l 行 话 : 行话是某个专业或行业团体所使用的特殊表达方式，圈外人一般听不懂。 应避免使用的行话： Southern blotted 为实验室行话，正确的表达为 …analyzed by Southern blot… Western blotted 与 Southern blotted 类似，也是实验室行话，正确用法为 …subjected to western blot analysis 或 …analyzed by western blot electrophorized 正确用法为 analyzed by or subjected to electrophoresis bugs 表示细菌，千万不要在科技论文中使用 lab 正确用法为 laboratory prep 正确用法为 prepare vet 正确用法为 veterinarian evidenced 以名词 evidence 替代 vortexed vortex 只能以名词形式存在，应改为 was mixed by vortex l 缩略语 : 大量的缩略语会使读者感到困惑，因此要减少使用频率 ; 同样，非标准的缩略语也要避免使用。在一篇论文中不要使用 4 、 5 个以上的缩略语 ; 另外，避免在一段话中同时使用多个缩略语，这会给句子的理解造成困难。 例如： a. MPTP is converted by MAOB to MPP , which reaches SNpc nerve cells via DA uptake systems. b. We assessed non-AGN galaxies, contained in the MUSYC survey in the ECDFS using HST for a target source. 上面两句话对同行而言也许很好理解，但对于大多数读者是无法理解的。 对于必需使用的缩略语，应在其第一次出现时进行定义，或者于文章首页的脚注中予以标注，或两种方式同时采用，这要根据期刊的要求。一旦对缩略语进行了定义，就不要再使用全称，除非该词再次出现时已与前次相隔多页，这时则需要再次提醒读者缩略语的含义。如果在文章题目中使用或定义缩略语（不建议采用此方式），那么请在文中再次定义。摘要中的缩略语也照此处理。如果一篇很长的科技论文需要用到大量缩略语，则考虑在文后以附录的形式列出所有缩略语及其含义。 特殊缩略语 : 一些衍生自拉丁语的缩略语在科技论文中很常用。需要注意的是，虽然下面的缩略语来自拉丁语，但通常并不采用斜体： e.g. = exempli gratia— for example et al. = et alia— and others i.e. = id est— that is l 专业名称与专业术语 科技论文中使用正确的专业名称和专业术语非常重要，可以避免误解。如果对某个词不确定，不要猜测，而应花时间查字典、词典及相关参考书。 表示物种的和所有起源于拉丁语的词都用斜体 (in vivo, Physcomitrella, patens, etc.) 人类基因 : 所有字母大写并斜体 (ADH3, HBA1) 小鼠基因 : 首字母大写，其他小写，全部斜体 (Sta, Shh, Glral) 人类蛋白质 : 大写正体 (ADH3, HBA1) 小鼠蛋白质 : 与基因表示法类似，但不用斜体 (Sta, Shh, Glral) 为了区分具有相同基因符号的同源基因的物种，将物种名称的缩写作为前缀加在基因符号前。比如人类位点， (HSA)G6PD ；同源小鼠位点， (MMU)G6pd ，其中 HAS= Homo sapiens, MMU= Mus musculus 。 摘编自《科技写作与交流》 ( 任胜利 等 译 . 科学出版社 , 2012 年出版 ) 相关阅读 ： 科技写作漫谈：博文分类阅读
在科技写作中，相当多的词和短语被错用或被混淆。被错用的词可以分为如下几类：带后缀的词、动词、副词、形容词和连词。 -ability ： 如果句中使用了带后缀 -ability 的词，通常都需要改写，用 can 后跟一个更有力的动词替代。 例： Changeability of X occurs when Y is added 改： X can change when Y is added. -ization ： 很多作者喜欢在动词后面加 -ation 或 -ization ，以这种方式创造名词很值得质疑。 例： Metabolization of phosphates was different than expected 改： Phosphates were metabolized differently than expected. -ize ： 很多时候作者会错误地以为在名词或形容词后面加上 -ize 便可以变成动词。 例： Older patients were prioritized . 改： Older patients were given priority . -ized/-izing ： 对词根为 -ized 或 –izing 的形容词也应该保持警惕，并寻找更简洁的词替代。 例： Individualized doses were calculated Nanoscience has a transformatizing impact on various Technologies. 改： Individual doses were calculated Nanoscience has a transformative impact on various Technologies. 或更好的修改： Nanoscience transformas various technologies. -ology ： 以 -ology 结尾的词表示某某学，且为科技领域中的行话，比如： 例： No pathology was found. / Cytology was normal. / Symptomology was severe. / Serology was negative. 改 : No pathologic condition was found. / Cytologic findings were normal. / Symptoms were severe. / Serologic findings was normal. 避免性别歧视 ： 性别歧视包括所有口头或文字表示的男女不平等，或排挤一方支持另一方。虽然可能出于无意，但写作中性别歧视的表现方式很多，有些非常微妙，除非被指明否则作者不一定会注意到。在英语中可以通过使用复数形式的代词 they 和复数动词来避免这一难题。 例 ： Man is not the only host for this parasite. 改： Humans are not the only host for this parasite. 例： A nurse should double-check her IV settings. 改： Nurses should double-check their IV settings. 练习：选择填空 1. like, as: Plasmids were isolated described by Beates(17).

