| 1 | Tree ring based streamflow reconstruction for the Upper Yellow River over the past 1234 years显示文摘We established a Juniperus przewalski tree ring width chronology, based on tree ring cores collected from the A’nyêmaqên Mountains. Statistical analysis showed that the chronology was highly correlated with instrumental streamflow records from previous August to current July from the Tangnaihai Station in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, with a correlation coefficient of 0.656. Streamflow for the upper reaches of the Yellow River was reconstructed for the past 1234 years. Low flow periods for the 11-year averaged streamflow reconstruction were definite as lower than mean plus 1 standard deviation, and high flow periods were higher than mean minus 1 standard deviation. Over the past 1234 years, high flows occurred 18 times, and low flows occurred 12 times. The main low flow periods were identified as AD 1140–1156, AD 1295–1309, AD 1473–1500, and AD 1820–1847, and the main high flow periods were identified as AD 846–873, and AD 1375–1400. Extremely low streamflow over the reconstruction period was seen during the late 15th century, coinciding with a widespread drought phenomenon, which took place in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau over the same period. Reconstructed streamflow shows significant low-frequency variability, which is in line with drought variability of neighboring regions, as inferred from tree rings and other proxies. Multi-taper spectral analysis suggests the existence of significant periods of 2–5, 22, 35–38, 55–62, and 114–227 years, particularly significant for cyclic variations of years 159 and 36. | GOU XiaoHua DENG Yang CHEN FaHu YANG MeiXue FANG KeYan GAO LinLin YANG Tao ZHANG Fen | 2010 | Chinese Science Bulletin2010,55,36: | 37 |
| 2 | Electrospun Nanofibrous Materials for Wound Healing显示文摘Wound dressing materials which are capable of meeting the demands of accelerating wound closure and promoting wound healing process have being highly desired.Electrospun nanofibrous materials show great application potentials for wound healing owing to relatively large surface area,better mimicry of native extracellular matrix,adjustable waterproofness and breathability,and programmable drug delivery process.In this review article,we begin with a discussion of wound healing process and current commercial wound dressing materials.Then,we emphasize on electrospun nanofibrous materials for wound dressing,covering the efforts for controlling fiber alignment and morphology,constructing 3D scaffolds,developing waterproof-breathable membrane,governing drug delivery performance,and regulating stem cell behavior.Finally,we finish with challenges and future prospects of electrospun nanofibrous materials for wound dressings. | Yuping Dong Yuqi Zheng Keyan Zhang Yueming Yao Lihuan Wang Xiaoran Li Jianyong Yu Bin Ding | 2020 | Advanced Fiber Materials2020,2,4: | 10 |
| 3 | Searching for novel materials via 4f chemistry显示文摘4f chemistry studies the chemical bonding characteristics of fifteen lanthanide (Ln) elements in the periodic table and their wide applications in materials sciences and engineering, which forms the scientific fundamentals ofⅥperiodic elements in the periodic table of elements. Orbital hybridization modes of Ln elements clarify their chemical bonding nature in all reaction systems. Wide coordination number (CN) option, ranging from 2 to 16, is the reason why Ln elements are the treasure of new materials, therefore, searching for novel materials may be well carried out via the rational design of coordination environment of central Ln cations to stabilize their variable energy states. Balance utilization of Ln elements is dependent on their coordination architecture in the crystallographic frame, Ln elements can be replaced by non-Ln elements when CN <10, and when CN≥10 expensive Ln elements can be replaced by those cheaper ones. | Congting Sun Keyan Li Dongfeng Xue | 2019 | Journal of Rare Earths2019,37,1: | 9 |
