Status of an invading mainland jackrabbit on Cerralvo island, Gulf of California

We report the first observations of the black-tailed jackrabbit ( Lepus californicus ) on Cerralvo Island, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Evidence suggests a self-sustaining population. Analysis of available records indicates no previous record of Lepus on the island. Introduction of the jackrabbit to the island appears to have occurred between 1960 and 1991.     

在实验室中寻找量子黑洞

正在物理学中,我们通过猜测来发现一个新的规律,然后将猜测的结果与实验结果进行比较。正如理查德·费曼所说:"你的猜测有多美没有用,你有多聪明也没什么用……如果与实验不符,那它就错了。"这就是物理和数学的本质区别。数学家也会猜测,其真理的最终裁决者是严格的证据。物理学家可以使用甚至发明复杂的数学工具,但他们的目标不同:解释宇宙的真实面貌。     

New bisexual form of Cavernocypris subterranea (Wolf, 1920) (Crustacea, Ostracoda) from Idaho

Males of Cavernocypris subterranea were found for the first time in an Idaho spring. The bisexual form is described on soft body parts and valves. The genus Cavernocypris now includes 2 bisexual and 1 parthenogenteic species.     

一种利用单通道母体腹部心电信号 提取胎儿心电信号的新技术

针对母体腹部混合心电信号中胎儿心电信号微弱、包含诸多噪声,难以清晰提取的问题,本文提出了一种基于奇异值分解(SVD)、平滑窗(SW)技术和最小二乘支持向量机(LSSVM)的胎儿心电提取新方法.首先,利用SVD从单通道母体腹部心电信号中重构分解矩阵,估计出母体心电参考信号,并利用SW方法对估计出的母体心电参考信号进行平滑处理;然后,利用LSSVM建立非线性估计模型,通过该模型和平滑后的母体心电参考信号估计出腹部信号中的母体心电成分,并采用布谷鸟搜索算法(CS)优化LSSVM的超参数;最后,将腹部混合信号与CS-LSSVM模型估计出的母体心电成分相减,即可获得初步胎儿心电信号,为了进一步消除干扰,对初步获取的胎儿心电信号再进行SW-SVD操作,从而获得较为清晰的胎儿心电信号.采用Daisy数据集进行实验,结果表明,本文所提出的方法在可视化对比分析和四个统计评价指标上均优于其他三种经典方法,可从腹部混合信号中提取出更清晰的胎儿心电信号.     

固溶时间对7050铝合金组织和性能的影响

采用金相组织观察(OM)、常温拉伸试验以及扫描电镜(SEM)等研究了固溶保温时间对7050铝合金固溶程度、微观组织及力学性能的影响.结果表明:随着固溶时间的增加,合金组织的回复再结晶程度增大,变形晶粒转变为等轴晶粒.7050铝合金中的难溶相Al7Cu2Fe和Al2CuMg随着固溶时间的延长仍然难以溶解;7050铝合金较理想固溶处理制度为477℃固溶1 h,经过121℃时效24 h后合金的力学性能最佳,Rm=605 MPa、Rp0.2=547MPa、A=12.8%.     

一种低功耗高精度电流比较器的设计

针对传统电流比较器功耗高、精度低等问题,提出了一种基于Wilson电流源的CMOS电流比较器电路.它由Wilson电流源、差分放大器和输出增益级3部分组成.由于Wilson电流源具有较好的恒流特性以及较高的输出阻抗,所以该电流比较器具有较高的比较精度和低延迟的传播特性.采用TSMC 0.18 CMOS工艺HSPICE模型参数对该电流比较器的性能进行了模拟,该电路具有较高的比较精度,当参考输入电流为5 nA时,电路正常工作.当输入差分电流为1μA时延迟为2.2 ns,电路的功耗在TT(typical)工艺角下为95μW.结果表明,该CMOS电流比较器具有较大的速度/功耗比,性能受工艺偏差影响较小,适用于高速、低功耗电流模集成电路.

DSC analyses of static and dynamic precipitation of an Al–Mg–Si–Cu aluminum alloy

In the present investigation, both static and dynamic precipitations of an Al–Mg–Si–Cu aluminum alloy after solid-solution treatment(SST)were comparatively analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). Dynamic aging was performed in the SST alloy through equal channel angular pressing(ECAP) at different temperatures of room temperature, 110, 170, 191 and 300 1C. For comparison, static artificial aging was conducted in the SST alloy at 191 1C with two aging times of 4 and 10 h. The DSC analyses reveal that the dynamic precipitation has occurred in the ECAPed samples, while the activation energies associated with the strengthening precipitates in the dynamic samples are considerably higher than the energies in the SST and static aged samples. The higher activation energies are probably attributed to the smaller grains and higher dislocation density developed after ECAP. The results in the present investigation allow the prediction of the type of the dynamic precipitates to influence the strength of the ultrafine grained alloy during ECAP at various temperatures.
