The initial equilibrium condition of the coupling system model is verified by nonlinear static analysis. The transient dynamic analysis method is proposed to analyze the variation law of dynamic response under cable or insulator rupture, and the dynamic response of structural elements next to the broken span is calculated. The results show that upper crossarm cable rupture has no effect on cable tension at adjacent suspension points, but it has a significant influence on tension in the insulator and the tower component of the upper crossarm next to the broken span. The peak tension in the conductor of the upper crossarm at the suspension point exceeds the design value under insulator rupture. Insulator rupture has no effect on the tower component of the upper crossarm, but it has a significant influence on insulator tension of the upper crossarm. Insulator rupture should be taken into account in the design of overhead transmission lines. The research results can provide a theoretical basis for the design of transmission lines.展开更多

For a period of 3 months, the content uniformity, storage stability and pharmacokinetics test in vivo of NS-GNDP were evaluated and compared with regular GNDP at room temperature. The results demonstrated that uniformity of dosage units of NS-GNDP was acceptable according to the criteria of Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2015 J. Physical stability of NS-GNDP was investigated systemically using photon correlation spectroscopy(PCS), zeta potential measurement, and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). There was a slight increase in particles and PI of HL-NS re-dispersed from NS-GNDP after storage for 3 months, compared with new formulated NS-GNDP, which indicated a good redispersibility of the NS-GNDP containing HL-NS after storage. Besides, chemical stability of NS-GNDP was studied and the results revealed that HPE and HPN degradation was less when compared with that of GNDP, providing more than 99% of drug residue after storage for 3 months. In the dissolution test in vitro, NS-GNDP remarkably exhibited an increased dissolution velocity compared with GNDP and no distinct dissolution difference existed within 3 months. The pharmacokinetic study showed that HPE and HPN in NS-GNDP exhibited a significant increase in AUC0–t, Cmax and decrease in Tmax when compared with regular GNDP. These results indicated that NS-GNDP possessed superiority with improved storage stability and increased dissolution rate and oral bioavailability.展开更多

To establish a rat chronic hypoxia model to be used in the evaluation of the therapeutic effects of the Qishen Yiqi Dropping Pill, Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into three groups： the control, model, and treatment groups （n - 10 per group）. The animals were housed in a plexiglass container. The control animals were under normal oxygen concentration and the model and treatment groups were exposed to air and nitrogen for 5 weeks. The rats in the treatment group were orally administered the Qishen Yiqi Dropping pill （35 mg-kg-1.d-1） for 5 weeks. After the treatment, the cardiac function and morphology were analyzed, and the expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor la （HIF-1a） were determined using Western blotting. Our results indicated that the cardiac function was impaired, cell apoptosis was enhanced, and HIF-1a expression was up-regulated in the model group, compared to the control group. These changes were ameliorated by the treatment with the Qishen Yiqi Dropping Pill. In conclusion, Qishen Yiqi Dropping pill can ameliorate myocardial injury induced by chronic hypoxia, improve cardiac function, and decrease myocardial cell apoptosis, which may provide a basis for its clinical use for the treatment of chronic cardiovascular diseases展开更多

Ginkgo biloba dropping pill(GBDP), a unique Chinese G. biloba leaf extract preparation, exhibits antioxidant and neuroprotective effects and has a potential as an alternative therapy for PD. Thus, the aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of GBDP in in vitro and in vivo PD models and to compare the chemical constituents and pharmacological activities of GBDP and the G. biloba extract EGb 761. Using liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry, 46 GBDP constituents were identified. Principal component analysis identified differences in the chemical profiles of GBDP and EGb 761. A quantitative analysis of 12 constituents showed that GBDP had higher levels of several flavonoids and terpene trilactones than EGb 761, whereas EGb 761 had higher levels of organic acids.Moreover, we found that GBDP prevented 6-hydroxydopamine-induced dopaminergic neuron loss in zebrafish and improved cognitive impairment and neuronal damage in methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-induced PD mice. Although similar effects were observed after EGb 761 treatment,the neuroprotective effects were greater after GBDP treatment on several endpoints. In addition, in vitro results suggested that the Akt/GSK3β pathway may be involved in the neuroprotective effects of GBDP.These findings demonstrated that GBDP have potential neuroprotective effects in the treatment of PD.展开更多

