[Objective] The aim was to study the high-yield cultivation technique of fodder soybean(Glycine max (L.) Merr.) in autumn idle land. [Methods] Such five influencing factors as line spacing, planting density, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) of fodder soybean seeding in autumn idle land were compared using orthogonal experiment method and LSD method of PASW 18 statistics software. [Results] The results showed that density, line spacing and K2O had important effects on biological yield of fodder soybean in autumn idle land. Moreover, the optimum proposal for high-yield matching cultivation technique of fodder soybean in autumn idle land was determined as follows: planting density was 75×104 plants/hm2; 300 kg/hm2 N, 112.5 kg/hm2 P2O5 and 375 kg/hm2 K2O were viewed as basic fertilizers; the seedling style was sowing in drill with the line spacing of 50 cm. In the proposal, fresh and hay grass yields were 6 661.67 and 2 723.64 kg/hm2, respectively, which increased by 24.17% and 27.63% respectively compared to the second fine combination. [Conclusions] The results provided a theoretical basis and technical support for the production of fodder soybean in autumn idle land. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Total organic carbon (TOC) content is one of the most important parameters for characterizing the quality of source rocks and assessing the hydrocarbon-generating potential of shales. The Lucaogou Formation shale reservoirs in the Jimusaer Sag, Junggar Basin, NW China, is characterized by extremely complex lithology and a wide variety of mineral compositions with source rocks mainly consisting of carbonaceous mudstone and dolomitic mudstone. The logging responses of organic matter in the shale reservoirs is quite different from those in conventional reservoirs. Analyses show that the traditional ΔlogR method is not suitable for evaluating the TOC content in the study area. Analysis of the sensitivity characteristics of TOC content to well logs reveals that the TOC content has good correlation with the separation degree of porosity logs. After a dimension reduction processing by the principal component analysis technology, the principal components are determined through correlation analysis of porosity logs. The results show that the TOC values obtained by the new method are in good agreement with that measured by core analysis. The average absolute error of the new method is only 0.555, much less when compared with 1.222 of using traditional ΔlogR method. The proposed method can be used to produce more accurate TOC estimates, thus providing a reliable basis for source rock mapping. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A series of novel composite membranes was prepared by using poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with polyimide (PI) as base material and 8-trimethoxysilylpropyl glycerine ether- 1,3,6-pyrenetrisulfonic acid (TSGEPS) as proton conductor for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). The parameters of membranes, including water sorption, hydrolysis stability, dimensional stability, proton conductivity, and methanol permeability were studied. The proton conductivity of the membranes is in the order of 10-2 S/cm, and the membranes show better resistance to methanol permeability (1.51 × 10-7 cm2 s-1) and better selectivity (20.6 × 104 S cm-3 s) than those of Nafion115 under the same measurement conditions.

A novel strategy was proposed for Ramos cell detection by combining the expression of enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) with the cell aptamer recognition and the triplex molecular beacons. This system was successfully applied to cancer cell detection with high sensitivity and specificity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: This study aimed to identify frontiers for further studies via brief understanding in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for substance use disorders (SUDs). Materials and Methods: Publications on the use of CAM for treating SUDs were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection from 2001 to 2020 on July 12, 2020, and visualized by CiteSpace V. Results: A total of 3,807 publications were obtained. The USA, China, and England were the leading research centers. However, India and Pakistan have recently focused on assessing CAM for the treatment of SUDs. Frederick L Altice was found to be the most productive author. Addiction ranked first among the frequently cited journals, which exceeded 1,000. The most common CAM therapies were acupuncture and CAM psychotherapies, such as mindfulness meditation. Conclusion: CAM is gaining attention globally for treating SUDs. CAM psychotherapy and acupuncture are hotspots and deserve further study.
