Bing Zhang,Wenmei Zhang,Runbo Ma,Xiaowei Zhang,Junfa Mao 한국전자통신연구원 2008 ETRI Journal Vol.30 No.2

In this paper, we present a novel oscillator (OSC) design. Bandpass filters, which can suppress harmonics, are incorporated into a co-design with an OSC to improve the OSC phase noise and harmonic rejection. The proposed OSC/bandpass filter co-design achieves a phase noise of - 130.1 dBc/Hz/600 kHz and harmonic rejection of 37.94 dB and 40.85 dB for the second and third harmonics, respectively, as compared to results achieved by the OSC before co-design of - 101.6 dBc/Hz/600 kHz and 21.28 dB and 19.68 dB. Good agreement between the measured and simulated results is achieved.

Cervical cancer is a serious public health problem in developing countries. We investigated possible risk factors for cervical cancer in rural areas of Wuhan China using a matched case-control study with 33 women diagnosed with cervical cancer and 132 healthy women selected from the same area as matched controls. A questionnaire, which included questions about general demography conditions, environmental and genetic factors, the first sexual intercourse, first marriage age, age at first pregnancy, pregnancy first child's age, female personal health history, social psychological factors, dietary habits, smoking and alcohol status and other living habits was presented to all participants. At the same time, HPV infection of every participant was examined in laboratory testing. Results showed HPV infection (P<0.000, OR=23.4) and pregnancy first child's age (P<0.000, OR=13.1) to be risk factors for cervical cancer. Menopause (P=0.003, OR=0.073) was a protective factor against cervical cancer. However, there was no indication of associations of environmental (drinking water, insecticide, disinfectant) genetic (cancer family history), or life-style factors (smoking status, alcohol status, physical training, sleep quality), including dietary habits (intake of fruit and vegetable, meat, fried food, bean products and pickled food) or social psychological factors with cervical cancer. The results suggest that the risk of cervical cancer in Chinese rural women may be associated with HPV infection, menopause and the pregnancy first child's age.

Responses of Buried Pipelines to Tunnelling Underneath Considering Effect of Gap Formation: an Analytical Approach

Bing-qiang Zhang,Qi-wen Chen,Feng-wen Lai,Fu-Quan Chen,Bin-bin Qi 대한토목학회 2024 KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering Vol.28 No.1

A gap formation underneath pipelines could be observed during tunneling beneath existing buried pipelines, thus altering the pipeline-soil interaction behavior. However, the most existing analytical approaches typically do a full contact assumption for brevity. For such purpose, we aim to present an analytical approach coupling the effect of gap formation underneath pipelines by considering the buried pipeline as an Euler-Bernoulli beam on tensionless foundation. The pipeline can be divided into three segments according to pipeline-soil interaction behavior, and then the bending behaviors of each segment are formulated. The deflection and bending moment of the pipeline caused by tunnelling underneath from the proposed approach are compared and validated with centrifuge testing data and existing analytical solutions. The effects of pipeline-soil stiffness ratio, pipeline buried depth, tunnel buried depth, tunneling induced volume loss, and tunnel-pipeline intersection angle on the pipeline responses are further discussed. The results indicate that gap formation underneath pipeline can be observed indeed for shallowly buried pipeline and/or larger pipeline-soil stiffness ratio. The proposed analytical approach provides a theoretical guideline to predict the responses of existing pipelines to tunnelling underneath.

Transcriptome analysis of the pheromone glands in Noorda blitealis reveals a novel AOX group of the superfamily Pyraloidea

Noorda blitealis (Lepidoptera: Pyraloidea: Crambidae) is a major defoliating pest of Moringa trees. Focusing on its mating and reproduction, here we sequenced and analyzed the transcriptome of its pheromone glands (PGs) with a combination of Illumina sequencing, bioinformatics and phylogenetics approaches, coupled with a genomebased analysis. Transcriptome sequencing led to the yields of approximately 162 million clean reads, which were assembled into 60,578 unigenes and 121,692 transcripts, respectively. From the transcriptome, totally 117 genes encoding eight pheromone biosynthesis enzymes and one pheromone degradation enzyme were identified, 90 of which had complete open reading frames. A comparative analysis between PGs and bodies (removing PGs) revealed a large number of differentially expressed genes, including 79 pheromone biosynthesis and degradation related genes. Of the identified genes, NbliDES12 belonging to the △11 desaturase group was likely to a strong candidate for the desaturation of sex pheromones in N. blitealis, as implied by phylogenetic analyses and expression profiles. Finally and most notably, through genome and transcriptome analyses we discovered, for the first time, a novel aldehyde oxidase 6 (AOX6) group of the superfamily Pyraloidea that have been slightly expanded by gene duplications. Moreover, each orthologous AOX group shared highly conserved gene structure. Together, this current study has characterized the genes associated with sex pheromone biosynthesis and degradation from the PG transcriptome of N. blitealis, and more importantly, identifies a novel AOX group of the Pyraloidea.

Analytical Study on the Transverse Internal Forces of Shield Tunnel Segments due to Adjacent Excavations in Soft Clays

Bing-qiang Zhang,Wei Huang,Fu-quan Chen,Qi-yun Wang 대한토목학회 2021 KSCE JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Vol.25 No.12

Deep excavations unavoidably cause the changes in stress and displacement of surrounding soils, which further generate additional internal forces on the adjacent existing tunnel segments, and compromise the performance and stability of the tunnels. In this study, two-stage analysis method is used to theoretically calculate the additional internal forces in the tunnel segments due to laterally adjacent excavation. Based on an empirical deformation curve of diaphragm walls, the excavation-induced stress in a linear elastic soil is formulated using source-sink imaging method. A distribution model of additional external load acting on the tunnel segments due to adjacent excavation is further established, and the additional internal forces in the tunnel segments under the corresponding additional loads are estimated using elastic equation method. Parametric studies are then conducted to investigate the effects of excavation procedure, buried depth of shield tunnel, and excavation-tunnel horizontal distance on the additional internal forces in the tunnel segments. The results show that the studied parameters have significant effect on the additional internal forces in the tunnel segments due to laterally adjacent excavation. When the excavation-tunnel horizontal distance is less than the excavation depth, the accompanied effect on the additional internal forces in the tunnel segments is highly sensitive. This study can provide theoretical insights into the estimation of tunnel segment responses due to laterally adjacent excavation.

Flow ripple reduction of an axial piston pump by a combination of cross-angle and pressure relief grooves: Analysis and optimization

Bing Xu,Shaogan Ye,Junhui Zhang,Chunfeng Zhang 대한기계학회 2016 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.30 No.6

This paper investigates the potential of flow ripple reduction of an axial piston pump by a combination of cross-angle and pressure relief grooves. A dynamic model is developed to analyze the pumping dynamics of the pump and validated by experimental results. The effects of cross-angle on the flow ripples in the outlet and inlet ports, and the piston chamber pressure are investigated. The effects of pressure relief grooves on the optimal solutions obtained by a multi-objective optimization method are identified. A sensitivity analysis is performed to investigate the sensitivity of cross-angle to different working conditions. The results reveal that the flow ripples from the optimal solutions are smaller using the cross-angle and pressure relief grooves than those using the cross-angle and ordinary precompression and decompression angles and the cross-angle can be smaller. In addition, when the optimal design is used, the outlet flow ripples sensitivity can be reduced significantly.
