    Abstract Simultaneous enantioseparation of three commonly used chiral antifungal pesticides (diniconazole, hexaconazole, and imazalil) was first studied based on micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) with hydroxypropyl-γ-CD (HP-γ-CD) as chiral selector. In this study, the importance of experimental parameters such as chiral selector type and concentration, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) concentration, the ratio of methanol, and separation voltage in optimizing were investigated. The simultaneous enantioseparation of diniconazole, hexaconazole, and imazalil was successfully achieved in 30 mM borate buffer (pH 9.0) containing 10 mM HP-γ-CD and 20 mM SDS with methanol (8%) added as organic modifiers. The resolution of diniconazole, hexaconazole, and imazalil was 15.2, 2.12, and 2.78, respectively, and the peak efficiency (N) was over 566,825 plates/m. This study provides an alternative way to systematically separate chiral antifungal pesticides with high efficiency.

    Abstract China has made achievements in SO 2 emissions reduction in recent years. However, the emissions of SO 2 in northern China remain high, which need to be reduced. To effectively control SO 2 emissions in northern China, this paper from the perspective of the coordinated treatment of air pollution discusses the impact of energy consumption, economic development, and environmental regulation on SO 2 emissions in 14 provinces and regions by the Spatial Lag Model (SLM), Spatial Error Model (SEM), and Spatial Durbin Model (SDM). The study shows that (1) there is an obvious spatial dependence between SO 2 emissions and energy consumption; (2) the increase in the scale of industry enterprise can exacerbate SO 2 emissions in local and adjacent regions; and (3) the consumption of electricity suppresses SO 2 emissions in the local region, and increases SO 2 emissions in adjacent regions, which indicated that the electricity transmission can transfer the emissions of SO 2 . Therefore, in the treatment of SO 2 , it is necessary to fully consider the characteristics of SO 2 transfer in the electric power industry.

    Abstract Abstract Large skin wounds are one of the most important health problems in the world. Skin wound repair and tissue regeneration are complex processes involving many physiological signals, and effective wound healing remains an enormous clinical challenge. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a strategy to rapidly kill bacteria, promote cell proliferation and accelerate wound healing. At present, electrical stimulation (ES) is often used in the clinical treatment of skin wounds and can simulate the endogenous biological current of the body and accelerate the repair process of skin wounds. However, a single ES strategy has difficulty covering the entire wound area, which may lead to unsatisfactory therapeutic effects. To overcome this deficiency, it is essential to develop a collaborative treatment strategy that combines ES with other treatments. In this study, gold nanoparticles and antibacterial peptides (Os) were loaded on the surface of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) material through the reducibility and adhesion of polydopamine (PDA) and improved the electrical activity, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and biocompatibility properties of the polymer material. At the same time, this composite membrane material (Os/Au-PDA@PLGA) combined with ES was used in wound therapy to improve the wound healing rate. The results show that the new wound repair material has good biocompatibility and can effectively promote cell proliferation and migration. Through the combined application of gold nanoparticles and antibacterial peptides Os, the polymer materials have more efficient bactericidal and antioxidant effects. The antibacterial experiment results showed that gold nanoparticles could further enhance the antibacterial activity of antibacterial peptides. Furthermore, the Os/Au-PDA@PLGA composite membrane has good hydrophilicity and electrical activity, which can provide a more favorable cell microenvironment for wound healing. In vivo studies using a full-thickness skin defect model in rats showed that the ...

    Abstract Abstract Road geometry perception indicates road direction and drivable area for Lane Keeping System and Lane Departure Warning System in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems or routing and decision‐making in Autonomous Driving. High‐definition map with accurate positioning or lane information is generally required. However, these two types of information are not always available because of positioning failure or lane mark degradation. In this paper, a road geometry estimation method is proposed without requirement of accurate positioning and lane information. Due to the fact the lane guides the front vehicle, the potential correlation between the relative azimuth of front vehicle and the direction of road is explored. The stable and observable information of front vehicles are exploited, such as the license plate location. A radar‐camera fusion system using image processing, and a nonlinear system is then built with Unscented Kalman Filter to estimate the road curvature. Simulation results with Carla demonstrate that the method enhances the road geometry perception by 77.1%, compared with the baseline method. The proposed method can provide reliable road geometry information for autonomous driving when accurate positioning and lane information are unavailable, so that it renders more robust and safer perception for future autonomous driving.

    Abstract Objective Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by a high degree of malignancy, rapid proliferation of tumor cells, and early liver metastasis. Resistance to multiple drugs independent of the high expression of secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) is associated with a high risk of recurrence and mortality. However, the prognostic value of SPARC in patients with HCC remains unclear. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between the expression of SPARC and the prognosis of patients with HCC. Methods We searched for relevant articles in the CNKI, PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases. The 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for combined overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) to assess the prognostic value of expression of SPARC in patients with HCC. Results In six of the studies, SPARC expression status was significantly associated with OS (combined hazard ratio [HR], 1.38; 95% CI, 1.0-1.82; Z = 2.27, P = 0.02) but not with DFS (combined HR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.16-4.00, Z = 0.28, P = 0.78). Therefore, it cannot be assumed that upregulated SPARC expression has an effect on DFS in patients with HCC. Conclusion Elevated SPARC expression is associated with a low survival rate but not with DFS in patients with HCC. Further studies are needed to confirm our conclusions.

