NO对不同耐旱性杨树光合作用的影响

在水分胁迫条件下,研究了NO供体硝普钠(SNP)对乡土树种小青杨(Populus pseudo-simonii Kitag)和速生品种欧美杨107(Populus×euramericana cv.“74/76”)气孔运动及光合作用的影响。结果表明,经不同浓度SNP处理后,杨树叶片气孔相对开度降低,叶片气孔导度降低,蒸腾作用减弱;NO对杨树叶片的光合作用具有双重性,一定浓度的SNP可以调节植物的光合作用,缓解干旱胁迫的伤害,浓度达到2.0mmol.L-1时,则会产生伤害。SNP对107杨的作用效果优于小青杨,表明SNP更有利于提高速生杨对干旱胁迫的气孔反应能力。

Nonadiabatic photodissociation dynamics

The photodissociation dynamics of the triatomic (or pseudo-triatomic) system in the nonadiabatic multiple electronic states is investigated by employing a time-dependent quantum wavepacket method, while the time propagation of the wave packet is carried out using the split-operator scheme. As a numerical example, the photodissociation dynamics of CH,l in three electronic states (1)Q(1)(A'), (1)Q(1)(A"), and (3)Q(0+) is studied and CH3I is treated as a pseudotriatomic model. The absorption spectra and product vibrational state distributions are calculated and compared with previous theoretical work. (C) 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Kinetic study on the photo-catalytic degradation of pyridine in TiO2 suspension systems

It has been generally agreed that pyridine can be effectively mineralized in aerated TiO2 slurries using near-UV irradiation. The knowledge on the kinetics of the system possesses both practical and theoretical values. The present study, on the base of Langmuir-Hinshewood mechanism, illustrates a pseudo first-order kinetic model of the degradation with the limiting rate constant of 3.004 mg l(-1) min(-1) and equilibrium adsorption constant 2.763 x 10(-2) l mg(-1), respectively. The degradation efficiency in alkali is a little higher than that in acid with a minimum at about pH = 5, which is explained by the formation of acid-pyridine in acidic surrounding together with the amphoteric nature of the TiO2 surface. The promotion of H2O2 on the photo-degradation ties in its supplying proper amount of (OH)-O-. radicals for the inducement stage before surface redox reactions. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

长白山阔叶红松(Pinuskoraiensis)林种子雨组成及其季节动态

为了解阔叶红松(Pinus koraiensis)林的种子雨组成及其在时间和空间上的动态变化,在长白山阔叶红松林25hm2样地内,设置了150个种子收集器,收集掉落于种子收集器中的果实、种子等。所有收集到的样品分别鉴定其种类并分为成熟种实、未成熟种实、花序和果实或种子碎片及其附属物4类,计算各类别的数量,而后分别烘干秤重。从2005年6月到2006年11月,共收集到隶属11科12属20种的种实及其生殖器官残体。累计收集到121291粒种实,其中成熟种实23147粒,仅占所有种实总个体数的19.1%。种实数最多的树种是紫椴(Tilia amurensis)和水曲柳(Fraxinus mandshurica),两个树种种实的个体数占总个体数的90%。对2006年5月~11月种子雨季节动态的分析发现:种实在7月中旬至10月下旬数量极大,但主要由未成熟种实组成;在10月中旬出现成熟种实散落高峰,但未成熟种实仍占一定的比例。按每个收集器收集到的成熟种实数统计,成熟种实数量在100~200之间的收集器数量最多。按每个收集器收集到的树种数统计,收集器中最多收到的树种数为7,树种数为3和4的收集器个数最多。对6个主要树种成熟种实所在收集器的空间分布进行分析发现,紫椴和水曲柳的成熟种实在整个样地都有分布,春榆(Ulmus japonica)、糠椴(T.mandshurica)、色木槭(Acer mono)和假色槭(A.pseudo-sieboldianum)则只在样地的局部区域收集到成熟种实。成熟种实的空间分布与母树的空间分布大都表现出明显的相关性,表明这些树种的成熟种实并没有扩散到离母树较远的距离。

