Each subject was evaluated using the following:(1) the Minimal Mental State Examination;(2) the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression;(3) Clinical Global Impression-Severity scale(CGI-S); and(4) SPECT imaging with 3D-SSP.RESULTS The MMSE scores correlated significantly with the maximum Z-scores of AD-associated regions. CGI-S scores correlated significantly with the maximum Z-scores of depression-associated regions. Factor analysis identified three significant factors. Of these, Factor 1 could be interpreted as favouring a tendency for AD, Factor 2 as favouring a tendency for pseudo-dementia, and Factor 3 as favouring a depressive tendency.CONCLUSION We investigated whether these patients could be categorized as types: Type A(true AD), Type B(pseudodementia), Type C(occult AD), and Type D(true depression). The factor scores in factor analysis supported the validity of this classification. Our results suggest that SPECT with 3D-SSP is highly useful for distinguishing between depression and depressed mood in the early stage of AD.展开更多

A method of powder sintering with plate glass as the raw material and carbon black as the foaming agent was adopted to investigate the influences of foaming temperature, soaking time, moisture content in the release agent, and flame preheating temperature on the surface depression of a foam glass blank. The results indicated that insufficient cooling rate and rapid foaming process that could not react synergistically with the surface tension and viscosity of the glass melt aroused the mismatching between the glass melt and the expansion or contraction of gas, resulting in upper surface depression of foam glass. Besides, the batch carbon black at high temperature reacted with residual water in advance to generate large amounts of gas and form the air space which could expand inside, leading to lower surface depression of foam glass.展开更多

They have superficially simple features, but in fact contain abundant geo-logic and geodynamic in formation on basin evolution, which was rarely systematically studied.Based on the elaborate research on geologic characteristics of the stratigraphic unconformity sur-face between the Neogene and the Paleogene in the Jiyang depression, Bohai Bay basin, EasternChina, this paper reconstructed its formation process and paleotopography in the late Oligocene. ltis the most interesting that this stratigraphic uncon formity surface represents the transiton of theJiyang depression evolution from rifting extension to thermal down-warping and also implies an u-plift process during the transition. This paper thought it worthy to study the origin of thisstratigraphic uncohformity surface and its relation to the stage transition of basin evolution. ThenpossibIe influences of regional stress field and deep dynamic process variations on the stratigraphicunconforrnity surface formation were anaIyzed. The stratigraphic unconformity surface betweenthe Neogene and the Paleogene in the Jiyang depression should be the direct result of extremestretching of llthosphere and diapirism of hot upper mantle, which can also possibly explain the co-incidence of the unconformity surface formation with the stage transition of basin evolution. Fur-thermore. the influences of the stratigraphic unconformity surface formation on oil and gas accu-mulation, the erosion amount calculation, and the elaborate time structure recorded by thestratigraphic unconformity surface were discussed.展开更多

A 3D code to study the bubble dynamics is developed, and the calculation results agree well with the experimental data. Numerical analyses are carried out for the interaction between multiple bubbles near the free surface including in-phase and out-of-phase bubbles. The calculation result shows that the bubble period increases with the decrease of the distance between bubble centres because of the depression effect between multiple bubbles. The depression has no relationship with the free surface and it is more apparent for out-of-phase bubbles. There are great differences in dynamic behaviour between the in-phase bubbles and the out-of-phase bubbles due to the depression effect. Furthermore, the interaction among eight bubbles is simulated with a three-dlmensional model, and the evolving process and the relevant physical phenomena are presented. These phenomena can give a reference to the future work on the power of bubbles induced by multiple charges exploding simultaneously or continuously.展开更多

The inertial surface is composed of thin but uniform distribution of non-interacting material. In the mathematical analysis, the Fourier and Laplace transform techniques have been utilized to obtain the depressions of the inertial surface and the interface in the form of infinite integrals. For initial disturbances concentrated at a point, the inertial surface depression and the interface depression are evaluated asymptotically for large time and distance by using the method of stationary phase. They are also depicted graphically for two types of initial disturbances and appropriate conclusions are made.展开更多

The relations between active faults in the basement and surface structures are analyzed and the difference between sedimentary cover and basement in their deformation characteristics and the genesis are discussed. The following conclusions have been drawn: (1) the epicentral distribution indicates that, the east Qiulitag and south and north Qiulitag deep faults in the basement correspond to the east and west Qiulitag anticlines, respectively. Moreover, deep faults also exist beneath the Yiqiklik and Yaken anticlines. It indicates that the formation of surface structures is controlled by deep structures; (2) A NE-trending strike-slip fault develops along the line from the western termination of Yiqiklik structure to Dongqiu Well 5 and a NW-trending active fault on the western side of Baicheng. The two active faults across the tectonic strike are the main causes for tectonic segmentation of the Kuqa depression and possibly the cause for the middle segment (Kuqa-Baicheng) of the depression to be more shortened than both its eastern and western terminations; (3) The difference between the sedimentary cover and basement in their deformation characteristics depends mainly on the different properties of media between them. The lithospheric strength of the basement in the basin is fairly high, which determines the basement deformation to be mainly of brittle fracture——seismic activity. While the strength of sedimentary cover is low, where there exist weak thin layers, such as coal and gyps. Under the effect of strong tectonic compression, the sedimentary rocks may undergo strong viscous or plastic flow deformation; meanwhile, an aseismic detachment may take place along the weak layers.展开更多
