It was demonstrated that the membranes of the microcapsules were formed from nano sized coacervate droplets resulting from gelation and hydrolyzed SMA, which leads to a compact membrane structure. Microcapsules were characterized in terms of microstructure, morphologies by scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Electrophoretic display prototype was prepared by coating electrophoretic ink microcapsules slurry on ITO glass with nearly single layer and sealed by UV curable adhesives.

By using 5′ end random primers in combination with three one-base-anchored primers, it was found that 22.5% and 22.9% of 877 total displayed cDNAs were differentially expressed between hybrid A, B and their parents, respectively. Both quantitative and qualitative differences in gene expression between hybrids and their parental inbreds were obvious, indicating that the patterns of gene expression in hybrids alter significantly as compared to their corresponding parents. On the other hand, by using MADS-box gene specific 5′ end primer for DDRT-PCR, we found that nearly all of the displayed cDNA fragments were polymorphic between hybrids and their parents, and major difference occurred in qualitative level, in which hybrid specific-expressed and silenced genes are the major two patterns, suggesting that MADS-box gene may be important for manifestation of differential gene expression and wheat heterosis. In comparison with our previous results by using seedling leaves, it is indicated that differential gene expression between hybrids and parents is dependent on the tissues tested, and more differentially expressed genes were observed in the primary roots than in the seedling leaves. Therefore, it is concluded that the expressions of both randomly displayed cDNAs and transcription factor genes, such as MADS-box, alter significantly between hybrids and their parents, which might be responsible for the observed heterosis.展开更多

Using this fragment as a probe, a full length cDNA was isolated from a nice cDNA library, which was constructed using mRNA from the incompatible race-infected leaves. Sequence analysis indicates that the cDNA encodes a protein of 15 kD with 145 amino, acids and shares 96% identity at nucleotide level with MRL and salT, but is identical to MRL at amino acid level. Genomic Southern blotting shows that there are two mannose-binding lectin genes in rice genome. Northern blotting analysis indicates that the gene was strongly and specifically induced in rice leaves infected with the incompatible race, suggesting that the lectin induction be involved in the defense of rice to M. grisea.展开更多

The volume is sampled into slices by the rendering hardware and then slices are rasterated into a series of voxels. A composed buffer is used to record encoded voxels of the target volume to reduce the graphic memory requirement. In the algorithm, dynamic vertexes and index buffers are used to improve the voxelization efficiency. Experimental results show that the algorithm is efficient for a true 3-D display system.展开更多

文摘Quantum technologies rely on creating and manipulating entangled sources,which are essential for quantum information,communication,and imaging.By integrating quantum technologies and all-dielectric metasurfaces,the performance of miniature display devices can be enhanced to a higher level.Miniature display technology,such as virtual reality display,has achieved original commercial success,and was initially applied to immersive games and interactive scenes.While the consumer market has quickly adopted this technology,several areas remain for improvement,including concerns around bulkiness,dual-channel display,and noise reduction.Here,we experimentally realize a quantum meta-hologram concept demonstration of a miniature display.We fabricate an ultracompact meta-hologram based on 1μm thick titanium dioxide(TiO_(2)).The meta-hologram can be remotely switched with heralding technique and is robust against noise with the quantum entangled source.The platform can alter the miniature display channel by manipulating heralding photons’polarization,removing speckles and multiple reflective light noise,improving imaging contrast,and potentially decreasing device weight.Imaging contrast increases from 0.36 dB under speckle noise influences to 6.8 dB in quantum correlation imaging.This approach has the potential to miniaturize quantum displays and quantum communication devices.

