Numerical Study of the Influence of Fishnet Mesh Size on a Floating Platform - Hung-Jie Tang; Chai-Cheng Huang; Ray-Yeng Yang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
This study aims to investigate the influence of fishnet mesh size on a floating platform. A self-developed, time-domain numerical model was used for the evaluation. This model is based on potential flow theory, uses the boundary element method (BEM) to solve nonlinear wave-body interactions, and applies the Morison equation to calculate the hydrodynamic forces exerted on fishnets. The mooring system is treated as a linear and symmetric spring. The results near the resonant frequency of the platform indicate that the smaller the fishnet mesh size, the lower the heave, pitch, and sea-side tension response amplitude operators (RAOs), but the higher the reflection coefficient. The results in the lower frequency region reveal that the smaller the fishnet mesh size, the lower the surge and heave RAOs, but the higher the pitch and tension RAOs. Meanwhile, the time-domain results at the resonant frequency of heave motion are shown to indicate the influences of a platform with various fishnets mesh sizes on the rigid body motion, mooring line tension, and transmitted wave heights. In addition, a comparison of nonlinear effects indicates that, after reducing the fishnet mesh size, the second-order RAOs of heave, pitch, and sea-side tension decrease, but the changes are minor against the first-order results.

Abdominal paracentesis drainage attenuates severe acute pancreatitis by enhancing cell apoptosis via PI3K/AKT signaling pathway - Chen Luo; Qilin Huang; Xiaohui Yuan; Yi Yang; Bing Wang; Zhu Huang; Lijun Tang; Hongyu Sun (Apoptosis, 2020)
Our previous studies have shown that abdominal paracentesis drainage (APD) is a safe and effective strategy for patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). However, the underlying mechanisms behind APD treatment remain poorly understood. Given that apoptosis is a critical pathological response of SAP, we here aim to investigate the effect of APD on cell apoptosis in pancreatic tissues during SAP and to explore its potential molecular mechanism. SAP was induced by 5% sodium-taurocholate retrograde while APD group was inserted a drainage tube into the right lower abdomen of rats immediately after SAP induction. Histopathological staining, serum amylase, endotoxin and inflammatory mediators were measured. Cell apoptosis, apoptosis-related proteins and signaling pathway were also evaluated. Our results demonstrated that APD treatment significantly attenuated pancreatic damage and decreased the serum levels of amylase, endotoxin, TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6 in rats with SAP. Notably, APD treatment enhanced cell apoptosis and reduced necrosis in pancreatic tissues, as evidenced by Tunnel staining, the increased pro-apoptosis proteins (Cleaved-caspase-3 and bax) and decreased anti-apoptosis protein (Bcl-2). Moreover, the effect of APD on cell apoptosis was further confirmed by the regulatory pathway of PI3K/AKT and NF-kB signaling pathway. These results suggest that APD attenuates the severity of SAP by enhancing cell apoptosis via suppressing PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Our findings provide new insights for understanding the effectiveness of APD in patients with SAP.

Palynological record of the Cretaceous ZKD14 core (Songliao Basin, Northeast China) and its paleoclimatic significance - Zenglian Xu; Jun Yang; Chao Tang; Jialin Wei; Hui Zeng (Island Arc, 2020)
To better understand the vegetation and possible paleoclimate change, we recovered a palynological record obtained from the ZKD14 core covering from the Sifangtai and Mingshui Formations in the northern Songliao Basin, northeastern China. Based on the abundance and variations in determined palynomorphs, two palynological assemblages can be distinguished, including Schizaeoisporites –bisaccate– Tricolporopollenites and Taxodiaceaepollenites –bisaccate– Tricolporopollenites . These palynological assemblages are assigned to the late Campanian–Maastrichtian stage based on the geological range of some important elements and the correlation with relevant assemblages of other areas. In this paper, we applied a sporopollen–climate transforming methodology, which uses the percentage of xerophytic and thermophilic taxa to indicate stratigraphic trends of humidity and temperature, respectively. Then two vegetation and paleoclimate phases were reconstructed based on the ecological habits of the parent plant, as well as the abundance variation in xerophytic and thermophilic taxa: (i) The vegetation type was interpreted to reflect a mixed conifer forest with varying pteridophytes landscape, presenting a hot and arid subtropic climate during the Sifangtai to lower part of member 2 of the Mingshui Formations. (ii) The vegetation type was characterized by a conifer‐dominant landscape. Accordingly, the climate turned more humid and colder during the upper part of member 2 of the Mingshui Formation. The global cooling event (Campanian–Maastrichtian Boundary Event: CMBE) which occurred between 72.0–70.0 Ma appears to have an important influence on the climatic condition of Songliao Basin.

