异构船舶编队航行的研究现状与技术展望

随着航运业智能升级和降本增效的需求日益增大,如何在减员增效的目标下最大限度提升船队运力成为主要挑战。以异构船舶编队航行为特征的编组运输是重要的解决途径之一。随着科学技术的不断进步,基于单船的少人化、自主化得到了广泛关注,以多船编队为核心的应用开始崭露头角。现有船舶编队研究大多停留在以小型无人艇为对象的同构编队理论研究上,在实际货运场景下,船舶存在特征参数、动力特征、智能等级、控制方式等方面的显著差异,形成了异构船舶的主要特性,致使现有编队理论缺乏实际可行性。为了实现异构船舶编队航行,通过分析异构船舶编队的应用场景,提出以提升运输效率、改善营运成本、降低碳排放为核心的异构船舶编队策略,深入探讨异构特性问题,分析异构船舶编队控制的难点问题,阐明了异构船舶编队实现的必须条件。

Effect of large strain cross rolling on microstructure and properties of Al-Li alloy plates with high magnesium content

Transmission electron microscopy(TEM),electron backscattered diffraction imaging(EBSD)and X-ray diffractometry were used to analyze the microstructure and texture characteristics of Al-9.8Mg-1.5Li-0.4Mn alloy cross-rolled and extruded plates,and the tensile properties and deep drawing performance were measured.The results show that the occurrence of dynamic recrystallization was promoted,the grains were refined and the preferred orientation of the recrystallized grains was improved by large strain cross rolling.Compared with CBA and CCB rolling methods,CBB rolling method significantly reduced the orientation density of the typical Brass texture{110}?112?in the extruded plates.The orientation densities of Copper texture{112}?111?and Brass texture{110}?112?on theβorientation line in the CBB rolled plates were the lowest,and there were no typical texture features in the plates.Meanwhile,better deep drawing could be gained in the CBB rolled plates,and the mechanical properties of the 0°,45°and 90°directions were basically the same.The tensile strength,yield strength and elongation at room temperature for the CBB rolled plates were 617 MPa,523 MPa and over 20.1%,respectively.The deviation of the mechanical properties at different directions was less than 3%.

Expression and Identification of Inclusion Forming-related Domain of NS80 Nonstructural Protein of Grass Carp Reovirus

Grass carp reovirus （GCRV）, a double stranded RNA virus that infects aquatic animals, often with disastrous effects, belongs to the genus Aquareovirus and family Reoviridea. Similar to other reoviruses, genome replication of GCRV in infected cells occurs in cytoplasmic inclusion bodies, also called viral factories. Sequences analysis revealed the nonstmctural protein NS80, encoded by GCRV segment 4, has a high similarity with μNS in MRV（Mammalian orthoreovimses）, which may be associated with viral factory formation. To understand the function of the μNS80 protein in virus replication, the initial expression and identification of the immunogenicity of the GCRV NS80 protein inclusion forming-related region （335-742） was investigated in this study. It is shown that the over-expressed fusion protein was produced by inducing with IPTG at 28℃. In addition, serum specific rabbit antibody was obtained by using super purified recombinant NS80（335-742） protein as antigen. Moreover, the expressed protein was able to bind to anti-his-tag monoclonal antibody （mouse） and NS80〈335.742） specific rabbit antibody. Further western blot analysis indicates that the antiserum could detect NS80 or NS80C protein expression in GCRV infected cells. This data provides a foundation for further investigation of the role of NS80 in viral inclusion formation and virion assembly.

To investigate the tissue-specificities of isozymes and the genetic structureof wild spotted halibut ( Verasper variegatus) population, horizontal starch gel electrophoresiswas performed on 45 individuals collected in part of the Yellow Sea. The performances of 17 isozymesin 8 kinds of tissues or organs were screened preliminarily in a TC-7.0 buffer system. The resultsshowed that the screened isozymes displayed remarkable tissue-specificities. Finally, 14 enzymes(AAT, ADH, EST, OPI, G3PDH, IDHP, LAP, LDH, MDH, MPI, PGDH, PGM, SDH and SOD) and 4 kinds of tissues(eye, skeleton muscle, liver and heart) were selected for genetic analysis. Fourteen isozymes areencoded by 20 loci, and 9 of them are polymorphic. The polymorphic loci are AAT-1~*, GPI-2~*,G3PDH~*, IDHP-1~*, LDH~*, MPI~*, PGM-1~*. PGM-2~* and SDH~*, and the proportion of polymorphic lociis 0.4500 (P_(0.99)) ? The mean values of observed and expected heterozygosities are 0.0278and 0.0265, respectively and the average effective number of alleles is 1.0675.

