We report the discovery of 4 strong gravitational lensing systems by visual inspections of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey images of galaxy clusters in Data Release 6 （SDSS DR6）. Two of the four systems show Einstein rings while the others show tangen- tial giant arcs. These arcs or rings have large angular separations （〉 8″） from the bright central galaxies and show bluer color compared with the red cluster galaxies. In addition, we found 5 probable and 4 possible lenses by galaxy clusters.

Radio detection of pulsars in the Galactic disk is strongly affected by the dispersion and scattering effect of the interstellar medium and the Galactic background radio emission. In order to know the best conditions for discovery of pulsars, we select and simulate pulsar samples in the Galactic disk, and calculate the detection probability with various observation conditions (such as observational frequency, telescope aperture, receiver bandwidth and integration time). We have found that the detection fraction increases with the telescope aperture, receiver bandwidth and integration time. To detect pulsars in the nearer half of the Galactic disk, the observation frequency should be in the range of 1-2 GHz, while for pulsars in the farther half of the disk, the frequency should be in the range of 3.5-4.5 GHz. Due to the strong influence of scattering, the short period pulsars are hard to be detected, especially for pulsars in the farther half of the Galactic disk.
