The Stability

Initial structure deformation prediction based on the regression analysis is an important means to evaluate the stability of tunnel, but the commonly used regression functions, such as exponential, logarithmic and hyperbolic function, have disadvantages of low accuracy. Aiming at the drawbacks, 3 kinds of multi-parameter growth functions (Weibull growth function, Richard function and Gompertz growth function) and 3 kinds of commonly used functions (exponential, logarithmic and hyperbolic function) are used to conduct the regression analysis for a loess tunnel’s initial structure in north-west China. Comparison results show that, (1) regressions based on multi-parameter growth functions are far more precise than the commonly used functions, reflecting its superiority in initial structure deformation prediction of the loess tunnel, (2) the more coefficients the function have, the higher the regression correlation is, and (3) the similarity of iterative and error analysis algorithm in different multi-parameter growth functions lays foundations for computer programming realization of regression analysis and model selection automation.

Transition Rules

In this paper, ordered transition rules are investigated. Such rules describe an increment of mono-crystals and for every rule one can calculate so called Wulff Shape. It is shown that for some large class of these rules, there exists at most one growth function which generates a given Wulff Shape.

Abstract16S rRNA sequencing of human fecal samples has been tremendously successful in identifying microbiome changes associated with both aging and disease. A number of studies have described microbial alterations corresponding to physical frailty and nursing home residence among aging individuals. A gut-muscle axis through which the microbiome influences skeletal muscle growth/function has been hypothesized. However, the microbiome has yet to be examined in sarcopenia. Here, we collected fecal samples of 60 healthy controls (CON) and 27 sarcopenic (Case)/possibly sarcopenic (preCase) individuals and analyzed the intestinal microbiota using 16S rRNA sequencing. We observed an overall reduction in microbial diversity in Case and preCase samples. The genera Lachnospira, Fusicantenibacter, Roseburia, Eubacterium, and Lachnoclostridium—known butyrate producers—were significantly less abundant in Case and preCase subjects while Lactobacillus was more abundant. Functional pathways underrepresented in Case subjects included numerous transporters and phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis suggesting that protein processing and nutrient transport may be impaired. In contrast, lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis was overrepresented in Case and PreCase subjects suggesting that sarcopenia is associated with a pro-inflammatory metagenome. These analyses demonstrate structural and functional alterations in the intestinal microbiota that may contribute to loss of skeletal muscle mass and function in sarcopenia.

Cancer caused uncontrolled cell proliferation and triggered by changes on cell information that regulate growth function. Each cell has different potential so many cancer prevalence such as endometrial cancer, lymph node cancer, lung cancer, skin and mammary gland cancer. The aims of this study were to assess the potential of dragon fruit skin ethanolic extract on white rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed 7,12- Dimethylbenz(á)antrasena (DMBA) on mammary gland based on histopathological features and cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) intensity. This study were used 20 of rats randomly divided into five group and each groups consisted of four rats, i.e: K+ weren’t treated DMBA and extract; K- were treated with DMBA; P1 were treated with DMBA and extract 10 mg/kg BW; P2 were treated with DMBA and extract 15 mg/kg BW; P3 were treated with DMBA and extract 20 mg/kg BW. The DMBA was given by intra dermal injection during twice a week for five weeks and the extracts with gastric tube everyday till 14 days. The data was analyzed by Anova test and continued with Duncan test. The result showed that the histopathological features were decrease significantly on P3. The variables of Cox-2 intensity were decrease significantly on P1, P2 and P3. Conclusion of this study was ethanol extract of dragon fruit skin can decrease neoplastic indication of mammary gland on white rats (R. norvegicus) based on histopathological features and Cox-2 inhibitors.

This paper presents an estimation of growth curves and spatiotemporal distributions of juvenile shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) in the western and central North Pacific Ocean using port sampling data collected from 2005 to 2013. The monthly length compositions show a clear transition of three modes in the size range of smaller than 150-cm precaudal length (PCL), which were believed to represent the growth of age-0 to age-2 classes, and they were then decomposed into age groups by fitting a Gaussian mixture distribution. Simulation data of lengths at monthly ages were generated from the mean and standard deviation of each distribution, and fit with a von Bertalanffy growth function. Parameters of the estimated growth curves for males and females were 274.4 and 239.4cm PCL for the asymptotic length and 0.19 and 0.25 year–1 for the growth coefficient indicating apparently faster growth than previously reported. Generalised linear models were applied to age-0 to explore the seasonal changes of PCL by area. They were born during late autumn and winter off the coast of north-eastern Japan, an area known to have relatively high productivity compared with other pelagic areas, and gradually expanded their habitat eastward and northward with the seasons as they grew.

Order Rhynchonellida

Thirty-five specimens of the articulate brachiopod Neorhynchia strebeli were collected from a site at 814 m in the Weddell Sea. This was only the second species of the order Rhynchonellida to be found in Antarctica. Formerly N. strebeli was known solely from abyssal Pacific Ocean localities. A circumantarctic distribution is suggested in addition to the known deep-sea Pacific range. The specimens of this collection showed considerable commissure variation, suggesting that the previously proposed erection of two subspecies on the basis of this character is erroneous, and emphasises the phenotypic plasticity of some articulate brachiopods. The valve lengths and the number of alpha growth rings in the sample showed a normal distribution and a von Bertalanffy growth function was fitted to the data: Lt = 23 (1-exp[-0·228t]). If the alpha growth rings were of annual periodicity, the ages attained by the Antarctic N. strebeli of 11 y would be substantially lower than those reported for other Weddell Sea brachiopods. The epibiotic communities occurring on the valves of N. strebeli were impoverished, which is characteristic of deep water Antarctic brachiopods. The few specimens collected with their substratum were attached to small pebbles, but the typical attachment substrata may be different.

The Impact

One of the most important tasks of System Operator (SO) is to manage congestion as it threatens system security and may cause rise in electricity price resulting in market inefficiency. In corrective action congestion management schemes, it is crucial for SO to select the most sensitive generators to re-schedule their real and reactive powers and the loads to curtail in extreme congestion management. This paper proposed the selection of most sensitive generators and loads to re-schedule their generation and load curtailment based on the improved line flow sensitivity indices to manage congestion. The impact of slack bus on power flow sensitivity factors has been determined to encourage fair competition in the electricity markets. Effect of bilateral and multilateral transactions, and impact of multi-line congestion on congestion cost has also been studied. The generators’ reactive power bid has been modeled by a continuous differentiable tangent hyperbolic function. The proposed concept of congestion management has been tested on a practical 75-bus Indian system and IEEE-118-bus test system.
