However, species diversity in this genus was not fully verified by molecular investigation and polyphasic taxonomic studies. In this study, Merismopedia-like strain tenuissima CHAB 7021 was isolated from Ganjiang River in Jiangxi Province, China, and polyphasic characterization of this strain was performed by morphological observation, ultrastructural examination, chemical detection of pigments and phylogenetic analysis based on 16 S rRNA gene sequences. Morphological identification of the strain was supported by the ultrastructural features, as the tiny species Merismopedia tenuissima Lemmermann. The phylogeny based on 16 S rRNA gene sequences revealed at least three clades formed by the strains of Merismopedia. The three M. tenuissima strains including M. tenuissima CHAB 7021 was gathered in clade III with distant relationship to the clade I formed by the six Merismopedia strains including the type species M. punctata, and such a genetic distance may propose Merismopedia tenuissima to separate from Merismopedia genus. However intermixture relationship in between strains of M. punctate and M. glauca in the phylogenetic tree still complicated the taxonomic status in the genus Merismopedia. The process for taxonomic revision in the Merismopedia genus still await for examination and further information on more strains of type species M. punctata.展开更多

Systematic studies on it were carried out. Results show that the strain JSA1 is bacillus. The temperature range most suitable for its growth is 29 - 35 ℃ and the most suitable pH is 6. 5 - 9. 0. It can grow well at the salt mass concentration of 30 - 150 g/L. The C ＋ G mole fraction of its DNA is 37.5%. The analytical result of 16S rRNA gene sequence reveals that this strain has the closest relationship with Alkalibacillus halophilus （DQ359731） of Alkalibacillts. Their similarities are as high as 99%. However, they have obvious differences in aspects of whole-cell main fatty acid components, cell size, cell morphology, motility, oxidase, gelatine liquefication, NaCl tolerance range, pH tolerance range, G ＋ C mole fraction, sole carbon source, sole nitrogen source, antibiotic sensitivity and strain source. Comparing with other species of the same genus, differences of this strain are even more obvious. In view of muhiple identification results, we believe this strain is a new subspecies ofAlkalibacillus halophilus and name it Alkalibacillus halophilus subsp, hitensis subsp, nov.展开更多

During the Triassic, this orogenic belt was strongly eroded, and basins were further developed. Starting from the Jurassic, a within-plate regional extension occurred, forming a series of Jurassic-Paleogene extensional basins in the peneplaned Tianshan region. Since the Neogene, a collision event between the Indian and the Eurasian plates that took place on the southern side of the Tianshan belt has caused a strong intra-continental orogeny, which is characterized by thrusting and folding. Extremely thick coarse conglomerate and sandy conglomerate of the Xiyu Formation of Neogene System were accumulated unconformably on the Tianshan piedmont. Studies have revealed that the strong compression caused by the Indian-Eurasian collision had a profound influence over the orogenic belt in the hinterland, and MesozoiC-Cenozoic brittle deformed structures superposed on the ductile deformed Paleozoic rocks. The Mesozoic extensional basins were converted into Cenozoic compressional basins. The deformation in the basins is featured by step thrusts and fault-related folds. Statistics of joints show that the principal compressive stress since the Neogene is in a N-S direction. Meanwhile, owing to the underthrusting of the basin toward the orogenic belt, the Paleozoic strata were thrust on the Meso-Cenozoic rocks as tectonic slices, revealing distinct kinematic features in different geologic units. The basin-range coupling zones are characterized by intensive compression, folding and thrusting, accompanied by local sub-E-W-trending strike-slip faults. In the Tianshan region, Cenozoic thrusting is the most common basin-range coupling mode. The folding and faulting of Mesozoic sedimentary rocks, spontaneous combustion of Jurassic coal layers and formation of sintered rocks, the Cenozoic earthquakes and active faulting, and the unique mosaic pattern of basin-range framework of Xinjiang are all products of tectonism since the Neogene.展开更多

