Control of the cardiovascular system ofAplysia by identified neurons

The neural network that controls the cardiovascular system ofAplysia adapts cardiovascular function to a variety of different physiological and behavioral situations. It (1) coordinates the cardiovascular system with the renal and respiratory systems; (2) modifies both systemic and regional blood flow during food-elicited arousal and feeding; and (3) changes the tension of longitudinal vascular muscle to adapt the arterial tree to changes in body shape. Indirect evidence suggests that the cardiovascular control circuit may also play a role in maintaining homeostasis during egg laying. Several putative neurotransmitters, including acetylcholine, serotonin, R151 and R152 peptides, have been localized to identified neurons in this circuit.

多频带消除地滚波的方法

在叠前消除干扰波对地震记录的影响，必须充分考虑干扰波的特征地滚波频率范围低．空间分布也有自己的规律．用快速小波变换对炮集记录信号进行了频带分解，在单频带上利用KL变换联合中值滤波方法提取在时移后的窗口中表现为强能量的面波同相轴，然后合成多频带上的面波、用这种方法从原炮集记录上消除地滚波的影响，使有效波的能量得到最好的保持．所设计的方法已用于实际地震资料的处理，取得了良好的效果。     

Alzheimer's disease: fundamental and therapeutic aspects

Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of progressive and debilitating dementia affecting aged people. In some early — as well as late-onset familial cases, a genetic linkage with chromosomes 14, 21 (early-onset) or 19 (late-onset) has been indicated. Furthermore, a direct or indirect role has been attributed to normal or structurally altered amyloid -protein (concentrated in senile plaques) and/or excessively phosphorylated tau protein (located in neurofibrillary tangles). Degeneration of cholinergic neurons and concomitant impairment of cortical and hippocampal neurotransmission lead to cognitive and memory deficits. Several compounds are being tested in attempts to prevent and/or cure Alzheimer's disease, including tacrine, which has very modest efficacy in a sub-group of patients, and new acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Pilot experiments have also been launched using nerve growth factor (NGF) to prevent or stabilize the processes of cholinergic pathway degeneration. Alternatively, antioxidants, free radical scavengers and/or non steroidal anti-inflammatory agents may be screened as potential therapies for neurodegenerative diseases induced by multiple endogenous and/or exogenous factors. The recent use of transgenic mice, in parallel with other genetic, biochemical and neurobiological systems, in vivo and/or in vitro (cell cultures), should accelerate the discovery and development of specific drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.     

GMP-stimulation of the cyanide-insensitive mitochondrial respiration in heat-shocked conidia ofNeurospora crassa

Summary In mitochondria of heat-shocked conidia ofNeurospora exogenous NADH and succinate were oxidized mainly via the alternative, hydroxamate-sensitive pathway (70%) and only 30% via the cytochromic, cyanide-sensitive pathway which was predominant in untreated conidia; the alternative oxidase pathway was markedly stimulated by guanosine 5-monophosphate (GMP).We are grateful to Mrs A. Cattaneo for her skillful technical assistance.

联合干扰功率限制下的认知中继网络性能分析

频谱共享的Underlay认知中继网络中,为了保证主用户的可靠通信,要求次用户网络中源节点及中继节点的发射功率必须满足主用户接收端干扰功率的限制。基于主用户峰值干扰功率和平均干扰功率的联合限制,分析了中继节点采用选择协作解码转发协议时潜伏式频谱共享认知中继网络的性能。值得一提的是,考虑中继传输中由主用户接收端干扰功率限制引起的第1跳链路信噪比之间的相关性,推导了瑞利衰落环境下次用户中断概率和信道容量准确的闭合表达式。仿真结论显示,次用户中断概率与信道容量的解析曲线与仿真结果一致,系统性能因频谱共享的认知网络中次用户源节点与主用户接收机链路之间的相关性而有所下降,中断概率约有2dB的性能提升。