Liang Bai Jay yingqliang@yahoo.com Tel: 970-495-6823 1906 Corriedale Dr. Fort Collins,CO 80526, U. S. A. Abstract Defined a new combination rule for the vectors of a vector space, obtain a new special group, called Bai-Liang group,which is exchange group, i.e. Abel group. It cab be applied to many fields, including the ecology system. Key Words Multi-Dimentional Vector Space Combination Rule of vectors Group Exchange Group Abel Group Bai-Liang Group Let v(i) be the basic vectors of a multi-dimentionl vector space V, basic vectors are the unit vectors, i=1,2,...m Any vector A of the vector space V, can be expressed as the sum of a(i)v(i), where the a(i)s are the elements of the real number collection R, i=1,2,...m Define the vectors( belong to V ) combination rule by multiplication (including distribution and combination ): v(i)v(j)=v(i) if i=j v(i)v(j)=0 if i,j not the same. i, j=1,2,...m The unit element vector E of the vector space V is: E=v(1)+ v(2)+...+v(m) To any vector A belongs to V , there is AE=EA=A If all the components of a vector are zero, call it O vector of space V . To any vector A belongs to V, there is OA=AO=O Define the reverse vector A(-1) of vector A (belongs to space V) is the sum of v(i), where the a(i)s are the elements of the real number collection R, i=1,2,...m Then AA(-1)=A(-1)A=E To any vector A belongs to V Vector A divided by vector B ( both belong to space V ) is defined as vector A combines to the reverse vector B(-1) of vector B: A/B=AB(-1) The result is a new vector C of space V C=A/B=AB(-1), is the sum of c(i)v(i), where c(i)=a(i) , a(i),b(i),c(i) are the elements of the real number collection R, i=1,2,...m call vector C the ratio vector of A/B. The combination rule of vectors (belong to space V) satisfies combination law and exchange law, for example: ABC=A(BC)=(AB)C=ACB=BAC=... All the vectors of the multi-dimentional vector space V combined by the rule defined above, consist a group, which is an exchange group, i.e. Aber group. Due to the special combination rule for this group, we call it Bai-Liang group, which can be applied to many different fields, such as economical system,`ecology system and stock market system analysis and their trends prediction, and so on. In the applications, the dimentions of the vector space can be changed. When its dimention increases, the old space is the subspace of the new one, and the old group is the subgroup of the new one, vice versa.

