Pyruvate kinase is necessary for Brucella abortus full virulence in BALB/c mouse

Brucellosis, caused by a facultative intracellular pathogen Brucella, is one of the most prevalent zoonosis worldwide. Host infection relies on several uncanonical virulence factors. A recent research hotpot is the links between carbon metabolism and bacterial virulence. In this study, we found that a carbon metabolism-related pyruvate kinase (Pyk) encoded by pyk gene (locus tag BAB_RS24320) was associated with Brucella virulence. Determination of bacterial growth curves and resistance to environmental stress factors showed that Pyk plays an important role in B. abortus growth, especially under the conditions of nutrition deprivation, and resistance to oxidative stress. Additionally, cell infection assay showed that Pyk is necessary for B. abortus survival and evading fusion with lysosomes within RAW264.7 cells. Moreover, animal experiments exhibited that the Pyk deletion significantly reduced B. abortus virulence in a mouse infection model. Our results elucidated the role of the Pyk in B. abortus virulence and provided information for further investigation of Brucella virulence associated carbon metabolism.     

A peptide of foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype Asia1 generating a neutralizing antibody response, and an immunostimulatory peptide

The epitopes of the capsid of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) play important roles in the construction of highly immunogenic subunit vaccines. However few epitopes have been found for FMDV serotype Asia1. In this study we screened for epitopes of the VP1 and VP2 proteins of FMDV serotype Asia1 isolate, YNBS/58. Fragments consisting of amino acids 133-163 of VP1 and amino acids 1-33 of VP2 contained epitopes, and both induced lymphoproliferation in guinea pigs. Only the VP1 fragment induced neutralizing antibodies but the VP2 peptide dramatically increased the neutralizing antibody response induced by the VP1 peptide.     

A Study of the Vertical Vibration of the 4200 Thick Plate Rolling Mills

In this paper,the mill stand and the rolled piece were studied as a system. Based on the disoreted masses and the deformation of bending curve of the roller and roll housing, according to Rayleigh method,the equivalent mass and and the equivalent stiffness of the mode were solved,and set up a multiple degree of freedom vibration dynamic model. And also did theoretical analysis and calculation with an exapmle of the 4200 thick plate rolling mills.     

THE STUDY OF STRAIN FATIGUE CRACK PROPAGATION BEHAVOURS OF VANADIUM BEARING HSLA STEEL

In this paper, the strain fatigue: crack propagation rates of vanadium bearing HSLA steel with different micro-structures are measured under constant load conditions, and the relationship between the crack propagation rate and the microstructures of steel is also studied.     

A Study on the Mathematical Models for Two Dimensional Guillotine Cullting-stock

Based on the analysis and study on some existed models for two-dimensional Guillotine Cutting-Stock problem, it is pointed out that some kinds of the models may miss some good cutting patterns,and some may result in inadequate solutions because of only considering the patterns with the smallest waste. A kind of revised two-dimensional cutting-stock models are developed,which transform the two-dimensional problem into the one-dimensional one using the dimension-decreasing heuristic method and whose initial patterns are considered comprehensively. In this kind of models, not only the least waste,but also the other constraints,such as the demands and the relative area of the order plates are considered.     

A Study on the Practical Algorithm for One Dimensional Equal Stock Cutting Problem

Based on alalysing the mathematical models for one dimensional equal stock cutting problem,a knapsack column generation algorithm has been constructed,which is a successive approximate algorithm for the practical engineering.In the end of this paper,some computational examples have been presented,which show that the convergence and optimum results of the algorithm are quite good.

几个外引水稻品种在河南沿黄地区的表现

通过对几个外引水稻品种在河南沿黄地区引种试验，表明杂交稻生长速度快，抽穗较晚，但分蘖力强、成穗率高、穗粒数多，产量的增产潜力较大。除金世纪外其他几个品种与豫粳6号相比基本持平，但产量也有不同程度的提高。但金世纪品质与豫粳6号相比有较大的提高，产量也提高。     

散叶烤房系列研究 2.装炕技术研究

为解决散叶烤房烟叶堆放问题，采用插板式装烟法和自然堆积法研究了散叶烤房的装炕技术，结果表明：散叶烤房装烟时以自然堆积法，稍稍用力推挤，单层密度保持在75~85kg/m3为宜，并提出了相应的采收和装炕技术要点，即下部叶适时早收，中部叶尚熟至适熟采收，上部叶充分成熟采收。装炕时烟束要叠放整齐，叶片背面靠向界墙方向，正面面向装烟者，保持叶片与装烟板水平面夹角70~80°，一层靠一层。
