This study presents a power distribution control scheme for a three-phase interleaved parallel DC/DC converter in a battery energy storage system. To extend battery life and increase the power equalization rate, a control method based on the nth order of the state of charge (SoC) is proposed for the charging and discharging processes. In the discharging process, the battery sets with high SoC deliver more power, whereas those with low SoC deliver less power. Therefore, the SoC between each battery set gradually decreases. However, in the two-stage charging process, the battery sets with high SoC absorb less power, and thus, a power correction algorithm is proposed to prevent the power of each particular battery set from exceeding its rated power. In the simulation performed with MATLAB/Simulink, results show that the proposed scheme can rapidly and effectively control the power distribution of the battery sets in the charging and discharging processes.

The mir-155 family is not only involved in a diversity of cancers, but also as a regulator of the immune system. However, the evolutionary history of this family is still unclear. The present study indicates that mir-155 evolved independently with lineage-specific gain of miRNAs. In addition, arm switching has occurred in the mir-155 family, and alternative splicing could produce two different lengths of ancestral sequences, implying the alternative splicing can also drive evolution for intragenic miRNAs. Here we screened validated target genes and immunity-related proteins, followed by analyzation of the mir-155 family function by high-throughput methods like the gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Eneyclopedin of Genes and Genemes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis. The high-throughput analysis showed that the CCND1 and EGFR genes were outstanding in being significantly enriched, and the target genes cebpb and VCAM1 and the protein SMAD2 were also vital in mir-155-related immune reponse activities. Therefore, we conclude that the mir-155 family is highly conserved in evolution, and CCND1 and EGFR genes might be potential targets of mir-155 with regard to progress of cancers, while the cebpb and VCAM1 genes and the protein SMAD2 might be key factors in the mir-155 regulated immune activities.

본 논문은 중국의 지역별 인적자본의 추계와 비교를 목적으로 하고 있다. 인적자본의 추계는 교육연한법을 이용하고 있다. 이는 교육 기간에 따라 인적자본의 스톡이 증가한다는 것을 가정하고 있다. 본 논문에서의 교육은 초등학교, 중학교, 고등학교, 전문대학 이상을 포함하고 있다. 초등학교의 교육연한은 6년, 중학교는 3년, 고등학교는 3년 그리고 전문대학 이상은 4년으로 설정하고 있다. 본 연구는 1998-2021년의 중국의 31개 지역별 자료를 이용하고 있다. 본 연구의 분석결과는 세 가지로 요약할 수 있다. 첫째는 국가 수준에서 1998년부터 2021년 기간 동안 중국의 인적자본은 매년 증가하고 있다. 이는 중국의 전반적인 교육 수준이 높아지고 있음을 의미한다. 둘째는 31개 지역별 인적자본의 추계 결과에 의하면 인적자본의 크기와 지역경제발전과는 일정한 관계가 있다. 즉 인적자본의 크기가 클수록 지역경제발전 수준이 상대적으로 높다. 셋째는 4대 지역의 비교에 의하면 여전히 지역별 격차가 존재하고 있다. This paper focuses on the estimation and comparison of human capital in various regions in China. At the regional level, China’s human capital is divided into four regions to compare the development of human capital among different regions using the education years method. This paper first presents a comparison of the number educated population in 31 regions in China, and infers the education level of each regions based on the number of educated population. The next step is to use the education years method to calculate the human capital situation of each regions and compare the differences in human capital through the education level between different regions. This paper uses data from 1998 to 2021. The number of students with primary school, junior school, senior high school, college and above education in the population is used as the calculation indicator. The empirical analysis results found that there are different impacts in different regions and periods. At the regional level, the human capital stock in the Eastern region of China is the highest. Although there has been growth in the Western region, the population with bachelor’s degree or above is relatively small, indicating a lack of high-level talents in the Western region, and then low stock of human capital. In this paper, although there is a gap in human capital between regions in China and an imbalance in education levels, it is much less than before. The analysis shows that sustained investment in education is needed. In other words, in order to increase China’s human capital, more investment in education and better quality education policies in addition to material investment are needed.

Effect of Global Warming on Chloride Ion Erosion Risks for Offshore RC Bridges in China

Hui-bing Xie,Yuan-Feng Wang,Jian Gong,Ming-hui Liu,Xiao-Yuan Yang 대한토목학회 2018 KSCE JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Vol.22 No.9

Chloride ion penetration, which leads to corrosion of steel reinforcement, is the leading cause of offshore reinforced concrete bridge deterioration. Global warming would accelerate the process of chloride ion penetration and then structural degradation. In China, durability design code for concrete structures has been issued in 2008, and some thresholds of design parameters have been specified to mitigate corrosion in concrete bridge. However, influence of global warming on structure durability was not considered in the issued code. This would overestimate the durability of concrete structures. In this paper, a reliability based method was adopted to evaluate the influence of climate change on the durability of offshore RC bridges considering the acceleration of chloride ion penetration caused by temperature rise. Two climate change scenarios according to IPCC report were considered to define the global warming. A baseline scenario, in which the mean average temperature equals to that of the year 2000, were defined. It is found that the amount of chloride ion on the surface of reinforcing steel bar in the global warming scenarios are 6%-15% higher than that of structure in the baseline scenario. Meanwhile, the probability of corrosion initiation and corrosion damage increased also. In 2100, structures in environmental categories III-C and III-F, designed according to Chinese codes, can no longer adapt the impact of climate change on structure. Comparison of reliability of improved and pre-improved structure was conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed improvement measures.

