Butterflies and ants: The communicative domain

Associations with ants, termed myrmecophily, are widespread in the butterfly family Lycaenidae and range from mere co-existence to more or less specific mutualistic or even parasitic interactions. Secretions of specialized epidermal glands are crucial for mediating the interactions. Transfer of nutrients (carbohydrates, amino acids) from butterfly larvae to ants plays a major role, but manipulative communication with the help of odour signals is also involved. By means of myrmecophily, lycaenid butterflies largely escape ant predation, and certain species gain protection through attendant ants or achieve developmental benefits from ant-attendance. Benefits to the ants range from minimal to substantial food rewards. While most lycaenid species maintain facultative relationships with a variety of ant genera, highly specific and obligatory associations have convergently evolved in a number of butterfly lineages. As a corollary, communication systems are largely unspecific in the former, but may be highly specialized in the latter. The sophisticated communication between obligate myrmecophiles and their host ants is tightly connected with the evolutionary rise of specialized life-cycles and thus is a source of augmenting diversity within the butterflies.

世界文化和不可知论的政见——一个致力于跨文化融洽交流的计划

就世界文化课程内容的具体设置,及联合大学与传媒以更好地实现课程积极目标等诸问题进行探讨.通过多层次的论证强调指出人们始终持有相异或相冲突的宗教、哲学以及意识形态,尚没有一种普世真理足以使世间所有人心悦诚服.即便是广泛接受和运用中的科学知识,其发展亦受阻于人类本身的局限而不可确定.尽管科学在前沿问题研究上竞争激烈,也仍然无法回答和消除所有的问题和差异.因此,从全球或泛人类立场观之,人类现有的知识与理解能力具有不确定和不完整的特点,而这样的特点浸透在所有的具体文化信仰之中.认识到共同局限性的人们--尤其是政界的领导人--亟需摒弃极端的文化分离思想,以更宽容理解的心态思考和行动,这样才能避免不同民族及不同国家间的不断冲突和互相伤害.     

Growth of Magnetite Nanoparticles under Magnetic Fields

1 Introduction Over the past several years, the preparation and characterization ofnanoscale magnetic materials, especially one-dimensional (1D) nanostructure, have attracted much attention as the nanomaterials would allow investigating the fundamental aspects of magnetic-ordering phenomena in magnetic materials with reduced dimensions and could lead to new potential applications such as data storage technology[1-6].

Experimental Study and Numerical Simulation of the Casting-Forging Complex Near Net Forming of Alternator Claw-pole

As a newly developed precision technology, casting-forging complex near net forming process is utilized to produce complex components with a short lead time, low cost and high precision, thus to accelerate the response speed of the market and enhance the competitive power of products. In this paper, the casting-forging complex near net forming process of alternator claw pole was developed and investigated with a combination of experimental and numerical simulation method. Qualified near net workpiece was manufactured, mechanical parameter and relative field information during the forming process was also obtained. While the alternator claw-pole is processed with this technology, the forming force is small, the process is short and the quality of forgings is perfect. Therefore, the complex casting-forging near net forming process of claw-pole is an energy and material saving technology, which will have a vast developing and application prospect in the future.     

A Theoretical Approach for Estimating Fracture Toughness of Ductile Metals

Fracture toughness is very important when applying Damage Tolerance Design and Assessment Techniques. The traditional testing approach for obtaining fracture toughness values is costly and time consuming. In order to estimate the fracture toughness of ductile metals, the fracture mechanics theory, materials plastic deformation theory and materials constructive relationships are employed here. A series of formulae and a theoretical approach are presented to calculate fracture toughness values of different materials in the plane stress and plane strain conditions. Compared with test results, evaluated values have a good agreement.     

卫星低频电磁辐射在轨探测研究

利用地球空间探测双星计划探测一号卫星上的磁场波动分析仪的原始数据, 分析了探测一号卫星在轨电磁辐射的特性. 结果显示卫星的电磁辐射主要集中在30 Hz以下. 在30 Hz以上, 卫星的电磁辐射最多延伸到 190 Hz左右, 而且强度明显减弱. 在 190 Hz以下的卫星电磁辐射具有与卫星姿态相关的长周期变化. 在 190~830 Hz的范围的电磁辐射有不明显的长周期变化特征. 830~3990 Hz范围的电磁辐射没有长周期变化特征. 卫星电磁辐射的长周期变化是由卫星姿态变化造成的. 卫星姿态变化引起卫星太阳方位角变化. 卫星太阳方位角越大, 卫星电磁辐射越大. 卫星太阳方位角从90.6增加到93.6, 低于10 Hz以下的电磁辐射约增大为原来的9倍, 10~190 Hz范围的电磁辐射大约增加到原来的1.6倍. 卫星在＜10和10~190 Hz范围内的电磁辐射强度与卫星太阳方位角的相关系数分别达到0.90和0.91. 卫星在光照情况下的电磁辐射要比卫星在阴影情况下大. 卫星太阳能帆板电流产生的电磁辐射是卫星电磁辐射主要来源, 约占整个卫星电磁辐射的87％(低频段<150 Hz)和94％(高频段>150 Hz). 这些中国首次对卫星电磁辐射的在轨探测结果对于我国未来相关科学和应用卫星的设计方案的优化具有重要的参考价值.
