Facultative Apomixis in an Endangered Dioecious Species, Woonyoungia septentrionalis (Magnoliaceae)

The breeding system of an endangered dioecious species, Woonyoungia septentrionalis (Dandy) Law, was studied in two natural populations, the Mulun population and the Dahuangni population, in Guangxi Province, China from June 2001 to early September 2002. The female flowers from previously bagged buds were treated respectively with paper bags, net bags and hand pollination by comparing with natural pollination. The results showed that female flowers treated with paper bags, net bags, hand pollination, and natural pollination all set fruits and seeds, but there was great difference in their fruit set, seed set, pre-emergent reproductive success (PERS) and seed germination rate for two populations. In both populations, PERS of hand pollination and natural pollination were higher than those of paper bagged and net bagged treatments. Among them, PERS of hand pollination was the highest, and PERS of net bagged treatment was the lowest. Both sexual reproduction and apomixis occurred simultaneously in W septentrionalis and seeds from both sexual and apomixis could germinate into seedlings. Therefore, the breeding system of W septentrionalis belonged to facultative apomixis. The apomixis in Magnoliaceae was reported for the first time.

《祖堂集》是唐五代时期语言的重要资料,“还(有)…也无”是其中一个典型的疑问句式,这个句式已有许多专家讨论过,但没有人将它与闽南方言“有无”疑问句式联系起来考察,而闽南方言的定型大约也在唐五代时期,笔者认为这两个句式在结构形式与语法意义上有着系列的对应关系,本文通过具体语料的分析对比,提出唐五代时期“还(有)…也无”的句式应当是闽南方言“有无”疑问句式的前身的观点。

Embryological Studies on Facultative Apomixis in Apluda mutica (Gramineae)

A cytological study on Apluda mutica L. revealed that this species was a facultative apomict with 60.74% of apomictic embryo sac formation. Its sexual reproduction exhibited the characteristics of polygonum_type embryo sac formation. After the 3 megaspores at the micropylar end had degenerated, leaving only the chalazal megaspore in the nucellus, a nucellar cell adjacent to the megaspore differentiated into an aposporous initial, which later developed into a panicum_type embryo sac. It was an aposporous 4_nucleate embryo sac without chromosome reduction and composed of an egg, a single synergid and a central cell with 2 polar nuclei. The chalazal megaspore degenerated before the onset of the division in the aposporous initial cell.

Anti-reverse rotation startup method for sensorless brushless DC motor

In order to start up the brushless DC motor （BLDCM） without reverse rotation and smoothly switch the running state of the motor, a novel startup and smoothly switching method for a sensodess BLDCM is presented. Based on the saturation effect of the stator iron, six short voltage pulses are applied to determine the initial rotor position and the rotor can be found within 60°. After that, a series of short and long voltage pulses are used to accelerate the motor and the variation of the response current is utilized to detect the rotor position dynamically. When the motor reaches a certain speed at which the back-electromotive force （EMF） method can be applied, all the power devices are turned off and the running state of the motor is smoothly switched at the moment determined by the relationship between the terminal voltage waveform and the commutation phases. The experimental results verify the feasibility and validity of the proposed method.

《左传》之“无宁”考辨

《左传》中的"无宁"的解释分歧很多,注家们也往往语焉不详。文章通过对《左传》及相关注释的整理分析,归纳其用法特点,发现:"无宁"是一个语气副词,不可拆分,它不等于"宁",也不是一个"愿词";它主要用在疑问句中,表达一种委婉的推测语气,其中暗含确定和奉劝、提醒的意味;它后来表示确定无疑的语气,是经过历时发展的结果。

A generalization of co-*~n-modules

A module is called a co-＊∞-module if it is co-selfsmall and ∞-quasi-injective. The properties and characterizations are investigated. When a module U is a co-＊∞-module, the functor Hom RU（-,U）is exact in Copres∞（U）. A module U is a co-＊∞-module if and only if U is co-selfsmall and for any exact sequence 0→M→UI→N→0 with M∈Copres∞（U） and I is a set, N∈Copres∞（U） is equivalent to Ext1R（N,U）→Ext1R（UI,U） is a monomorphism if and only if U is co-selfsmall and for any exact sequence 0→L→M→N→0 with L, N∈Copres∞（U）, N∈Copres∞（U） is equivalent to the induced sequence 0→Δ（N）→Δ（M）→Δ（L）→0 which is exact if and only if U induces a duality ΔUS：⊥USCopres∞（U）：ΔRU. Moreover, U is a co-＊n-module if and only if U is a co-＊∞-module and Copres∞（U）=Copresn（U）.

