关于内接n点形对边交点的共线问题

内接于二阶曲线的2i点形,如果i为奇数,且i—1对对边的交点共线,则第i对对边的交点也在此直线上。如果i为偶数,且i—1对对边的交点共线。 (ⅰ)若连线A_(i-1)A_(2i-1)过A_1A_(i+1)×A_1A_(2i),则第ⅰ对对边的交点也在此直线上; (ⅱ)若连线A_(i-1)A_(2i-1)不过A_1A_(i+1)×A_iA_(2i),则第ⅰ对对边的交点不在此直线上。

Linkage of a nasopharyngeal carcinoma susceptibility locus to the HLA region

The frequency of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is nearly 100-fold higher in southern Chinese than in most European populations. Earlier studies have suggested that an increased risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is associated with specific haplotypes in the HLA region: relative risks slightly over twofold were found for haplotypes A2, Bw46 and the antigen B17. We now report a linkage study based on affected sib pairs which suggests that a gene closely linked to the HLA locus confers a greatly increased risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The maximum likelihood estimate is of a relative risk of approximately 21. The relationship between this suspected disease susceptibility gene (or genes) and known viral and environmental aetiological factors remains to be elucidated.     

Primate eta-globin DNA sequences and man's place among the great apes

Molecular studies indicate that chimpanzee and gorilla are the closest relatives of man (refs 1-7 and refs therein). The small molecular distances found point to late ancestral separations, with the most recent being between chimpanzee and man, as judged by DNA hybridization. Kluge and Schwartz contest these conclusions: morphological characters group a chimpanzee-gorilla clade with the Asian ape orang-utan in Kluge's cladistic study and with an orang-utan-human clade in Schwartz's study. Clearly, extensive sequencing of nuclear DNA is needed to resolve by cladistic analysis the branching order within Hominoidea. Towards this goal, we are sequencing orthologues of the primate psi eta-globin locus. Here, we compare the newly completed sequences of orang-utan and rhesus monkey with human, chimpanzee, gorilla, owl monkey, lemur and goat orthologues. Our findings substantially increase the evidence indicative of a human-chimpanzee-gorilla clade with ancestral separations around 8 to 6 Myr ago. We also verify that neutral hominoid DNA evolved at markedly retarded rates.     

An Indentation Method for Nanoprecision Measurement of Diamond Tool Edge Radius

In ductile mode cutting of brittle materials using di amond tools, such as ductile cutting of silicon and quartz for wafer fabrication , one of the key conditions for achieving ductile chip formation is to get the r ight ratio of tool cutting edge radius to the undeformed chip thickness. It has been shown that the undeformed chip thickness has to be in the order of nanomete rs and that the tool cutting edge radius has to be smaller than the undeformed c hip thickness. Therefore, nanoprecision measurement ...     

Pre-training Assessment Through the Web

Web-based training is growing quickly in popularit y for professionals in industrial organizations and large enterprises. The savings in cost and time are significant. The instructor-led trainings are bounded by time and place, not to mention the cost involved in traveling, accommodation and training venue. However, in the most online training courses, all trainees are given same training materials and teaching paradigms. The problem of differentia ting the trainees‘ abilities is the main concern. We n...     

N-trees as nestings: Complexity,similarity, and consensus

Interpreting a taxonomic tree as a set of objects leads to natural measures of complexity and similarity, and sets natural lower bounds on a consensus tree Interpretations differing as to the kind of objects constituting a tree lead to different measures and consensus Subset nesting is preferred over the clusters (strict consensus) and even the triads interpretations because of its superior expression of shared structure Algorithms for computing the complexity and similarity of trees, as well as a consensus index onto [0,1], are presented for this interpretation The full consensus is defined as the only tree which includes all the nestings shared in a profile of rival trees and whose clusters reflect only nestings shared in the profile The full consensus is proved to exist uniquely for each profile, and to equal the Adams consensusThe author is grateful for the many helpful comments on presentation from Frances McA Adams, William H E Day, and Christopher A Meacham