Excludi...Different scales of structural data reveal a complex deformation history of ultrahigh- pressure （UHP） rocks exposed in the Weihai-Rongcbeng area, NE Sulu （northern Jiangsu-eastern Shandong）, eastern China. Excluding pre-UHP deformations, at least five major sequential deformational stages （D1-Ds） are recognized. The first deformation （DO produced a weak foliation and lineation in massive eclogites. The foliated eclogite with a dominant foliation containing a stretching and mineral lineation was developed during the I）2 deformation. Both the D1 and D2 deformations occurred under UHP metamorphic conditions, and are well preserved in the eclogite bodies. D3 structures which developed shortly after the formation of granulite/amphibolite facies symplectites are characterized by imbricated associations marked by a regional, steeply dipping foliation, compositional layering, eclogite boudinage, isoclinal folds and reverse ductile shear zones. The D3 deformation was accompanied by decompressional partial melting. A regional, gently dipping amphibolite facies foliation and stretching lineation, low-angle detachments, and dome- and arc-shaped structures formed during the D4 deformation stage dominate to some degree the map pattern of the Weihai-Rongcbeng UHP domain. The last stage of deformation （Ds） gave rise to the final exhumation of the UHP rocks. Ds is characterized by development of brittle-dominated high-angle faulting associated with emplacement of large volmnes of undeformed granite plutons and dykes dated at 134-100 Ma. The deformational and metamorphic sequence followed by the UHP rocks in the Weihai-Rongcheng area is similar to that studied in the entire Dabie-Sulu UHP and HP metamorphic belts from microscopic to mapping scale. Based on structural data, combined with available petrographic, metamorphic and geochronological data, a speculative tectonic evolutionary model for the Dabie-Sulu UHP and IIP belts is proposed, involving continental subduction/collision between the Sino-Korean and Yangtze cratons and subsequent polyphase exhumation histories of the UHP and IIP metamorphic rocks.展开更多

These architectures are made efficient by using a polyphase channelizer that performs arbitrary sample rate changes, frequency selection, and bandwidth control. We discuss area, time, and power optimization for field programmable gate array （FPGA） based architectures in an Mpath polyphase filter bank with modified Npath polyphase filter. Such systems allow resampling by arbitrary ratios while simultaneously performing baseband aliasing from center frequencies at Nyquist zones that are not multiples of the output sample rate. A nonmaximally decimated polyphase filter bank, where the number of data loads is not equal to the number of M subfilters, processes M subfilters in a time period that is either less than or greater than the Mdataload ＇ s time period. We present a loadprocess architecture （LPA） and a runtime architecture （RA） （based on serial polyphase structure） which have different scheduling. In LPA, Nsubfilters are loaded, and then M subfilters are processed at a clock rate that is a multiple of the input data rate. This is necessary to meet the output time constraint of the down-sampled data. In RA, Msubfilters processes are efficiently scheduled within Ndataload time while simultaneously loading N subfilters. This requires reduced clock rates compared with LPA, and potentially less power is consumed. A polyphase filter bank that uses different resampling factors for maximally decimated, underdecimated, overdecimated, and combined upand downsampled scenarios is used as a case study, and an analysis of area, time, and power for their FPGA architectures is given. For resourceoptimized SDR frontends, RA is superior for reducing operating clock rates and dynamic power consumption. RA is also superior for reducing area resources, except when indices are prestored in LUTs.展开更多

These engines, based on a polyphase channelizer, perform arbitrary sample-rate changes, frequency selection, and bandwidth control. This paper presents an M-path polyphase filter bank based on a modified N-path polyphase filter. Such a system allows resampling by arbitrary ratios while performing baseband aliasing from center frequencies at Nyquist zones that are not multiples of the output sample rate. This resampling technique is based on sliding cyclic data load interacting with cyclic-shifted coefficients. A non-maximally-decimated polyphase filterbank （where the number of data loads is not equal to the number of M subfilters） processes M subfilters in a time period that is less than or greater than the M data loads. A polyphase filter bank with five different resampling modes is used as a case study for embedded resamp/ing in SDR front-ends. These modes are （i） maximally decimated, （ii） Under-decimated, （iii） over-decimated, and combined up- and down-sampling with （iv） single stride length, and （v） multiple stride lengths. These modes can be used to obtain any required rational sampling rate change in an SDR front-end based on a polyphase channelizer. They can also be used for translation to and from arbitrary center frequencies that are unrelated to the output sample rates.展开更多

