Kepler-16: a transiting circumbinary planet

We report the detection of a planet whose orbit surrounds a pair of low-mass stars. Data from the Kepler spacecraft reveal transits of the planet across both stars, in addition to the mutual eclipses of the stars, giving precise constraints on the absolute dimensions of all three bodies. The planet is comparable to Saturn in mass and size and is on a nearly circular 229-day orbit around its two parent stars. The eclipsing stars are 20 and 69% as massive as the Sun and have an eccentric 41-day orbit. The motions of all three bodies are confined to within 0.5° of a single plane, suggesting that the planet formed within a circumbinary disk.     

KOI-126: a triply eclipsing hierarchical triple with two low-mass stars

The Kepler spacecraft has been monitoring the light from 150,000 stars in its primary quest to detect transiting exoplanets. Here, we report on the detection of an eclipsing stellar hierarchical triple, identified in the Kepler photometry. KOI-126 [A, (B, C)], is composed of a low-mass binary [masses M(B) = 0.2413 ± 0.0030 solar mass (M(⊙)), M(C) = 0.2127 ± 0.0026 M(⊙); radii R(B) = 0.2543 ± 0.0014 solar radius (R(⊙)), R(C) = 0.2318 ± 0.0013 R(⊙); orbital period P(1) = 1.76713 ± 0.00019 days] on an eccentric orbit about a third star (mass M(A) = 1.347 ± 0.032 M(⊙); radius R(A) = 2.0254 ± 0.0098 R(⊙); period of orbit around the low-mass binary P(2) = 33.9214 ± 0.0013 days; eccentricity of that orbit e(2) = 0.3043 ± 0.0024). The low-mass pair probe the poorly sampled fully convective stellar domain offering a crucial benchmark for theoretical stellar models.     

Gravity Waves in Jupiter's Thermosphere

The Atmosphere Structure Instrument on the Galileo probe detected wavelike temperature fluctuations superimposed on a 700-kelvin temperature increase in Jupiter's thermosphere. These fluctuations are consistent with gravity waves that are viscously damped in the thermosphere. Moreover, heating by these waves can explain the temperature increase measured by the probe. This heating mechanism should be applicable to the thermospheres of the other giant planets and may help solve the long-standing question of the source of their high thermospheric temperatures.     

2种烟草种植模式种植成本分析

分析了我国烟草生产不同发展阶段的传统烟草种植和现代烟草种植模式下烟农种植过程中的成本投入,结果表明:因烟草专业化服务组织农业机械化水平和专业化程度的提高,烟草种植的人工投入数、人工成本分别由传统烟草种植模式的15.01个/667 m2和758元/667 m2降低到现代烟草种植模式的2.41个/667 m2和120.25元/667 m2;由于人工成本的大幅度降低,烟草种植总成本由传统烟草种植模式的798元/667 m2降低到现代烟草种植模式下的307.25元/667 m2。     

分子遗传技术在家畜遗传评定中的应用

基于表型信息和谱系信息估计基因加性效应值的种畜遗传评定方法在家畜遗传改良中发挥了很大作用,但因其无法真正了解控制经济性状的遗传本质,影响了家畜遗传改良的进一步进展。分子标记辅助选择可在一定程度上提高种畜遗传评定准确性,但在目前不能精确定位QTL或基因时,其效率受到很大影响。提高种畜遗传评定准确性的最有效途径应是直接利用控制经济性状的基因,后基因组时代的功能基因组研究的快速发展为实现这一目标提供了契机。同时,多个家畜品种基因组测序完成和大量SNP多态性的发现,使得利用覆盖全基因组多态性标记信息的基因组选择方法为家畜遗传评定开拓了又一条途径。

“精灵之家”花园的新多年生主义种植设计

新多年生主义伴随着花境、花园的丰富而流行,是一种营造自然生态和可持续性植物景观的种植理念。但目前国内将新多年生主义中国本土化的景观实践研究还较少。以深圳莲花山簕杜鹃花展的“精灵之家”花园为例,探讨了其设计理念,重点阐述了其植物选择、植物配置手法、植物空间分布和色彩搭配,从景观空间和植物材料入手,说明了其立体景观营建和特色荫生植物配置、四季景观可持续性营建等景观营建技术,与传统花境造景手法不同,彰显了新多年生主义的造景特色,营造出具有鲜明特色的新多年生主义花园景观。
