Detailed examination of sedimentary cores retrieved from Sugan Lake in the northern Qaidam Basin of northwest China’s Tibetan Plateau reveal that fine laminated beddings form in the sediments where water depth exceeds 3 m. Seasonal surface sediments trapped at the bottom of the lake suggest that sediments deposited during summer and autumn are mainly light colored monohydrocalcites, while those deposited in winter are dark organic matter, indicating that varve layers form under modern limnological conditions. Continuous varve sediments comprising four types have accumulated in the upper 5.5 m of Core SG03I from the center of the lake. All types exhibit clear seasonality indicative of annual deposition. Varve counts correspondence with 210Pb dates on recent sediments in the upper core suggest the continuous varves of the upper 5.5 m of the core formed in the late Holocene (2670 a BP). The Sugan Lake varve sequence is the first demonstration of annually laminated sediments re-ported in arid western China.
The processing speed of the communication between nodes in a parallel processor has become the major bottleneck of the processor's performance.RDMA(Remote Direct Memory Access) technology has drawn more attention recently due to its capability of transferring a larger amount of data, higher speed and reliability.4DSP(4 Digital Signal Processing) module comprised of Tiger-SHARC201 chip is connected by LVDS(Low Voltage Differential Signal) circuits.This paper proposes a general and reconfigurable RDMA platform and its corresponding communication protocol with all the routes linked based on the zero copy.The protocol transfers message of DSP by interrupting of DMA and is applied on massive remote image impression, which reduces memory needs and working burden of CPU.The experiment results show this platform is efficient, flexible, and expandable of being integrated to a larger scale in the next development stages.
With the increasing number of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)cases and worldwide vaccination coverage,‘vaccination passports’(vaccination certificates)may become a required permit for global travel,thereby supporting economic recovery.On March 7,2021,Wang Yi,State Councilor and Foreign Minister of China,announced the launch of the Chinese version of an‘international travel health certificate’at a press conference of the National People’s Congress and the Chinese Political Consultative Conference.He proposed a feasible‘Chinese solution’for promoting the recovery of the global economy and the facilitation of cross-border travel,and hoped that the international travel health certificate and vaccination passport can be mutually authenticated.
Let△(φ,ψ)=(ABMA ANBB)be a Morita ring which is an Artin algebra.In this paper we investigate the relations between the Gorenstein-projective modules over a Morita ring△(φ,ψ)and the algebras A and B.We prove that if△(φ,ψ)is a Gorenstein algebra and both Ma and aN(resp.,both NB and BM)have finite projective dimension,then A(resp.,B)is a Gorenstein algebra.We also discuss when the CM-freeness and the CM-finiteness of a Morita ring△(φ,ψ)is inherited by the algebras A and B.
BACKGROUND: Dexmedetomidine has already been used in septic patients as a new sedative agent, few studies have examined its effects on immunomodulation. Therefore, the authors have designed a controlled experimental study to characterize the immunomodulation effects of dexmedetomidine in the cecal ligation and puncture(CLP) model in rats. METHODS: After CLP, 48 Wistar rats were randomly allocated into four groups:(1) CLP group;(2) small-dose treatment group(2.5 g·kg^(-1)·h^(-1));(3) medium-dose treatment group(5.0 g·kg^(-1)·h^(-1)); and(4) large-dose treatment group(10.0 g·kg^(-1)·h^(-1)). HLA-DR and plasma cytokine(IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α) levels were measured, and the mean arterial blood pressure(MAP), heart rate(HR), arterial blood gases, lactate concentrations and mortality were also documented. RESULTS: The HLA-DR level, inflammatory mediator levels, MAP and HR had no obvious changes among Dexmedetomidine treatment groups(DEX groups). Compared with the CLP group, the DEX groups exhibited decreased HLA-DR levels(P_(group)=0.0202) and increased IL-6 production, which was increased at 3 h(P= 0.0113) and was then attenuated at 5 h; additionally, the DEX groups exhibited decreased HR(P<0.001) while maintaining MAP(P_(group)=0.1238), and remarkably improving lactate(P<0.0001). All of these factors led to a significant decrease in the mortality, with observed rates of 91.7%, 66.7%, 25% and 18% for the CLP, DEX2.5, DEX5.0, DEX10.0 groups, respectively.CONCLUSION: Dexmedetomidine treatment in the setting of a CLP sepsis rat model has partially induced immunomodulation that was initiated within 5 h, causing a decreased HR while maintaining MAP, remarkably improving metabolic acidosis and improving mortality dosedependently.
