Relationship between prospective memory and vigilance: Evidence from ERP

Event-related potentials (ERPs) were used in this study to investigate the neural correlates of prospective memory (PM) and vigilance. Twenty college or graduate students participated in this study. They were administered a PM and a vigilance task and physiological data were collected at the same time. Behavioral results showed that the RT associated with PM cues was longer than those associated with vigilance targets. ERP results showed that PM cues and vigilance targets did not show significant difference in the N2 but PM cues evoked greater N300 than vigilance targets, and vigilance targets evoked greater parietal positivity/P3 than PM cues, suggesting vigilance and PM have similar but also distinctive neural basis.     

LDCQ的距离更新策略

提出了在LDCQ中保证满足误差限制的距离更新策略．移动对象和查询边界的距离远近不同，它们相交的可能性也不同，因而对查询结果的影响也不一样．依据它们之间距离的不同，给予移动对象不同的偏差限：使得越靠近查询边界，移动对象的偏差限越小；反之亦然．其好处是减少了大量的不必要的更新，减轻了系统负荷．     

SLAC1 is required for plant guard cell S-type anion channel function in stomatal signalling

Stomatal pores, formed by two surrounding guard cells in the epidermis of plant leaves, allow influx of atmospheric carbon dioxide in exchange for transpirational water loss. Stomata also restrict the entry of ozone--an important air pollutant that has an increasingly negative impact on crop yields, and thus global carbon fixation and climate change. The aperture of stomatal pores is regulated by the transport of osmotically active ions and metabolites across guard cell membranes. Despite the vital role of guard cells in controlling plant water loss, ozone sensitivity and CO2 supply, the genes encoding some of the main regulators of stomatal movements remain unknown. It has been proposed that guard cell anion channels function as important regulators of stomatal closure and are essential in mediating stomatal responses to physiological and stress stimuli. However, the genes encoding membrane proteins that mediate guard cell anion efflux have not yet been identified. Here we report the mapping and characterization of an ozone-sensitive Arabidopsis thaliana mutant, slac1. We show that SLAC1 (SLOW ANION CHANNEL-ASSOCIATED 1) is preferentially expressed in guard cells and encodes a distant homologue of fungal and bacterial dicarboxylate/malic acid transport proteins. The plasma membrane protein SLAC1 is essential for stomatal closure in response to CO2, abscisic acid, ozone, light/dark transitions, humidity change, calcium ions, hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide. Mutations in SLAC1 impair slow (S-type) anion channel currents that are activated by cytosolic Ca2+ and abscisic acid, but do not affect rapid (R-type) anion channel currents or Ca2+ channel function. A low homology of SLAC1 to bacterial and fungal organic acid transport proteins, and the permeability of S-type anion channels to malate suggest a vital role for SLAC1 in the function of S-type anion channels.     

带漂移布朗运动的一个局部时的Laplace变换

在Borodin和Salminen(2002)文献中有关带漂移布朗运动占位时的Laplace变换结果的基础上,运用Li等(2014)计算局部时的方法,推出了带漂移布朗运动在独立指数时间e_q前,及停留在0处的局部时的Laplace变换表达式Ee~(-λl(e_q,0))=lima→0I(λ/a;0,a,e_q)=((2q+μ~2)~(1/2))/(λ+(2q+μ~2)~(1/2))。当μ=0时,本文结果与标准布朗运动的结果吻合。     

铁铬铝合金晶粒长大及合金中稀土元素

研究了不同稀土含量铁铬铝合金,在高温下晶粒长大及界面结构。结果表明:在1200℃以上高温,稀土组元(以La为主)对抑制合金的晶界长大有一定效果,La_2O_3可作为TiN相析出的形核中心,细小TiN质点可在晶界上出现,阻碍晶界迁移;在变温过程中,La向界而扩散,在晶界以La_2O_3形式出现,同时稀土加速氧穿过氧化膜向基体中渗透,导致Al_2O_3及La_2O_3在基体中形成。
