Flotation tests at different conditions were conducted in a single bubble flotation cell. The recovery of cassiterite was found to be affected by cassiterite particle and bubble size. A matching range, in which the best recovery can be obtained, was found between particle and bubble size. Collision, attachment, and detachment of the particle-bubble were observed and captured by a high-speed camera. Particle-bubble collision and attachment were analyzed with the use of particle-bubble interaction theory to obtain the experimental results. An attachment model was introduced and verified through the photos captured by the high-speed camera. A bridge role was observed between the bubbles and particles. Particle-bubble interaction was found to be affected by bubble size and particle size, which significantly influenced not only the collision and attachment behavior of the particles and bubbles but also the flotation recovery of fine cassiterite particles.展开更多

The corresponding electron attachment rate constants varied from 1.26×10-8 cm3/（molecules s） to 8.24×10-9 cm3/（molecules s） as the electric field changed from 200 V/cm to 500 V/cm. At a fixed electric field in the drift region, the attachment rate constants are also detected at different sample concentration. The ionmolecule reaction rate constants for the further reaction between Cl^- and CHCl3 are also detected, which indicates that the technique maybe becomes a new method to research the rate constants between ions and neural molecules. And the reaction rate constants between Cl- and CHCl3 are the first time detected using CD-IMS.展开更多

The vectors with and without MARs were transferred into tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L.) through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation procedure. GUS activity assays indicated that MARs could increase expression level of uidA gene. The mean GUS activity could be increased twofold as compared to that of transformants without MARs, and the highest GUS activity of transformant could reach tenfold. The correspondence between GUS activity and mRNA accumulation was positive and indicated that MARs could improve transcription of foreign gene.展开更多

Whereas clinically based reports on offspring of Holocaust survivors pointed to intergenerational transmission of traumatic experiences, more controlled studies did not find much psychopathology, except when second generation subjects were confronted with life-threatening situations. Recently, a number of studies have used attachment theory as a conceptual framework for exploring the intergenerational effects of traumatic experiences. The purpose of this study is to understand the way in which the process of trauma transmission can be investigated from an attachment perspective. The hypothesis is that the intergenerational transmission of the ＂shadow＂ of the Holocaust has weighed on the ＂second generation＂, through the mechanism of ＂frightening/frightened＂ responses given by the parent. Participants to the study, 26 Jewish Italian offspring of Concentration Camps survivors and 26 Jewish Italian offspring of Jewish parents who did not experience the Concentration Camps, were interviewed with the AAI （Adult Attachment Interview） in order to detect thought processes indicative of unresolved traumatic experiences. The distribution of the main classifications for the AAI for both the EG （experimental group） and the comparison groups did not show a significant difference between the two groups. Moreover the EG is not strongly ＂traumatized＂. These results are in-line with others similar researches. The data suggests that the presence of mediating factors may mitigate the trans-generational impact of trauma.展开更多

METHODS： ILK small interfering RNA （siRNA） was transfected into human gastric cancer BGC-823 cells and ILK expression was monitored by real-time quan- titative polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting analysis and immunocytochemistry. Cell attachment, proliferation, invasion, microfilament dynamics and the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） were also measured. Gastric cancer cells treated with ILK siRNA were subcutaneously transplanted into nude mice and tumor growth was assessed. RESULTS： Both ILK mRNA and protein levels were significantly down-regulated by ILK siRNA in human gastric cancer cells. This significantly inhibited cell attachment, proliferation and invasion. The knockdown of ILK also disturbed F-actin assembly and reduced VEGF secretion in conditioned medium by 40% （P 〈 0.05）. Four weeks after injection of ILK siRNA-transfected gastric cancer cells into nude mice, tumor volume and weight were significantly reduced compared with that of tumors induced by cells treated with non-silencing siRNA or by untreated cells （P 〈 0.05）. CONCLUSION： Targeting ILK with siRNA suppresses the growth of gastric cancer cells both in v/tro and /n vivo. ILK plays an important role in gastric cancer progression.展开更多

