Numerical Simulation of Multi-point Corona Discharge Characteristics in Thunderstorms by Xu Dewang, Tan Yongbo

“…When the points release corona charge, the corona current ranges from 0.84×10-5 μA to 2.24×10-5 μA.Under multi-point conditions, the relative position of the point, the distance between points, and the environmental electric field play an important role in whether the point can release corona charge, and the environmental electric field is the dominant factor. …”

Microscale total genomic DNA was used to explore the complete mitochondrial genomes of two biting midge species of the family Ceratopogonidae (Insecta: Diptera) by Xiaohong Jiang, Yao Xie, Qiongyou Liu

“…Conclusion Different PCG genes were terminated with an incomplete T residue and AT skews in F. humilavolita and D. bilineata. Whether these differences occur between species or genera requires study of the complete mitochondrial genomes of more species of Ceratopogonidae, and the two-fragment cloning method can be used for this. …”
