A technology for transmitting high power by laser beam over large distances using a quasi-coherent array of lasers is described. This technology achieves quasi-coherency by turning OFF selected laser elements, rather than trying to correct their phase as present technologies do. Such an array puts less power into a speci ed area in the far eld than a fully coherent array but gains two major advantages: (1) laser array elements are greatly simpli ed and less expensive and (2) array lifetime can be lengthened. The degree of coherency can be chosen. The greater the coherency, the greater is the lifetime of the array (for a speci ed power transmission requirement). More laser elements remain inactive. Also, by making array element selection a dynamic process, the technology can actively correct any phase changes induced in the array. The technology is analyzed, results of a computer experiment are presented, and a laboratory experiment for further development of the technology is proposed. For many years, NASA has studied the transmission of power by laser beam (refs. 1 and 2), with potential applications identi ed both in space and on Earth. Such applications require high power (up to megawatts) di raction limited laser systems. One method to obtain such systems is to assemble arrays of less powerful lasers which can be scaled to the laser power required. Arrays also lend themselves to building the large apertures required for transmission over large distances. The larger the transmission aperture is, the smaller the received laser spot size for a given range. Arrays have usually been described in terms of their ultimate power transmission capability (i.e., the maximum power that a coherent array could transmit into a speci ed area in the far eld). Coherent arrays transmit optical amplitudes that are in phase in space and time. Although coherent arrays are feasible, they are very di cult to obtain in practice. They require complex and expensive electro-optical components that are still challenged by the dynamics of a real system (i.e., heat distribution, alignment, mechanical stress). Thus, the questions arise: \Is the power transmission loss due to incomplete coherence worth the cost of obtaining complete coherence?" and \Are there other advantages of a partially coherent array?" These questions have led to an idea labeled \dynamic selection of emitting laser array elements." This idea represents a new approach to obtaining concentrated laser power in the far eld. In this approach, laser array elements are not \forced" to be perfect (coherent) but are simply turned OFF

科技文献选读课后问答题

2 Robots1. How has robot become the familiar figure in popular culture over the past century?Over the past century, robot has become the familiar figure in popular culture through books such as Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot, movies such as Star Wars and television shows such as Star Trek.2. What is the reason for the gap between real robots and their science-fiction counterparts according to the passage?One reason for this gap is that it has been much harder than expected to enable computers and robots to sense their surrounding environment and to react quickly and accurately.3. What was the goal of Bill Gate s’ visiting several leading universities about computer talks in 2004?His goal was to help students understand how exciting and important computer science can be, and he hoped to encourage a few of them to think about careers in technology.4. What are the two greatest fruits that Craig Mundie’s team has achieved?One is tackling the problem of concurrency, and the other is the development of the technology DSS (decentralized software services) which helps to simplify the writing of distributed robotic applications.5. In what fields will the future robots play their important part?The future robots will play an important role in providing physical assistance; in helping people with disabilities get around and extending the strength and endurance of soldiers, construction workers and medical professionals. Besides, robots will maintain dangerous industrial machines, handle hazardous materials and monitor remote oil pipelines. They will also enable health care workers to diagnose and treat patients who may be thousands of miles away, and they will he a central feature of security systems and search-and-rescue operations.5 Computer Technology1. Why professionals such as photographers, graphic designers, architects and those who often work in teams would welcome multi-touch computing?Because the multi-touch screen interface could improve collaboration without a mouse or keyboard, and it even could allow the commands of multiple hands from multiple people.2. What would Jeff Han’s future customers of this multi-touch technology be like?Jeff Han expects the multi-touch technology to find a home in graphically intense businesses such as energy trading and medical imaging.3. What was the toughest difficulty of multi-touch technology?The multi-touch technology's toughest hurdle is achieving fine-solution