Enhancement Dataset for Low Altitude Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Detection

In recent years,the number of incidents involved with unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)has increased conspicuously,resulting in an increasingly urgent demand for developing anti-UAV systems. The vast requirements of high detection accuracy with respect to low altitude UAVs are put forward. In addition,the methods of UAV detection based on deep learning are of great potential in low altitude UAV detection. However,such methods need high-quality datasets to cope with the problem of high false alarm rate(FAR)and high missing alarm rate(MAR)in low altitude UAV detection,special high-quality low altitude UAV detection dataset is still lacking. A handful of known datasets for UAV detection have been rejected by their proposers for authorization and are of poor quality. In this paper,a comprehensive enhanced dataset containing UAVs and jamming objects is proposed. A large number of high-definition UAV images are obtained through real world shooting, web crawler, and data enhancement.Moreover,to cope with the challenge of low altitude UAV detection in complex backgrounds and long distance,as well as the puzzle caused by jamming objects,the noise with jamming characteristics is added to the dataset. Finally,the dataset is trained,validated,and tested by four mainstream deep learning models. The results indicate that by using data enhancement,adding noise contained jamming objects and images of UAV with complex backgrounds and long distance,the accuracy of UAV detection can be significantly improved. This work will promote the development of anti-UAV systems deeply,and more convincing evaluation criteria are provided for models optimization for UAV detection.

肯定义“无时无刻”的合理性

现代汉语中,肯定句中的"无时无刻"与传统的"无时无刻不"义同而形异。不少学者认为前者是误用的结果。肯定义的"无时无刻"至迟于清代即已出现,且其在现代汉语中的使用频率呈逐渐增加的趋势,这均阐释了"无时无刻"表肯定是既定的事实。"无"一词的多义引起"无时无刻"多义,这为肯定义的"无时无刻"与"无时无刻不"同义而并行提供了语义基础,且《中国成语大辞典》中"无……无……"短语结构的分类为其合理性提供了佐证。

Inorganic Phosphorus Fractions and Phosphorus Availability in a Calcareous Soil Receiving 21-Year Superphosphate Application

A long-term （21-year） field experiment was performed to study the responses of soil inorganic P fractions and P availability to annual fertilizer P application in a calcareous soil on the Loess Plateau of China. Soil Olsen-P contents increased by 3.7, 5.2, 11.2 and 20.6 mg P kg-1 after 21-year annual fertilizer P application at 20, 39, 59, and 79 kg P ha-1, respectively. Long-term fertilizer P addition also increased soil total P and inorganic P （Pi） contents significantly. The contents of inorganic P fractions were in the order of Ca10-P 〉 Cas-P 〉 Fe-P 〉 A1-P 〉 occluded P 〉 Ca2-P in the soil receiving annual fertilizer P application. Fertilizer P application increased Cas-P, A1-P and Ca2-P contents as well as their percentages relative to Pi. Pi application increased Fe-P and occluded P contents but nor their percentages. Soil Ca10- P content remained unchanged after fertilizer P application while its percentage relative to Pi declined with increasing fertilizer P rate. All Pi fractions but Ca10-P were correlated with Olsen-P significantly. 90% of variations in Olsen-P could be explained by Pi fractions, and the direct contribution of Cas-P was predominant. Long-term annual superphosphate application would facilitate the accumulation of soil Cas-P, and thus improve soil P availability.

Localization of pallets in warehouses using passive RFID system

Warehouse operation has become a critical activity in supply chain. Position information of pallets is important in warehouse management which can enhance the efficiency of pallets picking and sortation. Radio frequency identification(RFID) has been widely used in warehouse for item identifying. Meanwhile, RFID technology also has great potential for pallets localization which is underutilized in warehouse management. RFID-based checking-in and inventory systems have been applied in warehouse management by many enterprises. Localization approach is studied, which is compatible with existing RFID checking-in and inventory systems. A novel RFID localization approach is proposed for pallets checking-in. Phase variation of nearby tags was utilized to estimate the position of added pallets. A novel inventory localization approach combing angle of arrival(AOA) measurement and received signal strength(RSS) is also proposed for pallets inventory. Experiments were carried out using standard UHF passive RFID system. Experimental results show an acceptable localization accuracy which can satisfy the requirement of warehouse management.

