Category Norms as a Function of Culture and Age: Comparisons of Item Responses to 105 Categories by American and Chinese Adults.

Understanding how aging influences cognition across different cultures has been hindered by a lack of standardized, cross-referenced verbal stimuli. This study introduces a database of such item-level stimuli for both younger and older adults, in China and the United States, and makes 3 distinct contributions. First, the authors specify which item categories generalize across age and/or cultural groups, rigorously quantifying differences among them. Second, they introduce novel, powerful methods to measure between-group differences in freely generated ranked data, the rank-ordered logit model and Hellinger Affinity. Finally, a broad archive of tested, cross-linguistic stimuli is now freely available to researchers: data, similarity measures, and all stimulus materials for 105 categories and 4 culture-by-age groups, comprising over 10,000 fully translated unique item responses.

Polarity control of GaN epilayers grown on ZnO templates

We report the successful growth of Ga-polar GaN epilayers on O-polar ZnO templates pre-deposited on c-sapphire. Prior to GaN growth, NH₃ is exposed onto the ZnO template. The polarity of the GaN layers is confirmed by etching of the surface and by conversion beam electron diffraction (CBED), while the O-polar ZnO is confirmed by CBED. It is suggested that the NH₃ pre-exposure helps form a Zn₃N₂ layer, which possesses inversion symmetry and inverts the crystal from anion polar to cation polar.

Programmable group-delay module using binary polarization switching

We demonstrate the first programmable group-delay module based on polarization switching. With a unique binary tuning mechanism, the device can generate any differential group delay value from -45 to +45 ps with a resolution of 1.40 ps, or any true-time-delay value from 0 to 45 ps with a resolution of 0.7 ps. The delay varying speeds for both applications are under 1 ms and can be as fast as 0.1 ms. We evaluate both the dynamic and static performances of the device while paying special attention to its dynamic figures of merit for polarization-mode dispersion emulation and compensation applications. Our experiment shows that the device exhibits a negligible transient-effect induced power penalty (<0.2 dB) in a 10-Gb/s nonreturn-to-zero system.     

Ultrastructure of the spermatozoa and eggs of the ocean pout (Macrozoarces americanus L.), an internally fertilizing marine fish

Ultrastructure of sperm and eggs of the ocean pout (Macrozoarces americanus L.), an internally fertilizing marine teleost, was examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that the sperm do not have an acrosome but have a very long mid-piece (one to two times the sperm head length) containing numerous well-developed elongated mitochondria. The sperm also have two tails (is biflagellate) each consisting of nine peripheral and one central pair (9 +/- 2) of microtubules. This long mid-piece and the biflagellate nature of the sperm appear to be associated with the long life-span of the sperm and with sperm dispersal in the ovary to fertilize the eggs internally. The ocean pout eggs are enveloped by a porous chorionic membrane similar to that found in other teleosts but have two micropyles, a condition likely related to a mechanism of egg fertilization which increases the egg fertility in the presence of low sperm numbers. Following insemination, some biochemically undefined excretions appeared on the surface of fertilized eggs and led to the acquisition of adherent capability of the eggs which formed a tightly associated egg mass in sea water.     

Calculation of Ultraslow Dielectric Relaxation of Doped BaTiO3 Ceramics

Using a linear voltage ramp method, ultraslow dielectric relaxation processes of La-doped BaTiO₃ boundary layer (BL) capacitors are measured at room temperature. For the electric polarization model of a double-layer dielectric, a procedure to calculate the electrical parameters of grain and grain boundary has been developed. Calculated results suggest that there is a shell on the surface of the grain. TEM images of the BL capacitor also show a lot of microregions with minor structural modifications. Relaxation times are estimated from the equivalent circuit and are in agreement with fitted results.     

Foundations'' impact on policy making: results from a pilot study

Thirty-two consecutive patients with haematological disorders, in need of a permanent central venous catheter (CVC) were randomly allocated to have their CVC bandages (Tegaderm) changed once (OAW, n = 20) or twice (TAW, n = 19) a week. The two randomization arms were balanced in respect of age, sex, and underlying disease. The exit site of the CVC was inspected daily through the transparent bandage and erythema was noted. If severe erythema occurred, daily wet gauze dressings were applied. Samples for bacterial cultures were taken from the exit site of the CVC at every change of bandages. There was no difference in complications leading to removal of the CVC between the two groups (7/20 OAW vs. 7/19 TAW) or in CVC survival-time (P = 0.4). However, the OAW group had more positive CVC tip cultures (OAW 11/14 vs. TAW 2/9; P < 0.05) and a tendency to: (i) more extra dressings (P = 0.08); (ii) more cultures from the exit skin site showing high numbers of colony forming units (P = 0.07); (iii) shorter time to first exit site infection (P = 0.09); and (iv) more Gram-positive septicaemias (P = 0.08). Both clinical and bacteriological data in this study indicate that changing transparent polyurethane CVC bandages twice a week is superior to once a week.     

分割电极片状压电致动器——(二)位移特性及狭缝宽度对其影响的实验研究

研究了悬臂梁式分割电极片状压电致动器的位移特性。理论分析表明，分割电极狭缝宽度会减小致动器自由端的位移输出，但当狭缝宽度小于致动器电极宽度的１０％时，可忽略狭缝宽度的影响。致动器端部位移的测试结果大于理论计算值。与现有磁头悬浮臂尺寸相近的致动器，在２０Ｖ～５０Ｖ的电压驱动下均可获得１μｍ～２μｍ的致动位移。对９８５０道／厘米的密度磁盘，该位移能覆盖至少一个磁道宽度，满足磁头定位两级伺服系统对第二级致动器位移的基本要求。
