An acoustic aneurysm-detector

Intracranial aneurysms have a high prevalence in the adult population; and if they rupture, significant morbidity almost always ensues. However, pulsatile blood flow through aneurysms produces vibrational sound patterns that may be detected extracranially. Thus, an acoustic aneurysm-detector has been developed to detect the sounds produced by intracranial aneurysms prior to rupture. The design is based on the utilization of a hydrophone for signal detection and computational signal processing for signal extraction. Data are examined in the time domain, the frequency domain, and the time-frequency plane. Examples are presented from an animal model and from a patient with a known aneurysm.     

Fe<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript>@PAM@NTA-Ni<Superscript>2+</Superscript> Magnetic Composite Nanoparticles for Highly Specific Separation of His-tagged Proteins

A facile approach has been developed to synthesize Fe₃O₄@PAM (polyacrylamide) nanoparticles (NPs) with carboxyl groups on the surfaces by copolymerization with acrylamide and acrylic acid in Fe₃O₄ NPs aqueous suspension. Nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) was conjugated to the magnetic NPs via well-known carboniimide chemistry using EDC and NHS. The Ni²⁺ ions loaded on the surface of NPs provide abundant docking sites for immobilization of His-tagged green fluorescent proteins (His-tagged GFP). The high magnetic property of Fe₃O₄@PAM@NTA-Ni²⁺ allows an easy separation of the NPs from solution under an external magnetic field, with high His-tagged protein binding capacity (42 μg protein/mg of NPs). The NPs can be recycled for at least four times without significant loss of binding capacity to proteins. These materials show great potential to separate His-tagged protein with low-cost purification at industrial scale.     

Challenges and R&D opportunities of smart distribution grids in China

In this paper, 5 investigations on the current states of power distribution grids in China have been introduced that cover the surveys of the practical distribution asset utilization, the simultaneity factor of feeder loading, the load compositions and characteristics, the urban reliability and the integration of distributed generations of renewable resources. Based on the survey results in the investigations, 12 Facts are clearly presented. It shows that the challenges to modernize the distribution grids in China are to improve the asset utilization rates, the electricity efficiencies and the reliability of distribution systems, as well as to integrate increasing amount of variable distributed renewable resources. Furthermore based on the challenges, 8 R&D opportunities have been identified.     

荧光灯频闪对视觉功能影响的实验观察

本研究以视力正常的健康青年人为受试对象,测试使用不同频闪的荧光灯时,视觉疲劳出现的情况。测定结果表明,经８小时实验观察,使用无频闪的直流荧光灯,眼的调节近点、集合近点、闪光融合频率、明视持久度等指标的变化程度,明显小于有频闪的荧光灯,差异有显著性（Ｐ＜０．０５,Ｐ＜０．０１）,提示在同样条件下,无频闪的荧光灯可以减轻视觉疲劳程度。     

放射性铈在模拟水稻田中的行为

研究了１４１Ｃｅ在模拟水稻田中的迁移、积累和分布。结果表明，１４１Ｃｅ进入田水后向土壤和水稻迁移，水中１４１Ｃｅ浓度迅速下降。水稻中１４１Ｃｅ浓度显著地高于土壤和田水。田水和土壤中的１４１Ｃｅ浓度随时间延长基本上单调降低，而水稻中１４１Ｃｅ浓度则在经历某一最大值后便下降。土壤对１４１Ｃｅ的吸附迅速，吸附率较高，９５％以上的１４１Ｃｅ滞留于表层４ｃｍ之内；土壤中１４１Ｃｅ浓度与离表面深度呈单项指数负相关。

Superior–Subordinate Relationships in Korean Civil Engineering Companies

The Leader–Member Exchange (LMX) relationship quality between superiors and subordinates in Korean civil engineering companies were empirically examined for superiors’ feedback-seeking behaviors. The results showed that for superiors, affect, loyalty, and contribution toward subordinates were positively related to seeking negative as well as positive feedback from subordinates. From subordinates’ point of view, affect, contribution, and professional respect toward their superiors were positively related to superiors’ negative feedback seeking, but affect was negatively related to superiors’ positive feedback seeking. It was also found that superiors and subordinates were not consensual in LMX and superiors’ feedback-seeking behaviors. For example, for superiors, all of the four LMX dimensions were positively related to superiors’ asking subordinates directly for feedback, whereas for subordinates, none of the LMX dimensions were significantly related to superiors’ asking subordinates directly for feedback. These and other findings are discussed in detail, and implications for the findings are provided.