昨天，老师转发给我一篇文章，是HMS的Dr. David E. Clapham写给年轻的博士后，如何在博士后生涯获得成功，对刚刚毕业的我们非常有帮助，与各位同仁共享： David E. Clapham MD, PhD Harvard Medical School Howard Hughes Medical Institute January 13, 2004 A Few Suggestions on Being a Successful Postdoc Before you decide to become a Postdoc: Ask yourself, do you have a burning desire to do experiments and write papers? Are you willing to work harder than 90% of people in the real world? Do you truly enjoy reading and thinking about science? Is being a scientist about the only thing you imagine you would really enjoy doing? Do you enjoy being in the lab doing experiments. If the answer to these questions is no, then don't become a Postdoc! For the most part, academic science is not a field with good working hours, monetary compensation, or security. Before 1850, the only people who could do science were wealthy. On the other hand, it has tremendous freedom, is continually intellectually challenging, and gives you a shot at seeing what no one in history has seen before. The happiest scientists are those who always feel surprised anyone would pay them to do what they do. Cardinal Rules （主要原则） During the Postdoc 1. READ, EXPERIMENT, ANALYZE, DISCUSS, SUMMARIZE a. READ the literature daily or every other day. Don't put it off. Reading will give you new ideas. b. In biological fields, there is no substitute for LOTS of EXPERIMENTs. But only do experiments that have a clearly interpretable outcome. Bad experiments, at best, waste time. c. ANALYZE and organize your data frequently. Scientists can waste months by neglecting the organization of their own data. Organize the data into preliminary figures FREQUENTLY. Don't wait until you are ready to write the paper. If you delay this process until you decide to write a paper, you will often find you are missing critical data. Also, it is much easier to get over "writer's block" if you already have figures in hand that guide your writing. d. Talk to other in the lab and the PI frequently, always with data in hand. Making figures is invaluable in organizing your thoughts, finding mistakes and being objective about the data. It also documents your contributions. Show your figures to others in the lab-this clearly states to others your territory as well as elicits new ideas you may not have thought of. 2. When you find a good result, start thinking then about what data you need to publish it. THEN START ORGANIZING FIGURES. Sketch out the figures that would be needed to reach a conclusion. Chances are, someone, somewhere is working on the same thing. A month of very hard work can prevent the loss of years of work by being scooped. Strike while the iron is hot! 3. Try your own pet experiments, but move on quickly if the results don't seem promising. Don't hesitate to give up a beautiful hypothesis if the data don't support it. Don't waste time on 20% effects for any great length of time. 4. FOCUS-Don't scatter your precious time over many different directions. Make sure efforts in more than one direction complement each other. Neglecting the above accouts for most productivity problems. Other advice: 5. PUBLISH OR PERISH （腐烂，死亡） is the Darwinian Rule of Academia- this rule will not change. This is fair, since Why should taxpayers pay for you to do experiments for your own entertainment? Think of some poor hard-working citizen earning minimum wage at 2 full time jobs (not uncommon). They are giving money to you in hopes you will help solve their kid's, spouse's, parent's disease. The only way anyone knows you are doing anything with your time is if you publish. How much should you expect to publish? An average of one good paper per year (reviews don't count, BBRCs （ Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications ， IF ： 2.5 左右） papers may be negative numbers). Two great Cell, Nature, Science , etc papers over a four year period will get you an excellent job if you can speak reasonably well . But other papers that are highly respected will also get you a job, even if not in these journals. Don't be so bent on a Nature paper that you force the beautiful hypothesis into a publication that turns out to be incorrect. Sloppy and strikingly incorrect papers are dominant negatives （ 显性负调控 ） , no matter where they are published. Publications are like your children, they reflect directly on you! If you make good children, they will take care of you later. If you don't publish you can't get grants , a job , or promotion . 6. Give frequent presentations -this will help you organize your thoughts and develop your organizing and speaking skills. These are CRUCIAL skills in academia. Ask for comments on the clarity of your presentation. ALWAYS practice a talk in a friendly but critical audience before giving a talk outside the lab. When talking in public, don't hesitate to admit you don't know something. When you are wrong, admit it. 7. Never speak ill of another person. Find something constructive to say or don't say it (it always gets back to the person). In talking to the PI （ principal investigator ，主要研究者，项目负责人） , focus on data, NOT lab personalities or complaints about other people unless they are completely blocking your progress, abusing your openness, or doing something bad (e.g. illegal). Turf （踢走，扔） all personal incompatibilities to the PI and let him/her handle the problem. 