    Abstract Exopolysaccharide (EPS) producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is considered to be an effective texture improver. The effect of LAB strains (different EPS production capacity) on physicochemical properties (texture profile, water distribution, rheological properties, and microstructure), protein conformation, and chemical forces of soybean protein gel was investigated. Correlations between EPS yield and gel properties were established. Large masses of EPS were isolated from L. casei fermentation gel ( L. casei -G, 677.01 ± 19.82 mg/kg). Gel with the highest hardness (319.74 ± 9.98 g) and water holding capacity (WHC, 87.74 ± 2.00%) was also formed with L. casei . The conversion of β-sheet to α-helix, the increased hydrophobic interaction and ionic bond helped to form an ordered gel network. The yield was positively correlated with hardness, WHC, A 22 , viscoelasticity, and viscosity, but negatively correlated with A 23 ( p < 0.05). The macromolecular properties of EPS (especially the yield) and its incompatibility with proteins could be explained as the main reason for improving gel properties. In conclusion, the EPS producing LAB, especially L. casei used in our study, is the best ordinary coagulate replacement in soybean-based products.

    Abstract While underwater acoustic (UWA) communication offers a practical way to establish a wireless link with underwater vehicles, designing a UWA communication system onboard a small autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) still poses significant challenges. As the adoption of the low-complexity, robust noncoherent communication technology is limited by low bandwidth efficiency and a low data rate, coherent UWA communication requires Doppler mitigation and channel equalization measures to achieve a relatively high data rate in a moving state. Due to the strict constraints of a small-scale AUV in terms of resources and energy consumption, it is not appropriate to use high-complexity Doppler/multipath compensation technology from the prospect of system implementation. In this paper, an efficient and low-complexity UWA differential binary phase-shift keying (DBPSK) system onboard a small AUV is proposed by simplifying the Doppler and multipath compensation. Specifically, for Doppler, the delay of the adjacent DBPSK symbols is calculated according to the Doppler estimate to facilitate delay-tuning Doppler correction. For multipath, low-complexity LMS channel equalization is incorporated with error correction coding to enable multipath mitigation. With a simple structure and low computational complexity, the proposed scheme facilitates the practical hardware implementation and system integration in the small AUV platform. The numerical simulations are conducted to assess the validity of the proposed scheme under different channel conditions and the effectiveness of the proposed scheme is further verified by two UWA communication field tests, which are performed at a practical shallow water sea and lake, respectively.

    Abstract The output of municipal solid waste is growing rapidly, which has brought tremendous pressure to urban development. The supply chain of municipal solid waste (MSW) in China mainly contains three processes: collection, transportation, and disposal. The waste is sorted at the collection and disposed of according to the classification. However, it is mixed at the transportation stage. Mixed transportation remixes the separately collected waste, which seriously affects the disposal effect. The supply chain of MSW urgently needs to be redesigned to improve the MSW disposal effect. First of all, on the ground of the waste treatment situation, we redesigned the supply chain of MSW in China. Secondly, combined with the redesign of the MSW supply chain, this paper established the function allocation model for collection stations, making a collection station only gather one type of waste, and built the transportation path planning model for vehicles, reducing the impact of waste storage on residents. Finally, based on the data of Xuanwu District in Beijing, the supply chain redesigning practical example of incinerable waste was given. The supply chain redesigning model in this paper not only makes full use of the existing infrastructure but also improves the disposal effect of waste. The supply chain redesigning model has practical application value.

    Abstract As an important part of ecological externalities, the spatial spillover effect has attracted the attention of researchers in the field of environmental economics. However, the traditional view that the spillover mechanism of ecological externalities generally decreases in line with increases in distance remains to be thoroughly proven. Effective ecological management requires an understanding of the relationship between the natural environment and human communities. In this study, the concept of geographical accessibility and a two-step mobile search model are introduced in order to connect ecosystems and humans by a spatial distance. This model can fully demonstrate the external spatial spillover effect of ecology. Based on research from the Beihai Wetland Reserve, Guangxi, China, this study found that the change in the ecological externality spillover mechanism is not only affected by spatial distance but is also affected by the pro-environmental attributes of individual residents around the region. Under the same conditions, residents with a high degree of interaction with ecological protection zones can display a stronger spatial spillover effect. The conclusion of this study provides a more accurate understanding of the changes in the spillover effect of ecological externalities, which in turn can help managers to formulate more adequate ecological protection policies that are based on the specific conditions of different residents. This is crucial for the successful management of protected ecological areas that are highly linked to human communities.
