NPP distribution related to the terrains along the North-South Transect of Eastern China

Vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) is defined as the accumulative amount of organic matters per unit area and time, which is calculated from the difference between accumulative photosynthesis and accumulative autotrophic respiration by green plants. Since the NPP reflects the physiological and ecological characteristics of the plants and the interactive results of the environmental factors, it is an important index to evaluate a structure of ecological system, functional features and …

依据弯管流量计的工作原理,提出弯管流量计的标准化工作重点是流量计硬件结构尺寸的标准化问题.并介绍了在严格保证弯管流量计的特征结构尺寸弯径比(R/D)一致的前提条件下,通过实验确定相同管径的多个流量计的流量系数α值,其性能具有很好的一致性;再通过对不同管径流量计的实验比对,发现了流量系数随管径减小而相应增大的对应关系.从而证实了硬件结构尺寸的确定可作为这种流量计标准化工作的首要问题.     

铆接结构中缺陷的脉冲远场涡流定量评估技术

针对飞机机身铆接结构检测中难以对缺陷进行定量评估的问题,将脉冲远场涡流检测技术运用于铆接结构缺陷检测之中。利用脉冲激励频谱成分丰富、可提取特征信息较多的优势对铆接结构中缺陷的定量评估技术展开研究。首先,建立铆接结构脉冲远场涡流三维检测模型,对缺陷进行检测,从而确定缺陷位置。在此基础上,分析缺陷类型、尺寸对检测信号的影响发现直接耦合分量幅值与上下表面缺陷深度之间具有不同的变化关系,从而实现对缺陷的分类识别。最终,利用信号的过零时间变化量实现对缺陷深度的定量,在缺陷深度已知的情况下,进一步利用直接耦合分量幅值变化对上表面缺陷长度进行定量;利用间接耦合分量幅值变化对下表面缺陷长度进行定量。     

力触觉增强的虚拟现实工厂系统

现有虚拟现实工厂只能依靠头戴式显示器和手柄进行单向的视、听觉虚拟操作，难以进行双向的沉浸式触觉交互。针对此问题，采用力反馈控制器设计了一种力触觉增强的虚拟现实工厂系统。以Unity3D为基础，采用3DMax对工厂内多类型工具和零部件进行三维视觉建模，并通过反射探针、光照探针等组件进行立体化视觉增强。在此基础上，为虚拟空间物体增加刚体、碰撞体、关节等组件，建立虚拟空间的触觉反馈模型，实现了力反馈控制器与虚拟空间物体的实时触觉交互。实验表明：系统可提供重力、摩擦力、恒力等多种力触觉感知，支持对20余种工具、零部件的触摸、抓取等触感操作，能感受模型、轮廓以及质量等物理属性，实现了虚拟工厂中“视触听”多维立体化的沉浸式操作。     

A Simple Linear Regression Approach to Modeling and Forecasting Mortality Rates

Observing that a sequence of negative logarithms of 1‐year survival probabilities displays a linear relationship with the sequence of corresponding terms with a time lag of a certain number of years, we propose a simple linear regression to model and forecast mortality rates. Our model assuming the linearity between two mortality sequences with a time lag each other does not need to formulate the time trends of mortality rates across ages for mortality prediction. Moreover, the parameters of our model for a given age depend on the mortality rates for that age only. Therefore, whether the span of the study ages with the age included is widened or shortened will not affect the results of mortality fitting and forecasting for that age. In the empirical testing, the regression results using the mortality data for the UK, USA and Japan show a satisfactory goodness of fit, which convinces us of the appropriateness of the linear assumption. Empirical illustrations further show that our model's performances of fitting and forecasting mortality rates are quite satisfactory compared with the existing well‐known mortality models.

Small molecule activators of SIRT1 as therapeutics for the treatment of type 2 diabetes

Calorie restriction extends lifespan and produces a metabolic profile desirable for treating diseases of ageing such as type 2 diabetes. SIRT1, an NAD+-dependent deacetylase, is a principal modulator of pathways downstream of calorie restriction that produce beneficial effects on glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic SIRT1 activator, mimics the anti-ageing effects of calorie restriction in lower organisms and in mice fed a high-fat diet ameliorates insulin resistance, increases mitochondrial content, and prolongs survival. Here we describe the identification and characterization of small molecule activators of SIRT1 that are structurally unrelated to, and 1,000-fold more potent than, resveratrol. These compounds bind to the SIRT1 enzyme-peptide substrate complex at an allosteric site amino-terminal to the catalytic domain and lower the Michaelis constant for acetylated substrates. In diet-induced obese and genetically obese mice, these compounds improve insulin sensitivity, lower plasma glucose, and increase mitochondrial capacity. In Zucker fa/fa rats, hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp studies demonstrate that SIRT1 activators improve whole-body glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and liver. Thus, SIRT1 activation is a promising new therapeutic approach for treating diseases of ageing such as type 2 diabetes.
