A Novel Feeding Scheme for Bandwidth Enhancement of Suspended Planar Antenna

A suspended planar antenna with a novel feeding structure is proposed for bandwidth enhancement. This feeding structure can provide extra degrees of freedom to tune the antenna for compensating for the large inductance induced by the long feeding probe. An impedance bandwidth of 56% for VSWR<2 is obtained. Simulated and measured results are compared and good agreements are observed.     

An Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for the Minimum Weight Vertex Cover Problem

Given an undirected graph and a weighting function defined on the vertex set, the minimum weight vertex cover problem is to find a vertex subset whose total weight is minimum subject to the premise that the selected vertices cover all edges in the graph. In this paper, we introduce a meta-heuristic based upon the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) approach, to find approximate solutions to the minimum weight vertex cover problem. In the literature, the ACO approach has been successfully applied to several well-known combinatorial optimization problems whose solutions might be in the form of paths on the associated graphs. A solution to the minimum weight vertex cover problem however needs not to constitute a path. The ACO algorithm proposed in this paper incorporates several new features so as to select vertices out of the vertex set whereas the total weight can be minimized as much as possible. Computational experiments are designed and conducted to study the performance of our proposed approach. Numerical results evince that the ACO algorithm demonstrates significant effectiveness and robustness in solving the minimum weight vertex cover problem.     

Joint pricing and inventory control with a Markovian demand model

We consider the joint pricing and inventory control problem for a single product over a finite horizon and with periodic review. The demand distribution in each period is determined by an exogenous Markov chain. Pricing and ordering decisions are made at the beginning of each period and all shortages are backlogged. The surplus costs as well as fixed and variable costs are state dependent. We show the existence of an optimal (s, S, p)-type feedback policy for the additive demand model. We extend the model to the case of emergency orders. We compute the optimal policy for a class of Markovian demand and illustrate the benefits of dynamic pricing over fixed pricing through numerical examples. The results indicate that it is more beneficial to implement dynamic pricing in a Markovian demand environment with a high fixed ordering cost or with high demand variability.

Preparation and properties of the single 110 K phase Bi(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconductor

The single 110 K phase Bi(Pb)–Sr–Ca–Cu–O superconductor was made by sintering in air. Its zero-resistance temperature is 106 K, and it is an orthorhombic cell witha=5.403 Å,b=5.412 Å andc=37.062 Å. It formed around the low-T _c phase. The forming period of the 110 K phase can be shortened by multiple sintering and grinding. If PbO is mixed into the samples after the 85 K phase has formed, the forming rate of the 110 K phase can be increased significantly. EDAX analysis of grain composition confirms that the Pb atoms enter the unit cell, and probably Pb cations replace some Ca cations.

金属离子和热激处理对菊芋(Helianthus tuberosus L.)类金属硫蛋白基因htMT2表达的影响

使用不同金属离子及热激对菊芋进行了处理，并对菊芋不同组织器官中类金属硫蛋白基因(htMT2)mRNA水平的变化进行了研究．结果表明，htMT2在根中不表达，而且其表达不受金属离子的影响．Cu^2 降低叶中htMT2的表达，Cu^2 浓度与茎、叶中的htMT2 mRNA水平呈负相关性．在低浓度范围内，Zn^2 浓度与茎、叶中的htMT2 mRNA水平呈正相关性，而在高浓度范围内，Zn^2 浓度与htMT2 mRNA水平呈负相关性．Ca^2 对叶中htMT2表达的影响与Zn^2 的作用相似，但Ca^2 诱导茎中htMT2 mRNA水平升高．热激处理对不同组织中htMT2的表达无显著影响．研究的结果表明，htMT2表达受金属离子影响的特征与植物MT基因一致，进一步证实了我们前期工作中分离到的htMT2是一个新的植物MT基因．
