METHODS: The MILLIPLEX? MAP Human Circulating Cancer Biomarker Magnetic Bead Panel 1 comprises the tumor markers carcinoembryonic antigen, alpha-fetoprotein, total prostate-specific antigen, cancer antigen 15-3, cancer antigen 19-9, cancer antigen 125, cytokeratine 19-fragment, β-human chorionic gonadotropin, human epididymis protein 4, osteopontin, prolactin, the cell death and angiogenesis markers soluble Fas, soluble Fas-ligand, tumor necrosis factor related apoptosisinducing ligand, vascular endothelial growth factor andthe immunological markers interleukin-6(IL-6), IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-α, transforming growth factor α, fibroblast growth factor-2, macrophage migration inhibitory factor, leptin, hepatocyte growth factor, and stem cell factor. We determined intra- and inter-assay imprecision as well as dilution linearity using quality controls and serum pools. Furthermore, the stability of the 24 biomarkers examined in this panel was ascertained by testing the influence of different storage temperatures and time span before centrifugation.RESULTS: For all markers measured in the synthetic internal quality controls, the intra-assay imprecision ranged between 2.26% and 9.41%, while for 20 of 24 measured markers in the physiological serum pools, it ranged between 1.68% and 12.87%. The inter-assay imprecision ranged between 1.48%-17.12% for 23 biomarkers in synthetic, and between 4.59%-23.88% for 18 biomarkers in physiological quality controls. Here, single markers with very low concentration levels had increased imprecision rates. Dilution linearity was acceptable(70%-130% recovery) for 20 biomarkers. Regarding pre-analytical influencing factors, most markers were stable if blood centrifugation was delayed or if serum was stored for up to 24 h at 4 ℃ and 25 ℃ after centrifugation. Comparable results were obtained in serum and plasma for most markers. However, great changes were observed for single markers.CONCLUSION: MILLIPLEX? MAP Human Circulating Cancer Biomarker Magnetic Bead Panel 1 assay is a stable and precise method for detection of most biomarkers included in the kit. However, single markers have to be interpreted with care.展开更多

文摘The Ni/SBA-15 catalysts were synthesized using the in situ method and the influence of crystallization temperature on nickel utilization efficiency-a critical factor in mesoporous material design-was systematically investigated.The structural characteristics and nickel anchoring capacity were analyzed using XRD,BET,FT-IR,H2-TPR,and ICP-OES.The results demonstrated that the crystallization temperature significantly affected the framework order of SBA-15 and the surface anchoring efficiency of Ni ions.The nickel utilization efficiency increased from 8.4%at 80℃ to 60.49%at 140℃,but then decreased to 47.25%at 160℃,indicating an optimal crystallization temperature window.This provides crucial guidance for tailoring high-performance metal-doped molecular sieves.The optimal catalyst exhibited excellent performance in the hydrogenation of 1,4-butynediol(BYD):the BYD conversion reached 97.25%with 88.99%selectivity of 1,4-butenediol(BED)within 5 h,and reached 99.73%with 87.34%selectivity of 1,4-butanediol(BDO)after 20 h reaction.These results revealed the critical role of crystallization temperature in metal utilization and provided theoretical support for designing highly active molecular sieve catalysts.
文摘In modern ZnO varistors,traditional aging mechanisms based on increased power consumption are no longer relevant due to reduced power consumption during DC aging.Prolonged exposure to both AC and DC voltages results in increased leakage current,decreased breakdown voltage,and lower nonlinearity,ultimately compromising their protective performance.To investigate the evolution in electrical properties during DC aging,this work developed a finite element model based on Voronoi networks and conducted accelerated aging tests on commercial varistors.Throughout the aging process,current-voltage characteristics and Schottky barrier parameters were measured and analyzed.The results indicate that when subjected to constant voltage,current flows through regions with larger grain sizes,forming discharge channels.As aging progresses,the current focus increases on these channels,leading to a decline in the varistor’s overall performance.Furthermore,analysis of the Schottky barrier parameters shows that the changes in electrical performance during aging are non-monotonic.These findings offer theoretical support for understanding the aging mechanisms and condition assessment of modern stable ZnO varistors.

文摘Quasi-periodic solutions with multiple base frequencies exhibit the feature of 2π-periodicity with respect to each of the hyper-time variables.However,it remains a challenge work,due to the lack of effective solution methods,to solve and track the quasi-periodic solutions with multiple base frequencies until now.In this work,a multi-steps variable-coefficient formulation is proposed,which provides a unified framework to enable either harmonic balance method or collocation method or finite difference method to solve quasi-periodic solutions with multiple base frequencies.For this purpose,a method of alternating U and S domain is also developed to efficiently evaluate the nonlinear force terms.Furthermore,a new robust phase condition is presented for all of the three methods to make them track the quasi-periodic solutions with prior unknown multiple base frequencies,while the stability of the quasi-periodic solutions is assessed by mean of Lyapunov exponents.The feasibility of the constructed methods under the above framework is verified by application to three nonlinear systems.

