Tunable electronic transport characteristics of surface-architecture-controlled ZnO nanowire field effect transistors.

Surface-architecture-controlled ZnO nanowires were grown using a vapor transport method on various ZnO buffer film coated c-plane sapphire substrates with or without Au catalysts. The ZnO nanowires that were grown showed two different types of geometric properties: corrugated ZnO nanowires having a relatively smaller diameter and a strong deep-level emission photoluminescence (PL) peak and smooth ZnO nanowires having a relatively larger diameter and a weak deep-level emission PL peak. The surface morphology and size-dependent tunable electronic transport properties of the ZnO nanowires were characterized using a nanowire field effect transistor (FET) device structure. The FETs made from smooth ZnO nanowires with a larger diameter exhibited negative threshold voltages, indicating n-channel depletion-mode behavior, whereas those made from corrugated ZnO nanowires with a smaller diameter had positive threshold voltages, indicating n-channel enhancement-mode behavior.

Status and prospects of mackerel and tuna fishery in Bangladesh

Present status and future prospects of mackerel and tuna fisheries in Bangladesh were assessed during July 2003-June 2004. The work concentrated on the fishing gears, length of fishes, total landings and market price of the catch and highlighted the prospects of the fishery in Bangladesh. Four commercially important species of mackerels and tuna viz. Scomberomorus guttatus, Scomberomorus commerson, Rastrelliger kanagurta, and Euthynnus affinis were included in the study. About 95% of mackerels and tuna were caught by drift gill nets and the rest were caught by long lines (4%) and marine set-bag-net (1%). Average monthly total landing of mackerels and tunas was about 264 t, of which 147 t landed in Cox's Bazar and 117 t in Chittagong sites. Total catches of the four species in Cox's Bazar and Chittagong sites were found to be 956 and 762 t, respectively. The poor landing was observed during January-February and the peak landing was in November and July. Gross market value of the annual landing of mackerels and tunas (1,718 t) was found to be 1,392 latch taka. Nevertheless, the mackerel and tuna fisheries in Bangladesh are increasingly contributing to the marine fish production of the country and have very good potential for further expansion for both domestic and export market.

三株铜绿微囊藻对外源无机碳利用的研究

本文研究了三株铜绿微囊藻在不同条件下光合放氧对外源溶解无机碳的响应。当温度从20℃上升到30℃时,三株铜绿微囊藻的光合放氧速率都显著增加。随着反应介质pH值从7.0上升到9.0,铜绿微囊藻的光合放氧逐渐增强,其最大光合放氧速率显著增大。胞外碳酸酐酶抑制剂乙酰唑胺(acetazolamide,AZ)对铜绿微囊藻的光合放氧无显著影响,而碳酸酐酶抑制剂乙氧苯丙噻唑磺胺(ethoxyzolamide,EZ)则抑制其光合放氧。通过酶动力学方程拟合,得出这三株铜绿微囊藻的表观无机碳亲和力常数K0.5(DIC)均低于5

Gate commutated thyristor with voltage independent maximum controllable current

In this letter, we use a novel 3-D model, earlier calibrated with experimental results on standard gate commutated thyristors (GCTs), with the aim to explain the physics behind the high-power technology (HPT) GCT, to investigate what impact this design would have on 24 mm diameter GCTs, and to clarify the mechanisms that limit safe switching at different dc-link voltages. The 3-D simulation results show that the HPT design can increase the maximum controllable current in 24 mm diameter devices beyond the realm of GCT switching, known as the hard-drive limit. It is proposed that the maximum controllable current becomes independent of the dc-link voltage for the complete range of operating voltage. © 1980-2012 IEEE.

Increasing the genetic uniformity of bighead carp [Aristichthys nobilis (Richardson)] by means of spontaneous diploidization of gynogenetically activated eggs

Three groups of gynogenetic diploid bighead carp were successfully obtained by means of artificial gynogenesis. The activation rates of gynogenesis varied from 75.9% to 98.8%, and the frequency of spontaneous diploidization was around 0.4%. Over 2000 normally gynogenetic diploid fry were obtained in three gynogenetic groups. The haploid karyotype consisted of nine metacentric, 12 submetacentric, three subtelocentric chromosomes and 45 arms. The chromosome number was 48 from gynogenetic diploid. The results showed that the genetic material of offspring was maternal. The aneuploid hybrid embryos of bighead carp and Xingguo red common carp with chromosome numbers ranging from 28 to 73 did not survive post hatch, likely the result of incompatibility between the nucleus and the cytoplasm of two parents. Sixty RAPD primers from three groups were used for total DNA amplification of gynogenetic offspring, maternal and 'paternal' fish. A total of 451 bands were amplified from three kinds of samples above. From maternal bighead carp, 256 bands were amplified; however, there were 251 shared bands between maternal and gynogenetic bighead carp. From artificial gynogenetic offspring, two 'paternal' DNA segments without an expression function were found. An UPGMA tree showed that gynogenetic offspring were closely clustered and the genetic identity among them was very high (0.956).

