Several problems exists in a line-structured light streak image issues such as light spot interference, uneven distribution of light intensity, large differences in the width of the light bars, and complex background. This paper proposed a solution to overcome these problems. First, the structured light image is binarized using the Otsu method. Then, the improved density-based spatial clustering of applications with nose (DBSCAN) algorithm is used to retain the core points and remove the boundary and noise points. Finally, the core points are used as inputs to construct the graph data structure, and the shortest path search algorithm that fits the line-structured light streak image is used to obtain the center-line of the light streak. The experimental results show that the algorithm of this paper runs within 150 ms and the error is within 0.2 pixels. Moreover, this algorithm is applicable to various complex environments, meeting the requirements of real-time calculations, accuracy, and stability.

In this study, we used a larval zebrafish epilepsy model to evaluate the antiepileptic activity of Rhizoma Gastrodiae from two different regions. In addition, we employed metabolomics technology based on liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry/QE plus to detect the ingredients in Rhizoma Gastrodiae and performed pattern analysis to identify key differential metabolites. The metabolites were further identified using primary and secondary mass spectrometry data and literature references. This step was followed by the confirmation of their antiepileptic activity using the zebrafish epilepsy model. The results showed that nine extracts of Rhizoma Gastrodiae significantly reduced the number of whirls in zebrafish, and significant differences in antiepileptic activity were observed between the Rhizoma Gastrodiae samples from the two regions (P<0.05). Metabolomics and pattern analysis identified six important differential metabolites (Parishin E, Gastrodin, Parishin C, Parishin D, N6-p-hydroxybenzyl adenosine, and 4,4'-dihydroxydibenzyl ether). Activity verification results showed that Parishin E, Gastrodin, and N6-p-hydroxybenzyl adenosine significantly inhibited zebrafish epilepsy-like behavior. This study utilized the zebrafish model and metabolomics to identify and determine several active antiepileptic ingredients in Rhizoma Gastrodiae. Of these, Parishin E and N6- p-hydroxybenzyl adenosine were reported for the first time to exhibit antiepileptic activity, thereby serving as a valuable reference for further research on the antiepileptic effects of Rhizoma Gastrodiae.

However, the geochemical characteristics of soil silicon in different forms in coastal wetlands still need further investigation. In this study, we selected four typical coastal wetlands (nonflooding Phragmites australis, tidal P. australis, freshwater P. australis, and tidal Suaeda salsa wetlands) as sampling sites and collected soils from 0 to 20 cm depth. Furthermore, we determined oxalate-extractable silicon, dithionite-citrate-extractable silicon, pyrophosphate-extractable silicon and analyzed their soil physical and chemical properties, distribution patterns, and influencing factors in typical coastal wetlands. Results showed that dithionite-citrate-extractable silicon and pyrophosphate-extractable silicon showed no significant differences among four wetlands (p>0.05), while oxalate-extractable silicon in nonflooding P. australis wetlands was significantly lower than tidal P. australis wetlands (p<0.05). As for the profile distribution, the three types of extractable silicon in soils from 0 to 10 cm were generally higher than in soils from 10 cm to 20 cm. Additionally, the correlation analysis revealed that soil organic matter, total nitrogen, bulk density, pH, silt and moisture were important factors influencing these three types of extractable silicon.

Complex system reliability LIU Yimeng, BAI Mingyang, ZHANG Xiaoke, LI Daqing Shandong Science    2024, 37 (2): 74-84.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20240025 Abstract （149）   HTML （11）    PDF（pc） （2380KB）（124）       Knowledge map    Save With the development of science and technology, the systematization, networking and intelligentization of the social technology system gradually deepen, forming the complexity of the system. The failures of these complex systems, such as traffic jams, rumor spreading, and financial collapse, can be regarded as a kind of "1+1<2" negative emergence of system capability, which is difficult to understand directly through the reduction analysis of system components. It challenges the classical reliability theory. Research on the complex systems reliability mainly focuses on failures laws, which includes two perspectives. One is the study of system vulnerability considering failure propagation. The other is the study of system adaptability considering failure recovery. System vulnerability studies focus on exploring the internal mechanism of system collapse, namely the failure propagation mechanism. System adaptability studies focus on the capacity to adapt and recover, including the system failure recovery mechanism. Based on this, the article introduces relevant research on reliability method.

