Investigation on Relationships between Optical Properties and Cell Concentrations of Microalgae by Zhaoming Zhou A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geophysical Engineering Montana Tech 2018 ii Abstracts Biofuel from microalgae is a very promising renewable energy resource. Growth of microalgae depends on ambient temperature, appropriate nutrients in water, and light condition for photosynthesis. As microalgae grow, the depth of light penetration decreases and the growing conditions at depth deteriorate. Monitoring of microalgae concentration during their growing phase is imperative to ensure efficiency in biomass production. Conventionally, cell concentration (number of cells per unit volume) of microalgae solution is estimated by taking images of samples under microscope and then counted and estimated using the Metallized Hemacytometer Hausser Bright-Linewe (MHHBL) method developed by Hausser Scientific. This method of measuring cell concentration of microalgal solution is time consuming and can be performed only in the laboratory.

  • A New Freshwater Psammodictyon Species in the Taihu Basin, Jiangsu Province, China
    144 Fottea, Olomouc, 20(2): 144–151, 2020 DOI: 10.5507/fot.2020.005 A new freshwater Psammodictyon species in the Taihu Basin, Jiangsu Province, China Qi Yang1, Tengteng Liu1, Pan Yu1, Junyi Zhang2, J.

There are several features of this diatom that suggest it should be included in the genus Psammodictyon, notably the possession of panduriform valves characterized by a longitudinal fold near the apical axis, coarsely areolate striae, and a keeled raphe system present on the valve margin. This species is distinct from others in the genus by its small size, being only 16.5–25.0 μm long and 10.0–12.5 μm wide in the central region, and with the widest valve being 10.5–13.5 μm in width. There are 8–11 distinct fibulae per 10 μm and the striae are composed of 18–22 coarse areolae per 10 μm. This is the first report of a freshwater member of the genus Psammodictyon in China, which expands the known geographical and ecological distributions of the genus and enhances our understanding of freshwater diatom diversity in China. Key words: diatom, new species, Psammodictyon, Taihu Lake, taxonomy Introduction opposing sides of the valves of the frustule (similar to the diagonal symmetry of other members of the family The genus Psammodictyon D.G.

  • Evaluation of the Value of Preoperative CYFRA21-1 in the Diagnosis And
    Jin et al. Journal of Ovarian Research (2019) 12:114 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13048-019-0587-0 RESEARCH Open Access Evaluation of the value of preoperative CYFRA21-1 in the diagnosis and prognosis of epithelial ovarian cancer in conjunction with CA125 Chunjing Jin1† , Minfeng Yang2†, Xueqiao Han3, Haidan Chu1, Yan Zhang1, Meihong Lu1, Zhonghui Wang1, Xinxin Xu1, Wenwen Liu1, Feng Wang1* and Shaoqing Ju1* Abstract Growing evidence indicates that the tumor biomarker cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1) is significant for a variety of cancers. However, its role in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has rarely been reported. In this study, a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was utilized to estimate the diagnostic efficiency of CYFRA21-1. The correlation between the CYFRA21-1 level and prognosis was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and univariable and multivariable analyses. The relationship between serum CYFRA21-1 levels and different clinicopathological variables was also analyzed. At the same time, the standard serum marker cancer antigen 125 (CA125) was measured. The results demonstrated that CYFRA21-1 expression was significantly increased in EOC compared with expression in benign ovarian diseases and healthy controls, which was similar to CA125 (P < 0.001). CYFRA21-1 expression was positively correlated with CA125 (r = 0.201; P = 0.0032). CYFRA21-1 expression was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis and ascites (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the median survival time of EOC patients with high CYFRA21-1 expression was 42 months, compared with 54 months in the low CYFRA21-1 expression patients by Kaplan-Meier analysis (P < 0.05), while the high and low CA125 expression groups had no difference in median survival time.

Milne Edwards, 1853): those from the native culture area in the Yangcheng Lake, Yangcheng Lake-labeled crabs from the market, and those from aquaculture ponds. The electronic tongue data showed that umami was the most predominant taste in the steamed meat, followed by sweetness. The aftertaste of umami was clearly observed in all crab meat samples. Saltiness and bitterness varied widely depending on the geographic origin. There was only a little aftertaste of bitterness and no discernable sourness, astringency, or aftertaste of astringency. Principal component analysis (PCA) exhibited a clear grouping trend among the three crab groups. Linear discriminant analysis revealed that the crab groups can be separated from each other with 100% accuracy on the basis of the aforementioned measurable taste values. The taste sensing system can accurately profile the taste characteristics of crabs native to Yangcheng Lake, those marketed as Yangcheng Lake-labeled crabs, and those of pond-cultured crabs.

  • Taihu (Lake Tai) Basin China
    TAIHU (LAKE TAI) BASIN CHINA WWF’s programme in China is focused on influencing the national level and Yangtze region by targeting sector transformation, delivering conservation out- comes in priority ecosystems and demonstrating the business benefits of impact reduction activities. Covering an area of 2,338 km2 (almost the same size as the state of Luxembourg), Lake Tai is the third largest freshwater lake in China. Densely populated and economically developed, the lake borders Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and provides water to 30 million residents (equivalent to 4.4% of China’s total population) and contributes 9.8% to the country’s GDP. Country China Region Taihu Basin Population 30 million Area of Taihu Lake 2,338 km2 Area of Taihu Lake Basin 36,900 km2 TEXTILE SECTOR Around 70% of the global textile supply chain is located in China, Southeast Asia, and South Asia, and the textile sector is critical to China’s economy bringing in US$1 trillion per year. China accounts for 58% of global fiber processing. China’s textile exports contribute to 25% of the country’s total exports and are valued at US$ 29 billion. China’s textile industry withdraws over 3 trillion litres of water, accounting for 8% of the country’s total industrial water withdrawals and making it the fourth largest industrial water user. Since the 1970s, the annual discharge of industrial effluent into the Yangtze has increased three-fold, discharging more than 30 billion tonnes per year. With more than 50 national and province level industrial parks, Taihu Lake Basin is home to 37% of China’s textile production – along with 23% of its electronic production and 8% of its chemical production.

  • Spatial Distribution Pattern of Minshuku in the Urban Agglomeration of Yangtze River Delta
    The Frontiers of Society, Science and Technology ISSN 2616-7433 Vol. 3, Issue 1: 23-35, DOI: 10.25236/FSST.2021.030106 Spatial Distribution Pattern of Minshuku in the Urban Agglomeration of Yangtze River Delta Yuxin Chen, Yuegang Chen Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444, China Abstract: The city cluster in Yangtze River Delta is the core area of China's modernization and economic development. The industry of Bed and Breakfast (B&B) in this area is relatively developed, and the distribution and spatial pattern of Minshuku will also get much attention. Earlier literature tried more to explore the influence of individual characteristics of Minshuku (such as the design style of Minshuku, etc.) on Minshuku. However, the development of Minshuku has a cluster effect, and the distribution of domestic B&Bs is very unbalanced. Analyzing the differences in the distribution of Minshuku and their causes can help the development of the backward areas and maintain the advantages of the developed areas in the industry of Minshuku. This article finds that the distribution of Minshuku is clustered in certain areas by presenting the overall spatial distribution of Minshuku and cultural attractions in Yangtze River Delta and the respective distribution of 27 cities. For example, Minshuku in the central and eastern parts of Yangtze River Delta are more concentrated, so are the scenic spots in these areas. There are also several concentrated Minshuku areas in other parts of Yangtze River Delta, but the number is significantly less than that of the central and eastern regions. Keywords: Minshuku, Yangtze River Delta, Spatial distribution, Concentrated distribution 1.
