Methods: Fifty patients with malignant SPNs (diameter -〈 3 cm) underwent multidetector-row computed tomography of the chest in a single-breath-hold technique. The raw data were acquired with a collimation of 0.625 mm. Three sets of contiguous images were reconstructed with 1-, 2-, and 5-ram slice thickness, respectively. The Iobulation sign of SPNs on the computed tomography (CT) images presented in 1-, 2-, and 5-ram slice thickness was compared. Using the 1-mm sections as the gold standard, an optimal slice thickness in revealing Iobulation sign of SPNs was determined. Results: The 1-mm-thick images CT revealed 98 Iobulations (25 with chord distance 〈 1 ram; 30 with chord distance 1-2 ram; 43 with chord distance 〉 2 mm) of 45 malignant SPNs. 18 Iobulations with chord distance 〈 1 mm presented in 2-mm-thick sections were as same as those in I-ram-thick sections. Statistically significant difference in Iobulations number was found between that revealed in 2-ram-thick images and that in I-ram-thick images (P = 0.023 〈 0.05). 16 Iobulations with chord distance 〈 1 mm presented in 5-mm-thick sections were as same as that in I-ram-thick sections. There was statistically significant difference in Iobulations number between that revealed in 5-mm-thick images and that in I-ram-thick images (P = 0.004 〈 0.05). The 24 Iobulations with chord distance 1-2 mm presented in 2-ram-thick sections were as same as that in 1-mm-thick sections. No statistically significant difference in Iobulations number were found between that revealed in 2-mm-thick images and that in 1-mm-thick images (P = 0.261 〉 0.05). 13 Iobulations with chord distance 1-2 mm presented in 5-ram-thick sections were as same as that in 1- mm-thick sections. There was statistically significant difference in Iobulations number between that revealed in 5-ram-thick images and that in I-ram-thick images (P = 0.003 〈 0.05). 40 Iobulations with chord distance 〉 2 mm presented in 2-ram-thick sections were as same as that in I-ram-thick sections. No statistically significant difference in Iobulations number was found between that revealed in 2-ram-thick images and that in I-ram-thick images (P = 0.631 〉 0.05). 36 Iobulations with chord distance 〉 2 mm presented in 5-mm-thick sections were as same as that in I-ram-thick sections. There was no statistically significant difference in Iobulations number between that revealed in 5-ram-thick images and that in I-ram-thick images (P = 0.264 〉 0.05). Conclusion: It is suggested that the use of 1-mm slice thickness is suitable in revealing Iobulations with chord distance 〈 1 ram. A 2-mm slice thickness is suggested to be used in revealing Iobulafions with chord distance 1-2 mm and 5-mm slice thickness to be used in revealing Iobulations with chord distance 〉 2 mm.展开更多

A total of 126 gilts/sows on commercial pig farm were allocated to either group of 61 sows supplemented with probiotic BioPlus 2B 400 g per ton or a non-supplemented control group of 65 sows from two weeks before farrowing to weaning. Microbiological contents of feed rations were analyzed. Data were statistically processed by MS Excel program package using methods for descriptive statistics, analysis of variance and t-test. Lactating sows supplemented with probiotic BioPlus 2B increased their feed intake. It reduced sows weight loss during lactation; weight loss was 40.4-44.8 kg in controls versus 18.0-23.0 kg in supplemented sows (p 〈 0.05). Insemination of sows was done 4-5 day after weaning. Repeated insemination was needed for more sows in control group-22 sows in the control group vs. 12 sows in the supplemented group (p 〈 0.05). Reduce percent of repeated insemination from 36% to 18.5% in a commercial pig farm is a notable effect. The number of weaned piglets/litter is not significantly different between control and supplemented groups (10.54 piglets versus 10.63, p 〉 0.05). Weaned litter weight was 85.2 kg in control group and 83.4 kg in the supplemented group (p 〉 0.05). It concludes that these are sound arguments to supplement all sows on commercial farm with BioPlus 2B.展开更多

The objective of this study is to assist medical practitioners in observing pregnant women to deliver their babies with normal weight. It is also assumed that pregnant women who delivered their babies in the clinic have been monitored during their nine-month pregnancy. Thus, they can manage their own pregnancy to deliver normal weight babies. The use of Statistical Process Control (SPC) tools, such as frequency histogram, probability plot, and the implementation of Shewhart, R, and S control charts as primary techniques, are presented to display the monitoring aspects of the process. In addition, Process Capability Analysis (PCA) is performed to ensure that the process outcomes are capable of meeting certain requirements or specifications. The Process Capability Ratio (PCR) for the process is also presented. This analysis is an essential part of an overall quality improvement program.展开更多

Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn concentrations were determined. Grain sizes, TOC (total organic carbon), carbonate, mineralogical and environmental data were also determined. Multiple linear regression is applied to the data from the sediment sequential extractions to assess the relative importance of mineralogical and sedimentological factors in controlling heavy metal concentrations in individual chemical fractions (exchangeable, reducible, oxidizable, residual) under different environmental conditions. The analysis shows that grain size, TOC, calcium carbonate and minerals clearly influence heavy metal concentrations. For the exchangeable fraction, clay, grain size and the mineral pyrite are the main factors, whereas for the reducible fraction, TOC is the main factor influencing concentrations ofZn, Pb, Ni, Cu and Cr. For the oxidizable fraction, modelling shows that TOC is the main factor influencing Zn, Ni, Cu, Cr and Co concentrations. The residual fraction concentrations of Zn, Ni, Cr and Co were best predicted by the abundance of sand, with sand content having a negative effect on heavy metal concentrations in this fraction. The statistical techniques in environmental data interpretation are quite useful in cutting down the volume of the data and identifying identical classes which are statistically distinct.展开更多

Objective criteria for choosing the most appropriate climate parameter(s) to be reconstructed at a specific site are thus lacking. Using a novel approach for testing the statistical significance of a quantitative reconstruction using random environmental data, in combination with the advantageous large environmental gradients, abundant vegetation types and comprehensive modem pollen databases in China, we describe a new procedure for pollen-based quantitative paleoclimatic reconstructions. First, the most significant environmental variable controlling the fossil pollen assemblage changes is identified. Second, a calibration set to infer changes in this targeted variable is built up, by limiting the modem ranges of other environmental variables. Finally, the pollen-based quantitative reconstruction is obtained and its statistical significance assessed. This novel procedure was used to reconstruct the mean annual precipitation (Pann) from Gonghai Lake in the Lvliang Mountains, and Tianchi Lake in the Liupan Mountains, on the eastern and western fringe of the Chinese Loess Plateau, respectively. Both Pann. reconstructions are statistically significant (p〈0.001), and a sound and stable correlation relationship exists in their common period, showing a rapid precipitation decrease since 3300 cal yr BP. Thus, we propose that this procedure has great potential for reducing the uncertainties associated with pollen-based quantitative paleoclimatic reconstructions in China.展开更多

This paper evaluates several typical latest space nuclear reactor system (SNRS) designs, and finds that most of their weights are heavier than necessary. From the point of weight-control, the SA4 design is the best but its design is more complex than others. A newly designed SNRS, based on the SAFE400 model, uses annular fuel and has better performance, with a fuel mass lower than that of the SAFE400 prototype by 18.75%. Meanwhile, different from former opinions, the delay neutron fractions of SNRS are not constant and change with the different SNRS designs. Therefore, designs of SNRS not to count the delayed neutron fracture or directly to consider it as 0.00677 are not appropriate.展开更多
