After clarifying the operational definition and assessment criteria of crimes of passion, an assessment checklist for incarcerated individuals, “Crimes Due to Passionate Impulse Other-report Checklist”, was developed and its reliability and validity were tested. Sample 1 involved 40 prison guards assessing 15 typical violent dossiers, exploring the checklist’s accuracy, factor structure, and internal consistency. Sample 2 comprised 14 prison guards evaluating 275 offender dossiers, using the UPPS Impulsivity Scale as a benchmark to measure corresponding inmates, examining the checklist’s convergent validity, threshold determination, test-retest reliability, and evaluator reliability. Results indicated that scores for the crimes of passion group were higher than the control group. Exploratory factor analysis supported a single-factor model. The scale demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency, evaluator reliability, and test-retest reliability, meeting psychometric standards. It also showed good convergent and discriminant validity. With robust assessment capabilities, the checklist’s threshold was determined to be 10.5 via ROC (receiver operating characterisitic) curve analysis, positioning it an effective tool for screening inmates committing crimes of passion.

Spores of 36 genera, 56 species and some indeterminate species are recognized from 8 layers of Wutong Formation at Jianchuan Section, Xinhang County, Guangde City, Anhui Province. A spore assemblage can be established, that is Apiculiretusispora hunanensis-Cymbosporites chinensis (HC) Assemblage. By comparing the main components of HC Assemblage with spore assemblages in South China, Tibet of China and Western Europe, HC Assemblage is assigned to the late Famennian of the Late Devonian and corresponds to the strata except the uppermost part of the Leigutai Member of the Wutong Formation. The overall characteristics of HC Assemblage are close to contemporaneous assemblages of South China but different from those of Tibet of China and Western Europe.

HE Keyi, SHEN Yawen, FENG Jiguang, HAN Mengguang, ZHOU Yiqi, ZHU Biao
Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis    2021, 57 (2): 361-370.   DOI: 10.13209/j.0479-8023.2021.010

Six treatments (control (CK), litter removal (?L), litter addition (+L), root removal (?R), litter and root removal (?R?L), litter addition and root removal (?R+L)) were conducted in a Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica plantation in Saihanba, Hebei Province. Based on the results of the first growing season (May–September 2019) after the treatments, we aimed to evaluate the effects of different plant detritus input on soil respiration and its temperature sensitivity. The results show that: 1) soil respiration rate exhibited significant seasonal dynamics, with peak value in July–August and minimum value in late September. The average soil respiration rates of control, litter removal, litter addition, root removal, litter and root removal, litter addition and root removal treatments were (mean±SE) 2.20±0.17, 1.24±0.09, 2.40±0.07, 2.05±0.11, 1.04±0.07 and 2.28±0.17 μmol/(m2·s) respectively. Compared to the CK, ?L and ?R?L significantly reduced soil respiration rate by 43.6% and 52.7%, respectively; 2) soil respiration in the growing season was significantly and exponentially correlated with soil temperature (p<0.01) among different treatments. The temperature sensitivity of soil respiration (Q10 values) were 2.32±0.13, 2.37±0.05, 2.41±0.09, 2.42±0.14, 2.09±0.08 and 2.87±0.11, respectively. Aboveground litter treatment had significant effects on both average rate and Q10 value of soil respiration (p<0.05), while belowground root treatment did not (p>0.05); 3) compared to CK, soil moisture was significantly higher in all root removal treatments (?R, ?R?L, ?R+L) likely due to the lack of water uptake by roots, but soil temperature did not change significantly. In most treatments (except ?R and ?R+L), soil respiration and soil moisture showed a significant parabolic relationship during the growing season, and the threshold of soil moisture was about 15% (v/v). In conclusion, the results showed that litter removal had significant effects on growing season soil respiration and its temperature sensitivity in the Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica plantation, but root removal had no significant effect in the first growing season after the manipulation.

LIAO Manqi, LAI Yong, ZHOU Yitao, SHU Qihai
Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis    2018, 54 (4): 763-780.   DOI: 10.13209/j.0479-8023.2018.007

In order to study the age, geochemical characteristics and tectonic genesis of the ore-bearing intrusions of Dasuji porphyry Mo deposit, three kinds of rock samples of quartz porphyry, syenogranite and granite porphyry that are related to molybdenum mineralization were collected from the deposit. Zircon U-Pb dating reveals that the ages of quartz porphyry, granite porphyry and syenogranite are 231, 227 and 225 Ma, respectively. Characteristics of major and trace elements indicate that they belong to high-K calc-alkaline to shoshonite series and highly fractionated I-type granite. Geochemistry of the rock associations, integrated with regional geology indicate that Dasuji area was in extension during Indosinian. The upwelling of asthenosphere triggered partial melting of crust in a wide range of depth. Magma related to this deposit was generated in this process. During ascending, the magma extracted ore elements from protore which had collected ore elements in the pre-Mesozoic during multiple geological activities and the magma became more enriched in Mo due to the extensive crystal fractionation. When volatiles in magma were supersaturated, ore-forming fluid was separated from melt with Mo. Ore minerals were mainly precipitated with quartz and filled in the fractures during the boiling process.

