Mineralogical variations and physical properties of deep sea sediments, northwest Arabian Sea

Charles Darwin the research ship undertook an Oceanographic Cruise in 1986, CD 86/17 of the North Arabian Sea. Sediment cores were collected between 15° and 25°N. In this study sediment cores collected from deep Indus and Oman basins (CD 1715, CD 1730, CD 1738) have been analyzed for mineralogy, water content and porosity. In general, the cores are mainly composed of clay to silt sized terrigenous and biogenic constituents. Quartz, Chlorite and Illite are the common minerals of Arabian Sea sediments. Porosity determined by water content of sediments has been correlated with quartz/chlorite and quartz/illite peak ratios to show a relationship between mineral composition and physical properties.

利用组织原位杂交技术,以地高辛标记的反义RNA为探针,检测了金鱼(Carassius auratus)DEAD-box家族基因p68和p110在卵子发生及精子发生中的表达分布特点。结果表明:在金鱼配子发生中,p68基因在各个时期的卵母细胞均有表达,Ⅰ、Ⅱ期卵母细胞中的表达水平较Ⅲ、Ⅳ期卵母细胞中更高。p68基因的表达只限于精原细胞和初级精母细胞中。p110基因在金鱼精子发生各阶段持续表达,其中精原细胞和初级精母细胞中表达水平较高;在卵子发生中,Ⅰ期卵母细胞中没有p110 RNA阳性信号,Ⅱ期卵母细胞中信号

Code-specific policy gradient rules for spiking neurons

Although it is widely believed that reinforcement learning is a suitable tool for describing behavioral learning, the mechanisms by which it can be implemented in networks of spiking neurons are not fully understood. Here, we show that different learning rules emerge from a policy gradient approach depending on which features of the spike trains are assumed to influence the reward signals, i.e., depending on which neural code is in effect. We use the framework of Williams (1992) to derive learning rules for arbitrary neural codes. For illustration, we present policy-gradient rules for three different example codes - a spike count code, a spike timing code and the most general "full spike train" code - and test them on simple model problems. In addition to classical synaptic learning, we derive learning rules for intrinsic parameters that control the excitability of the neuron. The spike count learning rule has structural similarities with established Bienenstock-Cooper-Munro rules. If the distribution of the relevant spike train features belongs to the natural exponential family, the learning rules have a characteristic shape that raises interesting prediction problems.

The meta-converse bound is tight

We show that the meta-converse bound derived by Polyanskiy et al. provides the exact error probability for a fixed joint source-channel code and an appropriate choice of the bound parameters. While the expression is not computable in general, it identifies the weaknesses of known converse bounds to the minimum achievable error probability. © 2013 IEEE.

Design and optimization of photonic crystal coupling layer for bi-color quantum well infrared photodetectors

Finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is used for the simulation and analysis of electromagnetic field in the top coupling layer of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP). Simulation results demonstrated the coupling efficiencies and distributions of electromagnetic (EM) field in a variety of 2D photonic crystal coupling layer structures. A photonic crystal structure for bi-color-QWIP is demonstrated with high coupling efficiency for two wavelengths.

基于双肖特基接触GaN薄膜特性参数测试新方法

提出了一种GaN薄膜电学参量测试新方法.该方法基于双肖特基结二极管结构,利用非对称的电极图形获取整流特性,从而省去了复杂的欧姆接触形成工艺,可方便地导出电子电导迁移率和肖特基接触理想因子等特征参数.对残留载流子浓度为7×1016 cm-3 的非故意掺杂GaN薄膜进行了试验,新方法得到Ni/Au-GaN肖特基接触的理想因子为2.8,GaN薄膜方块电阻为491Ω和电子电导迁移率为606cm2/(V·s).这些典型参数与利用欧姆接触实验和普通Ni/Au-GaN肖特基二极管测试所得结果较为吻合.该方法为半导体薄膜测试提供了新思路,可推广用于难以形成良好线性欧姆接触或材料特性受欧姆接触工艺影响较大的外延材料及其金半接触的监测研究.
