The regulations for gasoline's content vary depending on the time of year and physical location within the United States while the refinery and distribution system mixes product batches; this results in variability of content. ASTM E1618 requires both the aromatic and alkane EIP patterns of gasoline to compare with references. A survey was conducted by collecting gasoline from Florida to Oregon, from 85 to 93 octane. Samples were analyzed in accordance with ASTM E1618 in various states of evaporation. The range of differences found in the 90% evaporated alkane EIPs is presented and showed a continuum of response when the n-alkane response was compared with the branched alkane response. Similarly, the ratio of the alkane EIP to the aromatic EIP also showed a continuum of response at the 90% evaporated state. Gasoline samples with unusual characteristics are also discussed. 相似文献

An optimized protocol based on the DNA IQ™ System has been tested for the extraction of DNA from envelope flaps. DNA is extracted directly without the need for opening and swabbing the flaps. The method is repeatable with <10% R.S.D. (relative standard deviation). The results of a systematic study show that it is an equilibrium extraction, and a small sample volume as well as high lysis buffer content in sample contribute to high extraction efficiency. The extracted DNA requires no further purification steps following its extraction with the DNA IQ™ System. Complete but skewed 15-locus short tandem repeat (STR) profiles, which is typical of degraded of DNA, have been generated from the DNA extracted from 6 to 9 years old casework envelope samples. 相似文献

A common task in forensic anthropology involves the estimation of the biological sex of a decedent by exploiting the sexual dimorphism between males and females. Estimation methods are often based on analysis of skeletal collections of known sex and most include a research‐based accuracy rate. However, the accuracy rates of sex estimation methods in actual forensic casework have rarely been studied. This article uses sex determinations based on DNA results from 360 forensic cases to develop accuracy rates for sex estimations conducted by forensic anthropologists. The overall rate of correct sex estimation from these cases is 94.7% with increasing accuracy rates as more skeletal material is available for analysis and as the education level and certification of the examiner increases. Nine of 19 incorrect assessments resulted from cases in which one skeletal element was available, suggesting that the use of an “undetermined” result may be more appropriate for these cases. 相似文献

Optical tweezers have a wide range of uses for mechanical manipulation of objects in the microscopic range. This includes both living and static cells in a variety of biomedical and research applications. Single-focus optical tweezers, formed by focusing a laser beam through a high numerical aperture immersion objective, create a significant force, which enables controlled transport of a variety of different cell types and morphologies in three dimensions. Optical tweezers have been previously reported to capture and separate spermatozoa from a reconstituted simulated postcoital sample. We report herein the development of a simplified, more efficient cell transfer protocol that can separate and isolate both spermatozoa as well as leukocytes, with similar efficiencies as those previously reported. The new cell transfer method was used to separate sperm cells from a reconstituted mixture of spermatozoa and vaginal epithelial cells, with complete STR profiles developed from 50 cells with little evidence of contribution from the female contributor to the mixture. This modified protocol was then used to separate 21 samples of enriched leukocytes, with trapped cells ranging from 5 to 22 cells. Complete STR profiles were developed from as few as 10 leukocytes. Thus, with minimal sample preparation and a short trapping time, this method has the potential to provide an alternative to traditional differential extraction methods for separation of sperm:nonsperm mixtures while also providing versatility for separation of cells with differing morphologies. 相似文献

为了探讨热胁迫对奶牛组织形态和机能的影响,对热胁迫奶公犊肝、脾进行了显微结构观察,分析了HSP70在肝、脾的表达特征,并进行了脾淋巴细胞凋亡的观察。结果表明:在25℃常温状态下,奶牛肝、脾结构基本一致;脾组织内淋巴小结界限较大,红髓、白髓结构完整性较好,边缘被膜平整,淋巴小结内的淋巴细胞排列较致密。在不同热胁迫下,各组奶牛肝、脾均有不同程度的损伤,而且肝、脾细胞的超微结构变化随热胁迫后不同时间点而有所不同。热应激奶牛组织中HSP70含量随胁迫时间的延长呈现波动变化,与同期各组织细胞所呈现的病理损伤变化存在一定的相关,提示HSP70含量可作为判定组织应激损伤的标志之一。热胁迫对奶牛器官组织的影响是逐渐加重的过程,呈现部分淋巴细胞从凋亡到坏死的病理学变化过程。不同高温热胁迫均可造成肝、脾结构及其细胞的损伤,温度越高损伤越重。 相似文献

