尼古丁的“口供”

This is a piece of confession made by Nicotine where its molecular structure and some physiological functions are introduced. The toxicity of Nicotine on human body has been revealed, based on an authentic suicide case. Combined with medical knowledge, the process of Nicotine intoxication, the mechanism of smoking addition and Nicotine's negative effect on human body, have been presented. Ultimately non-smoking advice is suggested for the sake of human health.     

并联结构体系联合验算点确定的渐近方法

联合验算点是并联结构体系可靠度分析中的一个重要概念。应用渐近手段，本文提出确定并联结构体系联合验算点的渐近方法，这种方法将一个复杂的优化问题转化为一个简单的构件可靠度分析问题。计算表明，这种方法收敛稳定，效率高。     

结构可靠指标的通用计算方法

在求解结构可靠指标时，保证迭代计算的收敛性是非常重要的，而实际计算表明，在有些情况下，用现有的计算方法（如JC法）进行迭代计算可能是不收敛的，这样给可靠指标的求解带来了困难。本文提出一个通用的可靠指标计算方法，通过引入可以根据迭代收敛条件自动调节的步长，实现对迭代过程和收敛性的控制。另外，本文方法不需要使用结构功能函数的偏导数，对于功能函数不能明确表达的可靠度问题尤为适用，对于功能函数可以明确表达但求导复杂的问题，可省去求导过程。最后，通过四个算例论证了本文方法的可行性。     

Purification and Characterization of a New Serine Protease with Fibrinolytic Activity from the Marine Invertebrate, Urechis unicinctus

A non-hemorrhagic, chymotrypsin-like serine protease, UFEII, was purified from the marine echiuroid worm, Urechis unicinctus, after a combination of chromatography steps. UFEII was monomeric, with an apparent molecular weight of 26.7 kDa via SDS-PAGE. The isoelectric point of UFEII was 4.03, and the maximum activity of the enzyme was observed at 50 °C and pH?8.0. According to fibrin plate assays, UFEII could not only directly degrade fibrin and fibrinogen but also activate plasminogen. Further, UFEII preferentially hydrolyzed the fibrinogen γ-chain, followed by the Bβ-chains and Aα-chains. Moreover, ufeII, full length of the gene encoding UFEII, was obtained by RT-PCR, degenerated PCR, and nested PCR. The ufeII was determined to be a 906-bp cDNA containing an open reading frame of 795 bp encoding a putative protein of 264 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 27.03 kDa. Besides, UFEII exhibited no hemorrhagic effect. Overall, U. unicinctus may represent a potential source of new therapeutic agents in thrombolytic therapy.

Chaotic phase synchronization in a modular neuronal network of small-world subnetworks

We investigate the onset of chaotic phase synchronization of bursting oscillators in a modular neuronal network of small-world subnetworks. A transition to mutual phase synchronization takes place on the bursting time scale of coupled oscillators, while on the spiking time scale, they behave asynchronously. It is shown that this bursting synchronization transition can be induced not only by the variations of inter- and intra-coupling strengths but also by changing the probability of random links between different subnetworks. We also analyze the effect of external chaotic phase synchronization of bursting behavior in this clustered network by an external time-periodic signal applied to a single neuron. Simulation results demonstrate a frequency locking tongue in the driving parameter plane, where bursting synchronization is maintained, even with the external driving. The width of this synchronization region increases with the signal amplitude and the number of driven neurons but decreases rapidly with the network size. Considering that the synchronization of bursting neurons is thought to play a key role in some pathological conditions, the presented results could have important implications for the role of externally applied driving signal in controlling bursting activity in neuronal ensembles.
