The novel detection scheme is based on the orthogonal projection technique. Both the case of known covariance matrix structure and the case of unknown covariance matrix structure are con-sidered. For the former case, the closed-form statistical pro-perty of the novel detectors is derived. When the covariance matrix is unknown, the corresponding detectors have higher probabilities of detection （PDs） than their natural competitors. Moreover, they ensure constant false alarm rate （CFAR） property.展开更多

METHODS: The study was designed as a prospective one from a tertiary referral hospital. Dyspeptic patients who were referred to our endoscopy unit for upper gas- trointestinal endoscopy between June 2003 and March 2004 and diagnosed to have DU or nonulcer dyspepsia (NUD) were included. Biopsies from the antrum and body of the stomach were taken in order to assess the current H pylori status by histology, rapid urease test and culture. Fasting sera were obtained from all patients and H pylori status of all sera was determined by IgG antibo- dies using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELI- SA) kit. All seropositive patients were further analysed using Western blot assays detecting IgG antibodies aga- inst CagA and VacA proteins. The χ2 test was used for statistical comparison of the values and age-sex adjusted multiple regression analysis was used to determine the independent effects of CagA and VacA seropositivities on the development of DU. RESULTS: Sixty-three patients with DU and 62 patients with NUD were eligible for the final analysis. Seropositi- vity for anti-CagA was detected in 51 of 62 (82%), andin 55 of 63 (87%) patients with NUD and DU, respec- tively (p = no significance), and seropositivity for anti- VacA was found in 25 of 62 (40% ) and in 16 of 63 (25%) patients, with NUD and DU, respectively. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that none of the- se virulence factors is associated with the development of DU in the studied Turkish patients with dyspepsia.展开更多

In order to reveal photosynthetic characters of elite inbred lines in different ears, a field experiment was conducted at the North China Plain of Shandong Province in China. Six parental lines of maize introduced in three eras(the 1960 s, 1980 s, and 2000 s) were investigated diurnal variation of gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, and photosynthetic response characteristic at the grain filling stage. Compared to earlier parental lines, the 2000 s parental lines always had higher net photosynthetic rate(Pn) throughout the day, especially at noon, and a mid-day depression in Pn did not occur in all hybrids parental lines. Moreover, the stomatal conductance(Gs) and water use efficiency(WUE) of the 2000 s’ lines showed higher value than those of the 1960 s’ and 1980 s’ lines. The inbred lines differences in photosynthetic parameters were partly owing to their different quantum carboxylation efficiencies and light synthase activities. Simultaneously, the 2000 s parental lines exhibited lower light and CO2 compensation points, and their higher apparent quantum yield, and carboxylation efficiency. These suggested that the modern parental lines required lower light intensity and less CO2 to maintain a relatively high photosynthetic capacity, substantially increasing leaf physical quality and stress resistance. It provided crucial information of high photo-efficiency and stress-resistance breeding in maize.展开更多
