Mitochondrial DNA Control Region Variation from Bangladesh: Sequence Analysis for the Establishment of a Forensic Database

Mitochondrial DNA sequences of the entire control region and three coding regions were analyzed in 108 unrelated individuals from three regions of Bangladesh. Sequence evaluation was performed with validated primers and combined sequence comparison led to the identification of 14 different haplotypes characterized by 37 variable polymorphic sites. The Bangladeshi sequences exhibited high variations and low random match probability, indicating for forensic application. The mean pairwise difference between individual was 9.698 ± 1.8658 nucleotides (95% CI 9.67 - 9.69), compared to a mean pairwise difference of 9.890 ± 4.189 nucleotides reported from Northeast Asia and suggested significant differences in the mtDNA composition of the various populations. The sequence diversity of 108 Bangladeshi Bengali samples (n = 216 chromosomes) was estimated to be 0.8475 ± 0.13406. This study first time reports that the comparison of closely related mtDNA sequences can be very useful for improving mtDNA database quality, as well as provide haplotype information for forensic study in mainstream population of Bangladesh.

中国与孟加拉国基本风压计算及分析比较

随着我国企业越来越多地走向国外,参与国际工程的总包、设计、建设,不同国家间的不同规范成为摆在企业面前的现实问题。文章主要从结构专业的角度,简单介绍了我国和孟加拉国两国对基本风速的不同定义、两国基本风压换算关系以及实际工程的计算实例。

中国、印度、孟加拉规范设计地震反应谱比较

介绍和分析了中国、印度、孟加拉现行规范的设计地震反应谱计算方法,对设计反应谱的重现期、地面运动加速度峰值、场地土分类原则、结构响应折减系数、重要性系数等影响设计反应谱取值的参数进行了讨论,并就几种典型情况下的三种反应谱取值进行了比较,分析了对比较结果影响较大的因素。

孟加拉国铁路桥梁抗震设计研究

孟加拉国地质条件和自然环境复杂,基础设施建设非常落后。该国将大规模修建铁路,但缺乏铁路设计规范。因此,选用合理的规范体系对孟加拉国铁路设计和施工是必要的。本文从孟加拉国独特的地质构造出发,通过研究孟加拉国建筑规范的地震作用、场地类别等,把当地的地震作用与中国规范桥梁抗震设计方法结合,完成了孟加拉帕德玛大桥铁路连接线的桥梁抗震设计。该成果已通过孟方审批并实施,以期为孟加拉国铁路桥梁设计提供参考。