This study aimed to explore some psychological features of adolescents who have been reported by their parents for being violent towards them, analysing how they differ from other young offenders and from non-offender adolescents. Concretely, the presence of clinical diagnosis was explored and whether these juveniles received some psychological/psychiatric treatment. Moreover, this study examined substance use and some variables that characterise the social-cognitive style of these juveniles, along with the level of self-esteem. Information concerning clinical diagnosis and psychological/psychiatric treatment was extracted from the young offenders’ legal files. Measures included the social-cognitive subscale from the attitudes and social-cognitive strategies questionnaire (AECS), Rosenberg self-esteem scale, and a structured interview to assess substance use. Results indicated that juveniles who assaulted their parents present a different profile when compared to the other groups, as they showed a higher presence of psychopathology and more social-cognitive difficulties. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for the design and implementation of specific treatments with these aggressive adolescents. 相似文献

Abstract Using archival data, we investigate the relationship between the type of crime committed and personality characteristics from a sample of 100 juvenile Dutch delinquents, who had been screened at a bureau for ambulant youth care. Possibly confounding variables such as age, education and family background were controlled for using exploratory non-linear techniques. It appeared that delinquents who had committed crimes that involved victim contact were on average more impulsive, less neurotic and often had a less well developed conscience than those juvenile delinquents who had committed crimes that involved no contact with a victim. The latter were on average less impulsive, more neurotic and more often had a sufficiently or partially developed conscience. The relation with intelligence was inconclusive. 相似文献

This article argues that the breakdown of hierarchical structures in illicit organizations is creating new opportunities for criminals and terrorists to collaborate. The rise of networked organizations has given greater independence to criminals and terrorists who previously answered to a clear chain of command. These members are now willing to engage in operations that before had been off-limits because the leadership believed the activity would hurt the organization's broader mandate. The result is that a “leaderless nexus” is beginning to emerge between criminals and terrorists. The phenomenon has far-reaching and dangerous implications for U.S. security, and should be thoughtfully considered as lawmakers debate homeland security reform. 相似文献

The aim of this paper is to present a pragmatic inspired branding method called a value profile, within the theory of cognitive branding. The method is theoretical anchored in Charles S. Peirce's pragmatic theory and can be used to identify the core values of brands and also identify the possible consequences of how these values influence people to purchase products. Moreover, it can be used to analyze the values themselves. 相似文献

Effective technology transfer across borders is very complex and difficult. There are so many factors that affect the effectiveness
of technology transfer across borders, and the host country’s institutional profile is a critical factor. The country institutional
profile reflects the institutional environment in that country and is defined as the set of all relevant institutions that
have been established over time, that operate in that country, and that are transmitted into organizations through individuals
(Kostova 1997, 1999; Kostova and Roth 2002) [Country institutional profiles: Concept and measurement. Academy of Management Best Paper Proceedings, pp. 180–189; Transnational
transfer of strategic organizational practices: A contextual perspective. Academy of Management Review, 24(2), 308–324; Adoption
of an organizational practice by subsidiaries of multinational corporations: Institutional and relational effects. Academy
of Management Journal, 45(1), 213–233.]. There have been some studies about the relationship between institutional profile
and technology transfer, but there are few studies with a Chinese context. Technology transfer plays an important role in
developing countries and has been as one of vital strategies to build an innovative nation in China. Therefore, it is urgent
to focus on the relationship between China’s institutional profile and technology transfer. The results of structural equation
modeling, the subject of this paper, were based on an empirical study of 167 foreign ventures sampled in China, but they did
not fully confirm what the institutional theory emphasized about the effectiveness of technology transfer. The normative dimension
of the country institutional profile was shown to have a significantly positive effect on the effectiveness of technology
transferring across borders, but contrary to expectations, the regulatory dimension of the country institutional profile was
shown to have a significantly negative effect on the effectiveness of technology transfer, while the cognitive dimension has
no significant effect on it. The concluding section of the paper discusses some practical implications and potential future
study directions.
