Exploring Regional Ecological Cultures in the Upper Reaches of the Yellow River in the Ming and Qing Dynasties from the Perspective of "Top Eight Views"

By studying typical "Top Eight Views" in cities like Xining,Lanzhou and Yinchuan in the upper reaches of the Yellow River,mountain and water landscapes in the study area were analyzed in terms of natural ecology;bridges,canals,ferries,pavilions,mansions,towers,temples,historical sites,production and living landscapes were analyzed in terms of humanistic ecology.On this basis,"Top Eight Views" in the upper reaches of the Yellow River were compared and the following conclusions obtained:mountain landscapes were distributed in the whole region,waterscapes unevenly valued in different cities,bridges,canals and ferries mostly located in Ningxia,temples commonly found in all cities,garden arts introduced into cities,traditional cultures carried forward by historical relics.Then the relationship between "Top Eight Views" and regional eco-cultures was analyzed,and it was proposed that humanistic and cultural connotations of these "Top Eight Views" contributed a lot to beautifying urban environment,satisfying needs of the locals' spiritual life,carrying forward local history and culture,enriching urban cultural connotations,expanding living spaces of local residents and improving integrated functions of cities."Top Eight Views" culture complied with the construction gist of urban ecological cultures,and was of great referential value for the construction of urban ecological cultures in the upper reaches of the Yellow River,and also the healthy,scientific and sustainable development of local cities.

Linkage analysis and integrated software GAPL for pure-line populations derived from four-way and eight-way crosses

Pure lines derived from multiple parents provide abundant variation for genetic study.However,efficient genetic analysis methods and user-friendly software are still lacking.In this study, we developed linkage analysis methods and integrated analysis software for pure-line populations derived from four-way and eight-way crosses.First, polymorphic markers are classified into different categories according to the number of identifiable alleles in the inbred parents.Expected genotypic probability is then derived for each pair of complete markers, and based on them a maximum likelihood estimate(MLE) of recombination frequency is calculated.An EM algorithm is proposed for calculating recombination frequencies in scenarios that at least one marker is incomplete.A linkage map can thus be constructed using estimated recombination frequencies.We describe a software package called GAPL for recombination frequency estimation and linkage map construction in multi-parental pure-line populations.Both simulation studies and results from a reported four-way cross recombinant inbred line population demonstrate that the proposed method and software can build more accurate linkage maps in shorter times than other published software packages.The GAPL software is freely available from www.isbreeding.net and can also be used for QTL mapping in multi-parental populations.

Grey Relevancy Degree and Improved Eight-Direction Sobel Operator Edge Detection

Edge detection is an important aspect to improve image edge quality in image processing. The purpose of edge detection is to identify the points in digital images with great brightness variation. However, the accuracy of traditional edge detection methods in edge extraction is low. For the actual image, the grey edge is sometimes not very clear, the image also contains noise. The detection result of the traditional Sobel operator is relatively accurate, but the detection result is rough and sensitive to noise. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes an improved eight-direction Sobel operator based on grey relevancy degree, which combines 5 × 5 Sobel operator with a grey relational degree and a new eight-direction grey relevancy method. The results show that this method can detect the useful information of edge more accurately and improve the anti-noise performance. However, the drawback is that the algorithm is not automatic.

Numerical study of strained InGaAs quantum well lasers emitting at 2.33 μm using the eight-band model

We investigate the band structure of a compressively strained In（Ga）As/In0.53Ga0.47As quantum well （QW） on an InP substrate using the eight-band k.p theory. Aiming at the emission wavelength around 2.33 μm, we discuss the influences of temperature, strain and well width on the band structure and on the emission wavelength of the QW. The wavelength increases with the increase of temperature, strain and well width. Furthermore, we design an InAs /In0.53Ga0.47As QW with a well width of 4.1 nm emitting at 2.33 μm by optimizing the strain and the well width.

Modeling and Robust Backstepping Sliding Mode Control with Adaptive RBFNN for a Novel Coaxial Eight-rotor UAV

This paper focuses on the robust attitude control of a novel coaxial eight-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) which has higher drive capability as well as greater robustness against disturbances than quad-rotor UAV. The dynamical and kinematical model for the coaxial eight-rotor UAV is developed, which has never been proposed before. A robust backstepping sliding mode controller (BSMC) with adaptive radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is proposed to control the attitude of the eightrotor UAV in the presence of model uncertainties and external disturbances. The combinative method of backstepping control and sliding mode control has improved robustness and simplified design procedure benefiting from the advantages of both controllers. The adaptive RBFNN as the uncertainty observer can effectively estimate the lumped uncertainties without the knowledge of their bounds for the eight-rotor UAV. Additionally, the adaptive learning algorithm, which can learn the parameters of RBFNN online and compensate the approximation error, is derived using Lyapunov stability theorem. And then the uniformly ultimate stability of the eight-rotor system is proved. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed robust control method adopted in the novel coaxial eight-rotor UAV in the case of model uncertainties and external disturbances. © 2014 Chinese Association of Automation.

