    The result of the present electricity price prediction as a key signal in the power market,for the normal operation of the power system,plays an important role.In this paper,a prediction model of the present electricity price is proposed based on the self-attention mechanism with the long-nosed raccoon optimization algorithm of the convolutional neural network and the bi-directional gated recurrent unit network.The model fully considers many factors such as the boundary conditions of the power market and the external environment that affect the price of electricity,and firstly uses the Pearson correlation coefficient method to correlate the disclosure data of the power market in Shandong Province,and comes up with the key factors that affect the price of electricity.Then the data are input into a CNN-BiGRU model based on self-attention mechanism and long-nosed raccoon optimization algorithm for training.The experimental results show that the three evaluation indexes of the model,Mean Absolute Error (δMAE),Mean Absolute Percentage Error (δMAPE),and Coefficient of Determination (R-square,R2),are 10.481, 3.23%, respectively, 0.954,the three indicators are obviously better than other models,with higher prediction accuracy and stability,fully verifying the feasibility of the model in the prediction of the present electricity price.

    To address the low detection accuracy caused by occluded pest targets and camouflage effects (where pest body colors blend with the environment) in crop pest detection,this study proposes an RT-DETR-based algorithm named RT-DETR-SDIC.First,the original backbone network’s early stages (S2,S3) are augmented with DBRB.By integrating multi-branch topological structures and heterogeneous paths of varying scales and complexities,the DBRB enriches the feature space.The later stages (S4,S5) of the backbone network are enhanced with IRMB_CGA.This module mitigates the lack of direct long-range semantic interaction in the original architecture while improving discrimination capability for environmental features.Second,in the feature fusion network,a parameter-free attention mechanism— SPA—is introduced to capture fine-grained spatial information.Additionally,CGFM is proposed for the feature fusion layer,orchestrating multi-scale feature integration.Experimental results demonstrate that RT-DETR-SDIC achieves a 19.6% reduction in parameters,a 9.9% decrease in computational load,a 6.2% improvement in PmA,0.5 (average precision at IoU=50%),and a 2.6% improvement in PmA,50:95 (mean average precision across IoU thresholds from 50% to 95%).

    The reactor is the core equipment in the gas-liquid two-phase reaction process,and the complex flow field characteristics inside it have a crucial impact on the reaction efficiency and product quality.Due to the limitations of experimental methods in capturing and analyzing the subtle features of the gas-liquid two-phase flow within the reactor,numerical simulation methods have become an important tool for researching this field.In this paper,two different impeller models of gas-liquid two-phase reactors were established,and gas-liquid two-phase flow simulation was carried out using FLUENT software.The K-epsilon turbulence model was selected for simulating turbulent motion.The flow field characteristics and gas distribution in the reactor of two types of four-layer impeller devices were analyzed in detail.Based on the changes in gas-liquid two-phase distribution,gas uniformity,flow field velocity distribution and velocity vector distribution of the two impellers,the differences between the four wide-blade impeller and the four inclined-blade impeller were further analyzed.Finally,it was concluded that under the same reactor,the same rotational speed and the same impeller diameter,the four wide-blade impeller is superior to the four inclined-blade impeller in terms of discharge,average velocity and power consumption,and the four wide-blade impeller also helps to improve the flow uniformity in the reactor,which can further promote the mixing of gas-liquid two phases.

    To address the issues of weakened target information and loss of fine details in fused images,this paper proposes a progressive multi-scale feature extraction and fusion method for infrared and visible image fusion.A structurally symmetric,parameter-independent dual-branch generation network is constructed.The original images and their enhanced versions are first fed into dilated convolution modules to extract contextual features at multiple scales,effectively capturing multi-scale information.Then,a multi-attention complementary residual aggregation module is introduced to enhance feature selectivity by emphasizing salient features and suppressing redundant ones,enabling progressive interaction and complementary fusion across scales.In the discriminator design,a dual-discriminator architecture is adopted to separately model the distributions of infrared and visible images,mitigating contrast shift and detail attenuation problems commonly encountered in multi-modal adversarial learning.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms most state-of-the-art algorithms in both objective metrics and subjective visual quality,retaining more texture details and achieving superior fusion performance.

