Ga1-xMnxSb grown on GaSb substrate by liquid phase epitaxy

The Gal(1-x)Mn(x)Sb epilayer was prepared on the n-type GaSb substrate by liquid phase epitaxy. The structure of the Gal(1-x)Mn(x)Sb epilayer was analyzed by double-crystal X-ray diffraction. From the difference of the lattice constant between the GaSb substrate and the Ga1-xMnxSb epilayer, the Mn content in the Ga1-xMnxSb epilayer were calculated as x = 0.016. The elemental composition of Ga1-xMnxSb epilayer was analyzed by energy dispersive spectrometer. The carrier concentration was obtained by Hall measurement. The hole concentration in the Ga1-xMnxSb epilayer is 4.06 x 10(19)cm(-3). It indicates that most of the Mn atoms in Ga1-xMnxSb take the site of Ga, and play a role of acceptors. The current-voltage curve of the Ga1-xMnxSb/GaSb heterostructure was measured, and the rectifying effect is obvious. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

北方农牧交错区土地利用（管理）方式对土壤氮素转化的影响

土壤氮素矿化是陆地生态系统氮素转化的重要组成部分。不同的土地利用（管理）方式会改变土壤氮素转化过程，影响土壤肥力的保持，进而可能造成土壤内氮素渗漏流失。为系统了解内蒙古农牧交错区土壤氮素转化的特点，本实验采用原位培养顶盖埋管法进行野外培养，每间隔一个月定期取样，于2004年7月-2006年10月在植物所恢复生态学实验站进行了两个试验，1：选择农牧交错区四种有代表性的土地类型（围封样地：FS，放牧样地：GS，弃耕地：AF，和农田：CF），比较土地利用方式之间氮素矿化的异同;2：在施肥样地通过不同施肥处理(F0: 1g N m-2, F1: 1g N m-2, F2: 2g N m-2, F3: 4g N m-2, F4: 8g N m-2, F5: 16g N m-2, F6: 32g N m-2, F7: 64g N m-2) 的土壤氮素转化动态，确定过度放牧的典型草原围封禁牧后，植被恢复过程中最适宜的施肥量。主要结论如下： 1. 与试验初期相比，整个非生长季围封样地、弃耕地和农田的铵态氮和无机氮含量逐渐降低，培养结束时铵态氮含量分别减少了67.04％，77.31％和70.54％，而放牧地的含量增加1.63％。围封样地、放牧地、弃耕地和农田的硝态氮含量分别增加了61.61%，376.43%，199.75%和133.16%。非生长季四种土地类型的土壤氮素转化速率主要受温度影响。围封样地、放牧地、弃耕地和农田非生长季矿化速率均值分别为-0.016，0.0429，-0.0051和-0.0030 μg g-1 d-1。硝化速率均值变幅为-0.43-0.17 μg g-1d-1。 2. 与没有冷冻而融化的土壤相比，冻融显著影响土壤无机氮含量的变化。只有在较低的土壤温度条件下冷冻以后，融化才会促进土壤氮素矿化。不同的冷冻时间长度下融化均会促进土壤硝化速率。土壤温度、土壤含水量变化是影响氮素转化速率的重要因子。 3. 四种土地类型的年日均矿化速率为放牧样地>农田>弃耕地>围封样地，分别为0.25，0.11，0.10，0.06μg g-1d-1，其年平均速率分别为11.65，5.50，5.00和2.46g m-2 y-1，而年日平均硝化速率分别为0.27，0.095，0.097和0.05μg g-1d-1。其中生长季日均矿化速率和日均硝化速率均为其年日均速率的两倍。因此，生长季形成的矿化氮是全年的93％，而形成的硝态氮占全年的86％。四种土地类型年均矿化氮的累积量平均为615.04 kg ha-1，而硝化作用的累积量变幅为230.44-1218.86 kg ha-1。四种土地类型的矿化速率和硝化速率的季节动态变化与气候因子的变化一致。 4. 不同施肥处理对典型草原土壤氮素转化均有显著影响。与对照相比，少量施肥（F1，F2）土壤铵态氮，硝态氮和无机氮含量分别减少20.57％，11.18％和17.18％。当施肥量大于F4（8g N m-2）时，随施肥量增加土壤铵态氮，硝态氮和无机氮含量增加18％-1191％。除F5（16g N m-2）外，与对照相比，随施肥量增加，土壤矿化速率增加了5-21倍。4 g N m-2 (F3)左右是典型草原生态系统比较合适的施肥量。 5. 氨气挥发速率的季节动态特征与气象因子的变化一致，其速率变幅为17.65 - 1228.39µg m-2 d-1，其中7月挥发量占全年的37％。与对照相比，少量施肥氨气挥发速率降低了1-2％，施肥量大于F3 (4g N m-2)，速率增加了1-4倍。实验期间总的流失量变幅为23.76-84.91mg m-2，而且通过氨气挥发流失量低于土壤全氮的3%。氨气挥发不是典型草原过量氮素流失的主要方式。 6. 氮素限制的典型草原，植被恢复过程中外源氮素添加阈值为：4 g N m-2 (F3)。与对照相比，短期施肥（3年）不会显著影响根系碳储量和土壤碳氮储量。施肥处理的土壤硝态氮和无机氮含量显著增加，说明施肥显著刺激硝化作用。典型草原60%植物根系主要分布在地下0-10cm，这里的碳储量占地下储量（0-50cm）的63%以上。随土壤深度增加，土壤全氮，全碳，无机氮储量降低。而铵态氮储量和可利用的无机氮含量随土壤深度增加，说明植物根系主要吸收利用上层可利用氮素，而且下层氮素矿化速率降低。