| 4 | The Impacts of Permafrost Change on NPP and Implications:A Case of the Source Regions of Yangtze and Yellow Rivers显示文摘This paper studies the relationship between net primary productivity (NPP) and annual average air temperature (GT) at 0cm above ground in permafrost regions by using revised Chikugo NPP model,cubic spline interpolating functions,and non-linear regression methods.The source regions of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers were selected as the research areas.Results illustrate that:(1) There is significant non-linear relationship between NPP and GT in various typical years;(2) The maximum value of NPP is 6.17,5.87,7.73,and 5.41 DM·t·hm-2 ·a-1 respectively,and the corresponding GT is 7.1,10.0,21.2,and 8.9 o C respectively in 1980,1990,2000 and 2007;(3) In 1980,the sensitivity of NPP to GT is higher than in 1990,2000 and 2007.This tendency shows that the NPP presents change from fluctuation to an adaptation process over time;(4) During 1980~2007,the accumulated NPP was reduced to 8.05,and the corresponding carrying capacity of theoretical livestock reduced by 11%;(5) The shape of the demonstration region of ecological compensation system,livelihood support system,and science appraisal system in the source regions of Yangtze and Yellow Rivers are an important research for increasing the adaptation capacity and balancing protection and development. | FANG Yiping QIN Dahe DING Yongjian YANG Jianping XU Keyan | 2011 | Journal of Mountain Science2011,8,3: | 9 |
| 5 | Response of Pinus taiwanensis growth to climate changes at its southern limit of Daiyun Mountain, China's Mainland Fujian Province显示文摘The Pinus taiwanensis trees of a Chinese endemic species form pure forests at infertile sites in humid subtropical China, which can aid soil reservation and ecological resiliency at such sites. Herein, we used dendrochronological methods to investigate the growth patterns and their relationship with climate by analyzing 158 cores of 79 P. taiwanensis trees at 4 sites in their southernmost distribution in China's Mainland at Daiyun Mountain in Fujian Province. Tree growths at sites with favorable conditions generally showed an age-related growth trend, which decreased from approximately 5 mm to 0.5 mm in about a century. Trees in moderately stressed environments established high growth in their juvenile periods but were highly susceptible to environmental stresses such as a sharp growth decline in the 1990 s. The temperature in February and the moisture in July are the major limiting factors for most of the tree growths, except for a few extremely stressed P. taiwanensis trees. The growth of the dwarf P. taiwanensis trees, with all ring diameters of the first 20 years less than 4 mm, is mainly limited by the dry climate in May. Under the potential future warming trend, drought stress can be particularly threatening to these dwarf P. taiwanensis trees, which are likely to be the germplasm resources for this species in this region. | CHEN Dan FANG KeYan LI YingJun DONG ZhiPeng ZHANG Yu ZHOU FeiFei | 2016 | Science China Earth Sciences2016,59,2: | 6 |
| 6 | An experiment-library least-squares method on on-line coal element contents analysis显示文摘A new experiment-library least-squares(experiment-LLs) method used in the neutron inelastic-scattering and thermal-capture analysis(NITA) technique for on-line coal analysis was developed,which has significantly decreased the non-linear radiation effects.In this method,sixty samples with preset elemental contents were made,from whose experimental spectra twenty single-element spectrum libraries corresponding to twenty kinds of coal were built using the least-squares method.The spectrum of the unknown sample was analyzed based on these twenty libraries to estimate its element contents.With the initial estimated result,the procedure of developing library and analysis was iterated to build a new library with the closest element contents to the unknown sample.Hence the experiment-LLs method can reduce non-linear radiation effects.The experiment-LLs method was performed on an improved coal analysis system which was equipped with a long-life 14 MeV pulsed-neutron generator,a bulk BGO detector with a temperature controller,a moisture meter and coal-smoothing device.The precisions of this system for ash content,water content,volatile content and calorific value have reached 1.0wt%,0.5wt%,1.0wt%,350 kJ/kg,respectively. | WANG HuiDong LU JingBin LU YuPing YANG Dong MA KeYan YANG Kang LIU YuMin CHENG DaoWen | 2012 | Science China(Physics,Mechanics & Astronomy)2012,55,11: | 6 |
| 7 | Effects of environmental contaminants on fertility and reproductive health显示文摘Recent research indicates that the human infertility rate is increasing. Although various reasons have been hypothesized for the growing infertility rate, environmental contaminants are potentially important causal agents associated with this change.Chemical contaminants are widespread throughout our environment and human exposure is virtually unavoidable. The overall contribution of environmental exposure to infertility is unknown, but studies involving occupational exposure, together with results from animal experiments, suggest that environmental contaminants may adversely affect fertility. We reviewed the adverse effects of environmental exposure on fertility and related reproductive outcomes. Environmental contaminants covered in this review include heavy metals, organic solvents, pesticides and endocrine disrupting chemicals. It is hoped that this review will highlight the need for further research in this area. | Yanmin Ma Xin He Keyan Qi Tong Wang Yongchao Qi Lele Cui Fengbang Wang Maoyong Song | 2019 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2019,31,3: | 6 |
