Construction of a BAC library for Chinese amphioxus Branchiostoma belcheri and identification of clones containing Amphi-pax genes

Amphioxus is a crucial organism for the study of vertebrate evolution. Although a genomic BAC library of Branchiostoma floridae has been constructed, we report here another BAC library construction of its distant relative species Branchiostoma belcheri. The amphioxus BAC library established in present study consists of 45,312 clones arrayed in one hundred and eighteen 384-well plates. The average insert fragment size was 120 kb estimated by Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis of 318 randomly selected clones. The representation of the library is about 12 equivalent to the genome, allowing a 99.9995% probability of recovering any specific sequence of interest. We further screened the library with 4 single copied Amphi-Pax genes and identified total of 26 positive clones with average of 6.5 clones for each gene. The result indicates this library is well suited for many applications and should also serve as a useful complemental resource for the scientific community.

Production cross section of Th-236 in the interaction of U-238 with 60 MeV/u O-18 ions

The neutron-rich target-like isotope Th-236 has been produced in the U-238-2p multinucleon transfer reaction between a 60 MeV/u O-18 beam and natural U-238 targets. The activities of thorium were determined after radiochemical separation of Th from the mixture of uranium and reaction products. The Th-236 isotope was identified by the characteristic gamma-rays of 642.2, 687.6 and 229.6 keV. The production cross section of Th-236 was determined to be 250 +/- 50 mu b.

Crack propagation in structures subjected to periodic excitation

In the present paper, a simple mechanical model is developed to predict the dynamic response of a cracked structure subjected to periodic excitation, which has been used to identify the physical mechanisms in leading the growth or arrest of cracking. The structure under consideration consists of a beam with a crack along the axis, and thus, the crack may open in Mode I and in the axial direction propagate when the beam vibrates. In this paper, the system is modeled as a cantilever beam lying on a partial elastic foundation, where the portion of the beam on the foundation represents the intact portion of the beam. Modal analysis is employed to obtain a closed form solution for the structural response. Crack propagation is studied by allowing the elastic foundation to shorten (mimicking crack growth) if a displacement criterion, based on the material toughness, is met. As the crack propagates, the structural model is updated using the new foundation length and the response continues. From this work, two mechanisms for crack arrest are identified. It is also shown that the crack propagation is strongly influenced by the transient response of the structure.

铝粉快速反应光谱中AlOB~2Σ~＋→X~2Σ~＋发射光谱的研究

在由光学多道分析仪收集的氢氧气体爆轰激励下铝粉快速反应光谱中，观察到ＡｌＯＢ２Σ＋→Ｘ２Σ＋跃迁Δｖ＝０带系的光谱特征与通常铝氧化反应的光谱特征不同。经分析是因为存在一个从４６７ｎｍ开始向长波方增强的连续辐射，它改变了该波长区ＡｌＯ分子的辐射特征。这一连续辐射可能是由铝与水蒸汽发生水合反应生成，而处于不同激发态的多原子分子ＨＡｌＯＨ产生

负超载对Al-2024疲劳裂纹扩展的影响

本文讨论了负超载对Al-2024铝合金材料疲劳裂纹扩展的影响,试验发现在大量负超载循环周次之后也有裂纹停滞现象发生。这种停滞现象的产生与剪切唇的形成有关。本文发现负超载期间的剪切唇(简称剪切唇Ⅰ)和负超载之后的剪切唇(简称剪切唇Ⅱ)对疲劳裂纹扩展速率影响的程度不同。从裂纹闭合的观点建立了负超载对疲劳裂纹扩展影响的计算模型。

Influence of 2 secondary effects on shear failure of cantilever with attached mass block under impulsive loading

The influence of two secondary effects, rotatory inertia and presence of a crack, on the dynamic plastic shear failure of a cantilever with an attached mass block at its tip subjected to impulsive loading is investigated. It is illustrated that the consideration of the rotatory inertia of the cantilever and the presence of a crack at the upper root of the beam both increase the initial kinetic energy of the block required to cause shear failure at the interface between the beam tip and the tip mass, where the initial velocity has discontinuity Therefore, the influence of these two secondary effects on the dynamic shear failure is not negligible.