    Tomato fruit is rich in lycopene,vitamin C,polyphenols and other active ingredients,which have both nutritional and health values.In this paper,the content,physiological function,synergistic effect and lycopene extraction technology of these components were reviewed.Lycopene can resist oxidation through conjugated double bond structure,reducing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer;Vitamin C participates in immune regulation and collagen synthesis;Polyphenols regulate inflammatory pathways and induce cancer cell apoptosis.These components can synergistically enhance the physiological functions of tomato,such as antioxidation and anti-inflammation.For the extraction technology of lycopene,the traditional organic solvent extraction method is mature,but the solvent residue is obvious.Enzymatic hydrolysis is suitable for high value-added products,but the cost is high.Modern technologies,such as supercritical CO2 extraction and membrane separation,are efficient and environmentally friendly.Emerging microbial fermentation and nano-embedding technologies have potential applications,but the problems of safety and scale need to be solved.At present,the optimization of energy consumption and cost of collaborative mechanism analysis and extraction technology still needs to be broken through,and future research can focus on collaborative target mining,industrial adaptation of new technologies and functional product development.This study provides theoretical support for efficient utilization of tomato resources.

    To study the water migration law of cucumber slices during hot-air drying,this paper takes cucumber slices as the research object and explores the influences of different temperatures and slice thicknesses on the water ratio and drying rate of cucumber slices.Firstly,a mathematical model for describing the water migration law of cucumber slices during hot-air drying is established,and numerical simulation analysis is carried out based on the numerical simulation software COMSOL.The results show that the Page model is more suitable for describing the water change law of cucumber slices during hot-air drying.Under the experimental conditions set,the coefficient of determination R2 of the Page model reaches 0.99,and the corresponding residual sum of squares RSS and chi-square χ2 are less than 0.017 16 and 0.000 953 351,respectively.Meanwhile,the experimental data is fitted,and the effective diffusion coefficient of cucumber slices in the temperature range of 50~80 ℃ is calculated to be between 0.173 5×10-9~4.189×10-9.The higher the hot-air temperature and the greater the thickness,the larger the effective diffusion coefficient.The numerical simulation process visually describes the water migration process of cucumber slices.The water concentration of cucumber slices gradually decreases from the edge to the interior.The water concentration at the edge position decreases rapidly,while the water concentration at the core position decreases slowly.By comparing and analyzing the change processes of dry basis moisture content in the numerical simulation and experimental processes,it is found that their change trends are the same,but the dry basis moisture content decreases faster in the experimental process.This model can provide a reference for the simulation study of other materials in hot-air drying technology.

    Oxidative stress is the root cause of chronic diseases.Soybean protein can be hydrolyzed or fermented to obtain antioxidant peptides (SAPs),which can scavenge free radicals and hold great potential in the functional food industry.Research has elucidated their structure-activity relationships and some in vivo and in vitro mechanisms,but large-scale production and safety evaluation still require further exploration.This study aimed to utilize probiotic liquid fermentation of soybean prote in to prepare antioxidant peptides.Two stepwise fermentation methods were adopted:(1)inoculation with Bacillus subtilis natto(37 ℃,24 h),followed by inoculation with Bacillus coagulans (47 ℃,42 h);(2)on the basis of method (1),sequential inoculation with Lactobacillus rhamnosus (37 ℃,36 h).The two fermentation broths were ultrafiltered to obtain fractions with molecular weight <1 kDa (SPAP1,SPAP2),and their in vitro antioxidant activities and in vivo efficacy in Caenorhabditis elegans were evaluated.Results showed that the IC50 values for ABTS radical scavenging activity were (0.509±0.016) and (0.591±0.028) mg/mL,respectively,and the FRAP values were (0.427±0.02) and (0.314±0.019)mmol/L,respectively.The C.elegans assayindicated that SPAP2 was superior to SPAP1 in delaying aging,reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels,improving swallowing ability,and prolonging boths tress resistance and natural lifespan.RP-HPLC-MS/MS analysis identified a total of 175 potential antioxidant peptides in SPAP2.In conclusion,this study explored a probiotic combination and its stepwise fermentation conditions for the preparation of soybean antioxidant peptides,verified their efficacy through in vitro and in vivo experiments,and identified their peptide composition by mass spectrometry,providing technical support for the development and application of soybean bioactive peptides.

