摘要：
Aesthetic expectations often constitute the primary focus in marketing nature-based tourist destinations. However, academic research has insufficiently explored the disparity between tourists' aesthetic expectations and the actual aesthetic quality maintenance in shaping satisfaction. Employing the Expectation Confirmation Theory, this study utilized structural equation modeling techniques to analyze survey data (n = 446). It proposed and tested an Aesthetic Expectation Confirmation Model to examine the relationship between aesthetic expectations, experiential qualities, and tourist satisfaction in the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. The empirical findings show that aesthetic expectations have a direct, negative impact on satisfaction, while aesthetic expectation confirmation has a positive direct impact on satisfaction. Moreover, aesthetic expectation confirmation also plays a mediating role in the influence of aesthetic expectations and experiential quality on satisfaction. Specifically, aesthetic expectations indirectly impact satisfaction negatively through aesthetic expectation confirmation, whereas aesthetic experiential qualities have a positive, indirect impact on satisfaction through the same process. These findings offer theoretical contributions to the literature on forest recreation aesthetics and hold practical significance for the planning and management of destination aesthetics.
摘要：
In eukaryotic cells, epigenetic modifications of DNA and histone play an important role in the regulation of gene expression. ROXY19 is a member of the plant specific CC-type glutaredoxins (GRXs). We found previously that ROXY19, by association with the TOPLESS/TOPLESS-related (TPL/TPR) family, strongly repressed a subset of genes which were positively regulated by the class II TGA factors. Arabidopsis plants ectopic expressing ROXY19 (ROXY19OE) were hypersensitive to xenobiotic chemicals due to the silencing of detoxification pathway genes. Here, we confirmed in vivo the interaction between ROXY19 and TPL. In order to understand the molecular mechanism underlying ROXY19-TPL module mediated gene repression, DNA methylation and histone deacetylation inhibitors were applied to assess the involvement of epigenetic modifications in the silencing of detoxification pathway genes in ROXY19OE plants. Promoter regions of some ROXY19 repressed genes were not methylated in wild-type/Col-0, and the methylation status were not altered in ROXY19OE. Furthermore, we investigated the role of epigenetic modifications in the antagonistic interplay between ethylene/jasmonic acid (ET/JA) and salicylic acid (SA) signaling pathways, which were supposed to be regulated by ROXY19.

摘要：
Camellia oleifera is intensively cultivated in subtropical areas of China, exposing soils to various threats. However, the effect of long-term cultivation of Camellia oleifera on soil properties remains unclear and needs to be elucidated to improve soil and Camelia oleifera sustainable management. This study collected soil samples from different Camellia oleifera planting ages (2, 10, and 40 years) and performed aggregate fractionation and various analyses including physico-chemical, soil organic matter chemical composition analyses and a semi-quantitative analysis of organic carbon functional groups to investigate the effect of long-term cultivation of Camellia oleifera on soil macroaggregates (< 2 mm), mesoaggregates (2-0.25 mm) and microaggregates (< 0.25 mm) formation, soil organic matter (SOM), available nitrogen (AN), available phosphorus (AP), and available potassium (AK). The aggregate particles increased with increasing Camellia oleifera planting ages. Camellia oleifera long-term cultivation did not affected the soil pH in the aggregates, but significantly (P < 0.05) increased SOM concentration with the decrease in soil aggregate size. Similarly, Phenolics-C, ketones-C, lignins-C, and alkenes-C increased in soil aggregates with increasing cultivation time and are mainly distributed in < 0.25 mm fraction. The aromatics-C, carboxylic-C, aliphatic-C, and polysaccharides-C declined with increasing cultivation time and were mainly distributed in 2-0.25 mm and < 2 mm fraction. AN is abundantly distributed in 2-0.25 mm and its abundance increases with Camellia oleifera long-term cultivation. All soils were poor in AP and AK. Our study indicated that long-term cultivation of Camellia oleifera promoted soil aggregate formation, increased available nitrogen (AN), soil organic matter (SOM) and controlled the change of SOM chemical composition. However, our study recommended providing available phosphorus (AP) and available potassium (AK) in soil with Camellia oleifera cultivation for sustainable management.
摘要：
Firmiana danxiaensis (F. danxiaensis) is a special native species with a narrow distribution. More than 90 % of the plant species in the genus that F. danxiaensis belongs to are rare species with a narrow distribution. The main distribution area is Mount Danxia, a representative area of China Danxia where many endemic species of the Danxia landform have been bred. We carried out a gap analysis by overlapping the nature reserves with the potential habitat of F. danxiaensis. The results show that: (1) the potential habitat area of F. danxiaensis is 6,255.28 km(2) simulated by the Biomod2 ensemble model and 4,114.19 km(2) by Maxent, respectively, which accounted for 3.48 % and 2.29 % of the study area, located in Nanxiong county, Shixing county, Renhua county, and Qujiang county; (2) F. danxiaensis prefers areas with the max temperature of the warmest month over 32.5degree celsius, the temperature seasonality between 6000 and 7000, and the occurrence probability of F. danxiaensis was at its highest level when the max temperature of the warmest month reached between 36 and 37 degrees C, the temperature seasonality was nearly 7000; (3) more than 40 % of the potential habitat of F. danxiaensis was anthropogenically disturbed; (4) in the potential habitat simulated by Maxent, the conservation gap area is 3,390.26 km(2), accounting for 82.40 % of the total potential habitat, in the potential habitat simulated by Biomod2 ensemble model, the conservation gap area is 4.899.62 km(2), accounting for 78.33 % of the total potential habitat. The protection status of F. danxiensis is poor, with populations of F. danxiaensis in Yingde and Shixing not covered by nature reserves and already subject to serious human disturbance. It is recommended that the structure of existing protected areas be adjusted, the scope of corresponding nature reserves be appropriately expanded, and new nature reserves be added to ensure the sustainable development of F. danxiaensis populations.

