Accepted July 16, 2013) SUMMARY: A serosurvey of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) infection in domestic animals was conducted in the rural areas of Laizhou City, Shandong Province, China to deter- mine strategies for control and prevention of SFTS. Serum samples were collected from cattle, goats, dogs, pigs, and chickens and antibodies against SFTSV were detected by double-antigen sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Of 641 serum samples, the SFTSV seropositive rate was 41.8z (268/641): 74.8z,57.1z,52.1z,35.9z,and0z, for goats, cattle, dogs, chickens, and pigs, respectively. We also found that the SFTSV seropositive rates were high among the aged cattle, goats, dogs, and chickens. SFTSV infections existed among cattle, goats, dogs, and chickens in Laizhou City, and goats had the highest seroprevalence. SFTSV seroprevalence increased with an increase in age among animals.

  • Ethanol Affects Behavior and HPA Axis Activity During Development In
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Ethanol afects behavior and HPA axis activity during development in zebrafsh larvae Wenxiao Du1*, Xiaoli Chen2, Min Shi1, Fuhua Bian1 & Zhenjun Zhao1* Recent studies have shown that long-term alcohol intake from food can lead to numerous mental disorders in humans, and the social and health efects of excessive intake of alcohol currently represent serious problems for governments and families worldwide. However, to date, it has not been determined how alcohol afects the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. The zebrafsh ofers a good model for studying the toxicology of food-grade ethanol. In the present study, using zebrafsh larvae exposed to 1% ethanol, we performed zebrafsh behavioral analysis. Samples were collected for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) experiments, and statistical analysis was performed. We found that ethanol decreased the locomotor activity of zebrafsh larvae, which showed a more intense reaction to external stimuli. Ethanol also increased the level of HPA axis hormones in zebrafsh larvae, infuenced the level of neurotransmitters, and altered the expression of key genes in neurotransmitter metabolism. Ethanol exposure afects zebrafsh behavior, increases the level of HPA axis hormones in zebrafsh larvae, afects the level of neurotransmitters, and afects the expression of key genes in dopamine and serotonin metabolism. These fndings may help to elucidate the efects of ethanol on HPA axis activity. Ethanol is a substance consumed daily by humans that can cause considerable harm to human health, especially in minors1. Indeed, the social and health efects of alcoholism are among the most serious problems faced by governments and families every year 2.

Based on the evaluation methods and systems of information measurement level, and according to the principles of agriculture information subject, the study constructed 13 indices system for the measurement of the rural areas and agriculture information level in Yellow-river Delta in 2007. Spatial autocorrelation model of rural areas and agriculture information of 19 country units showed that the comprehensive information level of Hanting, Shouguang, Guangrao, Bincheng, Huimin, Wudi and Yangxin country unit is very significant, has the obvious spatial agglomeration and homogeneity characteristics, but information level agglomeration of Kenli country and Zouping city has the significant heterogeneity, and information level agglomeration characteristics of other 10 country units is not significant. The radius surface of the complicated information level from radial basis function model indicated that rural areas and agriculture information service has a certain service radius, the distance of service radius in theory is 30Km, the gradient and hierarchy is obvious. According to it, the comprehensive service node should be established in Bincheng district and the secondary service node should be set up in Wudi country for improving the service efficiency.

Abstract: When petroleum hydrocarbon pollutants enter the ocean, besides the migration under hydrodynamic constraints, their degradation due to environmental conditions also occurs. However, available observations are usually spatiotemporally disperse, which makes it difficult to study the degradation characteristics of pollutants. In this paper, a model of transport and degradation is used to estimate the degradation coefficient of petroleum hydrocarbon pollutants with the adjoint method. Firstly, the results of a comprehensive physical–chemical–biological test of the degradation of petroleum hydrocarbon pollutants in Laizhou Bay provide a reference for setting the degrada- tion coefficient on the time scale. In ideal twin experiments, the mean absolute errors between observations and simulation results obtain an obvious reduction, and the given distributions can be Citation: Huang, S.; Han, H.; Li, X.; inverted effectively, demonstrating the feasibility of the model.

  • Case Study of Chinese and US University, College
    Case Study of Chinese and U.S. University, College of Business Partnerships: Form, Process, Opportunities, and Challenges Daniel Borgia The University of Nottingham, Ningbo Gary Bonvillian Thomas University Arthur Rubens Florida Gulf Coast University This paper presents the experiences of three regional universities - one public and two private - that have established academic partnerships in business with Chinese institutions of higher education. The paper briefly highlights the process used by three universities to establish linkages with their Chinese partners, the relative success of these alliances, and the lessons learned in the process. Although many Western Universities have established partnerships with Chinese Universities, there remains an enormous unmet demand for Western business education in China. However, Western business schools must prepare themselves for the many challenges in establishing these partnerships. INTRODUCTION During the last thirty years, the emergence of China as a global political and economic superpower and the social transformation resulting from China’s open-door policy initiated under the late Deng Xiaoping in the late 1970s has led not only to an expansion of international business but also to expanding interconnections with Western institutions of higher education. As of 2006, "more than 1,400 foreign higher education institutions have been approved by various education authorities in China to operate in the country (Altbach, 2006)." According to Min (2004), China possesses one of the largest university systems in the world with more than 3,000 universities and colleges that educate more than 13 million students and employ over 1.45 million staff members, including more than a half million faculty. During the past decade, a growing number of Chinese universities began to forge academic alliances with Western universities.

Re- sults obtained showed a number of observations: 1) The annual mean temperature of Shandong Peninsula showed a significant increasing trend, with a distinct abrupt change point detected around 1990, during the past 5 decades. The warming of the Peninsula over the last 50 years was due mainly to the significant increase of annual minimum tem- perature. The annual maximum temperature demonstrated a mixed trend of decreasing and increasing, but was statisti- cally insignificant, and no abrupt change was detected; 2) The annual precipitation exhibited a decreasing trend during the past 5 decades, with an abrupt change detected around 1980 at most stations; but there was an earlier transition point at 1966, at a few stations.