| 8 | Abrupt vegetation shifts caused by gradual climate changes in central Asia during the Holocene显示文摘Understanding the response of ecosystems to past climate is critical for evaluating the impacts of future climate changes.A large-scale abrupt shift of vegetation in response to the Holocene gradual climate changes has been well documented for the Sahara-Sahel ecosystem. Whether such a non-linear response is of universal significance remains to be further addressed. Here,we examine the vegetation-climate relationships in central Asia based on a compilation of 38 high-quality pollen records. The results show that the Holocene vegetation experienced two major abrupt shifts, one in the early Holocene(Shift I, establishing shift) and another in the late Holocene(Shift II, collapsing shift), while the mid-Holocene vegetation remained rather stable. The timings of these shifts in different regions are asynchronous, which are not readily linkable with any known abrupt climate shifts,but are highly correlated with the local rainfalls. These new findings suggest that the observed vegetation shifts are attributable to the threshold effects of the orbital-induced gradual climate changes. During the early Holocene, the orbital-induced precipitation increase would have first reached the threshold for vegetation 'establishment' for moister areas, but significantly later for drier areas. In contrast, the orbital-induced precipitation decrease during the late Holocene would have first reached the threshold, and led to the vegetation 'collapse' for drier areas, but delayed for moister areas. The well-known 4.2 kyr BP drought event and human intervention would have also helped the vegetation collapses at some sites. These interpretations are strongly supported by our surface pollen-climate analyses and ecosystem simulations. These results also imply that future climate changes may cause abrupt changes in the dry ecosystem once the threshold is reached. | ZHAO Yan LIU YaoLiang GUO ZhengTang FANG KeYan LI Quan CAO XianYong | 2017 | Science China Earth Sciences2017,60,7: | 4 |

| 10 | Hardness of materials:studies at levels from atoms to crystals显示文摘Based on the electron-holding energy per unit volume,we extend the concept of hardness to atomic stiffness,ionic stiffness and bond hardness,investigating the nature of material hardness at these three levels. We find that the stiffness of isolated atoms or ions has no direct connection with the hardness of materials,whereas material hardness is directly related to bond hardness,which is es-sentially determined by the electron-holding energy of its constituent chemical bonds per unit volume. We establish a model for identifying the hardness of materials on the basis of bond hardness. This work offers a deeper understanding of the nature of material hardness at the atomic level,and provides a practical guide in the search for new superhard materials. | LI KeYan XUE DongFeng | 2009 | Chinese Science Bulletin2009,54,1: | 4 |
| 11 | Cloning and characterization of Methoprene-tolerant(Met)and Kruppel homolog 1(Kr-h1)genes in the wheat blossom midge,Sitodiplosis mosellana显示文摘Juvenile hormone(JH),a growth regulator,inhibits ecdysteroid-induced meta-morphosis and controls insect development and diapause.Methoprene-tolerant(Met)and Krippel homolog I(Kr-h1)are two proteins involved in JH action.To gain some insight into their function in development of Sitodiplosis mosellana,an insect pest undergoing obligatory larval diapause at the mature 3rd instar stage,we cloned full-length complemen-tary DNAs of Met and Kr-h1 from this specics.SmMet encoded a putative protein,which contained three domains typical of the bHLH-PAS family and eight conserved amino acid residues important for JH binding.SmKr-h1 encoded a protein showing high sequence homology to its counterparts in other specics,and contained all eight highly conserved Zn-finger motifs for DNA-binding.Expression patterns of SmMet and SmKr hl were de-velopmentally regulated and JH III responsive as well.Their mRNA abundance increased