Utilizing land cover change (LCC) information together with MODIS land surface temperature in Jing-Jin-Ji area in 2000, 2005 and 2010, spatiotemporal difference of urban heat island (UHI) effects and the factors influenced UHI is explored. Results reveal that the seasonal fluctuations of daytime UHI is bigger than that of nighttime UHI. More than 92.8% of the urban have UHI in the nighttime every season. The strongest daytime UHI happens in summer, but more than 85% of the cities have urban cooling effect in winter. The nighttime UHI in different seasons appear to be similar. The water in urban has different influence to UHI in daytime and nighttime which is to weaken the UHI and to enhance the UHI. The grass in urban enhance the UHI in the daytime of spring and summer and in the nighttime of all seasons but weaken the UHI in the daytime of winter. The forest and the crop land in the urban have the same effect which are weaken the UHI in the daytime of spring, summer and autumn and in the nighttime of all seasons but enhance the UHI in the daytime of winter.

This paper focuses on the influence external economies of scale brought by industrial agglomeration and internal economies of scale brought by industrial organization have on pollution emission intensity. This research takes SO2, soot, polluted water as the examples and two digits manufacturing industrial divisions as the research subjects. Through spatial distribution analysis and penal data econometric analysis during the time from 2005 to 2009, the authors find that the relationship between gini and pollution intensity is positive, state owned and group owned enterprises ratios are negative related to pollution intensity of SO2 and soot, while private and foreign investment enterprises ratios are positive related to pollution intensity. The result shows that industrial pollution is influenced by the trend of marketization, which suggests that the authority may improve the environmental regulations systems and the supervision power, and local government should improve the pollution dissolving facilities’ effectiveness and pollution control efforts within industrial clusters.

The aerosol optical parameters derived from satellite remote sensing and the related surface PM10 mass concentration data in 2011?2012 over Suzhou and Wuxi Cities were used to assess the location selection of one background monitoring station to be built. The results showed that satellite remote sensing products with 10 km, 5 km and 2 km space average were all significantly correlated to the hourly PM10 concentration. Showing in the annual average regional distribution of satellite remote sensing results, the annual average PM10 mass concentration over the Xishan (the site to be built in Suzhou) will be significantly lower than those over the urban stations in the magnitude up to 14%. Statistical analysis based on an objective weather classification technique showed that the mean concentration of particulate matter over Xishan were lower than that of urban stations in the amplitude range of 7%?21% in various weather patterns. The smaller (7%?9%) concentration difference between the urban stations and the Xishan station could be found at two types of weather conditions, when there were a regional heavy pollution or a regional clean air quality, respectively.

Abstract632)      PDF(pc) (3937KB)(348)       Save
Base on traditional integrated circuit (IC) low power methods, the authors propose three low power technologies for further research and take an implementation of WSN sensor node as an example. At system level, the authors present an optimum scheme combined with compiling technology and a hardware structure which provides special low power modes for WSN. At circuit level, considering clock placement in arithmetic mapping phase, clock operators in collaboration with IC operator design methodology (ODM) is proposed. A low power design of WSN sensor node is implemented to verify the low power technologies presented above. The testing results show that WSN sensor node consumes 167 μW at chip level and PCB system 1.035 mW at PCB system level in deep sleep mode by the three methods.

The MPL observation data in Beijing is used to develop two new algorithms which will not need to refer to the low SNR signal in high altitude. In the first algorithm, the boundary in mixing layer is chosen in the Fernald’s theory. Then the lidar constant can be retrieved by combining AOD. Compared with the data from the automatic meteorological station locates in the same place, this algorithm seems viable for lidar’s extinction coefficient retrieval. In the second algorithm, since the range corrected lidar data near the surface is linear relate to the surface extinction coefficient, the visibility data in the surface could be used to calculate the lidar constant. The result of the lidar constant and the average extinction-to-backscatter ratio during the experiment period are similar to the first algorithm. In these two algorithms, the lidar constant is retrieved without using the high altitude signal. In the end, the lidar observation of a classic aerosol case when a Siberian High passes through Beijing is analyzed. By comparing the lidar observation with the Nanjiao Observation Station data, the lidar retrieval and the new algorithm are considered to be reliable.

Modeling the Urbanization Process of China by Using Nonlinear Dynamic Equations
CHEN Yanguang,ZHOU Yixing
Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis   
Abstract745)            Save
A model based on nonlinear dynamics is proposed to characterize the urbanization process of China. Then a universal model of urbanization process is presented by combining the above mentioned model with the United Notions' model, which can be used to describe the United States' urbanization process. The time series data of urbanization level in China from 1949 to 2000 is employed to verify the new model, and the result is satisfying. The model bears an analogy with the Lotka-Volterra model of predator prey ecological interaction, one of the most widely discussed examples of a non linear system in two dimensions. The difference lies in that one of the parameters is zero. Extensions of such models should help us understand Holland's question: why predator prey ecological interaction exhibit strong oscillations, whereas the interactions that form a city are typically more stable.

