Our results indicated that four of the 26 random primersproduced distinct and reproducible electrophoretic patterns which were genome-specific andcould distinguish different biotypes. This enabled us to derive a diagnostic profile, from whichwe constructed a molecular marker key for different biotypes. By the analysis of the data ofRAPD patterns, the genetic relationship was constructed with UPGMA (unweighted pair-groupmethod with arithmetical averages). Our experiments also concluded that RAPD was moresuccessful in variety identification than protein polymorphism analysis and serohematology for itstechnological simplicity and sensitivity.展开更多

Mothoda Patients who were diagnosed by the experts/rheumatologists as pSS during 1990-2002 from the Department of Rheumatology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital were retrospectively collected as experimental group. Patients who were diagnosed as non-pSS connective tissue diseases or non-connective tissue diseases served as control group. Those with a history of head-neck radiation, hepatitis C virus infection, AIDS, lymphoma, sarcoidosis, graft versus host disease (GVHD), and anti-acetylcholine drug use were exempted. Both groups were required to complete questionnaires about symptoms such as dry eyes and dry mouth, and complete the objective tests of keratoconjunctivitis and xerostomia including Schirmer test, corneal staining, unstimulated salivary flow, sialography, lower lip biopsy, and antinuclear antibodies (including anti-SSA/SSB antibodies) test. Results A total of 330 pSS patients were included in experimental group and 185 non-pSS patients in control group. The mean age of both groups matched (47.8 ± 10.9 years vs. 46.2±13.6 years, P 〉 0.05). The sensitivities of the criteria in pSS patients with lower lip biopsy and in pSS patients without lower lip biopsy were 89.2% and 87.2%, respectively; the overall sensitivity was 88.5%. The specificity was 97.3%. A total of 11.3% pSS patients with negative anti-SSA/SSB antibodies were diagnosed as pSS by lower lip biopsy. Coadwion The international classification criteria (2002) for pSS is feasible in Chinese patients. It has high sensitivity and specificity, and may serve as diagnosis criteria in routine clinical practice.展开更多

The microstructures of FeCoNi MEAs with different contents of Al and Sc were characterized and the strengthening mechanisms were discussed. The results show that FeCoNi MEA with a low content of Al has a face-centered cubic(FCC) structure. The yield strength increases linearly with the increase of Al content, which is largely caused by solid solution hardening. Further addition of Sc can promote the formation of a new phase in(FeCoNi)1-xAlx MEAs. A minor addition of Sc can significantly increase the yield strengths of(FeCoNi)1-xAlx MEAs with a low Al content and improve the compressive plasticity of(FeCoNi)1-xAlx MEAs with a high Al content.展开更多

The oriental varieties Kozarsko 541, Plovdiv 50 and Krumovgrad 17 from Bulgaria and Basma Xanthi 101 from Greece and their respective crosses with Basma Xanthi 101 were studied. The study was set up in 2014 and 2015 in experimental field of the Tobacco and Tobacco Products Institute, Plovdiv, using randomized block design with four replications. Common agricultural practices were applied during the growing season. The result indicated that in hybrid combination with parental varieties Kozarsko 541 and Plovdiv 50, except total dry weight, additive gene effects are important for traits height of plant and number of leaves. Height of plant and number of leaves are inherited partially dominant to parent with higher value and total dry weight inheritance was over dominant. In hybrid combination Krumovgrad 17 x Basma Xanthi 101, inheritance of the plant height and leaves number were over dominant type. Total dry weight is inherited partially dominant. In a word, prevailing mode for inheritance of plant hight and total dry weight was the over dominance and for number of leaves it was partial dominance. In sun-curing with yellowing stage, nicotine decreased and sugars increased in all tested varieties with a highest percentage in variety Kozarsko 541 (nicotine) and Krumovgrad 17 (sugars).展开更多

