不同轮伐期巨尾桉人工林的经济效益分析

【目的】探讨不同轮伐期对人工林经济效益的影响,为从经济视角科学确定人工林的合理轮伐期提供理论依据。【方法】以短(7a)、中(13a)、长(21a)轮伐期的南亚热带巨尾桉人工林为研究对象,对不同轮伐期巨尾桉人工林的蓄积量(Stand volume,SV)、营林成本、净现值(Net present value,NPV)和内部收益率(Internal rate of return,IRR)进行分析,揭示不同轮伐期对经济效益的影响。【结果】随着轮伐期的延长,巨尾桉人工林的蓄积量持续增长,7a、13a、21a轮伐期的蓄积量分别为144.95m~3/hm~2、346.97m~3/hm~2、553.69m~3/hm~2。随着轮伐期的延长,巨尾桉人工林净现值不断增加,在12a时达到最高值(30 297.61元/hm~2),之后逐渐降低,7a、21a轮伐期的净现值分别为17 239.86元/hm~2、22 008.59元/hm~2。内部收益率在13a开始趋近峰值(53.32%),明显高于7a时的39.29%。【结论】在南亚热带,巨尾桉人工林的轮伐期确定在13a左右较为适宜,既可实现经济效益最大化,又可大幅提升蓄积量。

目的:建立B细胞淋巴瘤/白血病BCL11A基因的定量检测方法,并分析其在B细胞恶性肿瘤中的表达水平。方法:利用实时定量RT-PCR分析B细胞淋巴瘤(18例)、B细胞性慢性淋巴细胞白血病(B-CLL,8例)、T细胞性急性淋巴细胞白血病(T-ALL,8例)和正常对照(15例)外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)中BCL11A基因的表达水平,以甘油醛-3-磷酸脱氢酶(GAPDH)基因作为内对照。结果:B-CLL组和B细胞淋巴瘤组患者PBMC中BCL11A表达水平均明显高于正常对照(P=0.000)和T-ALL组(P=0.000);T-ALL组和正常对照组BCL11A表达水平无显著差别(P=0.084);B-CLL组和B细胞淋巴瘤组BCL11A表达水平无显著差别(P=0.776)。在B细胞淋巴瘤不同的病例中,BCL11A表达水平有较大差异,其中最小值为0.04,最大值为9.70,中位值为1.00。结论:成功建立BCL11A基因的定量检测方法。     

信号交叉口人机混驾交通流速度控制策略建模

为分析人机混驾交通流下网联自动驾驶车辆（connected and autonomous vehicles,CAV）速度控制策略对交通流运行特征的影响,构建了考虑驾驶员对行车信息获取不确定性的人工驾驶车辆交叉口通行决策模型。提出考虑前车速度影响的自动驾驶速度控制策略,构建信号交叉口连续型元胞自动机更新规则,通过引入不同CAV渗透率、道路饱和度、控制区长度参数,研究CAV速度控制策略对信号交叉口交通流运行特征的影响。结果表明：CAV能显著提高交叉口通行能力,且车流通过交叉口区域的延误显著降低;同时速度控制策略的实施效果还受控制区长度的影响,呈现出随着控制区长度的增加,车均延误逐渐降低并趋于稳定。     

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association data and large-scale replication identifies additional susceptibility loci for type 2 diabetes

Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have identified multiple loci at which common variants modestly but reproducibly influence risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Established associations to common and rare variants explain only a small proportion of the heritability of T2D. As previously published analyses had limited power to identify variants with modest effects, we carried out meta-analysis of three T2D GWA scans comprising 10,128 individuals of European descent and approximately 2.2 million SNPs (directly genotyped and imputed), followed by replication testing in an independent sample with an effective sample size of up to 53,975. We detected at least six previously unknown loci with robust evidence for association, including the JAZF1 (P = 5.0 x 10(-14)), CDC123-CAMK1D (P = 1.2 x 10(-10)), TSPAN8-LGR5 (P = 1.1 x 10(-9)), THADA (P = 1.1 x 10(-9)), ADAMTS9 (P = 1.2 x 10(-8)) and NOTCH2 (P = 4.1 x 10(-8)) gene regions. Our results illustrate the value of large discovery and follow-up samples for gaining further insights into the inherited basis of T2D.     

Price–Dividend Ratios and Stock Price Predictability

A long‐standing puzzle to financial economists is the difficulty of outperforming the benchmark random walk model in out‐of‐sample contests. Using data from the USA over the period of 1872–2007, this paper re‐examines the out‐of‐sample predictability of real stock prices based on price–dividend (PD) ratios. The current research focuses on the significance of the time‐varying mean and nonlinear dynamics of PD ratios in the empirical analysis. Empirical results support the proposed nonlinear model of the PD ratio and the stationarity of the trend‐adjusted PD ratio. Furthermore, this paper rejects the non‐predictability hypothesis of stock prices statistically based on in‐ and out‐of‐sample tests and economically based on the criteria of expected real return per unit of risk.

A genome-wide association study in Han Chinese identifies new susceptibility loci for ankylosing spondylitis

To identify susceptibility loci for ankylosing spondylitis, we performed a two-stage genome-wide association study in Han Chinese. In the discovery stage, we analyzed 1,356,350 autosomal SNPs in 1,837 individuals with ankylosing spondylitis and 4,231 controls; in the validation stage, we analyzed 30 suggestive SNPs in an additional 2,100 affected individuals and 3,496 controls. We identified two new susceptibility loci between EDIL3 and HAPLN1 at 5q14.3 (rs4552569; P = 8.77 × 10(-10)) and within ANO6 at 12q12 (rs17095830; P = 1.63 × 10(-8)). We also confirmed previously reported associations in Europeans within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region (top SNP, rs13202464; P < 5 × 10(-324)) and at 2p15 (rs10865331; P = 1.98 × 10(-8)). We show that rs13202464 within the MHC region mainly represents the risk effect of HLA-B*27 variants (including HLA-B*2704, HLA-B*2705 and HLA-B*2715) in Chinese. The two newly discovered loci implicate genes related to bone formation and cartilage development, suggesting their potential involvement in the etiology of ankylosing spondylitis.     

A genome-wide association study in Chinese men identifies three risk loci for non-obstructive azoospermia

Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is one of the most severe forms of male infertility. Its pathophysiology is largely unknown, and few genetic influences have been defined. To identify common variants contributing to NOA in Han Chinese men, we performed a three-stage genome-wide association study of 2,927 individuals with NOA and 5,734 controls. The combined analyses identified significant (P < 5.0 × 10(-8)) associations between NOA risk and common variants near PRMT6 (rs12097821 at 1p13.3: odds ratio (OR) = 1.25, P = 5.7 × 10(-10)), PEX10 (rs2477686 at 1p36.32: OR = 1.39, P = 5.7 × 10(-12)) and SOX5 (rs10842262 at 12p12.1: OR = 1.23, P = 2.3 × 10(-9)). These findings implicate genetic variants at 1p13.3, 1p36.32 and 12p12.1 in the etiology of NOA in Han Chinese men.
