肺癌是一种身心疾病，个性、行为特征和精神心理因素与肺癌的发生、发展关系密切。许多研究证实，肺癌确诊后长期存活患者的预后也与他们的身心状态和表现有紧密联系。我们调查了42例肺癌确诊后长期存活（≥5年）患者的精神心理、个性和行为特征，并与近一年内确诊后仍存活的47例同病患者以及健康人群作比较，试图总结前者身心表现的一般规律。

Predation is thought to be one of the main structuring forces in animal communities. However, se- lective predation is often measured on isolated traits in response to a single predatory species, but only rarely are selective forces on several traits quantified or even compared between different predators naturally occurring in the same system. In the present study, we therefore measured be- havioral and morphological traits in young-of-the-year Eurasian perch Perca fluviatilis and com- pared their selective values in response to the 2 most common predators, adult perch and pike Esox lucius. Using mixed effects models and model averaging to analyze our data, we quantified and compared the selectivity of the 2 predators on the different morphological and behavioral traits. We found that selection on the behavioral traits was higher than on morphological traits and perch predators preyed overall more selectively than pike predators. Pike tended to positively se- lect shallow bodied and nonvigilant individuals （i.e. individuals not performing predator inspec- tion）. In contrast, perch predators selected mainly for bolder juvenile perch （i.e. individuals spend- ing more time in the open, more active）, which was most important. Our results are to the best of our knowledge the first that analyzed behavioral and morphological adaptations of juvenile perch facing 2 different predation strategies. We found that relative specific predation intensity for the di- vergent traits differed between the predators, providing some additional ideas why juvenile perch display such a high degree of phenotypic plasticity.

Deficits in social communication are one of the behavioral signatures of autism spectrum disorder （ASD）. Because faces are arguably the most important social stimuli that we encounter in everyday life, investigating the ability of individuals with ASD to process faces is thought to be important for understanding the nature of ASD. However, although a considerable body of evidence suggests that ASD individuals show specific impairments in face processing, a significant number of studies argue otherwise. Through a literature review, we found that this controversy is largely attributable to the different face tests used across different studies. Therefore, a more reliable and valid face test is needed. To this end, we performed a meta-analysis on data gleaned from a variety of face tests conducted on individuals with developmental prosopagnosia （DP） who suffer a selective deficit in face processing. Based on this meta-analysis, we selected an old/new face recognition test that relies on face memory as a standard diagnostic test for measuring specific face processing deficits. This test not only reliably reflects DP individuals＇ subjective experiences with faces in their daily lives, but also effectively differentiates deficits in face processing from deficits caused by other general problems. In addition, DP individuals＇ performance in this test predicts their performance in a variety of face tests that examine specific components of face processing （e.g., holistic processing of faces）. Finally, this test can be easily administrated and is not overly sensitive to prior knowledge. In summary, this test can be used to evaluate face-processing ability, and it helped to resolve the controversy whether individuals with ASD exhibit face-processing deficits.

Sybil attacks are one kind of well-known and powerful attacks against online social networks （OSNs）. In a sybil attack, a malicious attacker generates a sybil group consisting of multiple sybil users, and controls them to attack the system. However, data confidentiality policies of major social network providers have severely limited researchers＇ access to large-scale datasets of sybil groups. A deep understanding of sybil groups can provide important insights into the characteristics of malicious behavior, as well as numerous practical implications on the design of security mechanisms. In this paper, we present an initial study to measure sybil groups in a large-scale OSN, Renren. We analyze sybil groups at different levels, including individual information, social relationships, and malicious activities. Our main observations are： 1） user information in sybil groups is usually incomplete and in poor quality; 2） sybil groups have special evolution patterns in connectivity structure, including bursty actions to add nodes, and a monotonous merging pattern that lacks non-singleton mergings; 3） several sybil groups have strong relationships with each other and compose sybil communities, and these communities cover a large number of users and pose great potential threats; 4） some sybil users are not banned until a long time after registration in some sybil groups. The characteristics of sybil groups can be leveraged to improve the security mechanisms in OSNs to defend against sybil attacks. Specifically, we suggest that OSNs should 1） check information completeness and quality, 2） learn from dynamics of community connectivity structure to detect sybil groups, 3） monitor sybil communities and inspect them carefully to prevent collusion, and 4） inspect sybil groups that behave normally even for a long time to prevent potential malicious behaviors.

A series of polypeptides bearing biphenyl mesogenic side-chains and oligo-ethylene-glycol (OEG) tails (PPLGn-g-BPOEGm, n = 26 and 63, m = 2, 3, and 7) has been synthesized via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with quantitative grafting density. FTIR results revealed that the polypeptides adopted highly stable α-helix in the temperature range of 25–200 °C. DSC, POM and WAXS analysis revealed that PPLGn-g-BPOEGm (m ≤ 3) samples with short OEG tail length showed two main phase transitions including crystal to liquid crystalline (smectic C, SmC) phase transition and the melting transition of crystalline E-phase, while PPLGn-g-BPOEG7 with longer OEG tail length (m = 7) exhibited the melting transitions without the formation of liquid crystalline phase.

