Starting and Sustaining an Undergraduate Research Program: The SURIEM Experience at Michigan State University

Abstract

Mentoring undergraduate students in research is both rewarding and challenging. In this paper we present how we established a summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program in the mathematical sciences at Michigan State University. A goal of our REU is to include students who are at an early stage of their study of mathematics. We share our experiences in recruiting students, designing research projects, and mentoring our participants. We discuss the challenges we faced and the solutions we found while working with a diverse group of undergraduate students from across the nation.

动态车辆调度系统的滚动时域调度算法

提出了一类特殊的动态车辆调度问题--动态独占性带时间窗口装卸货问题.给出了问题的数学描述,分析了其静态性质,并把问题简化为不对称带时间窗口旅行商问题.提出了求解该动态问题的滚动时域调度算法,通过时域的不断滚动,不仅可以跟踪问题的动态变化,还由于每次滚动只对部分客户进行处理,可以减少问题的求解时间.并分析了算法的3个要素:当前客户窗口、当前客户窗口的调度和滚动策略.测试结果验证了算法在求解动态车辆调度问题中的有效性.

水稻免耕栽培生理基础——Ⅱ.免耕水稻的光合特性

威优64、陆青早1号作为试验材料,免耕能提高功能叶的光合速率、生育前期功能叶的呼吸强度、绿叶面积、叶绿素和可溶性蛋白含量,并延缓它们在生育后期的下降速率,降低后期功能叶的呼吸速率。主分量分析说明,在研究光合作用时,光合强度、叶绿素、可溶性蛋白质、叶片含氮量,可以任意选择一个作为光合特性指际。粒/叶比说明,免耕对源的改善较对库的改善较好些。     

Homoharringtonine induces apoptosis of endothelium and down-regulates VEGF expression of K562 cells

Homoharringtonine (HHT) has currently been used successfully in the treatment of acute and chronic myeloid leukemias and has been shown to induce apoptosis of different types of leukemic cells in vitro. Emerging evidence suggests that angiogenesis may play an important role in hematological malignancies, such as leukemia. How ever, whether HHT can relieve leukemia by anti-angiogenesis is still unknown. We investigated the anti-angiogenesis potential of HHT with the human umbilical vein endothelial cell line (ECV304) and leukemic cell line (K562) in vitro. Cellular proliferation was determined by MTT assay and apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. The mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was assessed by RT-PCR and VEGF protein production was detected by Western blot. Inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis by HHT were discovered in ECV304 cells, and appeared in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Also, treatment with HHT caused down-regulation of VEGF mRNA expression in K562 cells in similar dose- and time-dependent manner and inhibition of VEGF protein production in K562 cells in response to the enhancing concentration of HHT. The results demonstrated that HHT could also induce apoptosis in endothelium and down-regulate VEGF expression in K562 cells. In conclusion, we believe HHT has anti-angiogenesis potential and speculate that HHT might exert its anti-leukemia effects via reduction of angiogenesis.     

Physical design method of MPSoC

Floorplan, clock network and power plan are crucial steps in deep sub-micron system-on-chip design. A novel di- agonal floorplan is integrated to enhance the data sharing between different cores in system-on-chip. Custom clock network con- taining hand-adjusted buffers and variable routing rules is constructed to realize balanced synchronization. Effective power plan considering both IR drop and electromigration achieves high utilization and maintains power integrity in our MediaSoC. Using such methods, deep sub-micron design challenges are managed under a fast prototyping methodology, which greatly shortens the design cycle.