    The correct disposal of monitoring and alarm information in substation is very important to ensure the safe operation of substation and equipment maintenance.The premise of correct disposal is to extract the power entities in the monitoring alarm information quickly and accurately.Because of the existing power entity extraction methods,it is difficult to meet the dual requirements of accuracy and speed in practical application.In order to solve the above problems,a semi-supervised-ERNIE-GP power entity extraction method based on enhanced representation through knowledge integration (ERNIE) and Global Pointer (GP) and using semi-supervised learning strategy is proposed.This method is based on ERNIE-GP to improve the accuracy and speed of power entity extraction,and introduces semi-supervised learning idea to mine entity extraction knowledge from unlabeled data.In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method,the monitoring and alarm information of substation is used to construct a data set and conduct a series of experiments.Comparative experiments show that,compared with the better baseline model BERT-Bi-LSTM-CRF,the Semi-Supervised-ERNIE-GP adopted in this thesis improves the accuracy,recall and F1 score by 4.90%,2.50% and 3.71% respectively.Through curve analysis,the superiority of the extraction speed of this method in large-scale data application scenarios is further confirmed.

    To extract and integrate various factors influencing wind power generation,and to reduce the prediction error caused by fluctuations in single factors,this paper proposes a model that combines historical wind speed and power data based on Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN).The method treats wind turbines as nodes and constructs a graph structure among turbines to extract the features of both wind speed and power.The model captures the complex interactions between wind speed and power generation,as well as the synergistic effects between different turbines within a wind farm.By effectively extracting both local and global features,the model adapts to the nonlinear and time-varying characteristics of wind power.Experimental results on real wind farm data show that,compared with traditional methods,the GCN-based model achieves higher accuracy and stability in short-term wind power forecasting.This provides a reliable reference for wind farm scheduling and operations,ensuring greater stability under varying environmental conditions.

    In this study,CuS/BiOI heterostructures were successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method.The materials were characterized using Zeta potential analysis,XRD,SEM,TEM,XPS,UV-DRS,which collectively confirmed the successful construction of the CuS/BiOI heterojunction.Under visible-light irradiation,the photocatalytic degradation performance of the CuS/BiOI heterojunction toward tetracycline (TC) was studied.The optimized CuS/BiOI-2 sample exhibited a degradation efficiency of 81.46% and a degradation rate constant of 0.014 3 min-1 representing a 68.55% improvement and a 2.64-fold enhancement compared to pristine BiOI,respectively.By analyzing the band structures of CuS and BiOI,combined with photoelectrochemical analyses and radical scavenging experiments,it was demonstrated that the S-scheme heterojunction formed between p-type CuS (with localized surface plasmon resonance,LSPR properties) and n-type BiOI significantly enhanced the light absorption capacity of BiOI and promoted the efficient separation of photogenerated charge carriers.These synergistic effects ultimately endowed the CuS/BiOI-2 composite with exceptional photocatalytic performance.

    This study investigates the influence of nickel content on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of low-temperature ductile iron (QT400-18L) through the synergistic control of nickel microalloying and annealing heat treatment processes.Based on the research path of composition design-process optimization-performance characterization,a composition range with a nickel gradient of 0~1% was designed,combined with heat treatment processes.The performance of the samples was tested through tensile and impact tests,and the microstructure before and after heat treatment was characterized to analyze the effects of nickel on the matrix structure and properties.The experimental results show that the as-cast structure of the samples obtained by adding different amounts of nickel to ductile iron is mainly composed of spheroidal graphite, ferrite, and a small amount of pearlite. Nickel has a slight graphite-forming effect and promotes pearlite formation.To improve the impact toughness of the samples,heat treatment was used to regulate the microstructure, significantly reducing pearlite content.The microstructure of the heat-treated samples consists of spheroidal graphite and ferrite. When the nickel mass fraction is 0.4%,the heat-treated sample exhibits optimal strength and plasticity,with a tensile strength of 395 MPa, an elongation of 17.5%, a hardness of 139 HBW,and a -40 ℃low-temperature impact absorption work of 14.7 J, which represents an approximately 22.5% improvement in impact toughness compared to the QT400-18L standard.