Alpha-momorcharin inhibits HIV-1 replication in acutely but not chronically infected T-lymphocytes

AIM: To identify the anti-human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) activities of alpha-momorcharin ( alpha-MMC) from Momordica charantia in acutely and chronically infected lymphocytes. METHODS: The anti-HIV activities of alpha-MMC were examined by 1) the inhibition of syncytia formation induced by HIV-1 III B; 2) reduction of p24 core antigen expression level and decrease in numbers of HIV antigen positive cells in acutely and chronically infected cultures. The cytotoxic effects of alpha-MMC was tested by trypan blue dye exclusion or colorimetric MTT assay. RESULTS: alpha-MMC was found to obviously inhibit HIV-1 III B-inducing C8166 syncytia formation and markedly reduced both expression of p24 core antigen and the numbers of HIV antigen positive cells in acutely but not chronically HTV-1-infected culture. The median effective concentration (EC50) in these assays were 0.016, 0.07, and 0.32 mg.L-1, respectively. CONCLUSION: alpha-MMC is a unique component of momorcharin with anti-HIV activity, and markedly inhibited HIV-1 replication in acutely but not chronically HIV-1-infected T-lymphocytes.

Assessment of estrogenic activity of leachate from automobile tires with two in vitro bioassays

In this study, a combination of enzyme-linked receptor assay (ELRA) and yeast estrogen screen (YES) assay was firstly applied to determine whether automobile tires immersed in fresh water can leach chemicals, which display estrogenic activity. We optimized ELRA substituting the chromogene substrate by a luminescent one, and found that luminescent ELBA was more sensitive to 17 beta-estradiol (17 beta-E2) with a detection limit of 0.016 mu g/l, compared to 0.088 mu g/l in the chromogene version. In ELRA, all tire leachates obviously showed estrogenic activity, which was increased with duration of immersion. Moreover, the leachate from hackled tires showed more potent estrogenicity than that from the whole ones. In comparison to ELRA, no detectable estrogenic activity was found in all tire leachates with YES assay. The results from YES assay further evidenced that antiestrogenic compounds can be leached from tires. As tire leachates contain estrogenic compounds, they could be important pollution sources, potentially harmful to wildlife and human health. Thus, use of shredded tires as road fill or in landfill sites should arouse our attention.

