Mechanical constraint and loading on ferroelectric memory capacitors

The influence of mechanical constraint imposed by device geometry upon the switching response of a ferroelectric thin film memory capacitor is investigated. The memory capacitor was represented by two-dimensional ferroelectric islands of different aspect ratio, mechanically constrained by surrounding materials. Its ferroelectric non-linear behaviour was modeled by a crystal plasticity constitutive law and calculated using the finite element method. The switching response of the device, in terms of remnant charge storage, was determined as a function of geometry and constraint. The switching response under applied in-plane tensile stress and hydrostatic pressure was also studied experimentally. Our results showed that (1) the capacitor's aspect ratio could significantly affect the clamping behaviour and thus the remnant polarization, (2) it was possible to maximise the switching charge through the optimisation of the device geometry, and (3) it is possible to find a critical switching stress at zero electric field and a critical coercive field at zero residual stress. © 2009 Materials Research Society.

Water quality parameters of coastal shrimp farms from southwest and southeast regions of Bangladesh

The impacts of shrimp farming on water quality and effluent loading of shrimp farms in southwest (Khulna) and southeast (Cox's Bazar) regions of Bangladesh was investigated during March-August and August-October season, respectively. Water salinity fluctuated from 3.0 to 15.0 ppt in the southwest, whereas it was between 2.5 to 20.0 ppt. in southeast region. Total ammonia nitrogen as recorded in most farms of Cox's Bazar region was higher (0. 1160.438 mg/L) than the recommended level of shrimp farming. Mean values of total ammonia nitrogen and total nitrogen at the outlet of shrimp farms were higher than those of inlet in both regions. Mean values of phosphate phosphorus and total phosphorus at outlet were lower than inlet except in harvest time of Penaeus monodon. Total suspended solids were deposited on the bottom of shrimp farms in both regions, which resulted in higher concentration in inlets than outlets in both regions.

灵长类和反刍动物生长激素受体的快速进化

在大部分哺乳动物的进化历程中, 垂体生长激素的进化非常缓慢, 各类群之间没有很大的差别, 但在灵长类和反刍动物的进化过程中却出现了明显的快速进化, 即所谓“插曲式”的进化模式. 我们获 得了4 种灵长类动物的生长激素受体的膜外区序列, 并结合已有的序列数据进行系统的进化分析, 结果 表明, 哺乳动物生长激素受体也经历了一种类似垂体生长激素的所谓“插曲式”的进化模式. 考虑到垂 体生长激素的生物学效应需要通过其受体的介导才能实现, 结合相关性分析的结果, 推测垂体生长激 素受体的这种进化模式可能是与垂体生长激素发生了协同进化的结果.垂体生长

The misbehavior of value and the discipline of the will.

Most reinforcement learning models of animal conditioning operate under the convenient, though fictive, assumption that Pavlovian conditioning concerns prediction learning whereas instrumental conditioning concerns action learning. However, it is only through Pavlovian responses that Pavlovian prediction learning is evident, and these responses can act against the instrumental interests of the subjects. This can be seen in both experimental and natural circumstances. In this paper we study the consequences of importing this competition into a reinforcement learning context, and demonstrate the resulting effects in an omission schedule and a maze navigation task. The misbehavior created by Pavlovian values can be quite debilitating; we discuss how it may be disciplined.

POMDP-based statistical spoken dialog systems: A review

Statistical dialog systems (SDSs) are motivated by the need for a data-driven framework that reduces the cost of laboriously handcrafting complex dialog managers and that provides robustness against the errors created by speech recognizers operating in noisy environments. By including an explicit Bayesian model of uncertainty and by optimizing the policy via a reward-driven process, partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) provide such a framework. However, exact model representation and optimization is computationally intractable. Hence, the practical application of POMDP-based systems requires efficient algorithms and carefully constructed approximations. This review article provides an overview of the current state of the art in the development of POMDP-based spoken dialog systems. © 1963-2012 IEEE.

银鲫卵对两类精核发育的初级控制作用模式的研究

通过对银鲫(雌核发育型)和红鲤、红鲫、转性红鲤(两性融合发育型)两类精子在雌核发育银鲫卵中的不同发育行为的比较研究,初步证实银鲫卵的初级控制对精核发育的抑制作用具有选择性:对同源精子,初级控制呈负抑制作用模式,精核可以在银鲫卵中不同程度的发育;而对异源精子,初级控制呈正抑制作用模式,精核处于固缩状态.两类精核在银鲫卵质中的特殊发育行为可能与银鲫种群中性比的变化存在着某种关系,雄性银鲫的出现可能与“精核遗传物质”的随机渗入有关。

高温退火处理提高半绝缘VGF-GaAs单晶的电学性能

垂直梯度凝固法（VGF）生长的低位错半绝缘（SI）GaAs单晶存在电阻率和迁移率低、电学补偿度小、均匀性差等问题.在3种不同温度条件下,对VGF-SI-GaAs晶片进行了加As压的闭管退火处理.结果表明,经过1160℃/12h的高温退火处理后,VGF-SI-GaAs单晶的电阻率、迁移率和均匀性均得到了显著提高.利用Hall、热激电流谱（TSC）、红外吸收法分别测试分析了原生和退火VGF-SI-GaAs单晶样品的电学性质、深能级缺陷、EL2浓度和C浓度,并与常规液封直拉法（LEC）SI-GaAs单晶样品进行了比较.原生VGF-SI-GaAs单晶中的EL2浓度明显低于LEC-SI-GaAs单晶,经过退火处理后其EL2浓度显著增加,电学补偿增强,而且能级较浅的一些缺陷的浓度降低,因而有效提高了其电学性能.
