Societal Impact Statement Summary Unraveling the genetic intricacies and evolutionary history of Asian Hickories through advanced genome sequencing gives valuable insights into their ecological adaptations. Understanding the impact of historical dynamics, climate fluctuations, and geographical barriers on Asian hickories not only contributes to scientific knowledge but also empowers policymakers with evidence‐based decisions and guides conservationists in their efforts to protect vulnerable species. The identification of potential habitats, especially for the endangered Carya kweichowensis, offers a promising avenue for targeted conservation efforts, aligning with global initiatives to preserve Earth's precious biodiversity, but also ensures the conservation of a vital genetic reservoir for nut‐bearing economic tree species.Biogeographic characteristics of disjunct distribution play a vital role in plant geography and the endangered mechanism. The whole genome resequencing provides an opportunity to study the genetic relationship, population diffusion, and floristic evolution of disjunctive‐distribution flora. Based on the SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) data generated by the whole genome deep resequencing of five EA (Eastern Asian) Carya species, we constructed the phylogenetic tree, genetic structure, and species distribution modeling to clarify the phylogenetic relationships and to predict the potential distribution area of EA Carya. Phylogenetic analysis of Carya revealed two distinct clades, separating EA Carya from NA (North America) Carya. C. kweichowensis, an endangered species, showed the lowest nucleotide diversity and the earliest divergence among studied EA Carya species. Species distribution modeling predicted suitable habitats for five EA Carya species, revealing the potential distribution of endangered C. kweichowensis. Importantly, minimal spatial overlap was observed among distribution regions of EA Carya species during different time periods. The uneven regional distribution of EA Carya is believed to be a consequence of Quaternary climate fluctuations, mountain barriers hindering species dispersal, and the limited cold tolerance of these trees. EA Carya highlights the significant role of climate and geological changes in their regional distribution and migration routes in Asia. Furthermore, the discovery of potential habitats offers a promising avenue for the conservation of C. kweichowensis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The full-automatic optical-fiber coil winding equipment is a complex electromechanical system which contains signal acquisition, data processing, communications, and motor control. In the complex electromechanical system, the subsystems rely on wired or wireless network technology to complete the real-time perception, coordinate, accurate, and dynamitic control, and information exchange services. The paper points to the full-automatic optical-fiber coil winding equipment with the characteristics of cyber-physical system to research its numerical design. We present a novel compound tension control system based on the experimental platform dSPACE to achieve semiphysical simulation of compound tension control system and examine the functions of control system.

Practical training models can be a viable and effective educational tool that allows surgeons to acquire specific surgical techniques or skills. However, a suitable animal training model for reconstruction after a pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has not yet been reported. Therefore, we explored the feasibility and safety of establishing an animal training model for digestive tract reconstruction after a simulated PD using mongrel dogs. We used the anatomical similarity between the canine and human digestive tract to simulate the digestive tract reconstruction after pancreatoduodenectomy. A hepatobiliary surgeon performed simulated PD digestive reconstructions on 6 mongrel canines. Pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ), biliary-enteric anastomosis (BEA), and jejuno-jejunal anastomosis (JJ) were performed sequentially. The survival rate, surgical operation time, complications, body weight changes, gross specimen, and pathological examination of the anastomotic region were observed 30 days after surgery. The survival rate 30 days after surgery was 100%. Total mean operative time was 230.5 ± 39.7 min. The operative time for PJ, BEA, and JJ was calculated as 21.5 ± 7 min, 21.7 ± 8.7 min, and 13.2 ± 1.8 min, respectively. An incision infection occurred in 1 case (16.7%); there was 1 case of ascites (16.7%), and 1 case of vomiting (16.7%). The total protein and total bilirubin indicators of the 6 dogs and the serum amylase index of 5 dogs 30 days postoperatively were within the normal range. The 6th dog's serum amylase was approximately double the normal value, possibly due to pancreatitis. Observing the gross specimen, the mucosa of the anastomosis was intact and smooth. Masson staining showed that the bile duct and jejunum anastomosis, the pancreas, and jejunum of the 6 canines were all integrated with rich collagen. Establishing an animal model for digestive tract reconstruction after a simulated PD in canines is feasible and safe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
