energy, short duration, great contingency, and strong nonlinear characteristics, and can cause severe damage to ships and marine structures. In this study, numerical simulations in conjunction with experimental tests are applied to study air gap response and wave slamming loads of a semi-submersible offshore platform under a freak wave. A three-dimensional wave tank, which is created based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method, is applied to study the hydrodynamic responses of a semi-submersible platform. The numerical model of the tank and offshore platform system are checked according to the experimental results. A typical freak wave is modelled in numerical wave tanks by the linear superposition method, and its significant wave height is 13.03 m. It is found that the freak wave is closely associated with the wave slamming. The appearance of the freak wave gives rise to a negative air, gap which appears on the side of the back wave surface at the bottom of the deck box, and considerable slamming pressure is generated. Furthermore, the wave run up at the junction of the column and the buoyancy tank is also seen due to the freak wave.

Fish eggs of the ovate sole Solea ovata and black porgy Acanthopagrus schlegelii were identified through DNA barcoding of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COX1). Visual taxonomic features were achieved, and photographs of the eggs of both species at different developmental stages were reported for the first time. In addition, the dissolution of oil globules caused by ethanol as egg fixatives was observed. This result showed the importance of using formalin as egg fixatives in the case of morphometric analysis and the necessity of combining molecular and visual taxonomic method for morphological study.

Genomic and transcriptomic insights into the habitat adaptation of the diazotrophic paddy‐field cyanobacterium Nostoc sphaeroides - Zhen Chen; Jin‐Long Shang; Shengwei Hou; Tao Li; Qi Li; Yi‐Wen Yang; Wolfgang R. Hess; Bao‐Sheng Qiu (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Nitrogen‐fixing cyanobacteria are common in paddy fields, one of the most productive wetland ecosystems. Here, we present the complete genome of Nostoc sphaeroides, a paddy‐field diazotroph used for food and medicine for more than 1700 years and deciphered the transcriptional regulation during the developmental transition from hormogonia to vegetative filaments with heterocysts. The genome of N. sphaeroides consists of one circular chromosome (6.48 Mb), one of the largest ever reported megaplasmids (2.34 Mb), and seven plasmids. Multiple gene families involved in the adaption to high solar radiation and water fluctuation conditions were found expanded, while genes involved in anoxic adaptation and phosphonate utilization are located on the megaplasmid, suggesting its indispensable role in environmental adaptation. Distinct gene expression patterns were observed during the light‐intensity‐regulated transition from hormogonia to vegetative filaments, specifically, genes encoding proteins involved in photosynthetic light reaction, carbon fixation, nitrogen metabolism and heterocyst differentiation were significantly upregulated, whereas genes related to cell motility were down‐regulated. Our results provide genomic and transcriptomic insights into the adaptation of a filamentous nitrogen‐fixing cyanobacterium to the highly dynamic paddy‐field habitat, suggesting N. sphaeroides as an excellent system to understand the transition from aquatic to terrestrial habitats and to support sustainable rice production.

miR-23a-3p regulates the inflammatory response and fibrosis in diabetic kidney disease by targeting early growth response 1 - Shuyue Sheng; Meina Zou; Yanlin Yang; Meiping Guan; Shijing Ren; Xiangyu Wang; Ling Wang; Yaoming Xue (In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Animal, 2021)
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has become the most common cause of chronic kidney disease. Proteinuria is generally considered one of the clinical indicators of renal damage, and it is also closely related to the progression of DKD. Accumulating evidence indicates that proteinuria induces an upregulation of the expression levels of inflammatory cytokines and fibrosis markers in renal tubular epithelial cells, but the mechanism remains unclear. Previously, we showed that early growth response 1 (Egr1) played a key role in renal tubular injury. However, the upstream mechanism of Egr1 in the development of DKD is poorly understood. In this study, we found that albumin stimulation significantly increased the expression levels of Egr1, interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and fibronectin (FN) in HK-2 cells but decreased miR-23a-3p levels. We then identified that miR-23a-3p targeted the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of Egr1 and directly suppressed the expression of Egr1. Moreover, we found that overexpression and inhibition of miR-23a-3p in HK-2 cells attenuated and promoted the expression of IL-6, TNF-α, and FN, respectively. Additionally, Egr1 silencing reversed the inflammation and fibrosis caused by the miR-23a-3p inhibitor. Thus, we conclude that miR-23a-3p attenuates the development of DKD through Egr1, suggesting that targeting miR-23a-3p may be a novel therapeutic approach for DKD.