Distribution and bioaccumulation of microcystins in water columns: A systematic investigation into the environmental fate and the risks associated with microcystins in Meiliang Bay, Lake Taihu

For the purpose of understanding the environmental fate of microcystins (MCs) and the potential health risks caused by toxic cyanobacterial blooms in Lake Taihu, a systematic investigation was carried out from February 2005 to January 2006. The distribution of MCs in the water column, and toxin bioaccumulations in aquatic organisms were surveyed. The results suggested that Lake Taihu is heavily polluted during summer months by toxic cyanobacterial blooms (with a maximum biovolume of 6.7 x 10(8) cells/L) and MCs. The maximum concentration of cell-bound toxins was 1.81 mg/g (DW) and the dissolved MCs reached a maximum level of 6.69 mu g/L. Dissolved MCs were always found in the entire water column at all sampling sites throughout the year. Our results emphasized the need for tracking MCs not only in the entire water column but also at the interface between water and sediment. Seasonal changes of MC concentrations in four species of hydrophytes (Eichhornic crassipes, Potamogeton maackianus, Alternanthera philoxeroides and Myriophyllum spicatum) ranged from 129 to 1317, 147 to 1534, 169 to 3945 and 124 to 956 ng/g (DW), respectively. Toxin accumulations in four aquatic species (Carassius auratus auratu, Macrobrachium nipponensis, Bellamya aeruginosa and Cristaria plicata) were also analyzed. Maximum toxin concentrations in the edible organs and non-edible visceral organs ranged from 378 to 730 and 754 to 3629 ng/g (DW), respectively. Based on field studies in Lake Taihu, risk assessments were carried out, taking into account the WHO guidelines and the tolerable daily intake (TDI) for MCs. Our findings suggest that the third largest lake in China poses serious health threats when serving as a source of drinking water and for recreational use. In addition, it is likely to be unsafe to consume aquatic species harvested in Lake Taihu due to the high-concentrations of accumulated MCs. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A derivation of the asymptotic random-coding prefactor

Phylogeny of the East Asian cyprinids inferred from sequences of the mitochondrial DNA control region

With 210 genera and 2010 species, Cyprinidae is the largest freshwater fish family in the world. Several papers, based on morphological and molecular data, have been published and have led to some solid conclusions, such as the close relationships between North American phoxinins and European leuciscins. However, the relationships among major subgroups of this family are still not well resolved, especially for those East Asian groups. In the present paper, the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region, 896-956 base pairs, of 17 representative species of East Asian cyprinids was sequenced and compared with those of 21 other cyprinids to study their phylogenetic relationships. After alignment, there were 1051 sites. The comparison between pairwise substitutions and HKY distances showed that the mtDNA control region was suitable for phylogenetic study. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that there are two principal lineages in Cyprinidae: Cyprinine and Leuciscine. In Cyprinine, the relationships could be a basal Labeoinae, an intermediate Cyprininae, and a diversified Barbinae (including Schizothroaxinae). In Leuciscine, Rasborinae is at the basal position; Gobioninae and Leuciscinae are sister groups; the East Asian cultrin-xenocyprinin taxa form a large monophyletic group with some small affiliated groups; and the positions of Acheilognathinae and Tincinae are still uncertain.

二元推导与自相关随机性检测算法的相关性分析

随机性检测在密码学中发挥着重要的作用,目前,已有多种不同的随机性检测算法.但是,实际应用中选择所有的检测算法进行检测不现实,选择哪些算法能够使检测充分且无冗余,这需要研究检测算法之间可能存在的关系.对两种重要的随机性检测算法二元推导和自相关进行了研究.从二者的基本原理出发,对其检测的推导过程进行了分析,结合杨辉三角的性质证明了在参数k选择为2t时,二元推导与自相关是等价的.若同时进行参数为2t的二元推导检测和自相关检测则存在冗余.同时对这个结论进行了实验验证.另外,研究还发现,在参数k选择为2t-1时,二元推导检测中推导序列的每一个比特包含初始序列的所有相关比特信息.所研究工作为实际应用中随机性检测项目和检测参数的选择提供了理论的指导.

