    Abstract Immense amounts of ancient (radiocarbon age over 200 years) organic carbon (OC) from permafrost are released into aquatic systems. Ancient terrestrial OC exists in numerous aquatic ecosystems. It has been reported that ancient OC can be incorporated by consumers in aquatic ecosystems, but the effect of ancient OC on the growth of consumers has rarely been studied. In this study, we extracted ancient dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from frozen soils in an alpine lake catchment. After a 6-day microbial conversion period, the contents of ω3 and ω6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in ancient DOC increased. Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria were the primary taxa consuming the permafrost DOC and generating fatty acids. In addition to the exclusive diet of soil DOC (containing bacteria) or Chlorella pyrenoidosa, mixed diets of Chlorella pyrenoidosa, and ancient DOC (containing bacteria) in ratios of 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2 (by carbon concentration) were used to feed Daphnia magna. We discovered that Daphnia reared on the mixture with the DOC:Chlorella ratio of 1:2 had the highest contents of ω3 PUFAs and FAs. Daphnia reared exclusively on Chlorella and the mixture with the DOC:Chlorella ratio of 1:2 had the largest body size (3.1-3.4 mm) and the highest offspring production (95.5-96.2 ind

    Abstract The use of taste agents to regulate the grazing behavior of livestock is a new attempt in pasture management, but the effects on grassland plant communities are not clear at present. Therefore, the following scientific questions need to be addressed: (1) how do different taste agents affected plant community structure by changing feed intake? (2) What was the mechanism of this effect? We proposed the following hypotheses: (1) Salt and sweetener increased feed intake of livestock and decreased the biomass of plant community, while bitters did the opposite. (2) Taste agents can regulate the relationship between plant species, and different taste agents can enhance or weaken the competitiveness of the different plants. In order to test the hypothesis, a grazing experiment with yaks was conducted in the alpine meadows of the Tibetan Plateau. Denatonium benzoate (Bitterant), NaCl (Salt), and sodium cyclamate (Sweetener) were sprayed onto the meadows twice a year, along with a control treatment of tap water. The results showed that (1) Salt increased the feed intake of yak significantly; bitterant decreased the feed intake of livestock and increased the biomass of plant community. (2) Salt increased the Pielou index of the plant community significantly. (3) The stability of plant community ranking from high to low is as follows: Control > Bitterant > Sweetener > Salt. (4) Bitterant and salt improved grazing tolerance of grassland and salt reduced the edibility of grassland. (5) The use of taste agents reduced the correlation between dominant species and led to the fragmentation of the relationship chain. The results of this study will provide a theoretical basis for using taste agents to regulate the community, species biodiversity management, restoration of degraded grassland, promoting utilization of grassland though controlling livestock selectivity.

    Abstract This paper deals with the secure control problem for a class of networked stochastic systems with false data injection attacks via an integral sliding mode control technique. The networked control system is with a hierarchical structure, and the main controller and a remote controller are considered to realize the secure control against false data injection attacks on the network between a main controller and the plant. A mode-shared event-triggering controller is designed as the main controller, by utilizing a time delay approach. An input-output model based on a two-term approximation is applied to cope with the formulated time-varying delay. Then, the scaled small gain theory is employed to analyze the stability of the resulting system. Sufficient conditions on ensuring the desired system performance are derived and then the controller parameters are synthesized. Moreover, an elaborated sliding mode control law is proposed for the desired secure control action. Finally, two simulation examples are permitted to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical derivations.

    Abstract The pathological misfolding and aggregation of the microtubule associated protein tau (MAPT), a full length Tau2N4R with 441aa, is considered the principal disease relevant constituent in tauopathies including Alzheimer's disease (AD) with an imbalanced ratio in 3R/4R isoforms. The exact cellular fluid composition, properties, and changes that coincide with tau misfolding, seed formation, and propagation events remain obscure. The proteostasis network, along with the associated osmolytes, is responsible for maintaining the presence of tau in its native structure or dealing with misfolding. In this study, for the first time, the roles of natural brain osmolytes are being investigated for their potential effects on regulating the conformational stability of the tau monomer (tauM) and its propensity to aggregate or disaggregate. Herein, the effects of physiological osmolytes myo-inositol, taurine, trimethyl amine oxide (TMAO), betaine, sorbitol, glycerophosphocholine (GPC), and citrulline on tau's aggregation state were investigated. The overall results indicate the ability of sorbitol and GPC to maintain the monomeric form and prevent aggregation of tau, whereas myo-inositol, taurine, TMAO, betaine, and citrulline promote tau aggregation to different degrees, as revealed by protein morphology in atomic force microscopy images. Biochemical and biophysical methods also revealed that tau proteins adopt different conformations under the influence of these osmolytes. TauM in the presence of all osmolytes expressed no toxicity when tested by a lactate dehydrogenase assay. Investigating the conformational stability of tau in the presence of osmolytes may provide a better understanding of the complex nature of tau aggregation in AD and the protective and/or chaotropic nature of osmolytes.

    Abstract A direct protocol for Rh-catalyzed C-H amidation of ferrocenes in a ball mill using dioxazolones as the amide source under solvent-free conditions was developed. The corresponding ortho-aminated products were formed in 3 hours and the yields were up to 99% in the absence of base. This method could be a typically sustainable and environmental-friendly alternative method to traditional methodologies, with the advantages of wide substrate range, good functional group tolerance and gram-scale synthesis.

    Abstract Heterogeneous protease biosensors show high sensitivity and selectivity but usually require the immobilization of peptide substrates on a solid interface. Such methods exhibit the disadvantages of complex immobilization steps and low enzymatic efficiency induced by steric hindrance. In this work, we proposed an immobilization-free strategy for protease detection with high simplicity, sensitivity and selectivity. Specifically, a single-labeled peptide with oligohistidine-tag (His-tag) was designed as the protease substrate, which can be captured by a nickel ion-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA)-conjugated magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) through the coordination interaction between His-tag and Ni-NTA. When the peptide was digested by protease in a homogeneous solution, the signal-labeled segment was released from the substrate. The unreacted peptide substrates could be removed by Ni-NTA-MNP, and the released segments remained in solution to emit strong fluorescence. The method was used to determine protease of caspase-3 with a low detection limit (4 pg/mL). By changing the peptide sequence and signal reporters, the proposal could be used to develop novel homogeneous biosensors for the detection of other proteases.

    Abstract Airborne particles can spread quickly and enter human respiratory system via inhalation, causing chronic diseases, even cancer. Although recent studies have informed of toxicity of various pollutants, understanding the transport and deposition characteristics of particles in lower respiratory tract is still challenging. The current study proposes a novel model to simulate flow field change from the entrance of lower respiratory tract to pulmonary acinus, while studying particle transport and deposition characteristics. This model for lower respiratory tract with several bronchial extensions containing virtual pulmonary acinus is calculated using computational fluid dynamics and dynamics mesh. The results showed that in the first 10 generations of the lower respiratory tract, vortices and gravity interfered with particles' trajectory, affecting particle deposition distribution. For the first to the tenth-generation respiratory tract, coarse particles were deposited throughout almost the whole respiratory tract model. In contrast, ultrafine particles did not deposit in the higher-generation respiratory tract. The particle enrichment ability of various lobes was uneven with three particle deposition fraction variation patterns. Virtual pulmonary acinus influenced particle deposition and distribution because of vortex ring's trapped ability during expansion and contraction. This new attempt to build a virtual pulmonary acinus model to simulate particle deposition effects in human respiratory system may provide a reference for studying the toxicities of inhalable particles in the exposed human body.
