During morphogenesis, three dorsal kinetics anlagen are primarily formed. Fragmentation of kinety 3 usually present, while sometimes secondarily lost. Dorsomarginal kineties are formed, while sometimes lost. Oxytrichids tend to have overlapping characters, e.g. cell shape and size, infraciliature, pellicle fea- tures. This makes a great problem for genera separation. In the present work, all typical 18 frontal-ventral-transverse-cirri Oxytrichi- dae s. 1. genera were revised systematically based on their living morphology, ciliature patterns and dorsal morphogenetic features. The outline of the genera, the schematic illustrations, and the key to typical 18 frontal-ventral-transverse-cirri genera of Oxytrichidae s. l. were clarified. Additionally, some morphological and morphogenetic patterns were summarized and compared.展开更多

Th...The aftershock activity of the May 12, 2008 Wenchuan Ms8.0 Earthquake Sequence shows an obvious segmented feature. Most of the large aftershocks were distributed in the north and south parts of the aftershock zone. Thrusting was dominant with a small amount of strike-slip component in the south part. The aftershock activity decayed gradually, presenting the sequence features of a mainshock-aftershock pattern. The north part was the ending area of the malnshock fracture where strike-slipping was dominant, showing an obvious swarm feature. Therefore it became the major area for large aftershocks. The modulation of the earth tide on aftershock activity is remarkable; most large aftershocks occur during the period of flood and neap tide. The time period around 16:00 was the dominant occurring time for large aftershocks. The p-value, a parameter of modified Omori formula, increases gradually with time, and reaches about 1 at the end. Based on previous study, the sequence patterns, magnitude of maximum aftershock, as well as the duration of aftershock activity has been discussed. The primary results also show that the magnitude difference between the maiushock and the maximum aftershock is proportional to the rupture size of the maiushock for huge earthquakes of about Ms8.0. This means that when the magnitudes of the earthquakes are nearly the same, large rupture size corresponds to sufficient energy release.展开更多

Entrepreneurship is a global world. It is not possible to think about economic driving force of technological development and scientific research. It materializes knowledge and involvement of people and society. Expansion of business activities is a source of individual country's economic performance. It contributes to the development of people's living standards. In every market economy, it represents an irreplaceable role for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). A strong representation of"micro-enterprises" can be found in the field of personal services. Companies within the course of their existence go through particular stages of their development--from their foundation through the stage of steady development. After this stage, there comes their decline that can develop even into their termination. We indicate this process as a company life cycle. The aim of the submitted project is to map the life cycle of particularly chosen companies providing accommodation and catering services and to find a mutual relation among observed quantities and their stable economic positions in the market. The analysis is based on the data of macro-economic character, the data about development of receipts in the sector, development of inflation, tempo of economic growth, and development of consumer prices. Out of a company, non-financial factors will also be considered. The core of the analysis is the stage of sustainable stability of the assessed companies. The point of the findings is revelation of the causes of risks of possible transition into the stage of termination due to the decline of services volume, decline of profitability, and long-lasting payment insolvency. The contribution of the project is to draw our attention to possible risks of critical situation development and to propose how to avoid them so that the company will not occur in financial straits. Achieved information could assist the company management to make relevant decisions.展开更多

Terms contour biotopes and contourobiont's communities were proposed. These habitats are populated by a great variety of organisms with numerical superiority of early stages of development of hydrobionts. Therefore, contour biotopes are responsible for the reproduction of many species of plants and animals, including commercialiy ~rnportant species of invertebrate and fish. But as a result of natural physical and chemical processes, the same habitats accumulate many substances that are harmful to living organisms, especially for early ontogenetic stages. So here formed main hotspots, critical ecological zones in seas and oceans, which need to be monitored in the first place. Understanding of the key role of contour biotopes and communities in marine ecological processes development is an ecological imperative. Making of ecological diagnoses, prediction of possible departures from the ecological norm and prevention of serious negative events in the marine environment needs special consideration of contour biotopes and their inhabitants, which are underestimated in traditional marine biological and ecological investigations.展开更多

Methods: Forty apoplexy cases were randomly allocated into four groups, 10 in each. Cases in group A were treated by needling the extensor muscle motor points. Cases in group B were treated by needling alternating extensor-flexor muscle motor points. Cases in group C were treated by needling Jianyu (LI 15), Binao (LI 14), Shousanli (LI 10) and Waiguan (TE 5). Cases in group D were treated by needling Jianyu (LI 15), Binao (LI 14), Shousanli (LI 10), Waiguan (TE 5), Chize (LU 5) and Neiguan (PC 6). The motor functions of affected upper limbs were evaluated on the surface electromyography (SEMG), Fugl-Meyer function scale and Barthel ADL (Activities of Daily Living) indexes. Results: Needling alternating extensor-flexor muscle motor points can significantly increase the peak value (MAX) of the upper limb SEMQ integrated electromyogram (IEMG), Fugl-Meyer motor function value and Barthel ADL indexes. Conclusion: Needling different points may produce different effects on wrist function following cerebral apoplexy. Needling alternating extensor-flexor muscle motor points can obtain an exact treatment effect.展开更多

