Biological Properties and Spatial Pattern of Oberesfuscipennis
ZHANGJian-qiang
2002, 15(4): 353-356.
Abstract:
AnOberes fuscipennis(Chevrolat) usually completes a life cycle within one year in Sichuan province and Chongqing, southwest China. It spends thewholewinter in a formof ripe larva. Thereafterthe larva ofO. fuscipennisdevelops to its adult stage. This stage lasts relatively shorter than its larva stage, from the late April (ca20 April) tothe early July (ca10 July), with imagines takingthe veins ofmulberry and other plant leaves as food/nutrition sources, and laying eggs on the tips ofmulberry. The spatial pattern of the eggs shows a negative binomial distribution. The eggs are hatched for eight days and then the new larvae start to eat upwards the young tip of the mulberry leaves near the groovewhere the eggswere laid and hatched. Ashortwhile later, the larvae eat the mulberry leaves downwards for the availability of their food. Often, the larvae also turns upwards to eat the side branches, indicating that they intend to finish up the food source nearby before moving further. The larva stage is the longest period of its life. It can be as long as about tenmonths towards the nextAprilwhen it pupates. The pupa stage lasts about16 days. Duringthis stage theSpilopteron sp.starts to parasitize the larvae ofO. fuscipennis, and the rate of the parasitism can reach up to 37.1 % of the larvae before they start another life cycle.

A Shear Lag Analysis for a Simply Supported Steel-Concrete Composite Box Girder
CHENGHai-gen, QIANG Shi-zhong
2002, 15(4): 362-366.
Abstract:
Adifferential equation for calculatingthe normal stress atthe transverse section of the flange of a steel-concrete composite box girder is derived based on the compatibility of strain and the equilibrium of forces on an micro element of the flange section. Separation of variables is employed to solve the differential equation under the boundary condition of two ends of the girder being simply supported, and the solution of stress is obtained in the form of Fourier series. The shear lag coefficient is then obtained according to its definition. An application example proves the quick convergence and high accuracy of the calculating method presented in this paper, which also shows that satisfactory results are achieved through simple calculations.

Abstract:
In order to effectively analyze the crack propagation in asphalt pavements, three geometric functionsF(a/b)for analysis of bottom cracks in asphalt layers are yielded by fitting some discrete values of crack lengths.

The three geometric functions are verified respectively underothertwo sets of loads. The stress intensity factors produced by the three geometric functions according to the theory of weight function are in good agreement with those calculated by FEM in the whole calculation fields. In addition, the weight functions in the whole calculation fields are obtained using the three geometric functions, and a comparison between the weight functions is made

2002, 15(4): 393-398.
Abstract:
A region division approach for vehicle location and navigation is presented, which is based on GPS technique, dead reckoning (DR) and the map matching of digital road networks. In order to meet the needs ofwide applications, a region-divided model forthe vehicle location and navigation system(VLNS) is established. Based on this model, a systematic analysis of the central module, and an outline design of the VLNS are discussed on the following issues: (1) the dynamic switch of the workingmode between GPS and CDGPS (conventional differential GPS), (2) the layered map database and the dynamic compile of the layered map, and (3) the improved map matching algorithm that compensates the positioning errors of GPS and dead reckoningwith the aid of digital map. It has been proved thatwith the region division approach, the performances of the VLNSget improved. The VLNSmodel built in this paper can provide high precision application not only for local-area, but also forwide-area users
