基于多列空洞卷积神经网络的麦穗计数方法研究

田间麦穗计数因主要依靠人工而存在耗时长、成本高等问题,为提高麦穗计数的效率和准确性,提出基于人群计数卷积神经网络的麦穗计数方法,在图像基础上进行麦穗数量自动化计数.试验改进了现有人群计数模型中的多列卷积神经网络MCNN和空洞卷积神经网络CSRNet,并对MCNN和CSRNet进行融合,建立了多列卷积神经网络MCSRNet.测试结果表明:MCSRNet网络对麦穗的预测准确率可以达到92.4％,较MC-NN和CSRNet分别提高1.0％和4.0％,且训练迭代次数分别减少39次和5次.另基于独立数据集进行了测试,MCSRNet网络平均准确率为81.9％,较MCNN和CSRNet分别提高了0.4％和0.7％.MCSRNet的麦穗计数结果R2为0.80,优于MCNN和CSRNet.以上研究结果表明,MCSRNet网络有较高的麦穗计数准确率,同时有较快的训练速度,可为后续基于图像的小麦产量预测提供技术方法.

Effects of melatonin implantation on cashmere yield,fibre characteristics,duration of cashmere growth as well as growth and reproductive performance of Inner Mongolian cashmere goats

Background

Exogenous melatonin could induce cashmere growth. However, induced growth of cashmere fleece by melatonin implants cannot be combined with the typical growth, resulting in earlier shedding followed by another cycle of cashmere growth. To address this issue, we examine the effects on the cashmere yield, fibre characteristics, and the growth and reproductive performance of cashmere goats of planned administration of melatonin.

Methods

Eighteen half-sib, female goats were assigned to two treatments (n = 9) including a control and a treatment where melatonin (2 mg/kg BW) was implanted at the end of April and end of June. Cashmere growth and shedding were observed for approximately 1 year following implantation. Fibre samples were collected monthly to determine cumulative cashmere length. Initiation and cessation dates for cashmere growth as well as the rate of cashmere growth were calculated. Cashmere yield, weight gain of dam, kidding date, litter size, and birth weight were also recorded.

Results

Melatonin implantation increased cashmere yield by 34.5 % (control 553.7 g vs. melatonin 745.0 g; P < 0.01), cashmere length by 21.3 % (control 95.2 mm vs. melatonin 115.4 mm; P < 0.01), and decreased fibre diameter by 4.4 % (control 14.6 μm vs. melatonin 14.0 μm; P < 0.03). In melatonin-treated goats, the average initiation date was earlier than in control goats (May 18, 2013 vs. July 2, 2013; P < 0.01) but there was a similar cessation date (March 22, 2014 vs. March 27, 2014). Consequently, the duration of cashmere growth was longer in melatonin-treated goats than in control goats (307 vs.270 days; P < 0.01). The final BW, average daily gain, kidding date, litter size, and birth weight were not influenced by melatonin implantation.

Conclusions

These data indicate that melatonin implantation (2 mg/kg BW) on two occasions (late April and June) increased cashmere yield by combining the induced growth of cashmere fleece with the typical growth and decreased the fibre diameter without changing dam growth rate or reproductive performance.     

Expression of Mitochondria‐Associated Genes (PPARGC1A,NRF‐1, BCL‐2 and BAX) in Follicular Development and Atresia of Goat Ovaries

Most follicles undergo atresia during the developmental process. Follicular atresia is predominantly regulated by apoptosis of granulosa cells, but the mechanism underlying apoptosis via the mitochondria‐dependent apoptotic pathway is unclear. We aimed to investigate whether the mitochondria‐associated genes peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor‐gamma, coactivator1‐alpha (PPARGC1A), nuclear respiratory factor‐1 (NRF‐1), B‐cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (BCL‐2) and BCL2‐associated X protein (BAX) played a role in follicular atresia through this pathway. The four mitochondria‐associated proteins (PGC‐1α, which are encoded by the PPARGC1A gene, NRF‐1, BCL‐2 and BAX) mainly expressed in granulosa cells. The mRNA and protein levels of PPARGC1A/PGC‐1α and NRF‐1 in granulosa cells increased with the follicular development. These results showed that these genes may play a role in the regulation of the follicular development. In addition, compared with healthy follicles, the granulosa cell in atretic follicles had a reduced expression of NRF‐1, increased BAX expression and increased ratio of BAX to BCL‐2 expression. These results suggested that changes of the mitochondria‐associated gene expression patterns in granulosa cells may lead to follicular atresia during goat follicle development.

镍基和均相酸催化废弃木质素的溶剂热降解

采用热化学方法降解木质素生成单体和低聚体产物。通过改变溶剂和使用均相酸、镍基催化剂,促进木质素热降解,提高油收率,改善油品质。结果表明:在密封条件下,250℃反应1 h甲醇和水协同促进了木质素降解。水/甲醇/甲酸溶剂中反应的残渣率降低至14.9%,油收率提高至44.1%。添加均相酸HCl、H3PO4和非均相催化剂Ni、Ni/Si O2-Al2O3,促进了原料裂解,抑制了产物缩合,反应生成单体、二聚体为主的油产物。Ni/Si O2-Al2O3催化促进了不饱和脂肪烃的重整和含氧官能团的减少,油收率显著下降。Ni催化则能够同时获得更好的油品质和较高的油收率(41.7%)。     

湿地植物在盐胁迫下的生理代谢响应研究

采用3.5%的Na Cl溶液分别对碱蓬、三七景天和星星草等3种植物进行浇灌,研究植物在生长过程中,其植株和土壤中离子含量、生物量、土壤p H值、全盐量等的变化,结果表明:在盐胁迫环境下,3种植物均表现出很强的耐盐性,碱篷植株体内可聚集大量的Cl-和Na+,但是,在碱蓬生长的土壤中含有很高的交换性钠含量,因其不断进入土壤胶体,从而加重了土壤碱性化程度;三七景天在生长过程中可有效降低土壤中的全盐量及交换性钠离子含量,对降低土壤盐碱性具有较好的作用;星星草通过迅速增加其体内可溶性糖含量来降低其渗透势,缓解体内盐分浓度,以抗盐胁迫环境,且能积累较高的干物质,保持相对稳定的含水率。因此,这3种植物都是较好的耐盐植物,可用以进行耐盐植物资源的开发和选育。
