Three-dimensional visualization of mission planning and control forthe NPS autonomous underwater vehicle

The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) is constructing a small autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with an onboard mission control computer. The mission controller software for this vehicle is a knowledge-based artificial intelligence (AI) system requiring thorough analysis and testing before the AUV is operational. The manner in which rapid prototyping of this software has been demonstrated by developing a controller code on a LISP machine and using an Ethernet link with a graphics workstation to simulate the controller's environment is discussed. The development of a testing simulator using a knowledge engineering environment (KEE) expert system shell that examines AUV controller subsystems and vehicle models before integrating them with the full AUV for its test environment missions is discussed. This AUV simulator utilizes an interactive mission planning control console and is fully autonomous once initial parameters are selected     

中国海兔科的研究

海兔科(Aplysiidae)是一类有经济价值的后鳃软体动物。人们很早就了解了它的食用价值,许多地方的渔民都有食用这类动物的习惯,如南太平洋博腊博腊岛(Borabora I.)的居民常以Dolabella teremidi Rang作食品;社会群岛(Society Is.)和友爱羣岛(Friendly Is.)的居民喜爱生食海兔;在朝鲜也有熟食这类动物的习惯。 我国福建(厦门、东山)也有个别渔民捕食蓝斑背肛海兔Notarchus (Bursatella)leachii cirrosus Stimpson , 但如食用过多则易引起头痛、眼睛失明等,严重时,甚至引起死亡。海兔卵群的干制品俗称“海粉”,在日本俗称“海素面＂。除供食用外,据说还可做医药用。福建厦门渔民养殖蓝斑背肛海兔已有上百年的历史;广东沿海渔民近年来也养殖黑斑海兔Aplysia (Varria) kurodai (Baba)生产“海粉”,销售于国内外各地。 对于我国海兔科的种类以往仅有一些零星记载,据我们所掌握的文献统计,记载分布我国的种类有：朱仲嘉报告1种;李国藩报导1种;张玺报告1种;张玺、齐钟彦报告了4种;蔡英亚报导1种;Sowerby报告的2个新种;Stimpson报告1个新种; Pilsbry报导4种;高桥定卫(Takahashi)报告1种;马场菊太郎(Baba)报告5种;Eales报告5种。在上述文献中,李国藩的Aplysia kuropdei (Baba)是Aplysia (Varria) kurodai Baba之误,Takahashi的Aplysia punctata (Cuvier)是Aplysia ( Varria) kurodai Baba的同物异名。Baba的Aplysia hirasei (Baba)是Aplysia ( Varria) oculifera Adams & Reeve 的同物异名。Baba 的Aplysia sibogae Bergh是Aplysia (Aplysia) juliana Quoy & Gaimard 的同物异名。Stimpson 的Notarchus cirrosus Stimpson,朱仲嘉的Notarchus (Bursatella) leachii leachii Blainvelle var. freeri (Griffin),蔡英亚、张玺、齐钟彦等的Notarchus (Bursatella) leachii freeri(Griffin),都是Notarchus (Bursatella) leachii cirrosus Stimpson的同物异名。Sowerby的Aplysia orientalis是Aplysia (Pruvotaplysia) parvula M?rch的同物异名。总结上述情况,报告过分布在我国的海兔种类实有5属、9种和1亚种。     

Vegetation change and surface elevation dynamics in estuarine wetlands of southeast Australia

Vertical accretion and surface elevation trends were studied in mangrove and saltmarsh wetlands in southeast Australia. A total of 69 surface elevation tables, each associated with three feldspar marker horizons, was deployed in 10 wetlands across 7 estuaries, and monitored for three years. Saltmarsh and mangrove vegetation distributions were mapped for the same estuaries, and elevation characteristics of the wetlands were modelled. Rates of vertical accretion were found to correlate with tidal range. No relationship was found between rates of vertical accretion and surface elevation increase. A positive relationship was demonstrated between contemporary rates of saltmarsh surface elevation change and longer-term rates of mangrove encroachment into saltmarsh. We conclude that landward mangrove encroachment may be facilitated by local factors contributing to saltmarsh compaction during drought conditions.

The response of selected terrestrial organisms to the Martian environment: A modeling study

An energy balance model has been developed to investigate how the Martian atmospheric environment could influence a community of photosynthetic microorganisms with properties similar to those of a cyanophyte (blue-green algal mat) and a lichen. Surface moisture and soil nutrients are assumed to be available. The model was developed to approximate equatorial equinox conditions and includes parameters for solar and thermal radiation, convective and conductive energy transport, and evaporative cooling. Calculations include the diurnal variation of organism temperature and transpiration and photosynthetic rates. The influences of different wind speeds and organism size and resistivity are also studied. The temperature of organisms in mats less than a few millimeters thick will not differ from the ground temperature by more than 10°K. Water loss is actually retarded at higher wind speeds, since the organism temperature is lowered, thus reducing the saturation vapor pressure. Typical photosynthetic rates lead to the production of 10^?6 to 10^?7 mole O₂ cm^?2 day^?1.     

Evidence for inherited Sm−Nd isotopes in granitoid zircons

This study presents evidence to show that, in addition to preserving U–Pb isotope systematics, refractory zircons also preserve, at least in part, an inherited Sm–Nd isotope component. The zircons analyzed during this study were taken from the Strontian granitoid (NW Scotland). The inner intrusion of this composite pluton is known from a previous study to contain substantial U–Pb zircon inheritance, whereas the outer part has only minor inheritance. Zircons from the inner intrusion were found to have significantly lower Nd₄₂₅ values than either their host rock, separated apatite or monazite. It is argued that this isotopic disequilibrium is due to the presence of an inherited Sm–Nd isotope component, rather than being due to a post-crystallization disturbance of the zircons. The preservation of inherted Sm–Nd isotopes within refractory zircons implies that they remain closed systems with respect to the diffusion of Sm and Nd (and presumably the other REE) to temperatures in excess of 700°C. The fact that zircons commonly have high Sm/Nd ratios, relative to sialic crustal material, means that the Nd isotopic evolution of inherited zircons will be very different to that of much of the continental crust.     

Micro-spectroscopic investigations of highly heterogeneous waste repository materials

Assuring safe disposal and long-term storage of radioactive and toxic wastes corresponds to a primary environmental task of present societies. To improve any technical limitation, a mechanistic understanding of the processes governing the binding of heavy metals and radionuclides is required. In this study, the significance of synchrotron-based X-ray microprobes for elucidating the spatial distribution and the speciation of radionuclides in highly heterogeneous waste repository materials will be outlined. A case study on the uptake process of Co in cementitious engineered barrier materials exposed to microbial degradation will be presented.