[Method] Calli of Xinluzao33(Gossypium hirsutum L.) were induced from seedling hypocotyl tissue by a range of DK and BK combinations. Embryogenic calli and embryos were induced on callus-inducing medium(CIM) without any hormones. Callus appearance and quality were compared to determine which medium was the optimal for callus induction. Embryogenesis ratio was calculated to determine which medium was the best for somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration. [Result] Callus induction rate was 100% in all the 12 hormone combinations.The calli were yellow or kelly, and their texture was loose or soft under low concentrations of DK combinations, green or white, variably compact under high concentrations of DK combinations. The calli induced by BK combinations were kelly or green, covering creamy white substance. The best medium for callus induction was DK6(0.05 mg/L 2, 4-D and 0.10 mg/L KT). Embryogenic calli were successfully induced from all the combinations. The efficiency of embryogenic callus induction,embryogenesis, and plantlet regeneration were significantly different among the 12 combinations. The result showed that the embryogenesis ratio was the highest in BK3 combination(0.50 mg/L IBA and 0.50 mg/L KT), 72.86% of embryogenic calli differentiated into somatic embryos after being cultured on CIM for 80 d, and80.93% of the somatic embryos finally regenerated into plants on SEM(somatic embryo induction medium). [Conclusion] These results indicate that hormone combination BK3(0.50 mg/LIBA and 0.50 mg/L KT) was the best medium for somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from Xinluzao33.展开更多

Based on the three frequencies of the BDS, three categories of combinations are developed: ionosphere-free combinations(i.e., those that eliminate the ionospheric effect), minimum-noise combinations(those that mitigate the effects of thermal noise and multiple paths), and troposphere-free combinations(those that mitigate tropospheric effects). Both the ionosphere-free and troposphere-free combinations can be expressed as planes, whereas the minimum-noise combinations can be expressed as a line. The relationships between these three categories of linear combinations are investigated from the perspective of geometry. The angle between the troposphere-free plane and ionosphere-free plane is small, while the angles between the troposphere-free plane and the minimum-noise line, and between the ionosphere-free plane and the minimum-noise line, are large. Specifically, the troposphere-free plane is orthogonal to the minimum-noise line. By introducing the concepts of lane number and integer ionosphere number, the characteristics of the long-wavelength integer combinations and ionosphere-free integer combinations are investigated. The analysis indicates that the longest wavelength that can be formed for integer combinations is 146.53 m, and the ionosphere-free integer combinations all have large noise amplification factors. The ionosphere-free integer combination with minimum noise amplification factor is(0, 62, 59). According to the lane number, integer ionosphere number, and noise amplification factor, optimal integer combinations with different characteristics are presented. For general short baselines and long baselines, three independent integer combinations are suggested.展开更多

Seeing that target functions axe usually outside the native spaces, and that one has to solve a large scaled system of linear equations to obtain combinatorial coefficients of interpolant functions, the authors first probe into some problems about interpolation with Gaussian radial functions. Then they construct quasi- interpolation operators by Gaussian radial function, and get the degrees of approximation. Moreover, they show the error relations between quasi-interpolation and interpolation when they have the same basis functions. Finally, the authors discuss the construction and approximation of the quasi-interpolant with a local support function.展开更多

Let Wp^r(B^d) be the usual Sobolev class of functions on the unit ball 54. We study the deviation from the radial function manifolds to WP^r(b^d). Our results show that the upper and lower bounds of approximation by a linear combination of radial functions are asymptotically identical. We also find that the radial function manifolds and ridge function manifolds generated by a linear combination of ridge functions possess the same rate of approximation.展开更多

Herein, a supergravity method is applied to prepare the graded entropic alloys Al-Zn-Li-Mg-Cu. Through carefully optimizing the experimental conditions, the graded microstructures and hardness values appear after the supergravity technique. The morphology of the alloy significantly changes from the bulk intermetallics to eutectic structures along the supergravity force direction, which results from the crushed and graded aluminum oxide combined with the extremelystrong force. The results show that with this supergravity method, a performance-enhanced alloy can potentially be achieved through the centrifugation in a short time span and thus it paves the way for designing and synthesizing entropic alloys with intriguing properties.展开更多

