Study on Development Rule of Muscle Fiber in Different Duck Breeds

[Objective] The aim of this study was to investigate the development rule of muscle fiber in different duck breeds during various developmental stages. [Method] Cherry valley duck, Jinding duck, White muscory duck and Suma duck （ Cherry valley duck ♂ × Jinding duck ♀ ） were fed for 10 weeks to observe the ultrastructure of muscle fiber by electron microscope, and the myofibril diameter and sarcomere length were also determined. [Result] The myofibril diameter increased with ages. Sarcomere length and myofibril diameter did not change significantly with the increasing ages （P〉0.05）. The myofibril diameter of White muscory duck and Jinding duck were thicker, while that of Cherry valley cluck and Suma duck were thinner. Moreover, the sarcomere length of Suma duck and White muscory duck were longer, while that of Cherry valley duck and Jinding duck were shorter. Thus, the basic characteristics of ultrastructure of muscle fiber were consistent in these duck breeds.[Conclusion] The results have an important meaning for duck breeding.

Meta-analysis of potentially confounding effect of class size on associations between object-oriented metrics and maintainability

This paper uses three size metrics,which are collectable during the design phase,to analyze the potentially confounding effect of class size on the associations between object-oriented（OO）metrics and maintainability.To draw as many general conclusions as possible,the confounding effect of class size is analyzed on 127 C＋＋ systems and 113 Java systems.For each OO metric,the indirect effect that represents the distortion of the association caused by class size and its variance for individual systems is first computed.Then,a statistical meta-analysis technique is used to compute the average indirect effect over all the systems and to determine if it is significantly different from zero.The experimental results show that the confounding effects of class size on the associations between OO metrics and maintainability generally exist,regardless of whatever size metric is used.Therefore,empirical studies validating OO metrics on maintainability should consider class size as a confounding variable.

Fractal features of size distribution of Chinese intercity bus hubs

Size distribution characteristics of intercity bus hubs in China from 1997 to 2（104 were analyzed regarding highway passenger volume as a size index of intercity bus hubs. Yearly fractal dimensions of intercity bus hub sizes were exactly calculated by a novel model. Fractal dimensions of the 200 biggest intercity bus hubs from 2000 to 2004 were 1. 486 2 to 1. 511 8, and that is consistent with fractal dimensions of Chinese urban system sizes. It showed that the size distribution of intercity bus hubs had fractal structure. Fractal dimensions from 1997 to 2004 indicated that intercity bus hub size distribution grew from bi-fractal to single fractal. It is concluded that the intercity bus hub system is in evolutionary progress, and the Central Government should support large intercity bus hubs more to optimize system structure.

Analysis on the Production Advantages of USA Pima Extra Long Staple Cotton

This paper defines the following advantages of ELS （Extra Long Staple） also known as Pima cotton planted in the United States： first, the only variety which is concentrated in the planting area with good soil moisture and fertilizer retention performances and abundant light and heat resources; second; advanced and practi- cal material equipment and technology; third; high yield and good quality, significant planting scale benefit; fourth, feasible and reliable modernized intensive farm man- agement mode with large-scale agricultural machinery operation; fifth, high-efficient social services and policy support system, as well as reasonable planting layout, good brand influence, synchronization of high yield and good quality with large-scale benefits. Although the production capability of Pima cotton in the United States is considered to be the largest and most powerful country in the world, compared with the ELS production in China, both have their own advantages and characteristics. Therefore, it is suggested that by using the ELS production experience ol the Unit- ed Stages for reference, China should make use of the modern breeding technJques to accelerate the modification of synthetic genetic features of ELS variety, try its best to breed the ELS variety which is suitable for mechanical plucking as soon as possible, actively develop new technology to simplify the whole cost saving cultiva- tion, reform ELS production organization, vigorously develop the social service sys- tem, and adjust and optimize the ELS industry support policies, so as to fundamen- tally improve the competitiveness of China＇s ELS in international market.

GRAPH GRAMMAR METHOD FOR 3-D CORNER DETECTION

Most of local feature descriptors assume that the scene is planar. In the real scene, the captured images come from the 3-D world. 3-D corner as a novel invariant feature is important for the image matching and the object detection, while automatically discriminating 3-D corners from ordinary corners is difficult. A novel method for 3-D corner detection is proposed based on the image graph grammar, and it can detect the 3-D features of corners to some extent. Experimental results show that the method is valid and the 3-D corner is useful for image matching.