In a number of cases, however, the levels of these OCPs were found to be unchanging or even increasing after the ban. With the aim to unveil the possible causes of these exceptions, we collected two lake cores from King George Island, West Antarctica, and determined their accumulation flux profiles and temporal trends of these OCPs. In the lake core sediments with glacier meltwater input, the accumulation flux of DDT shows an abnormal peak around 1980s in addition to the expected one in 1960s. In the lake core sediments without glacier meltwater input, the accumulation flux of DDT shows a gradual decline trend after the peak in 1960s. This striking difference in the DDT flux profiles between the two lake cores is most likely caused by the regional climate warming and the resulted discharge of the DDT stored in the Antarctic ice cap into the lakes in the Antarctic glacier frontier. Furthermore, to investigate the change of OCPs loadings in the Antarctic coastal ecosystem, we reconstructed the HCH and DDT concentration profiles in penguin droppings and observed a gradual increase for the former and a continuous decrease for the latter during the past 50 years. The increase of HCH seems to be due to the regional warming from the early 1970s and the resulted HCH discharge to the coastal ecosystem by glaciers＇ meltwater and the illegal use of HCH in the Southern Hemisphere in the recent decade. The different temporal trends of HCH and DDT accumulation rate in the lake core with glacier meltwater input and the aged penguin droppings can be explained by their different water-soluble property.展开更多

The concentrations of some chemical elements in Y2 lake sediments were analyzed. According to comparative research on elementary characters of sediments in Antarctic West Lake, fresh penguin dropping as well as guano soil on the Ardley Island and Pacific Island in South China Sea, it presents that the Y2 lake sediments were ameliorated by penguin dropping. The result of element cluster analysis shows that the type elements in the sediment impacted by penguin dropping include Sr,F,S,P,Ca,Se,Cu,Zn and Ba. This can provide a base for further interpreting the climatic and environmental event recorded in the sediment.展开更多

The results show that when the solution temperature is about 20 ℃, all the selected wetting agents are effective to most dust samples, but the effect is different. Wetting agents are more effective to the dust which is difficult to be wetted. Wetting agent solution with sodium sulfate can improve the wetting ability of sulfide dust. For sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, the suitable concentration of sodium sulfate is 12 mmol/L. The cost of wetting agents can be reduced because the sodium sulfate is much cheaper than many surfactants. Since the dust of sulfide ores is composed of various minerals and elements, the whole effect of depressing dust should be considered while innovating a wetting agent.展开更多

Because the rocking of the nipper shaft makes the nippers move backward and forward through a series of links, the original position of nipper frame is altered when changing the dropping scales, the other parameters of combing are changed accordingly. In this paper, the timing of opening-closing on nipper, the timing of cylinder’s combing, the timing of detaching-lapping and variation of nip pressure are calculated and their effects on combing are analyzed in different dropping scales on E7/6 comber.展开更多

We consider a scenario where conversational and streaming videos share the forwarding resources at a network node. Two buffers are setup on the node to temporarily store the packets for these two types of video applications. For streaming video, a big buffer is used as the associated delay constraint of the application is moderate and a very small buffer is used for conversational video to ensure that the forwarding delay of every packet is limited. A scheduler is located behind these two buffers that dynamically assigns transmission slots on the outgoing link to the two buffers. Rate-distortion side information is used to perform RD-optimized frame dropping in case of node overload. Sharing the data rate on the outgoing link between the con- versational and the streaming videos is done either based on the fullness of the two associated buffers or on the mean incoming rates of the respective videos. Simulation results showed that our proposed RD-optimized frame dropping and scheduling ap- proach provides significant improvements in performance over the popular priority-based random dropping (PRD) technique.展开更多

