Morphology and contact mechanics influence adhesive characteristics of Dung Beetle’s bristle and Gecko’s setae

Geckos (Gekko gecko) use their hairy setae to adhere on various solid surfaces and dung beetles (Copris ochus Motschulsky) use their hairy bristles to anti-adhere in sticky environments. We study why two hairy systems express a conflict in functions by using SEM, histological approaches and functional experiments. Adhesion models and various parameters were collected and analyzed. Based on the morphological data and functional experimental results carried out by natural and denatured gecko setae and beetle bristles, we first demonstrated that the stiffness along the hair is 1000 to 30000 times that perpendicular to the hair. This stiffness difference is the key factor leading to the two hairy systems’ functional differences. Slope of gecko setae reduces contact stiffness, increases contact points and real contact area that results in amazing adhesive abilities. On the other hand, stiff bristles in a beetle have higher contact stiffness, which reduces the real contact area and decreases the adhesion between two contact surfaces. Deformation of gecko setae destroys the hierarchical structure, increases the contact stiffness and results in a decrease of adhesion forces. Similarly, deformation of beetle bristles destroys the erect structure of the hair, interconnects the separated bristles and thus decreases the anti-adhesive functions. These observations inspire us in designing anti-adhesive and adhesive biomimetic systems.     

Water-vapor source shift of Xinjiang region during the recent twenty years

The aim of this paper is to investigate the climate water-vapor sources of Xinjiang region and their shifts during the past 20 years. First, the principle and steps are roughly regulated to seek the water-vapor sources. Second, the climate stationary water-vapor transport in troposphere is calculated to distinguish where the water vapor comes from by ERA-40 reanalysis. In addition, the collocation between the transport and the atmospheric column water vapor content is analyzed. The results show that the major vapor comes from the west side of Xinjiang for mid-month of seasons, apart from July while the water vapor comes from the north or northwest direction. The water vapor sources are different for different seasons, for example, the Caspian Sea and Mediterranean are the sources in January and April, the North Atlantic and the Arctic sea in July, and the Black Sea and Caspian Sea in October, respectively. In recent ten years more water vapor above Xinjiang comes from the high latitudes and the Arctic sea with global warming, and less from Mediterranean in comparison with the case of 1973—1986. In fact, the air over subtropics becomes dry and the anomalous water vapor transport direction turns to west or southwest during 1987—2000. By contrast, the air over middle and high latitudes is warmer and wetter than 14 years ago.     

Sinorhizobium meliloti nifA gene exerts a pleiotropic effect on nodulation through the enhanced plant defense response

Sinorhizobium meliloti nifA gene is required for the expression of a bunch of nif and fix genes. Here, we report its pleiotropic effects on the nodule formation. Compared with wild type strain, nifA mutant sig- nificantly reduced nodule suppression rate in split-root system. The plants inoculated with mutant strain produced lower amount of daidzein and less necrotic cells on their roots. In addition, the defense genes failed to be evoked by nifA mutant at the early nodulation stage. These findings indicated that host defense response was one of the mechanisms mediated by nifA gene to regulate nodule formation during symbiosis. Even though nifA mutant could increase the number of nodules in host plant, it synthesized lower Nod factors than wild type. This suggested that nifA gene mediated multiple and diverse instances in nodulation formation.     

集艺术与科学于一身的巨人--纪念达·芬奇诞辰55O周年

2002年4月15日,是意大利文艺复兴先驱列奥那多·达·芬奇(Leonardo da Vinci)①诞辰550周年纪念日,中国中央电视台此前所做的街头随机采访显示,多数人知道达·芬奇是一位著名画家,对名画<蒙娜丽莎>、<最后的晚餐>有较深的印象;有些中小学生从课外读物中还知道少年达·芬奇刻苦画蛋等故事.不过,从采访中看到,许多人除达·芬奇的艺术作品和逸闻趣事外,对达·芬奇在科学和工程技术方面的成就了解得很少,也有人甚至对达·芬奇的名字全然陌生.     

推广的遗忘因子递推最小二乘算法在GPS中的应用

作者将推广的遗忘因子递推最小二乘算法应用到GPS以确定动态目标的轨迹，并与推广的Kalman滤波进行比较，发现两种算法在GPS中具有各自的优点，当噪声相关性较大又不能准确地得到其方差时，推广的遗忘因子递推最小二乘算法好于推广的Kalman滤波算法。     

基于方向图的指纹纹线检出算法研究

指纹纹线检出大多是先按指纹方向图增强指纹图象，然后进行图象分割。但因指纹脊线内和谷线内的图象增强方向可能不一致，使得图象分割的效果不好。作者提出一种直接按指纹方向图进行指纹纹线检出的算法，它先采用拓宽的Prewitt算子计算指纹图象的梯度矢量图，然后用局部最大梯度法计算指纹方向图，最后用阶跃函数模拟从原始指纹图象和指纹方向图中进行指纹纹线检出。     

含ZrO2硅溶胶制备及烧成性能的研究

研究含ZrO2硅溶胶的制备工艺，胶凝条件，溶胶的热性能和烧成。通过X射线衍射分析证实，恰当地控制工艺条件可以使含ZrO2硅溶胶仅析出ZrO2晶体，而不析出SiO2晶体和ZrSiO4晶体。通过SEM观察分析，烧成工艺制度不仅决定那种晶体析出，而且对析出晶体的显效结构和晶体形貌影响很大。对使用含ZrO4硅溶胶增韧石英玻璃陶瓷有非常重要意义。

基于限制器的混沌控制

提出了一种使用限制器实现混沌控制的方法。当系统受控变量超出阈值时，对系统参数进行调整；当系统受控变量回到阈值范围之内时，则恢复到原有的参数。以Lorenz系统和Rossler系统为例进行了数值模拟，得到了满意的控制结果，并发现该方法有如下规律：控制的成败与否跟阈值和被调整的系统参数有很大关系；系统的初始值影响所经历的暂态时间。该方法在实际的物理模型中易于实现，且控制的反应时间很短，在需要高频响应的某些混沌系统的控制中具有重要的应用价值。
