RESUMEN
The Anthropocene's human-dominated habitat expansion endangers global biodiversity. However, large mammalian herbivores experienced few extinctions during the 20th century, hinting at potentially overlooked ecological responses of a group sensitive to global change. Using dental microwear as a proxy, we studied large herbivore dietary niches over a century across mainland China before (1880s-1910s) and after (1970s-1990s) the human population explosion. We uncovered widespread and significant shifts (interspecific microwear differences increased and intraspecific microwear dispersion expanded) within dietary niches linked to geographical areas with rapid industrialization and population growth in eastern China. By contrast, in western China, where human population growth was slower, we found no indications of shifts in herbivore dietary niches. Further regression analysis links the intensity of microwear changes to human land-use expansion. These analyses highlight dietary adjustments of large herbivores as a likely key factor in their adaptation across a century of large-scale human-driven changes.

In a photon-counting fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing system, a shorter probe pulse width reaches a higher spatial resolution, which inevitably causes a spectrum broadening according to the Fourier transform theory, thus affecting the sensitivity of the sensing system. In this work, we investigate the effect of spectrum broadening on a photon-counting FBG sensing system with a dual-wavelength differential detection method. A theoretical model is developed, and a proof-of-principle experimental demonstration is realized. Our results give a numerical relationship between the sensitivity and spatial resolution at the different spectral widths of FBG. In our experiment, for a commercial FBG with a spectral width of 0.6 nm, an optimal spatial resolution of 3 mm and a corresponding sensitivity of 2.03 nm-1 can be achieved.
RESUMEN
A cascading Brillouin random fiber laser with a dual pump (DP-CBRFL) is proposed and demonstrated. The DP-CBRFL can improve the Brillouin gain significantly to achieve an ultra-narrow linewidth (95.5 Hz) with 200 mW pump power, due to two cascading Brillouin gain fibers with an identical Brillouin frequency shift. Compared with the general Brillouin random fiber laser, the proposed random fiber laser has a more stable Brillouin gain spectrum and a lower mode density, which makes it have a lower intensity noise and frequency noise, especially in the low-frequency range. Meanwhile, it exhibits a high slope efficiency of 28% even if the pump power has reached 1.1 W due to the strong suppression ability of the high-order Stokes light.
RESUMEN
Silicon (Si) deficiency and heavy metals (HMs) pollution are common for farmland soil because of long-term intensive farming. In this study, a novel citrate-modified biochar (C-BC) was introduced as a soil conditioner to simultaneously increase the amount of plant-available Si (PASi) and immobilize HMs. The maximum amount of PASi released was 33.00 mgâ g-1 from C-BC pre-treated with 0.1 molâ L-1 citrate (C-BC0.1). A formation-transport coupling mechanism for increasing the amount of PASi released was developed. Stable Si in the biomass was pyrolyzed to give silicate that was relatively mobile via nucleophilic attack of citrate and hydrolysis of amorphous Si. Silicate species were then released through the porous surface and widening cracks caused by pyrolysis. At citrate concentrations >0.1 molâ L-1, the surface and cracks were easily blocked by precipitates formed during pyrolysis. The ability of C-BC to remove HMs was assessed using Cu as an example. C-BC0.1 was optimal for adsorbing Cu, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 271.73 mgâ g-1. The Cu adsorption mechanism mainly involved surface precipitation, surface complexation, electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bonding. Our research provides important implications for simultaneously addressing Si deficiency and HMs contaminant problems by these materials for soil amendment in agro-ecosystem.

The discovery of cheap and eco-friendly functional materials for the removal of anionic heavy metal ions is still challenging in the treatment of heavy metal-contaminated water. Herein, a new poly(allyltrimethylammonium) grafted chitosan and biochar composite (PATMAC-CTS-BC) was introduced for the removal of selenate (SeO42-) in water. Results suggest that the PATMAC-CTS-BC showed a rapid removal of SeO42- with efficiency of >97% within 10 min and it followed a pseudo-second-order model. High capacity of SeO42- adsorption by the composite was achieved, with maximum value of 98.99 mg g-1 based on Langmuir model, considerably higher than most of reported adsorbents. The thermodynamic results reflected the spontaneous and exothermic nature of SeO42- adsorption onto the composite. The composite could be applied at a wide initial pH range (2-10) with high removal efficiency of SeO42- because of permanent positive charges of quaternary ammonium groups (=N+-). The removal mechanisms of SeO42- were mainly attributed to electrostatic interactions with =N+- and protonated -NH3+ groups, and redox-complexation interactions with -NH2, -NH-, and -OH groups. Besides SeO42-, the hexavalent chromium (Cr2O72-) was considered as example to further demonstrate the anion removal capability of cationic hydrogel-BC composite. The study outcomes open up new opportunities to efficiently remove anionic heavy metal ions (e.g., SeO42- and Cr2O72-) in water using these materials.