Depending on the place that the observer is put in the system, the network control systems with packet dropping are modeled as stochastic systems with the random variables satisfying the Bernoulli random binary distribution. The observer-based controller is designed to stabilize the networked system in the sense of mean square, and the prescribed H∞ disturbance attenuation level is achieved. The controller design problem is formulated as the feasibility of the convex optimization problem, which can be solved by a linear matrix inequality （LMI） approach. Numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.展开更多

In the dropping method, melted Si droplets were instilled at decompression state (0.5×105 Pa) to reduce crystal growth rate, dominating crystal quality such as dislocation density in crystal grains. Spherical Si solar cells were fabricated using the spherical Si crystals with a diameter of 1 mm and then mounted on a reflector cup. The current-voltage measurement of the solar cell shows an energy conversion efficiency of 11.1% (short-circuit current density (Jsc): 24.7 mA·cm-2, open-circuit voltage: 601 mV, fill factor: 74.6%). Minority carrier diffusion length determined by surface photovoltage method was 98 μm. This value can be enhanced by the improvement of crystal quality of spherical Si crystals. These results demonstrate that spherical Si crystals fabricated by the dropping method has a great potential for substrate material of high-efficiency and low-cost solar cells.展开更多

METHODS The prescription was selected by orthogonal design method and the effect of the option and ratio of ground substance,the temperature of drug. The hardness,circular degree,the tail formation and the dissolution time were studied. Totally 40 KM mice were randomly divided into control group,model group,gingerol dropping pill group(400 mg·kg^(-1)·d^(-1)) and positive control group(bifendate,150 mg·kg^(-1)·d^(-1)) of 10 mice each. The mice from the model and two drug groups were administrated with liqueur[0.15 mL/(10 g·d)]daily by gavage for 3 weeks,Two hours later,drug group mice were treated corresponding gingerol dropping pill and bifendate. Meanwhile,the control group were gavaged same amount of normal saline. Finally,when the model of acute alcoholic liver injury was established on the 22 stday,Biochemical indicators of ocular blood in mice were observed.We also observed the change of liver morphology. RESULTS Under optimum conditions,we can obtain dropping pills having circular shape,touching with hardness and short dissolution time. Compared with the control group,the levels of alanine transaminase(ALT),glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase(AST) and malondialdehyde(MDA) in model group were obviously increased(P<0.01),While the activity of Superoxide dismutase(SOD) were decreased. In addition,In model group,mice liver disorders,hepatic lobule fusion,accompanying a large number of patchy sample liver cell vacuoles,various sizes of fat vacuoles appeared in cytoplasm and inflammatory cell infiltration were visible around the central vein. On the contrary,compared with the model group,drug groups attenuated or even reversed hepatic pathological changes. Form gingerol dropping pill group,an increase in hepatic SOD activity and serum ALT and AST activities were found and a significant decrease in hepatic MDA content were also observed(P<0.01). CONCLUSION The prescription of gingerol dropping pills was reasonable,and the preparation process was simple. Gingerol dropping pills can protect liver from alcoholic liver injury to some extend,and the mechanism may be related to its antioxidant effect.展开更多

One of the malicious behaviors of these peers is malicious packet dropping. In this paper, our focus is to detect and to exclude peers that misbehave by dropping some or all packets. Here, we propose a reputation-based mechanism for solving the problem efficiently. The proposed mechanism uses both direct reputation information and indirect reputation information to compute comprehensive reputation of a peer. At the same time, history reputation information is also taken into account to provide faults tolerance capability and we regulate the imprecision based on the fact that the cause of packet dropping can be complex. Finally, the peers with bad comprehensive reputation can be detected easily and then will be excluded from the network. In this way, our proposed mechanism improves the per- formance of P2P networks without increasing computational overhead.展开更多