The evolution model and simulation of the viral load of subway passengers LU Shoufeng, HUANG Zhikang, ZHAO Hongyun Shandong Science    2024, 37 (2): 97-103.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20230108 Abstract （146）   HTML （3）    PDF（pc） （2440KB）（33）       Knowledge map    Save A functional relationship was constructed between the probability of inhaling viruses and social distance to characterize the viral transmission of subway passengers at the microscopic level. Formulas for calculating the increase and decrease of viral load were constructed based on establishing the viral load evolution equation. Normalized parameters were used within this equation to describe the effect of pandemic prevention measures. The viral load of each passenger was programmed through the Anylogic software’s secondary development interface to characterize the viral load change at the pre- and post-infection phases. In the initial simulation settings, 10% of the passengers were infected with the virus, including ordinary carriers and supercarriers. The evolution of the virus under different passenger number conditions within subway carriages was simulated, which was categorized into with-control and without-control scenarios. The simulation results showed the following: as the number of passengers increases, the passenger density increases, the virus transmission increases, and the individual viral load increases rapidly. Isolating passengers with a viral load greater than a threshold of 1 000 and prohibiting them from taking the subway can reduce the viral load of all passengers by an order of magnitude.

The spatiotemporal variation characteristics and climate impact analysis of vegetation NPP in Shandong Province LIU Jianjun, SUN Kaizheng, GONG Hualin, ZHU Yuling Shandong Science    2024, 37 (5): 103-110.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20240008 Abstract （144）   HTML （6）    PDF（pc） （5199KB）（48）       Knowledge map    Save Based on MOD17A3 product data for Shandong Province from 2010 to 2022, this study uses univariate regression trend analysis, the coefficient of variation method, partial correlation analysis, and the Hurst index method to investigate the spatiotemporal distribution of vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) for the ecosystem of Shandong Province and analyze the impact of climate factors. Results demonstrate the fluctuating upward trend of vegetation NPP for Shandong Province in recent years, with an annual average of (398.03±150.20) g/(m2·a), higher than the national average and comparable with that of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Vegetation NPP varies considerably across different areas. The vegetation NPP in the eastern coastal hilly area is higher than that in the inland plain area. With respect to interannual variation, the overall vegetation NPP in Shandong Province is relatively stable. With regard to the variation trend of vegetation NPP, the areas of positive and negative trends are equivalent. The trend analysis shows that 27.86% of the areas show an increasing trend, whereas 33.49% show a decreasing trend. However, the areas that have shifted from the increasing trend to the decreasing trend are mostly in woodland areas with high vegetation NPP levels, and further research is needed. In general, a positive correlation exists between vegetation NPP and climate factors. Temperature has a wider and more considerable impact on vegetation NPP than precipitation; moreover, the correlation between vegetation NPP and climate factors is poor in plain agricultural areas.

Ship heave motion prediction method based on wavelet transform and improved time series model LIU Zhizhen, HUANG Lumeng, SUN Yapeng, ZHANG Ying, LIU Zhendong Shandong Science    2024, 37 (6): 1-11.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20240019 Abstract （139）   HTML （377）    PDF（pc） （6283KB）（55）       Knowledge map    Save Lag in detecting ship heave motion signals severely affects the performance of ocean heave compensation systems. Therefore, accurate heave motion prediction can effectively improve the stability and real-time performance of these systems. To improve the engineering practicability of a heave motion prediction model, we designed an autoregressive time-series model featuring high calculation efficiency, simple programing, and a small accumulation error. Moreover, to further address the poor adaptability of the model to nonlinear and nonstationary complex sea conditions and long-term predictions, we developed a combined prediction model based on wavelet transform and improved autoregression using the wavelet multiscale analysis method and achieved online multistep prediction of heave motions by decomposing and transforming historical data, reconstructing sub-sequence prediction, and forecasting data synthesis. Finally, theoretical testing and experiments were conducted on stationary random waveforms and nonstationary waveforms measured on ships. The analysis results show that the combined model exhibits good prediction performance and can effectively reduce the control error of the ocean heave compensation system caused by the lag in the heave motion signal detection.

