Masson pine (Pinus massoniana Lamb.) is an important timber species and is widely planted in southern China. A large quantity of seed is required for sowing each year. However, low germination in the nursery has resulted in low seedling yields with a consequent negative impact on the Masson pine afforestation program. The purpose of our study was to determine whether gibberellin (GA(3)) or indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) would be more effective in propagating the species from seeds for afforestation and to elucidate their effects on seed respiration and endogenous hormone levels. Seeds were soaked in GA(3) and IAA solutions of different concentrations at 25 degrees C in the dark for 24 hours, and a germination test was conducted. Seed respiration was measured indirectly by estimating oxygen consumption in a closed system. Endogenous hormone levels were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The germination test showed that the most significant promotion of seed germination and seedling vigor occurred at 5 x 10(-5) M GA(3) in both varieties and that the effects of IAA were variety dependent. Oxygen-sensing measurements showed that increased metabolism time, critical oxygen pressure, and relative germination time were decreased and the oxygen metabolism rate was increased in IAA-and GA3-treated seeds. GC/MS analysis showed that the application of 5 x 10(-5) M GA(3) decreased the endogenous abscisic acid (ABA) content, but increased IAA and GA(1), levels. Our experiment suggests that exogenous GA(3) improves seed germination and seedling vigor of Masson pine through promoting seed respiration or lowering the ABA level and stimulating IAA and GA(1), biosynthesis.

Mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a key regulator of cell growth and metabolism. Its activity is controlled by various types of signals, including growth factors, nutrients, and stresses. In this study, we show that changes in expression levels of two antiapoptotic proteins, Bcl-2 and Bcl-X-L, also affect mTORC1 signaling activity. In cells overexpressing Bcl-X-L, mTORC1 activity is increased and becomes less sensitive to growth factor or nutrient conditions. In contrast, reduction in expression levels of the two antiapoptotic proteins inhibits mTORC1 signaling activity. Our results suggest that the effect of Bcl-2 and Bcl-X-L on mTORC1 is mediated by FKBP38, an inhibitor of mTORC1. The two proteins compete with mTORC1 for FKBP38 binding and hence alter mTORC1 activity. This study reveals a novel cross-talk between Bcl-2/X-L and mTORC1 signaling, which is likely to contribute to cancer development.

The algorithm presented here is used on unmanned aerial vehicles system. In 2013,*** proposed a matching cost computation model(or function), This matching cost model combined three kinds of constraints, the cost function is formulated by combining three individual costs: a cost computed on an extended census transformation of the images;the absolute difference cost, taking into account information from colour channels;and a cost based on the principal image derivatives. Experiments show that the cost function is excellent performance in similar estimates. Apply it to the stereo matching of ancient buildings, it is favorable for practical. However, this experiment, in color mutated region, leaded to blurred border. Therefore, our proposed method added color space structural information, which based on HVS Weber's law, to the cost function. we use the differential excitation of WLD reflects the structure of color space. This robust cost measures can reduce percent of bad pixels in mutated color region. The proposed method use color image, which is used after epipolar line rectification.

CFRP is a new kind of building materials popularly used in structure strengthening. In order to study the reinforcement technique for masonry walls of school buildings, the walls with window opening strengthened by CFRP were studied in the paper. Based on the experiment result, the finite element simulation and theoretical calculation analysis were done to study the mechanical behavior and shear capacity of the wall with window opening reinforced by CFRP. The CFRP pasted at the corner of window opening were proved to be effectively in improving shear capacity of the walls, and simple calculation formulas of shear capacity were provided in the paper, which proved to be accurate.

Acid rain is a problem of increasing agricultural, environmental, and ecological concerns worldwide. This study investigated impacts of simulated acid rain (SAR) on soil organic matter (SOM) and metal aluminum and iron ions leaching from the red soil in central south China. Laboratory experiments were performed by leaching the soil columns with the SAR at a pH range from 2.5 to 5.6 over a 20-day period. Research results showed subjected to acid rain of different acidities, dissolved organic matter (DOM), Fe and Al ions were leached out from red soil into eluate, huge leaching loss tended to occur in the initial phase of the leaching and the higher the acidity of simulated acid rain was, the bigger the loss of them from red soil. There was a very good linear correlation between DOMs and dissolved Al and Fe in the eluates, squared correlation coefficient (R-2) were respectively 0.93839 and 0.9479. These results contributed to build the theoretical foundation for assessing the potential environmental risks of groundwater.