GPCR A2AAR Agonist Binding and Induced Conformation Changes of Functional Switches

Agonist binding of A2A adenosine receptor （A2AAR） shows protective effects against inflammatory and immune. Efforts are exerted in understanding the general mechanism and developing A2AAR selectively binding agonists. Using molecular dynamics （MD） simula- tions, we have studied the interactions between A2AAR and its agonist （adenosine）, and analyzed the induced dynamic behaviors of the receptor. Key residues interacting with adenosine are identified： A63^2.61,I66^2.64,V84^3.32,L85^3.33,T88^3.36,F168^5.29,M177^5.38,L249^6.51,H250^6.52 and N253^6.55 interacting with adenosine with affinities larger than 0.5 kcal/mol. Moreover, no interaction between adenosine and L167^5.28 is observed, which supports our previous findings that L1675^5.28 is an antagonist specific binding reside. The dynamic be- haviors of agonist bound A2AAR are found to be different from apo-A2AAR in three typical functional switches： （i） tight ＂ionic lock＂ forms in adenosine-A2AAR, but it is in equilibrium between formation and breakage in apo-A2AAR; （ii） the ＂rotamer toggle switch＂, T88^3.36/F242^6.44/W246^6.48, adopted different rotameric conformations in adenosin-A2AAR and apo-A2AAR; （iii） adenosine-A2AAR has a flexible intracellular loop 2 （IC2） and s-helical IC3, while apo-A2AAR preferred s-helical IC2 and flexible IC3. Our results indicate that agonist binding induced different conformational rearrangements of these characteristic functional switches in adenosine-A2AAR and apo-A2AAR.

Structural insights into a dual-specificity histone demethylase ceKDM7A from Caenorhabditis elegans

Histone lysine methylation can be removed by JmjC domain-containing proteins in a sequence- and methylationstate-specific manner. However, how substrate specificity is determined and how the enzymes are regulated were largely unknown. We recently found that ceKDM7A, a PHD- and JmjC domain-containing protein, is a histone demethylase specific for H3K9me2 and H3K27me2, and the PHD finger binding to H3K4me3 guides the demethylation activity in vivo. To provide structural insight into the molecular mechanisms for the enzymatic activity and the function of the PHD finger, we solved six crystal structures of the enzyme in apo form and in complex with single or two peptides containing various combinations of H3K4me3, H3K9me2, and H3K27me2 modifications. The structures indicate that H3Kgme2 and H3K27me2 interact with ceKDMTA in a similar fashion, and that the peptide-binding specificity is determined by a network of specific interactions. The geometrical measurement of the structures also revealed that H3K4me3 associated with the PHD finger and H3K9me2 bound to the JmjC domain are from two separate molecules, suggesting a trans-histone peptide-binding mechanism. Thus, our systemic structural studies reveal not only the substrate recognition by the catalytic domain but also more importantly, the molecular mechanism of dual specifieity of ceDKM7A for both H3K9me2 and H3K27me2.

Experimental investigation on combustion and unregulated emission characteristics of butanol-isomer/gasoline blends

Effects of butanol isomers on characteristics of combustion and emission were studied on PFI SI engine. Experiments were operated under the condition of 3 and 5 bar brake mean effective pressure (BMEP) engine loads and different equivalence ratios (φ=0.83-1.25) with engine speed of 1200 r/min using blends made of 70 vol.% gasoline and 30 vol.% butanol isomers (N30, S30, I30 and T30). The results indicated that compared with gasoline, all butanol isomer blends have higher cylinder pressure. N30 has the highest and most advanced peak pressure, and T30 shows a higher brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and lower brake thermal efficiency (BTE). N30 presents a lower UHC emissions and I30 has slightly higher CO emissions than other blends. For unregulated emissions, compared with gasoline, butanol isomer blends have higher acetaldehyde, and N30 produces a higher emission of 1,3-butadiene than other blends. A reduction in benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) has been found with butanol isomer blends.

Alertness Staging Based on Improved Self-Organizing Map

In order to classify the alertness status, 19 channels of electroencephalogram(EEG) signals from 5 subjects were acquired during daytime nap. Ten different types of features(including time domain features, frequency domain features and nonlinear features) were extracted from EEG signals, and an improved self-organizing map(ISOM) neuron network was proposed, which successfully identify three different brain status of the subjects: awareness, drowsiness and sleep. Compared with traditional SOM, the experiment results show that the ISOM generates much better classification accuracy, reaching as high as 89.59%.

Allometric equations of select tree species of the Tibetan Plateau, China

The Tibetan forest is one of the most important national forest zones in China. Despite the potentially important role that Tibetan forest will play in the Earth?s future carbon balance and climate regulation, few allometric equations exist for accurately estimating biomass and carbon budgets of this forest. In the present study, allometric equations,both species-specific and generic, were developed relating component biomass(DW) to diameter at breast height(DBH) and tree height(H) for six most common tree species in Tibetan forest. The 6 species were Abies georgei Orr., Picea spinulosa(Griff.)Henry, Pinus densata Mast., Pinus yunnanensis Franch., Cypresses funebris Endl. and Quercus semecarpifilia Smith.. The results showed that, both DBH-only and DBH2 H based species-specific equations showed a significant fit(P<0.05) for all tree species and biomass components. The DBH-only equations explained more than 80% variability of the component biomass and total biomass, adding H as a second independent variable increased the goodness of fit, while incorporating H into the term DBH2 H decreased the goodness of fit. However, not all DBH-H combined equations showed a significant fit(P<0.05) for all tree species and biomass components. Hence, the suggested species-specific allometric equations for the six most common tree species are of the form ln(DW) = c + αln(DBH). The generalized equations of mixed coniferous component biomass against DBH, DBH2 H and DBH-H also showed a significant fit(P<0.05) for all biomass components. However, due to significant species effect, the relative errors of the estimates were very high. Hence, generalized equations should only be used when there are too many different tree species, or there is no species-specific model of the same species or similar growth form in adjacent area.

