Genome-wide identification and analysis of the HD-Zip transcription factor family in oats by Yiqun Xu, Yiqun Xu, Changlai Liu

“…The 74 HD-Zip genes can be divided into four subfamilies (HD-Zip Ⅰ-Ⅳ), containing 30 (HD-Zip Ⅰ), 38 (HD-Zip Ⅱ), 4 (HD-Zip III), and 2 (HD-Zip IV) genes, respectively. The grouping of this study is completely consistent with the clustering results of family members in the oat HD-Zip gene phylogenetic tree, further supporting the reliability of the sequence grouping. …”

Coupling Machine Learning and Physically Based Hydrological Models for Reservoir-Based Streamflow Forecasting by Benjun Jia, Wei Fang

“…Taking the Yalong River as an example, the main results are as follows: (1) Deep learning models (ConvLSTM and LSTM) show good performance in forecast precipitation correction and reservoir operation rule extraction, contributing to streamflow forecasting accuracy. (2) The proposed streamflow deterministic forecasting method has good forecasting performance with <i>NSE</i> above 0.83 for the following 1–5 days. (3) The GMM model, using upstream evolutionary forecasted streamflow, interval forecasted streamflow, and downstream forecasted streamflow as the input–output combination, has good probabilistic forecasting performance and can adequately characterize the “non-normality” and “heteroskedasticity” of forecasting uncertainty.…”

Energy evolution of sandstone under different cyclic loading and unloading modes in true triaxial mode by ZHANG Qihang, MENG Xiangrui, ZHAO Guangming

“…The results indicate that: (1) Under different cyclic loading and unloading modes, the hysteresis loops exhibited distinct evolutionary characteristics with an increase in the maximum principal strain; under the same mode, increasing the number of cycles did not change the trend of hysteresis loop variation. (2) The failure strength and peak-to-valley strain of rock samples under different paths showed significant path dependence. …”

Functional analysis of Rossmann-like domains reveals convergent evolution of topology and reaction pathways. by Kirill E Medvedev, Lisa N Kinch, R Dustin Schaeffer, Nick V Grishin

“…We define a minimal Rossmann-like structure motif (RLM) that corresponds for the common core of known Rossmann domains and use this motif to identify all RLM domains in the Protein Data Bank (PDB), thus finding they constitute about 20% of all known 3D structures. The Evolutionary Classification of protein structure Domains (ECOD) classifies RLM domains in a number of groups that lack evidence for homology (X-groups), which suggests that they could have evolved independently multiple times. …”
