    Abstract With the advent of the era of media convergence, the storage management and inheritance of excellent traditional Chinese culture will usher in new opportunities, creating new opportunities for tapping the contemporary value of traditional culture. This work aims to explore the current protection and innovation of excellent traditional Chinese culture. It takes the digital storage and communication of intangible cultural heritage as an example to summarize the status quo of its storage management and communication, leading to the necessity of intelligent storage of excellent traditional culture. Meanwhile, in terms of intelligent storage management and communication, the application innovation of media convergence combined with blockchain technology has entered the public's vision. To better realize the intelligent storage and communication of excellent traditional Chinese culture, this work mainly studies how to operate the clever integration mechanism of media convergence and blockchain technology and summarizes the advantages of the two. The software development and design of the traditional culture storage system platform are carried out, and the platform's structural characteristics and development process are clarified. Finally, the mechanism is applied to the intelligent storage management and communication of traditional culture to test the time consumption of its network storage and information query. The results show that the test network has a good overall performance, short time consumption and stable operation when the storage network access is not blocked. This work can provide a more diversified information storage management and communication scheme, and provide a theoretical and practical basis for the intelligent storage management and communication of excellent traditional Chinese culture.

    Abstract This study explores the significance of robot hearing systems, emphasizing their importance for robots operating in diverse and uncertain environments. It introduces the hardware design principles using robotaxis as an example, where exterior microphone arrays are employed to detect sound events such as sirens. The challenges, goals, and test methods are discussed, focusing on achieving a suitable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Additionally, it presents a preliminary software framework rooted in probabilistic robotics theory, advocating for the integration of robot hearing into the broader context of perception and decision-making. It discusses various models, including Bayes filters, partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDP), and multiagent systems, highlighting the multifaceted roles that robot hearing can play. In conclusion, as service robots continue to evolve, robot hearing research will expand, offering new perspectives and challenges for future development beyond simple sound event classification.

    Abstract Serialized television drama (dianshiju), perhaps the most popular and influential cultural form in China, offers a wide, penetrating look at the tensions and contradictions of the post-revolutionary and pro-market period. Zhong Xuepings timely new work argues for recognizing the complexity of dianshijus melodramatic mode and its various subgenres, in effect refocusing mainstream Chinese culture. Mainstream Culture Refocused explores the manifestations, in dianshiju, of issues of history and tradition; the cultural and ideological issues surrounding the notion of youth; and how womens emotions are represented in relation to their desire for happiness. Song lyrics from music composed for television dramas are considered as popular poetics that express nostalgia and uncertainty, mirroring the social contradictions of the reform era

    Abstract Epigenetic variations contribute greatly to the phenotypic plasticity and diversity. Current functional studies on epialleles have predominantly focused on protein-coding genes, leaving the epialleles of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) genes largely understudied. Here, we uncover abundant DNA methylation variations of ncRNA genes and their significant correlations with plant adaptation among 1001 natural Arabidopsis accessions. Through genome-wide association study (GWAS), we identify large numbers of methylation QTL (methylQTL) that are independent of known DNA methyltransferases and enriched in specific chromatin states. Proximal methylQTL closely located to ncRNA genes have a larger effect on DNA methylation than distal methylQTL. We ectopically tether a DNA methyltransferase MQ1v to miR157a by CRISPR-dCas9 and show de novo establishment of DNA methylation accompanied with decreased miR157a abundance and early flowering. These findings provide important insights into the genetic basis of epigenetic variations and highlight the contribution of epigenetic variations of ncRNA genes to plant phenotypes and diversity.

    Abstract DNA methylation plays an important role in many biological processes. The mechanisms underlying the establishment and maintenance of DNA methylation are well understood thanks to decades of research using DNA methylation mutants, primarily in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) accession Col-0. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs) using the methylomes of natural accessions have uncovered a complex and distinct genetic basis of variation in DNA methylation at the population level. Sequencing following bisulfite treatment has served as an excellent method for quantifying DNA methylation. Unlike studies focusing on specific accessions with reference genomes, population-scale methylome research often requires an additional round of sequencing beyond obtaining genome assemblies or genetic variations from whole-genome sequencing data, which can be cost prohibitive. Here, we provide an overview of recently developed bisulfite-free methods for quantifying methylation and cost-effective approaches for the simultaneous detection of genetic and epigenetic information. We also discuss the plasticity of DNA methylation in a specific Arabidopsis accession, the contribution of DNA methylation to plant adaptation, and the genetic determinants of variation in DNA methylation in natural populations. The recently developed technology and knowledge will greatly benefit future studies in population epigenomes.

