The quantitative relationship between macrobenthic carbon and organic carbon in sediments: A case study of the northern continental shelf of the South China Sea - Dehao Tang; Xingjian Liu; Tianyue Peng; Xiaohong Yang; Lei Jia; Jian He; Xiaoguang Huang; Zhen Xia (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Macrobenthos play an important role in global biogeochemical cycles and carbon energy exchange. Macrobenthic communities on continental shelves are alimented through the sedimentation of organic material. Sedimentary organic carbon is the key step for the carbon cycling within the continental shelf benthic trophic web. However, the quantitative relationship between the macrobenthos and sediments based on total organic carbon (TOC), and the trophic pathways of macrobenthos applied by stable carbon and nitrogen isotope data (δ 13 C and δ 15 N) on the continental shelf are still limited. Therefore, the continental shelf of the northern South China Sea (NSCS), with abundant macrobenthos, was chosen as the research area. In this paper, TOC, total nitrogen (TN), δ 13 C and δ 15 N of the macrobenthos and sediments, the eco-exergy (Ex), structural eco-exergy (Exst) of macrobenthos communities of the NSCS were analysed. The TOC and TN in macrobenthos varied widely between 1.05% and 71.08% and between 0.29% and 11.36%, respectively, which were much higher than those in sediments. Trophic pathways (food sources and trophic levels) were established by applying δ 13 C and δ 15 N values of the main macrobenthic species. The similar stable isotope ratios and the trophic levels of most macrobenthos (2.0–3.4) might indicate similar food compositions and living habits. Eco-exergy grades were positively correlated with the average trophic level value of macrobenthos (correlation coefficient R=0.79). The relationship between the Ex value and the weight of required sediments estimated by the average organic carbon showed a typical positive correlation (R=0.98). This establishment of quantitative relationship provides a useful method for evaluating the structural functions of the ecosystem and researching the carbon sequestration potential of the macrobenthos community.

The cAMP‐PKA signalling pathway regulates hyphal growth, conidiation, trap morphogenesis, stress tolerance, and autophagy in Arthrobotrys oligospora - Mei‐Chen Zhu; Na Zhao; Yan‐Kun Liu; Xue‐Mei Li; Zheng‐Yi Zhen; Ya‐Qing Zheng; Ke‐Qin Zhang; Jin‐Kui Yang (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
The cyclic adenosine monophosphate‐protein kinase A (cAMP‐PKA) signalling pathway is evolutionarily conserved in eukaryotes and plays a crucial role in defending against external environmental challenges, which can modulate the cellular response to external stimuli. Arthrobotrys oligospora is a typical nematode‐trapping fungus that specializes in adhesive networks to kill nematodes. To elucidate the biological roles of the cAMP‐PKA signalling pathway, we characterized the orthologous adenylate cyclase AoAcy, a regulatory subunit (AoPkaR), and two catalytic subunits (AoPkaC1 and AoPkaC2) of PKA in A. oligospora by gene disruption, transcriptome, and metabolome analyses. Deletion of Aoacy significantly reduced the levels of cAMP and arthrobotrisins. Results revealed that Aoacy , AopkaR , and AopkaC1 were involved in hyphal growth, trap morphogenesis, sporulation, stress resistance, and autophagy. In addition, Aoacy and AopkaC1 were involved in the regulation of mitochondrial morphology, thereby affecting energy metabolism, whereas AopkaC2 affected sporulation, nuclei, and autophagy. Multi‐omics results showed that the cAMP‐PKA signalling pathway regulated multiple metabolic and cellular processes. Collectively, these data highlight the indispensable role of cAMP‐PKA signalling pathway in the growth, development, and pathogenicity of A. oligospora, and provide insights into the regulatory mechanisms of signalling pathways in sporulation, trap formation, and lifestyle transition.

