[Method] Genetic polymorphism and aggregation of seven sheep populations, including three breeding sheep populations (breeding F1, F2 and Bamei mutton sheep), three introduced mutton sheep breeds (Texel, Dorset and German Merino sheep) and one local female parent population (Mongolia sheep), were assessed using 10 microsatellite markers. [Result] By cluster analysis, the seven sheep populations can be divided into two groups. The F1 and German Merino sheep were closely related, which were clustered with F2, Bamei mutton sheep and Mongolia sheep to form one group while Texel and Dorset to form another group. The genetic aggregation of the seven breeds was assessed by Bayesian discrimination. And the results show that the genetic aggregation of F1 and F2 were lower while that of Bamei mutton sheep, Texel, Dorset and German Merino sheep were higher. [Conclusion] Better genetic stability has been formed in Bamei mutton sheep.展开更多

A novel definition of bottleneck station is presented and the probability of a station becoming a bottleneck is also given. By calculating the effective output, the effective operation time （EOT） and the ratio of EOT of each station, the system＇s current bottleneck of effective output time is determined. By calculating the probability coefficient of variation and index of bottleneck shifting, the quantitative performance of bottleneck shifting is obtained. Discrete event simulation and the experiment design method are adopted to simulate the system, in which the proportion of quality grading, repair rates and process routes are considered. The case study shows that the uncertainty of returns＇ quality greatly increases the probability of bottleneck shifting, and with the increase of the discrete degree of the returns＇ repair rate, the bottleneck shifting phenomenon is more obvious. Furthermore, bottleneck shifting is closely related to the process route of the dominating returns＇ quality grade.展开更多

The results showed that the treatments of T2, T3 and T4 had higher or significantly higher seed germination rate, germination index and vigor index, seedling emergence rate and adult seedling rate than the CK, while T1 had significantly lower values of these traits than the CK. Compared with the CK, the number of spikelets per pani- cle was found to be the main reason for the yield increase of these treatments with high seed viability.展开更多

Moreover, migration, accumulation and blocking effects of fine particles in soil will lead to soil failure and then develop into debris flow. Based on this hypothesis and considering the three factors of slope gradient, rainfall duration and rainfall intensity, 16 flume experiments were designed using the method of orthogonal design and completed in a laboratory. Particle composition changes in slope toe, volumetric water content, fine particle movement characteristics and soil failure mechanism were analyzed and understood as follows: the soil has complex, random and unstable structures, which causes remarkable pore characteristics of poor connectivity, non-uniformity and easy variation. The major factors that influence fine particle migration are rainfall intensity and slope. Rainfall intensity dominates particle movement, whereby high intensity rainfall induces a large number of mass movement and sharp fluctuation, causing more fine particles to accumulate at the steep slope toe. The slope toe plays an important role in water collection and fine particleaccumulation. Both fine particle migration and coarse particle movement appears similar fluctuation. Fine particle migration is interrupted in unconnected pores, causing pore blockage and fine particle accumulation, which then leads to the formation of a weak layer and further soil failure or collapses. Fine particle movement also causes debris flow formation in two ways: movement on the soil surface and migration inside the soil. The results verify the hypothesis that the function of fine particle migration in soil failure process is conducive for further understanding the formation mechanism of soil failure and debris flow initiation.展开更多

The characteristic parameter of the signal is extracted and optimized by using a clustering algorithm, support vector machine is trained by grading algorithm so as to enhance the rate of convergence, improve the performance of recognition under the low SNR and realize modulation recognition of the signal based on the modulation system of the constellation diagram in this paper. Simulation results show that the average recognition rate based on this algorithm is enhanced over 30% compared with methods that adopting clustering algorithm or support vector machine respectively under the low SNR. The average recognition rate can reach 90% when the SNR is 5 dB, and the method is easy to be achieved so that it has broad application prospect in the modulating recognition.展开更多

In patients with acute viral hepatitis, a liver biopsy, though uncommonly performed, helps to rule out other nonviral causes of deranged liver function. In chronic viral hepatitis C, it is considered the gold standard in assessment of the degree of necroinflammation and the stage of fibrosis, to help guide treatment and determine prognosis. It also helps rule out any concomitant diseases such as steatohepatitis, hemochromatosis or others. In patients with chronic progressive liver disease with cirrhosis and dominant nodules, a targeted liver biopsy is helpful in differentiating a regenerative nodule from dysplastic nodule or hepatocellular carcinoma. In the setting of transplantation, the liver biopsy helps distinguish recurrent hepatitis C from acute rejection and also is invaluable in the diagnosis of fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis, a rare variant of recurrent hepatitis C. This comprehensive review discusses the entire spectrum of pathologic findings in the course of hepatitis C infection.展开更多

