Two-terminal optoelectronic synaptic devices have attracted increasing attention owing to their simplicity of structures, which facilitate the device integration in neuromorphic computing systems. However, synaptic-weight updates and self-rectifying properties in two-terminal optoelectronic synaptic devices are inferior. Here, we fabricate two-terminal optoelectronic synaptic devices in accordance with the hybrid structure of optically active layers MAPbI(3) and electron transport layers (ETLs) SnO2 in an n-i-p planar system, where MAPbI3 and SnO2 are used for generating and trapping carriers, respectively. Synaptic functionalities such as excitatory post-synaptic current (EPSC), paired-pulse facilitation (PPF), spike-number dependent plasticity (SNDP), and spike-rate dependent plasticity (SRDP) are all successfully mimicked without external bias. These synaptic devices possess self-rectifying properties with a highest ratio of similar to 0.3 x 10(3) and their synaptic weight exhibits largest-dynamic-range updates of 14.3 within 14 seconds among the reported two-terminal optoelectronic synaptic devices. Furthermore, the spike-number tunability of EPSC in the synaptic devices leads to the realization of straight running of agrimotor driverless technology. Results dramatically promote the development of two-terminal optoelectronic synaptic devices in neuromorphic computing.

Anammox is a novel and energy-efficient biological nitrogen removal technology. Enhancing its performance in treating low-strength nitrogen wastewater is essential for expanding its practical applications. In response to challenges such as low nitrogen removal efficiency (NRE), poor operational stability, limited environmental resistance, and the interference of organic compounds commonly found in real wastewater, this study developed a two-stage upflow anammox biofilm reactor system (R1 and R2) enhanced by an Fe2+-coupled organic substrate strategy for deep nitrogen removal under low-nitrogen conditions. Results showed that sodium acetate at a chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration of 40 mg/L provided the greatest enhancement to anammox activity, achieving an average total nitrogen removal efficiency (NRE) of 90.02%. However, the reactor performance was significantly inhibited under higher COD conditions (e.g., COD = 60 mg/L). Under an influent Fe2+ concentration of 10 mg/L, the reactors’ NRE increased and then decreased as the COD concentration rose from 0 to 100 mg/L, resulting in the highest efficiency being achieved at an average NRE of 94.11%, observed under 10 mg/L Fe2+ coupled with 60 mg/L of COD in the two-stage anammox system. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the co-addition of Fe2+ and organic substrates led to the formation of granular protrusions and pores on the sludge surface, which favored the structural stability of the biomass. At a COD level of 40 mg/L, the contents of extracellular polymeric substances and heme c in anammox biofilm were significantly higher compared to the addition of 10 mg/L Fe2+ alone, whereas excessive COD inhibited both indicators. These findings suggest that moderate levels of Fe2+ coupled with organic matter can promote anammox activity for deep nitrogen removal, while excessive organics have inhibitory effects. This study provides theoretical support for enhancing nitrogen removal from low-strength wastewater

Objectives Milletia speciosa Champ (MS), a traditional Chinese medicine, has the abilities of antistress, antifatigue, anti-oxidation and so on. In our previous study, MS was found to antidepression while the underlying mechanism of which needs further elucidation. Methods Here, a proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-1-NMR)-based metabonomics combined network pharmacology research approach was performed to investigate the antidepressive mechanism of MS act on mouse with chronic unpredictable mild stress-induced depression. Key findings Results showed that MS could alleviate the ethology of depression (including sucrose preference degree, crossing lattice numbers and stand-up times) and disordered biochemical parameters (5-hydroxytryptamine, norepinephrine and brain-derived neurotrophic factor). Metabonomics study and network pharmacology analysis showed that MS might improve depression through synergistically regulating five targets including Maoa, Maob, Ache, Ido1 and Comt, and three metabolic pathways such as tryptophan metabolism, synthesis of neurotransmitter and phospholipid metabolism. Conclusions This study for the first time preliminary clarified the potential antidepressive mechanism of MS and provided theoretical basis for developing MS into novel effective antidepressant.

In this letter, we use squared iterative method with parameter checking to accelerate the convergence rate of expectation/conditional maximization (ECM) algorithm when estimating the channel parameters blindly in flat fading nonGaussian channels, and further, we proposed automatic modulation classification (AMC) in flat fading non-Gaussian channels based on the proposed maximum likelihood estimator. The numerical results show that the proposed method can accelerate the convergence rate of ECM algorithm, and AMC based on the proposed method is faster than that based on ECM, while the accuracy of the former shows nearly no loss compared with that of the latter.

The CEPC booster will accelerate the e(-)e(+) beam from 10 GeV to 120 GeV, so the field of the dipole magnets will change with the beam energy, of which the minimal working field is 29 Gs whereas the maximal field is 338 Gs. To reach the requirement of high precision at lower field level, three kinds of new dipole magnets are proposed and studied. To test and verify the designs of the magnets, two subscale prototype magnets are fabricated.

The root-associated microbiota plays an important role in the response to environmental stress. However, the underlying mechanisms controlling the interaction between salt-stressed plants and microbiota are poorly understood. Here, by focusing on a salt-tolerant plant wild soybean (Glycine soja), we demonstrate that highly conserved microbes dominated by Pseudomonas are enriched in the root and rhizosphere microbiota of salt-stressed plant. Two corresponding Pseudomonas isolates are confirmed to enhance the salt tolerance of wild soybean. Shotgun metagenomic and metatranscriptomic sequencing reveal that motility-associated genes, mainly chemotaxis and flagellar assembly, are significantly enriched and expressed in salt-treated samples. We further find that roots of salt stressed plants secreted purines, especially xanthine, which induce motility of the Pseudomonas isolates. Moreover, exogenous application for xanthine to non-stressed plants results in Pseudomonas enrichment, reproducing the microbiota shift in salt-stressed root. Finally, Pseudomonas mutant analysis shows that the motility related gene cheW is required for chemotaxis toward xanthine and for enhancing plant salt tolerance. Our study proposes that wild soybean recruits beneficial Pseudomonas species by exudating key metabolites (i.e., purine) against salt stress.
