Based on a database of 21 354 records in 74 long-term monitoring plots from 2004 to 2013 in the Chinese Ecosystem Research Network(CERN), we built fitting functions to quantify the vertical distribution of soil C, N, and P(up to 100 cm depth) in the typical Chinese terrestrial ecosystems. The decrease of soil C, N, and P content with depth can be well fitted with various mathematical functions. The fitting functions differed greatly between artificial(agriculture) and natural(desert, forest, and grassland) ecosystems, and also differed with respect to soil C, N, and P content. In both the artificial and natural ecosystems, the best fitting functions were exponential functions for C, quadratic functions for N, and quadratic functions for P. Furthermore, the stoichiometric ratios of soil C, N, and P were ranked in descending order: grassland > forest > agriculture > desert, and were also associated with climate. This study is the first to build the fitting functions for the profile distribution of soil C, N, and P in China at a national scale. Our findings provide a scientific basis to accurately assess the storage of C, N, and P in soils at a large scale, especially for the integrative analysis of historical data.展开更多

The effects of pulse peak power into the fiber, pulse width and filter parameters on the performance of the regenerator are investigated. The effects of normal dispersion and anomalous dispersion of the microstructured fiber on optical regeneration are compared. The nu- merical results show that optical regeneration can be achieved by using microstructured fibers with normal dispersion or anomalous dispersion, but the normal dispersion decreases the oscillatory structure in the broadened spectra and obtain a better regenerator transfer function. In order to achieve optical regeneration, the input peak power into the microstructured fiber and the filter parameters need to meet certain requirements. By optimizing those parameters, a better regeneration result can be obtained.展开更多

A large number of wetland databases have been established in the world as well as in China. In this paper, we review China's wetland databases based on remote sensing(RS) technology after introducing the background theory to the application of RS technology in wetland surveys. A key conclusion is that China's wetland databases are far from sufficient in fulfilling protection and management needs. Our recommendations focus on the use of the hyper-spectral imagery, microwave data, multi-temporal images, and automatic classifications in order to improve the accuracy and efficiency of wetland inventory. Further, attention should also be paid to detect major biophysical features of wetlands and build wetland databases in years after the 1980 s in China. Considering that great gap exists between RS experts and wetland experts, further cooperation between wetland scientists and RS scientists are needed to promote the application of RS in the foundation of wetland databases.展开更多

A tunable split capacitor is designed to eliminate the mismatches caused by parasitic capacitors. The linearity error of capacitor array caused by process mismatch is calibrated by a novel calibration capacitor array that can improve the sampling rate. The dual-comparator topology ensures both the speed and precision of the ADC. The simulation results show that the SAR ADC after calibration achieves 83.07 dB SNDR and 13.5 bit ENOB at 500 kilosamples/s.展开更多

Based on force control, a robotic subsystem has been developed for path automatic generation or path learning. Using a dummy tool and roughly taught guiding points around a part contour, the robot moves in position and force controlled hybrid mode, following the order of the guiding points and with contact force direction and value predefined. During the motion, robot actual position is recorded by the robot controller. After the motion, the recorded position data is used to generate a robot path program automatically. Robot lead-through may be used in the guiding point teaching. Furthermore, a GUI (graphical user interface) is developed on the teach pedant to guide through the guiding point creation and teaching, path learning, program verification and execution. The development has been incorporated into a robotic machining product option. Combination of the robot path learning function and GUI enhances the interaction between the robot and operator and drastically increases the level of robotic ease-of-use.展开更多

Results showed that the microbial quantity in the air atthe workshop without depurator (54939 cfu·m^(-3)) was 2.1 times that of the workshop withdepu-rator (25768 cfu·m^(-3)). The depurator could purify air microorganisms at the workshop, witha purifying rate of 53.1%, but it did not reach the standards of clean air. Comparatively thedepurator is effective in reducing the quantity of air actinomyces, and some kinds of airactinomyces, such as Scabies, Cinereas and Hygroscopicas, can be clean out, but it is not veryeffective to bacteria and fungi. It is suggested that more effective and feasible methods should bedeveloped for purifying air microorganisms at the workshop in the future.展开更多

We study the effects of this non-universal gauge boson on the cross section and spin correlation of top quark pair production through the process gg → tt at the LHC. We find that the total cross section and the spin correlation can be reduced by-4.7% and -1.4% respectively in the allowed parameter space.展开更多

(Sapotaceae family), endemic to Morocco, is a multipurpose tree with an important ecological and socio-economical interest. Nevertheless, the sustainability of the agro-forestry system is now threatened by overgrazing and over-exploitation leading to an alarming decline in the number of trees. In the present study, inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers were used to evaluate the genetic variation and to assess the genetic diversity distribution within and among 17 argan populations growing naturally under semi-arid and arid climate. Thus, a total of seven primers generated 260 well-defined bands, with an average of 37.14 bands per primer. Studied populations showed a relatively high level of genetic diversity at species level and low level of genetic diversity at population level. The percentage of polymorphic bands, Nei's gene diversity and Shannon's information index at population and species level were 30.15%, 0.164, 0.217 and 98.8%, 0.172, 0.293, respectively. A relative low level of genetic differentiation (Gst = 0.39) was in agreement with the results obtained from the analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA). Estimated gene flow was Nm = 0.781 among populations. Mantel test revealed a non-significant correlation between genetic and geographic distance (r = 0.065, P 〈 0.05), suggesting that the geographic distribution is not the major factor that shaped the present population genetic structure. The results can help preserve A. spinosa L. tree as an endangered species, however, refining these finding using co-dominant markers is recommended in order to establish conservation strategies.展开更多

The critical point of capillary phase-transition was extrapolated by the critical power law and the law of rectilinear diameter from the capillary phase-transition data in the near critical region. The effects of temperature and fluid density on the parallel self-diffusion coefficients of ethylene molecules confined in the slit carbon pores were examined. The results showed that the parallel selfdiffusion coefficients in the capillary phase transition area strongly depended on the fluids local densities in the slit carbon pores.展开更多

After a discussion of the differential equations for wave propagation in the horizontally stratified medium and of the initial and boundary conditions, the displacements are derived on the free surface of the layered medium for plane waves when a point source is located on the s-th imaginary boundary at the depth -s (physical parameters of the layers s and (s + 1) are put to be identical). Then, the source will be represented as a single force of arbitrary orientation and a general moment tensor point source. Further, "a primary field" for a point source will be introduced. Matrix method for the solution of the direct seismic problem is considered based on the matrix method of Thomson-Haskell and its modifications.展开更多