Histo-and clinico-pathological characteristics were analyzed by Chi-square test and Student's t-test, and prognoses were calculated using KaplanMeier method and a Cox proportionate hazards model. Bonferroni correction was used to correct for multiple comparison.Results: Conventional type of TNBC(c TNBC) were identified in 73.7% of 582 TNBC, while special type of TNBC(s TNBC) were 26.3%, including 71 apocrine carcinoma, 20 medullary carcinoma, 31 metaplastic carcinoma, 18 invasive lobular carcinoma, 7 invasive micropapillary carcinoma, 5 adenoid cystic carcinoma and 1 acinic cell carcinoma. Compared to s TNBC, c TNBC was associated with high histologic grade(P<0.001) and lower androgen receptor(AR) expression(P<0.001). TNM stage of low-grade c TNBC was significantly lower than that of high-grade c TNBC(P=0.002). Although no significant difference, there was a trend that the rate of 5-year disease-free survival(DFS) and 5-year overall survival(OS) were longer in high-grade c TNBC than in high-grade s TNBC(P=0.091 and 0.518), and were longer in low-grade s TNBC than in high-grade s TNBC(P=0.051 and0.350). Metaplastic carcinomas showed larger tumor size(P=0.008) and higher proliferative Ki67 index(P=0.004)than c TNBCs.Conclusions: Results from our cohort imply that sub-categorization or subtyping and histological grading could be meaningful in pathological evaluation of TNBC, and need to be clarified in more large collections of TNBC.展开更多

文摘The increasing trend towards independent fruit packaging demands a high appearance quality of individually packed fruits.In this paper,we propose an improved YOLOv5-based model,YOLO-Banana,to effectively grade banana appearance quality based on the number of banana defect points.Due to the minor and dense defects on the surface of bananas,existing detection algorithms have poor detection results and high missing rates.To address this,we propose a densitybased spatial clustering of applications with noise(DBSCAN)and K-means fusion clustering method that utilizes refined anchor points to obtain better initial anchor values,thereby enhancing the network’s recognition accuracy.Moreover,the optimized progressive aggregated network(PANet)enables better multi-level feature fusion.Additionally,the non-maximum suppression function is replaced with a weighted non-maximum suppression(weighted NMS)function based on distance intersection over union(DIoU).Experimental results show that the model’s accuracy is improved by 2.3%compared to the original YOLOv5 network model,thereby effectively grading the banana appearance quality.

文摘Aimed at the remanufacturing system, the effect of the uncertainty of returns＇ quality on bottleneck shifting is investigated. A novel definition of bottleneck station is presented and the probability of a station becoming a bottleneck is also given. By calculating the effective output, the effective operation time （EOT） and the ratio of EOT of each station, the system＇s current bottleneck of effective output time is determined. By calculating the probability coefficient of variation and index of bottleneck shifting, the quantitative performance of bottleneck shifting is obtained. Discrete event simulation and the experiment design method are adopted to simulate the system, in which the proportion of quality grading, repair rates and process routes are considered. The case study shows that the uncertainty of returns＇ quality greatly increases the probability of bottleneck shifting, and with the increase of the discrete degree of the returns＇ repair rate, the bottleneck shifting phenomenon is more obvious. Furthermore, bottleneck shifting is closely related to the process route of the dominating returns＇ quality grade.

文摘Using the commercial seeds of two hybrid rice varieties including Lu- liangyou 996 and Liangyoupeijiu as the materials, four specific gravity-based seed grading treatments, Le., the specific gravity of 〈1.0 （T1）, 1.0-1.09 （T2）, 1.1-1.19（T3） and ≥1.2 （T4）, by selection with different saline solutions, and the control without seed grading （CK） were designed to study the effects of seed grading on seed germination, seedling emergence, seedling quality and grain yield. The results showed that the treatments of T2, T3 and T4 had higher or significantly higher seed germination rate, germination index and vigor index, seedling emergence rate and adult seedling rate than the CK, while T1 had significantly lower values of these traits than the CK. Compared with the CK, the number of spikelets per pani- cle was found to be the main reason for the yield increase of these treatments with high seed viability.

