植物标签技术

传统的正向遗传学主要用于克隆表型或功能已确定的基因。转座子标签突变体可用随机标签法从带有活性转座子的自交后代中筛选得到,或用定向标签法从杂交一代中筛选得到,即用目的基因的隐性突变统合体与具高度活性转座号的统合体杂交,极大多数的FI个体为正常表型,但其中会有极少量的表现隐性性状的转庄子插入突变体。正向基因标签和克隆法在利用异源和低拷贝数品系时尤其有用。采用反向fCR或热不对称交替PCR（TAIL－PCR）且很容易从单拷贝或低拷贝数品系中获得插入于两侧的基因组序列。TAIL－PCR由三轮连续的半巢式PCR组成,所…     

库车山前致密砂岩气藏储层伤害分析及控制对策研究

库车山前致密砂岩气藏目前有效解决顺利钻进问题;而钻完井过程中并未形成配套的储层保护技术。以大北区块为例,分析岩性物性、裂缝、温压等的储层特征,进行岩石敏感性、液相圈闭、钻井液动态损害评价等实验;并在对钻井液中固相颗粒、滤液、处理剂吸附原因分析的基础上,确定当前储层伤害的主要机理。依据储层损害机理,提出应对策略,主要包括:提高抑制能力和减少工作液侵入能够有效的减小岩石敏感性和液相圈闭损害;应用高效的暂堵和快速封堵技术可有效减少渗流通道堵塞损害;调整完井工艺措施是当前减小应力敏感性损害的主要方法。     

对一种快速双重指数模算法的复杂度研究

最近提出了一种采用标准符号数二进制码(canonic signed-digit binary representation,CSDBR)来计算AXBY(modN)的快速双重指数模算法.该算法声明当指数的长度为k时,该算法平均仅需要1.306k次模乘.由于已知的此类算法至少需要1.503k次模乘,该算法具有明显的性能优势.然而,无论是该算法的提出者还是其他研究者均没有给出正确的复杂度分析.本文通过利用马尔科夫链模型对该算法进行正式的复杂度研究并进行一定规模的统计实验后证实,实际上该算法平均需要1.556k次模乘.这项研究的意义在于揭示到目前为止,基于标准符号数位码的双重指数模算法的最高性能仍然无法降低到1.5k次模乘以下.

Wolves in sheep’s clothing: three new cases of aggressive mimicry in Red Sea coral reef fishes

ABSTRACT

Here we document three cases of mimicry in coral reef fishes not previously reported in the literature involving two groupers (Epinephelus leucogrammicus and Plectropomus marisrubri) and a soapfish (Diploprion drachi) as mimics, and two wrasses (Larabicus quadrilineatus and Cheilinus quinquecinctus) and a blenny (Meiacanthus nigrolineatus) as models. All three cases are of aggressive mimicry, with a predatory species mimicking a harmless one, and in one of the cases, the mimicry is also Müllerian, where both the predator and harmless species are unpalatable.     

Liquid marbles.

The transport of a small amount of liquid on a solid is not a simple process, owing to the nature of the contact between the two phases. Setting a liquid droplet in motion requires non-negligible forces (because the contact-angle hysteresis generates a force opposing the motion), and often results in the deposition of liquid behind the drop. Different methods of levitation-electrostatic, electromagnetic, acoustic, or even simpler aerodynamic techniques-have been proposed to avoid this wetting problem, but all have proved to be rather cumbersome. Here we propose a simple alternative, which consists of encapsulating an aqueous liquid droplet with a hydrophobic powder. The resulting 'liquid marbles' are found to behave like a soft solid, and show dramatically reduced adhesion to a solid surface. As a result, motion can be generated using gravitational, electrical and magnetic fields. Moreover, because the viscous friction associated with motion is very small, we can achieve quick displacements of the droplets without any leaks. All of these features are of potential benefit in microfluidic applications, and also permit the study of a drop in a non-wetting situation-an issue of renewed interest following the recent achievement of super-hydrophobic substrates.     

On-chip natural assembly of silicon photonic bandgap crystals.

Photonic bandgap crystals can reflect light for any direction of propagation in specific wavelength ranges. This property, which can be used to confine, manipulate and guide photons, should allow the creation of all-optical integrated circuits. To achieve this goal, conventional semiconductor nanofabrication techniques have been adapted to make photonic crystals. A potentially simpler and cheaper approach for creating three-dimensional periodic structures is the natural assembly of colloidal microspheres. However, this approach yields irregular, polycrystalline photonic crystals that are difficult to incorporate into a device. More importantly, it leads to many structural defects that can destroy the photonic bandgap. Here we show that by assembling a thin layer of colloidal spheres on a silicon substrate, we can obtain planar, single-crystalline silicon photonic crystals that have defect densities sufficiently low that the bandgap survives. As expected from theory, we observe unity reflectance in two crystalline directions of our photonic crystals around a wavelength of 1.3 micrometres. We also show that additional fabrication steps, intentional doping and patterning, can be performed, so demonstrating the potential for specific device applications.