Evaluation model for the value of airport advertising spaces based on passenger traffic YANG Jun, MU Jianliang, YUAN Xiaoting, TANG Tieqiao, MU Xuanyu Shandong Science    2024, 37 (3): 103-110.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20230140 Abstract （138）   HTML （5）    PDF（pc） （3256KB）（87）       Knowledge map    Save The issue of the pricing of airport advertising revenue, a crucial component of non-aeronautical income in airports, holds significant importance in the operational management of airports. Currently, most airports in China commonly adopt a pricing mechanism based on historical price inertia, while also making adjustments to advertising prices by appropriately considering the total passenger flow for the current year. This pricing mechanism struggles to effectively reflect the true value of advertisements in different locations. This paper proposes a pricing mechanism based on passenger traffic to assess the relative value of advertising spaces within airport terminals. Utilizing a mathematical model combined with the physical layout, and flight and passenger data of the airport, we calculate the distribution of passenger traffic and subsequently evaluate the value of advertising spaces based on this information. Additionally, we apply this approach using sample data from the Capital International Airport. The findings demonstrate that the application of this model can reveal variations in the value of airport advertising spaces with the same media format across different spatial and temporal contexts. This lays the theoretical groundwork for airport advertising management entities to further implement differential dynamic pricing strategies and flexible advertising placement policies.

Monopterus albus peptides and disease targets were filtered using BIOPEP-UWM, SwissTargetPrediction, GeneCards, STRING, and other databases. Target GO functional enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed using the DAVID bioinformatics software, and the Monopterus albus peptides-potential target-signaling pathway network and theprotein-protein interaction (PPI) network were constructed. The results showed that Monopterus albus peptides at mass concentrations of 62.5 μg/mL and 125.0 μg/mL significantly reduced the intensity of the triglyceride staining signal (p<0.01) and cholesterol fluorescence intensity (p<0.001) in the vasculature of hyperlipidemic zebrafish. The results of network pharmacology showed that there were 35 potentially active peptide sequences in Monopterus albus peptides, and 21 core targets were obtained by protein interaction analysis. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses indicated that Monopterus albus peptides were mainly involved in biological processes such asregulation of lipid metabolic processes, and exertan antihyperlipidemia effect viainflammation regulation, insulin resistance, and lipid and atherosclerosis channels. Initially, this study confirmed that Monopterus albus peptides have an antihyperlipidemia effect, and revealed that Monopterus albus peptides have multiple active peptide fragments, multiple targets, and multiple channels in the biological process of reducing blood lipid levels, which will provide a theoretical basis and reference for further in-depth research on the material basis of Monopterus albus peptides and their role and application in countering hyperlipidemia.

Herein, Ti1-xNbxCoSb Half-Heusler alloys with low thermal conductivity were successfully prepared by microwave synthesis combined with rapid hot-pressing sintering, which substantially shortened the preparation cycle and increased the density of TiCoSb Half-Heusler alloys. Furthermore, we studied the effects of Nb substitution at Ti sites on the phase composition, composition distribution, and thermoelectric transport properties of Ti1-xNbx CoSb Half-Heusler thermoelectric materials. Additionally, the figure of merit(ZT) of Ti1-xNbx CoSb samples were considerably optimized under the combined effects of increasing power factor and decreasing lattice thermal conductivity. The results showed that the Ti0.93Nb0.07CoSb sample had a maximum ZT of 0.1 at 725 K, which was two orders of magnitude higher than that of the TiCoSb sample prepared by the same process.

Effects of aluminum diethylphosphinate/aluminum hypophosphite on the properties of natural rubber/butadiene rubber composites XU Lijie, LI Song, LI Lin Shandong Science    2024, 37 (3): 66-75.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20230115 Abstract （128）   HTML （5）    PDF（pc） （9945KB）（109）       Knowledge map    Save The flame retardants aluminum diethylphosphinate (ADP) and aluminum hypophosphite (ALHP) were introduced into natural rubber (NR) and butadiene rubber (BR) to prepare the composites. In this study, we compared the effects of the two flame retardants on the processing characteristics, physical properties, flame retardancy, mechanical properties, and abrasion resistance of the composites. Results showed that both flame retardants delayed the vulcanization of the composites, increased the Mooney viscosity. ADP exhibited a more evident increase in Mooney viscosity than ALHP. When ADP and ALHP was added at 45 phr, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) of the composites increased from 22.1% to 28.7% and 24.5%, respectively. The addition of ADP and ALHP reduced the rebound resilience of the composites, but increased hardness of it. The flame retardants reduced the tensile strength, elongation at break, and tear strength of the composites. Both flame retardants had an adverse effect on the abrasion resistance, with the abrasion loss of the composites increasing by 100% and 85% at 45 phr of ADP and ALHP, respectively. When graphene is used as a carbonization agent for ADP-containing composites, it can improve the flame retardancy without affecting the abrasion resistance. ADP and ALHP have different degrees of influence on the properties of NR/BR composites. Due to the high carbon content of ADP and volatilization by heat, the flame retardancy of NR/BR composites is greatly improved. But the tensile strength and abrasion resistance of the composites are lower than that of the ALHP-containing composites. Table and Figures | Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