Predicting the Tropical Sea Surface Temperature Diurnal Cycle Amplitude Using an Improved XGBoost Algorithm - Yueling Feng; Zhen Gao; Heng Xiao; Xiaodan Yang; Zhenya Song (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
As a critical physical parameter in the sea–air interface, sea surface temperature (SST) plays a crucial role in the sea–air interaction process. The SST diurnal cycle is one of the most critical changes that occur in the various time scales of SST. Currently, accurate simulation and prediction of SST diurnal cycle amplitude remain challenging. The application of machine learning in marine environment research, simulation, and prediction has received increasing attention. In this study, a regression prediction model for SST diurnal cycle amplitude was constructed based on TOGA/COARE buoy-observed data and an extreme gradient boosting algorithm (XGBoost). The XGBoost algorithm was also optimized using label distribution smoothing (LDS) to respond to the problem of uneven cycle amplitude size distribution. The results showed that the LDS-XGB model outperformed various empirical models and other machine learning models in terms of prediction error and prediction accuracy while effectively improving the data imbalance problem without losing model accuracy and achieving accurate and efficient predictions of the SST diurnal cycle amplitude. This work is a good demonstration of the integration of marine science and machine learning, which indicates that machine learning plays an important role in the model parametrizations and understanding the mechanisms.

Detection of Massive Oil Spills in Sun Glint Optical Imagery through Super-Pixel Segmentation - Zhen Sun; Shaojie Sun; Jun Zhao; Bin Ai; Qingshu Yang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Large volumes of crude oil accidentally released into the sea may cause irreversible adverse impacts on marine and coastal environments. Large swath optical imagery, acquired using platforms such as the moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS), is frequently used for massive oil spill detection, attributing to its large coverage and short global revisit, providing rich data for oil spill monitoring. The aim of this study was to develop a suitable approach for massive oil spill detection in sun glint optical imagery. Specifically, preprocessing procedures were conducted to mitigate the inhomogeneous light field over the spilled area caused by sun glint, enhance the target boundary contrast, and maintain the internal homogeneity within the target. The image was then segmented into super-pixels based on a simple linear clustering method with similar characteristics of color, brightness, and texture. The neighborhood super-pixels were merged into target objects through the region adjacency graph method based on the Euclidean distance of their colors with an adaptive termination threshold. Oil slicks from the generated bright/dark objects were discriminated through a decision tree with parameters based on spectral and spatial characteristics. The proposed approach was applied to oil spill detection in MODIS images acquired during the Montara oil spill in 2009, with an overall extraction precision of 0.8, recall of 0.838, and F1-score of 0.818. Such an approach is expected to provide timely and accurate oil spill detection for disaster emergency response and ecological impact assessment.

(Molecular Neurobiology, 2022)
Numerous studies have investigated the risk factors of Alzheimer’s disease (AD); however, AD-risk factors related miRNAs were rarely reported. In this study, AD-risk factor related miRNAs of 105 Chinese individuals (45 AD patients and 60 cognitively normal controls) were investigated. The results showed that Hsa-miR-185-5p, Hsa-miR-20a-5p, and Hsa-miR-497-5p were related to AD and education, Hsa-miR-185-5p, Hsa-miR-181c-5p, Hsa-miR-664a-3p, Hsa-miR-27a-3p, Hsa-miR-451a, and Hsa-miR-320a were related to AD and depression. Target prediction of above miRNAs showed that these miRNAs were involved in the generation and clearance of amyloid-beta (Aβ), important molecules related to cognition, and disease-activated microglia response to AD. It is worth noting that Hsa-miR-185-5p was related to both education and depression, whose decreased expression pattern in AD patients was alleviated by education and enhanced by depression, and participates in Aβ generation and accumulation. Our results indicated that certain education and depression factors can contribute to AD progression by modulating miRNA expression, implying that preventive interventions might alter AD progression in Chinese patients.

