In this paper, the luminescence and nuclear spectroscopic properties of two LYSO samples, used in the NN-PET detectors, are studied. UV-excited emission spectra show that maximum emission spectral values are within the range of 400-425nm, which is well compatible with spectral response of PMT H7546B. The decay time, energy resolution, light output and energy spectra related to coincidence time window were investigated. The decay times of the two LYSO samples are 34.16±1.43ns, 34.26±1.95ns, respectively. The energy resolution and the light output, relative to NaI(Tl), are 10.25%±0.06%, 10.17%±0.10% and 75.3±5.7, 76.1±5.8 respectively when detected with PMT XP2262B.

To test the utility of this model, an epithelial tissue polarimetric spectral imaging system is proposed, then human frostbite sample is imaged using the system. Proposed model is used to acquire the morphological parameters closely relating to the abnormality of biological tissue, including the mean diameter, size distribution and relative refractive index.

The key point of a successful preprocessing method is to remove the noise of nonspecific binding and to keep the information of specific binding as much as possible. One way to solve these problems is to understand the principle of the binding between probes and target sequences, and to distinguish specific binding from nonspecific binding correctly. In this paper, we introduce MM probe intensities into position dependent nearest neighbor (PDNN) model, which contain much information of nonspecific binding.We use two-step model to estimate the parameters,which can simplify the computation. Based on the Wilcoxon rank test, we can determine whether a gene is present, with which we can obtain the training data set for the specific binding and non specific binding parameters. We also apply our model to gene expression data (HGU133plus2.0 and HGU133A) .

The results reveals that the synonymous codons with A and T at the third codon positon have widely usage in the codon of UL26.5 gene of DEV. G + C compositional constraint is the main factor that determines the codon usage bias in UL26.5 gene. The phylogentic analysis suggested that DEV was evolutionarily closer to fowl herpesviruses which further clustered into Alphaherpesvirinae. There were both 21 codons showing distinct usage differences between DEV with Escherichia coli and yeast, 25 between DEV and Homo sapiens, 26 between DEV and adenovirus.

Focusing on the milk with melamine in market, a rapid and easy method is necessary to meet the needs to detect melamine from the milk. In this study, the analytical system was developed by surface enhanced Raman spectrum (SERS) and portable Raman spectrometer, which had fast detecting and alarming functions. Firstly, Qualitative analysis method for detecting melamine in milk was found. And the peak 709cm -1 was used as the essential peak for qualitative analysis method. On the basis of that, quantitative method was further defined. The concentration of melamine in milk vs Ratio of 709cm -1 /1026cm -1 showed a good linear relationship when the standard concentration of melamine in milk within 3ppm to 10ppm. Detective limit of this method was 1ppm, and the quantization limit was 3ppm. Recovery was in 86% to 106% and satisfied the request of GB/T22388-2008 (80%- 110%). Analytical system was established for determination melamine in milk. Multiple functions were contained in this system.
