Variational Approach to the Thomas-Fermi Equation

By the semi-inverse method, a variational principle is obtained for the Thomas-Fermi equation, then the Ritz method is applied to solve an analytical solution, which is a much simpler and more efficient method.

Mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequence diversity in the Korean hare, Lepus coreanus Thomas (Mammalia, Lagomorpha)

Partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene of the Korean hare (Lepus coreanus) were analyzed to determine the degree of genetic diversity. Nine haPlotyes were observed, and the maximum Tamura-Nei nucleotide distance among them was 2.8%, indicating that genetic diversity of L. coreanus is moderate. In order to clarify the Korean hare's taxonomic status and relationship with the Manchurian hare (L. mandshuricus) and the Chinese hare (L. sinensis), these nine haplotypes of the Korean hare were compared with 13 haplotypes from five other species of eastern Asian Lepus including L. mandshwicus and L. sinensis. The Korean hare was distinct in its cytochrome b gene, and it is confirmed that L. coreanus is a valid species, as noted by Jones and Johnson (1965, Univ. Kansas Publ. (Mus. Nat. Hist.) 16:357). Further analyses of mtDNA cytochrome b gene with additional specimens of L. coreanus from North Korea and other species of Lepus from eastern Asia are needed to clarify the taxonomic status of the divergent mtDNA clades of L. mandshuricus and L. sinensis.

亚洲南部球果蝠Sphaerias blanfordi(Thomas,1891)的亚种分化

球果蝠Sphaerias blanfordi(Thomas,1891)是亚洲南部喜马拉雅-印度支那地区的特有种,甚为罕见而少有报道.曾被认为是单型种,几乎无雄性特征的描述.蔡桂全和张遁治(1980)根据采自西藏东南部墨脱的2只雄性标本订了一亚种一墨脱亚种Sphaerias blanfordi motuoensis,其主要特征是颈下侧有一对灰黄色的圆形毛斑.中国科学院昆明动物研究所先后在云南西北部高黎贡山地区采获25号标本(9♂♂,16♀♀),发现球果蝠两性在外形上有明显的性别差异,雄性的颈下侧有一对圆形、灰黄色的刷状毛斑,但雌性均无;对比墨脱标本,认为墨脱亚种的鉴别特征不可靠,亚种不能成立.Lunde(2003)曾报道采自越南北部Mt.Tay Con Linh Ⅱ地区的43号标本,其前臂长和上犬齿外宽明显与印度、缅甸和云南西北部高黎贡山地区的标本不同,可能是真正的地理亚种.

Geographic variation of the Anderson's Niviventer (Niviventer andersoni) (Thomas, 1911) (Rodentia: Muridae) of two new subspecies in China verified with cranial morphometric variables and pelage characteristics

A total of 66 specimens of Niviventer andersoni with intact skulls was investigated on pelage characteristics and cranial morphometric variables. The data were subjected to principal component analyses as well as to discriminant analyses, and measurement

无线HART网络管理器的研究与实现

工业无线网络技术是继现场总线之后，工业控制领域的又一个热点技术，是降低工业测控系统成本、提高工业测控系统应用范围的革命性技术。无线HART规范作为第一个开放的工业无线网络国际标准，在满足工业应用苛刻的可靠性、实时性和安全性等关键需求的同时，还提供良好的向后兼容性，具有广阔的应用前景。网络管理器是无线HART网络的核心设备，是无线HART规范研究与开发的重点和难点。 本文在对工业无线网络技术、无线HART协议及其关键技术、无线HART网络管理器进行详细总结的基础上，从核心算法、软件的设计与实现等方面对无线HART网络管理器进行了研究，取得以下成果： (1)提出了一种基于有向图的独立多路径路由算法。算法包括路由发现和路由计算两个过程。路由发现中提出了基于负载均衡和信号强度的邻居过滤，以及邻居冗余等机制，保证了网络可靠性，降低了算法开销。路由计算中提出了基于双向链路筛选的拓扑构建，基于改进Dijkstra算法的最短路径生成，以及基于启发式搜索的独立多路径筛选等机制，满足了工业应用可靠、实时、低开销和低能耗等性能要求。 (2)提出了基于均衡搜索的通信资源分配算法。采用动态的信道黑名单技术，提高了网络的可靠性；保证所分资源均匀分布在搜索空间中，提高了算法应对网络动态性的能力；与主通信资源反序的冗余通信资源搜索过程，使得不同节点的资源均衡，保证了通信资源分配的公平性。此外，该算法还具有轻型、实时等优点。 (3)设计和实现了无线HART网络管理器软件。针对网络管理器功能复杂，性能要求高等问题，本文采用模块化软件设计方法设计和实现了无线HART网络管理器软件，并将其应用于辽宁省一大型纸业有限公司75吨流化床温度与压力监测系统中。网络管理器长期稳定运行、性能良好的事实表明了设计与实现的合理性。
