    Abstract In 2011, China implemented tougher driving-under-the-influence laws, which criminalized driving under the influence of alcohol for the first time and increased penalties. This paper provides the first comprehensive analysis of the effects of stricter drinking policies on men's smoking behavior by using data from the 2010 and 2012 waves of the China Family Panel Studies. The results show that stricter drinking policies reduced smoking initiation and the number of cigarettes smoked per day among men by reducing the frequency and quantity of alcohol consumption. Heterogeneity analyses show that the impact of the policy is more pronounced not only for men aged 41-55, but also for men who have higher educational qualifications, who are employed, or who are not members of the Communist Party.

    Abstract In this article, we address the problem of estimating fluid flows between two adjacent images containing fluid and non-fluid objects. Typically, traditional optical flow estimation methods lack accuracy, because of the highly deformable nature of fluid, the lack of definitive features, and the motion differences between fluid and non-fluid objects. Our approach captures fluid motions using an affine motion model for each small patch of an image. To obtain robust patch matches, we propose a best-buddies similarity-based method to address the lack of definitive features but many similar features in fluid phenomena. A dense set of affine motion models was then obtained by performing nearest-neighbor interpolation. Finally, dense fluid flow was recovered by applying the affine transformation to each patch and was improved by minimizing a variational energy function. Our method was validated using different types of fluid images. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves the best performance.

    Abstract This paper investigates the suppression of in-plane vibrations of a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) using the electromagnetic shunt tuned mass damper (EMSTMD), where the dashpot is replaced by a shunted electromagnetic (EM) transducer for improving performance and durability of the damper. A series resistive-capacitative-inductive (RCL) network is designed as the supplemental shunt for the EM transducer, which results in an additional resonance for performance improvement. A 17-degree-of-freedom (17-DOF) aero-hydro-servo-elastic model is established for the FOWT, which is used for performance evaluation of the EMSTMD in the time domain. A reduced-order 6-DOF model is then developed for the FOWT in-plane vibrations with EMSTMD mounted, accounting for rotor mass moment of inertia, stiffness from buoyancy and mooring lines, as well as hydrodynamic added mass. This model facilitates an efficient frequency-domain optimization procedure for the EMSTMD, taking into account uncertainties in the environmental conditions. The performance of the optimized EMSTMD is compared with that of the classic TMD in both frequency and time domains. It is shown that both EMSTMD and TMD effectively reduce tower side-side vibrations of FOWT, and also have lightly positive effect on the spar roll and blade edgewise vibrations. EMSTMD consistently outperforms TMD for all environmental conditions, at the cost of slightly increased absorber stroke.

    Abstract Multi-view microscopic fringe projection systems, which use high-resolution telecentric lenses and the Scheimpflug condition, face challenges in coinciding focal planes accurately, resulting in inconsistent measurements between views. In this Letter, we developed a sharpness evaluation function based on the total power of the line-spread function, which was subsequently used to generate a full-field sharpness distribution map. Then we employed the correlation between the sharpness map and orientation of the focal plane to precisely coincide the focal planes. Experimental results validate the proposed method and demonstrate its improved consistency in 3D reconstruction.

    Abstract In order to study the responses of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) WRKY TFs to bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, the most up-to-date genomes and transcriptional profiles were used to identify WRKY TFs in control and infected inbred lines. In total, 85 tomato WRKY TFs were identified and categorized into groups I, IIa + b, IIc, IId + e, and III. These WRKYs, especially those from group IIe, were mainly distributed at chromosome ends and in clusters. More than 45 % and 70 % of tomato WRKYs exhibited intraspecific and interspecific synteny, respectively. Nearly 60 % of tomato WRKYs (mainly in groups I and IIc) formed 73 pairs of orthologs with WRKYs in Arabidopsis and pepper, with Ka/Ks less than 1. Sixteen tomato WRKYs (mainly in groups IIa + b and IIc) responded strongly to biotic stress, and 12 differentially expressed WRKYs (mainly in groups III and IIb) were identified. RT-qPCR revealed that tomato WRKYs could respond to bacterial wilt through positive (predominant) or negative regulation. In particular, the interaction between Solyc03g095770.3 (group III) and Solyc09g014990.4 (group I) may play an important role. In brief, WRKY TFs were comprehensively identified in tomato and several bacterial wilt responsive genes were screened.

    Abstract A general feature of cancer is hypoxia, determined as low oxygen levels. Low oxygen levels may cause cells to alter in ways that contribute to tumor growth and resistance to treatment. Hypoxia leads to variations in cancer cell metabolism, angiogenesis and metastasis. Furthermore, a hypoxic tumor microenvironment might induce immunosuppression. Moreover, hypoxia has the potential to impact cellular processes, such as autophagy. Autophagy refers to the catabolic process by which damaged organelles and toxic macromolecules are broken down. The abnormal activation of autophagy has been extensively recorded in human tumors and it serves as a regulator of cell growth, spread to other parts of the body, and resistance to treatment. There is a correlation between hypoxia and autophagy in human malignancies. Hypoxia can regulate the activity of AMPK, mTOR, Beclin-1, and ATGs to govern autophagy in human malignancies. Furthermore, HIF-1α, serving as an indicator of low oxygen levels, controls the process of autophagy. Hypoxia-induced autophagy has a crucial role in regulating the growth, spread, and resistance to treatment in human malignancies. Hypoxia-induced regulation of autophagy can impact other mechanisms of cell death, such as apoptosis. Chemoresistance and radioresistance have become significant challenges in recent years. Hypoxia-mediated autophagy plays a crucial role in determining the response to these therapeutic treatments.
