Study on the Price Design and Contract Stability of "Company + Farmer" Model with Time Preference under Double Moral Hazards

The double moral hazard of ＂company ＋ farmer＂ and the time preference cost of company and farmer was analyzed. According to static game model, it re-vealed that the reason for low compliance rate of ＂company ＋ farmer＂ model was the existence of market risk, namely, the fluctuation of market price, and the stable market price in contracts was actualy a kind of interval, instead of a specific value. Furthermore, the effect of default penalty, market transaction cost and time prefer-ence cost on the stability of contract was studied. The results showed that default penalty, market transaction cost and time preference cost had positive influence on the price interval range of a contract.

On simulation of precise orbit determination of HY-2 with centimeter precision based on satellite-borne GPS technique

The HY-2 satellite carrying a satellite-borne GPS receiver is the first Chinese radar altimeter satellite, whose radial orbit determination precision must reach the centimeter level. Now HY-2 is in the test phase so that the observations are not openly released. In order to study the precise orbit determination precision and procedure for HY-2 based on the satellite- borne GPS technique, the satellite-borne GPS data are simulated in this paper. The HY-2 satellite-borne GPS antenna can receive at least seven GPS satellites each epoch, which can validate the GPS receiver and antenna design. What＇s more, the precise orbit determination processing flow is given and precise orbit determination experiments are conducted using the HY-2-borne GPS data with both the reduced-dynamic method and the kinematic geometry method. With the 1 and 3 mm phase data random errors, the radial orbit determination precision can achieve the centimeter level using these two methods and the kinematic orbit accuracy is slightly lower than that of the reduced-dynamic orbit. The earth gravity field model is an important factor which seriously affects the precise orbit determination of altimeter satellites. The reduced-dynamic orbit determination experiments are made with different earth gravity field models, such as EIGEN2, EGM96, TEG4, and GEMT3. Using a large number of high precision satellite-bome GPS data, the HY-2 precise orbit determination can reach the centimeter level with commonly used earth gravity field models up to above 50 degrees and orders.

Single-trial evoked brain responses modeled by multichannel matching pursuit

A multichannel matching pursuit（MMP）algorithm is proposed to decompose the one-dimensional multichannel non-stationary magnetoencephalography（MEG）signal at a single-trial level.The single-channel matching pursuit（MP）linearly decomposes the signal into a set of Gabor atoms,which are adaptively chosen from an overcomplete dictionary with good time-frequency characters.The MMP is the extension of the MP,which represents multichannel signals using linear combination of Gabor atoms with the same occurrence,frequency,phase,and time width,but varying amplitude in all channels.The results demonstrate that the MMP can optimally reconstruct the original signal and automatically remove artifact noises.Moreover,the coherence between the 3D source reconstruction and the prior knowledge of psychology further suggests that the MMP is effective in MEG single-trial processing.

Persistent toxic substances in urban highway runoff in Shanghai

Urban highway runoff samples from seventeen rainfall events were collected in Shanghai in 2011. The concentrations of ten heavy metals and sixteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PAHs are analyzed. The results show that the heavy metal concentrations range within 0.50 to 51.80 As 0 to 20.80 Se 13.67 to 445.80 Zn 0 to 44.20 Pb 0 to 15.80 Ni 39.58 to 264.20 Fe 0 to 253.00 Mn 0 to 8.20 Cr 0 to 124.20 Cu and 159.83 to 536.40 μg/L Al . Se Pb Mn and Al concentrations in most samples exceed their corresponding criterion continuous concentrations CCCs while Zn and Cu concentrations exceed their criterion maximum concentrations CMCs .The concentrations ofΣPAHs range within 37.25 to 114.57 ng/L and concentrations of PAHs are all below their corresponding CCCs.Cu Zn and ΣPAHs show the first flush phenomenon. Analysis results of the modified Nemerow index method NIM indicate that runoff from eight rainfall events may have very strong biological toxicity effects four have strong effects three have moderate effects and only two have insignificant effects.Therefore it is concluded that urban highway runoff is a significant pollution source to aquatic ecosystems and needs immediate purification.