    Ceramic coatings were synthesized on the surface of 2195 Al-Li alloy by micro arc oxidation(MAO),and the structure and high temperature friction wear performance of the coatings were studied.The phase and elemental composition were investigated by XRD and SEM.The surface,cross-section and abrasion morphology and elemental composition of the coatings were observed by SEM and EDS.The 3D morphology of abrasion tracks were observed by laser confocal microscopy(CLSM).The frictional wear performance of the coating was investigated at 200 ℃using an HT-1000 high-temperature friction and wear tester.The results show that the coatings consist of α-Al2O3 phase.The surfaces of the coatings are rough and porous,showing a "lotus leaf" like pile-up shape,with a surface roughness of about 14.3 μm.The thickness of the coating is about 7.1 μm.The average friction coefficient of the coating is about 0.68.The volume wear rate and mass loss of the coating are much lower than that of the Al-Li alloy substrate,with the mass loss being about one-ninth of that of the substrate and the wear rate being about one-tenth of that of the substrate.This indicates that the micro arc oxide coating has desirable wear resistance under high temperature conditions.Analysis of the wear track morphology and composition reveals that the wear mechanism of the Al-Li alloy substrate at 200 ℃ is abrasive wear,fatigue wear and oxidation wear,and the abrasive wear is the main one,while the MAO coating is mainly adhesive wear and also accompanied by oxidation wear.The researches have shown that micro-arc oxidation coatings exhibit good wear resistance under high-temperature conditions.

    To further reveal the influence of grain size and morphology on the mechanical properties of metal additive manufacturing materials,this paper adopts the crystal plasticity finite element method(CPFEM) and takes the AlSi10Mg alloy formed by selective laser melting(SLM) as the research object to establish representative volume element(RVE) models with different average grain sizes.It explores the impact of grain size on its mesoscopic tensile mechanical behavior.The results show that as the grain size decreases,the distribution of stress and strain becomes more uniform,and the yield strength and tensile strength of the AlSi10Mg alloy increase.When the average grain size decreases from 20 μm to 6 μm,the yield strength and tensile strength of the material increase by approximately 37.89% and 17.91% respectively,which is consistent with the Hall-Petch relationship.In addition,stress and strain are concentrated at the grain boundaries,indicating that grain boundaries can hinder the movement of dislocations.The distribution of strain bands is affected by crystal orientation and forms a 45° angle with the loading direction,which is in line with Schmid's slip law.

    To address the issues of high computational cost in the backbone network,insufficient feature extraction capability,and limited accuracy in small target detection in the YOLOv11 model for printed circuit board(PCB) surface defect detection,an improved YOLOv11 model is proposed.The model introduces the C3k2_iRMB_Cascaded module,which integrates Cascaded Group Attention(CGA) and Inverted Residual Mobile Block(iRMB) to enhance multi-scale feature extraction while reducing computational complexity.A Selective Boundary Aggregation(SBA) module is adopted to construct a Re-Calibration Feature Pyramid Network(Re-Calibration FPN),addressing the semantic loss issue in traditional FPN through bidirectional feature fusion and an adaptive attention mechanism,thereby improving small target detection accuracy.A lightweight Detect_LSCD detection head is designed,incorporating shared convolution and a scale-adaptive scaling mechanism to enhance the robustness of multi-scale object detection.Experimental results demonstrate that the improved model achieves a 3.4% increase in PmA 0.5 and a 1.5% increase in PmA 0.5:0.95 compared with the original YOLOv11n model,effectively balancing detection accuracy and real-time performance,making it suitable for quality inspection requirements in modern electronic manufacturing systems.

    In order to accurately predict the subsidence of urban areas,a deep belief network (DBN) prediction model for urban subsidence based on the optimization algorithm of dung beetle is proposed.Firstly,to address the difficulty of parameter adjustment in deep belief networks,the Dung Beetle Optimizer (DBO) algorithm is introduced to optimize the parameter settings;Secondly,the Small Baseline Subset InSAR (SBAS InSAR) technique was used to obtain the surface subsidence of the Huainan feature area as the original sequence for prediction and calculation.K-fold cross validation was employed to avoid overfitting risks,and the prediction results of backpropagation neural network (BP),DBN,and DBO-DBN models were compared and analyzed.The results showed that:(1) the accuracy of the DBO-DBN model prediction was 96.30%,with a root mean square error of 0.840 mm and a value of 0.992 6.Compared with the BP neural network and DBN model,the improved DBO-DBN model improved the prediction accuracy,and the absolute error trend between the predicted surface subsidence value and the true value was the best.(2) the prediction of the settlement amount of the two feature points P1 and P2 in the next 12 months shows that the future settlement amount of point P1 fluctuates within a certain range,while the future settlement amount of point P2 is basically stable,and neither of them shows a significant settlement trend.

