聚焦光束钎焊接头的力学性能及变形行为

研究了光束钎焊获得的对接和搭接钎焊接头的力学性能及其在拉伸载荷作用下的变形行为。光束钎焊对接接头的断裂强度σb、相对延伸率δ、断面收缩率ψ均低于被钎焊母材。同质接头的弹性极限σ0.01、屈服极限σ0.2与母材相当，而异质接头的σ0.01、σ0.2值仅取决于低屈服极限的母材，与高屈服极限的母材无关。对接接头在拉伸载荷作用下的变形是非均匀的，同质接头中的钎缝和近缝区的塑性变形量最小，而异质接头中屈服极限较高的母材一侧几乎无塑性变形。搭接接头在拉伸载荷作用下下会产生“折弯效应”，折弯程度随被钎焊母材屈服极限的增加而减小。对接接头的断裂是由纯拉应力导致的，而搭接接头的断裂是剪应力和拉应力综合作用的结果。     

一种基于聚类的粗糙集连续属性的离散化算法

粗糙集理论是一种新的处理不精确、不完全与不相容知识的数学工具。粗糙集理论只能对离散属性进行处理，而不能处理连续属性。中针对这一缺陷，利用连续数值属性有序性的性质和统计方差理论，提出了一种基于聚类的连续属性离散化算法。运用典型数据将本算法与现有方法进行了比较分析，得到了满意的结果。     

Lightning activity on the central Tibetan Plateau and its response to convective available potential energy

Lightning flash activities on the central Tibetan Plateau have been studied by using the satellite-based Lightning Imaging Sensor(LIS)database from January 1998 to July 2002.The lightning activity shows a clear diurnal variation on the central Plateau.The peak lightning activity appears at about 17:00 which is 3 h earlier than that in Jingxhou,Hubei in the same latitude belt nearby,indicating that the lightning activity is a sensitive indicator of solar heating on the Plateau.The lightning discharge is weaker on the Plateau than Jingzhou.Hubei and other low-altitude continental regions because of the lower convective available potential energy(CAPE)on the Plateau.The CAPE on the Plateau is 12 times lower than that in Jingzhou,Hubei,and 20 times lower than that in the sea-level region,such as Guangzhou and Florida.However,the sensitivity of lightning activity to CAPE changes on the Plateau is up to 30 times more sensitive than other prominent low-altitude regions.     

Inhibitory effect of the adenovirus type 5 E1A protein expressed in the yeast system

The human adenovirus type 5 E1A, a tumor- suppressor gene[1], codes for two major related proteins of 243 amino acids (12S) and 289 amino acids (13S) by al-ternative splicing in two exons[2]. Studies have been shown that E1A can regulate expression of many genes and cell cycle[3]. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments indicated that E1A could induce tumor cells differentia-tion, convert tumor cells into an epithelial phenotype, in-hibit tumor cell growth and metastasis and strongly en-ha…     

Efficient expression of human factor Ⅸ cDNA in liver mediated by hydrodynamics-based plasmid administration

The transfection of plasmid DNA into mammalian cells is an indispensable tool in the study of gene transfer and gene function. Since the original report in 1990 on the successful expression of a reporter gene in muscle[1], plasmid DNA injection has been widely used to mediate gene transfer study. As a gene transfer vector, naked DNA has many obvious advantages. It is easy and cheap to be prepared and more safe after transfection. But the plasmid mediated gene expression is low because of t…     

^210Pbex depth distribution in soil and calibration models for assessment of soil erosion rates from ^210Pbex measurements

Throughout the past decade, the potential for using nuclear weapon-produced 137Cs ( half-life 30.2 a) fallout to quantify soil erosion rates on both cultivated and uncul- tivated lands for medium-term timescales (≈ 40 a) has been successfully demonstrated in a wide range of envi- ronments in different regions of the world[1—6]. Because in difficulties of distinguishing Chernobyl-derived compo- nent from total 137Cs input in many parts of Europe, and in measuring low activity samples of…     

Cryptomelane（KxMn8-xO16）： Natural active octahedral molecular sieve（OMS-2）

The Xiangtan manganese deposit (XTM) used to be considered a supergene oxide manganese ore in South China. We reported a new identification of the naturally outcropping cryptomelane by examining the physical, chemical and structural features of the XTM supergene oxide manganese ore. The MnO2 content was over 90%, K2O more than 3%, and water from 2.2%-3.1% which is similar to one in zeolite. The cell parameters of the cryptomelane were given as a0 = 0.9974 nm, b0 = 0.2863 nm, c0 = 0.9693 nm and β= 91.47°. There was a larger pseduotetragonal tunnel in the natural cryptomelane that was formed by [MnO6] octahedral double chains with aperture of 0.462×0.466 nm2, filled with K cations resulting in some Mn3+ substituting for Mn4+ to balance the negative charges of structure. The finding is important not only for prospecting manganese resources in South China, but also in application of octahedral molecular sieve of natural cryptomelane as that developed in the tetragonal molecular sieve of natural zeolite o     

Design and application of 60mer oligonucleotide microarray in SARS coronavirus detection

In April 2003, a novel coronavirus[1,2] which was associated with cases of Severe Acute Respiratory Syn-drome (SARS) was first isolated and sequenced in Canada. The genome of SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) is 29727[3] nucleotides in length and has 11 known open reading frames (ORFs). Although the genome organiza-tion of this virus is similar to that of other coronaviruses, phylogenetic analyses and sequence alignment show that SARS-CoV is not closely related to any of the previously ch…     

Do multiple cycles of aeolian deposit-pedogenesis exist in the reticulate red clay sections in southern China?

Since the Quaternary scientists successfully dis-closed the paleoclimatic significance of the loess-paleo- sol sequence in the Loess Plateau, Northwest China, the loess-paleosol sequence has become well-known terres-trial materials revealing the multiple cyclic changes of Quaternary climates. As a carrier of paleoenvironmental information, it could compare beauty with the deep ocean deposit[8]. In recent years, however, the researchers began to put their sights to southern China. They try t…