Optical and Structural Properties of Carbon Nanotube-Rutile Heterostructures

The paper presents a study of the growth and characterization of carbon nanotube-rutile nanocomposites. The heterostructures were obtained with a chemical mixing method. Scanning electron microscope images show that the samples appear as a homogeneous powder of rutile with carbon nanotubes intercalated in interspaces between the TiO2 grains. Characterization by both X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and cathodo-luminescence analysis show the formation of CO-Ti chemical bonds with a decrease of 0.8 eV in the band gap compared to pure rutile. The consequence of this band gap modification is a strong change in optical properties. Luminescence emission is drastically reduced and absorption in the visible range is increased of about 6% at very low concentration （1%） of carbon nanotubes.

Philosophy, Feminist Literary Criticism and ＂The Difference＂

This paper discusses the present-day philosophical rupture away from identitarian thinking, and how the former has influenced the world of the feminist literary criticism of today. Herein, we embark on a journey from its awakenings back in the 1960s. We begin our quest with Kate Millett, we will continue our discussion with Irigaray, Cixous, or Kristeva and their analysis of the difference created by gender. And, we will reflect on the influence it has made to the American movement. We use the aforementioned as the lead towards the theory of deconstruction in authors such as Felman or Spivak, and how we reach the concept of performativity of gender in line with Butler and the queer theory.

THE CULTURE-SPECIFIC SCHEMATA AND ESL READING METHODOLOGY

The relationship of culture-specific background knowledge and EFL/ESL reading methodology is to be explored. We illustrate this discussion of the culturally based and culturally biased nature of background knowledge with sample reading passages which have actually caused comprehension problems for EFL/ESL students. A reader's failure to activate an appropriate schema (formal or content) during reading is due to the fact that the schema, content schema in particular, culturally specific, which hinders him greatly from perfecting the reading comprehension. Some suggestions are brought forth for both ESL students and teachers to deal with the problem.

Regional differences in crustal structure of the North China Craton from receiver functions

Moho depth and crustal average Poisson＇s ratio for 823 stations are obtained by H-n： stacking of receiver functions. These, to- gether with topography and receiver function amplitude information, were used to study the crustal structure beneath the North China Craton （NCC）. The results suggest that modified and preserved crust coexist beneath the craton with generally Airy-type isostatic equilibrium. The equilibrium is relatively low in the eastern NCC and some local areas in the central and western NCC, which correlates well with regional geology and tectonic features. Major differences in the crust were observed beneath the eastern, central, and western NCC, with average Moho depths of 33, 37, and 42 km and average Poisson＇s ratios of 0.268, 0.267 and 0.264, respectively. Abnormal Moho depths and Poisson＇s ratios are mainly present in the rift zones, the northern and southern edges of the central NCC, and tectonic boundaries. The crust beneath Ordos retains the characteristics of typical craton. Poisson＇s ratio increases roughly linearly as Moho depth decreases in all three parts of the NCC with different slopes. Receiver function amplitudes are relatively large in the northern edge of the eastern and central NCC, and small in and near the rifts. The Yanshan Mountains and southern part of the Shanxi rift show small-scale variations in the receiver-function ampli- tudes. These observations suggest that overall modification and thinning in the crust occurred in the eastern NCC, and local crustal modification occurred in the central and westem NCC. Different crustal structures in the eastern, central, and western NCC suggest different modification processes and mechanisms. The overall destruction of the crustal structure in the eastern NCC is probably due to the westward subduction of the Pacific Plate during the Meso-Cenozoic time; the local modifications of the crust in the central and western NCC may be due to repeated reactivations at zones with a heterogeneous structure by successive thermal-tectonic events during the long-term evolution of the NCC.

AtGGM2014, an Arabidopsis gene co-expression network for functional studies

Gene co-expression networks provide an important tool for systems biology studies. Using microarray data from the Array Express database, we constructed an Arabidopsis gene co-expression network, termed At GGM2014, based on the graphical Gaussian model, which contains 102,644 co-expression gene pairs among 18,068 genes. The network was grouped into 622 gene co-expression modules. These modules function in diverse house-keeping, cell cycle, development, hormone response, metabolism, and stress response pathways. We developed a tool to facilitate easy visualization of the expression patterns of these modules either in a tissue context or their regulation under different treatment conditions. The results indicate that at least six modules with tissue-specific expression pattern failed to record modular regulation under various stress conditions. This discrepancy could be best explained by the fact that experiments to study plant stress responses focused mainly on leaves and less on roots, and thus failed to recover specific regulation pattern in other tissues. Overall, the modular structures revealed by our network provide extensive information to generate testable hypotheses about diverse plant signaling pathways. At GGM2014 offers a constructive tool for plant systems biology studies.
