The results are as follows: (1) There are two low temperature and high salinity regions in the nearshore area between Dongshan and Shantou and in the southeastern Taiwan Shoal, respectively, which may be caused by upwellings. (2) There exists a cold eddy in the northwestern sea area and a warm eddy with two high temperature cores in the eastern sea area of the Dongsha Islands, which are related to the anti-cyclonic turning of the seawater near the Dongsha Islands. (3) A westward high temperature and high salinity water tongue extends through the northern Luzon Strait and reaches the sea areas near the Dengsha Islands and southern Taiwan Strait.展开更多

It is shown from the results that 71 species of planktonic Amphipoda (Hyperi idea)have been recorded, and the horizontal distribution of species number presents higher in the south and east,lower inthe south and west but the highest is in the southeast part of the study area.The higher abundance zone occurred in thenorthern margin of the study area and in the southeastern waters off the Changjiang Estuary respectively with evident dif ference in the two zones in composition of species number and ecological nature.The unique species Parathemistogandichaudi or Hyperiodes sibaginis was the dominant species distributed in the north and in the south of the ChangjiangEstuary respectively. The distribution of planktonic Amphipoda was controlled by the movement of many distinct watersystems within the study area and their reciprocal displacement.The distribution of Amphipoda (Hyperiidea) of differentecological characters showed evidence of the dynamics of the various water systems.展开更多

In China temperature effect appears mainly in the inner continent of midhigh latitudes and the amount effect appears in southeastern coastal regions, the YunnanGuizhou Plateau and QinghaiTibet Plateau where the influence of monsoon climate is obvious. The meteoric water lines (MWLs) of different regions are of certain divergence, which is closely related to the stable isotopic fractionations of the two processes, namely the evaporation of origins and the precipitating of vapor.展开更多

The distributional features and variation laws of dissolved oxygen, salinity, pH value and nutrient salts in the sea water are expounded. Also discussed are their relationships between each other. The results show that the contents of dissolved oxygen and pH value in the sea water increase with the increasing temperature from north (except for No.15~17 stations) to south (expect for No.6 station). At the same time it is affirmed that photosynthesis is the major cause of the high contents of dissolved oxygen and pH value. And the nutrient salt shows a negative correlation with salinity. The total content of phytoplankton obviously increased with the reduction of nutrient salts from north to south.展开更多

This paper proposes a procedure for monitoring changes in the error distribution of autoregressive time series, which is based on a weighed empirical process of residuals with weights equal to the regressors. The asymptotic properties of our monitoring statistic are derived under the null hypothesis of no change in distribution. The finite sample properties are investigated by a simulation. As it turns out, the procedure is not only able to detect distributional changes but also changes in the regression coefficient and mean, Finally, we apply the statistic to a groups of financial data.展开更多

Thus we might say that the distributional dimension is an analytical definition for Hausdorff dimension. Therefore we can study Hausdorff dimension through the distributional dimension analytically. By discussing the distributional dimension, this paper intends to set up a criterion for estimating the upper and lower bounds of Hausdorff dimension analytically. Examples illustrating the criterion are included in the end.展开更多

