Quantitative genetic models of sexual selection

Summary Quantitative genetic models of sexual selection have disporven some of the central tenets of both the handicap mechanism and the sexy son hypothesis. These results suggest that the good genes approach to sexual selection may generally lead to erroneous results.Runaway sexual selection seems possible under a wide variety of circumstances. Quantittive genetic models have revealed runaway processes for sexually selected attributes expressed in both sexes and for attributes of parental care. Furthermore, the runaway could occur simultaneously in a series of populations that straddle an environmental gradient. While the models support the feasibility of runaway processes, empirical studies are needed to evaluate whether runaways actually happen. Estimates of critical genetic parameters are particularly needed, as well as measures of natural and sexual selection acting on the same population.The models also show that sexual selection has tremendous potential to produce population differentiation, particularly in epigamic traits. Differentiation is promoted by indeterminancy of evolutionary outcome, transient differences among populations during the final slow approach to equilibrium, sampling drift among equilibrium populations, and the tendency of sexual selection to amplify geographic variation arising from spatial differences in natural selection. Recent work with two- and three-locus models of sexual selection has produced results that parallel the results of the polygenic models^36–38,58. Thus the feature of indeterminate equilibria (outcome dependent on initial conditions) is common to both types of model.     

改进位姿估计环节的ORB-SLAM稠密建图算法

为了提高ORB-SLAM2系统的位姿估计精度并解决仅能生成稀疏地图的问题,提出了一种融合ICP算法与曼哈顿世界假说的位姿估计策略并在ORB-SLAM2系统中加入稠密建图线程来实现稠密建图。首先通过ORB特征点法、LSD算法和AHC方法进行点、线、面特征的提取,其中点、线特征跟上一帧匹配,面特征在全局地图中匹配。然后采用基于surfel的稠密建图策略将图像划分为非平面与平面区域,非平面采用ICP算法计算位姿,平面则通过面与面的正交关系确定曼哈顿世界从而使用不同的位姿估计策略,其中曼哈顿世界场景通过位姿解耦实现基于曼哈顿帧观测的无漂移旋转估计,而曼哈顿世界场景下的平移以及非曼哈顿世界场景位姿采用追踪的点、线、面特征进行估计和优化;最后根据关键帧和相应位姿实现稠密建图。采用TUM数据集对所提建图方法进行验证,实验结果与ORB-SLAM2算法比较,最终均方根误差RMSE平均减少0.24cm,平均定位精度提高7.17%,验证了所提方法进行稠密建图的可行性和有效性。     

Antiviral activities of anthraquinones,bianthrones and hypericin derivatives from lichens

The antiviral activities of some naturally occurring anthraquinones bianthrones, and hypericin derivatives were compared by the end-point CPE (viral cytopathic effects) method and plaque assays. Under optimal conditions of exposure to light, hypericin, 7,7-dichlorohypericin and 5,7-dichloroemodin exhibited strong inhibitory activity against HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus type 1) in both assays. Partial inactivation of the virus was shown by emodin, 7-chloroemodin and 7-chloro-1-O-methylemodin; the bianthrones and other anthraquinones were found to be inactive. Antiviral activity appeared to be, positively correlated with increasing substitution of chlorine in the anthraquinone structure. In the absence of light, only hypericin and 7,7-dichlorohypericin displayed detectable activity.

利用微电铸制作镍悬臂梁

为了设计出导电的Ni微变截面悬臂梁，采用了基于成熟的电镀技术的微电铸工艺．在分析悬臂梁的变截面结构和搭建微电铸试验平台之后，设计了整个工艺流程，利用近紫外线厚胶光刻、Ni微电铸、去除牺牲层等工艺实现了悬臂梁的制作．工艺实验结果表明，整个变截面悬臂梁的铸层表面没有缺陷，但不同微电铸面积的基座、粗梁、细梁的铸层厚度不均匀，其中，铸层面积最大的基座铸层最厚，面积次之的粗梁的铸层厚度居中，面积最小的细梁的铸层最薄．实验证明在一定范围内增大占空比和降低电流密度可以抑制这种厚度不均匀现象．