Distribution, spectral characteristics, and seasonal variation of dissolved organic matter in the northern Beibu Gulf, South China Sea - Zuhao Zhu; Huihua Wei; Yao Guan; Li Zhang; Renming Jia; Pengfei Sun; Yang Yang; Zhen Zhang; Qiufeng Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the land–ocean interface plays a critical role in the global carbon cycle, yet its dynamic is not well understood. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the northern Beibu Gulf was measured seasonally from April 2020 to January 2021. Chromophoric and fluorescent DOM (CDOM and FDOM) were synchronously characterized by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. Three fluorescent components were identified from 597 samples using parallel factor analysis, including two humic-like and one protein-like component. DOC displays a significant seasonality with the average level being highest in summer (177 μmol/L) and lowest in winter (107 μmol/L). CDOM and FDOM levels in summer are also higher than those in winter. Although the variation ranges of DOC, CDOM, and FDOM in surface water are generally greater than in bottom water, the difference between the two layers is statistically insignificant. River discharge and anthropogenic input are important external sources of DOM in the low-salinity nearshore waters (i.e., estuaries and coast), whereas DOM in offshore waters is mainly produced by in situ biological activity. The mixing behavior of DOM in the northern Beibu Gulf varies spatially but minimally on a seasonal scale. Two distinct conservative mixing behaviors of DOC, CDOM, and humic-like FDOM occur in the nearshore waters from Tieshangang Bay and excluding Tieshangang Bay, respectively. The removal of protein-like FDOM along the salinity gradient and the negative correlation between protein-like FDOM intensity and apparent oxygen utilization are pronounced in the nearshore waters excluding Tieshangang Bay, jointly indicating that oxygen is consumed by microbial communities. In contrast, a net addition of DOC occurs in the high-salinity offshore waters, whereas the CDOM and humic-like FDOM undergoes quasi-conservative mixing. Overall, this study reveals notable spatial and seasonal variations in the concentration, source, and mixing of DOM at the land–ocean interface and highlights the importance of sources and processes in shaping the amount and composition of DOM exported to the ocean margin.

Ecological environmental quality assessment of Chinese estuarine wetlands during 2000–2020 based on a remote sensing ecological index - Zhen Zhang; Zongcai Cai; Junhua Yang; Xiaohui Guo (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Coastal estuarine wetlands are important transition zones between rivers and oceans and are extremely rich in biodiversity. In recent years in China, large-scale reclamation and development of coastal cities have imposed serious pressures on coastal ecosystems. Thus, assessing the ecological quality of estuarine wetlands is extremely important for sustainable development. Our study focuses on four typical estuarine wetlands at the mouths of the Yangtze, Yellow, Liaohe and PearRivers. Their ecological quality between 2000 and 2020 was assessed using a remote sensing ecological index (RSEI), which was derived from several remote sensing indexes processed via the online Google Earth Engine platform. From 2000 to 2020, the RSEIs of coastal wetland increased from 0.42 to 0.63 in the Liao River estuary, 0.27 to 0.45 in the Pearl River estuary and from 0.47 to 0.54 in the Yangtze River estuary, and decreased from 0.56 to 0.49 in the Yellow River estuary. The spatial distribution in ecological environmental quality was significantly clustered. High-high clusters occurred mainly in areas of lush vegetation, while low-low clusters were mostly found in built-up areas or coastal zones. Aquacultural and built-up areas had negative impacts on the ecological environment, while vegetation cover had a positive influence. The quality of the ecological environment within these wetlands has gradually improved due to the environmental management policies of national and local governments. This approach to evaluating the ecological quality of estuarine wetlands using the RSEI and Google Earth Engine provides critical information to inform sustainable development policy.