The nanorods were synthesized via a surfactant free, inexpensive hydrothermal route and considering ~30 nm nanoparticles as the seed. While maintaining a cubic phase throughout the process, complete transformation of Gd2O3nanoparticles to nanorods was found to occur at an elevated temperature (~180 oC) of the hydrothermal reaction. The elongated Gd2O3 nanostructures, as revealed from transmission electron microscopic imaging, possessed an average diameter of ~33 nm and an approximate length of 172 nm. From the kinetics of OA process, the activation energy of formation was estimated to be ~25 kJ/mole. The existence of defect mediated radia-tive emission was ascertained from the asymmetric broadening of luminescence spectra. The defect emission arising from the Gd2O3 nanorods was nearly 1.4 times stronger than that of nanoparticles. The morphological evolution and growth kinetics were discussed along with the luminescence and electron paramagnetic resonance features.展开更多

文摘The screening and identification of attachment genes is important to exploring the formation mechanism of biofilms at the gene level.It is helpful to the development of key culture technologies for aerobic granular sludge(AGS).In this study,genome-wide sequencing and gene editing were employed for the first time to investigate the effects and functions of attachment genes in AGS.With the help of whole-genome analysis,ten attachment genes were screened from thirteen genes,and the efficiency of gene screening was greatly improved.Then,two attachment genes were selected as examples to further confirm the gene functions by constructing gene-knockout recombinant mutants of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia;when the two attachment genes were knocked out,the attachment potential was reduced by 50.67%and 43.93%,respectively.The results provide a new theoretical principle and efficient method for the development of AGS from the perspective of attachment genes.
文摘Since the pioneering work by Panksepp et al,the neurobiological bases of attachment behavior have been closely linked with opioid neurotransmission.Candidate gene studies of adult individuals have shown that variation in the muopioid receptor gene(OPRM1)influences attachment behavior.Early maternal care and the A/A genotype of the A118G polymorphism interact in modulating levels of fearful attachment.Compared to their counterparts carrying the A/A genotype,individuals expressing the minor 118G allele show lower levels of avoidant attachment and experience more pleasure in social situations.Brain imaging research has strengthened the biological plausibility of candidate gene studies.The avoidance dimension of attachment correlates negatively with muopioid receptor availability in the thalamus and anterior cingulate cortex,as well as the frontal cortex,amygdala,and insula.Overall,findings from human studies combined with those from animal models suggest that research on the genetic bases of attachment should include the endogenous opioid system among the investigated variables.
文摘Background:Early adolescents become increasingly conscious of their body image,which can profoundly impact their mental health and well-being.In South Korea,societal pressures and expectations regarding physical appearance are particularly intense,making the study of body-esteem in Korean adolescents especially pertinent.This study explores the roles of self-esteem,peer attachment,and maternal attachments in shaping body-esteem among early adolescents.Methods:Structural equation modeling(SEM)was employed using data from 1326 Korean middle school students(Mean_(age)=13.32,SD=1.73).Results:The results revealed that self-esteem had a significantly positive effect on both peer attachment and maternal attachment.However,while peer attachment positively influenced body-esteem,maternal attachment did not have a significant direnct effect on body-esteem.Conclusions:These findings suggest that during early adolescence,peer relationships,rather than maternal bonds,play a more critical role in shaping body image.In a culture that emphasizes peer validation and societal beauty standards,peer relationships have a stronger impact on body-esteem.Interventions should focus on fostering supportive peer environments and enhancing self-esteem to promote positive body-esteem and mental health among adolescents.
文摘The question of the existence of long-term psychological effects of the Holocaust on the survivors and their offspring still keeps the scientific and clinical literature divided. Whereas clinically based reports on offspring of Holocaust survivors pointed to intergenerational transmission of traumatic experiences, more controlled studies did not find much psychopathology, except when second generation subjects were confronted with life-threatening situations. Recently, a number of studies have used attachment theory as a conceptual framework for exploring the intergenerational effects of traumatic experiences. The purpose of this study is to understand the way in which the process of trauma transmission can be investigated from an attachment perspective. The hypothesis is that the intergenerational transmission of the ＂shadow＂ of the Holocaust has weighed on the ＂second generation＂, through the mechanism of ＂frightening/frightened＂ responses given by the parent. Participants to the study, 26 Jewish Italian offspring of Concentration Camps survivors and 26 Jewish Italian offspring of Jewish parents who did not experience the Concentration Camps, were interviewed with the AAI （Adult Attachment Interview） in order to detect thought processes indicative of unresolved traumatic experiences. The distribution of the main classifications for the AAI for both the EG （experimental group） and the comparison groups did not show a significant difference between the two groups. Moreover the EG is not strongly ＂traumatized＂. These results are in-line with others similar researches. The data suggests that the presence of mediating factors may mitigate the trans-generational impact of trauma.

