The ^3He/^4He ratio varies from1.3 to 8.7 Ra（n=10, average： 5.1 Ra）, whereas the ^40Ar/^36Ar ratio is from 285.3 to 314.7（n=10, average： 294.8）. These results suggest that the He was derived from a mixture of MORB with variable amounts of seawater, but the Ar in the ore-forming fluids trapped in the sulfides is predominantly derived from seawater. The fluid inclusions of barite have a wide range of homogenization temperatures and salinities varying from 163℃ to 260℃ and 2.6 wt%to 8.5 wt% Na Cl equiv., respectively. It is suggested that the ore-forming fluids were produced by phase separation, which agreed with the present-day vent fluid study.展开更多

The spacing between adjacent cylinders is sub-critical （1.435D）. IDDES prediction of two cylinders （TC） with the same spacing is compared to experimental data for validation, and the numerical results agree well with the available measurements, except for the asymmetry in the gap region. The flow past TriC is investigated using the same method. Generally, the mean flow quantities past TriC, such as the velocity, pressure, and vorticity, are similar to the corresponding components of TC. However, the pressure fluctuations on the TriC surface are uniformly larger than those on TC. Meanwhile, the instantaneous flows past TriC are much more complex. The periodical blockage in the first gap region is found in the TriC case and leads to the up-and-down movement of shear layer in the second gap region.展开更多

It is found that GdxBal-xFeO3-σas（0.025 _〈 x _〈 0.1） exhibits the cubic perovskite structure. Among GdxBal-xFeO3-σas （0.025 -〈 x -〈 0.1 ）, the GdxBal-xFeO3-σas （GBF2.5） membrane shows the outstanding phase structure stability and the highest oxygen permeation, which can reach 1.44 ml. cm- 2. rain- 1 at 950 ℃ under air/He oxygen partial pressure gradient. The GBF2.5 membrane was successfully operated for more than 100 h at 800 ℃ and the oxygen permeation flux through the membrane is 0.62 ml. cm- 2. rain- 1. After 100 h oxygen permeation experiment at 800℃, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer （EDXS） demonstrate that the GBF2.5 exhibits phase structure stability even at intermediate temoerature.展开更多

The objective of this study was to assess the third 90 of the UNAIDS strategy for the years 2019 and 2020 in the CAR. <strong>Methods</strong> We analyzed the available viral load data extracted from the data base of the medical analysis laboratory (SYSLAM) of the Institut Pasteur of Bangui for the years 2019 and 2020. The viral loads were determined based on plasma collected in an EDTA tube with Cepheid’s GeneXpert<sup><span style="white-space:nowrap;">®</span></sup> 16-module controllers. Viral load data were extracted from SYSLAM, converted to Excel format, and analyzed with STATA version 14 software. The significance threshold for the statistical tests was set at 5%. <strong>Results</strong> This study included 22,895 patients, of who 72% were female. The average age was 40.82 years, and the majority of the patients (80%) came from the city of Bangui. Regarding the virological parameters associated with this study, 66% of the patients had significant viral load suppression according to the WHO recommendations and 34% were in virological failure. Patients over 50 years of age (71.85%) and age group 40 - 49 years (69.25%) recorded significant levels of viral load suppression. On the other hand, 63.45% of patients under 18 years of age had virological failure. All of these results were statistically significant (p < 0.005). <strong>Conclusion</strong> There should be a concerted effort, to make viral load accessible and available to all patients receiving ARV treatment in the CAR and the management of HIV/AIDS infection of children and adolescents should be given special attention.展开更多

The influence of the central buckle on natural vibration characteristics and bridge-deck driving comfort of a long-span suspension bridge is studied by using a case study of Siduhe Suspension Bridge in China. Based on the finite element software ANSYS and independently complied program, the influence of the central buckle on the structure force-applied characteristics of a long-span suspension bridge has been explored. The results show that the huge increases of natural frequencies can result in the presence of central buckles because of the increases of bending and torsional rigidities. The central buckle basically makes the stiffening girders and cables within the triangular area covered as a relatively approximate rigid area. Hence, the central buckle can reduce the torsional displacement of the main girder. However, the increases of bending and torsional rigidities have little influence on the impact factor, which is obtained by using vehicle-bridge coupled vibration analysis. This means that the central buckle has little effect on the comfort indices. In addition, it is found that the central buckle can enhance the bridge deck's driving stability due to the decrease of the torsional displacements of the main girder.展开更多

These limitations underscore a need to develop therapies to serve the large population of diabetic patients. This study was designed to document central cell damage to isolated islets of Langerhans in hamsters and its prevention. METHODS: Islets were cultured at 37 °C for 7-14 days after isolation, and then at 26 °C for 2,4 and 7 days before addi- tional culture at 37 °C for an additional 7 days. Central cell damage in the isolated islets was monitored by video-mi- croscopy and analyzed quantitatively by a computer-assis- ted image analysis system. The analysis included daily measurement of the diameter and the area of the isolated is- lets and the area of the central cell damage that developed in those islets over time during culture. Histological exami- nation and TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay were used to characterize cell damage and to monitor islet function. RESULTS; Microscopic analysis showed that during the 7 to 14 days of culture at 37 °C, central cell damage appeared in the larger islets with diameters greater than 200 μm, which included both necrotic and apoptotic cell death. Low temperature (26 °C) culture prevented central cell damage of isolated islets. The 7-day culture procedure at 26 °C could inhibit most of the central cell ( excluding diameters greater than 300 μm) damage when the islets were re- warmed to 37 °C. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that central cell da- mage to isolated islets of Langerhans correlates with the size of the islets. Low temperature (26 °C) culture can preventcentral cell damage to the isolated islets, and is capable to successfully precondition these islets for 37 °C culture. These novel findings may help to understand the patho- physiology of early loss of islet tissue after transplantation, and may provide a new strategy to improve graft function in the clinical setting of islet transplantation.展开更多

Streamline pattern, total pressure loss coefficient, outlet flow angle and topological analysis are considered to study the effect and mechanism of the plasma flow control on corner separation. Results presented include the boundary layer flow behavior, effects of three types of PAA on separated flows and performance parameters, topology structures and sequences of singular points with and without PAA. Two separation lines, reversed flow and backflow exist on the suction surface. The cross flow on the endwall is an important element for the comer separation. PAA can reduce the undertuming and overturning as well as the total pressure loss, leading to an overall increase of flow turning and enhancement of aerodynamic performance. PAA can change the topology structure, sequences of singular points and their corresponding separation lines. Types II and III PAA are much more efficient in controlling comer separation and enhancing aerodynamic performances than type I.展开更多