From west to east, this accretionary wedge extends ~1000 km between the Minab Fault in Iran, and the Ornach-Nal Fault in Pakistan. The ongoing oceanic subduction characterizes this belt between the Iranian Plateau and the Tibetan Plateau, both of which were generated by collision of Eurasian with the Arabian and Indian plates, and provides an ideal target to recover the tectonic history of subduction. The western Makran located in Iran can be subdivided into four units: The North Makran ophiolitic mélange, the Inner Makran, the Outer Makran, and the Coastal Makran. Based on our detailed structural analysis and geochronological dating, we obtain several new results that can help us to better understand the structural evolution:(1) The North Makran ophiolitic mélange includes thick piles of volcanic rocks and limestone that directly cover the mantle peridotite, so it is likely to be part of an Early Cretaceous volcanic arc by our zircon dating at ~115 Ma on mafic intrusions;(2) The entire western Makran underwent three phases of deformation. D1 is characterized by top-to-the S/SW thrusting as evidence by southward emplacement of the ophiolitic mélange onto the Eocene sedimentary rocks. D2 deformation strongly folded the pre-late Miocene/early Pliocene strata that also corresponds to the final emplacement of the ophiolite to the surface. D3 structures extends in a N-S direction with top-to-the W kinematics that overthrust the Miocene sandstone onto the Pliocene fluvial sediments along the Minab Fault;(3) Combined with geological and geochronological relationship, D1 occurred at ~45-35 Ma, D2 initiated in middle Miocene and ended with a regional late Miocene-early Pliocene uncomformity, and D3 structures are still active as the subduction continues.展开更多

Video scal- ing is used in a wide range of applications from broadcast, medical imaging and high-resolution video effects to video surveillance, and video conferencing. Many algorithms have been proposed for these applications, such as piecewise polynomial kernels and windowed sinc kernels. The sum of three shifted versions of a B-spline function, whose weights can be adjusted for different applications, is adopted as the main filter. The proposed algorithm is confirmed to be effective on image scaling ap- plications and also verified by many widely acknowledged image quality measures. The reconfigu- rable hardware architecture constitutes an arbitrary scaler with low resource consumption and high performance targeted for field programmable gate array （FPGA） devices. The scaling factor can be changed on-the-fly, and the filter can also be changed during runtime within a unifying framework.展开更多

However, such fundamental issues have not been well resolved. A theoretical analysis has been made to develop expressions for the flow laws of polyphase rocks in terms of the volume fractions and flow laws of their constituent phases. The flow strengths predicted by the proposed model for common crustal and upper mantle rocks such as granite, diorite, diabase and lherzolite, and for synthetic two phase composites such as forsterite enstatite and water ice ammonia dehydrate aggregates are in good agreement with previously determined experimental values. The proposed theoretical model allows one to calculate, to the first approximation, the flow laws of a large number of polyphase rocks at geologic conditions based on the experimentally determined flow laws of a relatively small number of monomineralic aggregates.展开更多

And a recognition algorithm based on Wigner-Hough transform (WHT) is developed in this paper. We verify the validity of each method by computer simulation and give relative merits and demerits. A set of results demonstrate that the algorithm based on Wigner-Hough transform has better recognition performance in low signal-to-noise (SNR) than others.展开更多

Based on the modified prime factorization method and multistage polyphase decomposition, an efficient non-recursive structure for the cascaded integrator-comb （CIC） decimation filter is derived. Utilizing this structure as the core part, the proposed comb decimator can not only loosen the decimation ratio＇s limitation, but also balance the tradeoff among the overall power consumption, circuit area and maximum speed. Further, to improve the frequency response of the comb decimator, a cos-prefilter is introduced as the preprocessing part for increasing the aliasing rejection, and an optimum sin-based filter is used as the compensation part for decreasing the passband droop.展开更多