文摘In order to study the dynamic response of high-voltage transmission lines under mechanical failure, a finite element model of a domestic 500-kV high-voltage transmission line system is established. The initial equilibrium condition of the coupling system model is verified by nonlinear static analysis. The transient dynamic analysis method is proposed to analyze the variation law of dynamic response under cable or insulator rupture, and the dynamic response of structural elements next to the broken span is calculated. The results show that upper crossarm cable rupture has no effect on cable tension at adjacent suspension points, but it has a significant influence on tension in the insulator and the tower component of the upper crossarm next to the broken span. The peak tension in the conductor of the upper crossarm at the suspension point exceeds the design value under insulator rupture. Insulator rupture has no effect on the tower component of the upper crossarm, but it has a significant influence on insulator tension of the upper crossarm. Insulator rupture should be taken into account in the design of overhead transmission lines. The research results can provide a theoretical basis for the design of transmission lines.

文摘The present study was designed to improve storage stability and oral bioavailability of Ganneng dropping pills(GNDP) by transforming lignans of Herpetospermum caudigerum(HL) composed of herpetrione(HPE) and herpetin(HPN) into nanosuspension(HL-NS), the main active ingredient of GNDP, HL-NS was prepared by high pressure homogenization and lyophilized to transform into solid nanoparticles(HL nanoparticles), and then the formulated HL nanoparticles were perfused into matrix to obtain NS-GNDP by melting method. For a period of 3 months, the content uniformity, storage stability and pharmacokinetics test in vivo of NS-GNDP were evaluated and compared with regular GNDP at room temperature. The results demonstrated that uniformity of dosage units of NS-GNDP was acceptable according to the criteria of Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2015 J. Physical stability of NS-GNDP was investigated systemically using photon correlation spectroscopy(PCS), zeta potential measurement, and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). There was a slight increase in particles and PI of HL-NS re-dispersed from NS-GNDP after storage for 3 months, compared with new formulated NS-GNDP, which indicated a good redispersibility of the NS-GNDP containing HL-NS after storage. Besides, chemical stability of NS-GNDP was studied and the results revealed that HPE and HPN degradation was less when compared with that of GNDP, providing more than 99% of drug residue after storage for 3 months. In the dissolution test in vitro, NS-GNDP remarkably exhibited an increased dissolution velocity compared with GNDP and no distinct dissolution difference existed within 3 months. The pharmacokinetic study showed that HPE and HPN in NS-GNDP exhibited a significant increase in AUC0–t, Cmax and decrease in Tmax when compared with regular GNDP. These results indicated that NS-GNDP possessed superiority with improved storage stability and increased dissolution rate and oral bioavailability.