Foregut duplication cysts of the stomach with respiratory epithelium

Gastrointestinal duplication is a congenital rare disease entity. Gastric duplication cysts seem to appear even more rarely. Herein, two duplications cysts of the stomach in a 46 year-old female patient are presented. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated a cystic lesion attached to the posterior aspect of the gastric fundus, while upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was negative. An exploratory laparotomy revealed a non-communicating cyst and a smaller similar cyst embedded in the gastrosplenic ligament. Excision of both cysts along with the spleen was performed and pathology reported two smooth muscle coated cysts with a pseudostratified ciliated epithelial lining (respiratory type).

Earth Gravity Field Recovered from CHAMP Science Orbit and Accelerometer Data

The earth gravity field model CDS01S of degree and order 36 has been recovered from the post processed Science Orbits and on-board accelerometer data of GFZ’s CHAMP satellite. The model resolves the geoid with an accuracy of better than 4 cm at a resolution of 700 km half-wavelength. By using the degree difference variances of geopotential coefficients to compare the model CDS01S with EIGEN3P, EIGEN1S and EGM96, the result indicates that the coefficients of CDS01S are most close to those of EIGEN3P. The result of the comparison between the accuracies of geopotential coefficients in the above models, indicates that the accuracy of coefficients in CDS01S is higher than that in EGM96.The geoid undulations of CDS01S and GGM01C up to 30 degrees are calculated and the standard deviation is 4.7 cm between them.

Analysis of Culture and Drug Sensitivity Tests of Mycoplasmas for 387 Patients with Nongonococcal Urethritis (Cervicitis) in Chongqing

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of myco-plasma infections and the sensitivity to antibiotics among patients with nongonococcal urethritis or cer-vicitis (NGU) in Chongqing. Methods: 387 NGU cases with mycoplasma-positive results upon culture were analysed retrospectively. RESULTS: The majority of patients with mycoplasma infections were in the 20-40 year old age group. No significant difference was found between males and females. Ureaplasma urealyticum is the main pathogen of these NGU cases and no clear relationship between its concentration and pathogenic ability was noted. Drug sensitivity was tested against nine antibiotics; the sensitivity rates to josamycim, minocycline and doxycycline were 94.06%, 88.89% and 86.82% respectively, while the resistance rates to lincomycin, ofloxacin, azithromycin and roxthromycin were 74.94%, 42.12%, 41.60% and 40.31% in turn. Conclusions: Josamycin, minocycline and doxycycline could be used as the first choice to treat NGU with mycoplasma infections in Chongqing. It is important to select antibiotics for NGU treatment with mycoplasma infections based on the results of drug sensitivity tests.

Reducing Influence of Gravity Model Error in Precise Orbit Determination of Low Earth Orbit Satellites

Based on the orbit integration and orbit fitting method, the influence of the characters of the gravity model, with different precisions, on the movement of low Earth orbit satellites was studied. The way and the effect of absorbing the influence of gravity model error on CHAMP and GRACE satellite orbits, using linear and periodical empirical acceleration models and the so-called "pseudo-stochastic pulses" model, were also analyzed.

Charge transfer and orbital reconstruction of non‐noble transition metal single‐atoms anchored on Ti_(2)CT_(x)‐MXenes for highly selective CO_(2) electrochemical reduction