as larvae entered carly 3rd instar,pre-diapause and maintenance stages,and peaked during post-diapause quiescence,a pattern correlated with JH titers in this species.Different from reduced expression of SmMer,SmKr-h1 mRNA increased at mid-to-late period of post-diapause development.Topical application of JH II on diapausing larvac also induced the two genes in a dose-dependent manner.Expression of SmuMer and SmKr-h1 clearly declined in the pre-pupal phase,and was significantly higher in female adults than male adults.These results suggest that JH-responsive SmMet and SmKr-h1 might play key roles in diapause induction and maintenance as well as in post-diapause quiescence and adult reproduction,whereas metamorphosis from larvae to pupac might be correlated with their reduced expression. | Wei-Ning Cheng Xue-Jiao Li Jia-Jia Zhao Keyan Zhu-Salzman | 2020 | Insect Science2020,27,2: | 4 |

| 13 | In-situ Synthesis and Characterization of Poly(vinyl alcohol)/Hydroxyapatite Composite Hydrogel by Freezing-thawing Method显示文摘Poly(vinyl alcohol)/hydroxyapatite(PVA/HA) composite hydrogel was successfully in-situ synthesized via three cycles of freezing-thawing. The composition and structure of products were investigated by X-ray diffraction( XRD), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The influence of different preparation methods and contents of material on the mechanical properties of PVA/HA composite hydrogel was discussed through tensile and compressive tests. The template of PVA could avoid the agglomeration of HA particles, which improves the mechanical properties of the composite hydrogel effectively. The tensile strength, modulus and compressive performances of the PVA/HA composite hydrogel prepared by the in-situ synthesis method were better than those of hydrogel obtained by the simple blend metliod. In addition, the effect of the content of PVA, HA, and the pH value on tlie properties of tlie PVA/HA composite hydrogel has been discussed in detail. | MENG Deyue ZHOU Xiuqing ZHENG Keyan MIAO Chong SHENG Ye ZOU Haifeng | 2019 | Chemical Research in Chinese Universities2019,35,3: | 3 |

| 15 | Difference in Tree Growth Responses to Climate at the Upper Treeline: Qilian Juniper in the Anyemaqen Mountains显示文摘Three ring-width chronologies were developed from Qilian Juniper (Sabina przewalskii Kom.) at the upper treeline along a west-east gradient in the Anyemaqen Mountains. Most chronological statistics, except for mean sensitivity (MS), decreased from west to east. The first principal component (PC1) loadings indicated that stands in a similar climate condition were most important to the variability of radial growth. PC2 loadings decreased from west to east, suggesting the difference of tree-growth between eastern and western Anyemaqen Mountains. Correlations between standard chronologies and climatic factors revealed different climatic in?uences on radial growth along a west-east gradient in the study area. Temperature of warm season (July-August) was important to the radial growth at the upper treeline in the whole study area. Precipitation of current May was an important limiting factor of tree growth only in the western (drier) upper treeline, whereas precipitation of current September limited tree growth in the eastern (wetter) upper treeline. Response function analysis results showed that there were regional differences between tree growth and climatic factors in various sampling sites of the whole study area. Temperature and precipitation were the important factors influencing tree growth in western (drier) upper treeline. However, tree growth was greatly limited by temperature at the upper treeline in the middle area, and was more limited by precipitation than temperature in the eastern (wetter) upper treeline. | Jianfeng Peng Xiaohua Gou Fahu Chen Jinbao Li Puxing Liu Yong Zhang Keyan Fang | 2008 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2008,50,8: | 3 |
| 16 | Research and application of mineral resources assessment by weights of evidence model based on SIG显示文摘Geological data are usually of the characteristics of multi-source, large amount and multi-scale. The construction of Spatial Information Grid overcomes the shortages of personal computers when dealing with geological data. The authors introduce the definition, architecture and flow of mineral resources assessment by weights of evidence model based on Spatial Information Grid (SIG). Meanwhile, a case study on the prediction of copper mineral occurrence in the Middle-Lower Yangtze metallogenic belt is given. The results show that mineral resources assessement based on SIG is an effective new method which provides a way of sharing and integrating distributed geospatial information and improves the efficiency greatly. | Yuanyuan Chuai Keyan Xiao Yihua Xuan Shaobin Zhan | 2006 | Global Geology2006,9,1: | 3 |