文摘Background:High on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity could be partially explained by loss-of-function alleles of CYP2 C19,the enzyme that converts clopidogrel into its active form.Shexiang Tongxin Dropping Pill(STDP)is a traditional Chinese medicine to treat angina pectoris.STDP has been shown to improve blood flow in patients with slow coronary flow and attenuate atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.However,whether STDP can affect platelet function remains unknown.Objective:The purpose of this study is to examine the potential effects of STDP on platelet function in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)for unstable angina.The interaction between the effects of STDP with polymorphisms of CYP2 C19 was also investigated.Design,participants and intervention:This was a single-center,randomized controlled trial in patients undergoing elective PCI for unstable angina.Eligible subjects were randomized to receive STDP(210 mg per day)plus dual antiplatelet therapy(DAPT)with clopidogrel and aspirin or DAPT alone.Main outcome measures:The primary outcome was platelet function,reflected by adenosine diphosphate(ADP)-induced platelet aggregation and platelet microparticles(PMPs).The secondary outcomes were major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs)including recurrent ischemia or myocardial infarction,repeat PCI and cardiac death;blood biomarkers for myocardial injury including creatine kinase-MB isoenzyme(CK-MB)and high-sensitive troponin I(hs Tn I);and biomarkers for inflammation including intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1),vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(VCAM-1),monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1)and galectin-3.Results:A total of 118 subjects(mean age:[66.8±8.9]years;male:59.8%)were included into analysis:58 in the control group and 60 in the STDP group.CYP2 C19 genotype distribution was comparable between the 2 groups.In comparison to the control group,the STDP group had significantly lower CKMB(P<0.05)but similar hs Tn I(P>0.05)at 24 h after PCI,lower ICAM-1,VCAM-1,MCP-1 and galectin-3 at 3 months(all P<0.05)but not at 7 days after PCI(P>0.05).At 3 months,the STDP group had lower PMP number([42.9±37.3]vs.[67.8±53.1]counts/μL in the control group,P=0.05).Subgroup analysis showed that STDP increased percentage inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation only in slow metabolizers(66.0%±20.8%in STDP group vs.36.0%±28.1%in the control group,P<0.05),but not in intermediate or fast metabolizers.The rate of MACEs during the 3-month follow-up did not differ between the two groups.Conclusion:STDP produced antiplatelet,anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective effects.Subgroup analysis indicated that STDP inhibited residual platelet reactivity in slow metabolizers only.
文摘The present study was designed to determine the effects of a traditional Chinese medicine, called Qishen Yiqi Dropping Pill on chronic hypoxia-induced myocardial injury. To establish a rat chronic hypoxia model to be used in the evaluation of the therapeutic effects of the Qishen Yiqi Dropping Pill, Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into three groups： the control, model, and treatment groups （n - 10 per group）. The animals were housed in a plexiglass container. The control animals were under normal oxygen concentration and the model and treatment groups were exposed to air and nitrogen for 5 weeks. The rats in the treatment group were orally administered the Qishen Yiqi Dropping pill （35 mg-kg-1.d-1） for 5 weeks. After the treatment, the cardiac function and morphology were analyzed, and the expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor la （HIF-1a） were determined using Western blotting. Our results indicated that the cardiac function was impaired, cell apoptosis was enhanced, and HIF-1a expression was up-regulated in the model group, compared to the control group. These changes were ameliorated by the treatment with the Qishen Yiqi Dropping Pill. In conclusion, Qishen Yiqi Dropping pill can ameliorate myocardial injury induced by chronic hypoxia, improve cardiac function, and decrease myocardial cell apoptosis, which may provide a basis for its clinical use for the treatment of chronic cardiovascular diseases