Long‐term variation in the abundance of Pacific herring ( Clupea pallasii ) from the Yellow Sea in the western North Pacific and its relation to climate over the past 590 years - Haoyu Li; Shu Yang; Qisheng Tang; Xin Zhou; Yao Sun (Fisheries Oceanography, 2020)
A qualitative understanding of the long‐term variation in the population dynamics of Yellow Sea (YS) herring is particularly important for clarifying the evolutionary processes and driving mechanisms of the YS large marine ecosystem. Unfortunately, because of a lack of long‐term, continuous, and simultaneous monitoring data, the specific driving processes and mechanisms of climate effects on the population dynamics of YS herring remain largely unknown. In response to this scientific issue, we preliminarily propose the idea of reconstructing long‐term changes in YS herring abundance over the past 590 years (AD 1417–2004) based on historical documents and attempt to explore the impacts of climate on the population. Our results show that YS herring abundance maintained at a relatively high level from AD 1417 to 1870 (during the Little Ice Age); in contrast, the population declined significantly from AD 1870 to 2004 at different rates. In addition, we also found that there were strong relationships between the population abundance of YS herring and the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO) and drought/flood cycles. We suggest that the fluctuations in YS herring abundance may be influenced by ocean–climatic circulation shifts throughout the North Pacific, especially the PDO.

Rare variants in FANCA induce premature ovarian insufficiency - Xi Yang; Xiaojin Zhang; Jiao Jiao; Feng Zhang; Yuncheng Pan; Qiqi Wang; Qing Chen; Baozhu Cai; Shuyan Tang; Zixue Zhou; Siyuan Chen; Hao Yin; et al. (Human Genetics, 2019)
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a major cause of reduced female fertility and affects approximately 1% women under 40 years of age. Recent advances emphasize the genetic heterogeneity of POI. Fanconi anemia (FA) genes, traditionally known for their essential roles in DNA repair and cytogenetic instability, have been demonstrated to be involved in meiosis and germ cell development. Here, we conducted whole-exome sequencing (WES) in 50 Han Chinese female patients with POI. Rare missense variants were identified in FANCA ( Fanconi anemia complementation group A ): c.1772G > A (p.R591Q) and c.3887A > G (p.E1296G). Both variants are heterozygous in the patients and very rare in the human population. In vitro functional studies further demonstrated that these two missense variants of FANCA exhibited reduced protein expression levels compared with the wild type, suggesting the partial loss of function. Moreover, mono-ubiquitination levels of FANCD2 upon mitomycin C stimulation were significantly reduced in cells overexpressing FANCA variants. Furthermore, a loss-of-function mutation of Fanca was generated in C57BL/6 mice for in vivo functional assay. Consistently, heterozygous mutated female mice ( Fanca + / − ) showed reduced fertility and declined numbers of follicles with aging when compared with the wild-type female mice. Collectively, our results suggest that heterozygous pathogenic variants in FANCA are implicated in non-syndromic POI in Han Chinese women, provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of POI and highlight the contribution of FANCA variants in female subfertility.

