用AFM观察小白鼠心肌核DNA片段的基因体外转录和垃圾DNA的相互作用

用AFM直接观察、体外转录等实验技术组合,发现小白鼠(Balb/C)心肌体外转录状态的核DNA片段上的各种基因,处于垃圾DNA的特定的“转录平台”上。“转录平台”上的各种核活性基因的两端的调控序列,分别与特定开关蛋白质复合体结合(即可解离的开关蛋白质),中间的编码序列分别以非共价键特异结合可完全解离的转录活性因子等多种蛋白质;这些与核基因转录相关的蛋白质均由垃圾DNA的专一性蛋白质通路分别进行特异性正负反馈调控。     

基于随机森林的文本分类模型研究

随着WWW的迅猛发展，文本分类成为处理和组织大量文档数据的关键技术.随机森林模型是决策树的集成，并且由一随机向量决定决策树的构造. 当森林中决策树的数目增大，随机森林的泛化误差将趋向一个上界.将随机森林模型应用于文本分类,在Reuter21578数据集上的实验表明，分类效果比较好，性能比较稳定，将其同C4.5, KNN, SM0, SVM 4种典型的文本分类器进行了比较，结果显示它的分类性能胜于C4.5，同KNN, SMO和SVM方法相当.     

A solution of spatial query processing and query optimization for spatial databases

Recently, attention has been focused on spatial query language which is used to query spatial databases. A design of spatial query language has been presented in this paper by extending the standard relational database query language SQL. It recognizes the significantly different requirements of spatial data handling and overcomes the inherent problems of the application of conventional database query languages. This design is based on an extended spatial data model, including the spatial data types and the spatial operators on them. The processing and optimization of spatial queries have also been discussed in this design. In the end, an implementation of this design is given in a spatial query subsystem.     

Biochemical characterization of the protein encoded by rice osRACD gene

A recombinant plasmid pET-racd was first constructed by cloning osRACD,the development-regulating gene that controls photoperiod fertility transformation in the photoperiod sensitive genic male sterile rice Nongken 58S,into a prokaryote expression vector pET28a(+).It was then transformed into E.Coli BL-21.Cutting with thrombin of the fusion protein extracted from transformants and PAGE separation yielded pure osRACD protein,which was further concentrated using ultrafiltration and renatured using glutathione oxidation/reduction refolding system for later functional study.As demonstrated by in vitro functional assay,the osRACD protein expressed in E.Coli B-21 shows remarkable activity in binding GTP specifically and hydrolyzing it.     

Determination of Henry''s Law constant for methyl hydroperoxide by long path FTIR

Methyl hydroperoxide (MHP, CH3OOH) is one of the main organic peroxides in the atmosphere. In order to understand how MHP partitions in atmospheric gas and liquid phases, the Henry's Law constant for its aqueous solution is determined. A novel technique is established for measuring gas-phase MHP concentration, I.e. The gas phase is collected by a gas-bag and then analyzed by long path Fourier transform infrared (LP-FTIR) spectrometry. At 283 K～303 K, the temperature dependence of the Henry's Law constant for MHP can be expressed as lnKH= a/T - b, a = 4386 ± 140, b = 9.19 ± 0.48, where KH is in unit of molar concentration per atm,and T is in degrees Kelvin. The standard heat of solution is 36.45 ± 1.16 kJ? K- 1? mol-1.     

Affinities and functional morphology of the Middle Cambrian ornamented tubules from West Hunan, China

Problematic phosphatic tubular microfossils with ornamented sculptures are documented to exist in limestones of the upper Middle Cambrian Huaqiao Formation at the Paibi section and the Wangcun section in West Hunan, China. Two morphological patterns, including Ornamented Tube Form I and Ornamented Tube Form II are described. Based on the analysis of the preservation, wall structure and composition of the fossils, it is deduced that these ornamented tubes may represent carapace spines of some Cambrian arthropods with phosphatic carapaces, such as bradoriid crustaceans. Analysis of functional morphology indicates that the sclerites may rather be considered of a defensive than grasping function on the original organism body.     

SHRIMP zircon U-Pb ages of garnet pyroxenite and Fushui gabbroic complex in Songshugou region and constraints on tectonic evolution of Qinling Orogenic Belt

“Qinling Group (?)” in Songshugou region in the north of the Shangdan Fault consists predominantly of amphibolite with or without garnet and amphibole-plagioclase gneiss and intercalated with lensiod blocks of garnet pyroxenite, where the famous Songshugou dunite body occurs (Fig. 1). Petrographic study reveals that garnet pyroxenite is the representative rock of early     

Photocatalytic effect of nature and modified V-bearing rutile

A natural rutile TiO2, which displays photocatalysis on degrading halohydrocarbon pollutants, was reported. The rutile contains up to 1.22% V2O5 (weight percent). Substitutions of Ti by V, as well as Fe, Cu and Zn, result in lattice distortions and defects. Grinding, heating and quenching modify the surface characteristics of ruffle, and consequently increase its photoactivity. It is found that the heating and quenching treatments enhance visible-light absorption of ruffle, especially at 1000 and 1100℃. Ground rutile is effective to degrade tetrachloroethylene and trichloroethylene. While, heating at 1000℃, and quenching at 1000 and 1100℃ distinctly improve degradation rate of samples. The special properties of the natural rutile have particular capabilities in photocatalytic oxidation, especially in degradation of halohydrocarbons.