In vitro effects of Eucommia ulmoides and its active components on the growth, lipid metabolism and collagen metabolism of grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idellu s) hepatocyte and intramuscular fibroblast - Hang Yang; Zhen Xu; Sumei Tan; Chunyan Zhang; Xiaoqin Li; Xiangjun Leng (Journal of Fish Biology, 2022)
Two experiments were conducted to investigate the in vitro effects of Eucommia ulmoides ( E. ulmoides ) and its active components on the growth, lipid metabolism and collagen metabolism of grass carp's ( Ctenopharyngodon idellus ) hepatocytes and intramuscular fibroblasts. In experiments 1 and 2 (Expt. 1, 2), hepatocytes and intramuscular fibroblasts were treated with 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 μg ml –1 of Eucommia bark extract (EBE), Eucommia leaf extract (ELE), pinoresinol diglucoside (PDG), chlorogenic acid (CGA), quercetin (QC) and aucubin (AU) for 24 h, respectively, then the cell growth, lipid and collagen metabolism‐related gene expressions were evaluated. The results showed that the cell proliferation rate of hepatocytes and intramuscular fibroblasts was significantly improved by the supplementation of EBE, ELE, CGA, QC and AU. Moreover, triglyceride concentration of hepatocytes was significantly decreased by the EBE, ELE, CGA and QC supplementations compared to the control. Meanwhile, EBE, ELE, CGA, QC and AU supplementations significantly upregulated the relative gene expressions of insulin‐like growth factor‐1 ( igf1 ), protein kinase B ( akt ), target of rapamycin ( tor ) and eukaryotic initiation factor 4E binding protein 1 ( 4ebp1 ) in hepatocytes, and ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 ( s6k1 ) transcription was significantly activated by ELE, CGA and QC supplementations. Nonetheless, phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase ( pi3k ) was unaffected by any of the supplements. In addition, the mRNA expressions of genes associated with lipid metabolism (peroxisome proliferator activated receptor α pparα , carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 cpt1 , adipose triglyceride lipase atgl , hormone‐sensitive lipase hsl , peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ pparγ ) were significantly upregulated by EBE, ELE, CGA and QC. In intramuscular fibroblasts, the EBE, ELE, CGA, QC and AU supplementations significantly increased in vitro hydroxyproline concentrations, promoted the relative expressions of transforming growth factor‐β1 ( tgfβ1 ), connective tissue growth factor ( ctgf ), collagen type I alpha 1/2 chain ( col1a1 , col1a2 ), lysine oxidase ( lox ) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase‐2 ( timp2 ), and decreased matrix metalloproteinase‐2 ( mmp2 ) gene expression. Also, the gene expressions of drosophila mothers against decapentaplegic protein 2/4 ( smad2 , smad4 ) and proline hydroxylase ( phd ) were significantly upregulated by ELE, CGA, QC and AU supplementations. Based on the present in vitro results of grass carp, EBE, ELE, CGA, QC and AU improved the growth and lipid metabolism (except AU) in hepatocytes, and promoted the collagen deposition in intramuscular fibroblast, which is partly attributed to the signalling pathways of AKT/TOR, PPARα and TGF‐β/Smads/CTGF.

Oocytes Skipped Spawning Through Atresia Is Regulated by Somatic Cells Revealed by Transcriptome Analysis in Pampus argenteus - Yang Yang; Guohao Wang; Yaya Li; Jiabao Hu; Yajun Wang; Zhen Tao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
In teleost, follicle atresia is a common degenerative process that can occur at different stages of ovarian development. In this study, we depicted the cellular morphology of silver pomfret (Pampus argenteus) follicular atresia in detail and divided it into four different stages from Aα to Aδ stages based on the main cellular characteristics. High-throughput RNA sequencing was used to profile follicle atresia from Aα to Aδ stages, and many stage-specific genes were identified. In early atretic ovary, a great number of genes in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction were obviously downregulated, suggesting that somatic cells might directly induce the follicle atresia by disrupting the normal conservation with germ cells. Meanwhile, the regulatory network of immune cell–related pathways was discovered in the process of atresia. The genes enriched in Th cell differentiation, leukocyte transendothelial migration, cholesterol metabolism, and so on were abundantly expressed, indicating that the immune cells play key roles in the process of in follicle atresia. Moreover, a model was proposed to illustrate how somatic cells mediate the process of follicle atresia. The study provides important insights into the molecular networks underlying follicle atresia in teleost.