The relationship among probabilistic, deterministic and potential skills in predicting the ENSO for the past 161 years - Ting Liu; Youmin Tang; Dejian Yang; Yanjie Cheng; Xunshu Song; Zhaolu Hou; Zheqi Shen; Yanqiu Gao; Yanling Wu; Xiaojing Li; Banglin Zhang (Climate Dynamics, 2019)
Here, we explored in depth the relationship among the deterministic prediction skill, the probabilistic prediction skill and the potential predictability. This was achieved by theoretical analyses and, in particular, by an analysis of long-term ensemble ENSO hindcast over 161 years from 1856 to 2016. First, a nonlinear monotonic relationship between the deterministic prediction skill and the probabilistic prediction skill, derived by theoretical analysis, was examined and validated using the ensemble hindcast. Further, the co-variability between the potential predictability and the deterministic prediction skill was explored in both perfect model assumption and actual model scenario. On these bases, we investigated the relationship between the potential predictability and probabilistic prediction skill from both the practice of ENSO forecast and theoretical perspective. The results of the study indicate that there are nonlinear monotonic relationships among these three kinds of measures. The potential predictability is considered to be a good indicator for the actual prediction skill in terms of both the deterministic measures and the probabilistic framework. The relationships identified here exhibit considerable significant practical sense to conduct predictability researches, which provide an inexpensive and moderate approach for inquiring prediction uncertainties without the requirement of costly ensemble experiments.

Assessment of ECMWF reanalysis data in complex terrain: Can the CERA‐20C and ERA‐Interim data sets replicate the variation in surface air temperatures over Sichuan, China? - Haolin Luo; Fei Ge; Kangquan Yang; Shoupeng Zhu; Ting Peng; Wenyue Cai; Xiaoran Liu; Weiwei Tang (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Surface air temperatures (SATs) derived from the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) ERA‐Interim and CERA‐20C reanalysis data sets are compared with data from 43 observation stations in Sichuan for 1979–2010. The results show (a) the temperatures from the ERA‐Interim and CERA‐20C data sets are strongly correlated with those from the observation stations, although significant cold biases are seen on both annual and seasonal timescales. (b) The biases in SATs are predominately influenced by the differences between the actual topography and the topography used in the reanalysis models. Larger differences in temperature are observed in the plateau and mountainous regions of Sichuan. We confirmed larger SAT biases at high altitudes by categorizing the elevation into four bands, each with a spacing of 1,000 m. (c) We reduced the biases resulting from elevation by using an elevation correction method with internal lapse rates derived from different reanalysis pressure levels. The annual mean bias was reduced from −2.86 to −0.75°C for the ERA‐Interim data set and from −5.27 to −2.21°C for the CERA‐20C data set. After calibration, the correlation coefficients between the difference in SAT (observed minus reanalysis data) and the difference in elevation (station elevation minus model elevation) decreased from −0.97 and −0.91 to −0.29 and −0.30 for the ERA‐Interim and CERA‐20C data sets, respectively. These significant differences should not be ignored in the application of reanalysis data sets to climate research. The evaluation and calibration of reanalysis data sets are essential before making assessments of regional climate change, especially over regions with complex topography.

AoStuA, an APSES transcription factor, regulates the conidiation, trap formation, stress resistance and pathogenicity of the nematode‐trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora - Meihua Xie; Yunchuan Wang; Liyan Tang; Le Yang; Duanxu Zhou; Qing Li; Xuemei Niu; Ke‐Qin Zhang; Jinkui Yang (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary The APSES protein family comprises a conserved class of fungus‐specific transcriptional regulators. Some members have been identified in partial ascomycetes. In this study, the APSES protein StuA (AoStuA) of the nematode‐trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora was characterized. Compared with the wild‐type (WT) strain, three Δ AoStuA mutants grew relatively slowly, displayed a 96% reduction in sporulation capacity and a delay in conidial germination. The reduced sporulation capacity correlated with transcriptional repression of several sporulation‐related genes. The mutants were also more sensitive to chemical stressors than the WT strain. Importantly, the mutants were unable to produce mycelial traps for nematode predation. Moreover, peroxisomes and Woronin bod ies were abundant in the WT cells but hardly found in the cells of those mutants. The lack of such organelles correlated with transcriptional repression of some genes involved in the biogenesis of peroxisomes and Woronin bod ies. The transcript levels of several genes involved in the cAMP/PKA signalling pathway were also significantly reduced in the mutants versus the WT strain, implicating a regulatory role of AoStuA in the transcription of genes involved in the cAMP/PKA signalling pathway that regulates an array of cellular processes and events. In particular, AoStuA is indispensable for A . oligospora trap formation and virulence.

