The screening was performed according to P < 0.01 and differential multiple factor ≥ 4. The obtained genes were input into the DAVID database for enrichment analysis of genes and pathways. The GeneMania and string databases were then used for protein interaction analysis. <strong>Results:</strong> The GSE1843 dataset was obtained in the GEO database, and three pathways significantly associated with cirrhosis and 13 differential genes enriched in three pathways were screened. Text mining revealed that 11 differential genes were directly associated with cirrhosis. The other two were indirectly linked by other genes. The screened genes and known gene formation networks were discovered by the GeneMania tool. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> CDH2 and COL1A1 may be important target genes for cirrhosis.展开更多

Second-order approaching function method, scaled unscented transformation(SUT) method and adaptive Monte Carlo method are designed for biases of displacements in rectangular dislocation model. They are used to analyze effects of the length, width,depth and dip of fault with different variances on the corresponding displacements of unit strike slip dislocation fault, unit dip slip dislocation fault and unit tensile dislocation fault. Results of the simulated fault show that compared with second-order approaching function method and adaptive Monte Carlo method, SUT method has better computational efficiency. The second-order term has dominant effects on nonlinear relationship between displacements and the fault parameter in the rectangular dislocation model. The main biases of displacements are near to fault. The corresponding displacements of unit tensile dislocation are mostly susceptible to fault parameters estimation, followed by the unit dip slip dislocation and unit strike slip dislocation. In addition, the vertical displacement is more sensitive to fault parameters estimation than horizontal displacements.展开更多

Based on the L-curve, the Eclectic Intersection curve as a new method is proposed to determine the smoothing factor in this paper. The results of the simulated experiment show that the inversion accuracy of the parameters of the seismic slip distribution with the smoothing factor determined by the Eclectic Intersection curve method is better than that of the L curve method. Moreover, the Eclectic Intersection curve method and the L curve method are used to determine the smoothing factor of L’Aquila earthquake and the Taiwan Meinong earthquake slip distribution inversion respectively, and the inversion results are compared and analyzed. The analysis results show that the L’Aquila and the Taiwan Meinong actual earthquake slip distribution results are in the range of other scholars at home and abroad, and compared with the L curve method, the Eclectic Intersection curve method has advantages of high computation efficiency, no need to depend on data fitting degree and more appropriate of smoothing factor and so on.展开更多