Estrogen Receptor-A in Medial Preoptic Area Contributes to Sex Difference of Mice in Response to Sevoflurane Anesthesia - Yunyun Zhang; Huiming Li; Xinxin Zhang; Sa Wang; Dan Wang; Jiajia Wang; Tingting Tong; Zhen Zhang; Qianzi Yang; Hailong Dong (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2022)
A growing number of studies have identified sex differences in response to general anesthesia; however, the underlying neural mechanisms are unclear. The medial preoptic area (MPA), an important sexually dimorphic structure and a critical hub for regulating consciousness transition, is enriched with estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), particularly in neuronal clusters that participate in regulating sleep. We found that male mice were more sensitive to sevoflurane. Pharmacological inhibition of ERα in the MPA abolished the sex differences in sevoflurane anesthesia, in particular by extending the induction time and facilitating emergence in males but not in females. Suppression of ERα in vitro inhibited GABAergic and glutamatergic neurons of the MPA in males but not in females. Furthermore, ERα knockdown in GABAergic neurons of the male MPA was sufficient to eliminate sex differences during sevoflurane anesthesia. Collectively, MPA ERα positively regulates the activity of MPA GABAergic neurons in males but not in females, which contributes to the sex difference of mice in sevoflurane anesthesia.

Anterior Cingulate Cortex Mediates Hyperalgesia and Anxiety Induced by Chronic Pancreatitis in Rats - Dan Ren; Jia-Ni Li; Xin-Tong Qiu; Fa-Ping Wan; Zhen-Yu Wu; Bo-Yuan Fan; Ming-Ming Zhang; Tao Chen; Hui Li; Yang Bai; Yun-Qing Li (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2022)
Central sensitization is essential in maintaining chronic pain induced by chronic pancreatitis (CP), but cortical modulation of painful CP remains elusive. Here, we examined the role of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in the pathogenesis of abdominal hyperalgesia in a rat model of CP induced by intraductal administration of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS). TNBS treatment resulted in long-term abdominal hyperalgesia and anxiety in rats. Morphological data indicated that painful CP induced a significant increase in FOS-expressing neurons in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) and ACC, and some FOS-expressing neurons in the NTS projected to the ACC. In addition, a larger portion of ascending fibers from the NTS innervated pyramidal neurons, the neural subpopulation primarily expressing FOS under the condition of painful CP, rather than GABAergic neurons within the ACC. CP rats showed increased expression of vesicular glutamate transporter 1, and increased membrane trafficking and phosphorylation of the N -methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) subunit NR2B and the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid receptor (AMPAR) subunit GluR1 within the ACC. Microinjection of NMDAR and AMPAR antagonists into the ACC to block excitatory synaptic transmission significantly attenuated abdominal hyperalgesia in CP rats, which was similar to the analgesic effect of endomorphins injected into the ACC. Specifically inhibiting the excitability of ACC pyramidal cells via chemogenetics reduced both hyperalgesia and comorbid anxiety, whereas activating these neurons via optogenetics failed to aggravate hyperalgesia and anxiety in CP rats. Taken together, these findings provide neurocircuit, biochemical, and behavioral evidence for involvement of the ACC in hyperalgesia and anxiety in CP rats, as well as novel insights into the cortical modulation of painful CP, and highlights the ACC as a potential target for neuromodulatory interventions in the treatment of painful CP.

Dysfunction of FadA‐cAMP signalling decreases Aspergillus flavus resistance to antimicrobial natural preservative Perillaldehyde and AFB1 biosynthesis - Kunlong Yang; Qingru Geng; Yue Luo; Rui Xie; Tongzheng Sun; Zhen Wang; Ling Qin; Wei Zhao; Man Liu; Yongxin Li; Jun Tian (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Aspergillus flavus is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that colonizes agriculture crops with aflatoxin contamination. We found that Perillaldehyde (PAE) effectively inhibited A . flavus viability and aflatoxin production by inducing excess reactive oxygen species (ROS). Transcriptome analysis indicated that the Gα protein FadA was significantly induced by PAE. Functional characterization of FadA showed it is important for asexual development and aflatoxin biosynthesis by regulation of cAMP‐PKA signalling. The Δ fadA mutant was more sensitive to PAE, while Δ pdeL and Δ pdeH mutants can tolerate excess PAE compared to wild‐type A . flavus . Further RNA‐sequence analysis showed that fadA was important for expression of genes involved in oxidation–reduction and cellular metabolism. The flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy demonstrated that Δ fadA accumulated more concentration of ROS in cells, and the transcriptome data indicated that genes involved in ROS scavenging were downregulated in Δ fadA mutant. We further found that FadA participated in regulating response to extracellular environmental stresses by increasing phosphorylation levels of MAPK Kinase Slt2 and Hog1. Overall, our results indicated that FadA signalling engages in mycotoxin production and A . flavus resistance to antimicrobial PAE, which provide valuable information for controlling this fungus and AF biosynthesis in pre‐ and postharvest of agricultural crops.

