The average discriminant accuracies of the former and current silver and bighead carp population were 94.2% and 98.0%, respectively. Discriminant analysis also revealed that significant differences in morphology occurred between the former and current populations of both carp in overall characteristics. One-way analysis of variance indicated that between former and current populations, silver carp showed highly significant differences (P0.01) in twelve of their characteristics and significant differences (P0.05) in eight of their characteristics, while bighead carp showed highly significant differences (P0.01) in eight of their characteristics and significant differences (P0.05) in eight of their characteristics. Six head morphology variables of the current silver and bighead carp were significantly or highly significantly larger than the former populations; fourteen characteristics of silver carp and ten characteristics of bighead carp of the current populations, mainly reflecting truck and tail morphology, were significantly or very significantly smaller than the former populations. Our results indicate that silver and bighead carp have developed a larger head and smaller truck and tail during the last 50 years. Due to such morphological changes, it seems apparent that the heads of these fish species need to be considered in regards to human diets, particularly in relation to economic and nutritious value.展开更多

The effects of heat treatment of Mn-Cu precursors on alloy phase, morphology and composition of the resultant nanoporous copper were investigated. It is revealed that the compositions distribute homogeneously in the bulk Mn-Cu precursors, which consequently results in a more fully dealloying for forming nanoporous copper. The alloy phase changes from Cuo.a9Mno.51 and Cuo.21Mno.79 of non-thermally treated precursor to Cuo.33Mn0.67 of heat treated alloy. The residual Mn content in nanoporous copper is decreased from 12.97% to 2.04% (molar fraction) made from the precursor without and with 95 h heat treatment. The typical pore shape of nanoporous copper prepared by dealloying the precursor without the heat treatment is divided into two different zones: the uniform bi-continuous structure zone and the blurry or no pore structure zone. Nanoporous copper is of a uniform sponge-like morphology made from the heat-treated precursor, and the average ligament diameter is 40 nm, far smaller than that from the non-thermally treated precursor, in which the average ligament diameter is estimated to be about 70 nm.展开更多

In this study, Leonidov's work is located within its predominant architectural context, and his work is interpreted not only as a reaction against the domineering principles of classicism, but as an evolution and selective continuation of key concepts directly translated from architectural academism. The issues of the use of pure forms--a radical stance at odds with the commonly accepted morphologies of that era--associated with the principles of displaced symmetry, or disorder, are closely looked at and evaluated against both their architectural and political values within the context of post-revolutionary Russia. It is argued that the characteristic of weightlessness in his large-scale planning proposals is revelatory of a particular desire to invade space with political presence, thus demanding to reconsider the relation between space and architectural objects. Parallels are also drawn from French Revolutionary architecture, and from the work of Claude-Nicolas Ledoux in particular, whose search for purity and autonomy in architectural morphology preceded that of Soviet architecture. As Leonidov's legacy mainly consists of drawings of buildings that never got built, his influence can often be felt in the work of other architects which until today have drawn formal elements and compositional strategies from his relatively vast volume of un-built work.展开更多

Methods: Multiplex real-time PCR method was established to quantify the copy numbers of E2 and E6 genes (E2/E6) for analysis of the physical status of HPV-16 DNA and this assay was compared to Southern blot analysis. HPV-16-containing paraffin-embedded tissues including 49 CINs and 51 cervical squamous cancers were detected using the method. Results: (1) The cutoff ratio of E2/E6 to distinguish pure episomal from mixed HPV-16, was 0.81 in the multiplex real-time PCR; (2) The agreement rate between multiplex real-time PCR and Southern blot was 81.5% (the Kappa statistic was 0.844, P〈0.001); (3) HPV-16 DNA existed in an episomal form in 57.1% and mixed form in 42.9% of CIN I lesions; The concomitant form of HPV-16 (〉70%) constituted the majodty in CIN Ⅱ and CIN Ⅲ; HPV-16 DNA mostly integrated into the host chromosome (s) in squamous cervical cancers (68.6%); (4) The incidence of HPV-16 integration was increased with the degree of cervical lesions; (5) The frequency of pure integrated HPV-16 in stage Ⅱ+Ⅲ (88%) was significantly higher than that in stage Ⅰ (33.3%). Conclusion: (1) Mutiplex real-time PCR provides a rapid, sensitive and reliable method for clinic detection of the physical state of HPV-16 DNA; (2) The integration of the HPV-16 DNA is a very eady and important event in the progression from preinvasive to invasive cervical cancer; (3) The pure integrated status of HPV-16 in cervical cancer may be associated with poor prognosis of cervical cancer, but further study will be needed to prove its prognostic significance.展开更多
