Combine Harvester Bearing Fault-Diagnosis Method Based on SDAE-RCmvMSE

In the fault monitoring of rolling bearings, there is always loud noise, leading to poor signal stationariness. How to accurately and efficiently identify the fault type of rolling bearings is a challenge. Based on multivariate multiscale sample entropy (mvMSE), this paper introduces the refined composite mvMSE (RCmvMSE) into the fault extraction of the rolling bearing. A rolling bearing fault-diagnosis method based on stacked auto encoder and RCmvMSE (SDAE-RCmvMSE) is proposed. In the actual environment, the fault-diagnosis method use the multichannel vibration signals of the bearing as the input of stacked denoising autoencoders (SDAEs) to filter the noise of the vibration signals. The features of denoise signals are extracted by RCmvMSE and the rolling bearing operation-state diagnosis is completed with a support-vector machine (SVM) model. The results show that in the original test data, the accuracy rates of SDAE-RCmvMSE, RCmvMSE, and commonplace features of vibration signals combined with SVM (CFVS-SVM) methods are 99.5%, 100%, and 96% respectively. In the data with noise, the accuracy rates of RCmvMSE and CFVS-SVM are 97.75% and 93.08%, respectively, but the accuracy of SDAE-RCmvMSE is still 100%.     

Subcomponent self-assembly of circular helical Dy6(L)6 and bipyramid Dy12(L)8 architectures directed via second-order template effects

In situ metal-templated (hydrazone) condensation also called subcomponent self-assembly of 4,6-dihydrazino-pyrimidine, o-vanillin and dysprosium ions resulted in the formation of discrete hexa- or dodecanuclear metallosupramolecular Dy₆(L)₆ or Dy₁₂(L)₈ aggregates resulting from second-order template effects of the base and the lanthanide counterions used in these processes. XRD analysis revealed unique circular helical or tetragonal bipyramid architectures in which the bis(hydrazone) ligand L adopts different conformations and shows remarkable differences in its mode of metal coordination. While a molecule of trimethylamine acts as a secondary template that fills the void of the Dy₆(L)₆ assembly, sodium ions take on this role for the formation of heterobimetallic Dy₁₂(L)₈ by occupying vacant coordination sites, thus demonstrating that these processes can be steered in different directions upon subtle changes of reaction conditions. Furthermore, Dy₆(L)₆ shows an interesting spin-relaxation energy barrier of 435 K, which is amongst the largest values within multinuclear lanthanide single-molecular magnets.

Subcomponent self-assembly gave access to Dy₁₂(L)₈ and Dy₆(L)₆ architectures via second-order template effects. The Dy₆(L)₆ assembly behaves as a single-molecule magnet exhibiting a high anisotropy barrier and butterfly-shaped magnetic hysteresis.

Cardiac-specific overexpression of Ndufs1 ameliorates cardiac dysfunction after myocardial infarction by alleviating mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis

Myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause of premature death among adults. Cardiomyocyte death and dysfunction of the remaining viable cardiomyocytes are the main pathological factors of heart failure after MI. Mitochondrial complexes are emerging as critical mediators for the regulation of cardiomyocyte function. However, the precise roles of mitochondrial complex subunits in heart failure after MI remain unclear. Here, we show that NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit S1 (Ndufs1) expression is decreased in the hearts of heart failure patients and mice with myocardial infarction. Furthermore, we found that cardiac-specific Ndufs1 overexpression alleviates cardiac dysfunction and myocardial fibrosis in the healing phase of MI. Our results demonstrated that Ndufs1 overexpression alleviates MI/hypoxia-induced ROS production and ROS-related apoptosis. Moreover, upregulation of Ndufs1 expression improved the reduced activity of complex I and impaired mitochondrial respiratory function caused by MI/hypoxia. Given that mitochondrial function and cardiomyocyte apoptosis are closely related to heart failure after MI, the results of this study suggest that targeting Ndufs1 may be a potential therapeutic strategy to improve cardiac function in patients with heart failure.Subject terms: Heart failure, Myocardial infarction, Myocardial infarction     

MiR-1224-5p modulates osteogenesis by coordinating osteoblast/osteoclast differentiation via the Rap1 signaling target ADCY2

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) broadly regulate normal biological functions of bone and the progression of fracture healing and osteoporosis. Recently, it has been reported that miR-1224-5p in fracture plasma is a potential therapy for osteogenesis. To investigate the roles of miR-1224-5p and the Rap1 signaling pathway in fracture healing and osteoporosis development and progression, we used BMMs, BMSCs, and skull osteoblast precursor cells for in vitro osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis studies. Osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis were detected by ALP, ARS, and TRAP staining and bone slice resorption pit assays. The miR-1224-5p target gene was assessed by siRNA-mediated target gene knockdown and luciferase reporter assays. To explore the Rap1 pathway, we performed high-throughput sequencing, western blotting, RT-PCR, chromatin immunoprecipitation assays and immunohistochemical staining. In vivo, bone healing was judged by the cortical femoral defect, cranial bone defect and femoral fracture models. Progression of osteoporosis was evaluated by an ovariectomy model and an aged osteoporosis model. We discovered that the expression of miR-1224-5p was positively correlated with fracture healing progression. Moreover, in vitro, overexpression of miR-1224-5p slowed Rankl-induced osteoclast differentiation and promoted osteoblast differentiation via the Rap1-signaling pathway by targeting ADCY2. In addition, in vivo overexpression of miR-1224-5p significantly promoted fracture healing and ameliorated the progression of osteoporosis caused by estrogen deficiency or aging. Furthermore, knockdown of miRNA-1224-5p inhibited bone regeneration in mice and accelerated the progression of osteoporosis in elderly mice. Taken together, these results identify miR-1224-5p as a key bone osteogenic regulator, which may be a potential therapeutic target for osteoporosis and fracture nonunion.Subject terms: Translational research, Cell signalling

Reactions of (NH₄)₂WS₄ with CuCN, CuCN/1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)propane (bppa) or [Cu(MeCN)₄]PF₆/bppa under different reaction conditions afforded a set of two- or three-dimensional W/Cu/S cluster-based coordination polymers including {[Et₄N]₂[WS₄Cu₄(μ-CN)₂(μ-I)₂]}_n ( 1 ), [WS₄Cu₄(μ-CN)₂(bppa)₂]_n ( 2 ) and {[WS₄Cu₄(bppa)₄](PF₆)₂}_n ( 3 ), respectively. Compound 2 can be readily formed from reaction of 1 with bppa under solvothermal conditions. Compounds 1 and 2 feature two-dimensional networks with a “sql” topology, while 3 possesses a two-fold interpenetrated three-dimensional net with a rare “reo” topology. Compounds 1 – 3 in DMF exhibited different third-order nonlinear optical responses, and they all showed a reverse saturable absorption while 2 held a strong self-focusing effect.