As a class III receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) is always overexpressed in many cases of acute leukemia. This paper studies the structure-based synthesis and biological evaluation of diaryl urea derivatives as FLT3 inhibitors. Encouragingly, compounds 15b, 16b, 24a, and 24c showed excellent biological activities in a low nanomolar range. In particular, compound 16b demonstrated significant inhibitory potency against FLT3-ITD (IC50 = 5.60 nM) and better antiproliferative activity than quizartinib against MV4-11 cell line (IC50 = 0.176 nM). It is indicated that compound 16b for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia could be very promising.

Membrane fouling is an obstacle impeding the wide applications of ceramic membranes and organics are responsible for most of the membrane fouling issues in wastewater treatment. In this study, Fenton cleaning strategy was firstly proposed to clean ceramic membrane fouling in wastewater treatment. Fe2+ efficiently catalyzed fouling cleaning with H2O2 (1.5%) to recover the filterability of ceramic membrane. The maximum ∆TMP recovery (over 99%) was achieved at an optimal Fe2+ dosage of 124â¯mg/L after 6â¯hr of immersion cleaning. The total residual membrane fouling resistance decreased gradually from this optimum value as the Fe2+ dosage increased above 124â¯mg/L. The residual hydraulically reversible fouling resistance accounted for most of the membrane fouling and was basically removed (≤3.0â¯×â¯109â¯m-1) when Fe2+ dosages higher than 124â¯mg/L were used. The foulants responsible for the formation of a residual hydraulically reversible fouling layer (DOC (dissolved organic carbon), proteins, polysaccharides, EEM (fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectra), SS (suspended solids), and VSS (volatile suspended solids)) were gradually removed as the Fe2+ dosage increased. These residual organic foulants were degraded from biopolymers (10-200â¯kDa) to low molecular weight substances (0.1-1â¯kDa), and the particle size of these residual foulants decreased significantly as a result. The strong oxidation power of hydrogen peroxide/hydroxy radicals towards organic foulants was enhanced by Fe2+. Fe2+ played a significant role in the removal of hydraulically reversible fouling and irreversible fouling from the ceramic membrane. However, Fe2+ (≥124â¯mg/L) increased the likelihood of forming secondary iron-organics aggregates.

BACKGROUND: Animals living at high altitude must adapt to environments with hypoxia and low temperatures, but relatively little is known about underlying genetic changes. Toad-headed lizards of the genus Phrynocephalus cover a broad altitudinal gradient of over 4000 m and are useful models for studies of such adaptive responses. In one of the first studies to have considered selection on mitochondrial protein-coding regions in an ectothermic group distributed over such a wide range of environments, we analysed nineteen complete mitochondrial genomes from all Chinese Phrynocephalus (including eight genomes sequenced for the first time). Initial analyses used site and branch-site model (program: PAML) approaches to examine nonsynonymous: synonymous substitution rates across the mtDNA tree. RESULTS: Ten positively selected sites were discovered, nine of which corresponded to subunits ND2, ND3, ND4, ND5, and ND6 within the respiratory chain enzyme mitochondrial Complex I (NADH Coenzyme Q oxidoreductase). Four of these sites showed evidence of general long-term selection across the group while the remainder showed evidence of episodic selection across different branches of the tree. Some of these branches corresponded to increases in altitude and/or latitude. Analyses of physicochemical changes in protein structures revealed that residue changes at sites that were under selection corresponded to major functional differences. Analyses of coevolution point to coevolution of selected sites within the ND4 subunit, with key sites associated with proton translocation across the mitochondrial membrane. CONCLUSIONS: Our results identify mitochondrial Complex I as a target for environment-mediated selection in this group of lizards, a complex that frequently appears to be under selection in other organisms. This makes these lizards good candidates for more detailed future studies of molecular evolution.

