摘要：从集计角度分析了运行多种交通方式的城市交通系统。利用目前已受关注的宏观基本图(简称MFD),描述城市交通的整体特性。以旧金山某区为例,使用现有数据,通过仿真论证如何应用MFD监管真实交通网络。然后讨论了同一路网中不同交通方式间如何相互作用,以及如何将这些作用纳入包含多种交通方式路网的MFD。研究得到的两个主要结论是:1)证实了已有研究猜想——对市区拥挤区域限行,可提高包括被限行者在内的所有出行者的机动性;2)为公交方式提供专用道路空间可提高所有交通方式的可达性。

摘要：AIM:To design and validate broad-range 16S rRNA primers for use in high throughput sequencing to classify bacteria isolated from the human foregut ***:A foregut microbiome dataset was constructed using 16S rRNA gene sequences obtained from oral,esophageal,and gastric microbiomes produced by Sanger sequencing in previous studies represented by 219 bacterial *** primers evaluated were from the European rRNA *** assess the effect of sequence length on accuracy of classification,16S rRNA genes of various lengths were created by trimming the full length *** spanning various hypervariable regions were selected to simulate the amplicons that would be obtained using possible primer *** sequences were compared with full length 16S rRNA genes for accuracy in taxonomic classification using online software at the Ribosomal Database Project (RDP).The universality of the primer set was evaluated using the RDP 16S rRNA database which is comprised of 433 306 16S rRNA genes,represented by 36 ***:Truncation to 100 nucleotides(nt)downstream from the position corresponding to base 28 in the Escherichia coli 16S rRNA gene caused misclassification of 87(39.7%)of the 219 sequences,compared with misclassification of only 29(13.2%)sequences with truncation to 350 *** 350-nt sequence reads within various regions of the 16S rRNA gene,the reverse read of an amplicon generated using the 343F/798R primers had the least(8.2%)effect on *** comparison,truncation to 900 nt mimicking single pass Sanger reads misclassified 5.0%of the 219 *** 343F/798R amplicon accurately assigned 91.8%of the 219 sequences at the species *** by abundance of the species in the esophageal dataset,the 343F/798R amplicon yielded similar classification accuracy without a significant loss in species coverage(92%).Modification of the 343F/798R primers to 347F/803R increased their universality among foregut ***

摘要：The use of Animal House Facilities of IPEN-CNEN/SP （Nuclear and Energetic Research Institute-National Nuclear Energy Commission/SP, Brazil） has provided rats and mice with controlled sanitary quality for research and quality control in the production of radiopharmaceuticals lots, produced at IPEN, following rules of CONCEA-Brazilian National Council for Animal Experimentation Control and approved in CEUA （Ethics Committee on the Use of Animals）, before they are sent to hospitals and clinics spread out in Brazil, for use in nuclear medicine. The production and the supply of high quality laboratory animals have fundamental importance for the accomplishment of vanguard scientific research, with reproducibility and universality. The quality of those animals depends, largely, on the available facilities for their production and lodging, to assure the demanded sanitary control and animal＇s welfare, in agreement with the ethical principles that control the activity. Therefore, the facilities design is of vital importance so that the mentioned requirements can be reached. Nevertheless, pigs and miniature pigs have gained importance as large animal models in medicine. With their size, organ capacity, and physiology resembling in several aspects that of humans, pigs are well suited for preclinical experiments and long-term safety studies. Minipigs will be used for preclinical testing of radiopharmaceuticals and assays radioactive materials for cardiac tests. This paper describes the premises and preliminary activities that have been performed at IPEN for the design of new Animal House Facilities dedicated to keeping minipigs taking into account fundamental aspects such as： animal＇s welfare, sanitation, genetic, in agreement with the ethical principles that control the activity and environmental concerns.

摘要：英国桑格研究院的研究人员和他们的合作者们最近发现了帮助阻止前列腺癌、皮肤癌和乳腺癌发育的新基因。这些基因能够与众所周知的肿瘤抑制基因PTEN配合发挥作用，该研究还发现这些基因与人类前列腺肿瘤存在相关性。相关研究结果发表在国际学术期刊Nature Genetics上。该研究揭示了一些参与癌症发育的新途径，这些基因有望成为治疗PTEN突变癌症的新药物靶点。这项研究开发的一些方法也可以用于发现其他协同抑制癌症生长的基因。