A special case of independent interest is the question of which positive elements can be written as a sum of finitely many projections. We focus on von Neumann Mgebras, on purely infinite simple C^*-algebras, and on their associated multiplier algebras.展开更多

Different from the traditional analysis method, FPM is based on the combination of the vector mechanics and numerical calculations. It models the analyzed domain composed of finite particles. Newton's second law is adopted to describe the motions of all particles. A convected material flame and explicit time integration for the solution procedure is also adopted in this method. By using the FPM, there is no need to solve any nonlinear equations, to calculate the stiffness matrix or equilibrium matrix, which is very helpful in the analysis of kinematically indeterminate structures. The basic formulations for the space bar are derived, following its solution procedures for bar assemblies. Three numerical examples are analyzed using the FPM. Results obtained from both the straight pretension cable and the suspension cable assembly show that the FPM can produce a more accurate analysis result. The motion simulation of the four-bar space assembly demonstrates the capability of this method in the analysis ofkinematically indeterminate structures.展开更多

Through specifying the state function of uncertainty-aversion, it utilizes the max-min method to derive the analytical solution of the model to study the effect of the time-varying, jumps, and Knight uncertainty of asset return process on dynamic portfolio choice and their interactions. Results of comparative analysis show: The time-varying results in positive or negative intertemporal hedging demand of portfolio, which depends on the coefficient of investor's risk aversion and the correlation coefficient between return shift and volatility shift; the jumps in asset return overall reduce investor's demand for the risky asset, which can be enhanced or weakened by the jumps in volatility; due to the existing of the Knight uncertainty, the investor avoids taking large position on risky asset, and the resulting is the improving of portfolio's steady and immunity. At last, an empirical study is done based on the samples of Shanghai Exchange Composite Index monthly return data from January 1997 to December 2009, which not only tests the theoretical analysis but also demonstrates that the proposed method in the paper is useful from the aspect of portfotio's equivalent utility.展开更多

However, the underlying mecha- nism of MHC evolution is still not fully understood. In this study, we investigated genetic variation of three classical MHC class I genes in the giant panda (Ailuropoda mela- noleuca) and tested for selection effect and recombination event across exonic and intronic sequences to understand maintenance mechanism of polymorphism at Aime-MHC class I genes. In total, we isolated 21 MHC class I haplotypes (exon 2-intron 2-exon 3) from 46 captive giant pandas, of which eight were for Aime-C, seven for Aime-I and six for Aime-L; however, we only identified six unique sequences from these haplotypes. The subsequent maximum-likeli- hood and Chi-square analyses both detected evidence of recombination acting on the 21 haplotypes. These results indicate that the giant panda still retains a relatively high adaptive variation at Aime-MHC-I genes, and that the intronic segments have been homogenized along evolu- tionary time by recombination and subsequent genetic drift.We calculated nucleotide substitution rates of the antigen- binding regions (exons 2 and 3) and the noncoding intron 2, and found two pieces of evidence supporting the presence of balancing selection in the giant panda: an excess of nonsynonymous over synonymous substitutions at the antigen-binding sites, and an obviously higher synonymous substitutions in the exons than nucleotide substitutions in the intron. Thus, this study reveals that balancing selection and recombination together shape the diversity pattern at Aime- MHC-I loci of the giant panda.展开更多