Antibacterial surfaces with both bacteria killing and release functions show great promise in biological and biomedical applications, in particular for reusable medical devices. However, these surfaces either require a sophisticated technique to create delicate structures or need rigorous stimuli to trigger the functions, greatly limiting their practical application. In this study, we made a step forward by developing a simple system based on a salt-responsive polyzwitterionic brush. Specifically, the salt-responsive brush of poly(3-(dimethyl (4-vinylbenzyl) ammonium) propyl sulfonate) (polyDVBAPS) was endowed with bactericidal function by grafting an effective bactericide, i.e., triclosan (TCS). This simple functionalization successfully integrated the bacteria attach/release function of polyDVBAPS and bactericidal function of TCS. As a result, the surface could kill more than 95% attached bacteria and, subsequently, could rapidly detach â¼97% bacteria after gently shaking in 1.0 M NaCl for 10 min. More importantly, such high killing efficiency and release rate could be well retained (unchanged effectiveness of both killing and release after four severe killing/release cycles), indicating the highly efficient regeneration and long-term reusability of this system. This study not only contributes zwitterionic polymers by conferring new functions but also provides a new, highly efficient and reliable surface for "killing-release" antibacterial strategy.

To test the validity of subspecies status within the common pheasant (Phasianus colchicus), we used genetic data to assess differences among five subspecies distributed across the Loess Plateau in central China. Samples were collected from 191 individuals representing subspecies P. c. strauchi, P. c. satscheuensis, P. c. kiangsuensis, P. c. suehschanensis, and P. c. edzinensis. Analysis of mitochondrial genetic variation suggested that there were no phylogenetically distinct subspecies clades, and we could not exclude that hybridization has occurred among subspecies. A potential explanation of the observed pattern is that an increase in common pheasant rearing farms may have led to enforcement of hybridization between different subspecies. Consistent with phenotypic data, our analysis suggests that a previously identified common pheasant subspecies (P. c. strauchi) represents an intermediate form between the subspecies P. c. satscheuensis and P. c. suehschanensis.

To innovate the design of water treatment technology for algal toxin removal, this research investigated the mechanisms of cyanotoxin microcystin-LR (MC-LR) removal by a coupled adsorption-biodegradation. Eight types of woody carbonaceous adsorbents with and without Sphingopyxis sp. m6, a MC-LR degrading bacterium, were tested for MC-LR removal in water. All adsorbents showed good adsorption capability, removing 40 % to almost 100 % of the MC-LR (4.5 mg/L) within 48 h in batch experiments. Adding Sphingopyxis sp. m6 continuously promoted MC-LR biological removal, and successfully broke the barrier of adsorption capacity of tested adsorbents, removing >90 % of the MC-LR in most of the coupled adsorption-biodegradation tests, especially for those adsorbents had low physiochemical adsorption capacity. Variance partitioning analysis indicated that mesopore was the dominant contributor to adsorption capacity of MC-LR in pure adsorption treatments, which acted synergistically with electrical conductivity, polarity and total functional groups on the absorbent. Pore structure was the key factor beneficial for the growth of Sphingopyxis sp. m6 (51% contribution) and subsequent MC-LR biological removal rate (80 % contribution). Overall, pinewood-based carbonaceous adsorbents (especially pinewood activated carbon) exhibited the highest adsorption capacity towards MC-LR and provided the most favorable conditions for biological removal of MC-LR, largely because of their high mesopore volume, total functional groups and electric conductivity. The research outcomes not only deepened the quantitative understanding of mechanisms for MC-LR removal by the coupled process, but also provided theoretical basis for future materials' selection and modification during the practical application of coupled process.

