To better understand the variation properties of marine aerosol during transport, single particle aerosol mass spectrometer (SPAMS) was applied for the first time during a comprehensive ocean experiment over the South Yellow Sea in November 2012. Two parallel sections influenced by marine air masses with constant wind direction from ocean to land (Section 1), and continental air masses with constant wind direction from land to ocean (Section 2), respectively, were selected to study the variation of chemical characteristics of marine aerosol. The results showed that the average particle count in Section 2 was around 3.5 times higher than that in Section 1, which might be ascribed to the influence of continental air masses, accompanied with high wind speed in Section 2. Particle counts of major components (SO42-, NO3-, NH4+, OC and EC) containing particles in Section 1 and Section 2 (excluding NO3-) gradually decreased by 58%-74% and 34%-53%, and the reductions in Section 1 were greater than that in Section 2. Secondary aerosol contributed to the highest fraction (42%) of the total particles in Section 2, while sea-salt aerosol contributed to the highest (>30%) in Section 1. The contribution of secondary and other anthropogenic aerosols (including biomass burning, Soot-like and Pb-containing aerosols) in both sections were significant. It indicated that the contribution of anthropogenic air pollutants to marine aerosol could not be ignored over the South Yellow Sea.

A Dynamical Glyph Generation Method of Xiangxi Folk Hmong Characters and Its Implementation Approach
MO Liping, ZHOU Kaiqing
Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis    2016, 52 (1): 141-147.   DOI: 10.13209/j.0479-8023.2016.019

To effectively solve the glyph generation and glyph description problem, a dynamical glyph generation method of Xiangxi folk Hmong characters is proposed. According to this method, the glyph generation process can be described as a combination arithmetic expression. Hmong characters component acts as the operand, and the location relationship between the components decides the operator. Glyphs in different structure can be dynamically generated by combination of two or three components. Further, if combination arithmetic expression is converted to ideographic description sequence (IDS), the proposed method can be implemented with the help of the IDS explain mechanism of operation system. Test results illustrate that, the Xiangxi Hmong characters glyph, which generated by the mapping script based on the proposed method, can meet practical requirements.

A Selectional Preference Based Translation Model for SMT
TANG Haiqing, XIONG Deyi
Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis    2016, 52 (1): 127-133.   DOI: 10.13209/j.0479-8023.2016.013

The limited semantic knowledge is used in the phrase-based statistical machine translation (SMT), which causes that the translation quality of long-distance verb and its object is low. A selectional preference based translation model is proposed, which inducts the semantic constraints that a verb imposes on its object to select the proper argument-head word for the predicate with long distance. The authors train the corpus to obtain the conditional probability based selectional preferences for verb, and integrate the selectional preferences into a phrase-based translation system and evaluate on a Chinese-to-English translation task with large-scale training data. Experiment results show that the integration of selectional preference into SMT can effectively capture the long-distance semantic dependencies and improve the translation quality.

The Chinese version of the Emotional Intelligence Scale was revised. The questionnaire was administrated to two samples with a total of 920 undergraduates. Item analysis show that all of the 33 items meet psychometric criteria. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis indicates that the Chinese version of Emotional Intelligence Scale is composed of four dimensions(CMIN/DF=2.19,CFI=0.90,GFI=0.93,AGFI=0.90,RMSEA=0.05).It is different from the one-factor structure and the four factor structure, which are reported in previous studies using samples in the West. The internal consistency reliability of the scale was 0.85. Further analysis reveals that there are no gender differences. The convergent validity and criterion-related validity are satisfactory. The revised Chinese version of the Emotional Intelligence Scale has good psychometric quality and can be applied in related psychological research areas.

Study on Green Space Gradient Analysis and Adaptive Management in Beijing
SUN Haiqing,XU Xuegong

Abstract547)            Save
Taking Beijing region as a case study, changes of green-space patterns are tracked by analyzing the data of land use. Green-space is very important to planning overall nature and human being in the development of cities. Applying spatial analytical methods of GIS, the green-space information is picked up from the map of land use survey in 1996 and 2004. Basing on gradient analysis of sample zones and buffers, the character of changes of green-space patterns and its influence factors are found that green-space in the suburb changed the most observably and the decreasing areas were mostly along the roads. Because of the difficulty of uncertainty of change and decision-making, the adaptive management countermeasures should be introduced, including renovating development ideas and planning scientifically in order to ease up the drastic competition between different land uses in Beijing.

Abstract694)            Save
By using a sample of 397 university undergraduates, the present study examines the relationship between emotional intelligence and career maturity. By conducting correlation and structural equation model analysis, the results reveal that, not only emotional intelligence and general self-efficacy have direct effect on career maturity, but emotional intelligence also has indirect effect on career maturity through general self-efficacy. General self-efficacy acts as a mediator between emotional intelligence and career maturity.

Abstract724)            Save
The Secondary structure of earthworm Calmodulin(CaM) in thin film was measured by using FT-IR spectroscopic method and curve fitting technique, and the effects of Ca2+ and Tb3+ were investigated in detail. The results show that CaM exhibits lower content of α-helix and relatively higher contents of β-sheet and beta-turn structure in film than that in crystal or water solution. To some extent, the addition of different ratios of Ca2+ and Tb3+ induced different conformation changes, which indicates that the two ions have different combination mechanisms. Moreover, the activity to stimulate the PDE enzyme and the SDS-PAGE behavior of CaM with different metal ions were also studied. The results show that Tb3+ can active CaM under low concentration, but inhibit the activity of CaM under high concentration, which suggests that Tb3+ have different physiology role from Ca2+.

Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis   
Abstract543)            Save
Both Calmodulin(CaM) and a Neo-Calcium Binding Protein(NCBP) were separated and purified from earthworm(Eisenia foetida) by phenyl-sepharose CL-4B hydrophobic chromatography and DEAE-F.F.ion exchange chromatography. Two proteins were shown to be homogeneous by SDS-PAGE, PAGE, and IEF. Molecular weight and pI of CaM and NCBP are 18.9 kD and 16kD, 3.6 and 4.3 respectively. Their peptide map is different. Both of thier N-terminus are Gly. C-terminus of CaM is Met. The electrophoretic mobility of earthworm CaM and NCBP effected by Ca2+ is similarly as that of the bovine brain CaM. Earthworm CaM can activate bovine heart cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, NCBP has similar properties too. The Phe/Tyrratio is 8∶1, while that of NCBP is 7∶2. We can observe thier characterstic UV absorption peaks. A Comparison between the properties of earthworm CaM and NCBP indicates that they are similar to each other.