摘要：
Bacteria colonized on solid electrode developing electroactive biofilm (EAB) has been shown to promote the contaminants biodegradation. Regulating electrode potential can improve the stability of extracellular electron transfer (EET), but how the electrode potential regulating the extracellular polymer secretion and the tetracycline (TC) removal has not been fully studied. Here, EAB cultured at 0 V was used to study the degradation mechanism of TC at different electrode potentials. Results showed that −0.1 V was the optimized electrode potential for TC biodegradation compared with 0.1 V, 0 V and −0.3 V, which was 28 % higher than that without electric field. Stimulation of electric field can retain proper extracellular polymer (EPS) to relieve the poison of TC, while excessive extracellular polysaccharide (PS) at 0 V have hindered the contact between microorganisms and TC, thus limited electron transfer and reduced the TC biodegradation efficiency. Excessively negative potential (−0.3 V) will restrict the electron transfer which was not conducive to the biodegradation of organic pollutants. Microbial community analysis revealed that TC addition have refreshed the EAB structure, Dokdonella and Norank_f_Rikenellaceae replaced Geobacter as the dominant species in EAB to promote TC biodegradation. The variation of metabolic pathway was suggested that the up-regulation of pyruvate metabolism and ubiquinone synthesis at −0.1 V have promoted the TC removal. This study has provided theoretical support for the electrode potential regulating the extracellular polymer secretion and promoting the pollution bioremediation.
摘要：
Dew-point indirect evaporative cooling (DPIEC) technology is designed and applied as a low carbon-emission and high energy-efficient air conditioning (AC) solution without employing non-environmentally friendly refrigerant and mechanical compressor for cooling in building sector. A more realistic three-dimensional (3-D) model of the DPIEC that better captures the fundamental thermodynamic of its operation is proposed. It considers the variability of air thermal properties and is employed to investigate the DPIEC's performance for three possible arrangements. The 3-D model is classified as configurations 1, 2 and 3 based on the relative flow direction between primary/secondary air and spray water. Experimental results indicate that the model can well evaluate the thermodynamic performance. Additionally, the influence of crucial factors on the performance is parametrically studied by employing three performance indexes. Comparison reveals that configuration 1 can achieve the highest effectiveness and cooling capacity. Results also show that the secondary-to-primary air ratio should be confined to around 0.3 to achieve maximum cooling capacity, and the optimal channel gap should be limited to the range from 3 to 4 mm. Comparatively, the relative flow direction between the spray water and the primary/secondary air has a greater effect on the thermodynamic performance than the spray water inlet velocity.
摘要：
<bold>Background:</bold> Chlamydia is a Gram-negative obligate intracellular bacterium that is pathogenic for humans and a large variety of veterinary animal species. However, there is no continuous monitoring of chlamydia infection data in pigs in Hunan province, southern China. Therefore, in order to evaluate the seroprevalence and identify risk factors associated with Chlamydia infection in pigs within this region, a comprehensive study was conducted. <bold>Methods:</bold> A total of 3848 serum samples were collected from pigs (from farmers and companies) between May 2017 and August 2018. The presence of specific antibodies against Chlamydia was determined through the employment of the indirect hemagglutination assay (IHA). <bold>Results:</bold> The overall seroprevalence of Chlamydia was determined to be 26.90% (1038/3848, 95% confidence interval: 25.60-28.40). By employing statistical analysis using SPSS software (p < 0.05), factors such as altitude, sampling regions, and rearing systems of pigs were identified as potential risk factors for Chlamydia infection. <bold>Conclusion:</bold> These findings elucidate a substantial prevalence of Chlamydia in pigs within the mountainous region of Hunan province, southern China, thereby highlighting a potential risk to human health. These results underscore the need for proactive measures and targeted interventions to mitigate the transmission of Chlamydia in porcine populations, safeguarding both animal welfare and public health.
摘要：
Laser cladding was used to fabricate the high entropy alloy (HEA) coating of FeCoCrNiMnx (x = 0, 0.5, 1). Coatings were studied to determine how Mn affected the microstructure, microhardness, and tribological property. Molecular dynamics simulations were used to examine the atomic-scale deformation and wear behavior of FeCoCrNiMn HEA coatings. FeCoCrNiMnx HEA coatings were composed of single FCC-type solid solution. Friction reduction and wear resistance are improved with Mn doping. When compared to the substrate and FeCoCrNi coating, the wear resistance of Mn1 coating is superior by 69.34% and 25.05%, respectively (wear rate is 3.74 x10- 5 mm3/N center dot m). The findings of molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that Mn-doping significantly enhances strain hardening by the friction-induced FCC phase transition to the HCP phase. The deformation mechanism of Mn1 coating, as determined by the dislocation evolution pattern, is twinning induced plasticity, which improves the plasticity, strength, and work-hardening rate of coating all at once.

