Interpretation of Fashion Change through the Thoughts of Hong Kong Young Consumers

Fashion changes frequently, on monthly, seasonal to yearly basis. In different periods of time, people tried to use different theories to explain the concept of fashion change. Traditional views including trickle down theory, collective selection theory, mass market theory and subculture leadership theory. From the viewpoint of contemporary thoughts, symbolic interactionist theory of fashion and the power of the fashion industry were discussed and used to examine fashion images prevailing in Hong Kong. Hong Kong young consumers were selected as study samples. Focus group interviews and questionnaire survey were used as qualitative and quantitative method. Results shows that to accept fashion change, status (working or studying) had influence in interpreting fashion images. In addition, male and female students had different opinion on selected statements of the symbolic interactionist theory of fashion but no difference was found between working subjects. Marketing implications are discussed with refere     

杂多钨酸及其盐对碳钢的缓蚀作用

采用失重法研究了部分杂多化合物在水介质中对碳钢的缓蚀作用。实验结果表明，所研究的１１种杂多化合物对碳钢均具有一定的缓蚀作用。其中，Ｎａ８Ｈ［ＰＷ９Ｏ３４］·ｘＨ２Ｏ和Ｎａ１０［α－ＳｉＷ９Ｏ３４］·ｘＨ２Ｏ等缺位化合物的缓蚀效果较好，它们的最佳缓蚀浓度分别为１０５０～１１５０ｍｇ／Ｌ和５００～６００ｍｇ／Ｌ。从杂多化合物的性质及实验过程所发生的现象推测，所研究的杂多化合物为复合型缓蚀剂     

DNA-dependent protein kinase is not required for the p53-dependent response to DNA damage.

Damage to DNA in the cell activates the tumour-suppressor protein p53, and failure of this activation leads to genetic instability and a predisposition to cancer. It is therefore crucial to understand the signal transduction mechanisms that connect DNA damage with p53 activation. The enzyme known as DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) has been proposed to be an essential activator of p53, but the evidence for its involvement in this pathway is controversial. We now show that the p53 response is fully functional in primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts lacking DNA-PK: irradiation-induced DNA damage in these defective fibroblasts induces a normal response of p53 accumulation, phosphorylation of a p53 serine residue at position 15, nuclear localization and binding to DNA of p53. The upregulation of p53-target genes and cell-cycle arrest also occur normally. The DNA-PK-deficient cell line SCGR11 contains a homozygous mutation in the DNA-binding domain of p53, which may explain the defective response by p53 reported in this line. Our results indicate that DNA-PK activity is not required for cells to mount a p53-dependent response to DNA damage.

水泥浆胶凝期间套管柱受力和形变规律

套管柱注水泥结束后 ,由于水化热的作用使水泥浆在胶凝过程中产生升温现象 ,并随之失重。温度、压力的共同作用会使套管柱发生很大的形变。随着水泥的固化 ,这种形变也会被固结在水泥封固段内 ,影响其使用性能。在调研大量资料的基础上 ,利用数值计算方法得到了水泥胶凝过程中温度变化的动态数据。对某油田实测数据进行了统计分析 ,得出了水泥浆失重时的压力计算公式。根据有限元理论 ,推导出套管段长度与温度、压力、水泥及套管表面剪切应力之间的关系式。在此基础上 ,计算得到了水泥浆胶凝过程中套管的动态变化。     

Possible involvement of indolamines in the glycogenic effect of the convulsant methionine sulfoximine in rat brain.

The aim of the present investigation was to look for the mechanisms causing disturbances in carbohydrate metabolism during the action of the epileptogenic agent methionine sulfoximine. The levels of glucose, glycogen, and indolamines were measured in seven different regions of rat brain. Methionine sulfoximine induced a decrease in serotonin level which was roughly dose-dependent. There were no obvious changes in tryptophan and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic levels in any area. Methionine sulfoximine induced the known increase in glucose and glycogen levels. The direct precursor of serotonin. 5-hydroxytryptophan, and benserazide (a decarboxylase inhibitor) were then injected into rats in association with methionine sulfoximine. In this case, methionine sulfoximine failed to induce seizures. Moreover, the serotonin level was unchanged and the carbohydrate content did not significantly increase. There was only a rise in 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid level. This work shows a striking parallelism between serotonin decrease and glycogen increase.