文摘Based on the problems caused by many oxygen-containing functional groups and poor floatability on the surface of low rank coal,the characteristics of low rank coal were analyzed systematically by means of scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD)and X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)techniques.The bubble-particle induction time was used to determine the characterization of the bubble-particle attachment,and the bubble-particle attachment of low rank coal modified by soaking the coal samples in an acid or alkaline solution was analyzed.The floatability of the modified coal surface was verified by flotation tests.The results show that the particle size of 0.125–0.074 mm of the coal sample exhibited better bubble-particle attachment characteristics.The small bubble,the larger approach velocity of bubble and the larger bubble deformation were more helpful to enhance the bubbleparticle attachment.For an acid solution,the smaller the p H was and the longer the soaking time was,the better the floatability of the coal sample and the higher the combustible material recovery were.The combustible material recovery of low rank coal was increased to 78.79%by soaking the sample in an acid solution of pH=0 for 180 min.On the contrary there was a best concentration for the alkaline solution.

文摘AIM： To investigate the effects of integrin-linked kinase （ILK） on gastric cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. METHODS： ILK small interfering RNA （siRNA） was transfected into human gastric cancer BGC-823 cells and ILK expression was monitored by real-time quan- titative polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting analysis and immunocytochemistry. Cell attachment, proliferation, invasion, microfilament dynamics and the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） were also measured. Gastric cancer cells treated with ILK siRNA were subcutaneously transplanted into nude mice and tumor growth was assessed. RESULTS： Both ILK mRNA and protein levels were significantly down-regulated by ILK siRNA in human gastric cancer cells. This significantly inhibited cell attachment, proliferation and invasion. The knockdown of ILK also disturbed F-actin assembly and reduced VEGF secretion in conditioned medium by 40% （P 〈 0.05）. Four weeks after injection of ILK siRNA-transfected gastric cancer cells into nude mice, tumor volume and weight were significantly reduced compared with that of tumors induced by cells treated with non-silencing siRNA or by untreated cells （P 〈 0.05）. CONCLUSION： Targeting ILK with siRNA suppresses the growth of gastric cancer cells both in v/tro and /n vivo. ILK plays an important role in gastric cancer progression.

文摘Herein, we demonstrated the oriented attachment (OA) driven formation and characterization of Gd2O3 nanorods. The nanorods were synthesized via a surfactant free, inexpensive hydrothermal route and considering ~30 nm nanoparticles as the seed. While maintaining a cubic phase throughout the process, complete transformation of Gd2O3nanoparticles to nanorods was found to occur at an elevated temperature (~180 oC) of the hydrothermal reaction. The elongated Gd2O3 nanostructures, as revealed from transmission electron microscopic imaging, possessed an average diameter of ~33 nm and an approximate length of 172 nm. From the kinetics of OA process, the activation energy of formation was estimated to be ~25 kJ/mole. The existence of defect mediated radia-tive emission was ascertained from the asymmetric broadening of luminescence spectra. The defect emission arising from the Gd2O3 nanorods was nearly 1.4 times stronger than that of nanoparticles. The morphological evolution and growth kinetics were discussed along with the luminescence and electron paramagnetic resonance features.