Inspired by MXene nanosheets and their regulation of surface functional groups,a series of Ti_(2)C‐based single‐atom electrocatalysts(TM@Ti_(2)CT_(x),TM=V,Cr,Mn,Fe,Co,and Ni)with two dif‐ferent functional groups(T=–O and–S)was designed.The CO_(2)RR catalytic performance was stud‐ied using well‐defined ab initio calculations.Our results show that the CO_(2) molecule can be more readily activated on TM@Ti_(2)CO_(2) than the TM@Ti_(2)CS_(2) surface.Bader charge analysis reveals that the Ti_(2)CO_(2) substrate is involved in the adsorption reaction,and enough electrons are injected into the 2π*u orbital of CO_(2),leading to a V‐shaped CO_(2) molecular configuration and partial negative charge distribution.The V‐shaped CO_(2) further reduces the difficulty of the first hydrogenation reac‐tion step.The calculatedΔG of the first hydrogenation reaction on TM@Ti_(2)CO_(2) was significantly lower than that of the TM@Ti_(2)CS_(2) counterpart.However,the subsequent CO_(2) reduction pathways show that the UL of the potential determining step on TM@Ti_(2)CS_(2) is smaller than that of TM@Ti_(2)CO_(2).Combining the advantages of both TM@Ti_(2)CS_(2) and TM@Ti_(2)CO_(2),we designed a mixed functional group surface with–O and–S to anchor TM atoms.The results show that Cr atoms an‐chored on the surface of mixed functional groups exhibit high catalytic activity for the selective production of CH4.This study opens an exciting new avenue for the rational design of highly selec‐tive MXene‐based single‐atom CO_(2)RR electrocatalysts.

Weight Based Channel Selection Towards 5G in the Unlicensed Spectrum

The growth of the wireless and mobile communication data traffic has brought severe challenges to the present telecommu- nication systems. To meet the ever-increasing mobile traffic demand in the next 5th generation （SG） communication systems, deploying 5G in the unlicensed spectrum （SG-U）, has been regarded as a promising technology. The Third Generation Partnership Project （3GPP） has specified the standardization of the Li- censed Assisted Access （LAA） and its extension enhanced LAA （eLAA）, to opportunistically transmit in the unlicensed spectrum. The LAA/eLAA systems share unlicensed spectrum resource with other networks, e.g., the Wi-Fi systems. In this article, we analyze the coexistence between the eLAA and the Wi-Fi systems in the unlicensed spectrum. We firstly establish the system model where the eLAA coexists with the Wi-Fi systems. Then, we theoretically derive and figure out the unfairness in the multi-channel occupancy rate between the eLAA and the Wi-Fi systems. After that, we propose a weight based channel selection method to improve the fairness of the coexistence. The numerical results demonstrate that by avoiding contentions and declining collisions, our method not only enhances the fairness, but also improves the overall unlicensed spectrum usage rate.

Colon interposition for esophageal reconstruction: A report of 46 cases

Objective：To evaluate the role of colonic interposition for reconstruction of the esophagus. Meth-ods: From April 1979 to October 1998, Thirty-one patients with benign esophageal stenosis and 15 patients with esophagus carcinoma received the colonic interposition for esophageal reconstruction. There were 5 pa-tients with the esophagus carcinoma after subtotal gastrectomy. Four of 5 cases received colonic interposition graft from the esophageal bed after the esophagus was pulled out without thoracotomy. Results: There was no perioperative death. All 31 cases of the benign esophageal stenosis got long term survival and normal life. The 3- and 5-year survival rates of patients with the carcinoma of the esophagus were 63. 6% and 40. 6% re-spectively. Conclusion: The colonic interposition graft is a choice for the patients with the cervical stenosis of the esophagus, especially for those already had subtotal gastrectomy. Using the left colonic artery as the sup-porting vessel and using the colon segment in an isoperistaltic position is the optimal choice. Improving the operative techniques and decreasing the complications are important for the extension use of this method.

ESTIMATION OF BASIS EXPANSION MODELS FOR DOUBLY SELECTIVE CHANNELS

By analyzing the relationship between Basis Expansion Model (BEM) and Doppler spectrum, this letter proposed a quasi-MMSE-based BEM estimation scheme for doubly selective channels. Based on the assumption that the basis coefficients are approximately independent and have the same variance for the same channel tap, the quasi-MMSE estimation shows approximately optimal performance and is robust to noise. Moreover, it can avoid a high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) by using continuous pilots. Performance of the proposed estimation scheme has been shown with computer simulations.

