基于PC系统的快速体绘制实现

由于体绘制算法需要强大的计算能力，通常在PC系统上难以实现满足交互式应用的绘制速度，因而阻碍了其应用普及。该文使用Shear-Warp体绘制算法，结合Intel公司的SSE2扩展指令对整个绘制过程进行加速，实现了基于中高档PC系统对256*256*256体数据的实时快速体绘制技术。     

基于三维目标建模的需求分析方法

面向目标的需求分析方法是需求工程领域研究的热点问题之一.在深入研究目前有代表性的目标分类方法基础上,提出一种不依赖于具体应用领域的、较为系统和完整的目标分类框架和建模方法.该框架从三个角度对目标进行划分,分别将其归类为操作性或非操作性目标,硬目标或软目标以及实现型或维持型目标.这三种分类虽然相互独立,但在实际建模时可以相互补充,形成一个完整的体系,为目标建模提供不同的帮助.在此基础上,还提供了一种目标建模的具体算法,可以较好地完成目标建模任务.     

Data association based on target signal classification information

In most of the passive tracking systems, only the target kinematical information is used in the measurement-to-track association, which results in error tracking in a multitarget environment, where the targets are too close to each other. To enhance the tracking accuracy, the target signal classification information （TSCI） should be used to improve the data association. The TSCI is integrated in the data association process using the JPDA （joint probabilistic data association）. The use of the TSCI in the data association can improve discrimination by yielding a purer track and preserving continuity. To verify the validity of the application of TSCI, two simulation experiments are done on an air target-tracing problem, that is, one using the TSCI and the other not using the TSCI. The final comparison shows that the use of the TSCI can effectively improve tracking accuracy.     

A single positively selected West Nile viral mutation confers increased virogenesis in American crows

West Nile virus (WNV), first recognized in North America in 1999, has been responsible for the largest arboviral epiornitic and epidemic of human encephalitis in recorded history. Despite the well-described epidemiological patterns of WNV in North America, the basis for the emergence of WNV-associated avian pathology, particularly in the American crow (AMCR) sentinel species, and the large scale of the North American epidemic and epiornitic is uncertain. We report here that the introduction of a T249P amino acid substitution in the NS3 helicase (found in North American WNV) in a low-virulence strain was sufficient to generate a phenotype highly virulent to AMCRs. Furthermore, comparative sequence analyses of full-length WNV genomes demonstrated that the same site (NS3-249) was subject to adaptive evolution. These phenotypic and evolutionary results provide compelling evidence for the positive selection of a mutation encoding increased viremia potential and virulence in the AMCR sentinel bird species.     

A QTL for rice grain width and weight encodes a previously unknown RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase

Grain weight is one of the most important components of grain yield and is controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTLs) derived from natural variations in crops. However, the molecular roles of QTLs in the regulation of grain weight have not been fully elucidated. Here, we report the cloning and characterization of GW2, a new QTL that controls rice grain width and weight. Our data show that GW2 encodes a previously unknown RING-type protein with E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, which is known to function in the degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Loss of GW2 function increased cell numbers, resulting in a larger (wider) spikelet hull, and it accelerated the grain milk filling rate, resulting in enhanced grain width, weight and yield. Our results suggest that GW2 negatively regulates cell division by targeting its substrate(s) to proteasomes for regulated proteolysis. The functional characterization of GW2 provides insight into the mechanism of seed development and is a potential tool for improving grain yield in crops.

基于伍德沃德-劳森抽样方法的阵列平顶波束综合

为获得高增益和强方向性,阵列天线应运而生,波束赋形技术在降低阵列副瓣电平、扩大阵列角度覆盖范围、抑制干扰等方面具有重要意义。其中,具有平顶形状波束的天线可辐射具有相同增益的波束,实现宽角度覆盖,且伍德沃德-劳森抽样具有方法简单、抽样点少、运算速度快的优势。因此,运用伍德沃德-劳森抽样方法对均匀直线阵列进行平顶波束赋形。通过计算抽样点数和抽样点位置,得到激励系数,确定阵元位置,计算出激励电流,从而求得各单元的电流分布,计算出阵列的方向图函数,利用MATLAB编程绘制方向图,并分析其基本特性,同时用控制变量法分析不同参数变化对方向图基本特性的影响。研究结果表明：综合的线阵单元数越多,抽样点就越多,综合得到的方向图就越接近预期,综合后方向图主瓣范围内的波纹起伏越小,副瓣电平越低。此外,定向辐射的平顶波束赋形天线在点对多点的无线通信中发挥着重要作用,也可以应用在车载和机载防撞天线、自动驾驶和飞行器等安全控制中心的核心组件中,市场前景广阔。     

A new adaptive state space construction method for the mobile robot navigation

In order to solve the combinative explosion problems in a continuous and high dimensional state space, a function approximation approach is usually used to represent the state space. The normalized radial basis function （NRBF） was adopted as the local function approximator and a kind of adaptive state space construction strategy based on the NRBF （ASC-NRBF） was proposed, which enables the system to allocate appropriate number and size of the basis functions automatically. Combined with the reinforce- ment learning method, the proposed ASC-NRBF method was applied to the robot navigation problem. Simulation results illustrate the performance of the proposed method.
