The green June beetle (Cotinis nitida) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae): local variation in the beetle’s major avian predators and in the competition for mates

The green June beetle (Cotinis nitida) was observed in northern Virginia for a second and third flight season. The study yielded some results that were consistent with earlier findings, namely that mate-locating beetles were vulnerable to attack by avian predators and matings occurred primarily early in the flight season. Novel findings included the following: (1) blue jays (Cyanocitta cristata) were the major predators, not common grackles (Quiscalus quiscala), (2) some jays appeared to selectively prey on female beetles, (3) competition for mates among male beetles could be so intense that some males attempted to copulate with already mated (unreceptive) females, and (4) the sex ratio of the beetle population feeding on wild blackberries remained near equality late in the flight season despite the fact that the sex ratio of the population of beetles at the emergence site became highly female-biased over time.     

Population biology of Sphaeroma serratum Fabricius (Isopoda,Flabellifera) at the Port of Mar del Plata,Argentina

Variations in size distribution, sex ratio, fecundity and morph frequencies in a population of Sphaeroma serratum were studied year-round. Changes in size distribution are most marked during the breeding season. Growth is arrested during the winter months. Young are produced throughout the summer; these overwinter, reproduce and then die. Differences in size of mature males suggest an effect of the timing of birth on life-span. Females are able to produce two broods. Offspring number is positively correlated with female size. Brood pouch mortality is estimated at 39%. Marked changes in sex ratio within the breeding season are thought to be artifacts due to sexual differences in behaviour. Comparison of reproductive traits of this, and other, populations shows a latitudinal pattern related to the duration of the warm season. Analysis of morph frequencies revealed similarities with European populations so far studied.

纤维金属层板的拉伸性能研究

GLARE是一种先进的混杂层板材料,由高韧度薄铝合金层和高强度玻璃纤维/环氧树脂层交替铺设而成,具有独特的轻质、耐疲劳、耐冲击、高阻燃性和耐腐蚀属性.系统地对GLARE层板进行了静力拉伸测试,展示了铺层结构和铺层类型对其静力学性能的影响,并对混杂模型的适用性进行了验证.结果显示:采用混杂模型法预测GLARE层的轴向弹性模量具有较高的精度,但进行强度预测时对于部分类型的层板需要考虑纤维的桥接作用.

我国商业银行发行次级债券国际比较及对策

根据《新巴塞尔协议》规定,银行资本金由一级资本和二级资本构成。一级资本即核心资本,由普通股和公开储备构成。二级资本也称附属资本,由非公开储备、资产重估储备、普通准备金、混合资本工具和次级长期债构成。由于次级长期债兼有债务和股权的特征,可用来补充资本金。作为银行资本有机组成部分,发行次级债还可降低资本金平均成本,提高股东回报率等。因此,面对外资银行的冲击,国内商业银行都相继选择发行次级债券来改变其资本充足率,特别是作为股改上市后补充资本金的一条重要渠道,发行次级债券一直为各家商业银行所采用。本文就商业银行发行次级债券进行了国际比较,并提出了对策。     

滑动窗口下数据流完全加权最大频繁项集挖掘

针对当前关于数据流加权最大频繁项集WMFI(weighted maximal frequent itemsets)的研究无法有效地处理频繁阈值和加权频繁阈值不一致情况下WMFI的挖掘问题,提出了完全加权最大频繁项集FWM FI(full w eighted maximal frequent itemsets)的概念.为了减少naive算法在处理滑动窗口下完全加权最大频繁项集挖掘时存在的冗余运算,提出了FWMFI-SW(FWMFI mining based on sliding window over data stream)算法.所提出的算法通过基于频繁约束条件的优化策略减少了naive算法中M ax W优化策略的无效调用次数;采用编辑距离比率作为WMFP-SW-tree的重构判别函数,可以有效减少该树的重构次数.实验结果表明FWMFI-SW算法是有效的,且比naive算法更有时间优势.