文摘[Objective] This study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration for an upland cotton cultivar Xinluzao33 under the induction of different hormone combinations and thus to determine the optimal hormone combination. [Method] Calli of Xinluzao33(Gossypium hirsutum L.) were induced from seedling hypocotyl tissue by a range of DK and BK combinations. Embryogenic calli and embryos were induced on callus-inducing medium(CIM) without any hormones. Callus appearance and quality were compared to determine which medium was the optimal for callus induction. Embryogenesis ratio was calculated to determine which medium was the best for somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration. [Result] Callus induction rate was 100% in all the 12 hormone combinations.The calli were yellow or kelly, and their texture was loose or soft under low concentrations of DK combinations, green or white, variably compact under high concentrations of DK combinations. The calli induced by BK combinations were kelly or green, covering creamy white substance. The best medium for callus induction was DK6(0.05 mg/L 2, 4-D and 0.10 mg/L KT). Embryogenic calli were successfully induced from all the combinations. The efficiency of embryogenic callus induction,embryogenesis, and plantlet regeneration were significantly different among the 12 combinations. The result showed that the embryogenesis ratio was the highest in BK3 combination(0.50 mg/L IBA and 0.50 mg/L KT), 72.86% of embryogenic calli differentiated into somatic embryos after being cultured on CIM for 80 d, and80.93% of the somatic embryos finally regenerated into plants on SEM(somatic embryo induction medium). [Conclusion] These results indicate that hormone combination BK3(0.50 mg/LIBA and 0.50 mg/L KT) was the best medium for somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from Xinluzao33.

文摘An investigation has been made on the models and characteristics of triple-frequency carrier-phase linear combinations for the Bei Dou Navigation Satellite System(BDS). Based on the three frequencies of the BDS, three categories of combinations are developed: ionosphere-free combinations(i.e., those that eliminate the ionospheric effect), minimum-noise combinations(those that mitigate the effects of thermal noise and multiple paths), and troposphere-free combinations(those that mitigate tropospheric effects). Both the ionosphere-free and troposphere-free combinations can be expressed as planes, whereas the minimum-noise combinations can be expressed as a line. The relationships between these three categories of linear combinations are investigated from the perspective of geometry. The angle between the troposphere-free plane and ionosphere-free plane is small, while the angles between the troposphere-free plane and the minimum-noise line, and between the ionosphere-free plane and the minimum-noise line, are large. Specifically, the troposphere-free plane is orthogonal to the minimum-noise line. By introducing the concepts of lane number and integer ionosphere number, the characteristics of the long-wavelength integer combinations and ionosphere-free integer combinations are investigated. The analysis indicates that the longest wavelength that can be formed for integer combinations is 146.53 m, and the ionosphere-free integer combinations all have large noise amplification factors. The ionosphere-free integer combination with minimum noise amplification factor is(0, 62, 59). According to the lane number, integer ionosphere number, and noise amplification factor, optimal integer combinations with different characteristics are presented. For general short baselines and long baselines, three independent integer combinations are suggested.

文摘Since the spherical Gaussian radial function is strictly positive definite, the authors use the linear combinations of translations of the Gaussian kernel to interpolate the scattered data on spheres in this article. Seeing that target functions axe usually outside the native spaces, and that one has to solve a large scaled system of linear equations to obtain combinatorial coefficients of interpolant functions, the authors first probe into some problems about interpolation with Gaussian radial functions. Then they construct quasi- interpolation operators by Gaussian radial function, and get the degrees of approximation. Moreover, they show the error relations between quasi-interpolation and interpolation when they have the same basis functions. Finally, the authors discuss the construction and approximation of the quasi-interpolant with a local support function.

文摘In this paper, we investigate the radial function manifolds generated by a linear combination of radial functions. Let Wp^r(B^d) be the usual Sobolev class of functions on the unit ball 54. We study the deviation from the radial function manifolds to WP^r(b^d). Our results show that the upper and lower bounds of approximation by a linear combination of radial functions are asymptotically identical. We also find that the radial function manifolds and ridge function manifolds generated by a linear combination of ridge functions possess the same rate of approximation.

