However, traditional Optical Transport Networks (OTNs) cannot meet the requirements of 3G networks anymore, because of their complicated configuration, low bandwidth efficiency, high cost, and bad network and service scalability. The emerging of Multi-Service Transport Platform (MSTP), Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), and Automatically Switched Optical Network (ASON) technologies for optical fiber communications makes up for these weaknesses. The leading solution to 3G access transport networks is the MSTP technology based on Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH), while that to 3G core transport network is ASON+WDM.展开更多

According to the effective stress path of different physical states under the undrained cyclic torsional tests the physical state transformation surface, stress history boundary and yield surface are determined, and the state boundary surface is also determined by the range of effective frictional stress state movement. Based on the moving yield surface without rotation, and the expanding stress history boundary surface relevant to the stress path variations under different physical states in 3D stress space, a physical state model is proposed to provide a new approach to calculating the transient pore water pressure under the undrained condition, and the volume strain of dilatation under drained condition in this paper.展开更多

Due to its high flavonoid contents, we aimed to find a new appli- cation for this plant. Preliminary tests using its ethanolic leaf extract showed that it could suppress the accumulation of lipids in adipocytes. We therefore studied the anti-adipogenic effect of several C. odorata leaf extracts and the relationship between molecular structure and bio-activity of its isolated flavonoid constituents using 3T3-LI preadipocytes/adipocytes as a model. Methods: Three leaf extracts and thirteen flavonoids isolated from C odorata were tested for their effect on lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes using AdipoRed reagent, with quercetin as the positive con- trol. The effects of active flavonoids on the adipocytes were confirmed by oil red O staining and visualized under a light microscope.Results: n-Hexane and ethyl acetate extracts of C odorata leaves displayed anti-adipogenic activity. The latter extract was the more potent one, especially at 40 μg/mL. Four flavonoids, pectolinarigenin, kaemp- feride, 4,2'-dihydroxy-4',5',6'-trimethoxychalcone and dillenetin, exhibited significant, concentration- dependent inhibitory effects on lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The most potent flavonoid obtained in this study was 4,2'-dihydroxy-4',5',6'-trimethoxychalcone, which caused 75% and 90% inhi- bition of cellular lipid accumulation at 30 and 50μmol/L, respectively. Both kaempferide and 4,2'-dihy droxy-4',5',6'-trimethoxychalcone were major constituents in the ethyl acetate extract of this plant.Conclusion: C odorata leaves contained several flavonoids with anti-adipogenic effects against lipid accu- mulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The plant, normally considered a useless weed, may actually provide an abundant source of biologically active flavonoids.展开更多

There are mainly two classes of technologies that are dedicated to the probing of genome spatial organization. Image-based analyses of three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) [1] have been widely used in genome spatial research. This technology family has contributed to many early land- mark discoveries of 3D genome (e.g., finding that chromo- somes occupy distinct non-overlapping territories in interphase [2]), and continues to assist biologists in zooming into the genome spatial structure [3]. The other technology family is 3D genome mapping, which takes advantage of the next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to sample the proximity ligated genome fragments [4,5] as chromatin interac- tions. Chromatin interaction analysis by paired-end tag sequencing (ChIA-PET) and high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) are two representative technolo- gies in this class [4,5]. ChIA-PET detects chromatin interac- tions mediated by specific protein factors, thus it is more specific and has higher resolution in comparison to Hi-C, which captures all chromatin contacts comprehensively. Since the introduction of ChIA-PET and Hi-C seven years ago [6,7], more detailed spatial genome architectures have been revealed,such as topologically associated domains (TAD) [8] and clus- tered gene promoters for transcription [9]. However, both Hi-C and ChlA-PET technologies face challenges including data noise stemming from complicated experimental protocols, exponential explosion in the sequencing depth required for higher resolution analysis, and large starting cell numbers. Some endeavors have been made to address one or some of such challenges. For instance, DNase I or micrococcal nucle- ase have been used to substitute restriction enzymes for chro- matin fragmentation, enabling higher resolution in chromatin contact mapping [10,11].展开更多
