With a case study, we design three different schemes. We use Matlab to realize the prediction of the sectional passenger flow of the Beijing subway Line 2 and make comparative analysis. The empirical research shows that combining data characteristics of sectional passenger flow with the BP neural network have good prediction accuracy.展开更多

The chaperone protein clusterin has, since its first discovery at the end of the 20^th century, been labeled as a cytoprotector. However, epigenetic studies showing that clusterin is associated with the severity and risk of AD, especially in the hippocampus, triggered studies to clarify its role in the pathogenesis of AD. It is true that clusterin can inhibit the aggregation of Aβ and therefore prevent further formation of senile plaques in the AD brain, yet it induces the formation of soluble forms of Aβ which are toxic to neurons. Another problematic finding is that clusterin is involved in a pathway through which Aβ has neurodegenerative effects intracellularly. Although the role of clusterin in the pathogenesis of AD is still not clear, this review specifically discusses the interactions between clusterin and Aβ, to open up the possibility of a potential therapeutic approach for treating AD.展开更多
