暗纹东方鲀年龄鉴定的研究

用耳石、脊椎骨、鳃盖骨等识别和鉴定暗纹东方鲀(Takifugu obscurusAbe)的年龄,在描述其轮纹特征基础上,比较其在判读暗纹东方鲀年龄和生长特征上的异同与准确性。结果表明,耳石磨片上的轮纹特征明显、清晰且规律性强,是最好的年龄鉴定材料;脊椎骨轮纹也很清晰,但测量时有一定难度,也是较好的年龄鉴定材料;鳃盖骨上年轮较难判定,只能作为辅助材料。本文还对牙齿能否作为年龄鉴定材料进行了观测。

Gene structure of an antimicrobial peptide from mandarin fish, Siniperca chuatsi (Basilewsky), suggests that moronecidins and pleurocidins belong in one family: the piscidins

The gene of piscidin, an antimicrobial peptide, has been cloned from the mandarin fish, Siniperca chuatsi. From the first transcription initiation site, the mandarin fish piscidin gene extends 1693 nucleotides to the end of the 3' untranslated region and contains four exons and three introns. A predicted 79-residue prepropeptide consists of three domains: a signal peptide (22 aa), a mature peptide (22 aa) and a C-terminal prodomain (35 aa). The shortage of XQQ motif in the prodomain of mandarin fish piscidin and the similar gene structure between moronecidins (piscidins) and pleurocidins may indicate that they are derived from the same ancestor gene. We thus suggest that piscidin should be used as a terminology for these antimicrobial peptides in the future. The mandarin fish piscidin mRNA was abundant in intestine, spleen, pronephros and kidney analysed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. After stimulation with lipopoly saccharides (LPS), a marked increase in transcripts was observed in most tissues, indicating that piscidin is not only a constitutively expressed molecule, but also has an increased response to bacterial infection. The synthetic, amidated mandarin fish piscidin exhibited different antimicrobial activity against different fish bacterial pathogens, especially against species of Aeromonas, which may to certain extent reflect the pathogenicity of these bacteria.

A 5.6-mW Power Dissipation CMOS Frequency Synthesizer for L1/L2 Dual-Band GPS Application

This paper presents a wide tuning range CMOS frequency synthesizer for dual-band GPS receiver, which has been fabricated in a standard 0.18-um RF CMOS process. With a high Q on-chip inductor, the wide-band VCO shows a tuning range from 2 to 3.6GHz to cover 2.45GHz and 3.14GHz in case of process corner or temperature variation, with a current consumption varying accordingly from 0.8mA to 0.4mA, from a 1.8V supply voltage. The measurement results show that the whole frequency synthesizer costs a very low power consumption of 5.6mW working at L I band with in-band phase noise less than -82dBc/Hz and out-of-band phase noise about -112 dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset from a 3.142GHz carrier.

a backtracking search tool for constructing combinatorial test suites

Combinatorial testing is an important testing method. It requires the test cases to cover various combinations of parameters of the system under test. The test generation problem for combinatorial testing can be modeled as constructing a matrix which has certain properties. This paper first discusses two combinatorial testing criteria: covering array and orthogonal array, and then proposes a backtracking search algorithm to construct matrices satisfying them. Several search heuristics and symmetry breaking techniques are used to reduce the search time. This paper also introduces some techniques to generate large covering array instances from smaller ones. All the techniques have been implemented in a tool called EXACT (EXhaustive seArch of Combinatorial Test suites). A new optimal covering array is found by this tool.

基于身份的可验证加密签名协议的安全性分析

利用Hess的基于身份的数字签名方案,Gu和Zhu提出了一个基于身份的可验证加密签名协议,并认为该协议在随机预言模型下是可证明安全的,从而可以作为基本模块用于构建安全的基于身份的公平交换协议.文章对该协议的安全性进行了深入分析,结果表明该协议存在如下的安全缺陷:恶意的签名者可以很容易地构造出有效的可验证加密签名,但是指定的仲裁者却不能把它转化成签名者的普通签名,因此不能满足可验证加密签名协议的安全需求;而且该协议容易遭受合谋攻击.