文摘Parkinson's disease(PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the world;however,it lacks effective and safe treatments. Ginkgo biloba dropping pill(GBDP), a unique Chinese G. biloba leaf extract preparation, exhibits antioxidant and neuroprotective effects and has a potential as an alternative therapy for PD. Thus, the aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of GBDP in in vitro and in vivo PD models and to compare the chemical constituents and pharmacological activities of GBDP and the G. biloba extract EGb 761. Using liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry, 46 GBDP constituents were identified. Principal component analysis identified differences in the chemical profiles of GBDP and EGb 761. A quantitative analysis of 12 constituents showed that GBDP had higher levels of several flavonoids and terpene trilactones than EGb 761, whereas EGb 761 had higher levels of organic acids.Moreover, we found that GBDP prevented 6-hydroxydopamine-induced dopaminergic neuron loss in zebrafish and improved cognitive impairment and neuronal damage in methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-induced PD mice. Although similar effects were observed after EGb 761 treatment,the neuroprotective effects were greater after GBDP treatment on several endpoints. In addition, in vitro results suggested that the Akt/GSK3β pathway may be involved in the neuroprotective effects of GBDP.These findings demonstrated that GBDP have potential neuroprotective effects in the treatment of PD.
文摘Since the ban on the use of organochlorine pesticides （OCPs） such as dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane （DDT） and hexachlorocyclohexane（HCH） in agriculture, their levels have generally dropped. In a number of cases, however, the levels of these OCPs were found to be unchanging or even increasing after the ban. With the aim to unveil the possible causes of these exceptions, we collected two lake cores from King George Island, West Antarctica, and determined their accumulation flux profiles and temporal trends of these OCPs. In the lake core sediments with glacier meltwater input, the accumulation flux of DDT shows an abnormal peak around 1980s in addition to the expected one in 1960s. In the lake core sediments without glacier meltwater input, the accumulation flux of DDT shows a gradual decline trend after the peak in 1960s. This striking difference in the DDT flux profiles between the two lake cores is most likely caused by the regional climate warming and the resulted discharge of the DDT stored in the Antarctic ice cap into the lakes in the Antarctic glacier frontier. Furthermore, to investigate the change of OCPs loadings in the Antarctic coastal ecosystem, we reconstructed the HCH and DDT concentration profiles in penguin droppings and observed a gradual increase for the former and a continuous decrease for the latter during the past 50 years. The increase of HCH seems to be due to the regional warming from the early 1970s and the resulted HCH discharge to the coastal ecosystem by glaciers＇ meltwater and the illegal use of HCH in the Southern Hemisphere in the recent decade. The different temporal trends of HCH and DDT accumulation rate in the lake core with glacier meltwater input and the aged penguin droppings can be explained by their different water-soluble property.
文摘During CHINARE 15(Dec. 1998 Mar. 1999), a lake core 67.5 cm in length, was sampled in Y2 lake, which is located on the Ardley Island, Antarctica. The concentrations of some chemical elements in Y2 lake sediments were analyzed. According to comparative research on elementary characters of sediments in Antarctic West Lake, fresh penguin dropping as well as guano soil on the Ardley Island and Pacific Island in South China Sea, it presents that the Y2 lake sediments were ameliorated by penguin dropping. The result of element cluster analysis shows that the type elements in the sediment impacted by penguin dropping include Sr,F,S,P,Ca,Se,Cu,Zn and Ba. This can provide a base for further interpreting the climatic and environmental event recorded in the sediment.
文摘By using the experimental approach of dropping liquid, the coupling of three anionic wetting agents with ten dust samples of sulfide ores was studied, and particularly the wetting effects of the wetting agents on the sulfide dust influenced by factors of agent concentration and sulfate additive in the wetting agent solutions were investigated. The results show that when the solution temperature is about 20 ℃, all the selected wetting agents are effective to most dust samples, but the effect is different. Wetting agents are more effective to the dust which is difficult to be wetted. Wetting agent solution with sodium sulfate can improve the wetting ability of sulfide dust. For sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, the suitable concentration of sodium sulfate is 12 mmol/L. The cost of wetting agents can be reduced because the sodium sulfate is much cheaper than many surfactants. Since the dust of sulfide ores is composed of various minerals and elements, the whole effect of depressing dust should be considered while innovating a wetting agent.
文摘The dropping scales is an important parameter for comber noil and combing quality. Because the rocking of the nipper shaft makes the nippers move backward and forward through a series of links, the original position of nipper frame is altered when changing the dropping scales, the other parameters of combing are changed accordingly. In this paper, the timing of opening-closing on nipper, the timing of cylinder’s combing, the timing of detaching-lapping and variation of nip pressure are calculated and their effects on combing are analyzed in different dropping scales on E7/6 comber.

文摘We propose a Rate-Distortion (RD) optimized strategy for frame-dropping and scheduling of multi-user conversa- tional and streaming videos. We consider a scenario where conversational and streaming videos share the forwarding resources at a network node. Two buffers are setup on the node to temporarily store the packets for these two types of video applications. For streaming video, a big buffer is used as the associated delay constraint of the application is moderate and a very small buffer is used for conversational video to ensure that the forwarding delay of every packet is limited. A scheduler is located behind these two buffers that dynamically assigns transmission slots on the outgoing link to the two buffers. Rate-distortion side information is used to perform RD-optimized frame dropping in case of node overload. Sharing the data rate on the outgoing link between the con- versational and the streaming videos is done either based on the fullness of the two associated buffers or on the mean incoming rates of the respective videos. Simulation results showed that our proposed RD-optimized frame dropping and scheduling ap- proach provides significant improvements in performance over the popular priority-based random dropping (PRD) technique.

