The crystal-like anatomical uniformity of the striate cortex

The visual field is topographically mapped onto the primary visual cortex (V1), forming a retinotopic map which is far more detailed for the foveal regions than for the periphery. We found that receptive field (RF) size in monkey V1 increases with eccentricity, and that a 1—2 m² V1 region contains roughly a complete set of machinery necessary to analyze a visual-field area whose size is about that of the RFs of the cells. This allows V1 to be anatomically uniform, and is in sharp contrast with the retina.     

Picturing the moon: Hevelius’s and Riccioli’s visual debate

This article investigates the maps of the moon produced in the mid-seventeenth century by Jesuit Giambattista Riccioli (1598-1671) and Johannes Hevelius (1611-1687), whose cartographic projects competed for widespread acceptance. Although Hevelius’s Selenographia (1647) was applauded for its many detailed, self-engraved pictures of the moon, his cartography and proposed nomenclature were supplanted by Riccioli’s as offered in Almagestum novum (1651), in spite of the latter’s simplistic pictures and promotion of geocentric cosmology. Exploring this paradox through pictorial analysis, three types of images common to both Selenographia and Almagestum novum are compared, employing an analytical tool developed by Svetlana Alpers in The art of describing (1983). A focus on this debate exposes the tensions evoked by new technologies of vision and competing cultures of visual epistemology in seventeenth-century astronomy. As both selenographers grappled with questions about the role of representation and what kinds of knowledge could be generated visually, the successes and failures of their competing projects present implications for the course of visual astronomy, as well as for our understanding of the use of ‘visual technologies’ in a period of controversy.

收尘极板上沉降粉尘粘结性能研究

振打清灰效果不好，严重影响电除尘器的除尘效率和使用范围，而影响振打清灰效果的最主要因素是沉降粉体的粘结力。通过建立数学模型从微观的角度推导出粉尘之间各种粘结力的理论计算公式。分析了比电阻、外加电场和粉尘含水率等因素对粉尘粘结力的影响。在实验中，模拟电除尘器中的静电场，测出在不同外加电场下粉尘粘结力的大小，定量的反应了外加电场对粉尘粘结性能的影响。

籽瓜植株(地上部)的生长发育规律

对内蒙古地区有代表性的四个籽瓜品种植株(地上部)的生长发育进行了研究．结果表明：内蒙古籽瓜的全生育期为92-101d，籽瓜植株的生长发育可分为发芽期、幼苗期、伸蔓期和结果期，结果期分为前期(开花座果期)、中期(果实膨大期)、后期(种子成熟期)．发芽期、幼苗期以叶为生长中心，伸蔓期、结果前期以茎为生长中心，进入结果中期以果实为生长中心不同生育分期长短的差异主要表现在结果中期的差异上．
