Morphology, biometry and distribution of Difflugia biwae Kawamura, 1918 (Protozoa : Rhizopoda)

The freshwater testate amoeba Difflugia biwae Kawamura, 1918, isolated from Mulan Lake, Hubei Province, China is investigated using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The morphology, biometry and distribution of this little known species are supplied. After careful comparison with three other similar species, including D. delicatula Gauthier-Livre et Thomas, D. elegans Penard and D. oblonga caudata Stepanek, we believe that the characteristics of smooth fusiform shell, conspicuous great collar flare (always larger than body-width) around the aperture, constriction behind the aperture and a somewhat curved aboral horn set D. biwae apart from all other Difflugia species. This species shows a great diversity in total length, collar height and aboral horn length which have high variability (CV between 11.76 and 24.52). However, body width, collar diameter, neck width, body length and aperture diameter are fairly constant with low variability (CV between 5.34 and 8.79) which shows a remarkable uniformity of D. biwae. Also, the size frequency distributions of both body width and body length yield bell-shaped (normally distributed) curves and indicate that D. biwae is a size-monomorphic species, characterized by a main-size class and a small size range. D. biwae is probably endemic to East Asia (China and Japan) because it has such a large size (165-306 mu m) that it would have been easily found in Europe and North America, if it were there. Consequently, D. biwae must have a restricted geographical distribution, disproving the old hypothesis that microscopic organisms are cosmopolitan.

Scan test in 18x8 bits Booth Coding-Wallace Tree multiplier

Scan test can be inserted around hard IP cores that have not been designed with DFT approaches. An 18x18 bits Booth Coding-Wallace Tree multiplier has been designed with full custom approach with 0.61 m CMOS technology. When we reuse the multiplier in another chip, scan chain has been inserted around it to increase the fault coverage. After scan insertion, the multiplier needs 4.7% more areas and 24.4% more delay time, while the fault coverage reaches to 95%.

温带阔叶红松林生态系统潜热通量模拟——气孔导度组合模型在Shuttleworth-Wallace双源模型中的应用(英文)

叶片水平的气孔导度组合模型已被成功扩展到冠层水平,并被应用于冬小麦生态系统潜热通量的模拟研究,但该研究仅基于1a的数据,有必要研究模型在更长时间尺度和其它生态系统类型的适用性。以长白山阔叶红松林(CBS)为研究对象,将组合模型进一步应用于Shuttleworth-Wallace双源模型,模拟了CBS3a生长季内的潜热通量,利用涡度相关系统观测的潜热通量数据对模型进行验证,并对比了双源模型与单源模型的模拟结果。结果显示,双源模型较单源模型能取得更高的模拟精度,生长季不同时期的潜热通量模拟值和实测值的日变化较一致。对双源模型模拟值和实测潜热通量的相关分析显示,二者直线回归斜率和R2分别为0.96和0.72。对长白山阔叶红松林生态系统的蒸散和植被蒸腾的季节和年际变异分析发现,影响冠层蒸散和植被蒸腾季节动态的主要因素是饱和差和辐射,而影响它们年际动态的主要因素则是饱和差和温度。