Mechanical properties of lightweight foam concrete filler for roadbed of high-speed railway - De-Gou Cai; Shao-Wei Wei; Yang-Sheng Ye; Qian-Li Zhang; Zhong-Guo Li; Si Li (Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2021)
A high-speed railway has high requirements for line smoothness, and uneven settlement control is the primary factor considered in the design and operation of the subgrade. The emergence of lightweight subgrade structures meets the needs of the development of the high-speed railway. As a kind of filling material with good performance, lightweight foam concrete can effectively reduce the load and excessive settlement of subgrade and effectively reduce the cost of foundation treatment. This paper studied the dynamic characteristics of lightweight foam concrete with different wet densities and water-bearing states under train loading. The effects of wet density and fly ash content on the compressibility, impermeability, and frost resistance of lightweight foam concrete were analyzed in detail. The results show that the lightweight foam concrete still has high residual strength after compression, which is about 60% of its peak strength. Under different mix ratios, the critical dynamic stress of the lightweight foam concrete is generally 0.2–0.3 times the unconfined compressive strength, and the dynamic elastic modulus increases with the increase of wet density and cyclic stress amplitude. With the fly ash content increasing, the volume water absorption of lightweight foam concrete decreases first and then increases, and the critical value of fly ash content is 40%. The frost resistance of lightweight foam concrete gradually increases with the increase of wet density, and the dynamic elastic modulus of the sample with 279 kg·m −3 density lost 41.1% after 20 freeze–thaw cycles. When the content of fly ash is 20%, the frost resistance of lightweight foam concrete is equivalent to that of pure cement.

Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Lipid Droplet Breakdown in the Liver of Chinese Soft-Shelled Turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) - Yufei Huang; Sheng Yang; Xuebing Bai; Yonghong Shi; Qiusheng Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The Chinese soft-shelled turtle ( Pelodiscus sinensis ) is among the most primitive amphibians and reptiles in nature. On account of its environmental suitability and unique hibernation habit, the peculiar physiological phenomenon in P. sinensis attracted the attention of researchers in the field of marine science. The present study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the periodic variation of lipid droplet (LD) in the liver of P. sinensis . Histological results indicated that accumulated LD in the liver of P. sinensis during non-hibernation was gradually consumed during hibernation. RNA-Seq results revealed that genes responsible for carbohydrate catabolism were down-regulated during hibernation, while genes involved in lipid oxidation were up-regulated. These results suggest that energy metabolism in the liver of P. sinensis changes during hibernation, i.e., the energy generation mode shifted from carbohydrate catabolism to lipid oxidation. Further analysis of RNA-Seq results indicated that both lipolysis and autophagy could promote the degradation of hepatic LD during hibernation. To further determine the relationship between lipolysis and autophagy in the process of LD breakdown, we applied the inhibitors of lipolysis and autophagy (diethylumbelliferyl phosphate and 3-Methyladenine) in cultured primary hepatocytes of P. sinensis . The results indicated that lipolysis is the main way for LD degradation in the hepatocyte of P. sinensis . These data provide clear evidence about the seasonal changes in hepatocytes, corresponding with the different energy generation mode in the liver of P. sinensis .

Visible Fidelity Collector of a Zooplankton Sample from the Near-Bottom of the Deep Sea - Jing Xiao; Jiawang Chen; Zhenwei Tian; Hai Zhu; Chunsheng Wang; Junyi Yang; Qinghua Sheng; Dahai Zhang; Jiasong Fang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
The multi-net visible fidelity zooplankton collector is designed to obtain near-bottom fidelity zooplankton. The collector is sent to the designated sampling location based on the information provided by the camera and altimeter. The host computer sends instructions to control the opening of the net port for sample collection and closing of the sampling cylinder cover after sampling. The collector contains three trawls so that three samples can be collected for each test, and environmental parameters can be collected simultaneously. After sampling, The sample maintains its fidelity, that is, maintaining the temperature and pressure of the seabed sample after sampling. Two experiments were carried out in the Western Pacific, and six bottles of zooplankton samples were successfully obtained. The development of a multi-net visible zooplankton collector is of great significance for the collection of near-bottom zooplankton.

