Detection of a new mutation (1467-A) for the pedigree withmucopolysaccharidosis type Ⅱ from a Chinese family

Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) is a disabling, fatal monogenic disease caused by abnormal metabolism of the mucopolysaccharides[1]. Gene mutation is the basic cause of MPS II and investigation of the IDS gene muta-tion is the premise for prenatal gene diagnosis and gene therapy. MPS II is worldwide distributed with high inci-dence and serious results. To study the IDS gene of Chi-nese MPS II patients is important not only in carrying out one-family policy but also in upraisi…

由菲舍尔信息导出的科学一个统一体

本书的目的即为了表明信息是一切科学领域的根源。利用EPI(极限物理信息)的概念可以导出各类领域的科学问题。这里的物理信息被定义为在任何科学现象的观察中所遇到的菲舍尔信息的损失。这本书实际相当于“由菲舍尔信息导出的物理”一书的第二版，     

The Impact of Nanocomposite Materials on Lithium Ion Batteries

1 Results Lithiumion batteries have become the power source of choice for consumer electronic devices such as cell phones and laptop computers due to their high energy density and long cycle life. In addition,lithium-ion batteries are expected to be a major breakthrough in the hybrid vehicle field.Despite their successful commercial application,further performance improvement of the lithium ion battery is still required.Nanomaterials and nanotechnologies can lead to a new generation of lithium secondary batteries.Here we present recent progress on nanocomposite materials and nanotechniques in our studies for anode materials of lithium rechargeable batteries.     

反中微子天文学和地球物理学

如果梦想在天上和地球上得到更多的东西,单单靠电磁探测是不充分的。对于那些视觉上是模糊的源,或者它们发射的能量主要不是以光子形式时,必须发展新的探测方法。这曾经推动了中微子天文学的发展,代表性的就是太阳内部发射中微子的探测。我们虽然已经认识到利用弱相互作用来探测天体物理各种源的有用性,但是反中微子探测的潜力尚没有广泛的探索过,本文的目的就是探索反中微子的探测。

乔治·乌仑贝克(Georege Uhlenbeck),逝世于1988年10月31日;他主要是以电子自旋概念的创始人之一而闻名于世的.这一概念是他与古兹米特(S.A.Goud-smit)密切合作的成果;这一合作曾得到他们在莱顿大学(荷兰)的老师保罗·埃伦菲斯特(Paul Ehrenfest)的鼓励和促进。乌仑贝克和古兹米特的这一概念是     

Investigation on Bending and Creasing of Woven Fabrics under Low Curvature

Under the assumption of semi - circular form for a fabric bend, creasing of fabric strips and compression of fabric loops are analyzed by neglecting the structural complexity of the fabric. The relationship between the creasing force and deformation are deduced using an energy method and solutions are given for a linearly elastic material with constant internal frictional constraint. The agreements between the theoretical predictions and experimental results are very satisfactory.     

Pneumococcal genome sequencing tracks a vaccine escape variant formed through a multi-fragment recombination event

Streptococcus pneumoniae ('pneumococcus') causes an estimated 14.5 million cases of serious disease and 826,000 deaths annually in children under 5 years of age(1). The highly effective introduction of the PCV7 pneumococcal vaccine in 2000 in the United States(2,3) provided an unprecedented opportunity to investigate the response of an important pathogen to widespread, vaccine-induced selective pressure. Here, we use array-based sequencing of 62 isolates from a US national monitoring program to study five independent instances of vaccine escape recombination(4), showing the simultaneous transfer of multiple and often large (up to at least 44 kb) DNA fragments. We show that one such new strain quickly became established, spreading from east to west across the United States. These observations clarify the roles of recombination and selection in the population genomics of pneumococcus and provide proof of principle of the considerable value of combining genomic and epidemiological information in the surveillance and enhanced understanding of infectious diseases.
