A marine power plant (MPP) is the same section. In the present paper, the authors have tried to find the various reliability characteristics of an MPR A marine power plant which is a composition of two generators and in which one of them is located at the stern and another at the bow, both associated to the main switchboard (MSB). The distribution switchboards (DSB) receive power from the MSB through cables and their respective junctions. Given that arrangement, a working based transition state diagram has been generated. With the help of the Markov process, a number of intro-differential equations are formed and solved by Laplace transform. Various reliability characteristics are calculated and discussed with the help of graphs.展开更多

The results were treated with portrait analysis, standardization management, and ratio analysis with softwares.Results: Compared with the rats in the control group, (9.6)% (381 pieces in total) gene expression changed obviously in the rats in the degeneration group, among which, the gene expression quantities of 171 pieces increased significantly (r=the ratio of the degeneration group to the control group >(2.0)), 52 pieces of which had certain function. While the gene expression quantities of 211 pieces decreased significantly (r<(0.5)), 41 pieces of which had certain function.Conclusions: Gene chip technology can be used to analyze the gene expression profile of degenerated intervertebral disc of rats in parallel, in quantity and on a large scale, which helps to testify the representative genes and protein expression, and plays an important role in clarifying the pathogenesis of degenerated intervertebral disc.展开更多