文摘The present study aimed to investigate the effect of relative humidity(RH) at either acute or chronic moderate ambient temperature(Ta) on growth performance and droppings' corticosterone metabolites of broilers.Two experiments were conducted: effect of RH(35,60 or 85%) on average daily feed intake(ADFI) and droppings' corticosterone metabolites at acute(1 d: 20–26 or 31–20°C,26 or 31°C for 6 h d–1 at 10:00–16:00) moderate Ta(experiment 1) and effect of RH(35,60 or 85%) on growth performance and droppings' corticosterone metabolites at chronic(step-wisely increasing temperature by 3°C every 3 d from 20 to 32°C within 15 d: 20–23–26–29–32°C) moderate Ta(experiment 2).Droppings were collected at the 2,4,6,8,and 22 h after Ta-RH controlled in experiment 1 and at the 2,4,6,and 22 h after Ta controlled to 32°C in experiment 2.The results showed that: 1) In experiment 1,85% RH increased(P<0.05) the droppings' corticosterone metabolites at the 2,6,8,and 22 h and 35% RH increased(P<0.05) it at the 2 and 22 h compared to the 60% RH.Moreover,85% RH further increased(P<0.05) it compared to the 35% RH,however,no difference(P>0.05) was found in ADFI among the three RH groups at acute moderate 26°C; 35 and 85% RH increased(P<0.05) droppings' corticosterone metabolites at the 2,6,8 and 22 h and decreased(P<0.05) ADFI compared to the 60% RH,moreover,85% RH further increased(P<0.05) droppings' corticosterone metabolites and further decreased(P<0.05) ADFI compared to the 35% RH at acute moderate 31°C; and the average of droppings' corticosterone metabolites in the whole period had a negative correlation(P<0.02) with the ADFI.2) In experiment 2,85% RH increased(P<0.01) droppings' corticosterone metabolites only at the 2 h and decreased(P<0.02) ADFI and average daily gain(ADG) compared to the 60% RH,no difference(P>0.05) in droppings' corticosterone metabolites was found between the 35 and 60% RH,however,35% RH decreased(P<0.01) ADG compared to the 60% RH,and the average of droppings' corticosterone metabolites in the whole period also had a negative correlation(P<0.02) with ADFI and ADG.In conclusion,droppings' corticosterone metabolites could be used as a RH stress index and low and high RH,especially high RH,reduced growth performance possibly through inducing RH stress at moderate temperature.
文摘A new controller design problem of networked control systems with packet dropping is proposed. Depending on the place that the observer is put in the system, the network control systems with packet dropping are modeled as stochastic systems with the random variables satisfying the Bernoulli random binary distribution. The observer-based controller is designed to stabilize the networked system in the sense of mean square, and the prescribed H∞ disturbance attenuation level is achieved. The controller design problem is formulated as the feasibility of the convex optimization problem, which can be solved by a linear matrix inequality （LMI） approach. Numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

文摘A spherical Si solar cell with a reflector cup was successfully fabricated by a dropping method at decompression state. In the dropping method, melted Si droplets were instilled at decompression state (0.5×105 Pa) to reduce crystal growth rate, dominating crystal quality such as dislocation density in crystal grains. Spherical Si solar cells were fabricated using the spherical Si crystals with a diameter of 1 mm and then mounted on a reflector cup. The current-voltage measurement of the solar cell shows an energy conversion efficiency of 11.1% (short-circuit current density (Jsc): 24.7 mA·cm-2, open-circuit voltage: 601 mV, fill factor: 74.6%). Minority carrier diffusion length determined by surface photovoltage method was 98 μm. This value can be enhanced by the improvement of crystal quality of spherical Si crystals. These results demonstrate that spherical Si crystals fabricated by the dropping method has a great potential for substrate material of high-efficiency and low-cost solar cells.