Methods: A total of 70 eligible cases were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group according to the random number table. Patients in the observation group were treated with Governor Vessel-regulating and brain-unblocking acupuncture, whereas patients in the control group were treated with oral Escitalopram Oxalate tablet. The treatment lasted for 8 weeks. The Hamilton depression scale (HAMD), Montgomery Asberg depression rating scale (MADRS), and Barthel index (BI) were used to evaluate the patients' condition before, 4 weeks and 8 weeks after treatment respectively. In addition, adverse reactions were also recorded. Results: After 4 weeks of treatment, the HAMD and MADRS scores were significantly decreased in both groups (P〈0.05); and the BI scores were significantly increased in both groups (P〈0.05). There was no between-group statistical difference in HAMD score (P〉0.05); the MADRS score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P〈0.05) and the BI score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P〈0.05). After 8 weeks of treatment, there were no between-group statistical differences in all aspects (P〉0.05); however, the adverse reactions in the observation group were significantly less than those in the control group. Conclusion: The Governor Vessel-regulating and brain-unblocking acupuncture is safe and effective for post-stroke depression and can obtain similar efficacy as Escitalopram Oxalate tablet. In addition, it can fast alleviate core symptoms of depression and improve the activities of daily living (ADL) and has fewer adverse reactions.展开更多

Methods: A hundred and twenty patients with post-stroke spastic hemiplegia were divided into the treatment group and the control group randomly, 60 individuals in each group. Patients in the treatment group received Fu’s subcutaneous needling plus electroacupuncture treatments, while only elecroacupuncture treatment for those in the control group. Limbs spasticity, extremity motor function and activity of daily living (ADL) was respectively evaluated with Ashworth scale, simplified Fugl-Meyer motor function score and modified Barthel index (BI) before treatment and after 30-day treatment. Results: After treatment, Ashworth scale score, Fugl-Meyer motor function score and BI score in the treatment group were much higher than those in the control group (P0.05). Fu’s subcutaneous needling plus electroacupuncture can release spastic hemiplegia, and it is better than the control group. Conclusion: Fu’s subcutaneous needling plus electroacupuncture can release post-stroke spastic hemiplegia effectively.展开更多

The aberrant coordinate GSM*, where the X* axis is rotated 4° relative to GSM-X, was used to count the occurrence rate. The number ratio of earthward to tailward events was about 3:5. Moreover, the event occurrence rate distribution showed a clear dawn-dusk asymmetry distribution, with dusk-side events accounting for 57.98%. A superposed epoch analysis of the flux-rope events showed that earthward events had a shorter duration in the leading than in the trailing part. Earthward events also displayed a lower temperature and a lower flow speed than tailward events. We studied the relationship between the event occurrence rate and geomagnetic activity level even further. The occurrence rate of tailward flux-rope/TCR events increases with increasing AE-index, whereas earthward events occur mainly in the relatively quiet period of geomagnetic activity (AE - 100-300 nT). Flux-rope/TCR events identi- fied within a 10 mm time frame were treated as belonging to a single reconnection event. By comparing the occurrence rates of earthward and tailward events along X*, we estimated the most likely location of the near-Earth reconnection site as X* = -36RE.展开更多

One type is following the previous El Nifio event (La Nifia I); the other is following the previous neutral phase or developing La Nifia event (La Nifia II). Results show that TC genesis frequency in the WNP during TC peak season of La Nifia I is less than normal year, whereas it has no differ- ences from normal year during La Nifia II. The main reason is attributed to the different amplitude SSTA in the East Indian Ocean (EIO) and the western Pacific Ocean (WPO). Similar to the capacitor effect, strongly positive SSTA in the EIO-WPO during La Nifia I triggers an equatorial baroclinic Kelvin wave, which intensifies the easterly in the lower troposphere and weakens the East Asian summer monsoon, and thus the TC frequency decreased during La Nifia I. However, the easterly anomaly shows a weak response to the SSTA in the EIO-WPO during La Nifia II, and there is no significant change in the en- vironmental pattern over the WNP; so is TC frequency. The modulation of strong EIO-WPO SSTA on large-scale circulation over the WNP reduces the environmental barotropic energy conversion into synoptic-scale disturbances during La Nifia I, and also suppresses TC disturbances. The understanding of two different types of La Nifia events could help improve the seasonal prediction of TC activity in the WNP during La Nifia.展开更多

文摘Detailed information about the crustal structure is essential for better understanding the occurrence and mechanisms of earthquakes and volcanoes.Here we present a study of the upper crustal P-wave velocity structure of two seismically and volcanically active areas in northern Iran using the two-dimensional Pg travel time tomography method.The imaging results suggest low velocities in the upper crust beneath the Damavand and Sahand-Sabalan volcanic areas in the central and western parts of northern Iran,respectively.The upper crustal low velocities in these two areas roughly coincide with previously imaged low Pn velocity anomalies,suggesting that the Late Cenozoic volcanic activity was probably caused by the upwelling of hot materials from the mantle.The image feature of the Pg velocity structure beneath the Sahand-Sabalan volcanic area further indicates that the hot materials stored in the upper crust beneath Sahand may be larger in size than those stored beneath Sabalan.Comparison of the Pg velocity images with the earthquake distribution in north Iran suggests that earthquakes mainly occur at moderately low velocity or low to high velocity boundary areas instead of significantly low or high velocity regions.The anisotropy results show that the Pg wave fast direction is consistent with the GPS direction at high Pg velocity areas and the fast direction is inconsistent with the GPS direction but consistent with the strike direction of faults at low velocity areas.Our new upper crustal structural images provide the basic observation for better understanding of the regional seismicity and volcanism,and link the surface geological phenomena to deep crustal and mantle processes associated with the active tectonics in northern Iran.
