But the preprocessing meth- ods reported in the literatures were not the same. In order to screen the best pre- processing method, this paper took three typical treatments to explore the effect of different preprocessing methods on soil microbial community functional diversity. The results showed that, method B＇s overall trend of AWCD values was better than A and C＇s. Method B＇s microbial utilization of six carbon sources was higher, and the result was relatively stable. The Simpson index, Shannon richness index and Car- bon source utilization richness index of the two treatments were B〉C〉A, while the Mclntosh index and Shannon evenness were not very stable, but the difference of variance analysis was not significant, and the method B was always with a smallest variance. Method B＇s principal component analysis was better than A and C＇s. In a word, the method using 250 r/min shaking for 30 minutes and cultivating at 28 ℃ was the best one, because it was simple, convenient, and with good repeatability.展开更多

Because a shortage of organ donation is a serious social issue in Japan, various solutions to the issue have been considered. Although it was believed that the most critical factor in the organ shortage was the absence of a well-established social system, no prior studies attempted to analyze the issue from the perspective of the mechanisms and organizational behaviors. To identify common success factors of increasing organ donation, we conducted a qualitative survey in 5 countries promoting organ donations on a national level and increasing the number of organ donations. We found several important common factors: 1) to change from an explicit consent system to a presumed consent system with establishment of an appropriate in-hospital system, 2) to increase the level of job satisfaction of healthcare professionals and help them generating better results, 3) to demonstrate managements’ leadership for all staff to realize the importance of organ donations, 4) to establish an environment where medical professionals engaged in organ donations can appreciate autonomous working styles, the recognition of the importance of the work. It is suggested that these successful factors are introduced into Japan with long-, mid-term strategy to enhance organ donation.展开更多

FOPID controller has five parameters and provides two additional degrees of flexibility in comparison to a proportional integral derivative （PID） controller. The optimal values of parameters of FOPID controller have been determined using Big Bang Big Crunch （BBBC） search algorithm. The designed controller regulates real power output of generators to achieve the best dynamic response of frequency and tie-line power on a load perturbation. The complete scheme for designing of the controllers has been developed and demonstrated on multiarea deregulated power system. The performance of the designed FOPID controllers has been compared with the optimally tuned PID controllers. It is observed from the results that the FOPID controller shows a considerable improvement in the performance as compared to the conventional PID controller.展开更多

It breaks through traditional intercepting methods of missiles and combines comba- ting time characteristics of MIRV missiles with the principle of computer process schedule. In this paper, a way of firstly intercepting the target missile with higher threaten grade is proposed. This method determines the threaten grade of the attacking target according to computer process schedu- ling algorithms, then appljed a proportional navigation guidance law to intercept target missiles in priority so that it achieves the effect of less damage. The simulation results indicate that it is effective to use the proportional navigation guidance law based on the process scheduling to intercept target missile. It possesses referential value in modem weapon combats.展开更多

The proposed CU gate utilizes quantum non-demolition photon-number-resolving measure- ment based on the weak cross-Kerr nonlinearities （XKNLs） and two quantum bus beams; the proposed CU gate consists of consecutive operations of a controlled-path gate and a gathering-path gate. It is almost deterministic and is feasible with current technology when a strong amplitude of the coherent state and weak XKNLs are employed. Compared with the existing optical multi-qubit or controlled gates, which utilize XKNLs and homodyne detectors, the proposed CU gate can increase experimental realization feasibility and enhance robustness against decoherence. According to the CU gate, we present a BTQI scheme in which the two unknown states of photons between two parties （Alice and Bob） are mutually swapped by transferring only a single photon. Consequently, by using the proposed CU gate, it is possible to experimentally implement the BTQI scheme with a certain probability of success.展开更多

This activity is reversed upon exposure to light, by photoacti- vated phy molecules that induce degradation of the PIFs, thereby triggering the transcriptional changes that drive a tran- sition to photomorphogenesis. The PIFs function both redundantly and partially differentially at the morphogenic level in this process, To identify the direct targets of PIF transcriptional regulation genome-wide, we analyzed the DNA-binding sites for all four PIFs by ChlP-seq analysis, and defined the genes transcriptionally regulated by each PIF, using RNA-seq analysis of pif mutants. Despite the absence of detectable differences in DNA-binding-motif recognition between the PIFs, the data show a spectrum of regulatory patterns, ranging from single PIF dominance to equal contributions by all four. Similarly, a broad array of promoter architectures was found, ranging from single PIF-binding sites, containing single sequence motifs, through multiple PIF-binding sites, each containing one or more motifs, with each site occupied prefer- entially by one to multiple PIFs. Quantitative analysis of the promoter occupancy and expression level induced by each PIF revealed an intriguing pattern. Although there is no robust correlation broadly across the target-gene population, examination of individual genes that are shared targets of multiple PIFs shows a gradation in correlation from strongly positive, through uncorrelated, to negative. This finding suggests a dual-layered mechanism of transcriptional regulation, comprising both a continuum of binding-site occupancy by each PIF and a superimposed layer of local regulation that acts differentially on each PIF, to modulate its intrinsic transcriptional activation capacity at each site, in a quantitative pattern that varies between the individual PIFs from gene to gene. These findings provide a framework for probing the mecha- nisms by which transcription factors with overlapping direct-target genes integrate and selectively transduce signals to their target networks.展开更多

