Although researchers have found that emotions affect unethical behavior, few studies have uncovered the mechanism between anxiety and unethical behavior. The present study investigated how anxiety might influence unethical behavior based on the dual-process theory. In Experiment 1, a recall writing task was used to induce anxiety, and unethical behavior was assessed during an Interaction Task. Results showed that compared with participants who felt neutral emotions, those who felt anxiety were more likely to act unethically. In Experiment 2, we induced emotions by having participants watch videos and measured unethical behavior through a visual perception task. The results replicated findings in Experiment 1 and found that intuitive and automatic processing mediated the relationship between anxiety and unethical behavior. Collectively, our work reveals that anxiety might increase unethical behavior because individuals who feel anxious are more likely to engage in intuitive automatic processing that shifts attention from moral standards to self-interest, and thus to behave unethically. Both theoretical and practical implications of the results are discussed., Author(s): Hui Zhang [sup.1] [sup.2], Yanwei Shi [sup.1] [sup.2], Zhiqing E.

An accurate interatomic potential energy surface for ground state of SH2− is reported at the multireference configuration interaction level of theory using aug–cc–pVQZ basis set. The calculated ab initio energy points are utilized, after semi-empirically correcting the dynamical correlation by the many-body expansion-scaled external correlation method. To verify the accuracy of the potential energy surface, molecular reaction dynamics, including the relationship between reaction probability and collision energy, thermal rate constant, and integral scattering cross section are calculated by using the quantum time-dependent wave packet method. The final results show that our potential energy surface is accurate and the molecular reaction dynamics results are satisfactory, and the accurate potential energy surface and its dynamics results can also lay a foundation for the future experimental research of SH−-containing molecules. This study provides a reasonable ionic chemical dissociation channel for the dynamics, A global many-body expansion (MEB) PES is reported by fitting high-precision ab initio energies calculated at the multireference configuration interaction level with Davidson correction (MRCI(Q)) and the aug-cc-pVQZ basis set (AVQZ). By comparing with the integral cross section with experimental result, which have agreement with the previous experimental and theoretical values. Our theoretical results can provide effective support for future dynamic experiments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Power optimization design of silicon microheater of mine-used MEMS methane sensor was carried out by use of ANSYS finite element software. Firstly, a calculation model of silicon resistivity within certain temperature range was built on basis of known doping concentration. Then an orthogonal test for dule-cantilever type silicon microheater with U shape was carried out according to the calculated resistivity results in ANSYS software, which took doping concentration, distance between two cantilevers and cantilever width as influence factors, so as to research influence of different factors on power of silicon microheater. The test results show that cantilever width and doping concentration are main factors influencing the power of silicon microheater, while distance between two cantilevers has little influence. The power of silicon microheater decreases with decrease of cantilever width, and increases first then decreases with increase of doping concentration. Power of silicon microheater can achieve the optimal value when cantilever width is 25 μm, doping concentration is 1019 cm-3 and distance between two cantilevers is 10 μm at 600 ℃.

Interspecies hybridization has been widely used in the development of aquaculture in fish species but there is not much impact in crustacean species. Several species of crustaceans that have been successfully crossed still have low hatching rates and the hybrids obtained have not met expectations. This review tries to summarize and analyse interspecific hybridization of cultured crustacean species (shrimps, lobsters, crayfish and crabs) and its potential for development of crustacean aquaculture production. The success of cross‐breeding on several species of shrimp and lobster has been supported by artificial insemination technology. In crabs, artificial insemination cannot be applied and cross‐breeding still relies on natural mating with an unstable success rate. In addition to cross‐breeding in captivity, cross‐breeding of crustacean species (shrimp, lobster, crayfish and crab) in nature has also been found. Interbreeding of crustacean species in nature cannot always be distinguished morphologically, hybrids between them can be known with certainty after carrying out molecular analysis. Even though the level of reproductive performance in cross‐breeding of shrimp, lobster, crayfish and crab species is still low, cross‐breeding efforts must be continued to obtain more information so that it can later be mapped which species have the potential to develop hybrids for cultivation. Furthermore, growth, reproductive performance, monosex hybridity and disease resistance are all hybrid parameters that must be evaluated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we present an enhanced method for automatically capturing a large number of consecutive paraffin sections using a microscope. Leveraging these microstructural images, we employed three‐dimensional visualisation and reconstruction techniques to investigate the dispersal growth process of pollen tube bundles upon entering the ovary of Solanum nigrum. Additionally, we explored their behaviour within different ovules and examined the relationship between the germination rate of seeds and the fertilisation process. Our findings reveal that despite the abundance of Solanum nigrum seeds, only a fraction of them is capable of successful germination. The germination rate of seeds is closely related to whether fertilisation of the ovules and pollen tubes is completed. Due to the limited number of pollen tubes entering the ovary, only a portion of the ovules can be fertilised. The proportion of fertilised ovules positively correlates with the germination rate of the seeds. Through three‐dimensional reconstruction, we observed a phenomenon of proximity during the pollination process, wherein ovules closer to the pollen tube bundles are more likely to be fertilised. Furthermore, fertilised ovules exhibited significant changes in morphology and embryo sac structure. The number of fertilised ovules directly impacts the germination rate of wild Solanum nigrum seeds. Although all Solanum nigrum ovules have the potential to develop into seeds, most seeds originating from unfertilised ovules are unable to germinate normally, resulting in an incomplete germination rate of seeds and preventing it from reaching 100%.
