Comparative Genomic Analysis Reveals Intestinal Habitat Adaptation of Ligilactobacillus equi Rich in Prophage and Degrading Cellulase

Ligilactobacillus equi is common in the horse intestine, alleviates the infection of Salmonella, and regulates intestinal flora. Despite this, there have been no genomic studies on this species. Here, we provide the genomic basis for adaptation to the intestinal habitat of this species. We sequenced the genome of L. equi IMAU81196, compared this with published genome information from three strains in NCBI, and analyzed genome characteristics, phylogenetic relationships, and functional genes. The mean genome size of L. equi strains was 2.08 ± 0.09 Mbp, and the mean GC content was 39.17% ± 0.19%. The genome size of L. equi IMAU81196 was 1.95 Mbp, and the GC content was 39.48%. The phylogenetic tree for L. equi based on 1454 core genes showed that the independent branch of strain IMAU81196 was far from the other three strains. In terms of genomic characteristics, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites, rapid annotation using subsystem technology (RAST), carbohydrate activity enzymes (CAZy), and predictions of prophage, we showed that strain L. equi JCM 10991^T and strain DSM 15833^T are not equivalent strains.It is worth mentioning thatthestrain of L. equi has numerous enzymes related to cellulose degradation, and each L. equi strain investigated contained at least one protophage. We speculate that this is the reason why these strains are adapted to the intestinal environment of horses. These results provide new research directions for the future.     

Mono-components from Blaschke products as solutions of a wave equation

In this note, we prove that the uni-modular mono-components from Blaschke products in the unit disc are eigenvectors of the Sturm-Liouville operators and investigate a kind of wave equations with some initial conditions, which give rise to mono-components.     

Improved fake mode free plane wave expansion method

We analyze the origin of the fake modes introduced by the plane wave expansion method with three-dimension (3D) supercell approximation. Through the detailed analysis of the energy distribution of fake modes and real modes, we propose the plane wave expansion-three planar-slab waveguides method to remove the fake modes and obtain the fake mode free band structure of a two-dimensional air hole photonic crystal slab. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that such a fake mode free photonic crystal band structure is presented. Our method is also definitely useful in designing other 3D devices.     

Double dehydrogenation of carbocyclic β-dicarbonyl compounds:Koser's reagent can do what iodine(V) reagents can

Koser's reagent is found to be effective in the oxidative double dehydrogenation of various carbocyclic β-dicarbonyl compounds,which constitutes the first example on dehydrogenation reactivity of hypervalent iodine(Ⅲ) reagents for carbocyclic carbonyl compounds. DFT calculations reveal that the rate-determining step is the electrophilic addition of PhI+OH onto enolate of monodehydrogenated product.     

Love waves in layered flexoelectric structures

Abstract

In this paper, the flexoelectric effect on Love waves propagating in a structure with a nanoscale piezoelectric guiding layer deposited on an isotropic elastic substrate is analytically investigated. Transcendental complex dispersion equations are obtained and solved numerically which are corresponding to the electrically open and short conditions at the free surface. A detailed discussion about the dispersion relations of the fundamental mode is subsequently presented. The results indicate that flexoelectricity has a substantial effect on Love wave propagation. The presence of flexoelectricity leads to a complex phase velocity with a negative/positive imaginary part, which means Love waves attenuate/grow over time. In addition, the phase velocity dispersion relations depend greatly on the thickness and flexoelectric coefficients of the guiding layer. The current work is the first attempt to explore the flexoelectric effect on the propagation characteristics of surface acoustic waves (SAWs). And the results would be beneficial to achieve a better performance of SAW devices.     

Effect of Ce addition on hot tearing behavior of AZ91 alloy

A small amount of cerium (below 1.0 wt%) addition to AZ91 alloy have been investigated on the hot tearing susceptibility (HTS) at a cooling rate of 1.5Ks^?1. The HTS increased to a maximum value with a cerium addition of 0.6 wt% and then decreased to a stable status as cerium was gradually added. Due to high chemical activity, cerium into the melts can react with aluminum to form an Al₁₁Ce₃ intermetallic compound. X–ray diffraction results also confirmed the existence of Al₁₁Ce₃. The Al₁₁Ce₃ increased with the presence of the needle-like and block morphology. As cerium levels increased, the amount of Mg₁₇Al₁₂ decreased. The variations between Mg₁₇Al₁₂ and Al₁₁Ce₃ resulted in a similar normal distribution of the HTS in AZ91 alloy. The findings were further verified through the microstructure evolution and the surface morphology of fracture.

Starburst triarylamine based dyes for efficient dye-sensitized solar cells

We report here on the synthesis and photophysical/electrochemical properties of a series of novel starburst triarylamine-based organic dyes (S1, S2, S3, and S4) as well as their application in dye-sensitized nanocrystalline TiO2 solar cells (DSSCs). For the four designed dyes, the starburst triarylamine group and the cyanoacetic acid take the role of electron donor and electron acceptor, respectively. It was found that the introduction of starburst triarylamine group to form the D-D-pi-A configuration brought about superior performance over the simple D-pi-A configuration, in terms of bathochromically extended absorption spectra, enhanced molar extinction coefficients and better thermo-stability. Moreover, the HOMO and LUMO energy levels tuning can be conveniently accomplished by alternating the donor moiety, which was confirmed by electrochemical measurements and theoretical calculations. The DSSCs based on the dye S4 showed the best photovoltaic performance: a maximum monochromatic incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) of 85%, a short-circuit photocurrent density (J(sc)) of 13.8 mA cm(-2), an open-circuit photovoltage (V(oc)) of 0.63 V, and a fill factor (ff) of 0.69, corresponding to an overall conversion efficiency of 6.02% under 100 mW cm(-2) irradiation. This work suggests that the dyes based on starburst triphenylamine donor are promising candidates for improvement of the performance of the DSSCs.