为了解阔叶红松(Pinus koraiensis)林乔木树种幼苗的组成及其年际动态,以长白山阔叶红松林25ha动态监测样地为平台,在样地内150个种子收集器周围设置了600个5m×5m幼苗样方。基于2006-2008年连续3年的幼苗样方调查数据,对乔木幼苗的树种组成、数量组成、空间分布特征、年际动态、新增和死亡幼苗组成等进行了分析。结果表明:(1)从树种组成来看,该群落乔木树种的幼苗组成种类较为丰富,共记录到21个树种,这些树种也是样地内胸径1cm以上乔木树种的主要组成成分。树种组成在年际间变化不大,但各样方间表现出极大的空间变异。(2)从数量组成来看,共记录到11,959株乔木幼苗,以水曲柳(Fraxinus mandshurica)和紫椴(Tilia amurensis)幼苗数最多,占总幼苗数的72.75%;水曲柳、紫椴和红松的幼苗数量在年际间有明显波动,其他树种年际间波动较小。(3)从新增和死亡幼苗的数量与组成来看,共记录到15个乔木树种的新增幼苗,其中紫椴、水曲柳、色木槭(Acer mono)、红松等10个树种在每次调查中都有新苗记录,新苗数量在年际间随物种和样方位置表现出明显差异。(4)对各树种的幼苗、种子和大树的组成和空间分布的比较发现,各树种的幼苗、种子和大树之间的数量组成和比例差异较大,其中紫椴、水曲柳、色木槭和假色槭(A.pseudo-sieboldianum)的幼苗、种子在整个样地内都有分布,春榆(Ulmus japonica)和怀槐(Maackia amurensis)幼苗的空间分布与种子和大树不一致,糠椴(T.mandshurica)和山丁子(Malus baccata)等的幼苗、种子和大树的个体数相对都较少,且它们的分布是一致的。

一氧化氮对不同耐旱性杨树幼苗抗旱性的影响

以乡土树种小青杨(Populus pseudo-simoniiKitag)和速生品种欧美杨107杨(Popu-lus×euramericana cv.“74/76”)幼苗为试验材料,在水分胁迫条件下研究不同浓度的外源NO供体硝普纳(sodium nitroprusside,SNP)对2种杨树抗旱性的影响。结果表明,经不同浓度SNP处理后,2种杨树叶片水势对干旱胁迫的敏感程度下降,气孔导度降低,蒸腾作用减弱,叶片含水量升高,保水能力增强。同时,SNP处理能提高杨树叶片可溶性糖和可溶性蛋白含量,降低杨树叶片相对电导率,使杨树在干旱条件下的抗脱水能力提高,减轻了干旱胁迫对细胞膜的伤害。从品种间作用效果看,SNP对107杨的抗旱性提高的幅度高于小青杨,表明SNP更有利于提高速生杨的抗旱能力。

Monitoring catalytic degradation of dye molecules on silver-coated ZnO nanowire arrays by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy

Catalytic degradation of organic dye molecules has attracted extensive attention due to their high toxicity to water resources. In this paper, we propose a novel method for the fabrication of uniform silver-coated ZnO nanowire arrays. The degradation of typical dye molecule rhodamine 6G (R6G), as an example, is investigated in the presence of the as-prepared silver-coated ZnO nanowire arrays. The experimental results show that such composite nanostructures exhibit high catalytic activity, and the reaction follows pseudo-first-order kinetics. Furthermore, these nanowire arrays are desirable SERS substrates for monitoring the catalytic degradation of dye molecules. Compared with traditional UV-visible spectroscopy, SERS technology can reflect more truly the catalytic degradation process occurring on the surface of the catalysts.

A quantitative HPLC method for determining lactide content using hydrolytic kinetics

A new method for quantitative analysis of lactide has been developed by applying chemical kinetics to a HPLC system. The most important advance is its practical approach to the quantification of analytes that are unstable in the HPLC mobile phase. In HPLC analysis, anhydrous mobile phases cannot separate lactide from impurities, and only mixtures of water and organic solvent can achieve effective separation. By selecting conditions for testing and studying the kinetics of lactide hydrolysis, extensive experiments revealed that lactide degradation can be treated as a pseudo-first-order reaction under the given HPLC conditions, and lactide content or purity can be quantitatively determined. This method is practical for measuring the purity of the intermediate lactide in polylactic acid (PLA) production and the lactide content in PLA.