    Abstract In this study, we classified the variability in snow cover persistence across China by using a novel method; continuous snow cover days and variability of snow cover were used as the evaluation indicators based on a long-term Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) snow cover extent (SCE) product. The product has been generated by the snow research team in the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources (NIEER), Chinese Academy of Sciences. There were obvious differences in snow cover classification in three snow cover areas (northern Xinjiang, northeast China, and the Tibetan Plateau): northern Xinjiang was dominated by persistent snow cover, most regions of northeast China were covered by persistent and periodic variable snow cover. There was the most abundant snow cover classification in the Tibetan Plateau. The extents of persistent and periodic variable snow cover were gradually shrinking due to rising temperatures and decreasing snowfall during 1981–2019. In contrast, non-periodic variable snow cover areas increased significantly. This method takes into account the stability, continuity, and variability of snow cover, and better captures the characteristics and changes of snow cover across China. Based on our research, we found that snow disasters in ephemeral-type (belong to non-periodic variable snow cover) regions cannot be well prevented because of the unfixed snow cover timing. Therefore, we recommend that monitoring and forecasting of snow cover in these snow cover regions should be strengthened.

    Abstract Aims: Standard of care radiotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer includes large margins to ensure the uterocervix remains within the treatment fields over the course of treatment. Daily online cone-beam adaptive radiotherapy corrects for interfractional changes by adjusting the plan to match the target position during each treatment session, thus allowing for significantly reduced clinical target volume (CTV) to planning target volume (PTV) margins. We hypothesise that reduced margins from daily online adaptive radiotherapy will reduce organ at risk dose without compromising target coverage.
    Materials and methods: Ten patients with cervical cancer (stage IIB-IIIC2) were treated with definitive chemoradiation using daily online cone-beam adaptive radiotherapy in 25-27 fractions. Initial and all adapted treatment plans were generated with CTV to PTV margins versus standard of care image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) plans as follows: cervix/uterus/gross tumour volume (0.5 versus 1.5 cm), parametria/vagina (0.5 versus 1.0 cm) and nodal chains and gross nodes (0.5 versus 0.5 cm). IGRT plans were created and copied to synthetic computed tomography scans and contours generated from each daily adapted fraction. The dosimetry of each clinically treated online adapted fraction was compared with emulated IGRT plans. Statistical significance was defined as P < 0.05.
    Results: Daily online cone-beam adaptive radiotherapy significantly improves bowel bag dosimetry compared with IGRT, with a reduction in V40 by an average of 91.3 cm
    Conclusions: Reduced CTV to PTV margins achievable with daily online adaptive radiotherapy improves organ at risk dosimetry and target coverage when compared with standard of care IGRT for locally advanced cervical cancer. The clinical impact of improved dosimetry is currently undergoing investigation.

    Abstract Objective: This study aims to construct the risk prediction nomogram model of critical condition in patients with hypertension during pregnancy and to verify its evaluation effect.
    Methods: A total of 531 patients with hypertension during pregnancy were randomly grouped into 427 model group and 104 validation group. The model group patients included 59 cases of critical group and 368 cases of non-critical group according to the occurrence of critical situation. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the risk factors of critical condition in patients with hypertension during pregnancy, and R software was used to construct the nomogram model. Moreover, the prediction efficiency of the model was evaluated.
    Results: The proportions of patients aged over 30 years, with an educational background of junior high school or below, a family history of hypertension, anemia during pregnancy, and a lower erythrocyte count were significantly higher in the critical group compared to the non-critical group (P < 0.05). Age > 30 years old, educational background of junior high school and below, family history of hypertension, anemia during pregnancy, and red blood cell count were independent risk factors for the occurrence of critical condition in patients with hypertension during pregnancy (P < 0.05). The prediction model formula Z = 1.857×Age + 1.167×Education + 1.601×Family history of hypertension + 1.815×Pregnancy anemia + 3.524×Red blood cell count+(-19.769). The area under the curve (AUC) of the nomogram in the modeling group for predicting the risk of critical situations was 0.926 (95% CI = 0.887 ~ 0.964), indicating excellent discrimination. The calibration curve closely resembled the ideal curve, demonstrating good agreement between the predicted and actual values. The AUC of the validation group's nomogram to predict the risk of critical situation was 0.942 (95% CI = 0.872 ~ 0.998), with good discrimination. The calibration curve was close to the ideal curve, and the actual value was in good agreement with the predicted value.
    Conclusion: The nomograph model can predict the risk of critical condition in patients with hypertension during pregnancy and screen high-risk population.

    Abstract Ferroptosis is a type of regulated cell death driven by oxidative damage, characterized by iron overload and lipid peroxidation, and regulated by a network of distinct molecules and organelles. Impaired ferroptotic response is implicated in multiple physiological and pathological processes, including tumorigenesis, neurodegeneration, and ischemia-reperfusion damage. Classical techniques of immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence (IF) can be employed to exhibit antigen expression and location in tissues observed with microscopy, making them powerful tools in studying the ferroptosis process. In this chapter, we introduce commonly used protocols and summarize typical markers used in IHC and IF to monitor ferroptosis.
