The majority of extant reptiles are oviparous and produce eggs with three major components:embryo,yolk,and eggshelll.The eggshell is species-specific and more diverse in squamate reptiles than in other amniote taxa.Here,we study the crystal structure,chemical composition,and bonding states of the eggshell of the green crested lizard Bronchocela cristatella.X-ray diffractometer(XRD) analysis showed the existence of two clearly defined and distinguishable crystalline phases,aragonite and calcite.Using the XRD data and a unit cell refinement routine,we identified two sets of cell parameters:a =4.956 (A),b =7.965 (A),and c=5.734 (A) for the aragonite phase;a =4.987 (A),b =4.987 (A),and c=17.056 (A) for the calcite structure.We used x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to examine detailed elemental composition and bonding states and found that the eggshell was composed primarily of elements C,N,Ca,and O,with C,N and O bonded to various types of hybridization in the protein of the eggshell membrane.The Ca∶C∶O ratio for the calcium carbonate yielded a value of ~7∶8∶21,which is close to the expected stoichiometric value of CaCO3.

在方面信息情感分类中针对使用循环神经网络编码长距离文本的信息丢失问题,以及使用注意力机制提取情感信息时倾向于关注高频信息偏置问题,提出一种多模特征融合的方面信息情感分类方法,区分单点、多点以及局部三类不同表达模式的情感信息,通过对三类情感信息有侧重的关注、提取与融合,实现各类特征间相互确认与纠错,降低信息丢失与关注偏置问题,达到增强复杂情感表达模式下的方面信息情感分类能力的目的 .实验结果表明,使用所提出的方法对三类情感信息进行提取与融合,可以使方面信息情感分类任务在准确率和F1值指标上得到进一步提升.
The unusual properties of quasicrystals (QCs) have attracted tremendous attention from researchers.In this paper,a semi-analytical solution is presented for the static response of a functionally graded (FG) multilayered two-dimensional (2D) decago-nal QC
In this paper,we propose general strain-and stress-driven two-phase lo-cal/nonlocal piezoelectric integral models,which can distinguish the difference of non-local effects on the elastic and piezoelectric behaviors of nanostructures.The nonlocal piezoelec
A consequence of nonlinearities is a multi-harmonic response via a mono-harmonic excitation.A similar phenomenon also exists in random vibration.The power spectral density (PSD) analysis of random vibration for nonlinear systems is studied in this paper.T
