Bioactive Components and Color Variation Mechanism Among Three Differently Colored Peppers Based on Transcriptomics and Non-Targeted Metabolomics by Yunrong Mo, Wei Hua, Hong Cheng, Ruihao Zhang, Pingping Li, Minghua Deng

“…The upregulation of anthocyanin was related to the structural genes CaC4H, Ca4CL, CaCHS, CaF3H, CaANS, and CaUFGT, and key transcription factors such as <i>CaMYBs</i> and <i>CabHLHs</i> may have contributed to the differential accumulation of anthocyanins in CS03; in addition, RT-qPCR validation was correlated with anthocyanins, but also with flavonoids. …”

Research on Rolling Bearing Fault Diagnosis Using Improved Majorization-Minimization-Based Total Variation and Empirical Wavelet Transform by Yangli Ou, Shuilong He, Chaofan Hu, Jiading Bao, Wenjie Li

“…Vibration signature analyses are the most common approach to assess the viability of bearings due to its ease of measurement and high correlation with structural dynamics. However, the collected vibration signals of rolling bearings are usually nonstationary and are inevitably accompanied by noise interference. …”

Getting to the Point: Defining, Reconstructing and Investigating Shape Through a Procrustean Protocol by Ben R. Wigley, Paul G. Blackwell

“…Similarly, following a simulation study, it was found the best approach to imputing missing points will depend upon the level of missingness and can have important implications for the identification of statistical signals, such as structural modularity. In summary, in addition to an open-access digitisation template, a flexible protocol is presented which can be adapted to define, capture and reconstruct shape variation to investigate a diverse spectrum of hypotheses in archaeological materials (e.g., bones, lithics, sediments).…”

SEAL PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF FRACTURING PUMP V-SHAPED COMBINATION PLUNGER BASED ON FLUID PRESSURE PENETRATION by ZHAO Mingbo, HOU Yongjun, TANG Ruihuan, LI Huachuan, LIU Youping

“…A two-stage differential pressure plunger seal structure was proposed, and the sealing performance analysis of the structure was carried out.The results show that the maximum contact pressure of the seals all appear in the V-shaped sealing ring near the high-pressure fluid side, and the maximum stress is mainly in the lip and shoulder of the V-shaped sealing ring in contact with the support ring and press ring, the V-shaped sealing ring is more likely to fail on the side in contact with the plunger. …”
