Rhinovirus contamination was found in the gloves, cuffs of protective wear, inner surface of biological safety cabinet (BSC) windows, and trash handles. Remarkably, high contamination was found on the inner walls of the centrifuge and the inner surface of centrifuge tube casing in the rotor. Spilling infectious medium on the surface of centrifuge tubes was found to contribute to contamination of centrifuge surfaces. Exposure to sodium hypochlorite containing no less than 0.2 g/L available chlorine decontaminated the surface of the centrifuge tubes from Rhinovirus after 2 min.

METHODS: Rats with cirrhosis induced by carbon tetrachloride were randomly divided into two groups, one(n=13) receiving 0.5mg·kg -1 per day of N-G-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, for 10 days, whereas the other group (n=13) and control (n=10) rats were

Dif- ficulties lie in the complex appearance of the bark surfaces which are largely determined by their mesostructures. Un- like traditional physical based methods, in this paper, we present an appearance-based method to model tree

The formal concept analysis is adopted as a semantic analysis method to group emails containing the same keywords to concepts. The fuzzy membership functions are used to rank the concepts based on the features of the emails, such as the senders, recipients, time span, and frequency of emails in the concepts. The highly ranked concepts are then identified as email topics. Experimental results on the Enron email dataset illustrate the effectiveness of the method. Ce document présente une méthode de détermination des sujets dans des courriels. L'analyse formelle de concepts est adoptée comme méthode d'analyse sémantique pour associer les courriels contenant les mêmes mots-clés à des concepts. Les fonctions d'appartenance floue sont utilisées pour classer les concepts selon les caractéristiques des courriels, par exemple l'expéditeur, le destinataire, l'intervalle de temps et la fréquence des courriels dans les concepts. Les concepts de rang supérieur sont ensuite indiqués comme sujets des courriels. Les résultats expérimentaux tirés du corpus de courriels d'Enron illustrent l'efficacité de cette méthode.

The projection vectors of LDA is usually achieved by maximizing the between-class scatter and simultaneously minimizing the within-class scatter of the data set. However, in practice, there is usually a lack of sufficient labeled data, which makes the

Research paper thumbnail of A study of finding relationships between reservoir properties and oil productivity for the cold production

2011 19th International Conference on Geoinformatics, 2011

ABSTRACT Cold production is a method for enhancing primary production from heavy oil reservoirs. ... more ABSTRACT Cold production is a method for enhancing primary production from heavy oil reservoirs. Reservoir conditions, perforation and completion technology are the key issues to affect production rate of cold production. In the same condition of perforation and completion, the reservoir properties controls production rate of cold production. In this paper, the reservoir characteristics in the Sparky and Lloydminster formations of sixty-three wells of Alberta Lloydminster block are evaluated through core measurements and detailed petrophysical analyses. The distributions of reservoir porosity, permeability and effective thickness are displayed using GIS software. Investigation of the relationships between reservoir properties and productivities of cold production indicates that porosity, clay content and effective thickness mainly contribute to productivity for sandstone heavy oil reservoir. However, effective thickness is not one of the key factors on productivity for siltstone reservoir. The result will provide a foundation for reservoir simulation in heavy oil exploitation.

The IL-1ra segment was obtained from intermediate vector pBV220-IL-1ra. By overlap extension PCR, the fusion gene IL-1ra-Fcepsilon was cloned, then inserted into the eukaryotic expression plasmid pIRES2-EGFP to obtain a recombinant expression plasmid pIRES2-EGFP-IL-1ra-Fcepsilon. The recombinant expression plasmid was transfected into 293T cells using lipofectamin and instillated into the rat lung through trachea. The expression of IL-1ra-Fcepsilon was identified by Western blot, RT-PCR, and this protein could inhibit the activity of IL-1 in vitro. Green fluorescent protein could be detected in the transfected 293T cells and the rat lungs at different times. The research paved the way for the gene therapy of allergy asthma.