文摘This study presents an effective hybrid simulation approach for simulating broadband ground motion in complex near-fault locations.The approach utilizes a deterministic approach based on the spectral element method(SEM),which is used to simulate low-frequency ground motion(f<1 Hz)by incorporating an innovative efficient discontinuous Galerkin(DG)method for grid division to accurately model basin sedimentary layers at reduced costs.It also introduces a comprehensive hybrid source model for high-frequency random scattering and a nonlinear analysis module for basin sedimentary layers.Deterministic outcomes are combined with modified three-dimensional stochastic finite fault method(3D-EXSIM)simulations of high-frequency ground motion(f>1 Hz).A fourth-order Butterworth filter with zero phase shift is employed for time-domain filtering of low-and high-frequency time series at a crossover frequency of 1 Hz,merging the low and high-frequency ground motions into a broadband time series.Taking an Ms 6.8 Luding earthquake,as an example,this hybrid method was used for a rapid and efficient simulation analysis of broadband ground motion in the region.The accuracy and efficiency of this hybrid method were verified through comparisons with actually observed station data and empirical attenuation curves.Deterministic method simulation results revealed the effects of mountainous topography,basin effects,nonlinear effects within the basin’s sedimentary layers,and a coupling interaction between the basin and the mountains.The findings are consistent with similar studies,showing that near-fault sedimentary basins significantly focus and amplify strong ground motion,and the soil’s nonlinear behavior in the basin influences ground motion to varying extents at different distances from the fault.The mountainous topography impacts the basin’s response to ground motion,leading to barrier effects.This research provides a scientific foundation for seismic zoning,urban planning,and seismic design in nearfault mountain basin regions.

文摘This study investigates the influence of the elastic modulus(E)of the composite strata on the trough width coefficient(i).It is hypothesized that,in composite strata,the relationship between the trough width coefficient(i)and the stratum thickness(H)follows a piecewise linear trend.Specifically,within strata of identical elastic modulus(E),i exhibits a linear correlation with H,while variations in E affect the slope of this correlation.Building upon the non-iterative analytical method(NIAM)for evaluating tunnel excavation responses in composite strata,this study proposes two novel approaches:the crucial point method(CPM)and the standard curve method(SCM).These methods incorporate the elastic modulus into the estimation of i.The values of i obtained via NIAM and refined through CPM and SCM are validated against field data using the parameter K.The results are consistent with existing research findings,thereby confirming the reliability of the proposed methodology.Furthermore,the study investigates the relationship between tunnel depth(h0)and tunnel radius(R),and explores the interactions among the layer number of stratum(n),elastic modulus(E),and layer thickness(H).A reduction coefficient(η)is introduced to improve the model's accuracy.The proposed approach is applied to nine tunnel engineering cases,and comparisons with measured data demonstrate its accuracy and practical applicability.

文摘The study of mesoscale eddies is generally categorized in Eulerian or Lagrangian frameworks.We employed the eddy identification techniques in both frameworks in the South China Sea(SCS),examining the differential characteristics of mesoscale eddies ascertained through each approach,and attempting to identify factors influencing eddy lifetime.The findings suggest that eddies identified via the sea surface height(SSH)method in the Eulerian framework typically have larger spatial extents compared to those identified using the Lagrangian Average Vorticity Deviation(LAVD)method.The latter is characterized by a greater number of vortices with smaller average values of characteristic parameters.SSH eddies exhibited more remarked seasonal variations than LAVD vortices,and the seasonal variations of their respective cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies showed opposite trends.Analysis in both frameworks indicates that eddy lifetime is positively correlated with various eddy characteristic parameters,including radius,vorticity,kinetic energy,amplitude,EKE/MKE(ratio of boundary to spatial mean kinetic energy),and U/c(max rotation speed to mean propagation speed ratio).A subsequent comparison between SSH eddies with LAVD cores(SSH eddy with LAVD vortex inside)and those without reveals a greater likelihood of extended lifetime in the former.Compared to the characteristic parameters of eddies,the presence of LAVD cores emerges as a critical factor in determining the lifetime of SSH eddies.

文摘In this paper,we present a finite volume trigonometric weighted essentially non-oscillatory(TWENO)scheme to solve nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations that may exhibit non-smooth solutions.The present method is developed using the trigonometric scheme,which is based on zero,first,and second moments,and the direct discontinuous Galerkin(DDG)flux is used to discretize the diffusion term.Moreover,the DDG method directly applies the weak form of the parabolic equation to each computational cell,which can better capture the characteristics of the solution,especially the discontinuous solution.Meanwhile,the third-order TVD-Runge-Kutta method is applied for temporal discretization.Finally,the effectiveness and stability of the method constructed in this paper are evaluated through numerical tests.
文摘The article discusses the problem of studying the deep structures of the binary substance of the brain.The hypothesis of the dominant role of deep three-dimensional(material,energy,and informational)neural substrates of the brain substance functioning at the level of DNA calculus in the creative process is proved.The role of transcendence as a unique property of the brain,providing the search and comprehension of innovation,is substantiated.This term in philosophy characterizes something that is fundamentally inaccessible to empirical knowledge or is not based on experience.Transcendence,being a correlate of existence,is a prerequisite for the search,comprehension,and actualization of a new method(approach,technique)of art and the creation of a unique work.