Gradient based restoration of coal mine images obtained by underground wireless transmissions

Curvature-driven diffusion (CDD) principles were used to develop a novel gradient based image restora- tion algorithm. The algorithm fills in blocks of missing data in a wireless image after transmission through the network. When images are transmitted over fading channels, especially in the severe circum- stances of a coal mine, blocks of the image may be destroyed by the effects of noise. Instead of using com- mon retransmission query protocols the lost data is reconstructed by using the adaptive curvature-driven diffusion (ACDD) image restoration algorithm in the gradient domain of the destroyed image. Missing blocks are restored by the method in two steps: In step one, the missing blocks are filled in the gradient domain by the ACDD algorithm; in step two, and the image is reconstructed from the reformed gradients by solving a Poisson equation. The proposed method eliminates the staircase effect and accelerates the convergence rate. This is demonstrated by experimental results.

Three new species of Parandrexis(Coleoptera:Parandrexidae) from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of Inner Mongolia,China

Three well-preserved fossil species ofParandrexis longicornis Lu, Shih ＆ Ren sp. nov., P. agilis Lu, Shih ＆ Ren sp. nov. and P. oblongis Lu, Shih ＆ Ren sp. nov. are described and illustrated from the late Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of Daohugou in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. These new species are distinguished from other described species of Parandrexis by body size, head dimension （ratio of length to width）, pronotum shape, and antennal characters. Based on new morphological data, we emend the generic diagnosis. These findings support the sexual size dimorphism of parandrexids and suggest a gymnosperm sap feeding habit by Parandrexis.

Proto-oncogenes expression in the process of asthma airway remodeling

Objective: To observe the expression of proto-oncogenes in the process of airway remodeling in asthma. Methods: Guinea pig was used as an asthma model challenged by ovoglobulin. Dot-blot, Northern-blot molecular hybridization and immunohistochemistry techniques were used to detect the expression of c-fos, c-myc, c-jun and c-sis. Results: Expression of c-fos and c-myc mRNA could not be detected or detected at very low level in the control group. There were greatly increased expression of c-fos and c-myc mRNA after guinea pigs were challenged by ovoglobulin. Thirty minutes after the challenge, the expression of c-fos and c-myc mRNA reached to the peak and returned to normal level 4 h after the challenge. Immunohistochemistry studies showed that Fos, Myc, Jun and Sis expressed at low level in control group and increased after ovoglobulin stimulation. Immunohistochemically positive cells laid in the plasma of airway epithelium, in cell nucleus of bronchial epithelium and in the inflammatory cells. Pathologic studies showed there were smooth muscle thicken around bronchia and lymphocytes infiltration under mucosa or around bronchia smooth muscle. Conclusion: Proto-oncogenes expressed in airway of asthma in a guinea pig model, proto-oncogenes may have roles in the process of airway remodeling.

Crystals of suspended marine barite in the eastern equatorial Pacific:processes of dissolution and effects on crystal morphology

Suspended particulate substances were sampled in the eastem equatorial Pacific in water column from surface to near bottom in five stations in 2005, from which 868 barite crystals were recovered. The barite crystals were examined under scanning electron microscopy. About 61% of the total barites crystals contained detectable Sr by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry. Barite crystals could be classified into four groups based on their morphology： 1） bladed; 2） ovoid or rounded; 3） arrow-like; and 4） irregularly shaped. The arrow-like barite crystals in natural environment has never been reported before. In addition, about a half of the studied crystals showed features of dissolution as cavities or holes inside of the crystals or around their edges. We found that differential dissolution of barite crystals is consequence of heterogeneous Sr distribution in barite crystals. Our results would help in understanding the biogeochemical processes of marine barite formation and preservation in seawater and marine sediments.