文摘The N70°DASA graben is a closed-rift that seems to be the deepest part of the Tim MersoïBasin,which is located in the northwestern part of Niger in West Africa.It contains more than 805 m of Paleozoic-Mesozoic sediments.The tectonic subsidence and uplifting was calculated by using well log data and deducing the variations in sedimentary thicknesses over time.Geological mapping and tectono-sedimentary analysis indicate that the structural evolution of the DASA trough is characterized by two major periods:(1)the first period was marked by an uplift stage ranging from the Carboniferous to the Permian.It was typified by a weak subsidence rate(3.45 m/Ma on average),under a transpressive tectonic regime,with a decrease in the thickness of the sedimentary series along the axial zone of the trough,and an increase of the thickness towards the border areas;(2)the second period was characterized by a higher subsidence rate(4.11 m/Ma on average)related to a change in the tectonic regime.It was marked by a rifting stage preserved over a long period,subjected to an extensive tectonic regime,from the Triassic to the lower Cretaceous,during which the highest thicknesses of the sedimentary series developed in the axial zone of the graben.The structural and sedimentological features defined the DASA graben as a particular type of syn-sedimentary basin evolving from a transpressive tectonic regime during the Paleozoic to an extensive tectonic regime during the Lower Mesozoic.Thus,the second period marked by an extensional regime would probably be related to the opening of the first stages of the Atlantic Ocean.

文摘Studies show that the Tianshan orogenic belt was built in the late stage of the Paleozoic, as evidenced by the Permian red molasses and foreland basins, which are distributed in parallel with the Tianshan belt, indicating that an intense folding and uplifting event took place. During the Triassic, this orogenic belt was strongly eroded, and basins were further developed. Starting from the Jurassic, a within-plate regional extension occurred, forming a series of Jurassic-Paleogene extensional basins in the peneplaned Tianshan region. Since the Neogene, a collision event between the Indian and the Eurasian plates that took place on the southern side of the Tianshan belt has caused a strong intra-continental orogeny, which is characterized by thrusting and folding. Extremely thick coarse conglomerate and sandy conglomerate of the Xiyu Formation of Neogene System were accumulated unconformably on the Tianshan piedmont. Studies have revealed that the strong compression caused by the Indian-Eurasian collision had a profound influence over the orogenic belt in the hinterland, and MesozoiC-Cenozoic brittle deformed structures superposed on the ductile deformed Paleozoic rocks. The Mesozoic extensional basins were converted into Cenozoic compressional basins. The deformation in the basins is featured by step thrusts and fault-related folds. Statistics of joints show that the principal compressive stress since the Neogene is in a N-S direction. Meanwhile, owing to the underthrusting of the basin toward the orogenic belt, the Paleozoic strata were thrust on the Meso-Cenozoic rocks as tectonic slices, revealing distinct kinematic features in different geologic units. The basin-range coupling zones are characterized by intensive compression, folding and thrusting, accompanied by local sub-E-W-trending strike-slip faults. In the Tianshan region, Cenozoic thrusting is the most common basin-range coupling mode. The folding and faulting of Mesozoic sedimentary rocks, spontaneous combustion of Jurassic coal layers and formation of sintered rocks, the Cenozoic earthquakes and active faulting, and the unique mosaic pattern of basin-range framework of Xinjiang are all products of tectonism since the Neogene.

