Wide Voltage Input Receiver with Hysteresis Characteristic to Reduce Input Signal Noise Effect

In this paper, an input receiver with a hysteresis characteristic that can work at voltage levels between 0.9 V and 5 V is proposed. The input receiver can be used as a wide voltage range Schmitt trigger also. At the same time, reliable circuit operation is ensured. According to the research findings, this is the first time a wide voltage range Schmitt trigger is being reported. The proposed circuit is compared with previously reported input receivers, and it is shown that the circuit has better noise immunity. The proposed input receiver ends the need for a separate Schmitt trigger and input buffer. The frequency of operation is also higher than that of the previously reported receiver. The circuit is simulated using HSPICE at 035-mu m standard thin oxide technology. Monte Carlo analysis is conducted at different process conditions, showing that the proposed circuit works well for different process conditions at different voltage levels of operation. A noise impulse of (V-CC/2) magnitude is added to the input voltage to show that the receiver receives the correct logic level even in the presence of noise. Here, V-CC is the fixed voltage supply of 3.3 V.

Plant reproductive traits mediate tritrophic feedback effects within an obligate brood-site pollination mutualism

Plants, herbivores and parasitoids affect each other directly and indirectly; however, feedback effects mediated by host plant traits have rarely been demonstrated in these tritrophic interactions. Brood-site pollination mutualisms (e.g. those involving figs and fig wasps) represent specialised tritrophic communities where the progeny of mutualistic pollinators and of non-mutualistic gallers (both herbivores) together with that of their parasitoids develop within enclosed inflorescences called syconia (hence termed brood-sites or microcosms). Plant reproductive phenology (which affects temporal brood-site availability) and inflorescence size (representing brood-site size) are plant traits that could affect reproductive resources, and hence relationships between trees, pollinators and non-pollinating wasps. Analysing wasp and seed contents of syconia, we examined direct, indirect, trophic and non-trophic relationships within the interaction web of the fig-fig wasp community of Ficus racemosa in the context of brood site size and availability. We demonstrate that in addition to direct resource competition and predator-prey (host-parasitoid) interactions, these communities display exploitative or apparent competition and trait-mediated indirect interactions. Inflorescence size and plant reproductive phenology impacted plant-herbivore and plant-parasitoid associations. These plant traits also influenced herbivore-herbivore and herbivore-parasitoid relationships via indirect effects. Most importantly, we found a reciprocal effect between within-tree reproductive asynchrony and fig wasp progeny abundances per syconium that drives a positive feedback cycle within the system. The impact of a multitrophic feedback cycle within a community built around a mutualistic core highlights the need for a holistic view of plant-herbivore-parasitoid interactions in the community ecology of mutualisms.

Efecto de las frecuencias de pastoreo sobre un pastizal natural con presencia de Lotus tenuis en el partido de Olavarría, provincia de Buenos Aires

Resumen: La Pampa deprimida bonaerense está considerada la zona de cría más importante del país; el 85% de su superficie está cubierta por pastizales naturales, siendo éstos la principal fuente de alimento para la ganadería local. La productividad del pastizal natural, puede ser mejorada aplicando tecnología de procesos, al utilizar pastoreos en forma rotacional, en lugar del usual pastoreo continuo. El objetivo del presente trabajo, es evaluar el efecto en la producción bruta de materia seca del pastizal natural en un ambiente de un bajo dulce, en donde Lolium multiflorum y Lotus tenuis constituyen especies indicadoras, y cuya frecuencia en el tapiz vegetal es alta. Este ensayo se realizó en el establecimiento “El Fortín” ubicado en la Estación Pourtalé (Partido de Olavarría), durante un año, desde Mayo del 2014 hasta Mayo del 2015. Se utilizó un diseño experimental de bloques completamentes aleatorizados (DCBA), con dos tratamientos: frecuencia de 45 días y frecuencia de 90 días. Aleatorizados en tres bloques que corresponden al número de parcelas existentes dentro del potrero. Se realizaron en total 11 muestreos midiendo la producción de materia seca, siendo esta la variable en estudio. El análisis estadístico se realizó mediante un análisis de varianza, utilizando como software el programa Infostat. Los resultados sobre la producción en promedio, sostienen que existen diferencias significativas entre ambos tratamientos: de 45 días y de 90 días. La materia seca acumulada y anualizada, fue de 3306,7kg.MS ha-1 para el tratamiento de 45 días y de 3190,0 kg.MS ha-1 para el tratamiento de 90 días, entre pastoreos sucesivos. Mientras que la producción promedio acumulada entre cortes para cada tratamiento fue de 472,4kg.MS ha-1 para el tratamiento de 45 días y de 797,5 kg.MS ha-1 para el tratamiento de 90 días.

Numerical Investigation On Detonation Cell Evolution In A Channel With Area-Changing Cross Section

The two-dimensional cellular detonation propagating in a channel with area-changing cross section was numerically simulated with the dispersion-controlled dissipative scheme and a detailed chemical reaction model. Effects of the flow expansion and compression on the cellular detonation cell were investigated to illustrate the mechanism of the transverse wave development and the cellular detonation cell evolution. By examining gas composition variations behind the leading shock, the chemical reaction rate, the reaction zone length, and thermodynamic parameters, two kinds of the abnormal detonation waves were identified. To explore their development mechanism, chemical reactions, reflected shocks and rarefaction waves were discussed, which interact with each other and affect the cellular detonation in different ways.

Yb：Y2O3陶瓷薄片激光器获得10．5W连续激光输出

室温下采用中心波长约970nm准直输出的大功率激光二极管模块作为抽运源，端面抽运双程吸收的腔型结构，抽运原子数分数为8％的Yb：Y2O3多晶透明陶瓷片获得连续激光输出。抽运阈值功率为7W，当抽运功率达到35W时，获得优化连续激光输出功率为10．5W，光光转换效率为30％，斜率效率为37．5％。激光输出功率随抽运功率基本呈线性增长。采用更高功率抽运源、优化谐振腔结构和减小热效应的影响，Yb：Y2O3陶瓷激光器的输出功率和效率将会得到进一步提高。

Fishery-independent Bottom Trawl Surveys for Deep-water Fishes and Invertebrates of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, 2002–08

From 2002 through 2008, the Mississippi Laboratories of the NMFS Southeast Fisheries Science Center, NOAA, conducted fishery-independent bottom trawl surveys for continental shelf and outer-continental shelf deep-water fishes and invertebrates of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico (50–500 m bottom depths). Five-hundred and ninety species were captured at 797 bottom trawl locations. Standardized survey gear and randomly selected survey sites have facilitated development of a fishery-independent time series that characterizes species diversity, distributions, and catch per unit effort. The fishery-independent surveys provide synoptic descriptions of deep-water fauna potentially impacted by various anthropogenic factors.
