الوصف: Coherence is intrinsically related to projective measurement. When the fixed projective measurement involves higher-rank projectors, the coherence resource is referred to as block coherence, which comes from the superposition of orthogonal subspaces. Here, we establish a set of quantitative relations for the interconversion between block coherence and multipartite entanglement under the framework of the block-incoherent operations. It is found that the converted multipartite entanglement is upper bounded by the initial block coherence of single-party system. Moreover, the generated multipartite entanglement can be transferred to its subsystems and restored to block coherence of the initial single-party system by means of local block-incoherent operations and classical communication. In addition, when only the coarse-grained quantum operations are accessible for the ancillary subsystems, we further demonstrate that a lossless resource interconversion is still realizable. Our results provide a versatile approach to utilize different quantum resources in a cyclic fashion.

الوصف: The corn planthopper, Peregrinus maidis , is an economically important pest of corn and sorghum. Here we report the initial steps towards developing a CRISPR-based control method, precision guided sterile insect technique (pgSIT), for this hemipteran pest. Specifically, we evaluated the potential of transformer-2 ( tra-2 ) as a target for sterilizing insects. First, we identified tra-2 transcripts within our P . maidis transcriptome database and performed RNA interference (RNAi) to confirm functional conservation. RNAi-mediated knockdown of Pmtra-2 in nymphs transformed females into pseudomales with deformed ovipositors resembling male claspers. While males showed no overt difference in appearance, they were indeed sterile. Importantly, the results were similar to those observed in another planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens . We also used CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to assess the impact of tra-2 knockout in injectees. CRISPR-mediated knockout of Pmtra-2 had lethal effects on embryos, and hence not many injectees reached adulthood. However, mosaic knockout of Pmtra-2 did impact female and male fertility, which supports the use of tra-2 as a target for pgSIT in this hemipteran species.

الوصف: Background: Adaptations by arthropod pests to host plant defenses of crops determine their impacts on agricultural production. The larval host range of western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is restricted to maize and a few grasses. Resistance of D. v. virgifera to crop rotation practices and multiple insecticides contributes to its status as the most damaging pest of cultivated maize in North America and Europe. The extent to which adaptations by this pest contributes to host plant specialization remains unknown. Results: A 2.42 Gb draft D. v. virgifera genome, Dvir_v2.0, was assembled from short shotgun reads and scaffolded using long-insert mate-pair, transcriptome and linked read data. K-mer analysis predicted a repeat content of ≥ 61.5%. Ortholog assignments for Dvir_2.0 RefSeq models predict a greater number of species-specific gene duplications, including expansions in ATP binding cassette transporter and chemosensory gene families, than in other Coleoptera. A majority of annotated D. v. virgifera cytochrome P450s belong to CYP4, 6, and 9 clades. A total of 5,404 transcripts were differentially-expressed between D. v. virgifera larvae fed maize roots compared to alternative host (Miscanthus), a marginal host (Panicum virgatum), a poor host (Sorghum bicolor) and starvation treatments; Among differentially-expressed transcripts, 1,908 were shared across treatments and the least number were between Miscanthus compared to maize. Differentially-expressed transcripts were enriched for putative spliceosome, proteosome, and intracellular transport functions. General stress pathway functions were unique and enriched among up-regulated transcripts in marginal host, poor host, and starvation responses compared to responses on primary (maize) and alternate hosts. Conclusions: Manual annotation of D. v. virgifera Dvir_2.0 RefSeq models predicted expansion of paralogs with gene families putatively involved in insecticide resistance and chemosensory perception. Our study also suggests that adaptations of D. v. virgifera larvae to feeding on an alternate host plant invoke fewer transcriptional changes compared to marginal or poor hosts. The shared up-regulation of stress response pathways between marginal host and poor host, and starvation treatments may reflect nutrient deprivation. This study provides insight into transcriptomic responses of larval feeding on different host plants and resources for genomic research on this economically significant pest of maize.

