双湖记

长期以来,俄国都拥有着本文将着力研究的两个湖的主权:西伯利亚的贝加尔湖和南极的罗斯托克湖。它们都有着诱人的秘密:关于气候的变化、物种的进化、生物怎样在极端恶劣的环境下生存,也许还有关于其他星球上的生命。     

气候变迁、适应能力及其发展

政府间小组委员会(IPCC)提供的第三次有关气候变化评估报告，强有力的说明了由人类诱发的气候变迁正在发生，而且世界上所有的国家都将会受到影响。     

宽能带隙电子器件

硅集成电路和数据存贮是两种最成功的技术，目前，这两种技术继续以高速度发展。在集成电路技术中，按照摩尔定律，一块芯片上的晶体管数目每隔18个月就会翻一翻。而对于磁盘驱动技术，自1991年起磁头的总体位密度以每年60％至100％的速率增加。集成电路是通过对半导体应用电场控制载流子流动来工作的，因此关键的参数是电子或空穴上的电荷。而在磁性数据存贮中关键的参数是电子的自旋。     

时变系统的稳定性

§1 引言文献[1—3]都对变系数线性系统的稳定性进行了研究,特别在文[3]中利用Ляпунов函数法对缓变系数系统稳定性的研究,得到较好的结果,我们于本文中借助于文[3]的思想,讨论了一般变系数线性系统的稳定性,得到一些结果,改进和推广了这方面的研究。     

The dead-end elimination theorem and its use in protein side-chain positioning

The prediction of a protein's tertiary structure is still a considerable problem because the huge amount of possible conformational space1 makes it computationally difficult. With regard to side-chain modelling, a solution has been attempted by the grouping of side-chain conformations into representative sets of rotamers2??. Nonetheless, an exhaustive combinatorial search is still limited to carefully indentified packing units?? containing a limited number of residues. For larger systems other strategies had to be developed, such as the Monte Carlo Procedure?? and the genetic algorithm and clustering approach?. Here we present a theorem, referred to as the 'dead-end elimination' theorem, which imposes a suitable condition to identify rotamers that cannot be members of the global minimum energy conformation. Application of this theorem effectively controls the computational explosion of the rotamer combinatorial problem, thereby allowing the determination of the global minimum energy conformation of a large collection of side chains.
