Based on the numerical simulation method, this paper has established the numerical simulation method by using of finite difference software of FLAC3D through establishing interface for digging pile-soil. It can consider mutual effect of digging pile-soil. The uplift bearing capacity of the digging pile in slope ground was calculated and the affecting factors of the bearing capacity were analyzed. The results show that the uplift bearing capacity has a negative correlation with the slope ratio, and has a positive correlation with the width or height of the foundation, which can be expressed as a quadratic polynomial. But when the slope ratio is smaller than a certain extent, the capacity no longer increases. Nonlinear regression analysis of calculation data are carried out. Finally, the calculation method of uplift bearing capacity about pile in the slope is developed, which can provide a reference to specification revision and engineering.

Membrane transporters of the bacterial pyridine nucleotide uptake (Pnu) family mediate the uptake of various B-type vitamins. For example, the PnuT transporters have specificity for vitamin B1 (thiamine). It has been hypothesized that Pnu transporters are facilitators that allow passive transport of the vitamin substrate across the membrane. Metabolic trapping by phosphorylation would then lead to accumulation of the transported substrates in the cytoplasm. However, experimental evidence for such a transport mechanism is lacking. Here, to determine the mechanism of thiamine transport, we purify PnuTSw from Shewanella woodyi and reconstitute it in liposomes to determine substrate binding and transport properties. We show that the electrochemical gradient of thiamine solely determines the direction of transport, consistent with a facilitated diffusion mechanism. Further, PnuTSw can bind and transport thiamine as well as the thiamine analogues pyrithiamine and oxythiamine, but does not recognize the phosphorylated derivatives thiamine monophosphate and thiamine pyrophosphate as substrates, consistent with a metabolic trapping mechanism. Guided by the crystal structure of the homologous nicotinamide riboside transporter PnuC, we perform mutagenesis experiments, which reveal residues involved in substrate binding and gating. The facilitated diffusion mechanism of transport used by PnuTSw contrasts sharply with the active transport mechanisms used by other bacterial thiamine transporters.
