Photosynthetic bicarbonate utilization in Porphyra haitanensis (Bangiales, Rhodophyta)

The activities of carbonic anhydrase (CA) and photosynthesis of Porphyra haitanensis were investigated in order to see its photosynthetic utilization of inorganic carbon source. Both intra- and extra-cellular CA activities existed in the thallus. CA inhibitors, acetazolamide (AZ) and ethoxyzolamide (EZ), remarkably depressed the photosynthetic oxygen evolution in seawater of pH 8.2 and 10.0, and EZ showed stronger inhibition than AZ. The observed net photosynthetic rate In seawater of pH 8.2 was much higher than that of CO2 supply theoretically derived from spontaneous dehydration of HCO3-. P. haitanensis also showed a rather high pH compensation point (9.9). The results demonstrated that P. haitanensis could utilize bicarbonate as the external inorganic carbon source for photosynthesis. The bicarbonate utilization was closely associated with HCO3- dehydration catalyzed by extracellular CA activity. The inorganic carbon composition in seawater could well saturate the photosynthesis of P. haitanensis. The low K-m value and compensation points for inorganic carbon reflected the existence of CO2-concentrating mechanism in this alga.

Polishing-related optical anisotropy of semi-insulating GaAs studied by reflectance difference spectroscopy

The strong in-plane optical anisotropy of (001) semi-insulating GaAs, which comes from the submicron region under the surface, has been observed by reflectance difference spectroscopy. The optical anisotropy can be explained by the anisotropic strain that is introduced by the asymmetric distribution of 60 degrees dislocations during surface polishing. The simulated spectra reproduce the line shape of the experimental ones. The simulations show that the anisotropic strain is typically about 2.3x10(-4). (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics.

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.

基于复合离散混沌动力系统的序列密码算法

利用复合离散混沌系统的特性,提出了两个基于复合离散混沌系统的序列密码算法.算法的加密和解密过程都是同一个复合离散混沌系统的迭代过程,取迭代的初始状态作为密钥,以明文序列作为复合系统的复合序列,它决定了迭代过程中迭代函数的选择(或明文与密钥),然后将迭代轨迹粗粒化后作为密文.由于迭代对初始条件的敏感性和迭代函数选择的随机性,密钥、明文与密文之间形成了复杂而敏感的非线性关系,而且密文和明文的相关度也很小,从而可以有效地防止密文对密钥和明文信息的泄露.复合离散混沌系统均匀的不变分布还使密文具有很好的随机特性.经分析表明,系统具有很高的安全性.

水合物及其在多孔介质中导热性能的研究

气体水合物是一种笼形混合物，它是水分子形成的主体框架包裹其他客体分子形成的一种非化学计量的冰状物质。在海底和大陆的永冻区有大量的天然气水合物，由于天然气水合物富含天然气资源（约2x1016时），并且其稳定性关系到全球气候和海洋地质结构的变化，因而受到广泛的关注。所以在考虑对该资源进行热开采和考察地球温压变化对含水合物层的影响时，有必要掌握水合物的热物性和含水合物层的有效导热系数（ETC）。另一方面，水合物虽然具有明确的晶体结构，但研究表明n型水合物具有玻璃体的导热特性，即其具有低导热系数和导热系数随温度变
