motilin,ghrelin基因在哺乳动物进化早期经历插曲式的快速进化

motilin,ghrelin是一对结构相似,功能相关的多肽类荷尔蒙.尽管彼此有所区别,二者都在胃肠消化道行使功能,参与调控能量动态平衡和生长激素的释放.研究发现,编码这两种荷尔蒙前体的基因在哺乳动物进化的早期经历了插曲式的快速进化,期间积累了许多改变氨基酸性质(电荷、极性、及空间容量)的非同义替换.值得注意的是,有功能活性的obestatin多肽荷尔蒙很可能是这一插曲式快速进化后才演化出现的.在哺乳动物进化的早期,发生了一系列复杂的变化,与此同时,我们观察到在相关过程中承担重要功能的motilin,ghrelin基因编码区经历了插曲式的快速进化,提示这可能对世系特异的适应性变化有所贡献.

滇池典型湖湾沉积物氮磷化学特性及疏浚层推算

以滇池围湖试验区海东湾和马村湾的沉积物为研究对象,对沉积物柱状样按每3cm分层,测试有机质、总磷及赋存形态磷(包括不稳定性磷、铁铝结合态磷、钙结合态磷、残渣磷)、总氮、亚硝酸盐氮、硝酸盐氮和氨氮等指标.结果表明:近些年来,2湾遭受的氮、磷内源负荷比以前大;铁铝结合态磷在磷的各形态中含量最高,氨氮所占总氮的比例较其它湖泊偏低;也发现海东湾和马村湾这2个湖湾在9~12cm层总磷、总氮呈现污染减轻的趋势,同时在24~39cm的深度上,总磷、总氮指标再次出现转折,考虑可行性和经济制约,24~39cm处可作为疏浚层

Parametric resonance for vibration energy harvesting with design techniques to passively reduce the initiation threshold amplitude

A vibration energy harvester designed to access parametric resonance can potentially outperform the conventional direct resonant approach in terms of power output achievable given the same drive acceleration. Although linear damping does not limit the resonant growth of parametric resonance, a damping dependent initiation threshold amplitude exists and limits its onset. Design approaches have been explored in this paper to passively overcome this limitation in order to practically realize and exploit the potential advantages. Two distinct design routes have been explored, namely an intrinsically lower threshold through a pendulum-lever configuration and amplification of base excitation fed into the parametric resonator through a cantilever-initial-spring configuration. Experimental results of the parametric resonant harvesters with these additional enabling designs demonstrated an initiation threshold up to an order of magnitude lower than otherwise, while attaining a much higher power peak than direct resonance. © 2014 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Dynamics of spontaneous emission from SiN with two-dimensional photonic crystals

We investigated the dynamics of spontaneous emission from a photonic crystal etched into a SiN slab. After fitting the decay curves of the emission to double exponential functions, we divided the dynamic process of the spontaneous emission into a fast process and a slow process. It was observed that the presence of the photonic crystal increased the proportion of the fast decay component, and consequently, the emission rate and time-integrated emission intensity were also enhanced. These enhancements were a result of the coupling of the guide modes to the leaky modes of the photonic crystal slab waveguide. (C) 2008 Optical Society of America.

A fully three-dimensional atomistic quantum mechanical study on random dopant-induced effects in 25-nm MOSFETs

A fully 3-D atomistic quantum mechanical simulation is presented to study the random dopant-induced effects in nanometer metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors. The empirical pseudopotential is used to represent the single particle Hamiltonian, and the linear combination of bulk band method is used to solve the million atom Schrodinger equation. The gate threshold fluctuation and lowering due to the discrete dopant configurations are studied. It is found that quantum mechanical effects increase the threshold fluctuation while decreasing the threshold lowering. The increase of threshold fluctuation is in agreement with the researchers' early study based on an approximated density gradient approach. However, the decrease in threshold lowering is in contrast with the density gradient calculations.
