    Abstract To date, various studies have analyzed changes in the landscape but there are few studies which have explored landscape processes and the corresponding driving factors. This study makes up for this deficiency in the systematic theoretical exposition and the spatiotemporal analysis of landscape processes. The results show that the amount of arable land outflow and built-up land inflow have resulted in an increase of 92,311.11 ha of built-up land that is mostly distributed around the administrative center and along the coast of Jiaozhou Bay. The outflow of ecological land is a major resource for replenishing arable land, by 37,016.19 ha, especially in terms of the grassland that is distributed in the hilly areas west of Jiaozhou Bay. The outflow of the salt-field, fish-farm and ecological land outflow have good connectivity, a large patch size, and an irregular shape. The ecological type, elevation, slope, and vegetation coverage are the four factors that have a great influence on all landscape processes. A gentler slope and lower elevation, and proximity to cities and towns land will produce more arable land outflow and built-up land inflow. However, arable land inflow and ecological land outflow are the opposite. This research will guide natural resource management for a rapidly developing coastal zone.

    Abstract Objective To investigate the effect of protein kinase C (PKC) β inhibitor on the renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI) in rat models and detect the expression level of macrophage subtypes. Methods Eighteen healthy SD male rats were randomly divided into the Sham operation group (Sham group, n =6), RIRI group ( n =6), PKCβ inhibitor +RIRI group (Inhibitor+RIRI group, n =6). Serum and left renal tissue samples were collected at postoperative 24 h. The contents of serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer. The infiltration of inflammatory cells and pathological injury in the renal tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The expression levels of CD68, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and CD206 proteins in the renal tissues of rats in each group were assessed by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Results The contents of serum Scr and BUN in the RIRI group were significantly higher than those in the Sham group (both P < 0.05). The contents of serum Scr and BUN in the Inhibitor+RIRI group were considerably lower than those in the RIRI group (both P < 0.05). No obvious renal injury was noted in the Sham group, whereas renal inflammatory cell infiltration and renal tubular structural damage were observed in the RIRI group. The renal inflammatory cell infiltration and renal tubular structural damage in the Inhibitor+RIRI group was slighter than that in the RIRI group. The protein expression levels of CD68, iNOS and CD206 in the renal tissue of rats in the RIRI group were significantly higher than those in the Sham group (all P < 0.05). The protein expression levels of CD68 and iNOS in the Inhibitor+RIRI group were remarkably lower than those in the RIRI group (all P < 0.05). The expression level of CD206 protein in the Inhibitor+RIRI group was significantly higher than that in the RIRI group ( P < 0.05). Conclusions PKC β inhibitor can alleviate the RIRI in rat models to certain extent, which may be correlated with the role of PKC β inhibitor in mitigating inflammatory cell infiltration in ischemic renal tissues and promoting the expression of alternatively activated macrophage

    Abstract The State Council of the People’s Republic of China issued the National Territory Spatial Planning Outline (2016–2030), which is a fundamental guide and blueprint for China to achieve its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Based on its sustainable-city initiatives, this paper establishes a “four-space (4S)” assessment framework, and measured the urban development quality (UDQ) of 336 cities in China. Then we analyzed the spatial patterns of UDQ, and identified the main obstacles. Our results show that there is considerable room for improvement in UDQ in China. The spatial pattern of UDQ shows that the eastern economic zone score is higher than the western score and the northern lower than the southern. The spatial efficiency, structure, and quality in Chinese cities have significant hierarchical structure, while the form pattern is complicated. The most important obstacle to China’s high-quality development is spatial efficiency. The most significant limiting indicator is the industrial structure, followed by land output level and land consumption per unit GDP. Our findings help enhance the effectiveness of National Territory Spatial Planning policy implementation and guide China’s urban planning and management to achieve sustainability.

    Abstract Visual-motor tracking movement is a common and essential behavior in daily life. However, the contribution of future information to visual-motor tracking performance is not well understood in current research. In this study, the visual-motor tracking performance with and without future-trajectories was compared. Meanwhile, three task demands were designed to investigate their impact. Eighteen healthy young participants were recruited and instructed to track a target on a screen by stretching/flexing their elbow joint. The kinematic signals (elbow joint angle) and surface electromyographic (EMG) signals of biceps and triceps were recorded. The normalized integrated jerk (NIJ) and fuzzy approximate entropy (fApEn) of the joint trajectories, as well as the multiscale fuzzy approximate entropy (MSfApEn) values of the EMG signals, were calculated. Accordingly, the NIJ values with the future-trajectory were significantly lower than those without future-trajectory ( p -value < 0.01). The smoother movement with future-trajectories might be related to the increasing reliance of feedforward control. When the task demands increased, the fApEn values of joint trajectories increased significantly, as well as the MSfApEn of EMG signals ( p -value < 0.05). These findings enrich our understanding about visual-motor control with future information.