fingertip sensing. The solution required both hardware and software innovations.4. Which industries are more likely to apply Microsoft’s “Surface computer” technology?Microsoft is shipping Surface table computers to four partners in the leisure, retail and entertainment industries, which it believes arc most likely to apply the technology.5. According to the author, what is the great advantage of multi-touch technology?The great strength of multi-touch is letting multiple people work together on a complex activity.7 Climate Change1. What do studies of the Earth’s climate history involve?Studies of Earth's climate history involve any material that contains a record of past climate, for example, deep-ocean cores collected from sea-going research vessels, ice cores drilled by fossil-fuel machine power in the Antarctic or Greenland ice sheets or by hand or solar power in mountain glaciers: softsediment cores hand-driven into lake muds; hand-augered drills that extract thin wood cores from trees; coral samples drilled from tropical reefs.2. What are the four great revolutions contributing to the ongoing study of climate history?The four great revolutions are: in the 1700s James Hutton concluded that Earth is an ancient planet with a long history of gradually accumulated changes produced mainly by processes working at very slow rates; in 1859 Charles Darwin published his theory of natural selection; in 1912 Alfred Wegener proposed the concept of continental drift, which eventually led to the theory of plate tectonics; and the major advances in this field began in the late 1900s, continue today, and seem destined to go on for decades.3. According to the author, what is basalt and how can the basalt layers be dated?Basalt is the solid rock that is formed by the skeletal remains found in ancient lake sediments sandwiched between two layers of lava, and the basalt layers can be dated by the radioactive decay of key types of minerals enclosed within.4. Why does the author say that researches on climate and human history share similarity with crime solving? These research fields have much in common with the field of crime solving because both of them concentrate on the past.5. How does a hypothesis become recognized as a theory eventually?1 Monograph专著1. The general definition of a monographScientific treatises of book length but otherwise variable format prepared by acknowledged experts on specialized topics for the benefit of others who have specialized in. or who wish to obtain a specialist's appreciation of, these topics.2. The value of monographs for scientific researchesThe value of monographs lies in the coherence and comprehensiveness of the information and knowledge they contain, which is important to the specialized researchers to whom they are directed and, therefore, to the advancement of science and engineering generally.3. The qualities of the authors of monographsThe authors of monographs should have exceptional breadth and depth of knowledge, and must be able to collect, collate, analyze, integrate, and synthesize all relevant contributions to the archival literature of the scientific and engineering journals and to add original material as required.4. The differences between monographs and books of conference proceedingsMonographs generally are written by specialists for the benefit of other specialists. Textbooks are pedagogical works which, even if written on fairly narrow subjects, are designed to serve broader and more junior readerships than specialized research communities.5. The differences between monographs and books of conference proceedingsConference papers commonly take the form of premature announcements of new scientific discoveries. Conference proceedings generally have a short shelf life.6. The main components of a monographThe author, title and subtitle, date of publication, dust cover or blurb, content pages, bibliography and index, illustrations, preface and introduction.7. An indication of the book’s successThe number of editions is an indication of the boo k’s success.8. The function of the blurbIt gives the reader a rapid overview of the contents and approach. It might also say what the book contains and for whom it is written.2 Academic Journal学术期刊1. The general definition of an academic journalAn academic journal is a peer-reviewed periodical in which scholarship relating to a particular academic discipline is published.2. The significance of peer-review processThe peer-review process is considered critical to establishing a reliable body of research and knowledge.3. The definition of review articlesReview articles, also called “reviews of progress”, are checks on the research published in journals.4. One difference between original research articles and review articlesUnlike original research articles, review articles tend to be solicited submissions, sometimes planned years in advance.5. The places where science journals are authoritatively rankedNatural science journals are categorized and ranked in the Science Citation Index, and social science journals in the