There are emission peaks centered at 3.18eV （ultraviolet,UV） and 2.38eV （green） in these sampies. Comparing the Raman spectra and the variation of the PL peak intensities with annealing atmosphere, we conclude that the luminescence of the samples is related to the tensile strain in the ZnO film due to the lattice mismatch between the film and the substrate. In particular, the tensile strain reduces the formation energy of OZn antisite oxygen defects,which generate the green emission center. After annealing in oxygen-rich atmosphere, many OZn defects are generated. Thus, the intensity of green emission in ZnO/Si hetero-structure materials increases due to tensile strain in ZnO films.展开更多

A 3（syntax）×2（semantic relation） factorial design is adopted, with syntax and semantic relations as within-participant variables. The experiment finds that the semantic mismatch is most likely to increase cognitive loads as people have to spend more time, including first-pass time, regression path duration, and total fixation duration. Double negation does not significantly increase the processing difficulty of pictures and information. Experimental results show that people can extract the special syntactic strategy from long-term memory to process pictures and sentences with different semantic relations. It enables readers to comprehend double negation as affirmation. These results demonstrate that the constituent comparison model may not be a general model regarding other languages.展开更多

Because of the coupling between surface channel and SOFAR channel, sound propagation in the two-axis underwater channel is complex and so its calculations of acoustic fields are difficult. The beam-displacement ray-mode （BDRM） theory is a normal mode method for propagation modeling in the common horizontally stratified shallow water. We improve the theory, proposing a new method for computing the upper boundary reflection coefficient, and apply it to calculate the acoustic fields of two-axis underwater channel. Transmission losses in the two-axis underwater channel are calculated by the BDRM theory. The results are in good agreement with the KRAKEN code and the computational speed excels those of the other methods.展开更多

Host genes can also be silenced as a consequence of the presence of a homologous transgene. More and more investigations have demonstrated that double- stranded RNA can silence genes by triggering degradation of homologous RNA in the cytoplasm and by directing methylation of homologous nuclear DNA sequences. Analyses of Arabidopsis mutants and plant viral suppressors of silencing are unraveling RNA-silencing mechanisms and are assessing the role of methy- lation in transcriptional and posttranscriptional gene silencing. This review will focus on double-stranded RNA mediated mRNA degradation and gene inactivation in plants.展开更多

We model the self-interference signals specifically with only the nonlinear distortion signals falling in receiving band considered. A joint estimation algorithm is proposed for compensating the time delay and frequency offset taking into account the IQ amplitude and phase imbalances from mixers. The memory effect and nonlinear distortion are adaptively estimated by the de-correlated normalized least mean square(DNLMS) algorithm. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the proposed self-interference cancellation scheme can efficiently compensate the self-interference and outperform the existing traditional solutions.展开更多

The pressure field on the casing wall and the velocity fields at the rotor inlet and outlet were measured under rotating stall condition with a fast response pressure transducer and a single slant hot-wire probe, respectively. The data were processed using the “Double Phase-Locked Averaging (DPLA)”technique, which enabled to obtain the unsteady flow field with a rotating stall cell in the relative co-ordinate system fixed to the rotor. As a result, the structure and behavior of the rotating stall cell in a high specific-speed diagonal flow fan were shown.展开更多

The low cost of medical services means that public hospitals can legitimately use the sale of pharmaceuticals to subsidize the provision of services. Moreover, the policy of controlling the rate of return gives public hospitals a further incentive to buy and sell high-cost pharmaceuticals. In addition, the policy of independent pricing together with the laxity of the system for approving new drugs allows the makers of pharmaceutical products to charge higher prices and facilitates public hospitals＇ sale of high-priced drugs. All of these problems result from inappropriate government controls. Therefore, the basic strategy for solving the problem of inflated pharmaceutical prices should be to lessen government controls on healthcare, open up retail sales of prescription medicines, and reform the public healthcare system and medical insurance reimbursement, breaking the monopoly of public hospitals.展开更多

This dual-fluid model was applied to the numerical simulations of wet steam flow in a 2D LAVAL nozzle and in the White cascade respectively. The results of two simulations demonstrate that the model is reliable. Meanwhile, the spontaneous condensing flow in White cascade was analyzed and it infers that the irreversible loss caused by condensation accounts for the largest share （about 8.78% of inlet total pressure） in total pressure loss while the loss caused by velocity slip takes the smallest share （nearly 0.42%）, and another part of total pressure loss caused by pneumatic factors contributes a less share than condensation, i.e. almost 3.95% of inlet total pressure.展开更多