Radial Based Probabilistic Roadmap Motion Planning Method in Sparse Environment

A new dynamic path planning method in high dimensional workspace, radial based probabilistic roadmap motion (RBPRM) planning method, is presented. Different from general probabilistic roadmap motion planning methods, it uses straight lines as long as possible to construct a path graph, so the final path obtained from the graph is relatively shorter and straighter. Experimental results show the efficiency of the algorithm in finding shorter paths in sparse environment.

Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in QED_3

In order to examine how a propagator behaves in non-perturbative theories and how its behavior is influenced by the choice of a covariant gauge a truncated Dyson-Schwinger equation is used to numerically investigate the properties of fermions and bosons in 3D quantum electrodynamics QED and a series of self-consistent solutions for the fermion propagator in the Nambu and Wigner phases are obtained. These numerical solutions show that the propagator behaves very differently in the Landau gauge domain and in the infrared energy region outside it.By using the propagators in the Nambu and Wigner phases under various gauges it is further investigated how the fermion equivalent pressure difference and fermion condensation change with the gauge parameters.These results indicate that the phase transition described by the CJT equivalent potential and the chiral phase transition described by the chiral condensation are not completely identical.

In this paper, the generalized ranch function method is extended to （2＋1）-dimensianal canonical generalized KP （CGKP） equation with variable coetfficients. Taking advantage of the Riccati equation, many explicit exact solutions, which contain multiple soliton-like and periodic solutions, are obtained for the （2＋1）-dimensional OGKP equation with variable coetffcients.

Dimension-down iterative algorithm for the mixed transportation network design problem

An optimal dimension-down iterative algorithm （DDIA） is proposed for solving a mixed （continuous/ discrete） transportation network design problem （MNDP）, which is generally expressed as a mathematical programming with equilibrium constraints （MPEC）. The upper level of the MNDP aims to optimize the network performance via both the expansion of existing links and the addition of new candidate links, whereas the lower level is a traditional Wardrop user equilibrium （UE） model. The idea of the proposed DDIA is to reduce the dimensions of the problem. A group of variables （discrete/continuous） are fixed to altemately optimize another group of variables （continuous/discrete）. Some continuous network design problems （CNDPs） and discrete network design problems （DNDPs） are solved repeatedly until the optimal solution is obtained. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

Experimental study on energy storage and dissipation characteristics of granite under two-dimensional compression with constant confining pressure

To study the energy storage and dissipation characteristics of deep rock under two-dimensional compression with constant confining pressure,the single cyclic loading-unloading two-dimensional compression tests were performed on granite specimens with two height-to-width(H/W)ratios under five confining pressures.Three energy density parameters(input energy density,elastic energy density and dissipated energy density)in the axial and lateral directions of granite specimens under different confining pressures were calculated using the area integral method.The experimental results show that,for the specimens with a specific H/W ratio,these three energy density parameters in the axial and lateral directions increase nonlinearly with the confining pressure as quadratic polynomial functions.Under constant confining pressure compression,the linear energy storage law of granite specimens in the axial and lateral directions was founded.Using the linear energy storage law in different directions,the elastic energy density in various directions(axial elastic energy density,lateral elastic energy density and total elastic energy density)of granite under any specific confining pressures can be calculated.When the H/W ratio varies from 1:1 to 2:1,the lateral compression energy storage coefficient increases and the corresponding axial compression energy storage coefficient decreases,while the total compression energy storage coefficient is almost independent of the H/W ratio.

Use of Wood Fibre Compost for the Cultivation of Trichoderma sp, （Isolate Td22）

The main objective of this research was to investigate the ability of a Trichoderma sp. （Td22）, inhibitory to Sclerotinia minor Jagger, to grow and survive in mature wood fibre waste （WFW） compost of paper mill origin following nutrient amendment. The growth and survival of the fungus in the WFW compost was assessed by serial dilution plate count method followed by confirmation of the fungal identity using pectic enzyme analysis as described in Cruickshank and Pitt [1]. It was found in this study that the population densities of TdE2 achieved under non-sterile conditions in the WFW compost following nutrient amendment was approximately in the range of 7.0 lOgl0 CFU/g dw - 8.5 log10 CFU/g dw after 28 days, depending on pre-treatment. The efficacy of this WFW compost-grown TdE2 for protection of lettuce from attack by S. minor was also demonstrated in glasshouse trials. This study indicates that cellulosic paper mill waste compost could provide an abundant low-cost growth medium for the large-scale cultivation of fungal antagonists, improving prospects for cost-competitiveness with chemical treatments.