Sources of dissolved inorganic carbon in rivers from the Changbaishan area, an active volcanic zone in North Eastern China

Major elements and carbon isotopes of dissolved inorganic carbon(DIC)have been measured in the waters of Changbaishan mountain,a volcanic area in northeastern China,between June and September 2016 to decipher the origin of the CO_2 involved in chemical weathering reactions.Spatial variations of major elements ratios measured in water samples can be explained by a change of the chemical composition of the volcanic rocks between the volcanic cone(trachytes)and the basaltic shield as evidenced by the variations in the composition of these rocks.Hence,DIC results from the neutralization of CO_2 by silicate rocks.DIC concentrations vary from 0.3 to 2.5 mmol/L and carbon isotopic compositions of DIC measured in rivers vary from-14.2‰to 3.5‰.At a first order,the DIC transported by rivers is derived from the chemical weathering’s consumption of CO_2 with a magmatic origin,enriched in^(13)C(-5%)and biogenic soil CO_2 with lower isotopic compositions.The highest δ^(13)C values likely result from C isotopes fractionation during CO_2 degassing in rivers.A mass balance based on carbon isotopes suggest that the contribution of magmatic CO_2 varied from less than 20%to more than 70%.Uncertainties in this calculation associated with CO_2 degassing in rivers are difficult to quantify,and the consequence of CO_2 degassing would be an overestimation of the contribution of DIC derived from the neutralization of magmatic CO_2 by silicate rocks.

AN MAC PROTOCOL SUPPORTING MULTIPLE TRAFFIC OVER MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS

This letter presents the design and performance of a multi-channel MAC protocol that supports multiple traffics for IEEE 802.11 mobile ad-hoc networks. The dynamic channel selection scheme by receiver decision is implemented and the number of the data channel is independent of the network topology. The priority for real-time traffic is assured by the proposed adaptive back off algorithm and different IFS. The protocol is evaluated by simulation and the results have shown that it can support multiple traffics and the performance is better than the performance that IEEE 802.11 standard provides.

UAV trajectory planning algorithmfor data collection in wireless sensor networks

In order to maximize the value of information(VoI)of collected data in unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)-aided wireless sensor networks(WSNs),a UAV trajectory planning algorithm named maximum VoI first and successive convex approximation(MVF-SCA)is proposed.First,the Rician channel model is adopted in the system and sensor nodes(SNs)are divided into key nodes and common nodes.Secondly,the data collection problem is formulated as a mixed integer non-linear program(MINLP)problem.The problem is divided into two sub-problems according to the different types of SNs to seek a sub-optimal solution with a low complexity.Finally,the MVF-SCA algorithm for UAV trajectory planning is proposed,which can not only be used for daily data collection in the target area,but also collect time-sensitive abnormal data in time when the exception occurs.Simulation results show that,compared with the existing classic traveling salesman problem(TSP)algorithm and greedy path planning algorithm,the VoI collected by the proposed algorithm can be improved by about 15%to 30%.

Distributed Low-Complexity Channel Assignment for Opportunistic Routing

Opportunistic Routing (OR) involves multiple forwarding candidates to relay packets by taking advantage of the broadcast nature and multi-user diversity of a wireless medium. Compared with Traditional Routing (TR), OR is more suitable in the case of an unreliable wireless link and can evidently improve the end-to-end throughput of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs). In this paper, we focus on OR in Multi-Radio Multi-Channel WMNs (MRMC-WMNs). This problem has not been well examined and is considerably more challenging than the OR in single-radio wireless networks considered in the existing literature. First, we validate the advantage of OR in MRMC-WMNs. Second, we propose Low-complexity Channel Assignment for Opportunistic Routing (LcCAOR), which assigns channels to flows according to the interference state of every node. Third, we implement the LcCOAR in a fully distributed manner. The simulation result shows that compared with OR in Single-Radio Single-Channel WMNs (SRSC-WMNs), the proposed OR can significantly enhance the throughput to 87.11% and 100.3% in grid and tree WMNs, respectively.
