Multi-factor principle for electrolyte additive molecule design for facilitating the development of electrolyte chemistry

When I read the paper"Electrolytes enriched by potassium perfluorinated sulfonates for lithium metal batteries"from Prof. Jianmin Ma's group, which was published in Science Bulletin (doi.org/10.1016/j.scib.2020.09.018), I felt excited as presented a multi-factor principle for applying potassium perfluorinated sulfonates to suppress the dendrite growth and protect the cathode from the viewpoint of electrolyte additives. The effects of these additives are revealed through experimental results, molecular dynamics simulations and first-principle calculations. Specifically, it involves the influence of additives on Li+ solvation structure, solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), Li growth and nucleation. Following the guidance of the multi-factor principle, every part of the additive molecule should be utilized to regulate electrolytes. This multi-factor principle for electrolyte additive molecule design (EAMD) offers a unique insight on understanding the electrochemical behavior of ion-type electrolyte additives on both the Li metal anode and high-voltage cathode. In these regards, I would be delighted to write a highlight for this innovative work and, hopefully, it may raise more interest in the areas of electrolyte additives.     

初始扰动对CO2抑制瓦斯爆炸特性研究*

为了预防实际生产过程中发生的瓦斯爆炸事故,利用20 L球形爆炸装置,通过改变粉尘仓充压压力产生不同的扰动,研究9.5%CH4浓度下不同扰动条件对CO2抑爆特性的影响。通过对所得参数进行分析,得到CO2抑爆特性与初始扰动的关系。研究结果表明:相较于均匀静置状态,初始扰动的存在均能提高CH4的爆炸强度,当引发初始扰动的粉尘仓压力为1.5 MPa时,最大爆炸压力达到0.78 MPa;随CO2浓度增大,爆炸强度整体下降,呈二次下降趋势、最大爆炸压力时间呈上升趋势,且各初始扰动压力间爆炸强度均大于均匀静置状态、最大爆炸压力时间小于均匀静置状态;同时利用CHEMKIN软件得到绝热平衡压力,计算热损失参数发现,同一气体混合比例工况下,初始扰动状态的热损失及热损失分数明显低于均匀静置状态的,且当CO2浓度为15%时,差距最大,不同初始扰动间热损失及热损失分数最小值分别为0.013 19 kJ/m2,17.9%,远小于静置状态下0.036 29 kJ/m2,46.4%,说明初始扰动对于CO2抑爆效果存在削弱作用。     

热休克、Poly I:C上调草鱼GRP78基因表达

葡萄糖调节蛋白78(GRP78)是细胞内一种应急蛋白,它通过对细胞内、外胁迫因子产生强烈的应答而调节内质网稳态.草鱼(Ctenopharyngodon idellus)GRP78克隆于草鱼肝肾cDNA文库,全长2 490 bp.其中,5'非编码区为155 bp,含有7个热休克元件,3'非编码区为373 bp,最大开放阅读框为1 962 bp,编码653个氨基酸.序列分析表明,草鱼GRP78的N端包含3个HSP70家族的签名序列,C末端为内质网蛋白滞留信号KDEL,草鱼GRP78与人及其它动物的同源性很高.适应性进化分析也显示GRP78非常保守,受到强烈的功能约束,说明该蛋白质在进化中非常重要.RT-PCR分析表明,相对于本底水平,34℃热激和Poly I:c诱导后,草鱼GRP78在肝、肾等组织巾的表达明显上调.图4表1参16