Social Science Citation Index.6. The possible quantitative factors to reflect an academic journal’s prestigeThe number of later articles citing articles already published in the journal, the overall number of citations, how quickly articles are cited, and the average “half-life” of articles.7. The financial resources of humanities and social science academic journalsSubsidies by universities or professional organizations and advertising fees by advertisers.8. The role of internet in the production of, and access to, academic journalsThe Internet has revolutionized the production of, and access to, academic journals, with their contents available online via services subscribed to by academic libraries or even in a way of open access.3 Organization of a Scientific Paper科技论文的篇章结构1. In most scientific journals, scientific papers include the following sectionsSummary or Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments.2. The content of Summary or AbstractIt gives a brief background to the topic, describes concisely the major findings of the paper, and relates these findings to the field of study.3. The Introduction section deals with the following two pointsIt describes first the accepted state of knowledge in a specialized field; then it focuses more specifically on a particular aspect, usually describing a finding or set of findings that led directly to the work described in the paper.4. The purpose of Materials and MethodsIts purpose is to describe the materials used in the experiments and the methods by which the experiments were carried out.5. The two ways of organizing ResultsIn some papers, the results are presented without extensive discussion, which is reserved for the following section. In other papers, results are given, and then they are interpreted, perhaps taken together with other findings not in the paper, so as to give the logical basis for later experiments.6. The purposes of the Discussion sectionThe data in the paper are interpreted; the findings of the paper are related to other findings in the field; this serves to show how the findings contribute to knowledge, or correct the errors of previous work; some of the logical arguments are often provided when it is necessary to clarify why later experiments were earned out. 7. The reason for combining the Results and DiscussionBecause the data need extensive discussion to allow the reader to follow the train of logic developed in the course of the research.8. The difference between the abstracts in Science and those in NatureIn Science, the abstract is self-contained; in Nature, the abstract also serves as a brief introduction to the paper.4 Reading a Scientific Paper科技论文的阅读方法1. The order to understand the major points of the work, you should first readThe Abstract.2. Reading the Title and the Abstract serves three purposesFirst, it clarifies whether you in fact know enough background to appreciate the paper. Second, it refreshes your memory about the topic. Third, it helps you integrate the new information into your previous knowledge about the topic.3. When reading in a familiar field, you can skim or even skipThe Introduction.4. The three typical codewordsData not shown, unpublished data, preliminary data.5. The poorly written papers are often related to three types of writersThose who are poor writers; those who do not enjoy writing, and do not take the time or effort to ensure that the prose is dear and logical; those who are so familiar with the material that it is difficult to step back and see it from the point of view of a reader not familiar with the topic.6. The three characteristics of “bad writing”First, the logical connections are often left out. Second, papers are often cluttered with a great deal of jargon. Third, the authors often do not provide a clear roadmap through the paper.7. In better writing, the side issues are dealt with in the following waysThey are relegated to Figure legends or Materials and Methods or clearly identified as side issues, so as not to distract the reader.8. Another problem faced by the readers is that when they seek to understand just the experiment was, they may findThe authors refer back to previous papers; these refer in turn to previous papers m a long chain.。

The Power of Titles and Subtitles in EnglishEssaysIn the realm of academic writing, the importance oftitles and subtitles cannot be overstated. These elements serve as the first impression for readers, often决定了whether they will engage with the content or move on to something else. The art of crafting engaging titles and subtitles lies in a careful blend of creativity, clarity, and relevance.Titles should be concise yet impactful, capturing the essence of the essay while piquing the reader's interest. They should reflect the main idea or argument of the piece, avoiding vague or generic language. A strong title sets the tone for the entire essay, setting expectations for the reader and framing their understanding of the content.Subtitles, on the other hand, serve to break up the text, guiding the reader through the essay. They