亚太地区的安全稳定与俄中利益

亚太地区出现一个全新的局面。一方面,区域内的国际合作正在拓展,一个能够带来区域稳定和安全并得到普遍认同的体系正在形成。另一方面,亚太国家之间争夺地区内影响力的对抗和竞争的危险性日益加重,甚至有可能导致公开冲突并阻碍区域一体化的进程。为此,继续构建一个囊括地区内所有国家的,以合作、互信、对等安全为基础的新机制十分重要。亚太地区的发展直接影响俄罗斯联邦的利益,俄罗斯倡导要确保地区的稳定和安全,以及囊括所有亚太国家的建设性合作。近年来,俄罗斯政府特别重视促进东西伯利亚及远东地区的经济发展,该地区是俄罗斯实现亚太地区一体化的一个重要载体。开展同中国的合作,进一步开发俄罗斯远东地区,对于俄罗斯贯彻经济战略、实现经济现代化、融入亚太地区的经济空间,都具有原则性的重要意义。     

猪水泡病病毒和科赛奇B_5病毒的比较电泳检查

科赛奇B_5病毒和猪水泡病病毒的纯化悬液是经过收获和细胞团块病毒的纯化制备的。用纯化的N和H抗原级份(完整颗粒和中空颗粒)进行交叉免疫电泳。曾计算了三株猪水泡病病毒(UKG 72、HK 71和Italy 66)和二株科赛奇B_5病毒(Faulkner和8068)N抗原级份的相对迁移速度(RMV)。科赛奇B_5病毒的标准株(Faulkner)具有与最先分离到的猪水泡病病毒株Italy 66几乎一致的低相对迁移速度。一株科赛奇B_5最近分离株(8068,1973在英国分离到的)具有与1972年在英国分离到的猪水泡病病毒UKG 72株十分近似的比较高的相对迁移速度。同样,猪水泡病病毒香港毒株(HK 71)也具有高相对迁移速度值。最后讨论了这些观察结果与猪水泡病的出现之间的联系。     

骆驼的原虫疾病

在所有养骆驼的国家,锥虫感染都引起严重的发病率(达30％)和死亡率(约3％),其中最重要的是苏拉病,即伊氏锥虫(Trypanosoma evansi)感染。这是Evans氏于1880年在印度首先发现和研究的。在非洲,Cazalbou氏早在1896年也曾在马里的Timbuktu地方研究过此病。在苏联,由柯雅二氏锥虫T.ninae kohl—yakimov)在双峰驼所致的锥虫病称作“Su—auru”,这是一个哈萨克名称,意思是“来源于水的疾病”。锥虫病是乍得的骆驼     

Hair as a specimen to document tetramethylene disulfotetramine exposure

Tetramethylene disulfotetramine (tetramine) is a rodenticide that has been banned for many years in China. Since 2005, inhabitants of a village in the Henan Province have been suffering from grand mal seizures. To investigate the possibility of tetramine as the cause, we developed a method to determine tetramine in human hair. Sample preparation involved external decontamination, frozen pulverization, and ultrasonication in 2 mL ethyl acetate in the presence of cocaine-d3 as an internal standard. The method exhibited good linearity; calibration curve was linear over a range of 0.1-20 ng/mg hair. The limit of detection for the assay was 0.05 ng/mg hair. Except for one subject (No. 4), all head and pubic hair samples were positive for tetramine. The concentrations of tetramine in pubic hair were significantly higher than those in the same subjects' head hair samples. Because of a long retention in body, segmental head hair analysis cannot provide an accurate exposure history of tetramine in the body.     

Spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) for the analysis and detection of packaged pharmaceuticals and concealed drugs

Spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) is a powerful new technique for the non-invasive detection and identification of concealed substances and drugs. Here, we demonstrate the SORS technique in several scenarios that are relevant to customs screening, postal screening, drug detection and forensics applications. The examples include analysis of a multi-layered postal package to identify a concealed substance; identification of an antibiotic capsule inside its plastic blister pack; analysis of an envelope containing a powder; and identification of a drug dissolved in a clear solvent, contained in a non-transparent plastic bottle. As well as providing practical examples of SORS, the results highlight several considerations regarding the use of SORS in the field, including the advantages of different analysis geometries and the ability to tailor instrument parameters and optics to suit different types of packages and samples. We also discuss the features and benefits of SORS in relation to existing Raman techniques, including confocal microscopy, wide area illumination and the conventional backscattered Raman spectroscopy. The results will contribute to the recognition of SORS as a promising method for the rapid, chemically specific analysis and detection of drugs and pharmaceuticals.     

Comparison of two methods for isolating DNA from human skeletal remains for STR analysis

Abstract: The quality and efficiency of a standard organic DNA isolation method and a silica‐based method using the QIAGEN Blood Maxi Kit were compared to obtain human DNA and short tandem repeats (STRs) profiles from 39 exhumed bone samples for paternity testing. DNA samples were quantified by real‐time PCR, and STR profiles were obtained using the AmpFlSTR^® Identifiler^® PCR amplification kit. Overall, the silica‐based method recovered less DNA ranging from 0 to 147.7 ng/g (average 7.57 ng/g, median = 1.3 ng/g) than did the organic method ranging from 0 to 605 ng/g (average 44.27 ng/g, median = 5.8 ng/g). Complete profiles (16/16 loci tested) were obtained from 37/39 samples (95%) using the organic method and from 9/39 samples (23%) with the silica‐based method. Compared with a standard organic DNA isolation method, our results indicate that the published silica‐based method does not improve neither the quality nor the quantity of DNA for STR profiling.     

A line already drawn: the case for voluntary euthanasia after the withdrawal of life-sustaining hydration and nutrition

When life-sustaining hydration and nutrition is withheld from an incompetent and immobile patient like Terri Schiavo, death comes to the patient by dehydration within about two weeks. Americans should be permitted to arrange for euthanasia at that point, as opposed to merely dehydrating to death, and should be able to incorporate their desire for euthanasia into an advance directive. A state constitutional right of privacy could provide the legal avenue permitting effectuation of such a choice.     

《拉美危机面临的经济政策选择》

拉美决策者长期以来面临着以下争论:1.通货膨胀政策。拉美的通货膨胀率始终高于世界其他地区。在制定反通货膨胀政策的过程中,决策者面临着两种选择:正统的金融控制或非正统的休克疗法。有效的政策应该是合二为一。2.财政政策。这方面争论的核心是:利率应保持在什么水平上。换言之,实际利率(即名义利率减去通货膨胀率)应该是正还是负?低利率能鼓励投资,从而促进经济增长;     

“电子政府”和信息系统在美国地方政府管理中的应用

信息系统在美国地方政府管理中的应用经历前互联网和互联网两个时期,主要应用于财政管理、人事管理、土地管理、公共安全、市政工程等,改善了这些领域的服务。“地理信息系统”的出现和利用提高了工作效率,并逐渐成为公共管理领域的操作平台与支持决策工具。电子政府是指建立在信息技术上的政府运作过程,是高效率的政府过程。改进政府的运作程序是电子政府的实质所在。网络化和政府网络仅仅是电子政府内容的一部分,电子政府效果量化,这是目前值得研究的两个问题。
