Long range correlation of hydrophilicity and flexibility along the calcium binding protein chains

Long range correlation concerning hydrophilicity and flexibility along a number of 80 calcium binding protein sequences is confirmed by using spectral analysis and detrended fluctuations analysis methods, as well as by Hurst exponent calculations. There are no significant differences between the correlation properties concerning these properties for the two structural subfamilies, extended and compact, of the calcium binding proteins and they are also similar with the correlation properties revealed by other investigated proteins. This result sustains the hypothesis that the long range correlation of hydrophilicity and flexibility along the chain is a common feature of proteins.     

基于形态学水线区域的深度图像分割

深度图像分割是基于特征关系图匹配的曲面物体识别中的关键技术之一,针对已有深度图像分割方法存在的问题,提出了一种基于二值形态学的水线区域增长算法对深度图像进行分割。首先用结构元素迭代腐蚀深度图像形成距离图像;然后根据距离图像计算极限腐蚀的集合,提取出目标的种子点;最后用条件粗化从种子点开始生长回到原尺寸但不使各区域相连,完成深度图像的分割。实验证明,算法的分割结果与人的主观视觉感知具有良好的一致性。     

A Remark on the Decay of Correlations for Mixed-Range Spin Vector Models

In this short note we present some explicit conditions under which the Theorem of Braga et al. (J. Stat. Phys. 129:587–591, 2007) can be extended to spin-spin correlation functions of mixed short-range/long-range ferromagnetic vector spin models in the disordered phase.     

用于双色全息存储(Fe,Cu)∶LiNbO3晶体的参量优化计算

在确定Cu在LiNbO3晶体中对应于365 nm和633 nm的激发系数、复合系数、光伏系数的基础上,采用龙格库塔(Runge-Kutta)数值方法理论研究了双掺杂(Fe,Cu)∶LiNbO3晶体的深浅能级的掺杂组分比、氧化还原状态对双色全息存储的记录灵敏度和动态范围的影响,并探讨了同时取得尽可能大的灵敏度和动态范围的晶体条件。结果表明,为了同时得到较大的记录灵敏度和动态范围,在实际应用中选用浅能级掺杂浓度为5.0×1025m-3,深能级掺杂浓度为3×1024~3×1025m-3之间的弱氧化晶体是合适的。     

Reliability of Speaking and Maximum Voice Range Measures in Screening for Dysphonia

Speech range profile (SRP) is a graphical display of frequency-intensity occurring interactions during functional speech activity. Few studies have suggested the potential clinical applications of SRP. However, these studies are limited to qualitative case comparisons and vocally healthy participants. The present study aimed to examine the effects of voice disorders on speaking and maximum voice ranges in a group of vocally untrained women. It also aimed to examine whether voice limit measures derived from SRP were as sensitive as those derived from voice range profile (VRP) in distinguishing dysphonic from healthy voices. Ninety dysphonic women with laryngeal pathologies and 35 women with normal voices, who served as controls, participated in this study. Each subject recorded a VRP for her physiological vocal limits. In addition, each subject read aloud the "North Wind and the Sun" passage to record SRP. All the recordings were captured and analyzed by Soundswell's computerized real-time phonetogram Phog 1.0 (Hitech Development AB, T?by, Sweden). The SRPs and the VRPs were compared between the two groups of subjects. Univariate analysis results demonstrated that individual SRP measures were less sensitive than the corresponding VRP measures in discriminating dysphonic from normal voices. However, stepwise logistic regression analyses revealed that the combination of only two SRP measures was almost as effective as a combination of three VRP measures in predicting the presence of dysphonia (overall prediction accuracy: 93.6% for SRP vs 96.0% for VRP). These results suggest that in a busy clinic where quick voice screening results are desirable, SRP can be an acceptable alternate procedure to VRP.

Highly sensitive digital optical sensor with large measurement range based on the dual-microring resonator with waveguide-coupled feedback

We propose a novel high-performance digital optical sensor based on the Mach-Zehnder interferential effect and the dual-microring resonators with the waveguide-coupled feedback. The simulation results show that the sensitivity of the sensor can be orders of magnitude higher than that of aconventional sensor, and high quality factor is not critical in it. Moreover, by optimizing the length of the feedback waveguide to be equal to the perimeter of the ring, the measurement range of the proposed sensor is twice as much as that of the conventional sensor in the weak coupling case.     

Comment on “On the Anomalon Interpretation of 40Ar + Cu Collisions at 0.9 and 1.8 AGeV”

A recent article interpreted the experiment by Dersch et al. on the formation of ²⁴Na in ⁴⁰Ar + Cu interactions in a very simple manner. The results from emulsion experiments performed with 3.6 AGeV ²²Ne were adapted for the interpretation of the experiments with 1.8 AGeV ⁴⁰Ar. The model used the same mean value for the energy of minimum ionizing protons and pions at all angles. It is argued that a more complex approach is needed for a satisfactory interpretation.
