A generalized gamma distribution with application to drought data

Gamma distributions are some of the most popular models for hydrological processes. In this paper, a very flexible family which contains the gamma distribution as a particular case is introduced. Evidence of flexibility is shown by examining the shape of its probability density function (pdf). A treatment of the mathematical properties is provided by deriving expressions for the n th moment. Estimation and simulation issues are also considered. Finally, a detailed application to drought data from the State of Nebraska is illustrated.     

Differentiation between epigeic and hypogeic fauna in gravel streams

The ‘hyporheic zone’ is described. According to the classical definition, water below the sediment surface is groundwater and the hyporheic interstitial zone is part of the phreatic system. This ignores the vertical distribution of the epigeic benthic fauna. The uppermost layer of the sediment (bed sediments) of the hyporheic zone is dominated by epigeic faunal elements and is therefore part of the surface system. In contrast to hypogeic species, the depth penetration of epigeic species is limited. Possible explanations are discussed.     

Techniques for estimating test length under random test

When a circuit is tested using random or pseudorandom patterns, it is essential to determine the amount of time (test length) required to test it adequately. We present a methodology for predicting different statistics of random pattern test length. While earlier methods allowed estimation only of upper bounds of test length and only for exhaustive fault coverage, the technique presented here is capable of providing estimates of all statistics of interest (including expected value and variance) for all coverage specifications.Our methodology is based on sampling models developed for fault coverage estimation [1]. Test length is viewed as awaiting time on fault coverage. Based on this relation we derive the distribution of test length as a function of fault coverage. Methods of approximating expected value and variance of test length are presented. Accuracy of these approximations can be controlled by the user. A practical technique for predicting expected test length is developed. This technique is based on clustering faults into equal detectability subsets. A simple and effective algorithm for fault clustering is also presented. The sampling model is applied to each cluster independently and the results are then aggregated to yield test lengths for the whole circuit. Results of experiments with several circuits (both ISCAS '85 benchmarks and other practical circuits) are also provided.This work was done while the author was with the Department of Electrical Engineering, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, IL 62901.     

储层横向相变对剩余油分布的影响

处在构造边部、低部位的商５－５井，在改注水井排液中发现不含水的高产这种非常规现象，由此引起对地质因素的分析。浅湖相沉积的主体是滩砂微相，它可细分为“滩脊”和“滩侧”，其中“滩脊”砂体的泥质含量低，孔隙度、渗透率都较高，而“滩侧”则泥质含量高，物性差。在从“滩脊”砂体向“滩侧”过渡时，极易形成类似于砂体尖灭的岩性封堵，造成剩余油富集，而“滩脊”不一定就在构造的高部位。陆相沉积的砂体非均质性很强，孔隙度和渗透率在横向上的变化很大，高部位的油层水淹，低部位的油层不一定就高含水，这是因为砂体横向上的非均质性，使同一时间单元沉积的砂体很可能不连通。基于这些分析，地质工作者不妨运用沉积微相的原理在构造的低部位或边部寻找剩余油富集区，商５－５井的现实给了我们很好的启示。     

Purification and Characterization of an Endoprotease from Melon Fruit

An endoprotease was purified from melon fruit (Cucumis melo L.) by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography using t-butyloxycarbonyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Leu p-nitroanilide as a substrate. The molecular weight was estimated as 26,000 and isoelectric point pH 9.5. It preferentially hydrolyzed peptide bonds of the carboxyl terminal sides of Leu, Ala, His, Gin, and Am. Activity was strongly inhibited by diisopropyl phosphofluoridate, indicating the serine protease nature of the enzyme. The migration distance on electrophoresis, molecular weight and substrate specificity differed from cucumisin, a known protease from melon. This unusual protease may have potential for special food treatment applications.     

高层印制线路板正面临的对位挑战

封装工业正在推动着印制线路板技术水平朝着半导体要求的方向发展。高密度印制线路板正广泛用于网络路由器、自动测试设备和服务器领域。高密度要求(>150 IO/cm~2)正成为客户的普通需求。为满足现有的高密度封装要求,由于线宽、线距和通孔孔径正接近传统制作极限,普遍的方法就是不断增加印制线路板的层数。这些特征正驱动着印制线路板在基材、图像转移、蚀刻、电镀、阻焊、测试流程和对位系统的变化。此文主要讲述了印制线路板特性的变化趋势和利用对位模式和雷利分布去预测满足高级对位要求的能力以及印制线路板各流程中有关对准度的控制要点。

川东北三叠系飞仙关组鲕滩气藏有利储集层的形成与分布

川东北地区三叠系飞仙关组鲕滩气藏是近年四川盆地碳酸盐岩天然气勘探取得重大突破的领域，目前在中国石油探区内已发现罗家寨、渡口河、铁山坡等大中型气藏。对鲕滩气藏白云岩储集层进行岩心观察、显微薄片分析，并进行微量元素、流体包裹体、X衍射、阴极发光及电子探针等分析，结果表明，白云岩化和多期溶蚀是形成优质白云岩储集层的关键因素，混合云化与埋藏云化的叠加作用是形成孔隙性白云岩储集层的基本条件。飞仙关组鲕滩气藏储集层经历了4期溶蚀作用，即同生期溶蚀作用、浅埋期溶蚀作用、深埋期溶蚀作用和抬升期溶蚀作用，形成优质白云岩储集层的主要溶蚀作用是浅埋期和深埋期的溶蚀作用。优质白云岩储集层主要分布在台缘鲕粒滩相带，纵向与亮晶鲕粒灰岩呈韵律性互层，横向主要分布在鲕粒滩坝靠近漏湖-潮坪一侧。