3,000 km and 1,500‐year presence of Aureococcus anophagefferens reveals indigenous origin of brown tides in China - Ying Zhong Tang; Zhaopeng Ma; Zhangxi Hu; Yunyan Deng; Aoao Yang; Siheng Lin; Liang Yi; Zhaoyang Chai; Christopher J. Gobler (Molecular Ecology, 2019)
The nonmotile, spherical, picoplanktonic (2‐μm‐sized) pelagophyte Aureococcus anophagefferens has caused numerous harmful blooms (“brown tides”) across global marine ecosystems. Blooms have developed along the east coast of the USA since 1985, a limited number of times in South Africa around 1997, and frequently in China since 2009. As a consequence, the harmful blooms have caused massive losses in aquaculture and coastal ecosystems, particularly mortalities in cultured shellfish. Therefore, whether A. anophagefferens was recently introduced to China via natural/artificial transport of resting stage cells or has been an indigenous species has become a question of profound ecological significance and broad interest, which motivated our extensive investigation on the geographic and historical presence of this species in the seas of China. We applied a combined approach of extensive PCR‐based detection and sequencing, germination experiments and monoclonal antibody staining of germlings to samples of surface sediment and sediment core (dated via combined isotopic measurements) collected from all four seas of China, and searched the supplementary data set of a recent Science publication. We discovered that A. anophagefferens does have a resting stage in the sediment, but it also has a wide geographic distribution both in China (covering a range of ~30° in latitude, ~15.7° in longitude and 2.5–3,456 m in water depth; temperate to tropical and coastal to open oceans) and in almost all oceans of the world and a historical presence of >1,500 years in the Bohai Sea, China. The work revealed that A. anophagefferens is not a recently introduced, but an indigenous species in China and has in fact a globally cosmopolitan distribution.

Effects of Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi on the Growth Characteristics, Root Morphology, and Ion Distribution of Pyrus betulaefolia Bunge under Saline-Alkaline Stress - Xiuyan Yang; Huanyong Li; Lei Jiang; Xiaoqian Tang; Xiaowei Liu; Huaxin Zhang (Forest Science, 2019)
In this study, Pyrus betulaefolia Bunge seedlings were used to investigate the effects of an arbuscular mycorrhiza fungus (AMF; Funneliformis mosseae) on plant-growth characteristics, root morphology, salt tolerance, and ion distribution under saline-alkaline stress. An indoor pot experiment was conducted in which seedlings were inoculated with Funneliformis mosseae under treatments of four different concentrations of Na2CO3 solution. The results show that AMF could establish symbiotic relations with the P. betulaefolia root system under Na2CO3 stress. Under the same Na2CO3 stress, AMF significantly increased the height growth and biomass accumulation of P. betulaefolia seedlings. AMF also promoted the root growth of P. betulaefolia seedlings. AMF inoculation significantly affected the absorption and distribution of K+ and Na+ in P. betulaefolia. The K/Na ratios in the roots and leaves of seedlings inoculated with AMF were higher than those of seedlings without inoculation. The results of this study show that inoculation with AMF had a positive effect on enhancing the saline-alkaline tolerance of P. betulaefolia, and root treatment of P. betulaefolia seedlings with Funneliformis mosseae has the potential for application in the development of saline-alkaline soil vegetation.