8. Be self-critical. Bias and wish fulfillment are the chief stumbling （阻碍的，绊倒） blocks of human progress! (the earth was thought to be the center of the solar system because we wanted it to be, not because it was). Be critical with others, but only in a constructive way, and focus on data, not personality. Never make an ad hominum attack （人身攻击） . 9. Be a good lab citizen. Take responsibility for getting things fixed that are shared. If you are irresponsible, others will soon recognize that point. Be generous. Generosity is rewarded in kind, and often in excess. 10. Avoid authorship squabbles （ 争吵） Read your university authorship guidelines before even thinking about raising this issue. Authorship fights are very time-consuming and harmful to all. Document what you have done, state it clearly, talk with other coauthors. If a hint of conflict arises, let the PI sort out authorship. If the PI seems unfair, discuss your contributions to the work with the PI, trying to be open-minded and fair. If you cannot reach a reasonable agreement, determine whether the battle is worth the time. If you do, then ask the PI to discuss it with all coauthors. If agreement still cannot be reached, other faculty members can be asked to help sort it out in an impartial way, or the university ombudsman can use the authorship rules of the university to try to arrive at a fair conclusion. Denoting "equal first authors" is a much more efficient route than fighting over small gradations of credit. Be objective, but generous. In general, combativeness and selfishness only work in the short run. 11. Don't waste time on courses and wildly irrelevant seminars; you are no longer in school. Don't get a second job, research is a full, 60-80 hour a week occupation. If you are lucky or a genius, you may be able to never work on weekends. Most successful postdocs work 6 days. But don't forget to take time off to rest. Have fun in the lab; make it enjoyable for all. ( If you think it will get better as an assistant professor, you are wrong ). 12. Don't dwell endlessly on what is not possible due to the lack of a piece of equipment, a reagent, etc. Dwelling on roadblocks is the sign of a person who doesn't really want to do something anyway. Really productive postdocs go around or over roadblocks . Volunteer to solve problems once in a while. 13. Don't hit the ball into another person's court and expect anything to happen. If you are relying on somebody else to get something done, you will probably have to bother that person several times (unless you are offering money). Collaborations only work with frequent interchange, deadlines, and clear expectations. 14. Resist jealousy ! It is destructive to your psyche, and leads you down "me too" paths! 15. Frustration and depression . Science is a manic-depressive （躁狂 - 抑郁） business. There are long periods of frustration followed by frenetic （发狂的） periods of success and elation （得意） . As happens the first year after the coursework in graduate school, there is a period when nothing works and all seems hopeless. Talk over frustrations and experimental problems with your labmates and PI. Often talking about the problem either helps you see a solution, elicits （引出） some good suggestions, or at least gives you a humorous perspective. Clinical depression is not uncommon-be willing to seek help from the PI and health services if it happens. The pioneering scientists, Georg Cantor （康托， 23 岁获博士学位，以后一直从事数学教学与研究。他所创立的集合论已被公认为全部数学的基础。 1918 年 1 月 6 日，康托在一家精神病院去世 ） and Kurt Goedel （爱因斯坦的一个朋友、奥地利数学家库尔特 · 戈德尔） both became clinically depressed working on the impossible continuum hypothesis （ 连续统假设） for many years. Those who are fixed on the idea that their hypothesis must be right, or unwilling to "cut their losses" are the most susceptible. The hardest problem of all is deciding when to jettison 放弃，抛弃 ） idea that does not seem to be working out (persistence vs. retreat). There is no good answer to this dilemma-some scientists succeed by persistence, others by trying many separate projects. If you have a lot of data that seems to be going nowhere, cut your losses and publish whatever is useful from it. Then MOVE ON to new ideas. Many are reluctant to admit defeat, or reluctant to give up on lost time and data. Remember that you have not really "lost" the time, but don't keep digging the same hole. Have faith-if you try many approaches, keep reading, analyzing, and thinking, you will hit on something new. If you keep doing experiments and are open to the unexpected, you will discover new results. It often does not turn out to be the hypothesis you had in mind, but that is the fun part of science. 16. Don't slavishly follow anyone's advice, including mine . Science is freedom ! JUST DO IT! “Nature may be subtle but it is not malicious”.
对于玛雅人（the Maya）来说，蓝色是神的颜色。为了宗教目的、艺术品和壁画，他们使用“玛雅蓝”（Maya blue）——一种寓意了勇敢、美丽和坚韧的无可匹敌的颜料。“玛雅蓝”是用嵌在一种特殊的被称为坡缕石（palygorskite）的粘土矿物中的靛蓝（indigo）制成的。 一支由西班牙巴伦西亚大学的Antonio Doménech教授领衔的研究团队，发现一些玛雅黄（Mayan yellow）颜料都基于相似的化学组分。正如他们在国际著名刊物 Angewandte Chemie 所报道的，玛雅人似乎早已研发出了一种制备技术，不只限于玛雅蓝的制备，而且领先于现代的有机—无机杂化材料合成技术。 玛雅蓝是很迷人的。它有一种特殊的亮度和非凡的色彩，从亮蓝绿色到深绿蓝色，色彩很丰富。这种色彩到底是源于独特的有机成分，还是独特的分子结合，抑或是独特的生产工艺？Doménech教授及其团队检验了这些假设。他们猜测，这种色彩是由靛蓝（indigo）和脱氢靛蓝（dehydroindigo，indigo的氧化态）之比决定的，而这一比例依赖于玛雅人“加热他们反应方程式”的时间长短。这一工艺允许有不同种类的，始于靛蓝化合物及矿物质的加合化合物（addition compound）的形成。研究者进一步猜测，玛雅人还能够从靛蓝基颜料出发生产黄色和绿色的颜料。综合运用光谱、电化学等现代分析技术和其它微观分析技术进行系统的研究，证实了如上判断。 (2,2'-Bis(2,3-dihydro-3-oxoindolyliden), Indigotin) Reference: From Maya Blue to "Maya Yellow": A Connection between Ancient Nanostructured Materials from the Voltammetry of Microparticles A.