文摘Investigating the microstructures and properties of gradient materials has been regarded as a promising way to accelerate the identification of optimal compositions for applications. Herein, a supergravity method is applied to prepare the graded entropic alloys Al-Zn-Li-Mg-Cu. Through carefully optimizing the experimental conditions, the graded microstructures and hardness values appear after the supergravity technique. The morphology of the alloy significantly changes from the bulk intermetallics to eutectic structures along the supergravity force direction, which results from the crushed and graded aluminum oxide combined with the extremelystrong force. The results show that with this supergravity method, a performance-enhanced alloy can potentially be achieved through the centrifugation in a short time span and thus it paves the way for designing and synthesizing entropic alloys with intriguing properties.
文摘We give an overview of the question: which positive elements in an operator algebra can be written as a linear combination of projections with positive coefficients. A special case of independent interest is the question of which positive elements can be written as a sum of finitely many projections. We focus on von Neumann Mgebras, on purely infinite simple C^*-algebras, and on their associated multiplier algebras.

文摘This study presents a structural analysis algorithm called the finite particle method (FPM) for kinematically indeterminate bar assemblies. Different from the traditional analysis method, FPM is based on the combination of the vector mechanics and numerical calculations. It models the analyzed domain composed of finite particles. Newton's second law is adopted to describe the motions of all particles. A convected material flame and explicit time integration for the solution procedure is also adopted in this method. By using the FPM, there is no need to solve any nonlinear equations, to calculate the stiffness matrix or equilibrium matrix, which is very helpful in the analysis of kinematically indeterminate structures. The basic formulations for the space bar are derived, following its solution procedures for bar assemblies. Three numerical examples are analyzed using the FPM. Results obtained from both the straight pretension cable and the suspension cable assembly show that the FPM can produce a more accurate analysis result. The motion simulation of the four-bar space assembly demonstrates the capability of this method in the analysis ofkinematically indeterminate structures.

文摘By introducing a stochastic element to the double-jump diffusion framework to measure the Knight uncertainty of asset return process, this paper builds the model of dynamic portfolio choice, which maximizes the expected utility of terminal portfolio wealth. Through specifying the state function of uncertainty-aversion, it utilizes the max-min method to derive the analytical solution of the model to study the effect of the time-varying, jumps, and Knight uncertainty of asset return process on dynamic portfolio choice and their interactions. Results of comparative analysis show: The time-varying results in positive or negative intertemporal hedging demand of portfolio, which depends on the coefficient of investor's risk aversion and the correlation coefficient between return shift and volatility shift; the jumps in asset return overall reduce investor's demand for the risky asset, which can be enhanced or weakened by the jumps in volatility; due to the existing of the Knight uncertainty, the investor avoids taking large position on risky asset, and the resulting is the improving of portfolio's steady and immunity. At last, an empirical study is done based on the samples of Shanghai Exchange Composite Index monthly return data from January 1997 to December 2009, which not only tests the theoretical analysis but also demonstrates that the proposed method in the paper is useful from the aspect of portfotio's equivalent utility.

文摘Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a family of highly polymorphic genes activating adaptive immunity in vertebrates. However, the underlying mecha- nism of MHC evolution is still not fully understood. In this study, we investigated genetic variation of three classical MHC class I genes in the giant panda (Ailuropoda mela- noleuca) and tested for selection effect and recombination event across exonic and intronic sequences to understand maintenance mechanism of polymorphism at Aime-MHC class I genes. In total, we isolated 21 MHC class I haplotypes (exon 2-intron 2-exon 3) from 46 captive giant pandas, of which eight were for Aime-C, seven for Aime-I and six for Aime-L; however, we only identified six unique sequences from these haplotypes. The subsequent maximum-likeli- hood and Chi-square analyses both detected evidence of recombination acting on the 21 haplotypes. These results indicate that the giant panda still retains a relatively high adaptive variation at Aime-MHC-I genes, and that the intronic segments have been homogenized along evolu- tionary time by recombination and subsequent genetic drift.We calculated nucleotide substitution rates of the antigen- binding regions (exons 2 and 3) and the noncoding intron 2, and found two pieces of evidence supporting the presence of balancing selection in the giant panda: an excess of nonsynonymous over synonymous substitutions at the antigen-binding sites, and an obviously higher synonymous substitutions in the exons than nucleotide substitutions in the intron. Thus, this study reveals that balancing selection and recombination together shape the diversity pattern at Aime- MHC-I loci of the giant panda.
