工程弹性系统与系统弹性理论研究综述

工程弹性系统(engineered resilient system,ERS)是美国国防部(department of defense,DOD)应对越来越不确定的任务和环境而提出的未来国防系统发展战略,对复杂系统的工程实践与系统弹性理论都带来新的挑战。首先,对ERS提出的背景和相关概念进行介绍,重点对美国国防领域对ERS的一些观点进行分析,包括ERS的关键属性、弹性工程与现役系统关系、ERS设计中考虑的因素和ERS与系统工程的关系等,并对美国DOD优先立项的ERS项目研究进展进行了的研究。其次,对弹性相关的学术研究进行了述评,包括不同领域中弹性的概念、系统弹性不同的评价方法以及系统弹性设计方法,以便于对ERS的发展有一个较为全面的了解和借鉴。最后,在ERS发展研究基础上,从理论和应用角度对ERS和系统弹性理论面临的挑战进行了讨论。     

Illustrations with Real Examples of Using Ecological Regulation Strategies Against Crop Pests in China

In this paper, a series of examples from China, including those using ecological regulation strategies successfully to keep crop pests under control and those making more damages of crop pests caused by wrong cropping systems, crop distributions or extensive cultivation, were given and analyzed. From these, two pieces of experience were enlightened as follows： the first, the refoms of cropping systems and crop distributions must be beneficial to pest control or at least not increase the damage of crop pests; the second, we should further clarify the relationship between population dynamics of pests and cropping system/crop distribution, the basis for correctly laying down the ecological regulation systems.     

CONSTRUCTIVE KISSING NUMBERS IN HIGH-DIMENSIONAL SPACES

In the present paper, we focus on constructive spherical codes. By employing algebraic geometry codes, we give an explicit construction of spherical code sequences. By making use of the idea involved in the proof of the Gilbert-Varshamov bound in coding theory, we construct a spherical code sequence in exponential time which meets the best-known asymptotic bound by Shamsiev and Wyner.     

The Development and Application of Combined Thermoregulatory Mathematical Models

Thermoregulatory mathematical models have being developed for more than half a century and obtained more and more wide application. Among them, the "engineering-physiological" thermal models, which correlated closely to the man-machine-environment system, are the ones that developed most rapidly and have been widely accepted by thermal physiologists and environmental control engineers.This paper attempts to outline briefly the development and application of such kind of thermal models, discusses how to further develop and apply various combined thermal models in practice, and puts forward four respects of suggestions for establishment and modification of combined thermal models of man-clothing-cabin environment.     

Identification and classification of subspecies of Asian cultivated rice and their hybrids

Having reviewed the major classification systems proposed by various scholars across the world, it is found thatindica andjaponica underO. sativa L. are two major directions thoroughly differentiated from the Asian cultivated rice, forming the framework of the classification structure. A system withindica andjaponica as the only two subspecies is therefore reiterated. There are various ways to determine the indica-japonica identity of hybrid rice, but the “combined morphological trait index” (CMT index) method is more efficient and easier to handle, although the isozyme analysis, molecular marker analysis and grain quality assay methods are also feasible.     

条件植被温度指数干旱监测方法的研究与应用

综合应用归一化植被指数(NDVI)和土地表面温度(LST),提出了条件植被温度指数(VTCI)的概念,并将其用于干旱监测。VTCI的定义既考虑了区域内NDVI的变化,又强调了NDVI值相等时LST的变化,可解释为NDVI值相等时LST差异的比率。分别以陕西关中平原地区和美国大平原南部地区为研究区域,应用AVHRR和MODIS卫星遥感反演的NDVI和LST产品,以及累计降水量和降水偏差数据,证实了条件植被温度指数是一种近实时的干旱监测方法。     

Using of the surface plasmon resonance cytosensor for real-time and non-invasive monitoring of cellular effects in living C6 cells induced by PMA

By cell and molecular biology, the traditional life science research has been improved into modern ex-perimental science. Because cell is the basic structural and functional unit of the mysterious life, the study of life phenomena will be ultimately embodied into the study of cell biology. How to acquire a dynamic knowledge of the intricate biomolecular reactivity and process in living cells has become one of the hotspots in recent biological researches. For the complexity of cellular effects,…     

Insecticidal activity of residual Bt protein at the second trophic level

Since the first commercial release of transgenic crop expressing genes from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), there have been concerns about its potential impact on the environment. Research has focused on the ecological effects from second exposure to Bt prot…
