High-spin states in Pt-190

The level structure of Pt-190 has been studied experimentally using the Yb-176 (O-18, 4n) reaction at beam energies of 88 and 95 MeV. gamma-gamma-t coincidence measurements were carried out. Based on the analysis of gamma-gamma coincidence relationships, the level scheme of Pt-190 is extended to high-spin states. A new structure built on the 3413.6 keV 14(+) state has been observed, and the vi(13/2)(-2) vh(9/2)(-1) vj (j = p(3/2) or f(5/2)) configuration is tentatively assigned to it.

胶态Pt/C���化剂对甲醇的电催化氧化性能

研究了Pt金属载量为20%的碳载胶态Pt金属催化剂对甲醇的电催化氧化性能,并与E TEK公司同类型催化剂进行了比较。X衍射光谱(XRD)和透射电镜(TEM)研究显示在胶态Pt/C���化剂中,Pt粒子的平均粒径为3.8nm,并且具有良好的均一度。电化学研究显示:尽管胶态Pt/C���化剂拥有相对较小的电化学活性面积,但对甲醇的电催化氧化性能却明显优于E TEK公司的Pt/C���化剂,其原因应归结于利用有机溶胶法制得的胶态Pt/C���化剂拥有更合理的平均粒径。

增强UV-B辐射对暖温带落叶阔叶林下土庄绣线菊水分生理和氮素利用及形态特性的影响

在中国北方大部分地区，水分始终是影响植物生长和分布的最主要限制性因子之一，植物在其生长期经常遭受水分胁迫。不仅如此，随着大气同温层中臭氧浓度的减少，过量的有害紫外辐射（主要是UV-B，280nm-320nm）将穿透大气层达到地球表面。随着全球变化的加剧，这些地区的植物将不可避免地受UV-B和水分胁迫的共同作用。 本实验是在北京东灵山暖温带森林生态系统中，选择常见灌丛土庄绣线菊(Spiraea pubescens)，建立UV-B控制实验。连续三个生长季每天增补9.4kJ•m-2的辐射剂量，模拟臭氧衰减17%时近地表面UV-B辐射的增强。本实验的目的是观测在野外环境下，长时间人工增强UV-B辐射对土庄绣线菊水分生理、氮素利用以及形态特征的影响。具体对以下指标进行测定：叶片的气孔导度、碳同位素比率（δ13 C���、叶含水量、叶面积、水分利用效率（WUE）、叶全氮含量、叶氮素再吸收率。 实验结果表明，增强UV-B辐射显著减少了土庄绣线菊的叶面积（50.1%），提高了叶片全氮含量(102%)，处理植株的氮素再吸收率比对照植株高出50.9%。同时，UV-B辐射还在一定程度上（尽管统计显示不显著）降低了气孔导度(16.1%)、胞间CO2浓度与大气CO2浓度之比(Ci/Ca) (4.0%)、提高了碳同位素比率（δ13 C���(20.5‰)、叶含水量(3.1%)及比叶重（SLW）(5.2%)，从而导致水分利用效率（WUE）的增加(4.1%)，植物的抗旱能力增强。值得注意的是，深层土壤（30-40cm）含水量变化会影响气孔导度、δ13 C���WUE对紫外辐射的响应程度：在土壤干旱的季节（6月和9月），气孔导度、δ13 C���WUE这些指标处理和对照的差异很小，但是当土壤水分充足时（7月和8月），处理和对照的差异就较为显著。另外，随着实验处理时间的延长UV-B的效应变得不显著。相关分析表明，UV-B辐射降低了土壤含水量（30-40cm）与土庄绣线菊叶含水量、δ13 C���Ci/Ca���气孔导度的相关系数，增强了WUE与土壤含水量的相关性，这也许是由于UV-B辐射增强了WUE对土壤水分变化的敏感性。本研究的结果表明UV-B辐射对土庄绣线菊的形态和生长有显著的影响，但对主要水分生理指标影响不显著。