    In practical engineering applications,factors such as modeling errors and parameter perturbations can lead to model uncertainties,while external disturbances may significantly degrade the tracking accuracy and dynamic performance of the controlled system,even causing instability.To address these critical challenges,this paper proposes a control strategy based on disturbance estimation for linear systems subject to both model uncertainties and external disturbances,achieving system stabilization.First,a stabilizing controller is designed for model uncertainties using Lyapunov stability theory.Subsequently,for external disturbances,a disturbance observer with asymptotic estimation capability is constructed by selecting an appropriate filter,enabling asymptotic rejection of the disturbances.Theoretical analysis demonstrates that the proposed control method not only effectively mitigates the impact of parameter uncertainties but also achieves complete cancellation of external disturbances,ensuring global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system.Numerical simulations further validate the superior performance of the control scheme in terms of dynamic response and robustness.

    G-quadruplex (G4) is a non-classical secondary structure formed by guanine-rich nucleic acid sequences,which is widely distributed in the promoter region of oncogenes and telomeres and other key regions of the genome,and is involved in a variety of disease processes.Histone H1,as an important regulator of chromatin high level structure,forms dynamic condensates with G4 by liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS).Among them,the H1 carboxy-terminal structural domain (CTD) plays a key role in driving LLPS due to its long sequence and high charge density properties.However,there is still a research gap on the minimum length threshold required for CTD-triggered phase separation and its role in regulating the topological conformation of G4.In this study,we systematically investigated the effect of different lengths of histone H1 truncated peptide chains on the LLPS of G4-short peptide system by comprehensively utilizing various experimental techniques.The experimental results showed that LLPS formation was significantly inhibited when the peptide chain length was below a critical threshold;further studies revealed that the LLPS behavior of G4-short peptides was related to the short peptide-induced enhancement of folding and compression of the G4 structure.These results support that multivalent interactions are one of the important driving forces mediating phase separation.

    This paper is concerned with social optimality for a class of mean-field linear quadratic (Linear Quadratic,LQ) control systems with Markov jump parameters,where the individual diffusion coefficient can depend on both the state and the control of the agent.All agents cooperate with each other to minimize the social objective.First,with the aid of person-by-person optimality principle,one arrives at an auxiliary LQ control problem.A decentralized strategy is then obtained by a mean-field forward-backward stochastic differential equation (Forward-backward Stochastic Differential Equation,FBSDE) consistency condition.Finally,by some estimates of FBSDEs,the obtained decentralized strategy is proved to be asymptotic social optimality.

    Rosa roxburghii pomace is an abundant yet underutilized byproduct of the fruit juice industry,which has attracted extensive research interest due to its rich nutritional composition.In this study,a combined milling and acidic pretreatment was applied to enhance its glucan conversion potential.The effects of pretreatment were systematically investigated using SEM,FTIR,TGA,and XRD.Results demonstrated that the pretreatment significantly improved enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency,increasing cellulose conversion by 30.39%.Compositional analysis revealed an elevated relative cellulose content after pretreatment.SEM and swelling capacity analysis indicated that the pretreatment disrupted the compact structure of the pomace,creating visible pores and a looser,more fragmented morphology,thereby increasing the specific surface area.FTIR,XRD,and TGA analyses confirmed the effective removal of non-cellulosic components,leading to higher cellulose exposure,enrichment,and crystallinity.These structural modifications enhanced cellulose accessibility to enzymes,ultimately improving hydrolysis efficiency.

    China is a major producer and consumer of antibiotics,and the extensive use of these drugs has caused significant environmental pollution and health risks.To address these issues,this study developed innovative Ti/PbO2-La composite electrodes via electrochemical deposition,significantly enhancing their catalytic activity and stability compared to conventional electrodes.Through optimization of chloramphenicol's electrochemical degradation parameters,we obtained the reaction kinetic equation y=0.055x-0.288 (R2=0.981) under the following conditions:current density of 1.00 A,electrolyte concentration of 0.1 mol/L, pH 7,and initial chloramphenicol concentration of 10 mg/L.LC-MS analysis revealed that chloramphenicol degradation primarily occurs through ·OH-mediated pathways.Furthermore,this electrode overcomes the limitation of incomplete mineralization characteristic of conventional methods,achieving efficient pollutant mineralization. This provides an effective and economical strategy for removing trace antibiotics from aquatic environments,with significant practical applications.

