Contrast Adaptation Decreases Complexity in Retinal Ganglion Cell Spike Train

The difference in temporal structures of retinal ganglion cell spike trains between spontaneous activity and firing activity after contrast adaptation is investigated. The Lempel-Ziv complexity analysis reveals that the complexity of the neural spike train decreases after contrast adaptation. This implies that the behaviour of the neuron becomes ordered, which may carry relevant information about the external stimulus. Thus, during the neuron activity after contrast adaptation, external information could be encoded in forms of some certain patterns in the temporal structure of spike train that is significantly different, compared to that of the spike train during spontaneous activity, although the firing rates in spontaneous activity and firing activity after contrast adaptation are sometime similar.     

Phase Transition and High Piezoactivity of Sb Doped （Na0.53K0.435Li0.035）Nb0.94Ta0.06 O3 Lead-Free Ceramics

Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with the composition of （Na0.53K0.435Li0.035）Nb0.94Ta0.06 O3 （NKLNST） axe synthesized by a conventional solid-state sintering process. An MPB-like region between orthorhombic and pseudocubic phases is found in this system. The density, piezoelectric and dielectric properties axe enhanced greatly in this region. A composition （Na0.53K0.435Li0.035）（Nb0.94Ta0.06）O3 is found to have excellent electrical properties： d33 = 320pC/N, kp= 49% and kt =43%, as well as relatively low loss, tan δ=4.2%, and high relative density higher than 96%, which indicate that this ceramics is a promising lead-free piezoceramics replacing for lead zirconate titanate.

尘埃粒子计数器中光源对传感器光通量的影响分析

在Mie散射理论基础上，由单分散射的光强表达式导出在偏振光的入射条件下一定立体角内的散射光通量的表达式，并与自然光入射作比较。计算了在相同强度不同光源入射下，尘埃粒子计数器的两种常用散射光收集系统收集的散射光通量。结果表明：采用近前向散射光收集系统得到的光通量相等；而采用直角方向散射光收集系统时两者并不相等，且在平面偏振光入射时，收集的散射光通量还跟探测器中心与入射光偏振方向夹角有关。用MATLAB编程计算，得出了在探测器中心与偏振方向的夹角成90°或270°位置时，收集的散射光通量有极值的结论，为激光尘埃计数器传感器光学设计提供了依据。
