It is simplified with two normal situations: one situation involves one straight lane and one left-turn lane; the other situation involves two straight lanes and one left-turn lane. The results show that the capacity is mainly relative to signal cycle length, phase length, intersection layout and following time. With regard to the vehicles arrival rates, the optimal model is derived based on each phase's remaining time balance, and it is solved by Lagrange multipliers. Therefore, the calculation models of the optimal signal cycle length and phase lengths are derived and simplified. Compared to the existing models, the proposed model is more convenient and practical. Finally, a practical intersection is chosen and its signal cycles and phase lengths are calculated by the proposed model.展开更多

Most studies on Fox proteins are limited to cultured cells and rodent. The aim of the current study is to detect by immunohistrochemistry whether FoxO1, FoxO3a and FoxO4 proteins are localized in the stomach and intestine of the pig. The results showed that FoxO4 exists in the mucosa in all parts of the stomach and intestine; FoxO3a exists mainly in the lamina propria and muscularis of some parts. However, FoxOl is not detectable in all parts of the stomach and intestine. Collectively, the results of the present study indicate that there exists a distinct expression pattern of Fox proteins, and that FoxO4 is a primary forkhead transcriptional factor localized in the gastrointestinal tracts of the pig.展开更多

We consider two different defect structures around a spherical particle: disclination ring and point defect at the north or south pole of the particle. We calculate the free energy of these different defects in the elastic theory. It is pointed out that the total Frank free energy density can be divided into two parts. One is the distorted energy density of director field around the disclinations. The other is the free energy density of disclinations themselves, which is shown to be concentrated at the defect and to be topologically quantized in the unit of (k - k24)π/2. It is shown that in the presence of saddle-splay elasticity a dipole (radial and hyperbolic hedgehog) configuration that accompanies a particle with strong homeotropic anchoring takes the structure of a small disclination ring, not a point defect.展开更多

Based on the obtained nonisospectral linear eigenvalue problems (i.e. Lax pair), we construct the Darboux transformation for such a model to derive the optical soliton solutions. In addition, through the one- and two-soliton-like solutions, we graphically discuss the features of picosecond solitons in inhomogeneous optical fibers.展开更多

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) 7B 11 and 8H4 against Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotype A were produced by fusing SP2/0 myeloma cells with splenocyte from the mouse immunized with A/AV88. The microneutralization titer of the mAbs 7Bll and 8H4 were 1024 and 512, respectively. Both mAbs contain kappa light chainS, the mAbs were IgG1. In order to define the mAbs binding epitopes, the reactivity of these mAbs against A Type FMDV, were examined using indirect ELISA, the result showed that both mAbs reacted with A Type FMDV. These mAbs may be used for further vaccine studies, diagnostic methods, prophylaxis, etiological and immunological research on FMDV. Characterization of these ncindicated that prepared anti-FMDV A mAbs had no cross-reactivity with Swine Vesicular Disease (SVD) or FMDV O, Asial and C Type antigens. Their titers in abdomen liquor were 1:5×10^6 and 1:2×10^6, respectively. 7B 11 was found to be of subtype IgGb 8H4 was classified as IgG2b subtype. The mAbs prepared in this study, are specific for detection of FMDV serotype A, and is potentially useful for pen-side diagnosis.展开更多

The temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility measurements demonstrated that [Fem(3-Mepy)L2]BPh4 showed a gradual spin equilibrium between HS (high-spin) (S = 5/2) and LS (low-spin) (S = 1/2) states, [Fem(4-NH2py)L2]BPh4 showed a steep SCO (spin crossover) and [FeIH(2-Melm)L2]BPh4 was in the HS state even at 100 K. The single crystal X-ray analyses demonstrated that [FelH(4-NH2py)L2]BPh4 has an one-dimensional chain structure constructed by intermolecular hydrogen bonding between 4-amino group of 4-NH2py and methoxy oxygen of adjacent molecular-cation. The crystal structure of [FenI(3-Mepy)L2]BPh4 has no such intermolecular interaction and its SCO site behaves independently, and the crystal structure of [FeIII(2-Meim)L2]BPh4 has a NH...n interaction between imidazole group of 2-Meim of cation and a phenyl group of anion BPh4. The result demonstrates that the intermolecular hydrogen bonding affects SCO profile significantly.展开更多

The LWS uses the electric field intensity at the ground as a parameter to warn the possibility of lightning strikes. A planar shutter type electric field mill (EFM) with a rotating vane is studied to measure the electric field. From a calibration experiment, the sensitivity of the EFM was adjusted to 0.15 V/kV/m, and this covers the ranges from 200 V/m to 20 kV/m. Magnetic field waveform is detected by a crossed loop coil and an integral amplifier. Frequency bandwidth of the circuit ranges from 5 kHz to 1.2 MHz. The polarity of lightning discharges is discriminated by electric field component. After fixing the polarity, we can calculate the direction and distance of lightning discharge by the peak and the zero cross time of the detected magnetic field waveform.展开更多

With regard to the vehicles arrival rates, the optimal model is derived based on each phase's remaining time balance, and it is solved by Lagrange multipliers. Therefore, the calculation models of the optimal signal cycle length and phase lengths are derived and simplified. Compared to the existing models, the proposed model is more convenient and practical.
