本文应用多变量拟协调元方法构造适用于 △u-A~2u=0 一类方程的有限单元。这种单元与通常的有限单元比较,具有精度高、计算量小的优点,对于PST法进一步应用于实际问题,将起到积极作用。本文采用了E指数等特殊函数形式,代替原有限元法通常采用的多项式插值,取得了较好的效果,这种“反常规”的做法对于有限元法理论的进一步研究和该方法潜力的挖掘将是十分有意义的。     

Separation of heart rate variability components of the autonomic nervous system by utilizing principal dynamic modes

This work introduces a modified Principal Dynamic Modes (PDM) methodology using eigenvalue/eigenvector analysis to separate individual components of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous contributions to heart rate variability. We have modified the PDM technique to be used with even a single output signal of heart rate variability data, whereas the original PDMs required both input and output data. This method specifically accounts for the inherent nonlinear dynamics of heart rate control, which the current method of power spectrum density (PSD) is unable to do. Propranolol and atropine were administered to normal human volunteers intravenously to inhibit the sympathetic and parasympathetic activities, respectively. With separate applications of the respective drugs, we found a significant decrease in the amplitude of the waveforms that correspond to each nervous activity. Furthermore, we observed near complete elimination of these dynamics when both drugs were given to the subjects. Comparison of our method to the conventional low/high frequency ratio of PSD shows that PDM methodology provides much more accurate assessment of the autonomic nervous balance by separation of individual components of the autonomic nervous activities. The PDM methodology is expected to have an added benefit that diagnosis and prognostication of a patient's health can be determined simply via a non-invasive electrocardiogram.     

Carrier testing program in a high-risk cystic fibrosis population from northeastern Italy. Active recruitment of relatives via probands' parents

OBJECTIVE: To assess the practicability and monitor the results of an active carrier testing program among relatives of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. METHODS: Parents of CF patients in the Veneto and Trentino regions of northeastern Italy were asked to help recruit relatives aged between 18 and 45 years for CF mutation testing. RESULTS: Of 409 enrolled CF parents, 59.6% agreed to send to the CF Center family composition data of relatives up to the third degree, and 28.8% recruited relatives to carrier testing, providing names and addresses of those who, being contacted, expressed a willingness to be tested. The participation of parents was higher if they were young and had a child recently diagnosed with CF. Recruiting parents indicated 333 close relatives (59%) for testing. When contacted by the CF Center, 170 of these 333 (51%) attended for testing. The percentage of close relatives who spontaneously asked for the test was 5.4% before the carrier testing program started; it rose to 25.3% following the introduction of the active strategy. CONCLUSIONS: The participation of the parents of CF patients is an important factor affecting the utilization of testing by relatives. Besides this, the influence of a favorable medical and cultural context (participation of gynecologists and family doctors in testing programs, genetic education of the general population) has to be considered.

PopGen: population-based recruitment of patients and controls for the analysis of complex genotype-phenotype relationships

OBJECTIVE: Patient samples used for mapping complex human disease genes are unlikely to be representative of the phenotype spectrum of the respective population as a whole. On the other hand, most ongoing prospective studies are probably too small for evaluating polygenic disease markers. DESIGN: Precise estimates of population-specific genotypic risks can be obtained efficiently through the complete ascertainment of patients in a geographically confined area. The PopGen project uses the most northern part of Germany as a target region for such a pursuit. RESULTS: PopGen currently pursues recruitment, sampling and processing activities in close collaboration with a multitude of clinical partners, covering cardiovascular, neuropsychiatric and environmental diseases. CONCLUSION: PopGen has successfully established itself as a large-scale genetic epidemiological project of international recognition.     

NiO/MWCNTs复合物的固相合成及其电容性能

本文通过PEG-400辅助室温固相反应制备Ni(OH)2/MWCNTs前驱物,经300℃下热分解得到NiO/MWCNTs复合物。借助X-射线衍射(XRD)和透射电镜(TEM)测试对产物的晶型及形貌进行了表征,采用循环伏安及恒流充放电测试手段对所得复合物的电容性能进行了分析。结果表明,针状NiO较均匀地附着于碳纳米管的表面,当MWCNTs的含量为60%时,NiO/MWCNTs复合物电极的放电比容量得以有效改善,0.2A.g-1下的其放电比容量可达949 F.g-1,远高于纯NiO(422 F.g-1)及MWCNTs(201 F.g-1)的放电比容量,显示了二者的协同效应。

挡板对数据中心热环境影响的模拟研究

针对数据机房高架地板下静压箱内送风压力不平衡导致地板格栅送风不均匀而引起机柜过热的问题,以某大型数据中心内气流组织为研究对象,采用6SigmaRoom软件进行数值模拟,求解获取地板静压箱内架设挡板时数据中心内机柜进口温度分布,温度场分布和不同高度平面的速度场分布,进而对比静压箱架设挡板末端不同高度对数据中心内机柜最大进口温度的影响,最后运用供热指数(SHI)、回热指数(RHI)、机架冷却指数(RCI)和回风温度指数(RTI)详细分析其优劣.研究结果表明:静压箱架设挡板能改善数据中心的气流组织,且架设的挡板末端越高,其节能程度越高.与未架设挡板的数据中心相比,静压箱挡板末端为0.56 m时SHI降低43.1％,静压箱中压力分布更均匀,可有效解决数据中心近空调端机柜过热的问题.     

十二烷基磺酸钠对大豆过氧化物酶活性和构象的影响

在不同的pH值体系中, 利用酶活测量、圆二色谱、荧光谱和电子吸收谱研究了十二烷基磺酸钠(SDS)对大豆过氧化物酶(SBP)活性与构象的影响情况. 在pH 2.6和4.2 的体系中, 少量的SDS分子可通过静电作用与SBP结合, 进而与SBP分子中的His169残基结合, 降低其与铁卟啉的配位能力, 使其Soret吸收带蓝移, 二级结构发生轻微的变动, 活性永久丧失. 在pH 5.2体系中, SDS和SBP分子都带负电, 由于静电排斥作用, SDS无法进入SBP的分子内部, 失去与SBP分子中His169残基结合的能力, 对SBP分子的二级结构没有影响, 仅对SBP分子的三级结构有所影响. 当SDS的浓度大于临界胶束浓度时, 由于胶束与SBP的静电排斥作用增强, 限制了铁卟啉中乙烯基的运动, 乙烯基与卟啉环的共轭程度增大, Soret 吸收带红移. 由于SBP活性可完全恢复, 此变化是可逆的.
