Marine algal flora of Pengchia Yu and its special place in the marine phytogeography of Taiwan
No full textA total of 52 taxa of marine benthic algae is reported from Pengchia Yu, a remote islet located off northeastern Taiwan. Two taxa represent new records for the marine flora of Taiwan, three taxa show their range extension. This islet acts as a tropical refugium in a region that is widely known to have cold water floristic affinities. The effects of the sea surface-water temperature and current on the distribution of algae are also discussed.TR: CS9510874Source type: Electronic(1

Phonology of middle Mongolian in 'Da-da yi-yu'
No full textThis paper is concerned with the phones of middle Mongolian transcribed by Chinese characters in the glossary 『韃靼譯語(Da-da yi-yu)』. This text is the Mongolian part of the type 丙 of the glossaries ｢華夷譯語(Hua-yi yi-yu)｣ in which words of Chinese were contrasted with those of some foreign languages in Ming and Qing dynasties. 『韃靼譯語』was written for interpreters to study the Mongolian language. So it is expected that the phones of colloquial Mongolian were described more naturally in this text than in the other texts. In this paper, we reconstructed the phones of middle Mongolian in 『韃靼譯語』 and revealed the system of transcription using the phones of Chinese in 『重訂司馬温公等韻図経』 written in 1606. Consequently we found the following features peculiar to 『韃靼譯語』. (i) t, k, ɣ, l at the end of syllables are not transcribed frequently. (ii) ɣ preceded by l, r and ŋ is often transcribed by a Chinese consonant zero (影母). (iii) The phone ər of Chinese is used for the transcription of liquids. These features show that the author of 『韃靼譯語』 heard the phones of colloquial Mongolian and transcribed them naturally using the phones of his own Chinese, not artificially through written Mongolian
Localization of the powdery mildew resistance gene Pm07J126 in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
No full textPowdery mildew (Pm), caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is one of the most serious diseases of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in many regions of the world. Rapid loss of resistance caused by pathogen virulence requires continual improvement of Pm resistance through utilization of novel resistance genes. Pm07J126, in wheat line 07jian126, is a dominant resistance gene, conferring immunity to the prevailing Bgt population in Sichuan province. Previous studies showed that Pm07J126 might be derived from rye (Secale cereale L.) and that it was closely linked with SSR marker barc183. In this study, we localized Pm07J126 to the distal end of chromosome 6DS based on markers barc183 and cfd135. Collinearity analysis of wheat, Brachypodium and rice helped to identify an sequence tagged site marker in close proximity to barc183 in chromosome bin 6DS6-0.99-1.00. Marker Xcib9 that co-segregated with Pm07J126 should be useful for marker-assisted selection in wheat breeding programs

The etiology of esophageal cancer in high- and low- risk areas of Jiangsu province, China
No full text [Background]Esophageal cancer (EC) remains one of the most common and fatal malignancies worldwide. The geographic variation in EC occurrence is striking, and China is an area with one of the highest incidences of EC. A number of epidemiological studies have been conducted toward EC in the past decades, results suggested that tobacco smoking, alcohol drinking, unhealthy dietary factors and chronic injuries of the esophageal mucosa are important in the development of this disease. Genetic polymorphisms in enzymes involved in metabolism of carcinogens may also influence individual susceptibility. However, the effects of major lifestyle and hereditary risk factors on the development of EC remain poorly understood in China. Moreover, little attention has been paid to the etiological heterogeneity between similar areas with great risk gradient. [Methods]From 2003 to 2007, a large population-based case-control study of EC has been conducted in a selected high-risk area and a selected low-risk area of Jiangsu Province, one of the highest cancer incidence areas in China. In total, 1,520 cases and 3,879 controls were recruited. In this thesis, we evaluated the role of major lifestyle factors such as tobacco smoking, alcohol drinking and dietary factors, as well as inherited determinants including family history of cancer and genetic polymorphisms of alcohol-metabolizing related genes on the risk of EC. In addition, we investigated how much of the risk gradient between two areas could be explained by variation in the distributions of major risk factors. [Results] Tobacco smoking and alcohol drinking moderately increased the risk of EC, while the positive associations were only found among men but not among women. Dietary factors were observed to play important roles in the development of EC. Specific dietary habits i.e., fast eating speed, and hot eating and/or drinking substantially elevated EC risk and could explain more than 20% of EC cases each. High intake of salty foods and fried foods, low consumption of raw garlic were also observed to increase the risk of EC. In addition to environmental and lifestyle factors, we confirmed that a positive family history can significantly increase EC risk, and found the inheritance may modify the effect of some unhealthy lifestyles. Moreover, we further explored the relationship between EC and single nucleotide polymorphismsof ADH1B, ADH1C and ALDH2 genes. Results showed that the slow metabolizing ADH1B G allele, ADH1C G allele and ALDH2 A allele significantly increased EC risk among moderate-to-heavy alcohol drinkers, and a significant interaction was observed between ALDH2 gene and alcohol consumption. Lastly, we found that more than 60% of EC cases could be attributable to major lifestyle risk factors in the study population; furthermore, dissimilar distribution of several lifestyle factors, together with variations of hereditary factors may be largely responsible for the incidence difference between two study areas. [Conclusion]The findings in this thesis confirm that unhealthy lifestyles including smoking, alcohol drinking and some dietary factors are the predominant risk factors of EC in China, and a large proportion of incidence difference between regions at varying risk could be attributed to the different prevalence of lifestyle factors. As most of the identified risk factors are modifiable, these could be translated into risk reduction prevention programs in China, and a substantial proportion of new EC cases are expected to be prevented by eliminating or avoiding these risk factors in the population. </p

Block Principal Component Analysis With Nongreedy l(1)-Norm Maximization
No full text
Block principal component analysis with l(1)-norm (BPCA-L1) has demonstrated its effectiveness in a lot of visual classification and data mining tasks. However, the greedy strategy for solving the l(1)-norm maximization problem is prone to being struck in local solutions. In this paper, we propose a BPCA with nongreedy l(1)-norm maximization, which obtains better solutions than BPCA-L1 with all the projection directions optimized simultaneously. Other than BPCA-L1, the new algorithm has been evaluated against some popular principal component analysis (PCA) algorithms including PCA-L1 and 2-D PCA-L1 on a variety of benchmark data sets. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.</p
