    Abstract Organophosphate esters (OPEs), extensively used as flame retardants, are widely detected in various regions and environments. The potential toxicity of OPEs has caused great concern in recent years. Based on the global distillation model, the Tien Shan glaciers, such as Urumqi Glacier No. 1, could be as a potential "sink" for OPEs. However, little is known about the concentration, distribution, potential sources, and ecological risks of OPEs in Tien Shan glaciers. In this study, fresh snow samples were collected at various altitudes on the Urumqi Glacier No. 1, eastern Tien Shan, China. The total concentrations of ten OPEs (Σ

    Abstract Document digitization is essential for the digital transformation of our societies, yet a crucial step in the process, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), is still not perfect. Even commercial OCR systems can produce questionable output depending on the fidelity of the scanned documents. In this paper, we demonstrate an effective framework for mitigating OCR errors for any downstream NLP task, using Named Entity Recognition (NER) as an example. We first address the data scarcity problem for model training by constructing a document synthesis pipeline, generating realistic but degraded data with NER labels. We measure the NER accuracy drop at various degradation levels and show that a text restoration model, trained on the degraded data, significantly closes the NER accuracy gaps caused by OCR errors, including on an out-of-domain dataset. For the benefit of the community, we have made the document synthesis pipeline available as an open-source project.

    Abstract This paper uses a 10 years monitoring data set of 100 counties to examine the process, implementation and impacts of China’s Conversion of Cropland to Forests Program (CCFP). A theoretical framework was constructed to explain the development of CCFG. We find that CCFG was originate from economic growth and will fulfill its goal by economic growth as it closely linked with rural poverty; Constrains such as income decline will finally be solved along with policy adjustment and economic growth; Huge amount of subsidies had been successfully delivered to farmers under strong administration and innovative policy; due to incentive incompatibility between farmers’ private interests and public benefit, we assume that CCFG only achieved second best ecological goals, but a better sustainability. The policy still faces many uncertainties due to climate change, rural development progress, et al.

    Abstract Acute toxicity and immunoprotection of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) ApxI toxin recombinant proteins (include crude inclusion bodies and refolded recombinant protein) were evaluated in mice, and compared with the natural ApxI extracted from culture supernatant of APP serotype 10. In the acute toxicity experiment, the three proteins were intraperitoneally injected into Kunming mice in a dose of 200microg per mouse. The body and organ weight, heamatological and biochemical indexes were examined at 24h, 7 days and 14 days post administration. There was no death after the intraperitoneal administration of the three proteins, and no significant change was found in the body weight, organ indexes, heamatological and biochemical indexes. To study their immunoprotection, the three proteins were emulsified with Freund's adjuvant respectively and vaccinated the mice twice with a 2-week of interval. Two weeks after the second vaccination, the mice were challenged intraperitoneally with a lethal dose of APP serotype 10 (1.09 x 10(8) cfu), and serums were examined by an ApxI-specific ELISA. The results revealed that the recombinant protein had a good immunogenicity and could induce protection immune reaction.

    Abstract Apx IV, a forth RTX toxin indentified in Actionbacillus pleuropneumoniae recently, is expressed by all A. pleuropneumoniae regardless the serotypes and inducible only in vivo toxin, so it is the optimal to develop species-specific and differentiated diagnostic assay. Here the 2445bp DNA fragment of apxIVA gene of A. pleuroneumoniae was amplified and fused in-frame to the downstream of the T7 promoter and 6 His Tag of the prokaryotic expression vector pET-28b. The construct was transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3). After induction by 1.0 mol/L IPTG, a recombinant protein about 90 kD in size, designed as ApxIVAN, was detected, which was present as inclusion bodies and reacted specifically with swine antisera to the APP-serotype-1 by dot-blot. An indirect ELISA (ApxIVA-ELISA) was developed using purified recombinant ApxIVAN from the inclusion bodies as described previously, which had excellent specificity to A. pleuroneunoniae. Using the ApxIVA-ELISA, the ApxIV antibodies were not detected in the inactivated APP bacterins vaccinated pigs, but were detected in A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 1, 2 and 7 infected pigs and mice. These results suggested that ApxIVA-ELISA can be used not only to detect all serotypes of APP, but also to differentiate the naturally infected and inactivated vaccine immunized pigs.
