It is reported that number of chromosome and system of sex chromosome of haploid chromosome complement of these species is n=11A＋X （Y） in the first meiotic stage. However, the behavior of chromosomes among the species are different distinctly, thus cytotaxonomic character can be adopted to the identification among the three species.展开更多

The investigation into digital Jacquard textile design in the colorful mode is one form of research in digital Jacquard fabric design, which aimed at expanding past and present jacquard design and production methods towards innovative ends. In this paper, the design principles and design methods for unconventional digital Jacquard fabric design in colorful mode have been analyzed based on the new technologies and computer applied color theory. The results of this study will enhance further research in the area of digital textile.展开更多

Wood transportation in Greece is carried out, almost exclusively, by trucks. The aim of this study is to analyze the evolution of timber trucking in Greece through the analysis of wood transportation waybills. A total of 1,471 waybills have been collected and analyzed that cover the period 1981-2008 from nine of the most productive and representative forest districts in Greece, in terms of timber production. The final dataset included information on the type and technical characteristics of truck types, the transported wood quantities and haulage distances. Furthermore, data on the wood transportation cost for the year 2010 have been collected and analyzed. According to the results, the number of two-axle trucks that dominated in the 1980s is reducing rapidly, mostly to the benefit of larger three-axle and four-axle trucks. More than three quarters （77%） of wood transportation is conducted in the period June-October. Mean vehicle load per vehicle type differs between conifer and broadleaved species from 7.1% up to 23.9%. Transportation of stacked wood with semitrailers is conducted with overloaded trucks, which could entail serious problems for public safety and the condition of road network. New design standards will enhance serviceability of the wood transportation routes and environmental protection.展开更多

Anthocyanin concentration in sweet potato cvs Jishu 18 and Ayamurasaki increased steadily during storage root development stage. The accumulation rate in two genotypes peaked at 50 to 65 d after transplanting, and then declined rapidly. During storage root development of Ayamurasaki, the anthocyanin biosynthesis gene, IbCHS, was constitutively expressed, the genes IbF3H, IbDFR, IbANS were induced steadily, reaching a maximum at the later stage of root thickening, and IbPAL steadily decreased. Therefore, the mechanism of anthocyanin accumulation differed between the two cultivars, and anthocyanin biosynthesis was regulated through regulation of its synthetic enzymes.展开更多

Eligible randomized controlled trials（RCT） on angina pectoris were included. We conducted meta-analysis using the RevMan 5.1 software from The Cochrane Collaboration. We treated the relief rate of angina symptoms and electrocardiograph（ECG） as evaluation.RESULTS： Seven articles, including in 1134 patients, were enrolled after the evaluation. Therewas no significant heterogeneity among the studies（χ2=1.08, df=6, P=0.98, I2=0%）. The safflower yellow injection with conventional therapy has a higher effective rate than the control group in relieving the symptoms of angina pectoris [odds ratio（OR）=2.95, 95%（CI）（1.81, 4.81）] and improving ischemic ECG [OR=2.85, 95% CI（1.67, 4.86）]. The difference was statistically significant in the ＂80 mg dosage＂ and ＂100 mg dosage＂ subgroups（P0.05） for improving clinical symptoms and ECG. The funnel graphic was nearly symmetrical. Sensitivity analysis suggested that the results were stable.CONCLUSION： Safflower yellow injection as an adjunct therapy with conventional drugs shows advantages in easing the clinical symptoms of unstable angina and improving ECG over basic therapy alone. However, the conclusions should be interpreted with care until more high-quality RCTs are reported.展开更多