Multifractal Measures of City-size Distributions Based on the Three-Parameter Zipf Law: Mathematical Frameworks and Empirical Evidence
CHEN Yanguang,ZHOU Yixing
Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis   
Abstract833)            Save
Urban hierarchy as a result of some fractal recursion is generalized to the binomia l multiplicative process and accordingly city-size distributions can be describ ed by multifractal measures. Based on the generalized Beckmann-Davis model advan ced by the authors Pm=P1rp1-mfm=f1fm-1,where rf=fm+1/fm denotes number ratio of cities in the mth and (m+1)th level of central-place hierarchies, the spectrum of fractal dimensions Dq as a function of the moment order q of city class-size relationships is expressed asDq=pq+(1-p)q]/[(1-q)lnrf],where p=P(2)/[P(2)+P(3)],(P(2) is the population of rank 2,etc.), thus the mass exponent can be given by the formula, τ(q)=(1-q)Dq. By means of the Legendre transformation, the Lipschitz-Holder exponent α(q) for the mass can be derived as α(q)=[pqlnp+(1-p)qln(1-p)]/{[pq+(1-p)q]ln(1/rf)}, correspondingly, the fractal dimension of the set supporting this exponent will yield through the equation f(α)=(q)+τ(q). An empirical analysis is made with the population data of the US cities to verify the theory and models developed in this paper, which will contribute to reconcile the apparent difference between the hierarchical step-like frequency distribution of city sizes suggested by central place theory and the smooth curve reflected by the work on the rank-size rule.

Abstract706)            Save
The model of allometric growth relationships between urban area and population, A=aPb, can be rewrited as A(t)=a1P(t)b1 for cities as systems, or as A(k)=a2P(k)b2for systems of cities, where A is the land area, P is the population size, a is the proportionality coefficient, b is the scaling factor, t is the time (year), and k is the rank of city k. It was proved that the parameter b has fractal dimension nature and can be expressed as b=Da/Dp, where Da is the generalized dimension of urban area,and Dp,the dimension of urban population. With fractal theory related the hierarchical structure of urban systems and the dynamics of urbanization can be analysed. On the other hand,by defining As=∑A(k),Ps=∑P(k), it is easy to have a new model As(t)=a3Ps(t)b3, so once obtaining RS data of A(k), the value of Ps in year t can be calculated. Going a step further, it is possible to analyse cities and systems of cities and predict the course of regional urbanization by means of integrating the allometric growth models and the RS data into geographical information systems. Allometric analyses of the urban system of Henan, China, are made as examples to show how to use the models advanced in the paper.

A Study of Multifractal Measures of the Spatial Structure of the Urban System in Central Plains
CHEN Yanguang,ZHOU Yixing
Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis   
Abstract591)            Save
The study is made of the spatial structure of the systems of cities and towns in Central Plains, mainly including North Henan, China, using the theory of multifractals. By means of the box counting method and μ-weight formulae, we calculate the values of the Lipschitz-Hölder exponent α(q), the fractal dimension of the support of singularities f(α), the sequence of mass exponent τ(q), and the dimensions of fractal measures Dq of the urban systems in the studied area. The resultant values show that there is a scaling breakdown in the f(α) curve as well as the spectrum of fractal dimensions Dq when the moment order q≈-1, where qc=-1 perhaps is a critical value for q, i.e., the multifractals come on well when q∈[0, ∞], as for q≤-1, the multifractal measures are abnormal (dysplasia or hypolasia): the f(α) curve and the Dq function cannot converge, which maybe implies a sort of phase transition from a rural to urban settlement system during the course of regional urbanization. This research demonstrates that the spatial structure of urban systems can be characterized with multifractal geometry, and moreover, wavelet transformation can be used to analyse the multifractal structure of urban systems.

Abstract948)            Save
The bulb scales of Lilium were used as explants and cultured on MS basic medium supplemented with 1 mg/L IBA and 0.5 mg/L 6-BA to build up an experimental system for studying organogenesis in vitro. At about the 10th day of culturing, bulblets grew out from adaxial surfaces of the bulb-scales. The induction rate was 100%. Specimens were taken everyday since the 1st day of culturing for cytohistological observations and the extractions of proteins. The extracts analysed by isoelectrofocusing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (IEF-PAGE). The results were as follows: The amount of total protein kept stable in the first two days and decreased to the lowest at the fifth day of culture, and then increased, but decreased again from the seventh day. There were changes of proteins with pI between 6.2 and 6.6. Both the composition and the amount of each component changed. During the culture of Lilium bulb scales in vitro, both the activity of peroxidase isozymes and the kinds of peroxidase isozymes increased gradually. Four distinct bands appeared in the cathode zone. The amounts of esterase isozymes with pI4.6~5.9 and 6.6~8.2increased. The amount and the activity of amylase isozymes also increased gradually. These results suggested that a further investigation using this system could lead to a better understanding of the isozyme changes in organogenesis.
