L-type GATA-6 has an extension of 146 amino acid residues at its amino terminus. In the extension, there is a unique PEST sequence (Glu31-Cys46), which is composed of an amino terminal Pro-rich segment and a carboxyl terminal Ser-cluster. Substitution of either half of the PEST sequence with Ala residues by cassette mutagenesis reduced the apparent molecular size of L-type GATA-6 on SDS-polyacrylamide gel-electrophoresis. However, the effect of substitution of the Pro-rich segment was much more significant;the mobility increase of the Pro-rich segment on the gel was 13% while that of the Ser-cluster was 8%. Substitution of each amino acid residue demonstrated that the effect of Pro substitution is greater than that of the Ser and Thr residues. Such increased mobility of L-type GATA-6 in the presence of a detergent may apparently correlate with the decrease in transcription activity in vivo as determined by means of luciferase reporter gene assay. The activity of ΔAla (with Ala residues instead of the PEST sequence) was reduced to one fifth of that of ΔA (with the PEST sequence). These results suggest that the PEST sequence of L-type GATA-6 does not function as a constitutive protein degradation signal, but rather plays structural and functional roles in the activation of gene expression on the GATA responsive promoter.展开更多

A hetero-structure photodiode was grown with a 50% cut-off wavelength of 15.2 μm, at 77 K.A 320×256 VLWIR focal plane array with this design was fabricated and characterized. The peak quantum efficiency without an antireflective coating was 25.74% at the reverse bias voltage of-20 mV, yielding a peak specific detectivity of 5.89×10^10cm·Hz^1/2·W^-1. The operability and the uniformity of response were 89% and 83.17%. The noise-equivalent temperature difference at 65 K exhibited a minimum at 21.4 mK, corresponding to an average value of 56.3 mK.展开更多

The seismograms of two horizontal components of the M s 7.1 earthquake, an aftershock of 1976 M S=7.8 Tangshan earthquake, recorded by type 513 seismograph in Taian station are used as an example. After curve digitization, arc shape curve correction, equal distance interpolation and instrument response correction, the absolute acceleration response spectra, relative velocity response spectra and relative displacement response spectra of different damping ratios in the period range of T ≤10 s are calculated in frequency domain.展开更多

The hypothesis was that DAFNE outcomes would differ according to frequency of glucose monitoring.Methods:?A?sequential data-triangulation design using existing?baseline (T0) and 12-months (T12)?DAFNE course data and interview data from 12 randomly selected participants who had completed the course two years ago.?Results: Age range was 23 to 70 years with HbA1c 6.1% to 12.6% at T0?and 6.1% to 11.4% at T12. Comparisons of HbA1c, PAID, HAD subscales?anxiety?and?depression,?and covariate data between T0?and T12indicatedsignificant reductions in the mean depression and PAID scores (both?P?< 0.001) for the whole group. For the two groups who recorded their blood glucose less than three times or three or more times per day, changes were not significantly different. For both groups, the trend between T0?and T12?was downwards for change in mean blood glucose level and all survey scales. The proportion of all participants with T12?HbA1c at or below their T0?value was greater than 50% (Proportion = 69%, 95% CI: 56% - 79%) but only the highest HbA1c tertile group showed a significant difference (P?= 0.003). There was an average decrease in the incidence of hypoglycaemic events of 0.6 overall: The greatest change was for the high HbA1c tertile with a mean decrease of 0.8. The interview data suggested that DAFNE graduates experimented more with food, exercise, and insulin;gained knowledge;learnt personal body needs;increased awareness of blood glucose level;gained confidence and improved their quality of life. Conclusions: There was insufficient evidence to conclude that frequency of blood glucose monitoring influenced metabolic control. However, people with type 1 diabetes who undertake the less restricted DAFNE approach to diabetes self-management can improve their quality of life and glycaemic control.展开更多

The eight-band k·p model is used to calculate the electronic structures of such SLs and on the basis of band structures, the Boltzmann equation approach is employed to calculate the optical absorption coefficients for the corresponding SL systems. It is found that long-period InAs/GaSb type-II SLs have a considerable absorption in the THz bandwidth. By examining the dependence of THz absorption coefficient on the InAs/GaSb layer widths, we demonstrate that with a proper choice of InAs/GaSb layer widths, an optimized THz absorption can be achieved. This study is pertinent to the potential application of InAs/GaSb type-II SLs as THz photo detectors.展开更多

A K-means clustering method is used in this paper to get 5 minutes traffic volume variation as input data for the Gaussian interval type-2 fuzzy sets which can reflect the distribution of historical traffic volume in one statistical period. Moreover, the cluster with the largest collection of data obtained by K-means clustering method is calculated to get the key parameters of type-2 fuzzy sets, mean and standard deviation of the Gaussian membership function.Using the range of data as the input of Gaussian interval type-2 fuzzy sets leads to the range of traffic volume forecasting output with the ability of describing the possible range of the traffic volume as well as the traffic volume prediction data with high accuracy. The simulation results show that the average relative error is reduced to 8% based on the combined K-means Gaussian interval type-2 fuzzy sets forecasting method. The fluctuation range in terms of an upper and a lower forecasting traffic volume completely envelopes the actual traffic volume and reproduces the fluctuation range of traffic flow.展开更多