First, the CTNet backbone network is introduced, which has a deeper network structure and multiscale feature extraction module compared with CSPDarknet53. Not only can it better learn the multilevel features of dense objects but can also improve the model’s ability to handle complex traffic scenarios. Moreover, it directs the model’s focus toward the feature information of small objects, thereby improving the detection performance for small-scale objects. Second, Vit-Block is incorporated, which integrates more features by parallelly combining convolution and Transformer. This approach balances the relevance of local and contextual information, thereby enhancing detection accuracy. Finally, the Reasonable module is added after the Neck network, introducing attention mechanisms to further improve the robustness of the object detection algorithm against complex scenarios and occluded objects. Experimental results indicate that compared with baseline algorithms, YOLO-T achieves a 1.92% and 12.78% increase in detection accuracy on the KITTI and BDD100K datasets, respectively. This enhancement effectively boosts detection performance in complex traffic scenarios and can assist drivers to better predict the behaviors of other vehicles, thus reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents.

The orthogonal test evaluation method was used; the evaluation factors were the amount of activated charcoal, boiling time, and the temperature of the solution during charcoal removal. Furthermore, the transfer rates of paeoniflorin and dry matter were used as evaluation indicators. Variance and visual analyses as well as accelerated stability tests were conducted to optimize the activated charcoal purification process for Xiaojianzhong mixture.In order to carry out these above experiments, three batches of Xiaojianzhong mixture preparations were produced for long-term stability testing. Results showed that the optimal parameters for the activated charcoal boiling purification process of Xiaojianzhong mixture preparations were 0.4% activated charcoal usage, 30 min of activated charcoal boiling time, and a liquid temperature of 100 ℃ during filtration. The average transfer rates of paeoniflorin and dry matter in expanded production under these process conditions were 75.24% and 89.08%, respectively. The optimal activated charcoal boiling purification process obtained from this test can ensure the clarity and stability of Xiaojianzhong mixture preparations while maximizing the retention of paeoniflorin and dry matter, thereby ensuring stable and uniform drug efficacy. This study provides a scientific and reasonable basis forclarifying and optimizing the parameters of the activated charcoal boiling purification process for Xiaojianzhong mixture.

The new graphene can meet the requirements of low cost, high output, and environmental protection. Graphene-SiO2 hybrid materials were obtained by reacting SiO2 treated with silane coupling agent (KH550) modification and graphene modified with tannic acid to form strong hybridization bonds, and the success of obtaining graphene-SiO2 hybrid materials was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of graphene-SiO2 hybrid material in styrene-butadiene/polybutadiene composites were studied. In addition, the mechanical properties and the electrical and thermal conductivity of the blend of conductive carbon black and graphene-SiO2 hybrid material in styrene-butadiene/polybutadiene composite were investigated. The results show that: at the addition of 1 part per hundred(phr) of graphene-SiO2 hybrid material, the butadiene/cis rubber composites obtained relatively good wear resistance, if the loading is more than 1 phr, the graphene fillers will easily reaggregate with each other, resulting in an increase in wear volume compared with the blank control group. Moreover, when 8 phrs of self-made graphene were added, the conductivity increased by 1 000 times, and the antistatic properties of rubber composites were considerably improved.

