mRNA differential display on gene expression in settlement metamorphosis process of Ruditapes philippinarum larvae

The mRNA differential display （DDRT-PCR） technique was adopted to find out the genes related to settlement metamorphosis development process of Ruditapes philippinarum larvae. In this study, we have obtained three hundred and forty-six amplification bands in total from pediveliger larvae, veliger larvae, eye spot larvae and post-larvae. Sixty-five out of three hundred and forty-six bands are distinctly differential display from band pattern, which can be put into four groups, standing for different expression characters. Sixteen differential display bands were cloned, sequenced and analyzed and nine different sequences are obtained in the study. Three sequences have higher similarity to the cDNAs deposited in database and three are very similar to the rDNA of other species, considered as the rDNA of Ruditapes philippi narum. The rest three sequences are found to be novel sequences after analyzed. Their accession numbers are AY916799, AY916798, and AY916797 respectively. We thought the novel sequences are possibly relevant to the early embryo development of Ruditapes philippinarum larvae and can provide some fundamental understandings that are helpful for the improvement of scallop seed raising industry.

Research on spring-back behavior of high strength steel sheets

To investigate the spring-back behavior of dual-phase （DP） steel, V-shape spring-back experiments with different bending angles, relative bending radii and blank holding forces were carried out in this paper. It is concluded that with the increase of V-shape angle or blank holding force, the spring-back of DP steel sheets decreases; while raising fiIlet radius of punch, which has the most apparent effects on spring-back, advances spring-back angle. Among DP590, DP780 and DP980, higher strength yields more notable spring-back due to larger elastic deformation. The difference of spring-back among these materials is relevant with the microstructure and mechanical properties. The total elastic deformation approximately equals the ratio of the strength corresponding to the applied load to the modulus of elasticity.     

Stationary entanglement of two atoms in a common reservoir

We study the dynamics of two entangled atoms interacting with a common structured reservoir. By means of the exact solution of atomic dynamics, we show a novel quantum interference controlled by the relative phase of initial entangled state of the atoms. The quantum interference has a great influence on trapped excited-state population and stationary entanglement of the atoms. In particular, we construct an explicit condition under which atomic stationary entanglement can grow over their initial value.     

An anti-main-lobe jamming algorithm for airborne early warning radar based on APC-SVRGD joint optimization

Main lobe jamming seriously affects the detection performance of airborne early warning radar.The joint processing of polarization-space has become an effective way to suppress the main lobe jamming.To avoid the main beam distortion and wave crest migration caused by the main lobe jamming in adaptive beamforming,a joint optimization algorithm based on adaptive polarization canceller(APC)and stochastic variance reduction gradient descent(SVRGD)is proposed.First,the polarization plane array structure and receiving signal model based on primary and auxiliary array cancellation are established,and an APC iterative algorithm model is constructed to calculate the optimal weight vector of the auxiliary channel.Second,based on the stochastic gradient descent principle,the variance reduction method is introduced to modify the gradient through internal and external iteration to reduce the variance of the stochastic gradient estimation,the airspace optimal weight vector is calculated and the equivalent weight vector is introduced to measure the beamforming effect.Third,by setting up a planar polarization array simulation scene,the performance of the algorithm against the interference of the main lobe and the side lobe is analyzed,and the effectiveness of the algorithm is verified under the condition of short snapshot number and certain signal to interference plus noise ratio.     

Synthesis and performance of Ca-α/β-SiAlON composites from tailings

Ca-α/β-SiAlON composites were prepared using Ca-α/β-SiAlON powder synthesized from gold ore tailings, which contained abundant Si and Al elements as the major raw materials together with minor additives, through a pressure-less sintering method. The influences of sintering temperature on the phase composition and microstructure of the composites were analyzed. The scanning electron microscopy images of the composites show the interlacing of grains with elongated columnar, short columnar and plate-like morphologies. The composites sintered at 1520℃ for 6 h have a flexural strength of 352 MPa, Vickers hardness of 11.2 GPa, and fracture toughness of 4.8 MPa·m1/2. The relative content of each phase in the products is I(Ca-α-SiAlON):I(β-SiAlON):I(Fe₃Si) = 23:74:3, where I_i stands for the diffraction peak intensity of phase i.     

Morphology controllable growth of CaO/amorphous carbon ropes by a hydrothermal approach

A versatile hydrothermal strategy for the growth of a centimeter-sized CaO/amorphous carbon rope was introduced in this article. It is demonstrated that the centimeter-sized rope is composed of abundant amorphous carbon “belt” and “stick” with small polygonal CaO particles in the size of 3.0–5.0 nm embedded in the “belt” and “stick” framework. With the increase in NaOH amount, polygonal Ca(OH)2 particles in the size of 0.5–3.0 μm are found, instead of the CaO/amorphous carbon rope. This morphology evolution results from the competition of structure-directing and hydrothermal-carbonizing of organic agents during hydrothermal reaction. These results may give good suggestions for the controllable growth of newly unique morphological micro/nano architectures in solution phase reactions.     

Single-negative properties of Ba2Co1.8Cu0.2Fe12O22 and Ba3Co2Fe23.4Zn0.6O41 hexagonal ferrites

The electromagnetic properties of Ba₂Co_1.8Cu_0.2Fe₁₂O₂₂ (Co₂Y) and Ba₃Co₂Fe_23.4Zn_0.6O₄₁ (Co₂Z) were studied by measuring microwave scattering parameters. In the transmission spectra of Ba₂Co_1.8Cu_0.2Fe₁₂O₂₂, a forbidden band emerges due to ferromagnetic resonance, and the permeability will turn to negative in the vicinity of the ferromagnetic resonance frequency. In the complex permittivity spectra of Ba₃Co₂Fe_23.4Zn_0.6O₄₁, the negative permittivity can be obtained due to dielectric resonance. Therefore, Co₂Y and Co₂Z can be used to construct left-handed materials possessing negative permeability and negative permittivity simultaneously.

In addition, the representative strains have been re-checked and detected the mol% G C ratio of the DNA by China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC), the examined strains were also regarded as a new subspecies of A. salmonicida, and designated as Aeromonas salmonicida subsp, flounderac/da subsp, nov. by its isolated fish (Kareius bicoloratus ). Molecular identification of analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the 16S rRNA gene were applied, the results showed high similarity (99%) with the 16S rRNA gene of Aeromonas salmonicida from GenBank database. Cluster analysis of phylogenetic tree revealed that the representative strain formed separately bootstrap-supported cluster.