    To address the safety hazards caused by histamine contamination in aquatic product processing,this study used rosemary leaves as raw material and extracted rosemary essential oil by atmospheric steam distillation,optimizing the extraction process through single-factor experiments and response surface methodology.The results showed that the optimal process conditions were a solid-to-liquid ratio of 1∶10(mg∶L),distillation time of 3.8 h,soaking time of 1.9 h,and raw material particle size of 19 mesh,under which the essential oil yield reached 2.18 %.The extracted essential oil was applied to the inhibition study of Morganella morganii,a high histamine-producing microorganism,and its antibacterial activity was systematically evaluated.Antibacterial experiments showed that 30 and 40 mg/mL concentrations of rosemary essential oil had inhibition zone diameters of (21.90±0.20) and (24.73±0.45) mm,respectively,and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were 0.4 and 1.0 mg/mL,respectively.Further mechanism studies showed that rosemary essential oil destroyed the cell membrane structure,changed the osmotic pressure inside and outside the membrane,and caused the leakage of intracellular macromolecules such as RNA and proteins,thus significantly inhibiting the growth of Morganella morganii.This study provides theoretical basis and methodological support for the application of rosemary essential oil as a natural antibacterial agent in the control of histamine in aquatic products,and has positive significance for improving the safety of skipjack tuna products.

    CD44 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein whose extracellular domain binds specifically to hyaluronic acid (HA) of the extracellular matrix.In the presence of fluid shear,this binding promotes the rolling behavior of cells and provides the basis for cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions,and the binding is dependent on conformational changes in the N-and C-termini of the extracellular domain of CD44.Under physiological conditions,the interaction between HA and CD44 exhibits a typical Catch-bond effect.In this study,single-molecule magnetic tweezers were used to perform stretching experiments on CD44 extracellular structural domains expressed in Escherichia coli (E.coli) and human embryonic kidney epithelial cells (HEK293F).At a constant tensile loading rate (1 pN/s),four stepwise unfolding events were observed in the defolding process of the E.coli-expressed CD44 protein,with corresponding elongation changes indicating that all 159 amino acids were defolded.In contrast,HEK293F-expressed CD44 showed only one unfolding signal,corresponding to the unfolding of 8 amino acid residues at the N-terminal and 49 amino acid residues at the C-terminal,suggesting that all three pairs of disulfide bonds are formed in this protein.Despite the lack of disulfide bonds,E.coli expressed CD44 maintained a certain degree of structural stability,and HEK293F expressed CD44 was closer to the physiological state in terms of structural integrity and kinetic properties.

    Plant immune elicitors are a class of substances capable of activating a plants innate immune system and enhancing its resistance to pathogenic microorganisms.They hold significant potential in green agriculture and sustainable crop protection.Compared to traditional chemical pesticides,immune elicitors offer advantages such as being non-toxic,environmentally friendly,and less likely to induce resistance,thereby helping to reduce pesticide usage,ensure food safety,and protect the ecological environment.In recent years,oligosaccharides have attracted increasing research interest due to their promising biological activity;however,challenges such as limited variety and inconsistent efficacy still hinder their practical application.This study aims to develop a plant immune elicitor that is abundant in source,cost-effective,and stable in quality.Using hyaluronic acid as the raw material,hyaluronic acid oligosaccharides were prepared through a low-cost process,and their eliciting effects were evaluated in an Arabidopsis thaliana-Pseudomonas syringae pv.tomato DC3000(Pst DC3000) infection system.The experimental results showed that the optimal pretreatment concentration of hyaluronic acid oligosaccharides was 25 mg/L.Pretreating Arabidopsis seedlings with this concentration prior to inoculation with Pst DC3000 significantly reduced the disease index,showing a 35.13% decrease compared to the untreated control group.These findings indicate that hyaluronic acid oligosaccharides can partially suppress pathogen infection and enhance plant resistance.

    Consider the estimation problem for a class of single-index Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity-in-mean (ARCH-M) models.Based on the empirical likelihood method and the theory of local least squares estimation,we propose an empirical likelihood-based estimation approach for the parametric components of the model.Under certain regularity conditions,it is demonstrated that the constructed log empirical likelihood ratio statistic asymptotically follows a standard chi-square distribution.Consequently,this result enables the construction of confidence regions for the parametric components.The theoretical framework establishes the asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator and provides rigorous statistical inference tools for the parameters in this semi-parametric ARCH-M specification.Some simulation studies are carried out to compare finite sample performances of the proposed empirical likelihood estimation method with some existing estimation methods under different estimation method settings.