文摘The initiation mechanism of debris flow is regarded as the key step in understanding the debrisflow processes of occurrence, development and damage. Moreover, migration, accumulation and blocking effects of fine particles in soil will lead to soil failure and then develop into debris flow. Based on this hypothesis and considering the three factors of slope gradient, rainfall duration and rainfall intensity, 16 flume experiments were designed using the method of orthogonal design and completed in a laboratory. Particle composition changes in slope toe, volumetric water content, fine particle movement characteristics and soil failure mechanism were analyzed and understood as follows: the soil has complex, random and unstable structures, which causes remarkable pore characteristics of poor connectivity, non-uniformity and easy variation. The major factors that influence fine particle migration are rainfall intensity and slope. Rainfall intensity dominates particle movement, whereby high intensity rainfall induces a large number of mass movement and sharp fluctuation, causing more fine particles to accumulate at the steep slope toe. The slope toe plays an important role in water collection and fine particleaccumulation. Both fine particle migration and coarse particle movement appears similar fluctuation. Fine particle migration is interrupted in unconnected pores, causing pore blockage and fine particle accumulation, which then leads to the formation of a weak layer and further soil failure or collapses. Fine particle movement also causes debris flow formation in two ways: movement on the soil surface and migration inside the soil. The results verify the hypothesis that the function of fine particle migration in soil failure process is conducive for further understanding the formation mechanism of soil failure and debris flow initiation.

文摘For the existing support vector machine, when recognizing more questions, the shortcomings of high computational complexity and low recognition rate under the low SNR are emerged. The characteristic parameter of the signal is extracted and optimized by using a clustering algorithm, support vector machine is trained by grading algorithm so as to enhance the rate of convergence, improve the performance of recognition under the low SNR and realize modulation recognition of the signal based on the modulation system of the constellation diagram in this paper. Simulation results show that the average recognition rate based on this algorithm is enhanced over 30% compared with methods that adopting clustering algorithm or support vector machine respectively under the low SNR. The average recognition rate can reach 90% when the SNR is 5 dB, and the method is easy to be achieved so that it has broad application prospect in the modulating recognition.
文摘Liver biopsy evaluation plays a critical role in management of patients with viral hepatitis C. In patients with acute viral hepatitis, a liver biopsy, though uncommonly performed, helps to rule out other nonviral causes of deranged liver function. In chronic viral hepatitis C, it is considered the gold standard in assessment of the degree of necroinflammation and the stage of fibrosis, to help guide treatment and determine prognosis. It also helps rule out any concomitant diseases such as steatohepatitis, hemochromatosis or others. In patients with chronic progressive liver disease with cirrhosis and dominant nodules, a targeted liver biopsy is helpful in differentiating a regenerative nodule from dysplastic nodule or hepatocellular carcinoma. In the setting of transplantation, the liver biopsy helps distinguish recurrent hepatitis C from acute rejection and also is invaluable in the diagnosis of fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis, a rare variant of recurrent hepatitis C. This comprehensive review discusses the entire spectrum of pathologic findings in the course of hepatitis C infection.

文摘Objective: To investigate histo-pathological distribution and clinico-pathological significance in a large Chinese triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC) patients serials based on the latest understanding of its clinico-pathological diversity, and to provide more information to clinicians to improve precision of individualized treatment of TNBC.Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with TNBC at Breast Disease Center, Peking University First Hospital between January 2010 and December 2019. Histo-and clinico-pathological characteristics were analyzed by Chi-square test and Student's t-test, and prognoses were calculated using KaplanMeier method and a Cox proportionate hazards model. Bonferroni correction was used to correct for multiple comparison.Results: Conventional type of TNBC(c TNBC) were identified in 73.7% of 582 TNBC, while special type of TNBC(s TNBC) were 26.3%, including 71 apocrine carcinoma, 20 medullary carcinoma, 31 metaplastic carcinoma, 18 invasive lobular carcinoma, 7 invasive micropapillary carcinoma, 5 adenoid cystic carcinoma and 1 acinic cell carcinoma. Compared to s TNBC, c TNBC was associated with high histologic grade(P<0.001) and lower androgen receptor(AR) expression(P<0.001). TNM stage of low-grade c TNBC was significantly lower than that of high-grade c TNBC(P=0.002). Although no significant difference, there was a trend that the rate of 5-year disease-free survival(DFS) and 5-year overall survival(OS) were longer in high-grade c TNBC than in high-grade s TNBC(P=0.091 and 0.518), and were longer in low-grade s TNBC than in high-grade s TNBC(P=0.051 and0.350). Metaplastic carcinomas showed larger tumor size(P=0.008) and higher proliferative Ki67 index(P=0.004)than c TNBCs.Conclusions: Results from our cohort imply that sub-categorization or subtyping and histological grading could be meaningful in pathological evaluation of TNBC, and need to be clarified in more large collections of TNBC.