A water-conducting polyacrylamide/montmorillonite coating was prepared by solutionblending.The coating was coated on fiber and then composited with polymer to form a composite film material that used for water saving and tree planting in arid and desert regions.The coating＇s water-conducting characteristics and dynamic self-adjusting behavior were investigated by Fourier transform infrared（FTIR）spectroscopy,thermal analysis（TG-DTA）,and environmental scanning electron microscopy（ESEM）.The results showed that the coating＇s water-conducting rate increased but water-retention capacity weakened with increasing montmorillonite content.The water-loss rate was positively related to temperature and negatively related to soil moisture.Water potential greatly influenced the water-conducting rate of the coating during its water conduction process.When the coating was at a low water potential,the montmorillonite particles interconnected and water was conducted quickly via montmorillonite layers,whereas when the coating was at a high potential,the montmorillonite particles disconnected and water was conducted slowly via the swelled polyacrylamide net structure.The rate can be regulated by changing the proportion of polyacrylamide and montmorillonite to guarantee a reasonable water supply for trees and make trees easier to survive.Thus,the survival rate of trees can be increased and the use of water resources can be significantly reduced.

Resonance may occur when the periods of incoming waves are close to the eigen-periods of harbor basin.The amplified waves by resonance in harbor will induce serious wave hazards to harbor structures and vehicles in it.Through traditional theoretical approaches,the eigen-periods of harbor basin with regular shapes can be obtained.In our study,we proposed a numerical model to simulate the behavior characteristics of the harbor waves.A finite difference numerical model based on the shallow water equations（SWE） is developed to simulate incoming tsunami and tidal waves.By analyzing the time series data of water surface wave amplitude variations at selected synthetic observation locations,we estimate the wave height and arrival time in coastal area.Furthermore,we use frequency spectrum analysis to investigate the natural frequencies from the data recorded at the synthetic observation stations.

A stormwater wetland treating non-point source pollution (NPS) from a 64 ha agricultural watershed was monitored over a period of five months. The results indicated that pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) were increased in the wetland due to the algal growth. The highest total suspended solids (TSS) concentration was observed in the aeration pond due to the resuspension of solids, decreased in the wetland. The respective decreases in total nitrogen (TN) and total kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) were 15.9% and 28.7% on passing through the wetland. The nitrate and ammonia were increased by 45.4% and decreased by 79.9%, respectively. These variations provided strong evidence for the existence of nitrification. The total phosphorus (TP) and phosphate had respective reductions of 52.3% and 58.2% over the wetland. The total chemical oxygen demand (TCOD) and soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) were also decreased. Generally, the TN, TP and phosphate removal efficiencies were positive. These positive removal efficiencies were mainly due to microbial activities, uptake by plants, and chemical precipitation at high pH. Negative removal efficiencies can be caused by continuous rainfall activities, with short antecedent dry days (ADDs) and unstable hydraulic conditions, some other biogeochemical transformations and algal growth also being important parameters.

[Objective] This experiment aimed to compare piglets behavior under microbial fermentation bed breeding mode and traditional rearing mode. [Method] Pig behavior＇s statistical analysis under both microbial fermentation bed pig breeding mode and traditional rearing mode was se lected to study the effect of different breeding environment on pig＇s growth [ Result] The results showed that the duration of piglets lying and sleeping behavior accounted for the highest proportion of tested behavior, up to more than 70% ,followed by feeding and drinking which reached 15.96% （under microbial fermentation bed breeding mode） and 9.33% （under traditional rearing mode） respectively. Compared with traditional intensive rearing mode, piglet exploratory behavior＇s occurrence probability and duration increased significantly, by 28.62% and 12.21% respectively. Fighting behavior＇s occurrence probability and duration decreased significantly, by 49.83% and 91.26% respectively. Nutrient index and health index were introduced to evaluate piglet＇s general heath condition under microbial fermentation bed breeding mode, and results indicated that the health index of piglets under microbial fermentation bed breeding mode had slight difference from that under traditional mode, namely 10.83 and 10.03 respectively. But health index of piglets under microbial fermentation bed breeding mode was 245.12, much higher than 21.96 under traditional mode. [ Conclusion] Piglets would be healthier under microbial fermentation bed breeding mode.

This paper analyses robotic signals in the perspective of fractional dynamics and the pseudo phase plane (PPP). It is shown that the spectra of several experimental signals can be approximated by trend lines whose slope characterizes their fractional behavior. For the PPP reconstruction of each signal, the time lags are calculated through the fractal dimension. Moreover, to obtain a smooth PPP, the noisy signals are filtered through wavelets. The behavior of the spectra reveals a relationship with the fractal dimension of the PPP and the corresponding time delay.
