氨合成反应的BOC—MP法研究

用键级守恒莫尔势函数法（ＢＯＣ－ＭＰ）研究了铁催化剂表面氨合成反应的缔合式和解离式两种机理，计算表明缔合式机理速控步骤的活化能垒Ｎ２，ａｄ＋Ｈａｄ→ＮＨａｄ＋Ｎ（９２ｋＪｍｏｌ－１）低于解离式机理速控步骤Ｎａｄ＋Ｈａｄ→ＮＨａｄ（１６３ｋＪｍｏｌ－１）的活化能垒，但反应Ｎ２，ａｄ→Ｎａｄ＋Ｎａｄ（５０ｋＪｍｏｌ－１）的活化能垒又明显低于缔合式途径速控步骤的活化能垒．由此可推断，在铁催化剂表面存在着两种氨合成竞争反应途径，但缔合式机理在反应能量学上较为有利．     

基于三维激光技术的路面坑槽多维度指标检测

为实现沥青路面坑槽深度、面积和体积等多维度指标的自动、准确检测,利用三维激光技术对室内坑槽模型进行扫描,基于Matlab软件对激光点云数据采用不规则三角网(TIN)平面插值法重构了坑槽三维模型,进而结合等高线提取确定了坑槽边界,实现了坑槽多维度指标自动计算;对比了不同坑槽多维度指标计算误差,研究了激光线纵向间距对计算误差影响规律.研究结果表明:坑槽深度、面积和体积指标的最大相对误差分别为3.96%、4.58%和4.74%;当激光线纵向间距从1mm逐渐增大至20mm时,坑槽多维度指标计算相对误差逐渐增加;当间距为5mm时,坑槽深度、面积和体积指标的最大相对误差分别为4.65%、6.32%和7.17%;当间距大于5mm后,坑槽三维重构模型逐渐失真并出现了部分缺失,从而导致多维度指标检测误差的增大;因此,为保证坑槽多维度指标检测准确度建议激光线纵向间距应不大于5mm;坑槽多维度指标准确获取将为路面破损层位判定、严重程度评价和修补材料估算提供依据.     

A Simple Linear Regression Approach to Modeling and Forecasting Mortality Rates

Observing that a sequence of negative logarithms of 1‐year survival probabilities displays a linear relationship with the sequence of corresponding terms with a time lag of a certain number of years, we propose a simple linear regression to model and forecast mortality rates. Our model assuming the linearity between two mortality sequences with a time lag each other does not need to formulate the time trends of mortality rates across ages for mortality prediction. Moreover, the parameters of our model for a given age depend on the mortality rates for that age only. Therefore, whether the span of the study ages with the age included is widened or shortened will not affect the results of mortality fitting and forecasting for that age. In the empirical testing, the regression results using the mortality data for the UK, USA and Japan show a satisfactory goodness of fit, which convinces us of the appropriateness of the linear assumption. Empirical illustrations further show that our model's performances of fitting and forecasting mortality rates are quite satisfactory compared with the existing well‐known mortality models.

Recovery of learning and memory is associated with chromatin remodelling

Neurodegenerative diseases of the central nervous system are often associated with impaired learning and memory, eventually leading to dementia. An important aspect in pre-clinical research is the exploration of strategies to re-establish learning ability and access to long-term memories. By using a mouse model that allows temporally and spatially restricted induction of neuronal loss, we show here that environmental enrichment reinstated learning behaviour and re-established access to long-term memories after significant brain atrophy and neuronal loss had already occurred. Environmental enrichment correlated with chromatin modifications (increased histone-tail acetylation). Moreover, increased histone acetylation by inhibitors of histone deacetylases induced sprouting of dendrites, an increased number of synapses, and reinstated learning behaviour and access to long-term memories. These data suggest that inhibition of histone deacetylases might be a suitable therapeutic avenue for neurodegenerative diseases associated with learning and memory impairment, and raises the possibility of recovery of long-term memories in patients with dementia.     

Corridors of migrating neurons in the human brain and their decline during infancy

The subventricular zone of many adult non-human mammals generates large numbers of new neurons destined for the olfactory bulb. Along the walls of the lateral ventricles, immature neuronal progeny migrate in tangentially oriented chains that coalesce into a rostral migratory stream (RMS) connecting the subventricular zone to the olfactory bulb. The adult human subventricular zone, in contrast, contains a hypocellular gap layer separating the ependymal lining from a periventricular ribbon of astrocytes. Some of these subventricular zone astrocytes can function as neural stem cells in vitro, but their function in vivo remains controversial. An initial report found few subventricular zone proliferating cells and rare migrating immature neurons in the RMS of adult humans. In contrast, a subsequent study indicated robust proliferation and migration in the human subventricular zone and RMS. Here we find that the infant human subventricular zone and RMS contain an extensive corridor of migrating immature neurons before 18 months of age but, contrary to previous reports, this germinal activity subsides in older children and is nearly extinct by adulthood. Surprisingly, during this limited window of neurogenesis, not all new neurons in the human subventricular zone are destined for the olfactory bulb--we describe a major migratory pathway that targets the prefrontal cortex in humans. Together, these findings reveal robust streams of tangentially migrating immature neurons in human early postnatal subventricular zone and cortex. These pathways represent potential targets of neurological injuries affecting neonates.