Poly[[(pentaethylenehexamine)manganese(II)] [hepta-mu-selenido-tritin(IV)]]: a tin-selenium net with remarkable flexibility

The title compound, {[Mn(C10H28N6)][Sn3Se7]}(n), consists of anionic (infinity){[Sn3Se7](2-)} layers interspersed by [Mn(peha)](2+) complex cations ( peha is pentaethylenehexamine). Pseudo-cubic (Sn3Se4) cluster units within each layer are held together to form a 6(3) net with a hole size of 8.74 x 13.87 angstrom. Weak N-H center dot center dot center dot Se interactions between the host inorganic frameworks and metal complexes extend the components into a three-dimensional network. The incorporation of metal complexes into the flexible anion layer dictates the distortion of the holes.

Two-Step Spin-Transition Iron(III) Compound with a Wide [High Spin-Low Spin] Plateau

A new iron(III) coordination compound exhibiting a two-step spin-transition behavior with a remarkably wide [HS-LS] plateau of about 45 K has been synthesized from a hydrazino Schiff-base ligand with an N,N,O donor set, namely 2-methoxy-6-(pyridine-2-ylhydrazonomethyl) phenol (Hmph). The single-crystal X-ray structure of the coordination compound {[Fe(mph)(2)](ClO4)(MeOH)(0.5)(H2O)(0.5)}(2) (1) determined at 150 K reveals the presence of two slightly different iron(III) centers in pseudo-octahedral environments generated by two deprotonated tridentate mph ligands. The presence of hydrogen bonding interactions, instigated by the well-designed ligand, may justify the occurrence of the abrupt transitions. 1 has been characterized by temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements, EPR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and Fe-51 Mossbauer spectroscopy, which all confirm the occurrence of a two-step transition. In addition, the iron(III) species in the high-spin state has been trapped and characterized by rapid cooling EPR studies.

Phase Behavior and dewetting for polymer blend films studied by in situ AFM and XPS: From thin to ultrathin films

In this work, the film thickness (l(0)) effect on the phase and dewetting behaviors of the blend film of poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly (styrene-ran-acrylonitrile) (PMMA/SAN) has been studied by in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The thinner film shows the more compatibility of the blend, and the phase separation of the film occurs at l(0) > 5R(g) (radius of gyration). An initially time-independent q*, the characteristic wavenumber of the phase image, which is in good agreement of Cahn's linearized theory for the early stage of spinodal decomposition, has been obtained in real space and discussed in detail. For 5R(g) > l(0) > 3R(g), a "pseudo-dewetting/(phase separation + wetting)" behavior occurs, where the pseudo-wetting is driven by the concentration fluctuation mechanism. For 10 < 3R(g), a "real dewetting/(phase separation + wetting)" behavior occurs.

Evaluation of a sequential extraction for the speciation of thorium in soils from Baotou area, Inner Mongolia

Sequential extraction procedures were widely applied for speciation of radioactive elements. In this study, the sequential extraction procedure developed by Martinez-Aguirre was employed for quantification of different chemical forms of thorium in the soil. The total amount of thorium in contaminated soil was much higher by four-fold than the local background value. The soil properties affect the amount of thoriurn and distribution of fractions in contaminated soil. Results showed that the proportion of thorium in soils from Baotou was found as the residual fraction (F5 + F6) > absorbed fraction (F3), coprecipitated fraction (F4) > carbonates fraction (172) and exchangeable fraction (F1) that could be available to plants. The recovery, calculated by ratio of the sum of the six fractions to the pseudo-total content of thorium, was in the range from 96% to 110%. A comparison was carried out between the sequential extraction and the single extraction to evaluate the selectivity of the extractants. It was found that the amount of thorium of absorbed fraction (H) was higher in the single extraction than that estimated in the sequential extraction, possibly duo to transform of the labile form. While for non-residual fraction analysis, the single extraction scheme was a desirable alternative to the sequential extraction procedure.