Attenuation of photosynthetically available radiation by chlorophyll, chromophoric dissolved organic matter, and tripton in lake Donghu, China

The attenuation coefficient of photosynthetically available radiation [K-d(PAR)] and three water quality parameters [chlorophyll a (chl a)], chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and tripton] were measured at three stations in shallow, subtropical Lake Donghu from April 2003 to March 2004. The multiple regression equation of K-d(PAR) versus chl a, CDOM, and tripton was: K-d(PAR) = 0.44 + 0.019 chl a + 1.88 CDOM + 0.016 tripton, which revealed the relative contributions of the three parameters to K-d(PAR). The effects of water and CDOM on K-d(PAR) were of minor importance (19-26%), while chl a and tripton were the two greatest contributors, accounting collectively for 74-81%.

Growth Parameter Dependence of Structural Characterizations of Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor (Ga, Cr)As

We report the influence of growth parameters and post-growth annealing on the structural characterizations and magnetic properties of (Ga, Cr)As films. The crystalline quality and magnetic properties are sensitive to the growth conditions. The single-phase (Ga, Cr)As film with the Curie temperature of 10 K is synthesized at growth temperature T-s = 250 degrees C and with nominal Cr content x = 0.016. However, for the films with x > 0.02, the aggregation of Cr atoms is strongly enhanced as both T. and x increase, which not only brings strong compressive strain in the epilayer, but also roughens the surface. The origin of room-temperature ferromagnetism in (Ga, Cr)As films with nanoclusters is also discussed.

Photovoltage and photoreflectance spectroscopy of InAs/GaAs self-organized quantum dots

We present a detailed study of the interband excitonic transitions of InAs/GaAs self-organized quantum dots (QDs) based on photovoltage (PV) photoreflectance (PR) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. At room temperature, the interband absorption transitions of QDs have been observed by using PV spectrum, which clearly exhibits four well-resolved excitonic absorption peaks. The absorption line shape is Gaussian-like. Furthermore, the corresponding excitonic transitions are also observed in PR experiment at 77 K. The first derivative of a Gaussian profile can fit the experimental data well. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(98)00743-8]