The effective detoxification and removal of arsenite (As(III)) has been widely concerned because of its strong toxicity and migration ability. In this study, we designed a layered double hydroxide-supported polyacrylate stabilized ferrous sulfide composite (PAA/FeS@LDH) and coupled it with UV excitation to purify As(III)-polluted water. The removal efficiency of As(III) under UV irradiation reached almost 100% in 120 min, and the first-order kinetic constant was 3.12 orders of magnitude higher than under dark. UV irradiation significantly accelerated the oxidation and detoxification of As(III) at the interface of PAA/FeS@LDH and treatment solution. It is attributable to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) intermediates, including .O2-, .OH, and SO4.- under UV irradiation, because of the presence of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs and iron valence states cycles. Importantly, .O2- may be rapidly captured and oxidized to 1O2 on the surface of PAA/FeS@LDH that is also an important contributor to the oxidation removal of As(III). Noticeably, As(III) concentrations in the real water were rapidly reduced to below the guideline limitation of drinking water (10 µg/L) within 20 min under UV irradiation. Our outcomes provide a novel photoexcitation treatment system for the efficient detoxification and removal of As from actual wastewater.
RESUMEN
Microcystin-LR (MC-LR), the most common algal toxin in freshwater, poses an escalating threat to safe drinking water. This study aims to develop an engineered biofiltration system for water treatment, employing a composite of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)-biochar (PDDA-BC) as a filtration medium. The objective is to capture MC-LR selectively and quickly from water, enabling subsequent biodegradation of toxin by bacteria embedded on the composite. The results showed that PDDA-BC exhibited a high selectivity in adsorbing MC-LR, even in the presence of competing natural organic matter and anions. The adsorption kinetics of MC-LR was faster, and capacity was greater compared to traditional adsorbents, achieving a capture rate of 98% for MC-LR (200 µg/L) within minutes to tens of minutes. Notably, the efficient adsorption of MC-LR was also observed in natural lake waters, underscoring the substantial potential of PDDA-BC for immobilizing MC-LR during biofiltration. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the synergetic effects of electrostatic interaction and π-π stacking predominantly contribute to the adsorption selectivity of MC-LR. Furthermore, experimental results validated that the combination of PDDA-BC with MC-degrading bacteria offered a promising and effective approach to achieve a sustainable removal of MC-LR through an "adsorption-biodegradation" process.
RESUMEN
The non-Newtonian fluid-solid interaction food has complex physical properties and complicated contact force, which brings the greater technical challenge to improving the food fetching rate. In this work, we used the smooth particle hydrodynamics and finite element coupling method for a node-to-surface penalty function contact to characterize the contact forces between non-Newtonian fluid food and solid foods. The shear rheological properties and density of non-Newtonian fluid food, including xanthan gum (XG) and guar gum (GG), were investigated by a viscometer and densitometer, respectively. The results showed that the shear viscosity of non-Newtonian fluid food depends to some extent on the mass ratio of the thickening gums. We investigated the effects of the end-effector with different fetching velocities and different inclination angles, and the nut root powder paste (NRPP) food with different ratios of XG and GG, on the fetching rate, stress-strain, and motion behavior. The results showed that the stress increased with increasing v1 and w; however, the v2 had less effect on the stress. The sparseness of the distribution of solid food was related to the v1 and w, whereas it was less influenced by the v2 . The distribution of solid food became denser in the X-Z plane and sparser in the X-Y plane with increasing inclination angle. The motion behavior of viscoelastic solid foods depended on the mass ratio of XG to GG dissolved in NRPP. The present work can provide a theoretical foundation for meal-assisting robots and robots in the field of food engineering with the task of improving the food fetching rate.

Agricultural sustainability is challenging because of increasingly serious and co-existing issues, e.g., poor nitrogen-fertilizer use and heavy metal pollution. Herein, we introduced a new poly(acrylic acid)-grafted chitosan and biochar composite (PAA/CTS/BC) for soil amendment, and provided a first microbial insight into how PAA/CTS/BC amendment simultaneously improved nitrogen cycling and immobilized heavy metals. Our results suggest that the PAA/CTS/BC amendment significantly promoted soil ammonium retention, and reduced nitrate accumulation, nitrous oxide emission and ammonia volatilization during the rice cultivation. The availability of various heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ni, Pb, Cr, and As) markedly decreased in the PAA/CTS/BC amended soil, thereby reducing their accumulation in rice root. The PAA/CTS/BC amendment significantly altered the structure and function of soil microbial communities. Importantly, the co-occurrence networks of microbial communities became more complex and function-specific after PAA/CTS/BC addition. For example, the keystone species related to organic matter degradation, denitrification, and plant resistance to pathogen or stresses were enriched within the network. In addition to direct adsorption, the effects of PAA/CTS/BC on shaping microbial communities played dominant roles in the soil amendment. Our findings provide a promising strategy of simultaneous nitrogen-use improvement and heavy metal immobilization for achieving crop production improvement, pollution control, and climate change mitigation.

Few-shot classification aims to enable the network to acquire the ability of feature extraction and label prediction for the target categories given a few numbers of labeled samples. Current few-shot classification methods focus on the pretraining stage while fine-tuning by experience or not at all. No fine-tuning or insufficient fine-tuning may get low accuracy for the given tasks, while excessive fine-tuning will lead to poor generalization for unseen samples. To solve the above problems, this study proposes a hybrid fine-tuning strategy (HFT), including a few-shot linear discriminant analysis module (FSLDA) and an adaptive fine-tuning module (AFT). FSLDA constructs the optimal linear classification function under the few-shot conditions to initialize the last fully connected layer parameters, which fully excavates the professional knowledge of the given tasks and guarantees the lower bound of the model accuracy. AFT adopts an adaptive fine-tuning termination rule to obtain the optimal training epochs to prevent the model from overfitting. AFT is also built on FSLDA and outputs the final optimum hybrid fine-tuning strategy for a given sample size and layer frozen policy. We conducted extensive experiments on mini-ImageNet and tiered-ImageNet to prove the effectiveness of our proposed method. It achieves consistent performance improvements compared to existing fine-tuning methods under different sample sizes, layer frozen policies, and few-shot classification frameworks.