文摘OBJECTIVE To prepare gingerol dropping pills and to investigate its protective effect on alcoholic liver injury. METHODS The prescription was selected by orthogonal design method and the effect of the option and ratio of ground substance,the temperature of drug. The hardness,circular degree,the tail formation and the dissolution time were studied. Totally 40 KM mice were randomly divided into control group,model group,gingerol dropping pill group(400 mg·kg^(-1)·d^(-1)) and positive control group(bifendate,150 mg·kg^(-1)·d^(-1)) of 10 mice each. The mice from the model and two drug groups were administrated with liqueur[0.15 mL/(10 g·d)]daily by gavage for 3 weeks,Two hours later,drug group mice were treated corresponding gingerol dropping pill and bifendate. Meanwhile,the control group were gavaged same amount of normal saline. Finally,when the model of acute alcoholic liver injury was established on the 22 stday,Biochemical indicators of ocular blood in mice were observed.We also observed the change of liver morphology. RESULTS Under optimum conditions,we can obtain dropping pills having circular shape,touching with hardness and short dissolution time. Compared with the control group,the levels of alanine transaminase(ALT),glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase(AST) and malondialdehyde(MDA) in model group were obviously increased(P<0.01),While the activity of Superoxide dismutase(SOD) were decreased. In addition,In model group,mice liver disorders,hepatic lobule fusion,accompanying a large number of patchy sample liver cell vacuoles,various sizes of fat vacuoles appeared in cytoplasm and inflammatory cell infiltration were visible around the central vein. On the contrary,compared with the model group,drug groups attenuated or even reversed hepatic pathological changes. Form gingerol dropping pill group,an increase in hepatic SOD activity and serum ALT and AST activities were found and a significant decrease in hepatic MDA content were also observed(P<0.01). CONCLUSION The prescription of gingerol dropping pills was reasonable,and the preparation process was simple. Gingerol dropping pills can protect liver from alcoholic liver injury to some extend,and the mechanism may be related to its antioxidant effect.

文摘In P2P （Peer-to-Peer） networks, some malicious peers can impact on overall networks performance. One of the malicious behaviors of these peers is malicious packet dropping. In this paper, our focus is to detect and to exclude peers that misbehave by dropping some or all packets. Here, we propose a reputation-based mechanism for solving the problem efficiently. The proposed mechanism uses both direct reputation information and indirect reputation information to compute comprehensive reputation of a peer. At the same time, history reputation information is also taken into account to provide faults tolerance capability and we regulate the imprecision based on the fact that the cause of packet dropping can be complex. Finally, the peers with bad comprehensive reputation can be detected easily and then will be excluded from the network. In this way, our proposed mechanism improves the per- formance of P2P networks without increasing computational overhead.

文摘In the state of acute myocardial ischemia,miRNA expression can regulate related genes and proteins,reduce myocardial cell damage,and thus play a protective role in the myocardium.However,the specific mechanism still needs to be further explored.Recent studies have found that the opening of the mitoKATP channel can regulate mitochondrial autophagy,and the initiation of miRNA-DNA methylation plays a regulatory role in inducing cell autophagy.The applicant research team previously found that Qishen Yiqi Dropping Pills could significantly improve myocardial ischemia by mediating MitokATP channels to regulate mitochondrial autophagy.,and animal experiments have confirmed that miR-155 plays a significant role in the aspect of autophagy regulates,inflammatory reaction and Vascular smooth muscle cell migration.Therefore,the applicant innovatively proposed that Qishen Yiqi Dropping Pills can regulate miRNA155-DNA methylation to mediate the opening of mitoKATP,thereby regulating mitochondrial autophagy and improving myocardial ischemia.In this paper,the association between mitochondrial autophagy and oxidative stress injury after myocardial ischemia was described,and the possible mechanism of Qisen Yiqi dropping pills regulating mitochondrial autophagy by regulating miRNA155-DNA methylation to mediate MitokATP to improve myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury was discussed,so as to provide theoretical ideas for related research.
