For the iden- tification of development characteristics and geological significance of the reservoir space, FM1 logging, core observation, thin section analysis, X-ray diffraction, fluorescence microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, mercury porosimetry, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, atomic force microscopy, and conventional physical property testing were used to study the petrology and reservoir space of the Es3/3-Es1/4 shale in Dongying sag. The results suggest that the shale is rich in carbonate minerals. Phanero- crystalline stratiform and lamellar argillaceous limestone and calcareous claystone are the oil- and gas-bearing lithofacies. The oil in the micropores is mainly present as membranes and clots. The shale reservoir space has a network structure with veins, carbonate and clay minerals, and micropores among pyrite and the matrix. The results provide the geological framework for future shale oil and gas explora- tion in Dongying sag.展开更多

The physico-chemical properties of the zeolite were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM and TPD and then compared with the co-crystalline zeolite synthesized with a template. Analytical results indicated that they were similar in structure and composition. The influences ofpH value and Si/Al ratio on synthesis were studied. It was found that a high pH value or a low Si/AI ratio could provide better environment for mordenite (MOR) crystallization. The zeolites applied as catalysts in naphtha catalytic cracking for producing ethylene and propylene showed outstanding catalytic performance with the total yield of ethylene and propylene reaching 55 m%. The process could achieve most favorable efficiency when the catalyst contained 5 m% of MOR.展开更多

The proliferation, the capability of spherical cell formation, neoplasia, and the expression of ABCG2 mRNA of CD133+ CCSCs were observed after the CD133+ CCSCs were infected with LV-CD133shRNA. CD133 negative cells were isolated from EpCAMhigh CD44+ CCSCs with FACS, and the CD133 proteins in CD133- cells were detected with Western blot. RESULTS CD133+ CCSCs were isolated from EpCAMhigh CD44+ CCSCs using FACS, and they accounted for 89.2% in the stem cells. In the experimental group, after the CD133+ CCSCs were knocked down by LV-CD133shRNA RNAi, the growth pattern of the cells in the stem cell culture changed into adherent growth from suspended growth, and couldn't generate spherical cells. Results of MTT assay showed that the CD133+ CCSCs infected with LV-CD133shRNA grew slowly, compared to the cells in the control groups. There was a decrease in the cloning efficiency. The infected cells were transplanted into the BALB/c nude mice. During the observation, no neoplasia was found in the CD133+ cells infected with LV-CD133shRNA. The level of ABCG2 mRNA expression was lowered greatly (P 〈 0.01). CD133- cells were obtained from the EpCAMhigh CD44+ CCSCs using FACS, in which the expression of CD133 protein was positive. CONCLUSION CD133 retains the biological characteristics of the colon cancer stem cells.展开更多

This paper intends to explore the formation and material basis of Zhang Heng's scientific thought. It appears that the simple intention of "observing visions and distinguishing good fortune or misfortune"was his motivation to develop the seismoscope. Tracing its historical background,the authors proposed in this paper that the development of this seismoscope started around 128 A. D., and based on perceptual knowledge, two ideas about earthquakes came into being,i. e.,earthquake location could be judged according to the instrument shaking direction, and the earthquake and earth split were essentially different. In the instrument manufacture,Zhang Heng advocated a principle of "making utensils to imitate cosmos". By this principle,the following three problems were readily solved: the seismoscope imitated the response of the suspension system to earthquakes( i. e. natural seismoscope). Technically,the trigger mechanism of the latch was used for reference,and it recorded the physical evidence of earthquake occurrence by an ingenious way of a ball dropping from a dragon's mouth. The solution of these three key problems lead to the emergence of the seismoscope in 132 A. D. and the successful detection of an earthquake in 134 A. D. His invention deepened humanity's knowledge of natural laws, and promoted the development of science and technology in that time and later.展开更多

The presence of internal crystal defects is one of the main causes of hot-spot phenomenon in PV modules. Authors previously investigated the physical characteristics of hot-spot phenomenon referring to internal crystal defect. Based on it, a hot-spot detection method named as current-based SRC (self reverse current) detection method is developed. However, it becomes extraordinarily complicated to determine the defective cells under low illumination. In order to avoid this disadvantage, authors improve the SRC detection method by applying voltage. From the feasibility experiment results, it is confirmed that by calculating cell HSI (hotspots index) with voltage, the PV modules with defective cells can be prospectively excluded even under low illumination.展开更多

Methods Intravascular ultrasound(lVUS) was performed on 56 consecutively enrolled patients with ACS. Cytometric bead array for seven vascular factors(sPE,t-PA, MCP-1, IL-8,1L-6,sVCAM-1, and sCD40L) was measured by cytometry. The others biomarkers were tested by ELISA or biochemistry. Differences in bio-factors were compared between vulnerable plaque and non- vulnerable plaque groups, accte myocardial infarction (AMI) and ustable angina (UA) patients, and occurring plaque rupture. The relationship between the parameters of morphology and vascular factors was analyzed. Results There were positive correlations between sVCAM-lsPE, sVCAM-I-sCD40L, sCD40L-sPE, IL-6-ILS,ILS-MCP1, and MCPI-sVCAM-1; CRP (18.868±4.907mg/L vs 5.806±3.553 mg/L)and IL-6 (19.5 pg/ml [9.2 - 44.6 pg/ml]vs 5.3 pg/ml [2.3- 13.4 pg/ml])were elevated in the vulnerable plaque group(P 〈0.05). sCD40L(473.82± 126.11 vs 237.94± 34.78 pg/ml),sPE (107.21±39.90 vs 49.06 ±5.61ug/L) and MCP-1(132.42 ± 17.85 vs 127.17±13.27 pg/ml) were increased in the plaque rupture group(P 〈 0.05);There was correlation between tPA and plaque morphology(P 〈 0.05). Increases in sCD40L, MCP-1, sPE, and TC were independent factors for plaque rupture. Conclusions IL-6 and CRP may be biomarkers for vulnerable plaque and for diagnosis ofAMI, sCD40L, MCP-1 and sPE are potential markers when for plaque rupture patient present with severe ACS.展开更多

A novel structure of the AMZI filter using two PGCs before and after the AMZI region is proposed. With the needed free spectrum range (FSR) of 20 nm, the design and optimization of the device are performed using polymer SU-8 as the core and PMMA-GMA as the buffer. Though the insertion loss (IL) gets larger than that of the traditional AMZI filter, the FSR is nearly uniform as the expected period of 20 nm.展开更多
