Inhibition of guanosine triphosphate（GTP） and cytidine triphosphate（CTP） biosynthetic pathways induces cells to assemble rod/ring（RR） structures,also named cytoophidia,which consist of the enzymes cytidine triphosphate synthase（CTPS） and inosine-50-monophosphate dehydrogenase 2（IMPDH2）.We aim to explore the interaction of CTPS and IMPDH2 in the generation of RR *** la and COS-7 cells were cultured in normal conditions or in the presence of 6-diazo-5-oxo-l-norleucine（DON）,ribavirin,or mycophenolic acid（MPA）.Over 90% of DON-treated cells presented RR *** He la cells,35% of the RR structures were positive for IMPDH2 alone,26% were CTPS alone,and 31% were IMPDH2/CTPS mixed,while in COS-7 cells,42% of RR were IMPDH2 alone,41% were CTPS alone,and 10% were IMPDH2/CTPS *** and MPA treatments induced only IMPDH2-based *** were also transfected with an N-terminal hemagglutinin（NHA）-tagged CTPS1 *** 95% of NHA-CTPS1 transfected cells with DON treatment presented IMPDH2-based RR and almost 100% presented CTPS1-based RR;when treated with ribavirin,over 94% of transfected cells presented IMPDH2-based RR and 37% presented CTPS1-based RR,whereas 2% of untreated transfected cells presented IMPDH2-based RR and 28% presented CTPS1-based *** results may help in understanding the relationship between CTP and GTP biosynthetic pathways,especially concerning the formation of filamentous RR structures.

Die filling is a critical stage during powder compaction,which can significantly affect the product quality and *** this paper,a forced feeder is introduced attempting to improve the filling performance of a lab-scale die filling *** die filling process is analysed with a graphics processing units(GPU)enhanced discrete element method(DEM).Various stirrer designs are assessed for a wide range of process settings(i.e.,stirrer speed,filling speed)to explore their influence on the die filling performance of free-flowing *** results show that die filing with the novel helical-ribbon(i.e.,type D)stirrer design exhibits the highest filling ratio,implying that it is the most robust stirrer design for the feeder configuration ***,die filling performance with the type D stirrer design is a function of the stirrer speed and the filling speed.A positive variation of filling ratio(ηf>0%)can be ensured over the whole range of filling speed by adjusting the stirrer speed(i.e.,increasing the stirrer speed).The approach used in this study can not only help understand how the stirrer design affects the die filling performance but also guide the optimization of feeder system and process settings.

Capabilities to assimilate Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite “R-series ”(GOES-R) Geostationary lightning Mapper(GlM) flash extent density(FED) data within the operational Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation ensemble kalman filter(GSI-EnkF) framework were previously developed and tested with a mesoscale convective system(MCS) case. In this study, such capabilities are further developed to assimilate GOES GlM FED data within the GSI ensemble-variational(EnVar) hybrid data assimilation(DA) framework. The results of assimilating the GlM FED data using 3DVar, and pure En3DVar(PEn3DVar, using 100% ensemble covariance and no static covariance) are compared with those of EnkF/DfEnkF for a supercell storm case. The focus of this study is to validate the correctness and evaluate the performance of the new implementation rather than comparing the performance of FED DA among different DA schemes. Only the results of 3DVar and pEn3DVar are examined and compared with EnkF/DfEnkF. Assimilation of a single FED observation shows that the magnitude and horizontal extent of the analysis increments from PEn3DVar are generally larger than from EnkF, which is mainly caused by using different localization strategies in EnFk/DfEnkF and PEn3DVar as well as the integration limits of the graupel mass in the observation operator. Overall, the forecast performance of PEn3DVar is comparable to EnkF/DfEnkF, suggesting correct implementation.

透过作者自身已出版的相关译作,在翻译中国经典文献时,有三个既各自独立又彼此相连的方面需要关注,那就是词源、古文字和声韵。结合《老子》《周易》《礼记·缁衣》《诗经》等文本的翻译可见,词源既包括中文原文字词的出处,也包括作为目标语言的英文文字的词源。古文字问题则只限于古汉语;就文中的举例而言,这一方面还时常涉及新出土的早期中国文字材料。关于声韵,翻译时至少应当尝试模仿原文文字的发音。当然,英文与中文的发音不可能一模一样,并不需要照搬原文的韵律,然而模仿原文的节奏经常会有助于翻译。