Both the B3LYP and BLYP functionals with standardall-electron basis sets are used to give the detailed information of the potential energy surface(PES) of [Ni, C_2, H_6]^+. The mechanisms forming the products CH_4 and H_2 in the reaction of Ni^+with ethane are proposed. The reductive eliminations of CH_4 and H_2 are typicaladdition-elimination reactions. Each of the two reactions consists of two elementary steps; C―C orC―H bond activations to form inserted species followed by isomerizations to form product-likeintermediate. The rate determining steps for the elimination reactions of forming CH_4 and H_2 arethe isomerizations of the inserted species rather than C―C or C―H bond activations. Theelimination reaction of forming H_2 was found to be thermodynamically favored compared to that ofCH_4.展开更多

Results showed that the adsorption of quats on Nuchar SA increased with increase in chain length （hydrophobicity） of quats. Filtrasorb 400, however, had limited uptake of long-chain quats such as dodecyl- trimethylammonium and hexadecyltrimethylammoium （HDTMA）. Results indicated that perchlorate removal by the functionalized activated carbon was directly related to the chain length of the modifying quats. Perchlorate removal by functionalized activated carbon increased with increase in chain length of the modifying quats and became less pH-dependent. Modified Nuchar SA had higher overall perchlorate removal capacity than the modified Filtrasorb F400, but was more strongly affected by pH than Filtrasorb 400. Activated carbon treated with HDTMA exhibited the best perchlorate removal capacity among all quats studied. Results indicated that tailoring the activated carbon surface with HDTMA rendered the activated carbon surface positively charged, which resulted in substantial increase in perchlorate removal compared to unfunctionalized activated carbons.展开更多

文摘Two types of activated carbon, namely, Filtrasorb 400 and Nuchar SA, were functionalized by quaternary ammonium salts （quats）, as to enhance perchlorate adsorption. Results showed that the adsorption of quats on Nuchar SA increased with increase in chain length （hydrophobicity） of quats. Filtrasorb 400, however, had limited uptake of long-chain quats such as dodecyl- trimethylammonium and hexadecyltrimethylammoium （HDTMA）. Results indicated that perchlorate removal by the functionalized activated carbon was directly related to the chain length of the modifying quats. Perchlorate removal by functionalized activated carbon increased with increase in chain length of the modifying quats and became less pH-dependent. Modified Nuchar SA had higher overall perchlorate removal capacity than the modified Filtrasorb F400, but was more strongly affected by pH than Filtrasorb 400. Activated carbon treated with HDTMA exhibited the best perchlorate removal capacity among all quats studied. Results indicated that tailoring the activated carbon surface with HDTMA rendered the activated carbon surface positively charged, which resulted in substantial increase in perchlorate removal compared to unfunctionalized activated carbons.

文摘Appropriate maintenance technologies that facilitate model consistency in distributed simulation systems are relevant but generally unavailable.To resolve this problem,we analyze the main factors that cause model inconsistency.The analysis methods used for traditional distributed simulations are mostly empirical and qualitative,and disregard the dynamic characteristics of factor evolution in model operational running.Furthermore,distributed simulation applications(DSAs)are rapidly evolving in terms of large-scale,distributed,service-oriented,compositional,and dynamic features.Such developments present difficulty in the use of traditional analysis methods in DSAs,for the analysis of factorial effects on simulation models.To solve these problems,we construct a dynamic evolution mechanism of model consistency,called the connected model hyper-digraph(CMH).CMH is developed using formal methods that accurately specify the evolutional processes and activities of models(i.e.,self-evolution,interoperability,compositionality,and authenticity).We also develop an algorithm of model consistency evolution(AMCE)based on CMH to quantitatively and dynamically evaluate influencing factors.Experimental results demonstrate that non-combination(33.7%on average)is the most influential factor,non-single-directed understanding(26.6%)is the second most influential,and non-double-directed understanding(5.0%)is the least influential.Unlike previous analysis methods,AMCE provides good feasibility and effectiveness.This research can serve as guidance for designers of consistency maintenance technologies toward achieving a high level of consistency in future DSAs.
