In order to set up methods for goat hair follicles cultured in vitro, the regular cross test design L9(34) was used to evaluate the effects of three kinds of mediums with the additron of three differential levels of VEGF and EGF. A hair follicle from the skin of a Jining Grey Goat was separated and cultured in serum-free Williams E, serum-free DMEM and DMEM with 10％ fetal calf serum (FCS), by respectively adding different concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and epidermal growth factor(EGF) in every medium. The length of the hair follicle and the average hair shaft elongation (HSE) within the first 8 days were measured by an eyepiece micrometer, and its morphological changes were observed continuously under an invert microscope. The results show that a hair follicle cultured in 9 kinds of mediums grew well, but a hair follicles cultured in serum-free medium grew faster than that in a medium with 10％ serum; the growth rate is low in the medium without cellular growth factors compared with the mediums with the addition of VEGF or／and EGF with 2％～10％ concentration.

In order to establish a technique system for differential proteomics of body fluids, cerebrospinal fluid samples in two different physiological states were studied. There was a Multile Sclerosis sample and a control for each group, which was done in triplicate. Samples were precipitated with ice-cold acetone and the protein concentration was accurately quantified. The control and abnormal groups were labeled with two different Cyanine Dyes (Cy2 and Cy5) using the minimal labeling method while the internal standard group was labeled with Cy3. Then 2D-E was used and three gels were run. Each gel contained a control group, an abnormal group and the internal standard group labeled with 3 different Cye Dyes. The information including differential express protein spots and their levels were obtained using a Typhoon 9400 scanner and DeCyder 2-D software. Protein spots were identified by MALDI-TOF／TOF. Metacore integrated software was used to analyze the interactions between proteins. The results show that a differential proteomics technique system is effective to discover valuable candidate proteins.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms of exon 4 A8398G of the PRL gene were detected in Chinese Holstein cows by PCR-RFLP. The results showed that the PRL gene digested by RsaⅠ could be divided into two kinds of alleles and three kinds of genotypes. The frequencies of allele A and G are 0.257 and 0.743 respectively.The frequencies of genotype AA, AG and GG are 0.010, 0.497 and 0.493 respectively. Sequencing revealed one single nucleotide mutatioo A→G at 8398 bp of the gene in genotype AA in comparison with genotype GG, and this mutation can not result in an amino acid change. The result of Chi Square test indicated that the frequencies of patterns types of PRL gene genes digested by RsaⅠ can not fit with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in this population(P<0.05). In lactation Ⅱ, the least squares means of protein percentage of this population was higher for genotype GG than for genotype AG (P<0.05). The least squares means of milk yield of this population was higher for genotype AG than for genotype GG (P<0.01). The least squares means of linear score of this population was higher for genotype GG than for genotype AG (P<0.05).

Based on the Monte Carlo simulation for ARGO-YBJ experiment, the characteristics of lateral distribution of the charged particles in Extensive Air Showers induced by primary cosmic ray particles with energy at the “knee” region were analyzed by using the multi-fractal and discrete wavelet methods under different length scales. Parameters, which can characterize the difference between different primary particles, were found. With these parameters as the inputs, an artificial neural network was created for multi-variant analysis, and the discrimination power was given.

Based on the first principle calculation method, the effects of bias voltage and the distance between two electrodes on the transport properties of the Au／molecule／Au junctions was investigated. The bias voltage corresponding to the first onset of the conductance decreases with the electrode distance from 1.278nm to 1.298nm, and increases with the electrode distance from 1.298nm to 1.398nm. The electron accumulation at the interface between molecule and electrode resulting from the bias can hamper electron tunneling. Good agreement between calculation results and experimental results in conductive features was achieved.

Based on the present realizing method of thinning and feature point extraction, an improved thinning algorithm based on groups and a far inflection-point method was proposed. The method of the improved thinning algorithm can mark the type of branch points in the character images, which is based on group numbers in the thinning process. This method can prepare for sequential sub-stroke extraction. The far inflection-point can provide the method, which could quickly extract a Chinese character inflection-point. Experimental results show that these proposed algorithms can fairly well extract sub-strokes, and the feature point extraction accuracy is 98.6％.

An indefinite stochastic LQ problem was studied in an infinite time horizon with stability degree constraint. The objective was to find an optimal control, by which the cost function minimum and the state with the optimal control having a higher mean-square convergence rate can be obtained. First, a necessary and sufficient condition was provided for the well-posedness of this problem. Then, a sufficient condition for the attainability was obtained based on the solvability of a generalized algebraic Riccati equation.

The results on the existence of fixed points of generalized contractive mappings were extended by relaxing the contractive conditions. The existence of common fixed points of generalized contractive mapping pairs was also discussed. The obtained results extend the recent relative results and the classical theorems in metric spaces.
