Drosophila Piwi functions in Hsp90-mediated suppression of phenotypic variation

Canalization, also known as developmental robustness, describes an organism's ability to produce the same phenotype despite genotypic variations and environmental influences. In Drosophila, Hsp90, the trithorax-group proteins and transposon silencing have been previously implicated in canalization. Despite this, the molecular mechanism underlying canalization remains elusive. Here using a Drosophila eye-outgrowth assay sensitized by the dominant Kr(irregular facets-1)(Kr(If-1)) allele, we show that the Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway, but not the short interfering RNA or micro RNA pathway, is involved in canalization. Furthermore, we isolated a protein complex composed of Hsp90, Piwi and Hop, the Hsp70/Hsp90 organizing protein homolog, and we demonstrated the function of this complex in canalization. Our data indicate that Hsp90 and Hop regulate the piRNA pathway through Piwi to mediate canalization. Moreover, they point to epigenetic silencing of the expression of existing genetic variants and the suppression of transposon-induced new genetic variation as two major mechanisms underlying piRNA pathway-mediated canalization.

嵌入式系统上的图形界面输入引擎的研究

嵌入式系统上的图形用户界面（GUI）由于基于不同的软硬件平台,输入设备有很大差别,所以开发者在移植时要为不同的输入设备开发其与GUI之间的接口,以使得GUI能够正确响应用户的输入。GUI的输入引擎就是介于GUI处理核心和操作系统的输入设备驱动程序之间的一组抽象接口,它的功能是使不同的输入设备的驱动程序能够无缝地连接到GUI的消息处理程序中。因此,输入引擎可以改善GUI的可移植性。在基于at91rm9200微处理器和嵌入式Linux操作系统的软硬件平台上．讨论了开发GUI输入引擎的一般方法,并结合一个具体的GUI系统——MiniGUI,给出了一个输入引擎实例的开发过程。

Experimental study of heat transfer of ultra-supercritical pressure water in vertical upward internally ribbed tube

Under ultra-supercritical pressure, the heat transfer characteristics of water in vertical upward 4-head internally ribbed tubes with a diameter of 28.65mm and thickness of 8mm were experimentally studied. The experiments were performed at P=25～34MPa, G=450～1800kg/(m2·s) and q=200～600kW/m2. The results show that the pressure has only a moderate effect on the heat transfer of ultra-supercritical water when the water temperature is below the pseudocritical point. Sharp rise of the wall temperature near the pesudocritical region occurs earlier at a higher pressure. Increasing the mass velocity improves the heat transfer with a much stronger effect below the pesudocritical point than that above the pesudocritical point. For given pressure and mass velocity, the inner wall heat flux also shows a significant effect on the inner wall temperature, with a higher inner wall heat flux leading to a higher inner wall temperature. Increasing of inner wall heat flux leads to an early occurrence of sharp rise of the wall temperature. Correlations of heat transfer coefficients are also presented for vertical upward internally ribbed tubes.     

关于牛顿“碑文”翻译的一个争论

诗人蒲柏曾给牛顿拟过一个碑文，后来虽未予采用，但该诗却流传甚广，很多关于牛顿的文章都引用过它。其后，另一个英国诗人J．C．斯奎尔，按同样的形式又续了一首诗。对于后一首诗准确的理解和翻译，曾经引起了一场很热烈的争论。

下伏空洞顶板承载力的计算方法综述

顶板承载力问题主要存在于矿山开采、采空区以及岩溶区工程建设中。将应用于下伏空洞顶板承载力计算的理论方法归纳为弹性理论和极限分析方法2种,其中极限分析方法包括极限平衡法和极限分析上限法。对于具体问题的求解,利用弹性理论时,关键是选取合理的力学模型;利用极限分析方法时,关键是给出恰当破坏模式的假定。目前对于偏心荷载作用下的顶板破坏机理研究较少,尚没有成熟的理论计算方法,该方面的研究有待加强。
