Dynamics of CO2 fluxes and environmental responses in a Poplar plantation by Mengyu Ge, Mengyu Ge, Weifeng Wang, Honghua Ruan, Guobing Wang, Shuang Zhang, Shuiqiang Yu

“…The annual cumulative NEE, GEP, and ER were −763.61, 1542.19, and 778.58 g C m−2 yr−1, respectively. Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) significantly influenced NEE both at half-hourly and daily scale (P < 0.01 for both), while relative humidity (RH) and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) only significantly affected NEE at half-hourly scale (P < 0.01). …”

Notch Signaling Mediates TNF-α-Induced IL-6 Production in Cultured Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes from Rheumatoid Arthritis by Zhijun Jiao, Wenhong Wang, Jie Ma, Shengjun Wang, Zhaoliang Su, Huaxi Xu

“…Exposure of RA FLSs to TNF-α (10 ng/ml) led to increase of Hes-1, a target gene of Notch signaling, and a marked upregulation of Notch 2, Delta-like 1, and Delta-like 3 mRNA levels. Blockage of Notch signaling by a γ-secretase inhibitor (DAPT) inhibited IL-6 secretion of RA FLSs in response to TNF-α while treatment with recombinant fusion protein of Notch ligand Delta-like 1 promoted such response. …”

Acoustic Emission Characteristics and Failure Mechanism of Fractured Rock under Different Loading Rates by Yongzheng Zhang, Gang Wang, Yujing Jiang, Shugang Wang, Honghua Zhao, Wenjun Jing

“…Uniaxial tests on a sample containing a single open fracture were simulated under different loading rates ranging from 0.005 to 0.5 m/s. Our results demonstrate the following. (1) The overall trends of stress and strain changes are not affected by the loading rate; the loading rate only affects the strain required to reach each stage. (2) The strain energy rate and acoustic emission (AE) events are affected by the loading rate in fractured rock. …”