Toward Exploring Topographic Effects on Evolution and Propagation of Ocean Mesoscale Eddies Through Life Cycle Across Izu-Ogasawara Ridge in Northwestern Pacific Ocean - Rui Nian; Xue Geng; Zhengguang Zhang; Minghan Yuan; Zhen Fu; Hengfu Xu; Hua Yang; Qi Lai; Hui He; Chi Wei Su; Lina Zang; Qiang Yuan; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Ocean mesoscale eddies contribute significantly to water transport on a global scale, constituting the ubiquitous, irregular, discrete, nonlinear components. In this manuscript, we propose to explore whether and how the topographic effect of one meridional ridge, could exert considerable influences on the evolution and propagation of mesoscale eddies through their life cycle, directly from the perspectives of real observation statistics. We systematically investigate the known variability of mesoscale eddy trajectories, derived by multimission satellite altimetry from 1993 to 2018, of a life cycle more than 6 months, over the Izu-Ogasawara Ridge, and quantitatively examined the eddy-ridge interaction by observation statistics and wavelet coherence map, with respect to the intrinsic attributes, namely, the amplitude, the rotation speed, the radius. Due to the spatial-temporal diversity, a series of correlative steps have been particularly designed along time-frequency domain to trace back mesoscale eddy trajectories in a variety of origins, location, lifespan, polarity, either completely or partially passing over the ridge, and to facilitate the standardization in statistics across three phases of their life cycle, i.e., before, during and after the interaction with the ridge. It has been revealed in our experiment that three intrinsic attributes of mesoscale eddies within 25 years, all demonstrated noticeable correlation with the variation of topographic relief over the ridge. We observed that most of the cyclonic eddies obviously tended to begin to decay or even demise, while on the contrary, some of the anticyclonic eddies preferred to intensify slightly, or making no significant difference when encountering the upslope until climbing across the top, basically consistent with the expectation of potential vorticity (PV) conservation. The drifting velocity agreed with the tendency that the direction would be more probably modified toward equatorward or poleward by forcing to meridional component, with zonal component reduced at the beginning. The mesoscale eddies with the passage over the ridge exhibited the relatively high average horizontal scales, amplitude, rotation speed on the whole, compared to those with only partially passage. The developed scheme could integrate more evidences on how mesoscale eddies response to the topographic effects during their time-varying evolution and propagation process, and help provide opportunities to potentially identify and predict the underlying dynamic patterns and mechanisms that mesoscale eddies engage in ocean dynamics when proceeding toward meridional ridges on a global scale, with the promise of the end-to-end data-driven solution, such as deep learning architecture involved in the future.

Increasing the energy efficiency of a data center based on machine learning - Zhen Yang; Jinhong Du; Yiting Lin; Zhen Du; Li Xia; Qianchuan Zhao; Xiaohong Guan (Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2022)
Energy efficiency of data centers (DCs) is of great concern due to their large amount of energy consumption and the foreseeable growth in the demand of digital services in the future. The past decade witnessed improvements of the energy efficiency of DCs from an extensive margin—a shift from small to large, more efficient DCs. Improvements from the intensive margin, that is, from more efficient operation, would be critical in limiting the energy consumption and environmental impact of DCs in the upcoming period. Machine learning algorithms have advantages in optimizing the operation of DCs to improve energy efficiency as they have shown the potential of discovering control strategies not found by traditional method, and producing working condition‐dependent control strategies. This study proposes ready‐to‐use machine learning methods with practical details to decrease the most commonly used energy efficiency metric—power usage effectiveness in DCs. We achieved an accurate prediction by properly selecting the features used in the proposed prediction models established by neural network, light gradient boosting machine, recurrent neural network, and random forests. The proposed approaches are implemented in one of the largest hyperscale DCs in China—Tencent Tianjin DC, to optimize the set points of controllable variables in the cooling system and to detect and adjust the unreasonable working conditions in the modular data centers. The lower bound of PUE reduction was 0.005 with the proposed approaches, leading to about 1500 MWh (0.24% of the total designed electricity consumption of this DC) of energy saved per year in this hyperscale DC. The proposed methods have the potential to be transferred to DCs of similar scale, and the framework of our work could serve as a guide for machine learning‐based optimization of environmental indicators in other complex product/service systems.

(Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 2022)
Computerized interpretation of electrocardiogram plays an important role in daily cardiovascular healthcare. However, inaccurate interpretations lead to misdiagnoses and delay proper treatments. In this work, we built a high-quality Chinese 12-lead resting electrocardiogram dataset with 15,357 records, and called for a community effort to improve the performances of CIE through the China ECG AI Contest 2019. This dataset covers most types of ECG interpretations, including the normal type, 8 common abnormal types, and the other type which includes both uncommon abnormal and noise signals. Based on the Contest, we systematically assessed and analyzed a set of top-performing methods, most of which are deep neural networks, with both their commonalities and characteristics. This study establishes the benchmarks for computerized interpretation of 12-lead resting electrocardiogram and provides insights for the development of new methods.

Potential Effect of the Intrusion of the Kuroshio Current into the South China Sea on Catches of Japanese Eel (Anguilla Japonica) in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait - Ching-Hsien Ho; Long-Jing Wu; Zhen Lu; Bo-Yi Lu; Yang-Chi Lan (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
This study examined the effect of the intrusion of the Kuroshio Current (KC) into the South China Sea (SCS) and the Taiwan Strait (TS) (SCS–TS region) on changes in catches of larval A. japonica in the traditional fishing ground waters of Gaoping near southwestern Taiwan in the SCS–TS region. First, the oceanic environment and recruitment trends from 1967 to 2019 were investigated based on secondary data. Then, field surveys were conducted to obtain primary data regarding the intrusion of the KC into the SCS, as well as the changes in the fishing sites and catches of A. japonica in the fall and winter of 2014–2015. Hence, the association between oceanic conditions and the number of A. japonica migrating into the SCS–TS region was explored. From 1967 to 2019, the recruitment proportion in the fishing grounds that formed due to the Kuroshio Branch Current (PKSBC) fluctuated significantly. Overall, positive values were observed for the Oceanic Niño Index for each year with a PKSBC > 50%, corresponding to El Niño conditions. In each year with a PKSBC > 70%, a looping path and a warm–core eddy appeared.

Determining injection strategies of phosphorus‐coupled nitrogen fertigation based on clogging control of drip emitters with saline water application * - Zhen Wang; Jiusheng Li; Xiaoqi Yang (Irrigation and Drainage, 2021)
The beneficial effect of fertigation with acidic fertilizers to protect emitters from chemical and biological clogging might be inhibited by improper fertigation modes. An on‐site drip irrigation experiment was conducted to investigate the injection strategies of phosphorus (P)‐coupled nitrogen (N) fertigation and water salinity on clogging of emitters with plain channel and labyrinth structures. The results demonstrated that the H + in acidic P fertilizer solutions inhibited the precipitation of carbonate and phosphate simultaneously. However, a weak acidic P fertilizer could no longer protect the emitters from clogging effectively under saline water with an electrical conductivity (EC) exceeding 2 dS m −1 because the phosphate sediments accounted for more than 80% of the total clogging substances. A strategy of applying a weak acidic phosphate fertilizer following N fertigation performs better in reducing emitter clogging than fertigation using N and phosphate fertilizers together. The target pH values were obtained as 6.0, 4.0, and 3.0 for protecting emitters from clogging for drip irrigation systems applying irrigation water with an EC of 0.5, 2.0, and 4.0 dS m −1 , respectively. An optimal fertigation mode for emitter clogging control should consider water quality, type and pH value of fertilizer, and emitter type comprehensively.