introduce new ideas or sections, providing structure and organization. Effective subtitles are specific and descriptive, giving readers a clear sense of what each section will cover. Theyalso help to maintain the flow of the essay, ensuring that the reader remains engaged and informed.When writing an English essay, it is crucial to consider the cultural context and readability. Titles and subtitles should be written in a language that is both accessible and engaging for the target audience. Avoiding complex vocabulary or jargon can help ensure that the message is communicated effectively.In conclusion, titles and subtitles are integral to the success of an English essay. By taking the time to craft engaging and relevant titles and subtitles, writers can significantly improve the readability and impact of their work. Remember, first impressions count, and a strong title and subtitle can be the difference between a reader who stops and a reader who keeps going.**标题与副标题在英语作文中的力量**在学术写作领域,标题与副标题的重要性不容忽视。

ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 Words)High levels of Wilms' Tumor 1 (WT1) mRNA in breast tumors have been linked with poor prognosis for breast cancer patients. However, the function of WT1 protein in breast cancer was not known. We reported the expression of WT1 protein in 9 out of 10 human breast cancer cell lines. The levels of WT1 protein were increased by the HER2/neu oncogene and 17β-estradiol. We demonstrated that WT1 protein is vital to the proliferation of breast cancer cells since down regulation of WT1 protein expression led to breast cancer growth inhibition and apoptosis, which was correlated with decreased cyclin D1 and Bcl-2 levels. WT1 has been shown to undergo two splicing events, which result in four different isoforms. Stable transfection of the different WT1 isoforms was performed in MCF-7 cells. Our data indicate that the WT1 isoforms enhance the in vitro proliferation of MCF-7 breast cancer cells, but do not modulate the sensitivities of MCF-7 cells to doxorubicin, taxol, or tamoxifen. WT1 protein enhances breast tumorigenesis induced by other oncogenes or growth factors, such as HER2/neu and estradiol, but its over expression alone is not sufficient to induce breast tumorigenesis.14.

Loeb et al. [1] demonstrated that WT1 mRNA and protein are expressed in nearly 90% of breast cancers, but not in most normal breast tissues. Silberstein et al. [2] suggested that there was an association of WT1 protein expression with a biologically aggressive phenotype of breast cancer. Recently, Miyoshi et al. [3] correlated high levels of WT1 mRNA with poor prognosis in breast cancer patients. But it is not known how WT1 protein contributes to breast tumorigenesis. One aim of this project is to determine if the WT1 protein contributes to breast tumor progression by deregulating cell proliferation and apoptosis. The deregulation of proliferation and survival pathways has been associated with chemoresistance in many tumors. Therefore, it is hypothesized that WT1 regulates chemoresistance in breast cancer cells. This project seeks to determine the mechanisms and the isoforms by which WT1 deregulates breast cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis.BODYSpecific Aim 1: To determine whether WT1 overexpression increases the proliferation and survival of breast cancer cells in cell culture modelsWe observed that the levels of WT1 protein correlated with the proliferation of breast cancer cells [4]. When the proliferation of breast cancer cells was stimulated by 17β-estradiol, WT1 protein expression increased. But when the proliferation of breast cancer cells was inhibited by tamoxifen or all-trans retinoic acid, WT1 protein expression decreased [4]. We also observed that MCF-7 breast cancer cells stably transfected with the HER2/neu oncogene express approximately 3-fold higher levels of WT1 protein than parental MCF-7 cells [5]. Conversely,inhibition of HER2/neu with the anti-HER2/neu trastuzumab (Herceptin™) antibody or inhibition of Akt with an Akt inhibitor decreased WT1 protein levels in HER2/neu-overexpressing BT-474 and SKBr3 breast cancer cells, indicating that HER2/neu engages Akt to increase WT1 protein expression [5]. Since WT1 protein levels were increased by 17β-estradiol and HER2/neu, two factors known to stimulate breast tumor proliferation, we hypothesize that WT1 protein plays a role in regulating breast cancer cell proliferation. Using liposome-incorporated WT1 antisense oligodeoxynucleotides, we found that downregulation of WT1 protein expression led to cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase and increased apoptosis, which is correlated with decreased cyclin D1 and Bcl-2 levels, in breast cancer cells [4, 5]. These results indicate that WT1 protein plays a vital role in mediating the proliferative and anti-apoptotic signals in breast cancer cells. Our data support earlier observations that WT1 may play a vital role in the aggressive phenotypes of breast cancer cells [1, 3].WT1 has been shown to undergo two splicing events, which