Mineralogical study of surface sediments in the western Arctic Ocean and their implications for material sources

Mineralogical analysis was performed on bulk sediments of 79 surface samples using X-ray diffraction. The analytical results, combined with data on ocean currents and the regional geological background, were used to investigate the mineral sources. Mineral assemblages in sediments and their distribution in the study area indicate that the material sources are complex. (1) Feldspar is abundant in the sediments of the middle Chukchi Sea near the Bering Strait, originating from sediments in the Anadyr River carried by the Anadyr Current. Sediments deposited on the western side of the Chukchi Sea are rich in feldspar. Compared with other areas, sediments in this region are rich in hornblende transported from volcanic and sedimentary rocks in Siberia by the Anadyr Stream and the Siberian Coastal Current. Sediments in the eastern Chukchi Sea are rich in quartz sourced from sediments of the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers carried by the Alaska Coastal Current. Sediments in the northern Chukchi Sea are rich in quartz and carbonates from the Mackenzie River sediments. (2) Sediments of the southern and central Canada Basin contain little calcite and dolomite, mainly due to the small impact of the Beaufort Gyre carrying carbonates from the Canadian Arctic Islands. Compared with other areas, the mica content in the region is high, implying that the Laptev Sea is the main sediment source for the southern and central Canada Basin. In the other deep sea areas, calcite and dolomite levels are high caused by the input of large amounts of sediment carried by the Beaufort Gyre from the Canadian Arctic Islands (Banks and Victoria). The Siberian Laptev Sea also provides small amounts of sediment for this region. Furthermore, the Atlantic mid-water contributes some fi ne-grained material to the entire deep western Arctic Ocean

The Application of Quantum Energy Saver on Engine

In order to reduce diesel fuel consumption, this paper conducts the research in view of a new type of quantum energy saving device, and then produce the sample and applied on automobile engine, Detect fuel use of an automobile by automobile fuel saving technology as-sessment methods from the department of transportation. Compare the changes of fuel use be-fore and after installation of quantum energy saving device on the same car, and give the feed-back of energy saving capability. The result shows, after installed quantum energy saver, both fuel consumption and the smoke of tail gas has decreased. The analysis and application of this paper carry out the conclusion that the quantum energy saver can play an important role in en-ergy saving and emission reduction, and provide a reference for other related research

DataSheet1_Prognostic significance and immune landscape of a fatty acid metabolism-related gene signature in colon adenocarcinoma.docx

Background: Fatty acid metabolism (FAM), as a hallmark of caner, plays important roles in tumor initiation and carcinogenesis. However, the significance of fatty acid metabolism-related genes in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) are largely unknown.Methods: RNA sequencing data and clinical information were downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were utilized to construct a fatty acid metabolism-related gene signature. Kaplan-Meier survival and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were used to verify the performance of this signature. GEO datasets were applied to validate the signature. Maftools package was utilized to analyze the mutation profiles of this signature. Correlation between the risk signature and stemness scores was compared by RNA stemness score (RNAss). Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and gene set variation analysis (GSVA) were performed to explore the potential functions and signaling pathways. Immune landscape of the signature was explored by analyzing different immune cells infiltration, immune functions and microsatellite instability. A nomogram was constructed by combining the risk signature and multiple clinical factors. Expression levels and prognostic values of the risk genes were revealed in the cancer genome atlas and GEO databases. Moreover, the expression the risk genes were measured in cell lines using real time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR).Results: Eight fatty acid metabolism-related genes (CD36, ENO3, MORC2, PTGR1, SUCLG2, ELOVL3, ELOVL6 and CPT2) were used to construct a risk signature. This signature demonstrated better prognostic value than other clinicopathological parameters, with AUC value was 0.734 according to the cancer genome atlas database. There was negative correlation between the riskscore and RNA stemness score. The patients in the high-risk group demonstrated higher infiltration of M0 macrophages, and less infiltration of activated CD4 memory T cells and Eosinophils. There were more MSI patients in the high-risk group than those in the low-risk group (38% vs. 30%). The risk scores of patients in the MSI group were slightly higher than those in the microsatellite stability group. Gene ontology, kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes and gene set variation analysis enrichment analyses showed that several metabolism-related functions and signaling pathways were enriched. A nomogram showed good predictive capability of the signature. Moreover, qRT-PCR revealed upregulated expression of ENO3, MORC2, SUCLG2 and ELOVL6, and downregulated expression of CPT2 in all examined colon adenocarcinoma cell lines.Conclusion: This study provided novel insights into a fatty acid metabolism-related signature in the prognosis an immune landscape of colon adenocarcinoma patients.</p
