Neuropeptide Y inhibits corticosterone secretion by isolated rat adrenocortical cells

Studies with isolated rat adrenocortical cells have shown that neuropeptide Y (NPY) inhibits both basal and ACTH-stimulated corticosterone secretion. These results suggest the regulatory role of NPY in corticosterone secretion from the adrenal gland, especially during stress.

基于最大期望算法的多时变信号DOA估计方法

当多个辐射源同时存在并交替发射信号时,接收数据间相互交错,且多个数据间并无显性关联,无源合成阵列每一次测量仅能获取来波的频率、幅度与相位等数据信息。为了同时、高效地实现多个参数的联合估计,提出采用最大期望算法进行估计多个时变信号参数估计的新方案,将一个高维多参数优化问题分解成多个并行的低维问题进行求解。该方法主要包含求解期望值步骤和期望值最大化两个步骤。求解期望值步骤主要建立接收信号与其辐射源的对应关系,即信号分选,而期望值最大化步骤采用最大似然方法估计辐射源的入射角信息。这两个步骤相互迭代,交替进行辐射源信号的分选与测向。同时,还推导出无源合成圆阵相位差数据的最大似然方法进行入射角的精确估计的闭合形式解,并通过接收信号的复数响应进行相位模糊解算,并推导出测向精度的理论下限。最后,通过数值仿真结果验证了该方法的有效性。

Heritable changeability: Epimutation and the legacy of negative definition in epigenetic concepts

Epigenetic concepts are fundamentally shaped by a legacy of negative definition, often understood by what they are not. Yet the function and implication of negative definition for scientific discourse has thus far received scant attention. Using the term epimutation as exemplar, we analyze the paradoxical like-but-unlike structure of a term that must simultaneously connect with but depart from genetic concepts. We assess the historical forces structuring the use of epimutation and like terms such as paramutation. This analysis highlights the positive characteristics defining epimutation: the regularity, oxymoronic temporality, and materiality of stable processes. Integrating historical work, ethnographic observation, and insights from philosophical practice-oriented conceptual analysis, we detail the distinctive epistemic goals the epimutation concept fulfils in medicine, plant biology and toxicology. Epimutation and allied epigenetic terms have succeeded by being mutation-like and recognizable, yet have failed to consolidate for exactly the same reason: they are tied simultaneously by likeness and opposition to nouns that describe things that are assumed to persist unchanged over space and time. Moreover, negative definition casts the genetic-epigenetic relationship as an either/or binary, overshadowing continuities and connections. This analysis is intended to assist practitioners and observers of genetics and epigenetics in recognizing and moving beyond the conceptual legacies of negative definition.     

轴向小型绝缘堆真空沿面闪络实验设计

根据大型脉冲功率装置中的绝缘堆的结构特点,设计了一个新的四层轴向小型绝缘堆.它由四层绝缘环构成,分隔水界面与真空界面.在该绝缘结构开展静电场计算和电路仿真计算后,进行了有机玻璃小型绝缘堆的真空沿面闪络实验,实验结果反映了有机玻璃圆环结构的耐压特性.根据实验结果推算圆环结构下有机玻璃的材料常数,并计算了绝缘堆的闪络概率.圆环绝缘结构的尺寸大于一般真空沿面闪络实验中常用的圆柱与圆台结构绝缘子,结构和尺寸更接近于实际工程应用的绝缘堆结构,从实验结果中得到的关键材料常数将更适用于评估大型绝缘堆结构的闪络概率.

Influence of contaminations on combustion kinetics in hydrogen-fueled engine

In this work, we investigate the combustion of hydrogen fuel through the wind tunnel tests. Two kinds of fuel, the pure hydrogen and the hydrogen-ethene mixture, have been chosen to heat the oxygen-enriched air. It is found that the stable pressure in the engine combustor and the thrusts is almost the same in two cases. A valuable feature we revealed is that the heating pattern of hydrogen and ethene mixture leads to a considerable delay of the establishment of the wall pressure in the combustor, compared with the pure hydrogen case. This phenomenon implies a longer ignition delay time for the mixture case. The shorter ignition delay resulting from the hydrogen heater is attributed to the continuity of chain propagation and the exclusion of the less active C-containing radicals.