文摘Holographic display stands as a prominent approach for achieving lifelike three-dimensional(3D)reproductions with continuous depth sensation.However,the generation of a computer-generated hologram(CGH)always relies on the repetitive computation of diffraction propagation from point-cloud or multiple depthsliced planar images,which inevitably leads to an increase in computational complexity,making real-time CGH generation impractical.Here,we report a new CGH generation algorithm capable of rapidly synthesizing a 3D hologram in only one-step backward propagation calculation in a novel split Lohmann lens-based diffraction model.By introducing an extra predesigned virtual digital phase modulation of multifocal split Lohmann lens in such a diffraction model,the generated CGH appears to reconstruct 3D scenes with accurate accommodation abilities across the display contents.Compared with the conventional layer-based method,the computation speed of the proposed method is independent of the quantized layer numbers,and therefore can achieve real-time computation speed with a very dense of depth sampling.Both simulation and experimental results validate the proposed method.
文摘This project adopts an advanced microcontroller as the core control unit,which accurately commands the servo drive,realizes the real-time light chasing and charging function of the solar panel,and effectively manages the power supply system of the street light.At the same time,the system is able to continuously monitor the operation status of the servo within the range of 0°to 180°to ensure that it is trouble-free and not offline.The hardware system construction consists of five modules:a power module,solar panel module,servo module,street light module,and Organic Light-Emitting Diode(OLED)display module.Each module works together to support the stable operation of the whole system.The system workflow is to accurately determine the direction of the light source by collecting real-time light intensity data through four precision photoresistors.Subsequently,the microcontroller intelligently controls the helm module based on these data to drive the solar panel to rotate within a range of 180°to accurately track the sun’s orientation.The street light provides two lighting modes,automatic and manual,to meet the needs of different scenarios.During the daytime,the solar panels work actively to monitor and collect solar energy efficiently in real-time,meanwhile,when night falls,the solar panels switch to standby mode and the streetlights light up automatically,illuminating the road ahead for pedestrians.Compared with the traditional solar street lights on the market,the intelligent solar light chasing road system introduced in this project has significant advantages.Its unique light-chasing algorithm enables the solar panel to continuously track the light source from sunrise to sunset,thus significantly improving the charging efficiency.Compared with traditional street lights,the biggest advantage of this project is the proposed light-chasing algorithm,which can always charge from sunrise until sunset,making the charging efficiency increase by 38%to 47%.The charging efficiency is 20%to 38%higher than that of traditional street lamps.Simultaneously,the biggest advantage of this project is that the power storage capacity is higher than 35%of the traditional solar street light.Bringing users a more durable and stable lighting experience.
文摘TiO2 particles coated with polystyrene which were prepared via in situ polymerization and oil green dye were dispersed in tetrachloroethylene and xylene, the mixture came to be electrophoretic ink and was encapsulated in to microcapsules by complex coacervation from gelatin and a hydrolyzed copolymer of styrene and maleic anhydride(SMA). It was demonstrated that the membranes of the microcapsules were formed from nano sized coacervate droplets resulting from gelation and hydrolyzed SMA, which leads to a compact membrane structure. Microcapsules were characterized in terms of microstructure, morphologies by scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Electrophoretic display prototype was prepared by coating electrophoretic ink microcapsules slurry on ITO glass with nearly single layer and sealed by UV curable adhesives. The characters “Zheda” in Chinese was firstly displayed at a low volt 9 V D.C..
文摘To provide an insight into the molecular basis of heterosis, differential display of mRNA was used to analyze the difference of gene expression between wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) heterotic hybrid A, nonheterotic hybrid B and their parental inbreds in the primary roots. By using 5′ end random primers in combination with three one-base-anchored primers, it was found that 22.5% and 22.9% of 877 total displayed cDNAs were differentially expressed between hybrid A, B and their parents, respectively. Both quantitative and qualitative differences in gene expression between hybrids and their parental inbreds were obvious, indicating that the patterns of gene expression in hybrids alter significantly as compared to their corresponding parents. On the other hand, by using MADS-box gene specific 5′ end primer for DDRT-PCR, we found that nearly all of the displayed cDNA fragments were polymorphic between hybrids and their parents, and major difference occurred in qualitative level, in which hybrid specific-expressed and silenced genes are the major two patterns, suggesting that MADS-box gene may be important for manifestation of differential gene expression and wheat heterosis. In comparison with our previous results by using seedling leaves, it is indicated that differential gene expression between hybrids and parents is dependent on the tissues tested, and more differentially expressed genes were observed in the primary roots than in the seedling leaves. Therefore, it is concluded that the expressions of both randomly displayed cDNAs and transcription factor genes, such as MADS-box, alter significantly between hybrids and their parents, which might be responsible for the observed heterosis.
文摘By mRNA differential display, eight induced cDNAs were obtained from rice leaves infected with an incompatible race 131 of Magnaporthe grisea, and one of these cDNAs was highly similar to salt-induced mannose-binding lectin gene. Using this fragment as a probe, a full length cDNA was isolated from a nice cDNA library, which was constructed using mRNA from the incompatible race-infected leaves. Sequence analysis indicates that the cDNA encodes a protein of 15 kD with 145 amino, acids and shares 96% identity at nucleotide level with MRL and salT, but is identical to MRL at amino acid level. Genomic Southern blotting shows that there are two mannose-binding lectin genes in rice genome. Northern blotting analysis indicates that the gene was strongly and specifically induced in rice leaves infected with the incompatible race, suggesting that the lectin induction be involved in the defense of rice to M. grisea.
文摘An efficient voxelization algorithm is presented for polygonal models by using the hardware support for the 2 D rasterization algorithm and the GPU programmable function to satisfy the volumetric display system. The volume is sampled into slices by the rendering hardware and then slices are rasterated into a series of voxels. A composed buffer is used to record encoded voxels of the target volume to reduce the graphic memory requirement. In the algorithm, dynamic vertexes and index buffers are used to improve the voxelization efficiency. Experimental results show that the algorithm is efficient for a true 3-D display system.
