The effect of (natural) polyols on the initial colour of heavy metal- and zinc-free poly(vinyl chloride)

The propensity of (natural) polyols dispersed in heavy metal- and zinc-free PVC sheets to improve the initial colour, e.g. the colour during the first minutes of exposure to high processing temperatures (short-term stability), has been investigated. It is shown using W(Lab) values that the initial colour improves upon addition of polyols containing primary hydroxyl groups. The polyols act as HCl scavengers, presumably via an acid-catalysed S_N2 substitution of the primary hydroxyl groups by chloride ions. In contrast, polyols with only secondary or tertiary hydroxyl groups accelerate the thermal degradation of PVC. Notwithstanding, the efficacy of the (natural) polyols containing primary hydroxyl groups will be reduced if the polyol is susceptible to competitive acid-catalysed intramolecular cyclodehydration reactions under the processing conditions. This is substantiated by a comparison of the behaviour of mannitol and 3,4-di-O-methyl-d-mannitol. The methylated derivative, which is less prone to undergo intramolecular cyclodehydration, improves the initial colour of heavy metal- and zinc-free PVC sheets more significantly than mannitol itself.

THPep: A machine learning-based approach for predicting tumor homing peptides

In the present era, a major drawback of current anti-cancer drugs is the lack of satisfactory specificity towards tumor cells. Despite the presence of several therapies against cancer, tumor homing peptides are gaining importance as therapeutic agents. In this regard, the huge number of therapeutic peptides generated in recent years, demands the need to develop an effective and interpretable computational model for rapidly, effectively and automatically predicting tumor homing peptides. Therefore, a sequence-based approach referred herein as THPep has been developed to predict and analyze tumor homing peptides by using an interpretable random forest classifier in concomitant with amino acid composition, dipeptide composition and pseudo amino acid composition. An overall accuracy and Matthews correlation coefficient of 90.13% and 0.76, respectively, were achieved from the independent test set on an objective benchmark dataset. Upon comparison, it was found that THPep was superior to the existing method and holds high potential as a useful tool for predicting tumor homing peptides. For the convenience of experimental scientists, a web server for this proposed method is provided publicly at http://codes.bio/thpep/.     

星载激光雷达GEDI数据林下地形反演性能验证

【目的】新一代天基测高系统全球生态系统动力学调查(GEDI)对森林观测及经营具有重要意义,为探究GEDI V2(GEDI第2版)数据反演林下地形的性能,利用机载雷达数据验证林下地形反演精度,并探究反演精度的影响因素。【方法】分别以美国西波拉森林与中国帽儿山森林为研究对象,利用G-liht及帽儿山高精度机载雷达数据验证GEDI V2数据在针叶林及针阔叶混交林下反演地形的性能,并分析不同光束强度、光斑时间、坡度及植被覆盖度对地形反演精度的影响。【结果】美国西波拉针叶林地区地形反演精度均方根误差(RMSE)为2.33 m,平均绝对误差(MAE)为1.48 m;帽儿山针阔叶混交林地区地形反演精度RMSE为4.49 m, MAE为3.33 m。随着坡度、植被覆盖度增大,两种森林类型地形反演精度均降低。【结论】GEDI V2数据反演针叶林林下地形精度要优于针阔叶混交林,强光束优于覆盖光束,湿润地区白天效果更优,干旱地区黑夜效果更优;平缓地区数据使用效果极好,陡峭地区精度降低;中低植被覆盖度区域地形反演精度较高,高植被覆盖区域地形测定性能有所下降。     

桂东南马尾松工程幼林生长量及其生物量节律研究

关于运城地区发展经济林的反思

优越的农业自然条件使运城地区成为山西省重要的粮棉生产基地。但近年来经济林的迅速发展使果树栽植面积几乎占到耕地总面积的1／4。尽管平原地区广种经济林具有一定的经济效益与环境效益,但它却违背了合理利用土地的原则,若不及早采取有力措施加以控制,我国将会潜伏粮食危机,种植业的可持续发展将会受到严重影响。