    Abstract The contamination of arable land with heavy metals, such as Cd, is a serious concern worldwide. Intercropping with Cd accumulators can be used for efficient safe crop production and phytoremediation of Cd-contaminated soil. However, the effect of intercropping on Cd uptake by main crops and accumulators varies among plant combinations. Rhizosphere interaction may mediate Cd uptake by intercropped plants, but the mechanism is unclear. Thus, in the present study, we aimed to examine the effect of rhizosphere interaction on Cd uptake by intercropping rice (Oryza sativa L.) with mugwort (Artemisia argyi Levl. et Vant.) in Cd-contaminated paddy soil. We grew O. sativa and A. argyi in pots designed to allow different levels of interaction: complete root interaction (no barrier), partial root interaction (nylon mesh barrier), and no root interaction (plastic film barrier). Our results indicated that both complete and partial root interaction increased the shoot and root mass of A. argyi, but did not decrease the shoot, root, and grain mass of O. sativa. Interspecific root interaction significantly increased the Cd content in the shoots, roots, and grains of O. sativa and the shoots of A. argyi. Increased content of total organic acids in the rhizosphere, which increased the content of available Cd, was a possible mechanism of increased Cd uptake in both plants under interspecific root interaction. Our findings demonstrate that an intercropping system can extract more Cd from contaminated soil than a monocropping system of either A. argyi or O. sativa. However, the intercropping system did not facilitate safe crop production because it substantially increased grain Cd content in O. sativa.

    Abstract For the accuracy requirements of commodity image detection and classification, the FPN network is improved by DPFM ablation and RFM, so as to improve the detection accuracy of commodities by the network. At the same time, in view of the narrowing of channels in the application of traditional MWI-DenseNet network, a new GTNet network is proposed to improve the classification accuracy of commodities.The results show that at different levels of evaluation indexes, the dpFPN-Netv2 algorithm improved by DPFM + RFM fusion has higher target detection accuracy than RetinaNet-50 algorithm and other algorithms. And the detection time is 52 ms, which is significantly lower than 90 ms required for RetinaNet-50 detection. In terms of target recognition, compared with the traditional MWI-DenseNet neural network, the computation amount of the improved MWI DenseNet neural network is significantly reduced under different shunt ratios, and the recognition accuracy is significantly improved. The innovation of this study lies in improving the algorithm from the perspective of target detection and recognition, so as to change the previous improvement that only can be made in a single way.

The room temperature blackbody radiation (BBR) and interaction between Rydberg atoms can enhance the decay rate and reduce the spontaneous lifetime of the given Rydberg atom. The measured lifetime shows a good agreement with the calculation accounting a room temperature BBR at low enough Rydberg atomic density. The dependence of measured lifetime on atomic density shows that the collision and interaction between Rydberg atoms have a large effect on the lifetime at higher Rydberg atomic density.

    Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by a long-term loss of kidney function and, in most cases, by progressive fibrosis. Zinc-alpha2-glycoprotein (AZGP1) is a secreted protein, which is expressed in many different tissues and has been associated with a variety of functions. In a previous study, we have shown in cell culture and in AZGP1 deficient mice that AZGP1 has protective anti-fibrotic effects. In the present study, we tested the therapeutic potential of an experimental increase in AZGP1 using two different strategies. (1) C57Bl/6J mice were treated systemically with recombinant AZGP1, and (2) a transgenic mouse strain was generated to overexpress AZGP1 conditionally in proximal tubular cells. Mice underwent unilateral uretic obstruction as a pro-fibrotic kidney stress model, and kidneys were examined after 14 days. Recombinant AZGP1 treatment was accompanied by better preservation of tubular integrity, reduced collagen deposition, and lower expression of injury and fibrosis markers. Weaker but similar tendencies were observed in transgenic AZGP1 overexpressing mice. Higher AZGP1 levels led to a significant reduction in stress-induced accumulation of tubular lipid droplets, which was paralleled by improved expression of key players in lipid metabolism and fatty acid oxidation. Together these data show beneficial effects of elevated AZGP1 levels in fibrotic kidney disease and highlight a novel link to tubular cell lipid metabolism, which might open up new opportunities for CKD treatment.
