The TAvg, TMax and TMin all go through several warm and cold periods, and exhibit statistically significant linear warming trend especially in spring and winter, as a response to global warming. Besides, the TAvg reflects more the TMin evolution for the most part, either as a trend or an abrupt change, and the contribution of TMin to Tavg is far greater than that of TMax. The abrupt change year of climate is also around 1979 in Qingdao, and it is 2 or 3-years later than the TAvg for the TMin, while there is no abrupt change of TMax. In terms of the precipitation in Qingdao, it varies periodically and dramatically with a slow increasing trend. As for the seasonal precipitation, the precipitation varies widely year by year for the four seasons but with no obvious variation trend except for spring.展开更多

文摘Gas drainage is carried out based on output from each coal bed throughout commingling production of coalbed methane(CBM).A reasonable drainage process should therefore initially guarantee main coal bed production and then enhance gas output from other beds.Permanent damage can result if this is not the case,especially with regard to fracture development in the main gas-producing coal bed and can greatly reduce single well output.Current theoretical models and measuring devices are inapplicable to commingled CBM drainage,however,and so large errors in predictive models cannot always be avoided.The most effective currently available method involves directly measuring gas output from each coal bed as well as determining the dominant gas-producing unit.A dynamic evaluation technique for gas output from each coal bed during commingling CBM production is therefore proposed in this study.This technique comprises a downhole measurement system combined with a theoretical calculation model.Gas output parameters(i.e.,gas-phase flow rate,temperature,pressure)are measured in this approach via a downhole measurement system;substituting these parameters into a deduced theoretical calculation model then means that gas output from each seam can be calculated to determine the main gas-producing unit.Trends in gas output from a single well or each seam can therefore be predicted.The laboratory and field test results presented here demonstrate that calculation errors in CBM outputs can be controlled within a margin of 15%and therefore conform with field use requirements.

文摘In this work, the average mean (TAvg), maximum (TMax), and minimum temperature (TMin) and precipitation records of Qingdao from 1899 to 2015 are analyzed. The TAvg, TMax and TMin all go through several warm and cold periods, and exhibit statistically significant linear warming trend especially in spring and winter, as a response to global warming. Besides, the TAvg reflects more the TMin evolution for the most part, either as a trend or an abrupt change, and the contribution of TMin to Tavg is far greater than that of TMax. The abrupt change year of climate is also around 1979 in Qingdao, and it is 2 or 3-years later than the TAvg for the TMin, while there is no abrupt change of TMax. In terms of the precipitation in Qingdao, it varies periodically and dramatically with a slow increasing trend. As for the seasonal precipitation, the precipitation varies widely year by year for the four seasons but with no obvious variation trend except for spring.
文摘BACKGROUND Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC)is a malignant tumor of the hepatobiliary system with concealed onset,strong invasiveness and poor prognosis.AIM To explore the disease characteristic genes that may be helpful in the diagnosis of ICC and affect immune cell infiltration.METHODS We downloaded two ICC-related human gene expression profiles from GEO database as the training group(GSE26566 and GSE32958 datasets)for difference analysis,and performed enrichment analysis on differential genes.The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO),support vector machinerecursive feature elimination(SVM-RFE)and random forest(RF),three machine learning algorithms,were used to screen the characteristic genes.Double verification was carried out on GSE107943 and The Cancer Genome Atlas,two verification groups.Receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the curve(AUC)were used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of genes for ICC.CIBERSORT and ssGSEA algorithms were used to evaluate the effect of characteristic genes on immune infiltration pattern.Human Protein Atlas(HPA)was used to analyze the protein expression level of the target gene.RESULTS A total of 1091 differential genes were obtained in the training group.Enrichment analysis showed that the above genes were mainly enriched in small molecular catabolism,complement and coagulation cascade,bile secretion and other functions and pathways.Twentyfive characteristic genes were screened by LASSO regression,19 by SVM-RFE algorithm,and 30 by RF algorithm.Three algorithms were used in combination to determine the characteristic gene of ICC:MMP14.The verification group confirmed that the genes had a high diagnostic accuracy(AUC values of the training group and the verification group were 0.960,0.999,and 0.977,respectively).Comprehensive analysis of immune infiltration showed that MMP14 could affect the infiltration of monocytes,activated memory CD4 T cells,resting memory CD4 T cells,and other immune cells,and was closely related to the expression of CD200,cytotoxic T-lymphocyteassociated antigen 4,CD14,CD44,and other immune checkpoints.The results of immunohistochemistry in HPA database showed was indeed overexpressed in ICC.CONCLUSION MMP14 can be used as a disease characteristic gene of ICC,and may regulate the distribution of immune-infiltrating cells in the ICC tumor microenvironment,which provides a new method for the determination of ICC diagnostic markers and screening of therapeutic targets.
