Two new species of Naticidae (Mollusca, Gastropoda) from the coast of China

Two new species of Naticidae (Mollusca, Gastropoda) collected from the coast of China are described: Cryptonaitca huanghaiensis sp. nov. and Sinum. vittatum sp. nov. The morphological characteristics between the new species were described and the related information was provided. The similarities and differenees between the new species and related species were also compared and discussed. The new species Cryptonaitea huanghaiensis differed from Cryptonaitca hirasei and Cryptonaitca andoi in outer shape, operculum and radula. The new species Sinum, vittatum is similar to Sinum, japonicum (Lischke, 1869), but the shell of the former is flat-elliptical in shape, spire very small, slightly convex. While the latter is flat-globular in shape, apex light brown in color, without a brown band on the body whorl. The comparison results revealed that Cryptonaitca huanghaiensis and Sinum vittatum were two new species from the coast of China. Specimens studied were obtained from collections in the Marine Biological Museum, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

碳纳米管探针的制作方法研究

碳纳米管的小直径、高纵横比、高强度和高弹性、优良的耐磨损性能以及独特的电学和化学特性,使其成为高分辨率原子力显微镜的理想探针针尖。本文根据制作工艺的特点,综述现有碳纳米管探针的代表性研究和制作方法:组装式和生长式。组装式是通过手工、电场或磁场的方式将制备好的碳纳米管粘附到常规硅探针的末端;而生长式是在常规硅探针末端或悬臂梁上定点催化生长出一定直径和长度的CNT。最后指出这些方法目前存在的主要问题。