24-二甲基戊二稀土化合物的合成

本文叙述了2.4-二甲基戊二烯基稀土金属有机化合物的合成并通过元素分析，红外光谱、核磁共振谱及质谱的鉴定。测定了Gd(2.4-GH_(11))_3的单晶结构，此外还合成了（2.4-GH_(11)K.TMEDA及K_2C_8H_8·3THF并也测定了它们的晶体结构。在所合成化合物的红外光谱中，没有属于C=C双键的吸收峰，表明分子中配位体以η~5形式的大π键体系与稀土金属离子结合，在Ln(2.4-GH_(11))_2Cl·TMF和Ln(2.4-GH_(11))Cl_2·GH_THF的红外光谱中，于1060波数附近出现一强而宽的吸收峰，即化合物中有四氢呋喃分子络合。化合物的室温NMR谱有四个吸收峰，2.4-二甲基戊二烯配位体可能为η~5平面∪或W构型。化合物的水解'H-NMR谱与质谱都证实水解产物为2.4－二甲基－1.3－戊二烯。它是－2.4二甲基戊二烯阴离子水解所得的唯一产物，它表明化合物中的配位体确为2.4－二甲基戊二烯阴离子。(2.4-GH_(11))_2Cl·TMDA配合物晶体结构是应用低温X－射线衍射技术用Nicolet R_3 M/E型四园衍射仪LT－1低温装置并利用重原子法测定的最小二乘法精修至收敛时的一致性因子R=0.055. Rw=0.057。晶体属单斜晶系P21/n空间群。晶胞参数a=11.322(4)A, b=9.242(3)A, c=15.956(5)A. β=106.70(3)分子中2.4－二甲基戊二烯阴离子呈平面∪构型。钾离子与四甲基乙二胺二啮体结合形成的络合阳离子和2.4-二甲基戊二烯阴离子相间排列形成无限链状结构分子。2.4－二甲基戊二烯阴离子的C－C键长明显分为中间与外端C－C键两组。外端组C－C键双性质较强键长较短。表明C3具有负电荷的共振杂化体贡献较大。分子中K－C键最短的是K-C(1.5)。而不是具有较多负电荷的C3－K键。这可能是由于几何因素造成的。K_2C_8H_8·3THF的晶体结构是采用与前者相同的方法测定的。它属三斜晶系，PT空间群，晶胞参数a=10.263(3)A, b=13.157(4)A, c=9.443A, α=87.51(2)°, β=114.93(2)°, γ=76.81(2)°. V=1111.6A, R=0.051. 晶体中负二价的环辛四烯阴离呈平面构型，具有中心对称性，两侧与两中心对称相关的钾离子连接，相邻的非等效的钾离子间通过两四氢呋喃分子的氧原子相连接，从而形成了无限链状结构的分子。环辛四烯反映了Huckel的4n+2芳香性规则。该结构的特别之处在于四氢呋喃分子的氧原子以桥键形式与两个钾离子同时连接。而这种形式的桥键在其它化合物中似还未发现。Go(2.4-GH_(11))_3的晶体结构亦是采用与前述相同的方法测定的。其晶体为三斜晶系，PT空间群，晶胞参数a=12.541A, b=12.853A, c=8.432A, α=91.44°, β=108.61°, γ=117.97°, V=112.54A~3. 结构测定表明，Gd(2.4-GH_(11))_3分子具有C_3h对称性。三个配位体阴离了的九个带负电荷的碳原子近似以三帽三角棱柱形式与钆离子配位。分子中2.4－二甲基戊二烯阴离子的C－C键长－亦分为而组。外端C－C键较中间C－C键强，键长较短，亦表明C3具有较多的负电荷。2.4－二甲基戊二烯阴离子本身近似呈平面∪构型。C2,C4偏离由C1 C3 C5三碳原子构成的平面0.067A。方向上远离中心钆离子。可能在此以离子性为主的化合物中，钆离子与不带电荷的C2 C4间的相互作用有些排斥性质。与Nd(2.4-GH_(11))_3不同的是，在Gd(2.4-GH_(11))_3分子中，Gd-(C(1,5）键最短，而不是Gd-C(3)键。这可能是由于钆离子的半径较小，化合物的空间位阻效应较大所致。

PLD工艺制备高质量ZnO/Si异质外延薄膜

采用脉冲激光沉积工艺在不同条件下以Si(111)为衬底制备了Zno薄膜.通过对不同氧压下(0～50Pa)沉积的样品的室温PL谱测试表明,氧气氛显著地提高了薄膜的发光质量,在50Pa氧气中沉积的ZnO薄膜具有最强的近带边UV发射.XRD测试说明在氧气氛中得到的薄膜结晶质量较差,没有单一的(002)取向.利用-低温(500℃)沉积的ZnO薄膜作缓冲层,得到了高质量的ZnO外延膜.与直接沉积的ZnO膜相比,生长在缓冲层上的ZnO膜展现出规则的斑点状衍射花样,而且拥有更强的UV发射和更窄的UV峰半高宽(98meV).对不同温度下沉积的缓冲层进行了RHEED表征,结果表明,在600～650℃之间生长缓冲层,有望进一步改善ZnO外延膜的质量.