result in four different isoforms. These isoforms are able to bind to different DNA promoter elements and different protein partners. Plasmids encoding the four isoforms “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D” of the wild type WT1 gene were transfected into human MCF-7 breast cancer cells to prove that overexpression of the WT1 gene will increase breast cancer cell proliferation and survival. Stable transfectant clones were selected. The transfection remained stable for up to at least 6 months. Western blot confirmed that WT1 protein was expressed about 2-3 levels higher in the transfectants than in the parental cells. The CellTiter 96 Aqueous nonradioactive proliferation (MTS) assay was used to determine the proliferative rates of these transfectants. Compared to parental and vector-transfected cells, all four isoforms increase MCF-7 cell proliferation by about 130-150%. Butflow cytometric analysis does not show any difference in the distribution of cells in the different phases of the cell cycle between the WT1 transfectants and the control cells.Specific Aim 2: To determine whether WT1 overexpression increases breast tumor growth in animal modelsMCF-7 wild type cells and MCF-7 transfectants (vector control, WT1 isoform “A”, WT1 isoform “D”) were implanted into the mammary fat pad of nude mice that had 0.72 mg of 17β-estradiol pellets. We chose WT1 isoforms “A” and “D” for the in vivo studies because these isoforms were believed to regulate different genes since they were found to bind to different DNA elements [6]. Four weeks later, tumors were found from mice implanted with the control wild type and vector cells. Six out of nine mice implanted with MCF-7wild type cells form tumors, and eight out of eight mice implanted with MCF-7/vector cells form tumors. However, no tumor was found in mice implanted with the MCF-7 cells stably transfected with the WT1 “A” isoform or the WT1 “D” isoform. Our data support those of Zhang et al. [7] who found that WT1 protein inhibited tumor growth of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells in nude mice.Specific Aim 3: To determine whether WT1 regulates chemoresistance in breast cancer cells MTS assay was used to compare the chemosensitivity of WT1 transfectants with control cells. No difference is observed between the doxorubicin and the taxol sensitivity of any of the isoforms and the control cells. Similarly, no difference is observed between the tamoxifen sensitivity of any of the isoforms and the control cells.KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS• Published our data that WT1 protein increases the expression of cyclin D1 protein, and increases the proliferation of breast cancer cells.Zapata-Benavides, P., Tuna, M., Lopez-Berestein, G., and Tari, A.

(See attached)CONCLUSIONSWe are very surprised that the four WT1 isoforms, which have been shown to bind to different partnering proteins and different DNA sequences, appear to behave quite similarly in vitro in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell background. Furthermore, it was very disappointing that the WT1 transfectants did not form tumors in nude mice. Thus, we believe that WT1 protein enhances breast tumorigenesis induced by oncogenes and growth factors, such as HER2/neu and estradiol.

Flammability testing of aircraft blankets was conducted in order to develop a fire performance test method and performance criteria for blankets supplied to commercial aircraft operators. Aircraft blankets were subjected to vertical Bunsen burner testing, 4-ply vertical testing, full-scale match and cigarette testing, and single- and 4-ply horizontal testing. It was found that the 4-ply horizontal test correlates well with the full-scale match tests, produces consistent test results, and realistically evaluates ease of ignition.

Hale Waihona Puke ivEXECUTIVE SUMMARY On November 28, 1993, during gate departure of a Northwest Airlines 727 aircraft, the pilot declared an emergency after a fire was reported in an overhead stowage bin. Upon completion of their investigation, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada determined that the original source of fuel for the fire was the 100 percent polyester airline blankets stored in the overhead stowage bin. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) does not require flammability testing of airline blankets. Therefore in light of the above incident, the United States (U.S.) National Transportation Safety Board asked the FAA to develop a fire performance criteria for blankets supplied to commercial airline operators. After extensive testing performed at the FAA Technical Center, a 4-ply horizontal test method had been developed. The test involves mounting four layers of the blanket in an 8-inchsquare metal test fixture and subjecting the material to a Bunsen burner flame from below for 12 seconds. The proposed method produces consistent test results, correlates well with full-scale testing, and is more realistic since the blankets are folded when stored in the aircraft stowage bins.