Evaluation of the effects of a multiphysics ensemble on the simulation of an extremely hot summer in 2003 over the CORDEX‐EA‐II region - Linyun Yang; Shuyu Wang; Jianping Tang; Xiaorui Niu; Congbin Fu (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
In this paper, we evaluate a 48‐member multiphysics ensemble using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model for the JJA extreme precipitation and temperature in 2003 over the CORDEX‐EA‐II domain. The simulated precipitation and temperature are reasonable in the subregions controlled by a large‐scale circulation, yet the biases for both precipitation and temperature are evident over the subregions where the effects of mesoscale processes are important. The performance of various combinations of WRF physical schemes for simulating the JJA precipitation is dependent on the region. Meanwhile, the cumulus and microphysical schemes have substantial influences on the simulation of precipitation, and the land surface models and cumulus schemes play crucial roles in the surface temperature. Our analysis shows that the combination of Noah for the land surface process, Lin for the microphysics, G3D for the cumulus parameterization, and CAM for the radiation scheme can provide the most reliable reproduction of both precipitation and temperature extremes over China. Ensemble analysis shows that the simulated climate extremes are usually accompanied by a large ensemble spread, implying sensitivities to the model physical processes in some subregions. The simulated wind fields at low‐to‐middle atmospheric levels display responses to the options of the land surface models and cumulus schemes. The essential impact of the land–atmospheric interaction on simulating the extremes can be largely attributed to the active convective processes. WRF has difficulties in reproducing the observed temporal evolution of the rainfall process, which consists of continuous large rainfall episodes in the observation data set during the simulation period.

Heterotrophic microbes upgrade food value of a terrestrial carbon resource for Daphnia magna - Yali Tang; Xiaoqin Yang; Ruohua Xu; Xiufeng Zhang; Zhengwen Liu; Yongdong Zhang; Henri J. Dumont (Limnology and Oceanography, 2019)
Terrestrial carbon resources are generally regarded as inferior‐quality food for zooplankton due to a lack of essential biomolecules (e.g., polyunsaturated fatty acids). However, recent stable isotopic studies have suggested terrestrial carbon to be substantial resource for zooplankton, though the mechanisms of assimilation are not well understood. Here, we consider the possibility that heterotrophic microbes can upgrade the nutritional value of terrestrial carbon and thereby support the somatic growth and reproduction of zooplankton. To test this hypothesis, a simplified experimental food chain was established. Aquatic microbes were raised under dark laboratory conditions on a terrestrial carbon source, decaying corn straw ( Zea mays L.), and the resulting degradation products were supplied as food to Daphnia magna . Significant increases in microbial abundance and concomitant increases in polyunsaturated fatty acid were observed during the degradation of corn straw. Furthermore, experiments indicated that the somatic growth and reproduction of D. magna was supported exclusively by the products of corn straw decay. Our results indicate a pathway for the assimilation of terrestrial carbon by zooplankton, in which heterotrophic microbes serve as trophic links.

