简牍所见王莽对匈奴采取的政策

王莽即位后，对匈奴采取一系列错误政策。首先是更改匈奴名号，其次是分封匈奴十五位单于。简牍中不仅记载了这两件事情，而且还补充了非常重要的细节。     

Channel Mismatching in Sidelobe Canceler: Limitations and Remedies

After a brief recall of the Sidelobe Canceler (SLC) working principle, including the derivation of a general formula for the Cancellation Ratio (CR), the effects of channel mismatching are investigated. In particular, curves providing CRvalues as a function of amplitude and phase channel mismatching, radar bandwidth, and jammer direction of arrival (JDOA) are provided for the cases of one and two auxiliary antennas. Subsequently, a time -space processor for performance restoration is analyzed in detail. In addition to the above mentioned quantities, the attainable CR value is expressed as a function of the space-time processor parameters. The contribution of the paper is related to the derivation of a number of mathematical equations of CR for several cases of practical interest for the radar engineer. In addition, several curves are presented to assist design of SLC systems.     

未来十年的全球水源状况

1940年至1980年间,全球的用水量翻了一番,预计到2000年还要再翻一番。由于生活水平的差异,每人每天的生活用水量也相差甚大,为20～500升。全世界有4％的人均日用水量达300～400升(美国为580升),而全世界67％的人口(主要集中在非洲和亚洲)人均日用水量小于50升。时至今日,全球范围内,仍有65％的农村人口,35％的城市人口没有供水系统。尽管如此,在过去的10年里,又有13亿人喝上了卫生的水。但是,在现在52亿的世界人口中,仍有约12亿人喝不上卫生的水。     

Seborrhea-like dermatitis with psoriasiform elements caused by a mutation in ZNF750, encoding a putative C2H2 zinc finger protein

We describe an Israeli Jewish Moroccan family presenting with autosomal dominant seborrhea-like dermatosis with psoriasiform elements, including enhanced keratinocyte proliferation, parakeratosis, follicular plugging, Pityrosporum ovale overgrowth and dermal CD4 lymphocyte infiltrate. We mapped the disease gene to a 0.5-cM region overlapping the PSORS2 locus (17q25) and identified a frameshift mutation in ZNF750, which encodes a putative C2H2 zinc finger protein. ZNF750 is normally expressed in keratinocytes but not in fibroblasts and is barely detectable in CD4 lymphocytes.     

Common variation in three genes, including a noncoding variant in CFH, strongly influences risk of age-related macular degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common, late-onset disease with seemingly typical complexity: recurrence ratios for siblings of an affected individual are three- to sixfold higher than in the general population, and family-based analysis has resulted in only modestly significant evidence for linkage. In a case-control study drawn from a US-based population of European descent, we have identified a previously unrecognized common, noncoding variant in CFH, the gene encoding complement factor H, that substantially increases the influence of this locus on AMD, and we have strongly replicated the associations of four other previously reported common alleles in three genes (P values ranging from 10(-6) to 10(-70)). Despite excellent power to detect epistasis, we observed purely additive accumulation of risk from alleles at these genes. We found no differences in association of these loci with major phenotypic categories of advanced AMD. Genotypes at these five common SNPs define a broad spectrum of interindividual disease risk and explain about half of the classical sibling risk of AMD in our study population.     

气候变迁、适应能力及其发展

政府间小组委员会(IPCC)提供的第三次有关气候变化评估报告，强有力的说明了由人类诱发的气候变迁正在发生，而且世界上所有的国家都将会受到影响。     

宽能带隙电子器件

硅集成电路和数据存贮是两种最成功的技术，目前，这两种技术继续以高速度发展。在集成电路技术中，按照摩尔定律，一块芯片上的晶体管数目每隔18个月就会翻一翻。而对于磁盘驱动技术，自1991年起磁头的总体位密度以每年60％至100％的速率增加。集成电路是通过对半导体应用电场控制载流子流动来工作的，因此关键的参数是电子或空穴上的电荷。而在磁性数据存贮中关键的参数是电子的自旋。     

应用量子力学

量子力学是当前物理学及其相关科学的重要科学分支，也是当前许多新科学技术中的重要应用的基础。本书包含了现代新科学技术工程师所需要的量子力学方面的新材料，如研究和了解原子核、原子、分子和固体材料，以及激光器和其他量子光学器件所需要的科学资料等。     

非线性极限点和极限圆问题

1910年H．weyl首次提出极限点和极限圆问题，导致了上世纪非线性微分方程渐近分析研究的一些新进展。本书是关于这个研究的专著，对问题的产生、发展、扩充及主要结果和研究趋势等方面进行了论述。