华北典型旱地土壤氮素周转与主要微生物过程研究

微生物介导的氮素矿化作用、硝化作用和反硝化作用等，在土壤氮素循环中起着重要作用。微生物群落作为基本功能单位决定着这些微生物过程的进程，因此，土壤微生物多样性研究是土壤氮素循环研究领域中一个至关重要的内容。作为重要的农业管理方式，施肥和灌溉对土壤微生物群落及其功能有着重要影响。本论文以山西运城“中澳粮食主产区水肥优化管理试验区”小麦-玉米轮作农田为试验地点，研究了传统和优化两种水肥管理方式下的土壤总矿化速率、总硝化速率、微生物量碳的变化，以及土壤细菌群落结构变化，并获得以下主要结果： （1）不同水肥管理方式下共计四个处理：传统施氮肥区（A-UN）、传统不施氮肥区（A-NN）、优化施氮肥区（B-UN）和优化不施肥区（B-NN）。传统水肥管理区的灌溉方式为漫灌，冬小麦生长期土壤施氮肥量为85.0kgN/ha，玉米生长期施氮肥量210kgN/ha。优化水肥管理区的灌溉方式为喷灌，冬小麦生长期土壤施氮肥量为120kgN/ha，玉米生长期施氮肥量为120kgN/ha。土壤样品采集时间分别为3月份冬小麦土壤施肥前和施肥后、5月份冬小麦孕穗期、6月份冬小麦收获期、7月份玉米抽雄期和9月份玉米收获期。 （2）在冬小麦生长期，无机氮肥的施入明显改变了优化水肥管理区土壤细菌群落结构，但未发现对传统水肥管理区土壤细菌群落结构的明显影响。在玉米生长期，无机氮肥的施入对两种水肥管理区土壤细菌群落结构影响均较小。在所有处理中，细菌群落结构有着明显的季节变化性，不同季节之间细菌群落结构变化较大。 （3）优化施氮肥处理中（B-UN）存在着丰富的氨氧化细菌，该土壤中的氨氧化细菌属于Nitrosospira，且都归于Nitrosospira cluster3。优化施氮肥处理中（B-UN）也存在着氨氧化古菌，但氨氧化古菌的类群比较单一，存在着一个绝对优势类群，测序结果表明此氨氧化古菌属于泉古菌门。在两个不同时期（3月和5月），氨氧化细菌的群落结构发生了较大变化，而氨氧化古菌的群落结构变化则很小。 （4）7月总矿化速率大于9月。氮肥的施入对矿化速率有激发效应，氮肥施入量越大，土壤氮素的总矿化速率越大。7月份土壤总矿化速率的大小顺序为传统施氮肥处理（A-UN）>优化施氮肥处理（B-UN）>优化不施肥处理（B-NN），速率介于2.59mgN/Kg干土.d-1与12.6 mgN/Kg干土. d-1之间。9月份土壤总矿化速率介于1.84 mgN/Kg干土.d-1 与2.28 mgN/Kg.d-1之间。土壤NH4+-N消耗速率与矿化速率极其显著正相关（R=0.914，p<0.001），与总硝化速率显著正相关（R=0.496，p<0.05），与NH4+-N浓度极其显著负相关（R=-0.803，p<0.001）。 （5）玉米田土壤总硝化速率一直处于非常低的水平，总硝化速率介于0.016 mgN/Kg干土.d-1-0.22 mgN/Kg干土.d-1之间。以7月优化施肥处理（B-UN）最高，为0.22 mgN/Kg干土.d-1。土壤NO3- N消耗速率与土壤NO3- N浓度极其显著正相关（R=0.845，p<0.001）。土壤硝化潜势远大于土壤总硝化速率，土壤硝化潜势介于52.47 mgN/Kg干土.d-1-80.87 mgN/Kg干土.d-1之间。 （6）土壤微生物量碳有着季节变化性，7月份土壤微生物量碳大于9月份土壤微生物量碳。施无机氮肥使传统水肥区土壤微生物量碳迅速降低，降低幅度为28.7%，但对优化水肥区微生物量碳没有影响。无机氮肥的施入使土壤微生物量碳趋向降低，降低幅度为26%左右，至9月份，施肥区土壤微生物量碳（A-UN和B-UN）小于不施肥区(A-UN和B-NN)，且优化水肥管理微生物量碳大于传统水肥管理微生物量碳，这表明传统水肥管理不利于土壤微生物量碳的积累。

