The putative tumor suppressor gene on chromosome 5q for hepatocellular carcinoma is distinct from the MCC and APC genes

We have previously shown that the tumor suppressor gene for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) without cirrhosis may be located on chromosome 5q35-qter. In this study, we analyzed nine cases of primary HCC without cirrhosis using probes from the MCC and APC genes, which are in the region 5q21-22. None of the informative cases had allele loss detected by these probes, whereas the probe lambda MS8 for the region 5q35-qter showed allele loss in six out of six informative cases. The results confirm that the putative tumor suppressor gene for HCC without cirrhosis on chromosome 5q is distinct from the MCC and APC genes.

如何有效激励研发人员

研发人员要捣起鬼来,再精明的老板恐怕也拿他们没有办法.因为研发项目存在大量的不确定性,老板在管理研发人员时一般都是外行管理内行,研发人员可以随意地拿出几个技术问题甚至技术术语将老板弄得干着急."创新嘛,总有很多不确定性,因此我们无法制定准确的计划.譬如说,爱迪生能事先知道何时能够发明灯泡吗?牛顿能够预知他何时能够发现万有引力吗?……"我想,这些话说出来能将老板们噎得背过气去."技术问题"成了研发人员的免死牌.如果老板本身就是技术高手,这些问题可能少一些,但企业也可能面临更大的问题.

Microwave heating synthesis of HgS and PbS nanocrystals in ethanol solvent

A novel route was developed to prepare PbS and HgS nanocrystals in ethanol solvent in the presence of sodium hydroxide by microwave heating method. PbS and HgS nanocrystals were obtained with an average size of approximately 10 and 6 nm, respectively. In the reaction, mercury acetate and lead acetate were used as mercury and lead source; sulfur powder was employed as chalcogenide source. The products were characterized by X-ray powder analysis (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy. The probable mechanism was presented.     

Analytical solution for the axisymmetric plane strain electroelastic dynamics of a special non-homogeneous piezoelectric hollow cylinder

By virtue of the introduction of a dependent variable and the separation of variables technique, the axisymmetric plane strain electroelastic dynamic problem of a special non-homogeneous piezoelectric hollow cylinder is transformed to a Volterra integral equation of the second kind about a function with respect to time, which can be solved successfully by means of the interpolation method. Then the solutions of displacements, stresses, electric displacements and electric potential are obtained. The present method is suitable for a piezoelectric hollow cylinder with an arbitrary thickness subjected to arbitrary mechanical and electrical loads. Numerical results are finally presented.     

Generalized eigenvectors and fractionalization of offset DFTs and DCTs

The offset discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is a discrete transform with kernel exp[-j2/spl pi/(m-a)(n-b)/N]. It is more generalized and flexible than the original DFT and has very close relations with the discrete cosine transform (DCT) of type 4 (DCT-IV), DCT-VIII, discrete sine transform (DST)-IV, DST-VIII, and discrete Hartley transform (DHT)-IV. In this paper, we derive the eigenvectors/eigenvalues of the offset DFT, especially for the case where a+b is an integer. By convolution theorem, we can derive the close form eigenvector sets of the offset DFT when a+b is an integer. We also show the general form of the eigenvectors in this case. Then, we use the eigenvectors/eigenvalues of the offset DFT to derive the eigenvectors/eigenvalues of the DCT-IV, DCT-VIII, DST-IV, DST-VIII, and DHT-IV. After the eigenvectors/eigenvalues are derived, we can use the eigenvectors-decomposition method to derive the fractional operations of the offset DFT, DCT-IV, DCT-VIII, DST-IV, DST-VIII, and DHT-IV. These fractional operations are more flexible than the original ones and can be used for filter design, data compression, encryption, and watermarking, etc.     

Synthesis of diamond crystals and films using an oxygen-acetylene flame under atmosheric pressure

Diamond growth with rates up to 100 to 140 μm/hr was achieved using an oxygen-acetylene combustion spraying technique in an atmospheric environment. Investigations on the processing indicated that the gas flow ratio, substrate position, substrate temperature, temperature distribution, and substrate pretreatment were the most important factors affecting the growth of diamond crystals. Evaluation by means of X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electron probe microanalysis showed that the synthesized diamond was nearly perfect in morphology, structure, and purity.
