    Abstract The current social situation is that the rapid development of science and technology has brought about rapid economic growth, but the wanton development of ecological environmental resources, resulted in environmental deterioration, so that human survival faces major challenges. This is not only the current state of life but also an urgent problem that people will work together to solve. Therefore, in order to cultivate environmental awareness, make students intuitively and clearly understand the benign operation of ecological environment and the close relationship between people and the environment, this paper designs and studies the existing information technology to design biology teaching on the basis of the sustainable development of ecological environment and encourages students to strengthen the protection of the environment. This paper studied and designed the practical inquiry, analysis, and questionnaire survey. The experimental results show that the students in information technology teaching perform better than the traditional students, which can stimulate students’ enthusiasm, arouse their interest in learning, and deepen students’ understanding. The number of outstanding students increased by 5, and the number of failed students decreased by 8. The research significance of this paper is to provide new teaching design ideas for the existing biology teaching mode so that the development of information technology can benefit biology teaching.

    Abstract It is of great theoretical and practical significance to achieve high-quality development that promotes the transformation of digestion, absorption, and re-innovation to an independent innovation model, actively participating in the restructuring of the industrial chain, and enhancing the status of the Yangtze River Delta in the global innovation chain. This study constructs a tripartite evolutionary game model of collaborative innovation led by the government, participated by upstream enterprises and downstream enterprises. Moreover, this article analyzes the strategic choices of the tripartite entities in the process of collaborative innovation, and the simulation analyzes the influencing factors of the government, upstream enterprises, and downstream enterprises’ collaborative innovation strategy selection. The results indicate that the government, upstream enterprises, and downstream enterprises have different degrees of influence on each other’s willingness to participate. In addition, the analysis proves that government policy support and financial support have different impacts on upstream enterprises and downstream enterprises.

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to employ bibliometric approaches to assess the worldwide scientific achievements in acupuncture for facial paralysis research from 2013 to 2023, and explore the hotspots and frontiers. Methods: Articles related to acupuncture facial paralysis were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). CiteSpace was utilized to examine journals, publication year, country, institution, cited authors, as well as authors.Research hotspots and trends were analyzed by mapping co-citation networks and keywords. Results: The period from January 1, 2013, to July 31, 2023, yielded nearly 145 research records on acupuncture treatment for facial paralysis, with a steady increase in the number of annual publications.In terms of the number of publications, OTOLARYNGOLOGY HEAD NECK had the highest publication count, while AM J CHINESE MED exhibited the highest centrality and citation frequency among the cited journals. Further, 54.4 % of publications originated from China, followed by USA (8.2 %) and Germany (8.2 %). Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine stood out with the highest publication volume among institutions. Guntinas-lichius, Orlando was the most prolific author, and PEITERSEN E was the most cited author. The keywords ''Randomized controlled trials'' and ''multicenter'' displayed high frequency and centrality, indicating that clinical trials with a randomized controlled design and multicenter studies were prevalent research methods, likely to remain a future trend. Conclusion: Acupuncture's potential in the treatment of facial paralysis merits further research. Authors from different countries/regions and organizations need to eliminate language and academic barriers and strengthen collaboration and communication. Current research hotspots focus on “brain”, “nerve”, “electrical stimulation”, “RCT” and “guidelines”. The study of acupuncture mechanisms, especially based on the central nervous system mechanism, may be the future research hotspot.

    Abstract: Three new species, Pseudocandona cheni sp. nov., Cyclocypris pangi sp. nov., and Tonnacypris rectangularis sp. nov., collected from northern China, are described in this study. Pseudocandona cheni, of the compressa group, is difficult to be distinguished ...

    Abstract Three new species, Pseudocandona cheni sp. nov., Cyclocypris pangi sp. nov., and Tonnacypris rectangularis sp. nov., collected from northern China, are described in this study. Pseudocandona cheni, of the compressa group, is difficult to be distinguished from other members of the same group by carapace morphology alone, but can be readily recognised by the structure of the hemipenis comprised of a long lobe a, distally inflated lobe h, and exteriorly pointed lobe b, as well as thick trunks of the male fifth limb endopodites. Cyclocypris pangi, despite its similarity in carapace morphology to its congeners, can be identified based on the morphology of the hemipenis, which bears a slender, slightly curved lobe h, and an S-shaped process accompanying lobe b, in addition to the rectangular trunk of the male fifth limb endopodite. On the other hand, Tonnacypris rectangularis, described on the basis of females only, can be distinguished from other Tonnacypris Diebel & Pietrzeniuk, 1975 representatives by its distinct sub-rectangular carapace alone. Other differences include the length of the swimming setae, the length of the distal claws on the second antennae, and the morphology of the pincer organ on the seventh limb. This study contributes to the poorly known extant non-marine ostracod fauna of Inner Mongolia and Beijing, and generally to the central-eastern Palaearctic region. In addition, the known distribution range of Tonnacypris is extended eastwardly by T. rectangularis. The valve-morphology data are useful for identifying fossil/sub-fossil representatives.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate high-fat diet-induced obesity-triggered testicular cell senescence and endoplasmic reticulum stress.
    Methods: We randomly and equally divided 10 four-week-old male C57BL/6J mice into a control and a high-fat group, the former fed with a diet of 10% fat content while the latter with a diet of 60% fat content to establish an obesity model. After eight weeks of feeding, we observed the pathological changes in the testis tissue of the mice by HE staining, detected the serum T content by ELISA, measured the telomere length in the testis cells by RT-PCR, and examined the activity of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) by histochemical staining. Using RT-qPCR and Western blot, we determined the protein and mRNA expressions of the cell senescence markers p16 and p21 as well as the protein expressions of the endoplasmic reticulum stress markers GRP78 and CHOP in the testis tissue.
    Results: Compared with the controls, the animals of the high-fat group showed a 45% increase in the body weight, disordered structure of the spermatogenic cells, reduced level of serum T and shortened telomere length of the testis cells (P < 0.01). The mRNA and protein expressions of p16 and p21 were dramatically higher in the high-fat than in the control group (P<0.01), so were the intracellular SA-β-gal activity and the protein expressions of CHOP and GRP78 (P<0.01).
    Conclusion: High-fat diet-induced obesity triggers testicular cell senescence and endoplasmic reticulum stress in male mice.

