Characterization of microbe cementitious materials

A new generation of cement, microbe cement, has been developed in response to the ever increasing awareness of environmental protection. Microbe cement is a new strengthening material based on microbiologically induced precipitation of calcium carbonate. This paper confirms the feasibility of binding loose sand particles using microbe cement and details the cementation mechanism of microbe cement. We have also prepared microbe cementitious materials (biosandstones). The compressive strength of the bio-sandstone, which depends on the content of calcium carbonate produced by microbially induced precipitation and the bio-mediated calcite crystal size, could be up to 12 MPa at an age of 20 days. By increasing the precipitated calcite content, the compressive strength and microstructure of bio-sandstone could be improved.     

Initializing K-means Batch Clustering: A Critical Evaluation of Several Techniques

K-means clustering is arguably the most popular technique for partitioning data. Unfortunately, K-means suffers from the well-known problem of locally optimal solutions. Furthermore, the final partition is dependent upon the initial configuration, making the choice of starting partitions all the more important. This paper evaluates 12 procedures proposed in the literature and provides recommendations for best practices.

地基板非线性力学响应的三维有限元数值模拟

利用有限元分析软件ANSYS,建立了地基板-地基土相互作用体系的三维有限元模型,通过与实验数据的比较,证实了该模型的正确性与合理性.在此基础上,分析了地基土的材料非线性、地基板-地基土之间的状态非线性、地基板的长宽比以及厚度等因素对地基板非线性响应的影响.结果表明,该模型可以比较真实地反映地基板-地基土相互作用的非线性响应状态.     

祖国统一大业与中华民族凝聚力

：中国传统文化历来注重国家统一，统一是中国历史发展的主流。实现祖国统一必须增强中华民族的凝聚力。中华民族具有极强的凝聚力，两岸统一是民心所向、大势所趋。台湾回归祖国，不仅对两岸经济社会发展有诸多好处，而且反过来会在很大程度上增强中华民族凝聚力。为了实现祖国统一，应特别注意做好四方面的工作：一、推进中国特色社会主义建设，提升综合国力；二、深化政治体制改革，加强民主化、法制化建设；三、坚持和完善“一国两制”方针，确保香港、澳门的稳定与繁荣；四、加强两岸经济文化交流，与“台独”势力进行坚决斗争。     

Noncoding RNAs: Different roles in tumorigenesis

A major portion of the mammalian genome is transcribed to produce large numbers of noncoding RNAs(ncRNAs).During the past decade,the discovery of small RNAs,including the microRNAs(miRNA) and small interfering RNAs(siRNA),has led to important advances in biology.The breadth of the ncRNA field of study has substantially expanded and many recent results have revealed a range of functions that can be attributed to the miRNAs and other ncRNAs.For example,H19 RNA,HOTAIR RNA,transcribed ultraconserved regions(T-UCRs),natural antisense RNA,transfer RNA and mitochondrial noncoding RNA have been suggested to play important roles in cancers and other diseases as well as in diverse cellular processes.In this review,we focus on the current status of several classes of ncRNAs associated with cancer with the emphasis on those that are not microRNAs.     

A fast pseudorandom number generator with BLAKE hash function

This paper presents a fast pseudorandom generation algorithm, which is based on the BLAKE hash function and can pass the random test of the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Statistical Test Suite. Through theoretical analysis and experimental imitation, our new algorithm is proven to be more secure and efficient than G-SHA1. Simultaneously, we introduce and discuss the BLAKE in detail. Its security shows that can be utilized to generate pseudorandom bit sequences, which the experimental results show the BLAKE hash function has excellent pseudorandomness. Therefore, we believe the BLAKE is one of the most potential candidate algorithms of SHA-3 program.     

NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT CONDITION FOR GLOBAL CONTROLLABILITY OF A CLASS OF AFFINE NONLINEAR SYSTEMS

In this paper, we investigate the global controllability of a class of n-dimensional affine nonlinear systems with n- 1 controls and constant control matrix. A necessary and sufficient condition for its global controllability has been obtained by using the methods recently developed. Furthermore, we generalize the above result to a class of affine nonlinear systems with a block-triangular-like structure. Finally, we will give three examples to show the applications of our results.