QsvR integrates into quorum sensing circuit to control Vibrio parahaemolyticus virulence - Yiquan Zhang; Linghui Hu; Yue Qiu; George Osei‐Adjei; Hao Tang; Ying Zhang; Rui Zhang; Xiumei Sheng; Shungao Xu; Wenhui Yang; Huiying Yang; Zhe Yin; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary Vibrio parahaemolyticus , the leading cause of seafood‐associated gastroenteritis worldwide, requires the two type‐III secretion systems (T3SS1 and T3SS2) and a thermostable direct hemolysin (encoded by tdh1 and tdh2 ) for full virulence. The tdh genes and the T3SS2 gene cluster constitute an 80 kb pathogenicity island known as Vp‐PAI located on the chromosome II. Expression of T3SS1 and Vp‐PAI is regulated in a quorum sensing (QS)‐dependent manner but its detailed mechanisms remain unknown. Herein, we show that three factors (QS regulators AphA and OpaR and an AraC‐type transcriptional regulator QsvR) form a complex regulatory network to control the expression of T3SS1 and Vp‐PAI genes. At low cell density (LCD), whereas Vp‐PAI expression is repressed, T3SS1 genes are induced by AphA, which directly binds (an operator region of) the exsBAD‐vscBCD operon. At high cell density (HCD), the bacterium turns off T3SS1 expression by replacing AphA with OpaR, triggering the induction of Vp‐PAI. Furthermore, QsvR binds to the regulatory regions of all the tested T3SS1 and Vp‐PAI genes to activate their transcription at HCD. Taken together, our data highlight how multiple QS regulators contribute to the pathogenicity of V. parahaemolyticus by precisely controlling the expression of major virulence determinants during different stages of growth.

New Equations to Evaluate Lateral Displacement Caused by Liquefaction Using the Response Surface Method - Nima Pirhadi; Xiaowei Tang; Qing Yang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019)
Few empirical and semi-empirical approaches have considered the influence of the geology, tectonic source, causative fault type, and frequency content of earthquake motion on lateral displacement caused by liquefaction (DH). This paper aims to address this gap in the literature by adding an earthquake parameter of the standardized cumulative absolute velocity (CAV5) to the original dataset for analyzing. Furthermore, the complex influence of fine content in the liquefiable layer (F15) is analyzed by deriving two different equations: the first one is for the whole range of parameters, and the second one is for a limited range of F15 values under 28% in order to the F15’s critical value presented in literature. The new response surface method (RSM) approach is applied on the basis of the artificial neural network (ANN) model to develop two new equations. Moreover, to illustrate the capability and efficiency of the developed models, the results of the RSM models are examined by comparing them with an additional three available models using data from the Chi-Chi earthquake sites that were not used for developing the models in this study. In conclusion, the RSM provides a capable tool to evaluate the liquefaction phenomenon, and the results fully justify the complex effect of different values of F15.

Mismatch in elevational shifts between satellite observed vegetation greenness and temperature isolines during 2000–2016 on the Tibetan Plateau - Shuai An; Xiaolin Zhu; Miaogen Shen; Yafeng Wang; Ruyin Cao; Xuehong Chen; Wei Yang; Jin Chen; Yanhong Tang (Global Change Biology, 2018)
Climate warming on the Tibetan Plateau tends to induce an uphill shift of temperature isolines. Observations and process‐based models have both shown that climate warming has resulted in an increase in vegetation greenness on the Tibetan Plateau in recent decades. However, it is unclear whether the uphill shift of temperature isolines has caused greenness isolines to shift upward and whether the two shifts match each other. Our analysis of satellite observed vegetation greenness during the growing season (May–Sep) and gridded climate data for 2000–2016 documented a substantial mismatch between the elevational shifts of greenness and temperature isolines. This mismatch is probably associated with a lagging response of greenness to temperature change and with the elevational gradient of greenness. The lagging response of greenness may be associated with water limitation, resources availability, and acclimation. This lag may weaken carbon sequestration by Tibetan ecosystems, given that greenness is closely related to primary carbon uptake and ecosystem respiration increases exponentially with temperature. We also found that differences in terrain slope angle accounted for large spatial variations in the elevational gradient of greenness and thus the velocity of elevational shifts of greenness isolines and the sensitivity of elevational shifts of greenness isolines to temperature, highlighting the role of terrain effects on the elevational shifts of greenness isolines. The mismatches and the terrain effect found in this study suggest that there is potentially large micro‐topographical difference in response and acclimation/adaptation of greenness to temperature changes in plants. More widespread in situ measurements and fine‐resolution remote sensing observations and fine‐gridded climate data are required to attribute the mismatch to specific environmental drivers and ecological processes such as vertical changes in community structure, plant physiology, and distribution of species.
