Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.) is a globally important ornamental plant with great economic, cultural, and symbolic value. However, research on chrysanthemum is challenging due to ...its complex genetic background. Here, we report a near-complete assembly and annotation for C. morifolium comprising 27 pseudochromosomes (8.15 Gb; scaffold N50 of 303.69 Mb). Comparative and evolutionary analyses reveal a whole-genome triplication (WGT) event shared by Chrysanthemum species approximately 6 million years ago (Mya) and the possible lineage-specific polyploidization of C. morifolium approximately 3 Mya. Multilevel evidence suggests that C. morifolium is likely a segmental allopolyploid. Furthermore, a combination of genomics and transcriptomics approaches demonstrate the C. morifolium genome can be used to identify genes underlying key ornamental traits. Phylogenetic analysis of CmCCD4a traces the flower colour breeding history of cultivated chrysanthemum. Genomic resources generated from this study could help to accelerate chrysanthemum genetic improvement.
This paper proposes an automatic grammar error correction model based on an encoder-decoder structure, which is combined with a new business English teaching model that can improve the teaching ...quality of teachers and enable students to get feedback quickly. The model employs a dual encoder structure and extracts source sentence information through an encoder that is based on the attention mechanism. Meanwhile, a fluency-based data augmentation method is also proposed in order to be able to select sentences with different fluency levels based on the fluency ratio between the target sentence and the source sentence. Finally, a Passive-Aggressive algorithm for candidate word selection has been designed, which can avoid generating repetitive and short-biased English sentences. It has been verified that the total grade of the class that incorporates this paper’s model in business English teaching has increased by 9.3 points on average, with the most obvious improvement in business writing by 3 points, followed by translation by 2.8 points. The proposed teaching model in this paper can enhance students’ comprehensive use of business English.
Three-dimensional integrated woven spacer sandwich composites have been widely used as industrial textiles for many applications due to their superior physical and mechanical properties. In this ...research, 3D integrated woven spacer sandwich composites of five different specifications were produced, and the mechanical properties and performance were investigated under different load conditions. XR-CT (X-ray computed tomography) images were employed to visualize the microstructural details and analyze the fracture morphologies of fractured specimens under different load conditions. In addition, the effects of warp and weft direction, face sheet thickness, and core pile height on the mechanical properties and performance of the composite materials were analyzed. This investigation can provide significant guidance to help determine the structure of composite materials and design new products according to the required mechanical properties.
Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) produces unwanted side-effects that are mainly caused by chemotherapeutic drugs in the treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, and these effects ...have not been systematically summarized. The aim of this article was to provide a comprehensive overview of the side-effects of HIPEC for GI cancers and propose practical strategies for adverse event management.
PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched for side-effects of HIPEC in GI cancers prior to October 20, 2022. A total of 79 articles were included in this review.
Adverse events, such as enterocutaneous digestive fistulas, GI tract perforation, neutropenia, postoperative bleeding, ventricular tachycardia, hyperglycemia, hypocalcemia, renal impairment, encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis, scrotal ulceration, and sarcopenia were described, and their clinical management was discussed. These side-effects involve the digestive, hematopoietic, circulatory, metabolic, and urinary systems. Effective methods for adverse event management included an expert multidisciplinary team, replacing chemotherapy drugs, using Chinese medicine, and careful preoperative assessments.
The side-effects of HIPEC are frequent and can be minimized by several effective methods. This study proposes practical strategies for adverse event management of HIPEC to assist physicians in choosing the optimal treatment method.

Optoelectronic devices for information storage and processing are at the heart of optical communication technology due to their significant applications in optical recording and computing. The ...infrared radiations of 850, 1310, and 1550 nm with low energy dissipation in optical fibers are typical optical communication wavebands. However, optoelectronic devices that could convert and store the infrared data into electrical signals, thereby enabling optical data communications, have not yet been realized. We report an infrared memory device using MoS2/PbS van der Waals heterostructures, in which the infrared pulse intrigues a persistent resistance state that hardly relaxes within our experimental time scales (more than 104 s). The device fully retrieves the memory state even after powering off for 3 hours, indicating its potential for nonvolatile storage devices. Furthermore, the device presents a reconfigurable switch of 2000 stable cycles. Supported by a theoretical model with quantitative analysis, we propose that the optical memory and the electrical erasing phenomenon, respectively, originate from the localization of infrared-induced holes in PbS and gate voltage pulse-enhanced tunneling of electrons from MoS2 to PbS. The demonstrated MoS2 heterostructure-based memory devices open up an exciting field for optoelectronic infrared memory and programmable logic devices.
Top‐gate HfS2 field‐effect transistors (FETs) with 5 nm HfO2 as dielectrics are successfully demonstrated, with on/off ratio of 105 and subthreshold swing of 95 mV dec−1. Moreover, due to the ...self‐functionalization of HfS2, uniform and ultrathin HfO2 film free of pinhole‐like defects could be deposited on HfS2, which is dramatically different from other transition metal dichalcogenide FETs.
Magnetic‐field‐enhanced spin‐polarized electronic/optical properties in semiconductors are crucial for fabricating various spintronic devices. However, this spin polarization is governed by weak spin ...exchange interactions and easily randomized by thermal fluctuations; therefore, it is only produced at cryogenic temperatures, which severely limits the applications. Herein, a room‐temperature intrinsic magnetic field effect (MFE) on excitonic photoluminescence is achieved in CsPbX3:Mn (X = Cl, Br) perovskite nanocrystals. Through moderate Mn doping, the MFE is enhanced by exciton–Mn interactions, and through partial Br substitution, the MFE is stabilized at room temperature by exciton orbital ordering. The orbital ordering significantly enhances the g‐factor difference between electrons and holes, which is evidenced by a parallel orbit–orbit interaction among excitons generated by circular polarized laser excitation. This study provides a clear avenue for engineering spintronic materials based on orbital interactions in perovskites.
A room‐temperature intrinsic magnetic field effect is realized in perovskite nanocrystals. The circular polarization of exciton photoluminescence in CsPbCl3 is enhanced by sp–d interactions with Mn doping, and is further stabilized by exciton orbital ordering with partial Br substitution, which induces 4.6% circular polarization ratio at room temperature in a 35 T magnetic field.
