Accurate three-dimensional(3D) assessment can quantify the relationship between movement patterns of an animal and its unique habitat. Here, we evaluated the effects of habitat structure on movement patterns of the golden snub-nosed monkey(Rhinopithecus roxellana). We used airborne light detection and ranging(LiDAR) to map the 3D structure of the temperate forest in the Qinling Mountains(Shaanxi, China).展开更多

Data were collected on demographics and hepatitis B vaccination history, and serum was tested for hepatitis B surface antigen(HBs Ag) by ELISA. RESULTS: A total of 11469 participants(7.70%, 95%CI: 7.57%-7.84%) were positive for HBs Ag. HBs Ag prevalence was 0.77% among children < 5 years old but increased progressively from adolescents(1.40%-2.55%) to adults(5.69%-11.22%). A decrease in HBs Ag prevalence was strongly associated with vaccination and familial history of HBV among both children and adult groups. Meanwhile, HBs Ag risk in adults was associated with invasive testing and sharing needles. The HBV immunization rate among participants aged < 20 years was 93.30%(95%CI: 93.01%-93.58%). Significant difference in HBs Ag prevalence appeared between vaccinated and unvaccinated participants(3.59% vs 10.22%). CONCLUSION: Although the national goal of HBs Ag prevalence < 1% among children < 5 years old has been reached, immunization programs should be maintained to prevent resurgence.展开更多

Its electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction and corrosion resistance was evaluated by anodic polarization curves and accelerated corro- sion test, respectively. The microscopic morphologies of the anode section and anodic oxidation layer during accelerated corrosion test were obtained by scanning electron microscopy. It is found that the composite anode （hard anodizing） dis- plays a more compact interracial combination and a better adhesive strength than plating tin. Compared with industrial Pb-0.3%Ag anodes, the oxygen evolution overpotentials of A1/Pb-0.3%Ag alloy （hard anodizing） and A1/Pb-0.3%Ag alloy （plating tin） at 500 A.m-2 were lower by 57 and 14 mV, respectively. Furthermore, the corrosion rates of Pb-0.3%Ag alloy, A1/Pb-0.3%Ag alloy （hard anodizing）, and A1/Pb-0.3%Ag alloy （plating tin） were 13.977, 9.487, and 11.824 g.m-2.h-1, respectively, in accelerated corrosion test for 8 h at 2000 A-m-2. The anodic oxidation layer of A1/Pb-0.3%Ag alloy （hard anodizing） is more compact than Pb-0.3%Ag alloy and A1/Pb-0.3%Ag alloy （plating tin） after the test.展开更多

However,the epidemiology of HCV is changing and the rate of HCV infection is increasing due to the growth in the number of injecting drug users in the society. In addition,a shift has occurred in the distribution pattern of HCV genotypes among HCV-infected patients in Iran. Genotype 1a is the most prevalent genotype in Iran,but in recent years,an increase in the frequency of 3a and a decrease in 1a and 1b have been reported. These variations in the epidemiology of HCV reflect differences in the routes of transmission,status of public health,lifestyles,and risk factors in different groups and geographic regions of Iran. Health policy makers should consider these differences to establish better strategies for control and prevention of HCV infection. Therefore,this review was conducted to present a clear view regarding the current epidemiology of HCV infection in Iran.展开更多

The monolayer assembly of Fe3O4 nanoparticles with a high particle-stacking density on the graphene oxide(GO) sheets is achieved by mixing two immiscible solutions of Fe3O4 nanoparticles in hexane and GO in dimethylformide(DMF) by a mild sonication. The x-ray diffraction and Raman spectrum confirm the reduced process of rGO by a simple thermal treatment. The permittivity value of the composite in a frequency range of 0.1 GHz-18 GHz increases with annealing temperature of GO increasing. For 5-wt% rGO/Fe3O4 NPs/PU, the maximum refection loss(RL) of over-35 dB appears at 4.5 GHz when the thickness of film increases to 5 mm. The rGO/Fe3O4 NPs/PU film, exhibiting good electromagnetic properties over GHz frequency range, could be a potential candidate as one of microwave absorption materials in flexible electronic devices.展开更多

文摘Schistosomiasis japonica,caused by the human blood fluke Schistosoma japonicum,remains a major public health problem in China,although great success has been achieved.The control efforts during the past half-decade,notably the wide implementation of the new integrated strategy with emphasis on control of the source of S.japonicum infection across the country since 2004,has greatly reduced S.japonicum in humans,livestock,and intermediate host Oncomelania hupensis snails,and transmission control of schistosomiasis was achieved in China in 2015.A two-stage roadmap was therefore proposed for schistosomiasis elimination in 2015,with aims to achieve transmission interruption by 2020 and achieve disease elimination by 2025 in the country.During the last two decades,a variety of approaches,which target the epidemiological factors of schistosomiasis japonica have been developed,in order to block the transmission cycle of the parasite.These approaches have been employed in the national or local schistosomiasis control activities,and facilitated,at least in part,the progress of the schistosomiasis elimination programs.Here,we present an approach to control the source of S.japonicum infection,three new tools for snail control,three approaches for detecting and monitoring S.japonicum infection,and a novel model for health education.These approaches are considered to play a great role in the stage moving towards transmission interruption and elimination of schistosomiasis in China.

By a constructive way, weprove that for any positive integer m, there exists a multi-peak nodal solution vp whose maxima and minima arelocated alternately near the origin and the other m points q1=（λcos^2Л（1-1）/m,λsin 2Л（1-1）/m,1=2,…,m＋1such that as p goes to ＋∞ ,p︳x︳2α︳up︳p-1 up→8Лe（1＋α）（1＋α）δ0＋∑^m＋1δ_1=28Лe（-1）l-1δql,whereλ∈（0, 1）, m is an odd number with（1＋α）（m＋2） -- 1 〉 0, or m is an even number. The same techniqueslead also to a more general result on general domains.