文摘Let （X, f ） be a topological dynamical system, where X is a nonempty compact and metrizable space with the metric d and f ：X →X is a continuous map. For any integer n≥2, denote the product space by X（n）=X · · · × X｜ {z }n times . We say a system （X, f ） is generally distributionally n-chaotic if there exists a residual set D ？X（n） such that for any point x=（x1, · · · , xn）∈D, lim inf k→∞#（{i：0≤i≤k-1, min{d（fi（xj）, fi（xl））：1≤j 6=l≤n}〈δ0}） k=0 for some real numberδ0〉0 and lim sup k→∞#（{i：0≤i≤k-1, max{d（fi（xj）, fi（xl））：1≤j 6=l≤n}〈δ}） k=1 for any real number δ 〉 0, where #（·） means the cardinality of a set. In this paper, we show that for each integer n ≥ 2, there exists a system （X,σ） which satisfies the following conditions： （1） （X,σ） is transitive;（2） （X,σ） is generally distributionally n-chaotic, but has no distributionally （n＋1）-tuples;（3） the topological entropy of （X,σ） is zero and it has an IT-tuple.
文摘According to calculation on available data, higher δ18O exists in atmospheric precipitation of southeastern and northwestern part of China, and the lower in Northeast China and the southern QinghaiTibet Plateau. In China temperature effect appears mainly in the inner continent of midhigh latitudes and the amount effect appears in southeastern coastal regions, the YunnanGuizhou Plateau and QinghaiTibet Plateau where the influence of monsoon climate is obvious. The meteoric water lines (MWLs) of different regions are of certain divergence, which is closely related to the stable isotopic fractionations of the two processes, namely the evaporation of origins and the precipitating of vapor.
文摘In this paper, the environmental factors are surveyed of the mariculture waters of the Honghai Bay from the late spring to the early summer (June) in 1998. The distributional features and variation laws of dissolved oxygen, salinity, pH value and nutrient salts in the sea water are expounded. Also discussed are their relationships between each other. The results show that the contents of dissolved oxygen and pH value in the sea water increase with the increasing temperature from north (except for No.15~17 stations) to south (expect for No.6 station). At the same time it is affirmed that photosynthesis is the major cause of the high contents of dissolved oxygen and pH value. And the nutrient salt shows a negative correlation with salinity. The total content of phytoplankton obviously increased with the reduction of nutrient salts from north to south.

文摘Change monitoring of distribution in time series models is an important issue. This paper proposes a procedure for monitoring changes in the error distribution of autoregressive time series, which is based on a weighed empirical process of residuals with weights equal to the regressors. The asymptotic properties of our monitoring statistic are derived under the null hypothesis of no change in distribution. The finite sample properties are investigated by a simulation. As it turns out, the procedure is not only able to detect distributional changes but also changes in the regression coefficient and mean, Finally, we apply the statistic to a groups of financial data.
文摘In the book [1] H.Triebel introduces the distributional dimension of fractals in an analytical form and proves that： for Г as a non-empty set in R^n with Lebesgue measure ｜Г｜ = 0, one has dimH Г = dimD Г, where dimD Г and dimH Г are the Hausdorff dimension and distributional dimension, respectively. Thus we might say that the distributional dimension is an analytical definition for Hausdorff dimension. Therefore we can study Hausdorff dimension through the distributional dimension analytically. By discussing the distributional dimension, this paper intends to set up a criterion for estimating the upper and lower bounds of Hausdorff dimension analytically. Examples illustrating the criterion are included in the end.

文摘The vast majority of in vitro studies have demonstrated that PINK1 phosphorylates Parkin to work together in mitophagy to protect against neuronal degeneration.However,it remains largely unclear how PINK1 and Parkin are expressed in mammalian brains.This has been difficult to address because of the intrinsically low levels of PINK1 and undetectable levels of phosphorylated Parkin in small animals.Understanding this issue is critical for elucidating the in vivo roles of PINK1 and Parkin.Recently,we showed that the PINK1 kinase is selectively expressed as a truncated form(PINK1–55)in the primate brain.In the present study,we used multiple antibodies,including our recently developed monoclonal anti-PINK1,to validate the selective expression of PINK1 in the primate brain.We found that PINK1 was stably expressed in the monkey brain at postnatal and adulthood stages,which is consistent with the findings that depleting PINK1 can cause neuronal loss in developing and adult monkey brains.PINK1 was enriched in the membrane-bound fractionations,whereas Parkin was soluble with a distinguishable distribution.Immunofluorescent double staining experiments showed that PINK1 and Parkin did not colocalize under physiological conditions in cultured monkey astrocytes,though they did colocalize on mitochondria when the cells were exposed to mitochondrial stress.These findings suggest that PINK1 and Parkin may have distinct roles beyond their well-known function in mitophagy during mitochondrial damage.