    Abstract Soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil inorganic carbon (SIC) has important effects on soil physical, chemical and biological properties. They play an important role in coordinating the relationship between soil water and air, increasing soil water holding capacity and improving plant productivity. In this study, a boosted regression trees (BRT) model was developed to map the spatial distribution carbon stocks in the semi-arid region of Northeast China in 1990 and 2015. During the two periods, 10-fold cross-validation technology was used to test the performance and uncertainty of BRT model. In order to construct the model, 9 environmental variables (derived from climate, topography and biology) and 173 (1990) and 223 (2015) topsoil (0–30 cm) samples were used. The comparison between estimated and observed data shows that the RMSE of SOC and SIC stocks were 0.53 kgm−2 and 0.19 kgm−2 in 1990, and 0.65 kgm−2 and 0.20 kgm−2 in 2015, respectively. Elevation, normalized difference vegetation index, mean annual precipitation and Landsat band 3 were identifies as critical environmental factors for simulating the spatial distribution of SOC, accounting for 76.6 % and 70.3 % of the total relative importance in 1990 and 2015, respectively. Mean annual precipitation, mean annual temperature and topographic wetness index were the critical environmental factors for simulating the spatial variation of SIC during the two periods. Land use change also played an important role in the spatial variability of SOC and SIC stocks. In the past 25 years, soil carbon stocks decreased from 6.2 kg m−2 in 1990 to 5.9 kg m−2 in 2015. The spatial distribution pattern of SOC was high in northeastern area and low in southwestern area during the two periods, while the spatial distribution pattern of SIC was opposite to that of SOC stocks. The mapped soil carbon stock distribution is fundamental to future study of soil carbon cycle and regional carbon balance in semi-arid regions.

    Abstract Noise-induced population bursting has been widely identified to play important roles in information processes. We construct a mathematical model for a random and sparse heterogeneous neural network where bursting can be induced from a resting state by a global stochastic stimulus. Importantly, the noise-induced bursting dynamics of this network are mediated by calcium conductance. We use two spectral measures to evaluate network coherence in the context of the network bursts, the spike trains of all neurons, and the individual bursts of all neurons. Our results show that the coherence of the network is optimized by an optimal level of the stochastic stimulus, which is known as coherence resonance (CR). We also demonstrate that the interplay of the calcium conductance and noise intensity can modify the degree of CR.

    Abstract Due to the widespread use of heavy machinery, improper soil tillage practices, and insufficient soil organic materials input, soil compaction has become a major issue affecting soil function in modern agriculture and the sustainability of the environment. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the responses of soil mechanical parameters to soil water content and soil organic matter content (SOM), and to investigate the physical properties of nine disturbed soils in a black soil region in Northeast China. The soil samples were capillary saturated and subjected to 6, 10, 100, 600, and 800 kPa soil water suction (SWS), and pre-compression stress (σ p ), compression index (C c ), and decompression index (D c ) were measured. SWS and SOM, and their interaction, significantly influenced the mechanical parameters. σ p increased with an increase in SWS until 600 kPa, while D c exhibited an opposite trend with an increase in SWS. C c had a peak value at SWS of 100 kPa. All mechanical parameter values were higher under high SOM than under low SOM. σ p , C c , and D c were influenced variably by different soil physicochemical factors. Structural equation modeling results revealed that soil mechanical parameters were directly and indirectly influenced by soil texture and mean weight diameter of aggregates, in addition to SOM and SWS. According to the results of the present study, based on soil mechanical and physical properties, increasing SOM and ensuring suitable soil water content during tillage could be applied as management strategies to minimize further soil compaction and improve soil resilience, and thus promote the sustainable development of agriculture in Northeast China.

    Abstract Touch technology-based smart homes have become increasingly prevalent, as they can help people with independent daily life, especially for the elderly. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of button features (i.e., button size, graphics/text ratio, and icon style) in smart home interfaces on user performance across two age groups. Participants in the young group ( n = 15) and senior group ( n = 15) completed a clicking task. Button size ranged from 10 mm to 25 mm with 5 mm increments. The three levels of graphics/text ratio were 3:1, 1:1, and 1:3, while icon style was either flat or skeuomorphic. Results showed that button size and graphics/text ratio had significant effects on user performance in both groups, whereas icon style only had an effect in the senior group. It was observed that the elderly were fond of buttons with a larger size of 20 mm with larger texts and skeuomorphic icons, whereas the young preferred a button size of 15 mm with equal-sized graphics and text. These results may help to improve the accessibility and usability of smart home interface design.
