多效唑（MET）是一种新型的植物生长调节剂．本文以多杆多穗青饲玉米为材料详细地研究了它征组织培养中的作用和生物学效应，并对它的作用机理也进行了初步的探讨。 研究结果表明：(1)适宜浓度的MET能够提高不同外植体愈伤组织的诱导率;(2)2～4 mg／lMET能改善愈伤组织的质量，提高愈伤组织的分化率、绿苗形成率、根的形成率和正常苗／异常苗的比值;（3）壮苗培养，MEP能使再生苗形态结构和生理等方面均发生较大的变化，并使其生长健壮，根系发达，移裁入土后成活率提高，达80%以上;（4）在再生苗的长期保存中，MET也具有良好的作用效应;(5)在继代培养中，MET处理后，愈伤组织的生长值下降;过氧化物酶活性和IAA氧化酶活性增加， 内源乙烯的释放量上升;外源GA3可逆转MET的作用效应，IAA、kt、ABA没有逆转效应，相反，ABA与MET对抑制愈防组织的生长具有加成效应．MET的作用机班可能是：通过改变细胞内酶的活性和内源激素的含量水平来控制愈伤组织细胞的生长、分化以及再生植株的生长和发育。 MET在玉米组培中所表现出的良好的作用效应表明：对于解决植物组织培养中所普遍存在的一些问题，用MET处理可能会变成一种有效的方法。展示出MET在植物生物技术领域也具有广泛的应用前景。

Catastrophic Rupture Induced Damage Coalescence in Heterogeneous Brittle Media

In heterogeneous brittle media, the evolution of damage is strongly influenced by the multiscale coupling effect. To better understand this effect, we perform a detailed investigation of the damage evolution, with particular attention focused on the catastrophe transition. We use an adaptive multiscale finite-element model (MFEM) to simulate the damage evolution and the catastrophic failure of heterogeneous brittle media. Both plane stress and plane strain cases are investigated for a heterogeneous medium whose initial shear strength follows the Weibull distribution. Damage is induced through the application of the Coulomb failure criterion to each element, and the element mesh is refined where the failure criterion is met. We found that as damage accumulates, there is a stronger and stronger nonlinear increase in stress and the stress redistribution distance. The coupling of the dynamic stress redistribution and the heterogeneity at different scales result in an inverse cascade of damage cluster size, which represents rapid coalescence of damage at the catastrophe transition.

Crack propagation in structures subjected to periodic excitation

In the present paper, a simple mechanical model is developed to predict the dynamic response of a cracked structure subjected to periodic excitation, which has been used to identify the physical mechanisms in leading the growth or arrest of cracking. The structure under consideration consists of a beam with a crack along the axis, and thus, the crack may open in Mode I and in the axial direction propagate when the beam vibrates. In this paper, the system is modeled as a cantilever beam lying on a partial elastic foundation, where the portion of the beam on the foundation represents the intact portion of the beam. Modal analysis is employed to obtain a closed form solution for the structural response. Crack propagation is studied by allowing the elastic foundation to shorten (mimicking crack growth) if a displacement criterion, based on the material toughness, is met. As the crack propagates, the structural model is updated using the new foundation length and the response continues. From this work, two mechanisms for crack arrest are identified. It is also shown that the crack propagation is strongly influenced by the transient response of the structure.

Short-range-order effects on intrinsic plasticity of metallic glasses

Through a systematical analysis of the elastic moduli for 137 metallic glasses (MGs) and 56 polycrystalline metals, we use a simple model developed by Knuyt et al. [J. Phys. F: Met. Phys. 16 (1986) p.1989; Phil. Mag. B 64 (1991) p.299] based on a Gaussian distribution for the first-neighbor distance to reveal the short-range-order (SRO) structural conditions for plasticity of MGs. It is found that the SRO structure with dense atomic packing, large packing dispersion and a significant anharmonicity of atomic interaction within an MG is favorable for its global plasticity. Although these conditions seem paradoxical, their perfect matching is believed to be a key for designing large plastic bulk MGs not only in compression but also in tension.

Laser-induced damage morphology of high-reflective optical coatings

Two different kinds of 1064 nm high-reflective (HR) coatings, with and without SiO2 protective layer, were prepared by electron beam evaporation. Three-dimensional damage morphology, caused by a Nd:YAG pulsed laser, was investigated for these HR coatings. Development of laser-induced damage on HR coatings was revealed by both temperature field calculation and discrete meso-element simulation. Theoretical results met experimental very well.
