    Abstract Unsupervised learning algorithms can effectively solve sample imbalance. To address battery consistency anomalies in new energy vehicles, we adopt a variety of unsupervised learning algorithms to evaluate and predict the battery consistency of three vehicles using charging fragment data from actual operating conditions. We extract battery-related features, such as the mean of maximum difference, standard deviation, and entropy of batteries and then apply principal component analysis to reduce the dimensionality and record the amount of preserved information. We then build models through a collection of unsupervised learning algorithms for the anomaly detection of cell consistency faults. We also determine whether unsupervised and supervised learning algorithms can address the battery consistency problem and document the parameter tuning process. In addition, we compare the prediction effectiveness of charging and discharging features modeled individually and in combination, determine the choice of charging and discharging features to be modeled in combination, and visualize the multidimensional data for fault detection. Experimental results show that the unsupervised learning algorithm is effective in visualizing and predicting vehicle core conformance faults, and can accurately predict faults in real time. The “distance+boxplot” algorithm shows the best performance with a prediction accuracy of 80%, a recall rate of 100%, and an F1 of 0.89. The proposed approach can be applied to monitor battery consistency faults in real time and reduce the possibility of disasters arising from consistency faults.

    Abstract Soybean red crown rot (RCR) is caused by the soilborne fungal pathogen Calonectria ilicicola. It causes root rot, leaf senescence, early defoliation, plant wilting and even death, often resulting in a severe reduction in seed yield and quality. C. ilicicola is an extremely difficult pathogen to control owing to its wide host range and long survival in soil and plant debris. Currently, no practically effective fungicide for this pathogen is available. Breeding for resistance is considered the most effective and environmentally acceptable means of disease management, but no C. ilicicola‐resistant soybean variety has yet been identified. Given this situation, it is necessary to promote our understanding of the mechanism of RCR incidence and the development of a comprehensive and sustainable RCR management strategy urgently.

    Abstract Oxidative stress, resulting from the excessive production of reactive oxygen species, is a common and major cause of cellular damage in plants exposed to various abiotic stresses. To address this challenge, we introduce the concept of antioxidant agriculture as a comprehensive strategy to improve stress tolerance and thus crop productivity by minimizing oxidative stress levels in the field environment. This strategy encompasses a diverse range of approaches, including genetic engineering, the exogenous application of antioxidant agents, microbial inoculation, and agronomic practices, to reinforce the plant's intrinsic antioxidant defense system and mitigate oxidative stress. We present recent successful studies of antioxidant measures that have been validated in field conditions, along with our perspective on achieving antioxidant agriculture.

    Abstract Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the main diseases of metabolic syndrome. With the increasing popularity of NAFLD in the world, the prevention and therapy of NAFLD are facing great challenges. In recent years, scholars at home and abroad have carried out a large number of studies on NAFLD, but its pathogenesis is still unclear. Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is caused by the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins. In response to ERS, cells help restore normal endoplasmic reticulum function by initiating a protective mechanism known as the unfolded protein response (UPR). Abnormal accumulation of lipids in hepatocytes, aggravated inflammatory response, increased apoptosis of hepatocytes and insulin resistance (IR) are the main pathogenic factors and characteristics of NAFLD, which are closely related to hepatic ERS. A large number of studies have shown that exercise, as a low-cost treatment, can prevent and improve NAFLD effectively, and its mechanism is related to exercise regulating the level of ERS. This paper reviews the research progress on the mechanism of exercise improving NAFLD from the point of view of ERS. The mechanism of exercise improving NAFLD is related to the regulation of hepatocyte lipid metabolism, alleviation of inflammatory reaction, reduction of hepatocyte apoptosis and improvement of IR through regulating ERS.

    Abstract Population genomic data could provide valuable information for conservation efforts; however, limited studies have been conducted to investigate the genetic status of threatened pheasants. Reeves's Pheasant (Syrmaticus reevesii) is facing population decline, attributed to increases in habitat loss. There is a knowledge gap in understanding the genomic status and genetic basis underlying the local adaptation of this threatened bird. Here, we used population genomic data to assess population structure, genetic diversity, inbreeding patterns, and genetic divergence. Furthermore, we identified candidate genes linked with adaptation across the current distribution of Reeves's Pheasant. The present study assembled the first de novo genome sequence of Reeves's Pheasant and annotated 19,458 genes. We also sequenced 30 individuals from three populations (Dabie Mountain, Shennongjia, Qinling Mountain) and found that there was clear population structure among those populations. By comparing with other threatened species, we found that Reeves's Pheasants have low genetic diversity. Runs of homozygosity suggest that the Shennongjia population has experienced serious inbreeding. The demographic history results indicated that three populations experienced several declines during the glacial period. Local adaptative analysis among the populations identified 241 candidate genes under directional selection. They are involved in a large variety of processes, including the immune response and pigmentation. Our results suggest that the three populations should be considered as three different conservation units. The current study provides genetic evidence for conserving the threatened Reeves's Pheasant and provides genomic resources for global biodiversity management.

    Abstract Neural networks have become one of the most popularly used methods in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Due to the universal approximation theorem (Hornik et al., 1989), a neural network with one hidden layer can approximate any continuous function on compact support as long as the number of hidden units is sufficiently large. Statistically, a neural network can be classified into a nonlinear regression framework. However, if we consider it parametrically, due to the unidentifiability of the parameters, it is difficult to derive its asymptotic properties. Instead, we consider the estimation problem in a nonparametric regression framework and use the results from sieve estimation to establish the consistency, the rates of convergence and the asymptotic normality of the neural network estimators. We also illustrate the validity of the theories via simulations.

    Abstract Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a chronic disease causing motor and sensory loss in the affected individuals. The SCI has a huge impact on the lives of patients that makes them susceptible to life-long disability. However, the current clinical modalities are ineffective to cope the aftermath of SCI. Thus, in the present study, we aimed to develop a series of 1,3,5-triazine derivatives as a protective agent against SCI. The molecules were developed by facile synthetic route and obtained in excellent yield. The compounds were tested for their efficacy to inhibit the transcription of NF-κB in RAW 264.7 cells, where they displayed mild to potent activity. Compound 8a was identified as most potent NF-κB inhibitor among the tested analogues. The effect of compound 8a was further scrutinized against the SCI injury in rats induced by contusion injury. It has been found that compound 8a improves motor function of rats together with reduction in inflammation and edema in spinal cord of rats. It also showed to inhibit oxidative stress and inflammation in the SCI rats. In a western blot analysis, after SCI induction, compound 8a inhibited NF-κB and its upstream regulator TLR4 in a dose-dependent manner. Collectively, our study provides a novel class of agent that provide protective action against SCI.