SRAP and ISSR Analyses of Genetic Diversity and Relationships in Orchardgrass

Bing Zeng,Xinquan Zhang,Wengang Xie 한국초지조사료학회 2009 한국초지조사료학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2009 No.08

SRAP (Sequence-related amplified polymorphism) and ISSR (Inter simple sequence repeat) molecualr markers were used to evaluate the levels and patterns of genetic diversity among 45 collections of orchardgrass from four continents. Twenty-one primer combinations were used and 480 bands were produced in SRAP, of which 405(84.38%) were polymorphic. On the other hand, twelve primers were used to generate a total of 116 bands in ISSR, of which 116(87.07%) were polymorphic. The coefficient range of genetic similarity was 0.6248-0.9686 and 0.6116-0.9231 respectively. Based on cluster and principal component analysis on the genetic characteristics, all collections could be divided into four groups and five groups in two markers, respectively. According to the analysis of genetic diversity and relationships, the appropriate strategies for collection and conservation of germplasm resources also were discussed and scientific breeding with far genetic relationship materials in orchardgrass were suggested.

Radiation-induced side effects on normal tissue are determined largely by the capacity of cells to repair radiation-induced DNA damage. X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) plays an important role in the repair of DNA single-strand breaks. Studies have shown conflicting results regarding the association between XRCC1 gene polymorphisms (Arg399Gln, Arg194Trp, -77T>C and Arg280His) and radiation-induced side effects in patients undergoing whole breast radiotherapy. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to determine the predictive value of XRCC1 gene polymorphisms in this regard. Analysis of the 11 eligible studies comprising 2,199 cases showed that carriers of the XRCC1 399 Gln allele had a higher risk of radiation-induced toxicity than those with the 399 ArgArg genotype in studies based on high-quality genotyping methods [Gln vs. ArgArg: OR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.20-2.86] or in studies with mixed treatment regimens of radiotherapy alone and in combination with chemotherapy [Gln vs. ArgArg: OR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.09-2.23]. The XRCC1 Arg399Gln variant allele was associated with mixed acute and late adverse reactions when studies on late toxicity only were excluded [Gln allele vs. Arg allele: OR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.00-1.49]. In contrast, the XRCC1 Arg280His variant allele was protective against radiation-induced toxicity in studies including patients treated by radiotherapy alone [His allele vs. Arg allele: OR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.35-0.96]. Our results suggest that XRCC1 399Gln and XRCC1 280Arg may be independent predictors of radiation-induced toxicity in post-surgical breast cancer patients, and the selection of genotyping method is an important factor in determining risk factors. No evidence for any predictive value of XRCC1 Arg194Trp and XRCC1 -77T>C was found. So, larger and well-designed studies might be required to further evaluate the predictive value of XRCC1 gene variation on radiation-induced side effects in patients undergoing whole breast radiotherapy.

Differences in the Levels of Gastric Cancer Risk Factors Between Nanjing and Minqing Counties, China

Xie, Xiang-Quan,Zheng, Kui-Cheng,Wu, Bing-Shan,Chen, Tie-Hui,Lai, Shan-Rong,Lin, Zai-Sheng,Aoki, Kazuo The Korean Society for Preventive Medicine 2014 Journal of Preventive Medicine and Public Health Vol.47 No.5

Objectives: In Fujian Province, China, gastric cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality among all malignant tumors. Nanjing county and Minqing county are located in inland Fujian and have similar general demographics. However, the adjusted mortality rate of gastric cancer in Minqing was found to be much higher than that in Nanjing. We sought to explore factors associated with this increased risk of gastric cancer between the two counties. Methods: We recruited 231 and 224 residents from Nanjing and Minqing, respectively, and analyzed differences between their dietary habits, Helicobacter pylori infection rates, and concentrations of serum pepsinogen I, pepsinogen II, gastrin-17, and ratio of pepsinogen I:II. Results: Subjects in Minqing had more first-degree relatives who had been diagnosed with upper gastrointestinal tumor, more unhealthy dietary habits, a higher Helicobacter pylori positive rate, and greater proportion of abnormal serum gastrin-17 than those in Nanjing did. Conclusions: The factors that differed between these two counties might indicate that residents in Minqing have a higher risk for developing gastric cancer than those in Nanjing do.

Collusion Suspicion Among Bidders of Construction Supervision Projects in China: Based on Bidding Big Data and Complex Networks

Bing Wang,Jiwei Zhu,Jiancang Xie,Biao Wang 대한토목학회 2023 KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering Vol.27 No.1

Collusion is unethical and anti-competitive behavior, which has become a prominent issue in the construction industry. However, existing studies were unable to identify the degree of collusion suspected for each bidder, which has little significance to regulators. Therefore, we develop a bidder network for the supervision project in Shaanxi Province, China, and analyze the behavioral characteristics of bidders from three levels. The results indicate that the bidding network is low-density, scale-free, and small-world at the macro level. The possibility of potential collusion is extremely high among supervisory enterprises. At the meso level, the bidder network can be divided into multiple communities and subgraphs with a high degree of cohesion, and the level of conspiracy suspicion was divided into four categories. At the micro level, the number of co-bidding among the bidders with the highest suspicion was extremely high, with higher winning bid times and significantly abnormal regularity of the bidding price, which is typical of bid-winning rotation practice. These results provide an effective method for Chinese government regulators, which are conducive to the formation of a good collusion regulatory system worldwide.
