贝叶斯联合模型与中国洞穴鱼类分化时间的估算(鲤科:金线鲃属)

金线鲃属分布于中国云贵高原及周边地区,包括10多种适应于洞穴生活、具有不同程度眼睛和色素退化的典型洞穴鱼类.迄今为止,金线鲃属的系统发育关系还存在很大争议.我们获得了34种金线鲃属鱼类及外类群的细胞色素b和ND4基因序列,用贝叶斯联合模型分析数据,重建了金线鲃属的系统发育关系;并用松散分子钟估算了本属及内部分支的起源时间.金线鲃属的单系性得到强烈的支持,本属可分为6个分支.此外,本研究结果还支持洞穴物种的多系起源假说以及季氏金线鲃(Sinocyclocheilus jii)的基部位置.松散分子钟估算表明,

扁担塘两种底栖动物的周年生产量

研究了1996年4月至1997年3月间扁担塘两种底栖动物———幽蚊和圆扁螺的周年生产量,采用体长频率法测算的生产量分别是:幽蚊周年生产量湿质量为0.1419g·m-2·a-1,干质量为0.0114g·m-2·a-1,P/B系数为1.8;圆扁螺的周年生产量带壳湿质量为1.6266g·m-2·a-1,去壳干质量为0.0732g·m-2·a-1,P/B系数为7.1.但与国外数据相比,这些结果比较适中,说明扁担塘并不是幽蚊和圆扁螺的最适生长环境.

alpha-tocopherol is essential for acquired chill-light tolerance in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp strain PCC 6803

Unlike Escherichia coli, the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 is insensitive to chill (5 degrees C) in the dark but rapidly losses viability when exposed to chill in the light (100 mu mol photons m(-2) s(-1)). Preconditioning at a low temperature (15 degrees C) greatly enhances the chill-light tolerance of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803. This phenomenon is called acquired chill-light tolerance (ACLT). Preconditioned wild-type cells maintained a substantially higher level of alpha-tocopherol after exposure to chill-light stress. Mutants unable to synthesize alpha-tocopherol, such as slr1736, slr1737, slr0089, and slr0090 mutants, almost completely lost ACLT. When exposed to chill without light, these mutants showed no or a slight difference from the wild type. When complemented, the slr0089 mutant regained its ACLT. Copper-regulated expression of slr0090 from P-petE controlled the level of et-tocopherol and ACLT. We conclude that alpha-tocopherol is essential for ACLT of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803. The role of a-tocopherol in ACLT may be based largely on a nonantioxidant activity that is not possessed by other tocopherols or pathway intermediates.

Multimode resonances in metallically confined square-resonator microlasers

Directional emission InP/AlGaInAs square-resonator microlasers with a side length of 20 mu m are fabricated by standard photolithography and inductively coupled-plasma etching technique. Multimode resonances with about seven distinct mode peaks in a free-spectral range are observed from 1460 to 1560 nm with the free-spectral range of 12.1 nm near the wavelength of 1510 nm, and the mode refractive index versus the photon energy E (eV) as 3.07152+0.18304E are obtained by fitting the laser spectra with an analytical mode wavelength formula derived by light ray method. In addition, mode field pattern is simulated for cold cavity by two dimensional finite-difference time-domain technique.

Relationship between the electric performance and the photoluminescence spectra of resonant tunnelling diodes

Resonant tunnelling diodes with different structures were grown. Their photoluminescence spectra were investigated. By contrast, the luminescence in the quantum well is separated from that of other epilayers. The result is obtained that the exciton of the luminescence in the quantum well is partly come from the cap layer in the experiment. So the photoluminescence spectrum is closely related to the electron transport in the resonant tunnelling diode structure. This offers a method by which the important performance of resonant tunnelling diode could be forecast by analysing the integrated photoluminescence intensities.

Face recognition based on PCA and multi-degree of freedom neurons

An algorithm of PCA face recognition based on Multi-degree of Freedom Neurons theory is proposed, which based on the sample sets' topological character in the feature space which is different from "classification". Compare with the traditional PCA+NN algorithm, experiments prove its efficiency.

基于光外差技术的超宽带频率响应测量系统

介绍了一种利用光外差技术测量光电探测器超宽带频率响应的测试方法。将一个可调谐外腔激光器和一个固定波长的分布反馈激光器（DFB-LD’s）产生的激光输入到光电探测器进行混频。通过对可调激光器腔长的控制，可以在光电探测器产生从DC到上百GHz的拍频信号，在无需额外校准光源的情况下就可以进行光电探测器超宽带频率响应特性的测试，这是该方法最突出的优点。实验证明该方法比较准确、简便、易于操作。在实验中，对两个不同的InGaAs p-i—n探测器进行测量，得到器件的3dB带宽分别为14．4GHz和40GHz。该测量方法对同类实验的研究和应用都具有实用意义。

Second-Order Raman Scattering from n- and p-Type 4H-SiC

The results of second-order Raman-scattering experiments on n- and p-type 4H-SiC are presented,covering the acoustic and the optical overtone spectral regions.Some of the observed structures in the spectra are assigned to particular phonon branches and the points in the Brillouin zone from which the scattering originates.There exists a doublet at 626/636cm-1 with energy difference about 10cm-1 in both n- and p-type 4H-SiC,which is similar to the doublet structure with the same energy difference founded in hexagonal GaN,ZnO, and AlN.The cutoff frequency at 1926cm-1 of the second-order Raman is not the overtone of the A1(LO) peak of the n-type doping 4H-SiC,but that of the undoping one.The second-order Raman spectrum of 4H-SiC can hardly be affected by doping species or doping density.
