Neuronal Differentiation of Adipose Derived Stem Cells: Progress So Far by T. J. Moore, Heidi Abrahamse

“…However, none of these strategies have yet been able to produce a fully functional descendent suitable for use in stem cell therapy. Due to the positive effects that low level laser irradiation has shown in stem cell studies to date, we propose that it could enhance the processes involved in the differentiation of adipose derived stem cells into neuronal lineages.…”

Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Reference Crop Evapotranspiration in Inner Mongolia from 1959 to 2018 by WANG Bin, QIAO Shuaishuai, LIU Jifa

“…To comprehensively understand the impact of climate change on reference crop evapotranspiration (ET₀) in Inner Mongolia,the daily ET₀ of 50 meteorological stations in Inner Mongolia in the past 60 years was calculated using the FAO Penman-Monteith formula,and further investigated spatiotemporal characteristics,interdecadal and cyclical changes of ET₀ in Inner Mongolia.The results showed that the distribution trend of ET₀ gradually decreased from west to east in Inner Mongolia,the multi-year average was 1 018 mm,while the climate tilt rate was 4.2 mm/10a,showing a significant upward trend.The sum of ET₀ in spring,summer and autumn,the growing periods of crops,accounted for about 95% of the total annual value,while the spatial distribution was similar to the annual value.The annual average ET₀ in various climate zones followed a descending order:ultra-arid climate zone,arid climate zone,semi-arid climate zone,dry and semi-humid climate zone,humid and semi-humid climate zone.The variation coefficients of the climate zones were low,showing weak variability,and abrupt changes occurred in different climate zones at the end of the 1990s.The ET₀ change cycles were mainly 59a,14a and 24a.…”

Hydrodynamic Characteristics and Pollutant Shifting Law of Shuangfengsi Reservoir under Flood Process by SUN Bolun, LIU Bin, ZHANG Yifan, XU Zhiheng, HAN Yuhang, CHANG Yifan

“…This paper aims to provide a theoretical basis for effective control of water pollution and technical support for joint simulation and control of reservoir hydrodynamic and water quality.It takes Shuangfengsi Reservoir as the research object and builds a hydrodynamic and water quality coupling model in virtue of MIKE21 to simulate the hydrodynamic characteristics and pollutant migration rule of a typical flood process in 1962.The output results show that in a typical flood process,the change of flow field in the reservoir area leads to drastic fluctuation of pollutant concentration.As the flood process progresses,the change curves of BOD and DO concentration are similar.Pollutant concentration drops rapidly at the initial stage of the flood,and when it drops to a certain value,the descending slope suddenly slows down until the end of the process.The change curves of NH₄ and PO₄ concentrations are similar.At the early stage of the flood,the concentrations at three points show an upward trend.As the point is further away from the storage location,the concentration increases faster and longer,and it rapidly decreases after rising to the highest point.The change curve of NO₃ concentration is special.It shows a transient stable trend when the flood comes,and then increases abruptly to the maximum value of 2.5 mg/L and fluctuates up and down around it.The migration of pollutants in the reservoir area under the action of flood will change with the flood process.…”

Historical Legends of the Volga-Ural Muslims concerning Alexander the Great, the City of Yelabuga, and Bāchmān Khān by Allen J. Frank

“…This paper will attempt to identify and trace the variants of these legends, to a large degree found in the region's Islamic manuscript collections, and to determine what role they played in the development of a communal identity among Volga-Ural Muslims.The traveler Abū Hamid al-Ghamāti (12th century) mentions that the Volga Bulgarians considered themselves descended from Alexander. These legends appear to have their complex origins in the traditions of certain Muslim steppe nomads and pre-Mongol Volga Bulgarians. …”

Experimental Study on Acoustic Emission Characteristics of Granite and Sandstone under Uniaxial Compression by Yongshuai Sun, Fei Yu, Jianguo Lv

“…The results of the study are as follows: there is a quiet zone in the acoustic emission event before the rock is destroyed and destabilized, and the higher the rock strength, the more obvious the quiet zone; this important feature can be used as a precursor feature of rock mass failure for prediction, and the rock acoustic emission energy rate is more obvious in the quiet area before destruction than the acoustic emission event rate; rock acoustic emission has experienced initial compaction zone, rising zone, peak zone, and descending zone, whether different rocks go through each stage and how long each stage lasts is related to the nature of the rock; under different loading methods, the failure mechanism of rock is different; the different loading rates of monotonic loading and grading loading will affect the change rate of acoustic emission.…”
