The Gothic genre has historically been adopted by women writers to express their subversive gender views. In The Tenancy, Figes depicts the systematic oppression of the patriarchal society against women during the latter half of the twentieth century. She also revises the traditional Gothic topos of “oppression” in terms of three aspects: victim, intersectionality, and the source of oppression. Female victims no longer hold traditional gender values; they are new women who are oppressed for their nonconformity. This novel also shows that, with the development of technology and urbanization, patriarchal oppression has become more anonymous and more systematic, during which process gender and class parameters intersect with each other. Figes's revision upon the “oppression” topos reveals a more revolutionary insight than most Gothic novels in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. As a result, The Tenancy marks a significant transition from the female Gothic to the feminist Gothic.
MADS-box genes encode transcription factors that participate in various plant growth and development processes, particularly floral organogenesis. To date, MADS-box genes have been reported in many species, the completion of the sequence of the willow genome provides us with the opportunity to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the willow MADS-box gene family. Here, we identified 60 willow MADS-box genes using bioinformatics-based methods and classified them into 22 M-type (11 Mα, 7 Mβ and 4 Mγ) and 38 MIKC-type (32 MIKCc and 6 MIKC*) genes based on a phylogenetic analysis. Fifty-six of the 60 SsMADS genes were randomly distributed on 19 putative willow chromosomes. By combining gene structure analysis with evolutionary analysis, we found that the MIKC-type genes were more conserved and played a more important role in willow growth. Further study showed that the MIKC* type was a transition between the M-type and MIKC-type. Additionally, the number of MADS-box genes in gymnosperms was notably lower than that in angiosperms. Finally, the expression profiles of these willow MADS-box genes were analysed in five different tissues (root, stem, leave, bud and bark). This study is the first genome-wide analysis of the willow MADS-box gene family, and the results establish a basis for further functional studies of willow MADS-box genes and serve as a reference for related studies of other woody plants.

Articulated heavy vehicles have heavy loads, high shipping efficiency and low mileage cost. But due to the interaction between the tractor and the trailer, it is easy to appear "jack-knifing" or "trailer sway" and it is difficult to follow the given path of the travel. To this end, a four degrees of freedom single track model of a tractor/full-trailer is built, and the stability analysis is carried on to study the influences of the structural and operating parameters on the vehicle. Furthermore the trajectory tracking controller of trailer is designed, which can ensure that the trajectory of the trailer follows that of the tractor exactly by the control of the active front wheel steering angle of the trailer and the vehicle can maintain good handling stability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
