A QTL for rice grain width and weight encodes a previously unknown RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase

Grain weight is one of the most important components of grain yield and is controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTLs) derived from natural variations in crops. However, the molecular roles of QTLs in the regulation of grain weight have not been fully elucidated. Here, we report the cloning and characterization of GW2, a new QTL that controls rice grain width and weight. Our data show that GW2 encodes a previously unknown RING-type protein with E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, which is known to function in the degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Loss of GW2 function increased cell numbers, resulting in a larger (wider) spikelet hull, and it accelerated the grain milk filling rate, resulting in enhanced grain width, weight and yield. Our results suggest that GW2 negatively regulates cell division by targeting its substrate(s) to proteasomes for regulated proteolysis. The functional characterization of GW2 provides insight into the mechanism of seed development and is a potential tool for improving grain yield in crops.

Strong Law of Large Numbers for Weighted Sums of Random Variables and Its Applications in EV Regression Models

This paper mainly studies the strong convergence properties for weighted sums of extended negatively dependent(END, for short) random variables. Some sufficient conditions to prove the strong law of large numbers for weighted sums of END random variables are provided. In particular, the authors obtain the weighted version of Kolmogorov type strong law of large numbers for END random variables as a product. The results that the authors obtained generalize the corresponding ones for independent ra...     

Adaptive Asymptotic Tracking Control for Stochastic Nonlinear Systems with Unknown Backlash-Like Hysteresis

In this study, an adaptive asymptotic tracking control problem is considered for stochastic nonlinear systems with unknown backlash-like hysteresis. By utilizing backstepping technology and bound estimation approach, an adaptive asymptotic tracking control scheme is designed, where fuzzy systems are applied to approximate unknown function terms, the effect of hysteresis and stochastic disturbances is compensated appropriately. The proposed scheme ensures that the tracking error can asymptoticall...

Parallel Optimization of the Crystal-KMC on Tianhe-2

The Kinetic Monte Carlo(KMC) is one of the commonly used methods for simulating radiation damage of materials. Our team develops a parallel KMC software named Crystal-KMC, which supports the Embedded Atom Method(EAM) potential energy and utilizes the Message Passing Interface(MPI) technology to simulate the vacancy transition of the Copper(Cu) element under neutron radiation. To make better use of the computing power of modern supercomputers, we develop the parallel efficiency optimization model for the Crystal-KMC on Tianhe-2, to achieve a larger simulation of the damage process of materials under irradiation environment. Firstly, we analyze the performance bottleneck of the Crystal-KMC software and use the MIC offload statement to implement the operation of key modules of the software on the MIC coprocessor. We use Open MP to develop parallel optimization for the Crystal-KMC, combined with existing MPI inter-process communication optimization, finally achieving hybrid parallel optimization. The experimental results show that in the single-node CPU and MIC collaborative parallel mode, the speedup of the calculation hotspot reaches 30.1, and the speedup of the overall software reaches 7.43.     

An MPI+OpenACC-Based PRM Scalar Advection Scheme in the GRAPES Model over a Cluster with Multiple CPUs and GPUs

A moisture advection scheme is an essential module of a numerical weather/climate model representing the horizontal transport of water vapor. The Piecewise Rational Method(PRM) scalar advection scheme in the Global/Regional Assimilation and Prediction System(GRAPES) solves the moisture flux advection equation based on PRM. Computation of the scalar advection involves boundary exchange, and computation of higher bandwidth requirements is complicated and time-consuming in GRAPES. Recently, Graphic...

大坪山隧址区地质构造对岩溶发育规律的影响

在野外地质调查的基础上,运用自然历史分析法和统计学对隧址区的地质构造和岩溶发育特征进行了研究。研究表明地质构造对隧址区岩溶发育的影响主要表现为:1推覆构造演化过程中,地层经历的抬升和稳定使得区内岩溶发育呈现多期性,垂直、水平溶蚀形态交替分布;2区内地质构造通过控制岩溶水的循环通道,从而控制区内岩溶发育的方向和规模;3区内大型岩溶形态发育的向深性和方向性受断层控制,同时发育规模也由节理裂隙密度决定;4褶皱核部及转折部位多形成张拉裂隙,岩溶发育强烈,翼部径流作用有利于岩溶发育。