These approaches result in low efficiency and poor accuracy in tracking individuals. To address this issue, we propose an efficient method for selecting surveillance camera videos based on the principles of the queuing and vertex-weighted directed graph theories. In this method, we treat cameras as vertices and construct a weighted directed graph. By calculating weights, we can determine the optimal monitoring paths considering the connections and weights between cameras. The key advantage of this method is its efficient selection of surveillance camera videos. Additionally, by combining the optimal movement paths of target passengers in urban rail transit nodes with individual tracking, we use the concept of vertex-weighted directed graphs to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of person recognition. The research results show the great significance of this method in improving the performance of surveillance systems and individual tracking capabilities. By applying the queuing and vertex-weighted directed graph theories for individual tracking, we offer an innovative approach to address practical problems and enhance system performance. This method holds great importance in enhancing surveillance system performance and individual tracking capabilities. Table and Figures | Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Therefore, it has a broad application prospect in the energy storage and conversion. In this study, a dynamic mathematical model for the compressed sCO2 energy storage system (SC-CCES) was established based on the mass conservation and energy conservation laws and the reliability of the model was verified. Additionally, dynamic simulations of the SC-CCES system with single-stage compression and single-stage expansion were performed using Matlab/Simulink. Under the designed operating conditions, the energy storage efficiency of the SC-CCES system was found to be 51.98%, with an energy storage density of 447.8 kWh/m3. The energy storage density of the SC-CCES system was more than 20 times higher than that of a traditional compressed air energy storage system. Furthermore, the impact of different high-pressure tank inlet pressures on system performance was analyzed. The results showed that the energy storage efficiency increases with the increase of the inlet pressure of the high-pressure storage tank, while the energy storage density is exactly the opposite.

Vehicle safety potential field and car-following model based on traffic environment perception ZAN Yuyao, WANG Xiang, WANG Kexin, SHEN Jiayan Shandong Science    2024, 37 (3): 111-120.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20230064 Abstract （120）   HTML （8）    PDF（pc） （3516KB）（97）       Knowledge map    Save The safety potential field is utilized to characterize the distribution of safety risks around a vehicle during the driving process. However, when analyzing the safety potential field formed by moving vehicles, the existing models only focus on the vehicle motion but ignore the traffic environment information perceived by drivers. This study focuses on the construction of an improved safety potential field model and its application to the car-following model. Herein, the relative state influence factor is introduced to strengthen the influence of relative speed among vehicles, and the traffic state influence factor is introduced to reflect its influence on driving safety. Moreover, the vehicle type coefficient is introduced to adjust the distance to reflect its influence on driving safety in mixed vehicle type traffic. The car-following model is developed by using the preceptive safety potential field to establish the relationship between the motion state of the front vehicle and the behavior of the following vehicle. Furthermore, the genetic algorithm is employed to calibrate the proposed model, the intelligent driver model, and the car-following model based on the safety potential field. The results show that the root mean square errors of these three models mentioned before are 6.124, 8.515 and 7.248 respectively, which proves that the model proposed in this paper can describe car-following behavior more accurately. Therefore, this study can provide theoretical support for driving risk evaluation and vehicle control under a complex environment. Table and Figures | Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

The mechanism by which Gandouling tablets improve ferroptosis in hepatolenticular degeneration through PKCβⅡ/ACSL4/ALOX5 signaling pathway regulation WU Bojin, DONG Ting, WEN Yuya, TIAN Liwei, ZHAO Chenling Shandong Science    2024, 37 (4): 34-44.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20230170 Abstract （119）   HTML （15）    PDF（pc） （3992KB）（63）       Knowledge map    Save This study investigates the effects of Gandouling (GDL) tablets on ferroptosis in hepatolenticular degeneration in TX mice and their mechanism of action on the ferroptosis of HT22 cells induced by CuCl2, based on the PKCβII/ACSL4/ ALOX5 signaling pathway. TX mice were divided into five groups: control, model, GDL tablet, Fer-1, and Glutathione. HT22 cells were also divided into five groups: control, model, GDL tablet, Fer-1, and GDL tablet + Fer-1. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to detect the pathological changes in the hippocampus tissues of the mice. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of PKCβⅡ, ACSL4, and ALOX5 in the hippocampus tissues and HT22 cells of the mice, as well as the expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4 in HT22 cells. The content of Fe2+ in the hippocampus tissues of the mice was detected via microassay. The levels of SOD, MDA, and GSH-Px in HT22 cells were detected by microplate assay. Finally, the expression of PKCβⅡ, ACSL4, and ALOX5 mRNA in HT22 cells was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Compared with the control group, the hippocampus tissues of mice in the model group showed clear damage; the protein expression of PKCβⅡ, ACSL4, and ALOX5 showed a clear increase; the protein expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4 decreased significantly; and Fe2+content increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the pathological damage to hippocampus tissues showed improvements in the GDL tablet, Fer-1, and Glutathione group with the effects being noticeable in the GDL tablet group. It was possible to inhibit ferroptosis of HT22 cells in the GDL tablet and Fer-1 group and significantly lower their expression of PKCβⅡ, ACSL4, and ALOX5 protein and mRNA in comparison to the model group(P<0.05). The MDA contentalso decreased significantly (P<0.05) while the SOD activity and the GSH-Px content increased significantly(P<0.05). Thus, GDL tablets can inhibit ferroptosis in hippocampus tissues of TX mice andinhibit ferroptosis induced by CuCl2 in HT22 cells. Moreover, the ferroptosis mechanism may be related to the down-regulation of the PKCβⅡ, ACSL4, and ALOX5 signaling pathway and the attenuation of intracellular lipid peroxidation.