文摘Different scales of structural data reveal a complex deformation history of ultrahigh- pressure （UHP） rocks exposed in the Weihai-Rongcbeng area, NE Sulu （northern Jiangsu-eastern Shandong）, eastern China. Excluding pre-UHP deformations, at least five major sequential deformational stages （D1-Ds） are recognized. The first deformation （DO produced a weak foliation and lineation in massive eclogites. The foliated eclogite with a dominant foliation containing a stretching and mineral lineation was developed during the I）2 deformation. Both the D1 and D2 deformations occurred under UHP metamorphic conditions, and are well preserved in the eclogite bodies. D3 structures which developed shortly after the formation of granulite/amphibolite facies symplectites are characterized by imbricated associations marked by a regional, steeply dipping foliation, compositional layering, eclogite boudinage, isoclinal folds and reverse ductile shear zones. The D3 deformation was accompanied by decompressional partial melting. A regional, gently dipping amphibolite facies foliation and stretching lineation, low-angle detachments, and dome- and arc-shaped structures formed during the D4 deformation stage dominate to some degree the map pattern of the Weihai-Rongcbeng UHP domain. The last stage of deformation （Ds） gave rise to the final exhumation of the UHP rocks. Ds is characterized by development of brittle-dominated high-angle faulting associated with emplacement of large volmnes of undeformed granite plutons and dykes dated at 134-100 Ma. The deformational and metamorphic sequence followed by the UHP rocks in the Weihai-Rongcheng area is similar to that studied in the entire Dabie-Sulu UHP and HP metamorphic belts from microscopic to mapping scale. Based on structural data, combined with available petrographic, metamorphic and geochronological data, a speculative tectonic evolutionary model for the Dabie-Sulu UHP and IIP belts is proposed, involving continental subduction/collision between the Sino-Korean and Yangtze cratons and subsequent polyphase exhumation histories of the UHP and IIP metamorphic rocks.
文摘In this paper, we describe resourceefficient hardware architectures for softwaredefined radio （SDR） frontends. These architectures are made efficient by using a polyphase channelizer that performs arbitrary sample rate changes, frequency selection, and bandwidth control. We discuss area, time, and power optimization for field programmable gate array （FPGA） based architectures in an Mpath polyphase filter bank with modified Npath polyphase filter. Such systems allow resampling by arbitrary ratios while simultaneously performing baseband aliasing from center frequencies at Nyquist zones that are not multiples of the output sample rate. A nonmaximally decimated polyphase filter bank, where the number of data loads is not equal to the number of M subfilters, processes M subfilters in a time period that is either less than or greater than the Mdataload ＇ s time period. We present a loadprocess architecture （LPA） and a runtime architecture （RA） （based on serial polyphase structure） which have different scheduling. In LPA, Nsubfilters are loaded, and then M subfilters are processed at a clock rate that is a multiple of the input data rate. This is necessary to meet the output time constraint of the down-sampled data. In RA, Msubfilters processes are efficiently scheduled within Ndataload time while simultaneously loading N subfilters. This requires reduced clock rates compared with LPA, and potentially less power is consumed. A polyphase filter bank that uses different resampling factors for maximally decimated, underdecimated, overdecimated, and combined upand downsampled scenarios is used as a case study, and an analysis of area, time, and power for their FPGA architectures is given. For resourceoptimized SDR frontends, RA is superior for reducing operating clock rates and dynamic power consumption. RA is also superior for reducing area resources, except when indices are prestored in LUTs.
文摘The modelling, design and implementation of a high-speed programmable polyphase finite impulse response (FIR) filter with field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology are described. This FIR filter can run automatically according to the programmable configuration word including symmetry/asymmetry, odd/even taps, from 32 taps up to 256 taps. The filter with 12 bit signal and 12 bit coefficient word-length has been realized on a Xilinx VirtexⅡ-v1500 device and operates at the maximum sampling frequency of (160 MHz.)
文摘This paper presents efficient processing engines for software-defined radio （SDR） front-ends. These engines, based on a polyphase channelizer, perform arbitrary sample-rate changes, frequency selection, and bandwidth control. This paper presents an M-path polyphase filter bank based on a modified N-path polyphase filter. Such a system allows resampling by arbitrary ratios while performing baseband aliasing from center frequencies at Nyquist zones that are not multiples of the output sample rate. This resampling technique is based on sliding cyclic data load interacting with cyclic-shifted coefficients. A non-maximally-decimated polyphase filterbank （where the number of data loads is not equal to the number of M subfilters） processes M subfilters in a time period that is less than or greater than the M data loads. A polyphase filter bank with five different resampling modes is used as a case study for embedded resamp/ing in SDR front-ends. These modes are （i） maximally decimated, （ii） Under-decimated, （iii） over-decimated, and combined up- and down-sampling with （iv） single stride length, and （v） multiple stride lengths. These modes can be used to obtain any required rational sampling rate change in an SDR front-end based on a polyphase channelizer. They can also be used for translation to and from arbitrary center frequencies that are unrelated to the output sample rates.