基于改进RANSAC-EightPoint算法的单目视觉的自动初始化方法

为解决利用单目相机估计相机位姿时产生的尺度问题和尺度不统一带来的影响,需通过初始化方法来固定尺度,而初始化方法应无需人为选择两张良好的图片来进行初始化且要有良好的鲁棒性,提出了一种基于改进RANSAC-EightPoint算法的自动初始化方法 ,可自动选择有显著视差的两张图片进行初始化。通过随机采样一致性(Random Sample Concensus,RANSAC)与八点法(Eight-point-algorithm)结合的改进RANSAC-Eight Point算法来估计两图像间的位姿,使得对带有错误匹配的数据也有较准确的估计值。最后采用标准测试数据集和自己采集数据对该方法进行测试,并比较了利用该初始化方法后获得的轨迹和无初始化方法获得的轨迹与真实轨迹之间的差异。实验结果表明该方法都能对这些数据集完成初始化,通过该方法后所得到的轨迹具有全局一致性。

Modeling Yin-Yang Balance in Tai-Chi Diagram with a Melting-Freezing Rotating Device Part 3 -The Contemporary Tai-Chi Diagram,the Yuan-Chi Diagram and the Fu Xi's Eight Trigrams

The physical model describing the Yin-Yang balance in the tai-chi diagram via the melting and freezing processes in a rotating device presented in parts 1 and 2 is further developed for the contemporary tai-chi diagram and in the yuan-chi diagram. The contemporary tai-chi diagram shown in Fig.1 is a simplification form of the ancient tai-chi diagram presented in Reference [2]. There are two semi-circles forming the interface curve between the yin and yang in the contemporary tai-chi diagram. By knowing the location of the interface between the yin and yang in the contemporary tai-chi diagram, the requirement for the simulation model is to find the condition to match the interface location. The simplification changes not only the structure but also the physical insight of the ancient tai-chi diagram, which will be described in the present study.The yuan-chi diagram shown in Fig.2 is the combination of the Master Chen’s tai-chi diagram presented in References [1,2] and the contemporary tai-chi diagram.

Epigenetic Silencing of Eyes Absent 4 Gene by Acute Myeloid Leukemia 1-Eight-twenty-one Oncoprotein Contributes to Leukemogenesis in t（8;21） Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Background： The acute myeloid leukemia 1 （AML1）-eight-twenty-one （ETO） fusion protein generated by the t（8;2 1）（q22;q22） translocation is considered to display a crucial role in leukemogenesis in AML. By focusing on the anti-leukemia effects of eyes absent 4 （EYA4） gene on AML cells, we investigated the biologic and molecular mechanism associated with AML 1 -ETO expressed in t（8;21） AML. Methods： Qualitative polymerase chain reaction （PCR）, quantitative reverse transcription PCR （RT-PCR）, and Western blotting analysis were used to observe the mRNA and protein expression levels of EYA4 in cell lines. Different plasmids （including mutant plasmids） of dual luciferase reporter vector were built to study the binding status of AML1-ETO to the promoter region of EYA4. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay was used to study the epigenetic silencing mechanism of EYA4. Bisulfite sequencing was applied to detect the methylation status in EYA4 promoter region. The influence ofEYA4 gene in the cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cell clone-forming ability was detected by the technique of Cell Counting Kit-8, flow cytometry, and clonogenic assay. Results： EYA4 gene was hyperrnethylated in AMLI-ETO＋ patients and its expression was down-regulated by 6-fold in Kasumi-1 and SKNO-1 cells, compared to HL-60 and SKNO-1-siA/E cells, respectively. We demonstrated that AML1-ETO triggered the epigenetic silencing of EYA 4 gene by binding at AML 1-binding sites and recruiting histone deacetylase 1 and DNA methyltransferases. Enhanced EYA4 expression levels inhibited cellular proliferation and suppressed cell colony formation in AMLI-ETO cell lines. We also found EYA4 transfection increased apoptosis of Kasumi- 1 and SKNO-1 cells by 1.6-fold and 1.4-fold compared to negative control, respectively. Conclusions： Our study identified EYA4 gene as targets for AML1-ETO and indicated it as a novel tumor suppressor gene. In addition, we provided evidence that EYA4 gene might be a novel therapeutic target and a potential candidate for treating AML 1-ETO＋ t （8;21 ） AML.

Measurement results show the tuning range is 9.2 GHz-11.0 GHz and the phase noise of - 108.85 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from the carrier frequency of 10 GHz. The chip area of VCO is 500 μm × 685 μm and the power dissipation is 17.4 mW with the 1.2 V supply voltage.

Novel single-walled carbon nanotubes periodically embedded with four- and eight-membered rings

Based on experimental results, we obtain five types of single-walled carbon nanotube （SWNT） clusters with different chirality indices and diameters using density functional theory （DFT）. We then obtain the corresponding SWNTs by using periodic boundary conditions. Studies of the stability and elec- tronic properties show that the stability of the novel SWNTs is independent of the chirality index and relates only to the tube diameter; larger diameters correspond to more stable SWNTs. The electronic properties all show metallic characteristics independent of the chirality indices and tube diameters, thereby promoting the application of metallic-type SWNTs.
