Chemical Diversity and Antimicrobial Potential of Cultivable Fungi from Deep-Sea Sediments of the Gulf of Mexico

A collection of 29 cultivable fungal strains isolated from deep-sea sediments of the Gulf of Mexico were cultivated under the “one strain, many compounds” approach to explore their chemical diversity and antimicrobial potential. From the 87 extracts tested, over 50% showed antimicrobial activity, and the most active ones were those from cultures grown at 4 °C in darkness for 60 days (resembling deep-sea temperature). PCA analysis of the LC-MS data of all the extracts confirmed that culture temperature is the primary factor in the variation of the 4462 metabolite features, accounting for 21.3% of the variation. The bioactivity-guided and conventional chemical studies of selected fungal strains allowed the identification of several active and specialized metabolites. Finally, metabolomics analysis by GNPS molecular networking and manual dereplication revealed the biosynthetic potential of these species to produce interesting chemistry. This work uncovers the chemical and biological study of marine-derived fungal strains from deep-sea sediments of the Gulf of Mexico.

From Shorter to Longer Timescales: Converging Integrated Information Theory (IIT) with the Temporo-Spatial Theory of Consciousness (TTC)

Time is a key element of consciousness as it includes multiple timescales from shorter to longer ones. This is reflected in our experience of various short-term phenomenal contents at discrete points in time as part of an ongoing, more continuous, and long-term ‘stream of consciousness’. Can Integrated Information Theory (IIT) account for this multitude of timescales of consciousness? According to the theory, the relevant spatiotemporal scale for consciousness is the one in which the system reaches the maximum cause-effect power; IIT currently predicts that experience occurs on the order of short timescales, namely, between 100 and 300 ms (theta and alpha frequency range). This can well account for the integration of single inputs into a particular phenomenal content. However, such short timescales leave open the temporal relation of specific phenomenal contents to others during the course of the ongoing time, that is, the stream of consciousness. For that purpose, we converge the IIT with the Temporo-spatial Theory of Consciousness (TTC), which, assuming a multitude of different timescales, can take into view the temporal integration of specific phenomenal contents with other phenomenal contents over time. On the neuronal side, this is detailed by considering those neuronal mechanisms driving the non-additive interaction of pre-stimulus activity with the input resulting in stimulus-related activity. Due to their non-additive interaction, the single input is not only integrated with others in the short-term timescales of 100–300 ms (alpha and theta frequencies) (as predicted by IIT) but, at the same time, also virtually expanded in its temporal (and spatial) features; this is related to the longer timescales (delta and slower frequencies) that are carried over from pre-stimulus to stimulus-related activity. Such a non-additive pre-stimulus-input interaction amounts to temporo-spatial expansion as a key mechanism of TTC for the constitution of phenomenal contents including their embedding or nesting within the ongoing temporal dynamic, i.e., the stream of consciousness. In conclusion, we propose converging the short-term integration of inputs postulated in IIT (100–300 ms as in the alpha and theta frequency range) with the longer timescales (in delta and slower frequencies) of temporo-spatial expansion in TTC.     

应用结构摄动策略的有分流换热网络优化

有分流节点非结构模型（NNM-SS）应用于换热网络优化时,因难以生成合适的分流结构而使优化陷入局部极值.根据NNM-SS的优化特点及网络结构中分流次数对费用的影响,提出结构摄动策略,并将其引入强制进化随机游走算法（RWCE-SS）.策略的主要思想为：在优化过程中,以一定的概率随机抽取一个无分流结构的换热器,并在该位置上生成一组新的分流结构以增加网络中的分流次数,通过对结构的摄动实现对算法搜索能力的提升.算例验证表明应用该策略改进的算法可获得更好的优化结果.     

有效应力升降过程中不同饱和度水合物沉积物渗透率实验研究

为了研究天然气水合物开采过程中水合物饱和度和有效应力变化对含水合物沉积层渗透率变化规律的影响,利用自主研制的水合物沉积物合成与三轴渗流实验一体化装置,进行了有效应力升降过程中不同饱和度水合物沉积物渗透性实验。结果表明:有效应力升降过程中,不同饱和度水合物沉积物的渗透率与有效应力均呈负指数规律变化,并表现出在低有效应力阶段渗透率变化的幅度大于高有效应力阶段;有效应力升降过程中,试样产生的不可恢复变形使渗透率不能完全恢复,造成渗透率永久损失;有效应力不变时,水合物沉积物的渗透率与水合物饱和度呈负指数规律变化,且曲线的斜率随饱和度增加由大变小;水合物的饱和度越大,最大渗透率损害率越大,渗透率恢复的程度越差。

Bending of a circular cylinder containing a crack

The study of bending of cracked circular cylinders is of more significance. The bending of cylinders containing radical crack or cracks was discussed by refs. [1]–[4] and that of concentrically craked circular cylinders was studied by [5]. Continuing [6] and using complex variable methods in elasticity, this paper deals with the bending problems of a circular cylinder, containing an internal linear crack at any position under an acting force perpendicular to the crack. The general forms of displacements, stresses, and stressintensity factors, expressed in terms of series, are obtained and to this bending problems with small Ah are presented good approximate formulas for the stress-intensity factors whose variations with the center of the crack are analysed. Finally, the twist angle per unit length and the center of bending for the radically cracked circular cylinder, one of whose crack-tips is located at the origin, have been computed and the results are almost the same as that calculated in [1].