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.

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.

Investigating the sensitivity of Venturia inaequalis isolates to difenoconazole and pyraclostrobin in apple orchards in China - Xiancheng Li; Haiyuan Li; Zhen Yu; Liqiang Gao; Jiarong Yang (European Journal of Plant Pathology, 2021)
The resistance level of 90 single lesion conidial isolates of Venturia inaequalis collected from multiple commercial orchards in Shaanxi and Gansu Provinces and Xinjiang Autonomous Region of China to the demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicide difenoconazole and quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicide pyraclostrobin was examined. The EC 50 values of the 90 isolates to difenoconazole and pyraclostrobin ranged from 0.143 to 6.735 μg/mL and 0.084 to 2.026 μg/mL, respectively. Among the isolates, 19 had resistance, 66 had reduced sensitivity, and five had sensitivity to difenoconazole; eight had resistance, 81 had reduced sensitivity, and one had sensitivity to pyraclostrobin. Although a weak correlation between difenoconazole and pyraclostrobin was detected, four isolates were identified as resistant to difenoconazole and pyraclostrobin. However, isolates with practical resistance were not found widely in our study and were only sporadic in a few places, indicating that at present, difenoconazole and pyraclostrobin are still safe for disease management in the apple-growing areas of Shaanxi, Gansu and Xinjiang. However, the risk of fungicide resistance should be managed with caution, and yearly monitoring of resistance development is necessary.

(Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Eutrophic coastal regions are highly productive and greatly influenced by human activities. Primary production supporting the coastal ecosystems is supposed to be affected by progressive ocean acidification driven by increasing CO 2 emissions. In order to investigate the effects of high p CO 2 (HC) on eutrophic plankton community structure and ecological functions, we employed 9 mesocosms and carried out an experiment under ambient (∼410 ppmv) and future high (1000 ppmv) atmospheric p CO 2 conditions, using in situ plankton community in Wuyuan Bay, East China Sea. Our results showed that HC along with natural seawater temperature rise significantly boosted biomass of diatoms with decreased abundance of dinoflagellates in the late stage of the experiment, demonstrating that HC repressed the succession from diatoms to dinoflagellates, a phenomenon observed during algal blooms in the East China Sea. HC did not significantly influence the primary production or biogenic silica contents of the phytoplankton assemblages. However, the HC treatments increased the abundance of viruses and heterotrophic bacteria, reflecting a refueling of nutrients for phytoplankton growth from virus-mediated cell lysis and bacterial degradation of organic matters. Conclusively, our results suggest that increasing CO 2 concentrations can modulate plankton structure including the succession of phytoplankton community and the abundance of viruses and bacteria in eutrophic coastal waters, which may lead to altered biogeochemical cycles of carbon and nutrients.

(Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Alicyclobacillus species inhabit diverse environments and have adapted to broad ranges of pH and temperature. However, their adaptive evolutions remain elusive, especially regarding the role of mobile genetic elements (MGEs). Here, we characterized the distributions and functions of MGEs in Alicyclobacillus species across five environments, including acid mine drainage (AMD), beverages, hot springs, sediments, and soils. Nine Alicyclobacillus strains were isolated from AMD and possessed larger genome sizes and more genes than those from other environments. Four AMD strains evolved to be mixotrophic and fell into distinctive clusters in phylogenetic tree. Four types of MGEs including genomic island (GI), insertion sequence (IS), prophage, and integrative and conjugative element (ICE) were widely distributed in Alicyclobacillus species. Further, AMD strains did not possess CRISPR‐Cas systems, but had more GI, IS, and ICE, as well as more MGE‐associated genes involved in the oxidation of iron and sulfide and the resistance of heavy metal and low temperature. These findings highlight the differences in phenotypes and genotypes between strains isolated from AMD and other environments and the important role of MGEs in rapid environment niche expansions.