| 18 | Bract suppression regulated by the miR156/529-SPLs-NL1-PLA1 module is required for the transition from vegetative to reproductive branching in rice显示文摘Reproductive transition of grasses is characterized by switching the pattern of lateral branches,featuring the suppression of outgrowth of the subtending leaves(bracts)and rapid formation of higher-order branches in the inflorescence(panicle).However,the molecular mechanisms underlying such changes remain largely unknown.Here,we show that bract suppression is required for the reproductive branching in rice.We identified a pathway involving the intrinsic time ruler microRNAI56/529,their targets SQUAMOSA PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN LIKE(SPL)genes,NECK LEAF1(NL1),and PLASTOCHRON1(PLA1),which regulates the bract outgrowth and thus affects the pattern switch between vegetative and reproductive branching.Suppression of the bract results in global reprogramming of transcriptome and chromatin accessibility following the reproductive transition,while these processes are largely dysregu-lated in the mutants of these genes.These discoveries contribute to our understanding of the dynamic plant architecture and provide novel insights for improving crop yields. | Lei Wang Luchang Ming Keyan Liao Chunjiao Xia Shengyuan Sun Yu Chang Hongkai Wang Debao Fu Conghao Xu Zhengji Wang Xu Li Weibo Xie Yidan Ouyang Qinglu Zhang Xianghua Li Qinghua Zhang Jinghua Xiao Qifa Zhang | 2021 | Molecular Plant2021,14,7: | 2 |
| 19 | A Hybrid CNN for Image Denoising显示文摘Deep convolutional neural networks(CNNs)with strong learning abilities have been used in the field of image denoising.However,some CNNs depend on a single deep network to train an image denoising model,which will have poor performance in complex screens.To address this problem,we propose a hybrid denoising CNN(HDCNN).HDCNN is composed of a dilated block(DB),RepVGG block(RVB),feature refinement block(FB),and a single convolution.DB combines a dilated convolution,batch normalization(BN),common convolutions,and activation function of ReLU to obtain more context information.RVB uses parallel combination of convolution,BN,and ReLU to extract complementary width features.FB is used to obtain more accurate information via refining obtained feature from the RVB.A single convolution collaborates a residual learning operation to construct a clean image.These key components make the HDCNN have good performance in image denoising.Experiment shows that the proposed HDCNN enjoys good denoising effect in public data sets. | Menghua Zheng Keyan Zhi Jiawen Zeng Chunwei Tian Lei You | 2022 | Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Technology2022,2,3: | 2 |
| 20 | Vegetation and climate change during Marine Isotope Stage 3 in China显示文摘Fossil pollen records from 45 sites across China were evaluated and synthesized to document vegetation and climate change during Marine Isotope Stage 3(MIS 3)at 60–27 ka and to understand the large-scale controls.During MIS3, vegetation type was dominantly forest in eastern China, forest steppe/meadow in the north and Tibetan Plateau, and steppe desert in northwestern arid China. We developed a semi-quantitative vegetation index to reflect change in plant abundance(by inferring the general climate conditions), with a vegetation score from 1to 3 based on the different vegetation types inferred from pollen data at individual sites at intervals of 2,000 years.The reconstructed vegetation index shows higher values during MIS 3, especially during the period 53–40 ka, than at the Last Glacial Maximum. Our results also suggest that climate on the basis of vegetation change was cooler and drier during MIS 3 than during the Holocene optimum;however, MIS 3 vegetation was probably similar to modern vegetation. The close relationship between vegetation change, insolation and Asian summer monsoon strength suggests that climate variations, probably in both temperature and precipitation, are the primary drivers of regional vegetation change. Additional well-dated, high-resolution palaeoclimate records from many locations across China will be needed to understand the vegetation change and climate forcings on millennial and centennial scales within MIS 3. | Yan Zhao Zicheng Yu Ulrike Herzschuh Bao Yang Hui Zhao Keyan Fang Huan Li Quan Li | 2014 | Chinese Science Bulletin2014,59,33: | 2 |