Spatial Analysis of the Fishing Behaviour of Tuna Purse Seiners in the Western and Central Pacific Based on Vessel Trajectory Data - Han Zhang; Sheng-Long Yang; Wei Fan; Hui-Min Shi; San-Ling Yuan (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
The Western and Central Pacific Oceans are the primary operational areas of tuna purse seiners worldwide. Describing and analysing the fishing behaviour of vessels is highly significant for the protection of sustainable tuna resources. This study uses Automatic Identification System (AIS) data of 130 tuna purse seiners from July 2017 to May 2018 and uses data mining methods to identify the operating status of tuna purse seiners; describes the spatial characteristics of fishing intensity and the distribution of hot spots; and analyses vessel spatial characteristics to describe their fishing behaviour. The results show that the tuna purse seiner speed has a marked bimodal distribution, which corresponds to high-speed transiting and low-speed seine operation. Additionally, from July to September 2017, the amount of fishing effort invested by tuna purse seiners was lower than that in other months. The tuna purse seiner activity range includes 120° E–60° W, 30° S–30° N, and the activities for fish and seine operations are primarily concentrated at 140° E–150° W, 15° S–15° N. There are differences between the space for fishing search operations and space where fishing events took place in each month. Spatial analysis shows that the high-speed transiting fishing effort map covers a large area, while seine fishing covers a small area. The global spatial autocorrelation analysis shows that the fishing effort devoted to searching for fish stocks has a spatial distribution pattern of aggregation and close aggregation. The results of a hot-spot analysis show that the hot spots on a heat map for finding fish, which are closely spatially clustered, correspond to vessels searching for fish concentration areas and seine operation areas. Correlation testing shows that under a 5° × 5° grid, there is a high positive correlation between the fishing effort invested in finding fish stocks and the yield data, nets (r > 0.8), and a moderate correlation with catch per unit of effort(CPUE) (r > 0.3). Based on vessel behaviour, the location of the fish school can be directly determined, and the distribution of fish clusters and fishing grounds can be predicted. This study can aid in managing tuna purse seiners in the Western and Central Pacific Oceans and analysing changes in fishery resources.

Effects of blocking mGluR5 on primate dorsolateral prefrontal cortical neuronal firing and working memory performance - Sheng-Tao Yang; Min Wang; Veronica Galvin; Yang Yang; Amy F. T. Arnsten (Psychopharmacology, 2021)
Rationale Metabotropic glutamate type 5 receptor (mGluR5) antagonists are under development for treating cognitive disorders such as Fragile X syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease, largely based on success in mouse models, where post-synaptic mGluR5 stimulation weakens synaptic functions in hippocampus. However, human trials of mGluR5 antagonists have yet to be successful. This may be due in part to the differing effects of mGluR5 in hippocampus vs. prefrontal cortex, as mGluR5 are primarily post-synaptic in rodent hippocampus, but are both pre- and post-synaptic in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortical (dlPFC) circuits known to subserve working memory. Objectives and methods The current study examined the effects of the selective mGluR5 negative allosteric modulator, MTEP (3-((2-Methyl-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)ethynyl)pyridine hydrochloride), on neuronal firing and working memory performance in aging rhesus monkeys with naturally occurring impairments in neuronal firing and cognitive performance. Results We found that iontophoresis of MTEP directly onto dlPFC “Delay cells” had an inverted U dose-response, where low doses tended to enhance task-related firing, but higher doses suppressed neuronal firing. Similar effects were seen on cognitive performance following systemic MTEP administration (0.0001–0.1 mg/kg), with MTEP producing erratic dose-response curves. In the subset of monkeys (50%) that showed replicable improvement with MTEP, co-administration with the mGluR5 PAM, CDPPB (3-Cyano- N -(1,3-diphenyl-1 H -pyrazol-5-yl)benzamide), blocked MTEP beneficial effects, consistent with mGluR5 actions. Conclusions The mixed effects of MTEP on cognitive performance may arise from opposing actions at pre- vs. post-synaptic mGluR5 in dlPFC. These data from monkeys suggest that future clinical trials should include low doses, and identification of potential subgroup responders.
