Genome-wide association study of leaf architecture in the maize nested association mapping population

US maize yield has increased eight-fold in the past 80 years, with half of the gain attributed to selection by breeders. During this time, changes in maize leaf angle and size have altered plant architecture, allowing more efficient light capture as planting density has increased. Through a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of the maize nested association mapping panel, we determined the genetic basis of important leaf architecture traits and identified some of the key genes. Overall, we demonstrate that the genetic architecture of the leaf traits is dominated by small effects, with little epistasis, environmental interaction or pleiotropy. In particular, GWAS results show that variations at the liguleless genes have contributed to more upright leaves. These results demonstrate that the use of GWAS with specially designed mapping populations is effective in uncovering the basis of key agronomic traits.     

In situ backscattered electron imaging study of the effect of annealing on the deformation behaviors of Ni electroformed from additive-free and saccharin-containing sulfamate solutions

The Ni samples were electroformed from additive-free(AF) and saccharin-containing(SC) sulfamate solutions, respectively. In situ backscattered electron(BSE) imaging, electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD), and electron-probe microanalysis(EPMA) were used to investigate the effect of annealing on the deformation behaviors of the AF and SC samples. The results indicate that columnar grains of the as-deposited AF sample had an approximated average width of 3 μm and an approximated aspect ratio of 8. The average width of columnar grains of the as-deposited SC sample was reduced to approximately 400 nm by the addition of saccharin to the electrolyte. A few very-large grains distributed in the matrix of the SC sample after annealing. No direct evidence indicated that S segregated at the grain boundaries before or after annealing. The average value of the total elongations of the SC samples decreased from 16% to 6% after annealing, whereas that of the AF samples increased from 18% to 50%. The dislocation recovery in grain-boundary areas of the annealed AF sample was reduced, which contributed to the appearance of microvoids at the triple junctions. The incompatibility deformation between very-large grains and fine grains contributed to the brittle fracture behavior of the annealed SC Ni.     

协同多点传输中迫零预编码和天线选择技术

MIMO无线传输技术极大地提高了系统的容量,在实际通信系统中,整个网络是一个干扰受限的系统,小区间干扰对MIMO系统传输的影响是显著的,每个相邻小区的基站天线都可以看成一个干扰源．由于基站端数据处理能力的提升和回程容量的增加,多个小区协同多点传输技术引起了人们的广泛关注．目前的大部分工作都是集中于研究系统的容量（吞吐量）,而在实际系统中,每个用户的接收等效信噪比（即公平性）对系统的性能如误帧率等有重要的影响．对于每个用户为单天线的情形,研究了总功率受限和每天线功率受限下采用迫零预编码的系统容量和公平性．对两种功率约束条件下的公平性进行了分析,得到了公平性算法的闭式表达式．当每个用户为多天线的情形,为了降低计算的复杂度,引入了信道范数最大的接收天线选择算法,把每个用户为多天线的情形转化成等效的每个用户单天线情形,推导的每用户为单天线的公平性算法仍然适用．仿真结果显示,采用迫零预编码的多小区协作可以使系统性能显著提升．在相同的迫零预编码下,不同的功率分配策略对系统的容量和公平性有显著的影响．和用户为单天线相比,采用天线选择算法可以提升系统的容量和公平性．考虑了用户公平性时的吞吐量和最大系统吞吐量之间的折中关系,并给出了仿真结果．     

Discovery of a 1.0 Ma Yellow River terrace and redating of the fourth Yellow River terrace in Lanzhou area

Based on the aeolian loess sequence-stratigraphic division and paleomagnetic datings on terraces, we found that an undiscovered terrace with the age of 1.0 Ma BP lies between the Dunwashan terrace and Wuyishan terrace. This terrace recorded an intensive Yellow River incision event during that period. Results of paleomagnetic dating and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of the Wuyishan loess section and Zaoshugou loess section on the fourth Yellow River terrace (T4) show that the age of the fourth Yellow River terrace in Lanzhou area is 0.86 Ma BP rather than the previously believed 0.6 Ma BP. This result answers a long-term question in the geomorphology community of whether there exists a 0.8 Ma terrace in Lanzhou area. The discovery of the 1.0 Ma Yellow River terrace and redating of the age of 0.6 Ma terrace in Lanzhou area provide new insights into further research on the evolution of Yellow River.

电化学加工YT15硬质合金表面形貌特征实验研究

由于所含碳化物粉末与黏结金属的电极电位差等原因,硬质合金电化学加工的阳极表面蚀除过程较碳钢和其他金属更为复杂.以YT15硬质合金为实验对象,对试件原始表面进行统一加工条件下的研磨处理,使之具有一致的表面状态.在此基础上进行电化学加工实验,以SEM图像结合轮廓曲线,分析表面微观形貌的横向特征和纵向特征,获得表面材料溶解的特点和规律.实验发现,使用不同电解液获得的表面微观形貌特征差异显著,加工过程中的表面微观形态和腐蚀规律及变化特性也各不相同.研究认为,不同电解液产生的不同阳极表面膜特性和硬质合金材料固有的多组分特征是导致这种差异的原因,抑制硬质合金同类材料的边界腐蚀是获得良好加工效果的关键.NaOH去钝化能力较强,溶解速度快,适于成型加工电解液;NaNO_3及NaCl具有良好的钝化成膜能力,阳极膜无序破坏容易导致不均匀腐蚀,纯电化学加工不容易获得良好的加工效果,但通过合理施加外力控制阳极膜的有序破坏,则可提高表面质量,具有作为复合光整加工电解液的潜力;H_2SO_4+H_3PO_4成膜较均匀,活化作用较好,具有抑制材料不均匀溶解的能力,适用于具有一定表面质量要求条件下同时达到特定成型效果的加工.

构建了包括生产者和消费者在内的产品生命周期模型．基于社会福利最大化的视角,在一个统一的模型中探讨了最优循环性管制标准和减量化管制标准的确定问题,以及影响最优管制标准的主要因素．研究表明,要素投入的边际产品价值等于其净价格是实现社会福利最大化的条件;而回收再利用成本、要素的边际贡献、物质投人的价格、废弃物的处置费用是影响最优管制标准的重要因素．因此,政策制定者在制定EPR管制标准时,不能片面追求环境绩效还应兼顾经济绩效,以实现社会福利最大化．
