Stimulation of glucagon and inhibition of insulin secretion evoked from carotid baroreceptors.

The influence from carotid baroreceptors on portal immuno-reactive glucagon and insulin levels and on arterial plasma glucose concentration was studied in vagotomized cats by sectioning of the sinus nerves. Such a complete elimination of the afferent baroreceptor discharge caused a prompt and pronounced increase in the glucose and glucagon levels, whereas the insulin concentration significantly decreased. The role of vascular barorecptors in the hyperglycemic response to hemorrhage is discussed.     

U.S. agrigenetics: suit filed against NIH

Three environmental groups have filed suit against the National Institutes of Health in an attempt to block an experiment approved in April by the NIH Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee. The experiment, designed by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, to enhance the frost resistance of crops, would release genetically engineered organisms into the general environment for the first time. The suit, filed in a federal court in the District of Columbia, claims that releasing frost-resistant bacteria into the environment could have damaging ecological consequences, that NIH should have issued an environmental impact assessment before approving any experiment involving the release of genetically engineered organisms, and that the Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee lacks the expertise to assess environmental risks.     

Genetic control by the HLA region of the immune response to factor VIII in hemophilic patients]

In 10 sibships of haemophilic A patients, every one including 1 haemophilic brother with an antibody to factor VIII and 1 haemophilic brother without antibody, pattern of HLA segregation was analysed. All sibships were HLA haploidentical or different and not HLA identical. This fact suggested a linkage between the major histocompatibility complex and an "Ir" gene to factor VIII.     

Effect of insulin on immunological phagocytosis by macrophages.

It was shown that, in physiological concentrations, insulin enhances, in vitro, the immunological phagocytosis of sensitized sheep erythrocytes by cultured mouse peritoneal macrophages. Insulin seems to stimulate macrophage phagocytosis as a cholinomimetic agonist by increasing the intracellular levels of cyclic GMP.     

Pyrogen fever in rabbits pretreated with p-chlorophenylalanine or 5, 6-dihydroxytryptamine.

The hyperthermic effect of a bacterial pyrogen has been studied in rabbits pretreated or not with p-chlorophenylalanine or 5, 6-dihydroxytryptamine. The results obtained indicate that a selective reduction of cerebral 5-hydroxytryptamine levels by these drugs do not significantly affect pyrogen hypertermia.     

基于Logistic映射的图像保密通信

将Logistic映射产生的混沌序列作为载波，利用序列具有的良好相关特性，提出了一种图像保密通信方案。计算机仿真结果表明，只要收发双方使用相同的初值条件，即使在有一定噪声的情况下也能正确地进行图像传输，而初值的微小差异将导致通信失败，表明混沌序列用于保密通信具有很高的安全性能，同时方案具有很强的抗干扰能力。对图像恢复质量进行了评估，并给出了误比特率与码片长度的经验公式。     

火箭飞行数据的两种滤波方法对比

传统的火箭飞行数据处理方法是使用α-β-γ数字滤皮离线处理，对飞行数据采样信号的第1点、第2点不进行滤波估值，第3点开始逐个进行估值、预测、校正。该方法需要消耗大量的时间，并且滤波后信号的残留噪声仍然较多。针对此问题，经过大量的数值实验和理论分析，发现用小波方法实时处理火箭飞行数据效果较好，比较两种结果，证明无论是滤波后信号的残留噪声还是消耗的时间上小波方法都优于α-β-γ滤波，且实现了数据的实时处理功能，应用前景好。     

组合预测模型的回归分析方法

给出求解组合预测权系数的回归分析方法，文章首先给出了基于最小二乘和最小一乘准则的线性回归组合预测模型，然后应用最小二乘原理得到权系数最小二乘估计值。由于最小一乘准则下，目标函数不可微，传统的优化规则方法无法求解，故文中提出用基于最小二乘的逐步变权方法进行求解。同时，还给出了百分误差绝对值最小为目标的组合预测模型及权系数求解方法。通过实例分析，表明组合预测模型的预测精度很高，回归效果很显著。     

连续小波变换在中医脉象信号处理中的应用

小波变换具有良好的时频局域化性质，适合于非平稳信号的处理。脉诊是中医诊察疾病的重要手段，脉象反映的是人体的生理与病理信息，脉象信号具有随机性和非线性等特点。应用连续小波变换分析了15例海洛因吸毒者和15例正常人的脉象信号，提取了吸毒者脉象信号中的异常信息，为戒毒治疗的评估与改进提供客观依据。在尺度0.1、0.2、0.3和0.4下，对每一例脉象信号分别进行了处理，发现在0.2-0.4s时间间隔内，海洛因吸毒者和正常人脉象信号的连续小波变换系数间存在显著差异，并提出了用于划分海洛因吸毒者一正常人的临界参数。研究结果表明，连续小波变换是处理脉象信号的有效方法。     

基于CAN总线构成的分布式通信网络的应用

在石油钻井测控系统的设计中，考虑到构成测控系统的各独立单元之间数据交换较为频繁，测控系统所处的工作环境较为恶劣，对测控系统分布式通信网络的通信速度、通信距离、抗干扰性等都有较高要求的实际需求，文中介绍了利用控制器局域网（CAN）组建的分布式通信网络模块的方案。实践证明，以CAN总线作为构架来组建测控系统内部的分布式通信网络在通信速度、通信距离、通信网络的抗干扰性以及通信网络设计的灵活性上都完全满足测控系统的实际需求。
