Sensitivity dependence of surface plasmon resonance based sensors on prism refractive index

We theoretically and experimentally demonstrate that refractive index of the prism used to load metal film has significant influence on sensitivity of surface plasmon resonance based sensors. The prism with lower refractive index gives the sensors a higher sensitivity in detecting refractive index variations of a sample. We attribute this effect to the fact that a prism with low refractive index will increase coupling distance between surface plasmons and the medium under investigation.

普朗克常数h引起的经典物理学自然观的三种改变

物理学的研究成果,往往能使离物理学领域很远的哲学观念发生变化。普朗克常数的诞生,不仅使物理学经历了由经典到现代的“蛹-蝶”之变,而且还使人们对自然界的基本认识与基本观念发生了根本性转变。     

解读"风险社会"理论

“风险社会”理论指出:随着科学技术与现代化的高速发展,人类社会已经开始由以财富分配为主题的阶级社会向以风险分配为主题的风险社会转化,并由此导致了一系列社会结构和政治上的变迁,包括个体化进程、对科学技术和政治体制的反思等等。风险社会理论对中国的社会发展有相当的政策价值。     

基于LDPC码的WCDMA下行链路性能仿真

LDPC码是一类靠近Shannon限的高效信道编码，在AWGN信道下具有非常优越的性能。在讨论了LDPC码的基本原理之后，构建了基于LDPC码的WCDMA下行链路，改进了LDPC码的译码过程。仿真结果表明，在高速传输速率下（384kbit／s），不规则LDPC码具有优于Turbo码的性能，这对于LDPC码应用到复杂无线通信系统中具有重要意义。     

基于元模型的模糊Petri网反向传播学习算法

模糊Petri网是知识表达与并行推理的重要工具,但拓扑为非严格分层的结构。为在不增加虚节点的情况下实现模糊Petri网的反向传播学习,提出模糊Petri网元模型的概念,统一四种基本产生式规则对应的模糊Petri网模型。并建立元模型的结论置信度关于条件置信度的连续映射,给出了正向推理算法。为提高收敛速率,先通过基于回溯策略的反向推理算法,计算元模型结论置信度对条件置信度的梯度函数,最后采用Levenberg-Marquardt算法实现权值优化。     

^226Ra evidence for the ecosystem shift over the past 40 years in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

Surface seawater was collected for ~(226)Ra measurement in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre from July to October, 1999 and October to December, 2003. Combined with the historical data reported for this sea area, a declined trend of surface ~(226)Ra concentrations was observed since 1960s, indicating the ecosystem shift in response to global warming. On one side, the enhanced stratification of the upper water column resulting from global warming reduced the ~(226)Ra input from the depth, on the other, the temporal increase of biological production resulting from the climate-related ecosystem structure change strengthened the ~(226)Ra removal from the surface ocean. Both the physical and biological processes resulted in the decrease of surface ~(226)Ra concentrations in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. The temporal trend of surface ~(226)Ra concentrations was consistent with the trends of chlorophyll a, silicate, phosphate and primary production previously reported. This study provided ~(226)Ra evidence for the ecosystem shift under global change.     

Holocene climatic and environmental changes recorded in Baahar Nuur Lake core in the Ordos Plateau, Inner Mongolia of China

A 5.3 m lake core was drilled in Baahar Nuur Lake in the Ordos Plateau, and measurements of meangrain size, organic δ 13C (δ 13Corg), organic carbon content (TOC), C/N, carbonate content, carbonate δ 13C(δ 13Ccar) and δ 18O (δ 18Ocar) were conducted for retrieving the Holocene chronosequence of climaticchanges based on 15 AMS 14C dates. The record documented four major stages of climate change inthe Ordos Plateau: (IV) a cold and dry condition before ～7.65 14C ka BP; (III) a warm and humid stagebetween ～7.65 and ～5.40 ka BP; (II) a generally drier and cooler climate since ～5.40 ka BP with twohumid events occurring from ～4.70 to ～4.60 ka BP and from ～4.20 to ～3.70 ka BP, and (I) a dry climatecharacterized by complete desiccation of the lake after 3.70 ka BP. Stage III can be further divided intothree sub-stages: (IIIa) a warm and humid episode from ～7.65 to ～6.70 ka BP, (IIIb) a warm and relativelydry episode from ～6.70 to ～6.20 ka BP, and (IIIc) the magthermal and maghumid episode of the Holo-cene from ～6.20 to ～5.40 ka BP.     

Construction of a novel economy-climate model

An attempt has been made to construct a novel economy-climate model by combining climate change research with agricultural economy research to evaluate the influence of global climate change on grain yields. The insertion of a climate change factor into the economic C-D (Cobb-Dauglas) production function model yields a novel evaluation model, which connects the climate change factor to the eco-nomic variation factor, and the performance and reasonableness of the novel evaluation model are also preliminarily simulated and verified.