鲢鱼、草鱼和尼罗罗非鱼热休克蛋白70基因cDNA全序列的克隆与分析

采用RT-PCR技术和RACE技术分别从淡水食毒藻鱼类鲢鱼（Hypophthalmichthys molitrix）、尼罗罗非鱼（Oreochromis nilotica）及草食性鱼类草鱼（Ctenopharyngodon idella）肝脏扩增出热休克蛋白70（HSP70）cDNA全序列,并与其它鱼类、两栖类和哺乳类动物的HSP70氨基酸进行了同源性比较. 结果表明,鲢鱼、草鱼和尼罗罗非鱼肝脏HSP70基因cDNA全长分别为2356 bp、2348 bp和2242 bp,分别编码649、649和638个氨基酸.鲢鱼、草鱼和尼罗罗非鱼HSP70与其它鱼类、两栖类和哺乳类动物HSP70氨基酸同源性均较高,表明其在进化上高度保守,且承担着重要的生理功能.构建系统进化树发现,鲢鱼、草鱼与其它鲤科鱼类斑马鱼、银鲫（Carassius auratus gibelio）的HSP70氨基酸同源性较高,处于同一进化树分枝;而尼罗罗非鱼HSP70未与其它鲈形目鱼类,如鲷科鱼类聚为一枝,而是占据一个独立的分枝,这与克隆得到的鲢鱼、草鱼肝脏HSP70基因可能为结构型HSP70,而尼罗罗非鱼肝脏HSP70基因可能为诱导型HSP70的结果相一致.     

Optimal biomass allocation in heterogeneous environments in a clonal plant—Spatial division of labor

When interconnected ramets of clonal plants are growing in heterogeneous environments, ramets may specialize to uptake locally abundant resources rather than scarce resources. This biomass allocation pattern may result in more efficient sharing of resources through physiological integration and an overall benefit to the plants (spatial division of labor; DoL).     

Cost-Effective Suppression and Eradication of Invasive Predators

Abstract: Introduced predators can have pronounced effects on naïve prey species; thus, predator control is often essential for conservation of threatened native species. Complete eradication of the predator, although desirable, may be elusive in budget‐limited situations, whereas predator suppression is more feasible and may still achieve conservation goals. We used a stochastic predator–prey model based on a Lotka‐Volterra system to investigate the cost‐effectiveness of predator control to achieve prey conservation. We compared five control strategies: immediate eradication, removal of a constant number of predators (fixed‐number control), removal of a constant proportion of predators (fixed‐rate control), removal of predators that exceed a predetermined threshold (upper‐trigger harvest), and removal of predators whenever their population falls below a lower predetermined threshold (lower‐trigger harvest). We looked at the performance of these strategies when managers could always remove the full number of predators targeted by each strategy, subject to budget availability. Under this assumption immediate eradication reduced the threat to the prey population the most. We then examined the effect of reduced management success in meeting removal targets, assuming removal is more difficult at low predator densities. In this case there was a pronounced reduction in performance of the immediate eradication, fixed‐number, and lower‐trigger strategies. Although immediate eradication still yielded the highest expected minimum prey population size, upper‐trigger harvest yielded the lowest probability of prey extinction and the greatest return on investment (as measured by improvement in expected minimum population size per amount spent). Upper‐trigger harvest was relatively successful because it operated when predator density was highest, which is when predator removal targets can be more easily met and the effect of predators on the prey is most damaging. This suggests that controlling predators only when they are most abundant is the “best” strategy when financial resources are limited and eradication is unlikely.

Non-Fickian dispersion in a single fracture

Solute transport in fractured rocks is of major interest in many applications, from the petroleum industry to ground water management. This work focuses on the dispersion process in a transparent replica of a real single fracture. The fracture exhibits strong changes in heterogeneity, with the first half very heterogeneous and the second half fairly homogeneous. Three models have been used to interpret the tracer experiments: the classical advection-dispersion equation (ADE), the continuous time random walk (CTRW), and the stratified model. The main goals were to test these models and to study possible correlations between fitting parameters and heterogeneities. As expected, the solution derived from the ADE equation appears to be unable to model long-time tailing behavior. On the other hand, the results confirm the CTRW robustness and the coefficient beta seems well correlated to heterogeneities. Finally, the stratified model is also able to describe non-Fickian dispersion. The parameters defined by this model are correlated to the heterogeneities of the fracture.