《What Do You Really Want from Us?》 When we were the sick man of Asia, we were called the yellow peril. When we are billed to be the next superpower, we are called the threat. When we closed our doors, you smuggled drugs to open markets. When we embrace free trade, you blame us for taking away your jobs. When we were falling apart, you marched in your troops and wanted your fair share. When we tried to put the broken pieces back together again, free Tibet you screamed, It was an invasion! When tried communism, you hated us for being communist. When we embrace capitalism, you hate us for being capitalist. When we have a billion people, you said we were destroying the planet. When we tried limiting our numbers, you said we abused human rights. When we were poor, you thought we were dogs. When we loan you cash, you blame us for your national debts. When we build our industries, you call us polluters. When we sell you goods, you blame us for global warming. When we buy oil, you call it exploitation and genocide. When you go to war for oil, you call it liberation. When we were lost in chaos and rampage, you demanded rules of law. When we uphold law and order against violence, you call it violating human rights. When we were silent, you said you wanted us to have free speech. When we are silent no more, you say we are brainwashed-xenophobes. “Why do you hate us so much﹖”we asked. “No,” you answered, “we don't hate you.” We don't hate you either, but, do you understand us? “Of course we do, ”you said, “We have AFP, CNN and BBC's ……” What do you really want from us? Think hard first, then answer, Because you only get so many chances. Enough is enough, enough hypocrisy for this one world. We want one world, one dream, and peace on earth. This big blue earth is big enough for all of us. 附中文解读： 美国纽约州立大学水牛城分校退休华裔物理学荣誉教授林良多(Duo-Liang Lin)在美国《华盛顿邮报》上发表了一首英文诗《你们究竟要我们怎样生存？》，随后在互联网上热传并引起中西方网友热议。这首诗表达了许多美籍华人长期以来内心的压抑和愤慨，因此被评论为是多年来受到双重标准困扰的海外华人向西方偏见“射出的一记利箭”。该诗全文翻译如下： 你们究竟要我们怎样生存？ 林良多 当我们是东亚病夫时，我们被说成是黄祸； 当我们被预言将成为超级大国时，又被称为主要威胁。 当我们闭关自守时，你们走私鸦片强开门户； 当我们拥抱自由贸易时，却被责骂抢走了你们的饭碗。 当我们风雨飘摇时，你们铁蹄入侵要求机会均等； 当我们整合破碎山河时，你们却叫嚣“给西藏自由”。 当我们推行马列救国时，你们痛恨我们信仰共产主义； 当我们实行市场经济时，你们又嫉妒我们有了资本。 当我们的人口超过十亿时，你们说我们摧毁地球； 当我们限制人口增长时，你们又说我们践踏人权。 当我们一贫如洗时，你们视我们低贱如狗； 当我们借钱给你们时，你们又埋怨使你们国债累累。 当我们发展工业时，你们说我们是污染源； 当我们把产品卖给你们时，你们又说造成地球变暖。 当我们购买石油时，你们说我们掠夺资源、灭绝种族； 当你们为石油开战时，却说自己解救生灵。 当我们动乱无序时，你们说我们没有法治； 当我们依法平暴时，你们又说我们违反人权。 当我们保持沉默时，你们说我们没有言论自由； 当我们敢于发声时，又被说成是洗过脑的暴民。 我们不禁要问：“为什么你们这样憎恨我们？” 你们回答说：“不，我们不恨你们。” “我们也不恨你们，只是，你们了解我们吗？” “当然了解，我们消息多的是，有法新社、美国有线新闻网、还有英国广播公司……” 你们究竟要我们怎样生存？ 回答之前请仔细想一想，因为你们的机会是有限的。 够了，这个世界已经容不下太多的伪善。 我们要的是同一个世界，同一个梦想，太平盛世。 这个辽阔的蓝色地球, 容得下你们，也容得下我们。