摘要：
The immunity of topological states against backscattering and structural defects provides them with a unique advantage in the exploration and design of high-precision low-loss optical devices. However, the operating bandwidth of the topological states in certain photonic structures is difficult to actively tune and flexibly reconfigure. In this study, we propose a valley topological photonic crystal (TPC) comprising two inverse honeycomb photonic crystals, consisting of hexagonal silicon and Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) rods. When GST transitions from the amorphous phase to the crystalline phase, the edge band of the TPC appears as a significant redshift and is inversed from a"∪"to an"∩"shape with topological phase transition, which enables active tuning of the operating bandwidth and propagation direction of topological edge states. Both the topological edge and corner states in a triangular structure constructed using TPCs can be simultaneously adjusted and reconfigured via GST phase transition, along with a change in the group number of corner states. Using the adjustability of topological edge states and electromagnetic coupling between two different topological bearded interfaces, we develop a multichannel optical router with a high tuning degree of freedom, where channels can be actively reconfigured and their on/off states can be freely switched. Our study provides a strategy for the active regulation of topological states and may be beneficial for the development of reconfigurable topological optical devices.

Cadmium ion;Enrichment and removal;Fluorescent probe;Functionalized glass slide
摘要：
Cadmium (Cd) is a widespread and highly toxic environmental pollutant, seriously threatening animal and plant growth. Therefore, monitoring and employing robust tools to enrich and remove Cd from the environment is a major challenge. In this work, by conjugating a fluorescent indicator (CCP) with a functionalized glass slide, a special composite material (CCPB) was constructed to enrich, remove, and monitor Cd(2+) in water rapidly. Then Cd(2+) could be effectively eluted by immersing the Cd-enriched CCPB in an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) solution. With this, the CCPB was continuously reused. Its recovery of Cd(2+)was above and below 100 % after multiple uses by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), which was excellent for practical use in enriching and removing Cd(2+) in real aqueous samples. Therefore, CCPB is an ideal material for monitoring, enriching, and removing Cd(2+) in wastewater, providing a robust tool for future practical applications of Cd enrichment and removal in the environment.

Age of Information;resource scheduling;Industrial Internet of Things;deep reinforcement learning
摘要：
Effective resource scheduling methods in certain scenarios of Industrial Internet of Things are pivotal. In time-sensitive scenarios, Age of Information is a critical indicator for measuring the freshness of data. This paper considers a densely deployed time-sensitive Industrial Internet of Things scenario. The industrial wireless device transmits data packets to the base station with limited channel resources under the constraints of Age of Information. It is assumed that each device has the capacity to store the packets it generates. The device will discard the data to alleviate the data queue backlog when the Age of Information of the data packet exceeds the threshold. We developed a new system utility equation to represent the scheduling problem and the problem is expressed as a trade-off between minimizing the average Age of Information and maximizing network throughput. Inspired by the success of reinforcement learning in decision-processing problems, we attempt to obtain an optimal scheduling strategy via deep reinforcement learning. In addition, a reward function is constructed to enable the agent to achieve improved convergence results. Compared with the baseline, our proposed algorithm can achieve better system utility and lower Age of Information violation rate.

Superhydrophobic wood;Wet chemical method;Wettability;Bond strength;Interface modification
摘要：
Superhydrophobic modification transforms the wood surface into a non-wetting state, which hinders the effective spreading and penetration of the adhesive at the gluing interface. In this study, a wet chemical method was used to optimize the wettability of the glued interface of superhydrophobic wood (S-wood) through NaOH@KH-550 synergistic treatment. The method can improve the structrue and chemical condition to increase the adsorption capacity of the wood surface for the adhesive, and the bond strength of S-wood increased to 3.21 MPa, which was beneficial to the efficient use of S-wood in construction and furniture fields.
