高静态动作压力下粉尘爆炸泄放标准的可靠性

粉尘爆炸泄放设计标准的可靠性对能否实现爆炸防护尤为关键.以中径70μm石松子粉尘为介质,采用20 L球形粉尘爆炸装置进行了4种泄放口径、静态动作压力在0.12~0.6 MPa的爆炸泄放实验,对比了实验值与NFPA 68和EN 14491计算值.结果表明,NFPA 68在预测高静态动作压力下的泄放面积时,随着泄放口径的增大,预测结果由保守变为危险,但预测结果精度较好且数值稳定;EN 14491在预测高静态动作压力下的泄放面积时非常保守,预测精度较差,数据不可靠.依据两种标准推荐的经验函数关系,分析了NFPA 68和EN 14491在预测高静态动作压力时产生这种差异的原因.     

Long-term increases in clutch size in common snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina) and diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin)

Clutch size (CS) is a well-studied life history characteristic, and optimal egg size theory predicts that CS should correlate positively with reproductive investment. Turtles are good subjects for studies of reproductive strategies because few turtle species exhibit parental care; therefore quantifying their short-term reproductive investment is mostly limited to measuring egg size and number. Clutch size is usually reported as an average value for each turtle population, and where CS variation is noted, it is usually attributable to variation in adult body size. In two long-term studies of ecologically dissimilar species we detected a dramatic increase in CS in a common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) population and in a diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin) population. It is unknown whether these changes are due to either variation in adult body size or resource availability; but the temporal patterns we observed have apparently never been reported previously. These trends remain unexplained and should be explored further.     

The expansion of GPCR transactivation-dependent signalling to include serine/threonine kinase receptors represents a new cell signalling frontier

G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signalling is mediated through transactivation-independent signalling pathways or the transactivation of protein tyrosine kinase receptors and the recently reported activation of the serine/threonine kinase receptors, most notably the transforming growth factor-β receptor family. Since the original observation of GPCR transactivation of protein tyrosine kinase receptors, there has been considerable work on the mechanism of transactivation and several pathways are prominent. These pathways include the “triple membrane bypass” pathway and the generation of reactive oxygen species. The recent recognition of GPCR transactivation of serine/threonine kinase receptors enormously broadens the GPCR signalling paradigm. It may be predicted that the transactivation of serine/threonine kinase receptors would have mechanistic similarities with transactivation of tyrosine kinase pathways; however, initial studies suggest that these two transactivation pathways are mechanistically distinct. Important questions are the relative importance of tyrosine and serine/threonine transactivation pathways, the contribution of transactivation to overall GPCR signalling, mechanisms of transactivation and the range of cell types in which this phenomenon occurs. The ultimate significance of transactivation-dependent signalling remains to be defined but it appears to be prominent and if so will represent a new cell signalling frontier.

一种自适应步长的复合梯度加速优化算法

自适应步长加速(Adam)类算法由于其计算效率高、兼容性好的特点，成为近期相关领域的研究热点.针对Adam收敛速度慢的问题，本文基于当前梯度、预测梯度以及历史动量梯度，提出一种新型Adam类一阶优化算法——复合梯度下降法(C-Adam)，并对其收敛性进行了理论证明.与其他加速算法的区别之处在于，C-Adam将预测梯度与历史动量区别开，通过一次真实的梯度更新找到下一次迭代更精准的搜索方向.利用两组常用测试数据集及45钢静拉伸破坏实验的实验数据对所提算法进行验证，实验结果表明C-Adam与其他流行算法相比较具有更快的收敛速度及更小的训练损失.
