稀土对小麦（Triticum aestivum）体内光合和呼吸速率及磷酸化功能的影响

以适当浓度稀土溶液处理小麦后，其光合和氧化磷酸化的磷氧比（Ｐ／Ｏ）、光合控制（Ｐｃ）、呼吸控制（ＲＣ）、状态３．４光合和呼吸速率（Ｓ３．Ｓ４）与对照样比均无显著性差异。状态２（Ｓ２）光合和呼吸速率提高，差异极显著。说明小麦用最适浓度稀土处理后，对其光合和呼吸的磷酸化机构和功能膜影响不大，但显著促进了光合和呼吸速率（Ｓ２），从而促进了电子传递链的活性，使ＡＴＰ形成量增加。     

Optimal control of infinite-dimensional uncertain systems

In this paper, we consider a minimax problem of optimal control for a class of strongly nonlinear uncertain evolution equations on a Banach space. We prove the existence of optimal controls. A nontrivial example of a class of systems governed by a nonlinear partial differential equation with uncertain spatial parameters is presented for illustration.This work was supported in part by the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada under Grant No. A7109 and The Engineering Faculty Development Fund, University of Ottawa.The authors would like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their valuable comments and suggestions.     

Impulse capture basins of sets under impulse control systems

Given a target contained in a constrained set and an impulse control system governing the evolutions of runs or executions, that are hybrids of continuous and discrete evolutions, this paper studies and provides several characterizations of the capture basin of the target viable in the constrained set. It is the subset of initial runs from which start at least one run viable in the constrained set until it reaches the target in finite time. It also provides algorithms and regulation rules governing the runs that reach the targets while obeying state constraints.     

Aberration correction and its automatic control in scanning electron microscopes

An automatic aberration correction method has been implemented in scanning electron microscopes (SEM). Necessity of the automatic aberration correction is discussed. The procedure of the automatic aberration correction is explained in detail, where deconvolution techniques are used in order to extract probe information from SEM images. Due to the precise digitization and the usage of proper combinations of correction fields, linearity has been found between the amplitude of each aberration and the corresponding field strength. Experimental results are shown which demonstrate that the aberrations are corrected automatically by a linear feedback control method. After the automatic aberration correction, the image quality has been improved drastically.

Control and scheduling in a two-station queueing network: Optimal policies and heuristics

Consider a two-station queueing network with two types of jobs: type 1 jobs visit station 1 only, while type 2 jobs visit both stations in sequence. Each station has a single server. Arrival and service processes are modeled as counting processes with controllable stochastic intensities. The problem is to control the arrival and service processes, and in particular to schedule the server in station 1 among the two job types, in order to minimize a discounted cost function over an infinite time horizon. Using a stochastic intensity control approach, we establish the optimality of a specific stationary policy, and show that its value function satisfies certain properties, which lead to a switching-curve structure. We further classify the problem into six parametric cases. Based on the structural properties of the stationary policy, we establish the optimality of some simple priority rules for three of the six cases, and develop heuristic policies for the other three cases.     

Effects of pollution restrictions on dynamic investment policy of a firm

The purpose of this paper is to determine the effects of different pollution standards on the firm's resource allocation decisions. To do so, a dynamic model of the firm is developed in which it is assumed that production causes pollution as an inevitable byproduct. Concerning its investment policy, we suppose that the firm can choose between investing in productive capital goods and investing in abatement efforts.It is shown that, in some cases, future abatement expenses have a negative impact on the present level of productive investment, even if the pollution standard is not binding at the moment. This implies a really dynamic optimal investment policy for the firm, which cannot be obtained within a comparative static analysis.This research has been made possible by a fellowship of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.

A note on the calculation of strain histories in orthogonal streamline coordinate systems

An extension of a previous work concerning the calculation of strain histories along streamlines is made to get more complete and useful expressions of Finger's strain tensor in a cylindrical (or Cartesian) coordinate system as well as in an orthogonal streamline coordinate system. One of the results shows that Winter's tracking model is correct.Relations among the recent three results of Winter, Adachi and Crochet et al. are presented clearly. Moreover useful applications of Frenet-Serret's formula to the study of the deformation and flow kinematics along streamlines are shown in comparison with the ordinary tensor approach.     

Control of a class of underactuated mechanical systems

In this paper a new control methodology for underactuated mechanical systems is proposed. The basic idea of this method is to combine passive velocity field control with decoupling vector field. In order that the underactuated mechanical systems can be stabilized at the desired position after settling on the desired velocity vector field, novel control strategies are proposed. Proposed control strategies are applied to the underactuated planar three-link manipulator and underactuated planar body. Simulations demonstrate the usefulness and effectiveness of the proposed control methodology.