Cultural study on trade disputes between China and the West

In recent years, China＇s international trade has made great actuevements, However, when carefully reviewing its performance in the international market, we have to admit a fact that ＂Chinese businessmen＂ and ＂Made in China＂ are encountering great challenges, even aversion in many foreign markets. The so-called ＂Yellow peril theory＂ and ＂China threat theory＂ have caught on once again. Faced with such frequent trade conflicts, we fall into contemplation. Why did trade conflicts so frequently happen？ Do these conflicts merely remain at the commercial level？ Or, are there any deep-seated conflicts leading to trade conflicts？ What are the root causes of these conflicts？ How to overcome and avoid these conflicts in the future？ With these questions, this paper is designed to inquire into the root cause of trade conflicts and the constructive suggestions to settle trade conflicts from a cultural perspective.

Modeling and Assessing a New Warship Maintenance System

The authors developed a prototype of a warship maintenance system. The process started by defining the maintenance requirements of warship equipment. Next, a planning scheme was development for a maintenance network. An optimization target for the plan and indexes for assessment were established. Based on the above work, a simulation model was proposed with two layers: a base and a workshop. Dispatching rules were then formulated for the simulation. Experimental results proved the validity of the model and the dispatching algorithm. It was found that the model can solve the capacity evaluation problem for maintenance systems and provides a scientific basis for decision-maker to make decisions regarding equipment maintenance.

Interactive Model Used in Maintenance Planning of Facades Based on Virtual Reality Technology

A virtual reality model was created in order to help in the maintenance of exterior closures and interior finishes of walls in a building. It allows the visual and interactive transmission of information related to the physical behavior of the elements, defined as a function of the time variable. To this end, the basic knowledge of material most often used in walls, anomaly surveillance, techniques of rehabilitation, and inspection planning were studied. This information was included in a database that supports the periodic inspection needed in a program of preventive maintenance. The results are obtained interactively and visualized in the virtual environment itself. This work brings an innovative contribution to the field of maintenance supported by emergent technology.

Dialectical thinking in engineering management

Modem engineering management activities have all become more complex, being far beyond the economic and technological areas, due to their growing grand scales, increasingly complex structures and integrated systems. Therefore, we need focus our attention on engineering management activities by resorting to dialectical thinking and take full account of them based on the height of the new era. This paper described and analyzed engineering management activities from the following 5 aspects ： the cyclic promotion between engineering management theory and engineering management practice, the in-depth integration of engineering management concepts with engineering management methods, the coordinated harmonization of engineering management system with engineering management details, the mutual promotion between engineering management standardization and engineering management innovation, the common enhancement between engineering management team and engineering management system.

Contribution of Lake Victoria Small-scale Fisheries to Poverty Alleviation： A Case Study of Tanzania Small-scale Fisheries

This paper has attempted to show the contribution of Lake Victoria small-scale fisheries to poverty alleviation. Two districts in Mwanza region in the Lake Victoria Zone were identified for a field research. The two districts are Sengerema and Ilemela. The results show that during high catch season both fishers and fishing gear owners generated high incomes, although gear owners were relatively far better than fishers. This was true for both Sardines and Nile perch fisheries. For instance, during high catch season, 39 sardine fishers each generated monthly income that ranged between $300 and $1,100, and 18 further fishers each generated income that was below $300. However, during low catch season, the incomes generated were very low for both fishers and gear owners to an extent of not even recovering the variable costs. The scenario was different with Nile perch fishers, out of 53 fishers that were sampled, 44 fishers each generated net monthly income that was below $400 during high catch season and during low catch season, 46 out of 53 fishers each generated net monthly income that was below $200. Fishers were the hardest hit during low catch season.