吗啡给药及戒断期间大鼠眶额叶脑区功能活动特征户外环境下自由活动猕猴顶叶及海马神经元单位放电的胞外记录方法

已有的研究表明，眶额叶在解剖上与现在已知的药物滥用相关的脑区是紧密联系在一起的。例如，眶额叶在药物滥用和强迫性重复行为中起作用，且随着脑成像技术的应用，越来越多的证据表明眶额叶参与了药物滥用。但是我们并不了解在阿片给药和戒断期间眶额叶脑区活动是如何变化的。因此，我们在实验中采用了Mn2+增强的核磁共振成像（Manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance　imaging，MEMRI，4.7T）技术和脑电（EEG）记录的方法，以研究大鼠眶额叶在给与阿片类药物（盐酸吗啡）以及戒断过程中的动态变化。 MEMRI是一种近年才发展起来的新型技术。研究表明，Mn2+是Ca2+的类似物，可以通过Ca2+通道进入兴奋性的神经元里面并结合到胞内的蛋白质和核酸上的Ca2+和Mg2+结合位点上 (MILDVAN and COHN, 1963; EISINGER et al., 1965)。另外，Mn2+的顺磁性也为它成为核磁共振成像的造影剂提供了前提条件。可是成功应用MEMRI的前提就是要在适当的时间把合适剂量的Mn2+传递到靶点上。因此，Mn2+在注射到靶点后，是否能够在有效的时间内反映大脑活动的变化就成为一个非常重要并且在技术上较为棘手的问题。在给实验大鼠脑区微量注射Mn2+（80mMol/L，200nl）的同时，通过微量注射兴奋性神经递质谷氨酸（Glu 0.5mM/L）或抑制性递质γ-aminobutyric acid（GABA 0.5M/L）以改变靶点神经元兴奋性的方法，检测Mn2+能否反映脑区的活动变化。另外，我们随机选取实验动物，分别在注射Mn2+ 3小时、5小时和8小时后对三组大鼠（n=5）进行10％福尔马林灌流，并且通过观察大鼠眶额叶脑区Mn2+强度的变化来研究最佳的灌流时间。我们的实验结果表明，Mn2++Glu组的右侧脑区/左侧脑区的Mn2+亮度比Mn2+空白对照组增加了20％（p=0.016, student t-test, *p <0.05），也远大于Mn2++GABA组（p=0.047, *p<0.05）。结果表明，当神经元被兴奋的时候，较多的Mn2+可以通过Ca2+通道进入兴奋的神经元内，使得Mn2+的成像亮度增加。由于Mn2+成像亮度的增加可以反映神经元的兴奋活动，因此可以显示出靶点区的脑活动。另外，在研究灌流时间对Mn2+亮度影响的实验中发现，注射Mn2+ 5小时后灌流得到的信噪比分别比注射Mn2+3小时（p＝0.055）和8小时（p=0.004，*p<0.05）高出24％和32％。总之，我们采用微量注射Mn2+（80mM/L,200nl）后5小时用10%福尔马林心脏灌流的方法获得了较好的结果。另外在试验中我们首先观测了大鼠吗啡戒断后的行为学指标和检测大鼠戒断后条件化位置偏好的程度。实验结果表明大鼠可以建立非常明显的条件化位置偏好，但在湿狗抖等行为学指标上无明显症状。这说明大鼠对于吗啡(10mg/kg, 一天两次，持续12天)形成了明显的心理依赖而无明显的生理依赖。此外，MEMRI的结果表明，在吗啡给药的第1天和第6天，大鼠眶额叶的Mn2+强度与空白对照组相比有显著的降低( one-way ANOVA, Post Hoc Dunnett’s C Tests), F (6,28)=7.242, P<0.001)；而在戒断第3天又恢复到正常水平，在戒断第5天和第7天Mn2+强度跟空白对照组相比没有显著性差别(one-way ANOVA, *p<0.05)。脑电（EEG）的结果表明，急性吗啡诱导的gamma波段的EEG显著降低(Two-way ANOVA, F(1,10)=13.626,p=0.006)。然而在戒断第1天gamma波段的EEG与空白对照组相比是增加的。在戒断第3天和戒断第5天，gamma波段的EEG与空白对照组相比也有显著性增强。以上研究结果表明：大鼠眶额叶脑区的动态变化与整个吗啡给药和戒断过程是密切相关的；此外，MEMRI在探讨药物滥用以及成瘾等机制上有很大的应用前景。

Improved amplified spontaneous emission by doping of green fluorescent dye C545T in red fluorescent dye DCJTB : PS polymer films

Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) characteristics of a red fluorescent dye, 4-(dicy-anomethylene)-2-t-butyl-6(1,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidyl-9-enyl)-4H-pyran (DCJTB), and a green fluorescent dye, (10-(2-benzothiazolyl)-1,1,7,7-tetramethyl-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H,5H,11H-[1] benzopyrano [6,7,8-ij]quinohzin-11-one) (C545T) codoped polystyrene (PS) as the active medium were studied. It was found that the performance of ASE is greatly improved due to the introduction of C545T. By optimizing the concentrations of C545T and DCJTB in PS, an ASE threshold of 0.016 mJ pulse(-1), net gain of 52.71 cm(-1), and loss of 11.7 cm(-1) were obtained. The efficient Forster energy transfer from C545T to DCJTB was used to explain the improvement of the ASE performance in the coguest system.