Soil contamination by hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) poses great risks to human health and ecosystem safety. We introduced a new cheap and efficient layered double hydroxide intercalated with diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC-LDH) for in-situ remediation of Cr(VI)-contaminated soil. The content of Cr(VI) in contaminated soil (134.26 mg kg-1) was rapidly reduced to 1.39 mg kg-1 within 10 days by 0.5% of DDTC-LDH. This result attains to or even exceeds the effectiveness of most of reported soil amendments for Cr(VI) removal in soils. The production cost of DDTC-LDH ($4.02 kg-1) was relatively low than some common materials, such as nano zero-valent iron ($22.80-140.84 kg-1). The growth of water spinach became better with the increase of DDTC-LDH dose from 0% to 0.5%, suggesting the recovery of soil function. DDTC-LDH significantly altered the structure and function of soil microbial communities. The species that have Cr(VI)-resistant or Cr(VI)-reductive ability were enriched in DDTC-LDH remediated soils. Network analysis revealed a significant functional niche differentiation of soil microbial communities. In addition to the enhancement of Cr(VI) reduction, the stimulation of plant growth promoting traits, including siderophore biosynthesis, oxidation resistance to reactive oxygen species, and phosphorus availability by DDTC-LDH was another essential mechanism for the immediate remediation of Cr(VI)-contaminated soil.

The Qilian Mountain Basin, on the north-eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), supports a high diversity of native and endemic fish. However, the detailed species inventory and distribution patterns concerning fish in the whole Basin remain unknown, which hinders the conservation of biodiversity and assessment of ecological health. We compiled a comprehensive species richness and distribution database of freshwater fish in the Qilian Mountain Basin, based on field investigations and exhaustive data collection from 50 rivers or lakes. Then, we elucidated a distribution pattern using clustering and ordination analyses based on a ßdissim matrix with species presence/absence data. A total of 79 freshwater fish species within eight orders, 17 families and 42 genera were recorded. The Qilian Mountain Basin could be grouped into six systems, which match the six Basins (i.e. Heihe River Basin, HHR; Qaidam Basin, QDM; Qinghai Lake Basin, QHL; Shule River Basin, SLR; Shiyang River Basin, SYR; Yellow River Basin, YR), based on the fish distribution pattern. Additionally, the spatial pattern of species distribution showed the distance decay of taxonomic similarity. Our results demonstrate that riverine connectivity resulting from historical processes plays a vital role in shaping the freshwater ichthyofauna of High Central Asia. These findings will be valuable for future systematic conservation of fish in the Qilian Mountain Basin.
RESUMEN
Comprehension of whether human and livestock presence affects wildlife activity is a prerequisite for the planning and management of humans and livestock in protected areas. Xinglong Mountain Nature Reserve (XMNNR) in northwest China, as a green island in a semi-arid mountain ecosystem, is one of the scattered and isolated areas for Alpine musk deer (AMD), an endangered species. AMD cohabits their latent habitat area with foraging livestock and humans. Hence, habitat management within and outside the distribution areas is crucial for the effective conservation of AMD. We applied camera traps to a dataset of 2 years (September 2018-August 2020) to explore seasonal activity patterns and habitat use and assess the impacts of AMD habits in XMNNR. We investigated AMD responses to livestock grazing and human activities and provided effective strategies for AMD conservation. We applied MaxENT modeling to predict the distribution size under current conditions. The activity patterns of the AMD vary among seasons. The optimum habitat average distance to cultivated land ranges of AMD (150~3300 m during grass period/100~3200 m during withered grass period), distances to the residential area ranges (500~5700 m during the grass period/1000~5300 m during the withered grass period), elevation ranges (2350~3400 m during the grass period/2360~3170 m during the withered grass period), aspect ranges (0~50° and 270~360°), normalized vegetation index ranges (0.64~0.72 during the grass period/0.14~0.60 during the withered grass period), and land cover types (forest, shrub, and grassland). Results present that the predicted distributions of AMD were not confined to the areas reported but also covered other potential areas. The results provide evidence of strong spatial-temporal avoidance of AMD in livestock, but gradually adjusting to human activities. These camera trap datasets may open new opportunities for species conservation in much wider tracts, such as human-dominated landscapes, and may offer guidance and mitigate impacts from livestock, as well as increase artificial forest planting and strengthen the investigation of the potential population resources of AMD.