This model comprises two scenarios: considering and not considering the sequence of ships entering the lock. First, a two-dimensional packing problem model was employed to establish a continuous gear shifting model for ship lock chambers. Then, an algorithm for solving the aforementioned continuous gear shifting model based on a greedy strategy was proposed. Finally, simulated ship data for vessels arriving at the lock was generated based on the Baise Junction Project. The proposed algorithm was used to calculate the lock chamber gear arrangement. Results indicate that, in the case of randomly generated data for 90 ships, 47 lock cycles were required for the gear arrangement considering the ship arrival sequence, with an average occupancy rate of 76.424%. However, only 45 locks were needed for the gear arrangement when the ship arrival sequence was not considered, with an average occupancy rate of 76.821%. The proposed model and algorithm can effectively shift gears continuously in the ship lock chamber under various conditions. Table and Figures | Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Herein, upon analyzing network characteristics using UCINET as a basis, the maximum connected subgraph ratio and overall network efficiency are selected as indicators to analyze the resilience of the rail transit network. Then, the article comprehensively analyzes the attribute values of nodes and employs the TOPSIS method to rank the importance of nodes using the coefficient of variation for weighting. Then network resilience is analyzed by destroying individual nodes with high importance, and network recovery is achieved through indicator-based ranking restoration strategies, ultimately yielding the average resilience value of the rail transit network. Furthermore, the resilience and robustness of the rail transit network of Nanjing in 2022 is analyzed based on the established model. Results show that nodes with high degree values often have a greater impact on resilience than other indicators. Prioritizing the repair of nodes with the highest degree values leads to the greatest increase in network efficiency, whereas repairing nodes with the highest closeness to the center has less impact on network efficiency.

The anti-aging activity of P. quinquefolius L. was evaluated in a zebrafish aging model. The active ingredients of P. quinquefolius L. and their potential targets related to anti-aging were screened using databases, and protein-protein interaction networks (PPI) were mapped to screen core targets. Enrichment analysis and molecular docking verification of the core targets were performed. SA-β-Gal staining results showed that P. quinquefolius L. exerted significant anti-aging activity.Database screening identified 11 active ingredients and 53 potential core targets of P. quinquefolius L. in anti-aging, such as AKT1, STAT3, and JUN. The results of GO and KEGG analysis showed that the anti-aging effects of P. quinquefolius L. may involve factors including xenobiotic stimulus response, negative regulation of apoptotic processes, PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, ErbB signaling pathway. Molecular docking results showed that polyacetylene PQ-2 and PQ-2 were tightly bound with their core targets, and tight binding was also seen with AKT1 and HRAS with various active ingredients. P. quinquefolius L. may act on multiple targets such as AKT1, HRAS, and MAPK1 through polyacetylene PQ-2, PQ-2, and other ingredients, and then regulate multiple pathways such as endocrine resistance, ErbB signaling pathway, and other mechanisms to exert an anti-aging effect.Collectively, these dataprovide a theoretical basis for the application of P. quinquefolius L. in anti-aging.

Advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage (AA-CAES) is an effective method to address the intermittency of renewable energy. In this study, a mathematical model for the energy storage stage of AA-CAES is established, and dynamic and sensitivity analysis of the conservation of energy, energy balance, and key parameters of each component are conducted. The results reveal that the proposed mathematical model follows the laws of conservation of energy and exergy balance; the exergy loss of the compressor is greater than that of the heat exchanger; energy and heat are mainly stored in heat transfer oil and high-pressure air, respectively; the deviation between compressor operating and design condition reduces the efficiency; the effect of the air flow rate and inlet temperature of the first-stage turbine on the operation time is greater than that of the storage temperature, adiabatic efficiency and stored air mass. This paper provides reference for adjusting parameters and optimizing energy storage system according to actual demand. Table and Figures | Reference | Related Articles | Metrics