文摘The Makran represents a huge accretionary wedge in SE Iran that resulted from the long-lasting subduction of the Neotethys Ocean since the Mesozoic. From west to east, this accretionary wedge extends ~1000 km between the Minab Fault in Iran, and the Ornach-Nal Fault in Pakistan. The ongoing oceanic subduction characterizes this belt between the Iranian Plateau and the Tibetan Plateau, both of which were generated by collision of Eurasian with the Arabian and Indian plates, and provides an ideal target to recover the tectonic history of subduction. The western Makran located in Iran can be subdivided into four units: The North Makran ophiolitic mélange, the Inner Makran, the Outer Makran, and the Coastal Makran. Based on our detailed structural analysis and geochronological dating, we obtain several new results that can help us to better understand the structural evolution:(1) The North Makran ophiolitic mélange includes thick piles of volcanic rocks and limestone that directly cover the mantle peridotite, so it is likely to be part of an Early Cretaceous volcanic arc by our zircon dating at ~115 Ma on mafic intrusions;(2) The entire western Makran underwent three phases of deformation. D1 is characterized by top-to-the S/SW thrusting as evidence by southward emplacement of the ophiolitic mélange onto the Eocene sedimentary rocks. D2 deformation strongly folded the pre-late Miocene/early Pliocene strata that also corresponds to the final emplacement of the ophiolite to the surface. D3 structures extends in a N-S direction with top-to-the W kinematics that overthrust the Miocene sandstone onto the Pliocene fluvial sediments along the Minab Fault;(3) Combined with geological and geochronological relationship, D1 occurred at ~45-35 Ma, D2 initiated in middle Miocene and ended with a regional late Miocene-early Pliocene uncomformity, and D3 structures are still active as the subduction continues.

文摘A runtime reconfigurable very-large-scale integration （VLSI） architecture for image and video scaling by arbitrary factors with good antialiasing performance is presented in this paper. Video scal- ing is used in a wide range of applications from broadcast, medical imaging and high-resolution video effects to video surveillance, and video conferencing. Many algorithms have been proposed for these applications, such as piecewise polynomial kernels and windowed sinc kernels. The sum of three shifted versions of a B-spline function, whose weights can be adjusted for different applications, is adopted as the main filter. The proposed algorithm is confirmed to be effective on image scaling ap- plications and also verified by many widely acknowledged image quality measures. The reconfigu- rable hardware architecture constitutes an arbitrary scaler with low resource consumption and high performance targeted for field programmable gate array （FPGA） devices. The scaling factor can be changed on-the-fly, and the filter can also be changed during runtime within a unifying framework.
文摘Rheological properties of polyphase rocks play an important role in the dynamics of the lithosphere and asthenosphere. However, such fundamental issues have not been well resolved. A theoretical analysis has been made to develop expressions for the flow laws of polyphase rocks in terms of the volume fractions and flow laws of their constituent phases. The flow strengths predicted by the proposed model for common crustal and upper mantle rocks such as granite, diorite, diabase and lherzolite, and for synthetic two phase composites such as forsterite enstatite and water ice ammonia dehydrate aggregates are in good agreement with previously determined experimental values. The proposed theoretical model allows one to calculate, to the first approximation, the flow laws of a large number of polyphase rocks at geologic conditions based on the experimentally determined flow laws of a relatively small number of monomineralic aggregates.
文摘In order to solve the recognition of polyphase code radar signal, this paper gives two methods based on Frank code, i.e. the high-order spectrum recognition method and the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) method, by analyzing the micro characteristics of polyphase code signals in time and frequency domain respectively. And a recognition algorithm based on Wigner-Hough transform (WHT) is developed in this paper. We verify the validity of each method by computer simulation and give relative merits and demerits. A set of results demonstrate that the algorithm based on Wigner-Hough transform has better recognition performance in low signal-to-noise (SNR) than others.

文摘A three-part comb decimator is presented in this paper, for the applications with severe requirements of circuit performance and frequency response. Based on the modified prime factorization method and multistage polyphase decomposition, an efficient non-recursive structure for the cascaded integrator-comb （CIC） decimation filter is derived. Utilizing this structure as the core part, the proposed comb decimator can not only loosen the decimation ratio＇s limitation, but also balance the tradeoff among the overall power consumption, circuit area and maximum speed. Further, to improve the frequency response of the comb decimator, a cos-prefilter is introduced as the preprocessing part for increasing the aliasing rejection, and an optimum sin-based filter is used as the compensation part for decreasing the passband droop.
