Results of the Austrian-Ceylonese hydrobiological mission 1970 of the 1st Zoological Institute University of Vienna (Austria) and the Department of Zoology of the Vidyalankara University of Ceylon, Kelaniya. Pt 18. Freshwater musssels bivalvia

Till now there have been only two families of Bivalves with four genera known from freshwater in Ceylon. The material used for this study consists of members of three genera. This study deals with the family Unionidae, the family Corbiculidae is only represented by one specimen.

云南18 个民族Y染色体双等位基因单倍型频率的主成分分析

世居云南的少数民族中,壮、傣、水、布依、布朗、德昂、佤、彝、白、怒、哈尼、傈僳、拉祜、纳西、景颇、阿昌、基 诺和独龙18 个民族是由“羌”、“濮”、“越”3 大部落群体演化而来,是云南的土著居民。利用PCR2RFL P 方法对这18 个土著民族进行Y染色体上13 个双等位基因位点进行基因分型。结果显示,不同历史族源的民族群体在Y染 色体双等位基因单倍型分布上具有一定的差异:在百越后裔民族群体中以单倍型H11 、H12 为主要分布;在氐羌后 裔民族中以单倍型H5 、H6 和H8 为主要分布;在百濮后裔民族群体中主要单倍型分布为H6 、H8 和H11 。进一步 主成分分析表明,百越后裔民族群体和氐羌后裔民族在主成分图上聚为两组,提示父系基因库有不同的来源,与历 史记载相印证。

Meeting on BOBLME engagement in the International Indian Ocean Expedition 50th anniversary initiative (IIOE-2), Bangkok, Thailand, 17-18 March, 2015

Objectives included; a contribution to understanding large-scale processes affecting the Bay of Bengal Large Marine Ecosystem Project (BOBLME) and it's living resources; and to align with International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE-2) (2015-2020) which will extensively explore and study the Indian Ocean to improve understanding of the ocean and coupled climate processes.

A 660MHz ZVS DC-DC converter using gate-driver charge-recycling in 0.18μm CMOS with an integrated output filter

The design and manufacture of a prototype chip level power supply is described, with both simulated and experimental results. Of particular interest is the inclusion of a fully integrated on-chip LC filter. A high switching frequency of 660MHz and the design of a device drive circuit reduce losses by supply stacking, low-swing signaling and charge recycling. The paper demonstrates that a chip level converter operating at high frequency can be built and shows how this can be achieved, using zero voltage switching techniques similar to those commonly used in larger converters. Both simulations and experimental data from a fabricated circuit in 0.18μm CMOS are included. The circuit converts 2.2V to 0.75∼1.0V at ∼55mA. ©2008 IEEE.