We always use a variety of materials and methods to express everyday complexity and lack, and then use those bold or subtle ideas. The shape after pinching and deformation is a different real world. And space is never the end result, the essence of the description space is the appearance of the story. It seems that these spaces are dreams of surrealism. Once those dreams enter the space, they become real. The difference between reality and fiction may be more ambiguous than we think, and sometimes even coexist. It is two sides of the whole thing. In a fictional situation, perhaps more than just reality. Because it captures the intrinsic state of events that our eyes cannot see, the ears cannot smell. Reality and fiction constantly add shadows that are invisible to each other until they are integrated. In this way, the chaotic universe formed by stacking may be better able to read the purest state. The second part of the thesis re-proposes the spatial state of the "unreliable narrator", which translates the text of the heterogeneous state of space by textual description, corresponding to different parts of the space.

The process on budgeting of public departments at present is that the units of department to do the ballpark estimate then turn it over the unit of account to do the final sum, which lies at the foundation of every financial plan promulgated by the government. In general, the units do the ballpark estimate just to follow the budget of last year without reference to the prior year actual numbers, which causes the matter of surplus in the annual budget. To solve such a problem, this study applies the traits of accounts’ subject and the prior year actual numbers from 2014-2016, by the method of the moving average to creative a more suitable way for ballpark estimating the future budget. Owing to moving average method practicing, so it’s able to reflect the phenomenon of the budget is really needed, to narrow the gap between the forecast budget and the actual numbers, and to be less the matter of surplus in the annual budget. With the expectation of this study could be a very useful reference for the public departments doing the ballpark estimate at the future budgeting.

الوصف: Goal-conditioned reinforcement learning (GCRL) aims to control agents to reach desired goals, which poses a significant challenge due to task-specific variations in configurations. However, current GCRL methods suffer from limitations in sample efficiency and the need for substantial training data. While existing self-imitation-based GCRL approaches can improve sample efficiency, their scalability to large-scale tasks is limited. In this paper, we propose integrating self-imitation learning with goal-conditioned RL methods into a compatible and reasonable framework. Specifically, we introduce a novel target action value function to aggregate self-imitation learning and goal-conditioned reinforcement learning. The designed target value effectively combines these two policy training mechanisms to accomplish specific tasks. Moreover, we theoretically demonstrate that our approach can learn a superior policy compared to both self-imitation learning and goal-conditioned reinforcement learning. Additionally, experimental results showcase the stability and effectiveness of our method compared to existing approaches in various challenging robotic control tasks. ; This work is partially supported by National Science Foundation of China (61976115,61732006), and National Key R&D program of China (2021ZD0113203), Pre-Research Foundation of (50912040302).

الوصف: The corn planthopper, Peregrinus maidis , is an economically important pest of maize and sorghum. Its feeding behaviour and the viruses it transmits can significantly reduce crop yield. The control of P . maidis and its associated viruses relies heavily on insecticides. However, control has proven difficult due to limited direct exposure of P . maidis to insecticides and rapid development of resistance. As such, alternative control methods are needed. In the absence of a genome assembly for this species, we first developed transcriptomic resources. Then, with the goal of finding targets for RNAi‐based control, we identified members of the ATP‐binding cassette transporter family and targeted specific members via RNAi. PmABCB_160306_3 , PmABCE_118332_5 and PmABCF_24241_1 , whose orthologs in other insects have proven important in development, were selected for knockdown. We found that RNAi‐mediated silencing of PmABCB_160306_3 impeded ovary development; disruption of PmABCE_118332_5 resulted in localized melanization; and knockdown of PmABCE_118332_5 or PmABCF_24241_1 each led to high mortality within five days. Each phenotype is similar to that found when targeting the orthologous gene in other species and it demonstrates their potential for use in RNAi‐based P . maidis control. The transcriptomic data and RNAi results presented here will no doubt assist with the development of new control methods for this pest.