外源草酸对采后果实的保鲜效应及其生理机理研究

本文以桃(Prunus persica L. cv. Bayuecui.)栽培种‘八月脆’和芒果（Mangifera indica L.）栽培种‘圣心’为材料，研究外源草酸对采后果实的生理生化效应及其作用机理，为果实贮藏保鲜提供新方法。采后桃果实用1、5 mM的草酸溶液浸果10 min，以浸水10 min为对照，然后在常温下贮藏，测定果实在贮藏期间对草酸处理的一些生理生化反应。芒果经采后杀菌剂（post- P）、采后草酸（post-OA���、采前＋采后草酸（pre-OA + post-OA���、采前Ca ＋ 采后草酸处理（pre-Ca + post-OA���处理，以采后浸水为对照，然后分别将果实在常温(25 C)、低温（14 C���和控制性气调（3% CO2 + 2% O2 ，14 ± 1 C���下贮藏，测定草酸处理对芒果的成熟进程、病情发展及其相关生理指标的影响。研究结果表明如下： 1．与对照相比，草酸处理的桃果实在贮藏期间果实的电解质渗漏量和呼吸速率降低、果实硬度高、果实的抗氧化酶（超氧化物岐化酶、SOD;过氧化物酶，POD;过氧化氢酶、CAT;抗坏血酸过氧化物酶、APX）和多酚氧化酶（PPO）活性提高、脂氧合酶（LOX）活性降低。同时，在贮藏后期，果实的活性氧自由基（ROS）产量（超氧阴离子、O2.;过氧化氢、H2O2)和丙二醛（MDA���含量降低。草酸的这些生理效应有利于保持膜的完整性和延缓桃果实的成熟;草酸诱导POD、SOD、PPO活性可能有助于提高采后果实的抗病性。 2．外源5、10 mM浓度的草酸（pH值中和或不中和）对芒果炭疽病原菌（Colletotrichum gloeosporioides）孢子萌发和菌丝生长均表现出显著的抑制作用。这种作用不仅与草酸降低培养基（PDA���的pH值相关，而且与草酸独特的化学特性相关。 3．在常温、低温和控制性气调贮藏下，采后草酸、采前 + 采后草酸、采前Ca + 采后草酸处理均能有效减缓芒果果实的软化速率，延缓芒果的成熟进程，降低芒果的病情指数，同时改善芒果成熟时的表皮着色，对果实完全后熟时的可溶性固形物（SSC���、可滴定酸（TA���含量、果肉口感均没有产生负面的影响。 4．草酸处理增强芒果细胞膜的稳定性，诱导提高芒果抗氧化酶活性，特别是提高果皮SOD、APX活性，降低LOX活性，以及降低果皮O2.、H2O2 和果肉H2O2含量，抑制采后果实的乙烯生物合成。这些生理生化效应与延缓芒果的成熟衰老和提高果实的抗病性相关。 5． 采后草酸、采前 + 采后草酸和采前Ca + 采后草酸处理表现出高效低廉、无毒无副作用、易操作等优点，是芒果采后贮藏保鲜的可供选、具有实际应用前景的新方法。

Experimental study of trophic cascade effect of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrixon) in a subtropical lake, Lake Donghu: on plankton community and underlying mechanisms of changes of crustacean community

An enclosure experiment was carried out to test trophic cascade effect of filter-feeding fish on the ecosystem: growth of crustacean zooplankton, and possible mechanism of changes of crustacean community structure. Four fish biomass levels were set as follows: 0, 116, 176 and 316 g m(-2), and lake water ( containing ca. 190 g m(-2) of filter-feeding fishes) was comparatively monitored. Nutrient levels were high in all treatments during the experiment. Lowest algal biomass were measured in fishless treatment. Algal biomass decreased during days 21-56 as a function of fish biomass in treatments of low (LF), medium (MF) and high (HF) fish biomass. Crustaceans biomass decreased with increasing fish biomass. Small-bodied cladocerans, Moina micrura, Diaphanosoma brachyurum and Scapholeberis kingii survived when fish biomass was high whilst, large-bodied cladocerans Daphnia spp. and the cyclopoids Theromcyclops taihokuensis, T. brevifuratus, Mescyclops notius and Cyclops vicinus were abundant only in NF enclosures. Evasive calanoid Sinodiaptomus sarsi was significantly enhanced in LF, but decreased significantly with further increase of fish biomass. Demographic data indicated that M. micrura was well developed in all treatments. Our study indicates that algal biomass might be controlled by silver carp biomass in eutrophic environment. Changes of crustacean community are probably affected by the age of the first generation of species. Species with short generation time were dominant and species with long generation time survived less with high fish biomass. Evasive calanoids hardly developed in treatments with high fish biomass because of the ( bottle neck) effect of nauplii. Species abundance were positively related to fish predation avoidance. Other than direct predation, zooplankton might also be suppressed by filter-feeding fish via competition.

On the acid-base stability of Keggin Al-13 and Al-30 polymers in polyaluminum coagulants

The acid-base stabilities of Al-13 and Al-30 in polyaluminum coagulants during aging and after dosing into water were studied systematically using batch and flow-through acid-base titration experiments. The acid decomposition rates of both Al-13 and Al-30 increase rapidly with the decrease in solution pH. The acid decompositions of Al-13 and Al-30 with respect to H+ concentration are composed of two parallel first-order and second-order reactions, and the reaction orders are 1.169 and 1.005, respectively. The acid decomposition rates of Al-13 and Al-30 increase slightly when the temperature increases from 20 to ca. 35 A degrees C, but decrease when the temperature increases further. Al-30 is more stable than Al-13 in acidic solution, and the stability difference increases as the pH decreases. Al-30 is more possible to become the dominant species in polyaluminum coagulants than Al-13. The acid catalyzed decomposition and followed by recrystallization to form bayerite is one of the main processes that are responsible for the decrease of Al-13 and Al-30 in polyaluminum coagulants during storage. The deprotonation and polymerization of Al-13 and Al-30 depend on solution pH. The hydrolysis products are positively charged, and consist mainly of repeated Al-13 and Al-30 units rather than amorphous Al(OH)(3) precipitates. Al-30 is less stable than Al-13 upon alkaline hydrolysis. Al-13 is stable at pH < 5.9, while Al-30 lose one proton at the pH 4.6-5.75. Al-13 and Al-30 lose respective 5 and 10 protons and form [Al-13] (n) and [Al-30] (n) clusters within the pH region of 5.9-6.25 and 5.75-6.65, respectively. This indicates that Al-30 is easier to aggregate than Al-13 at the acidic side, but [Al-13] (n) is much easier to convert to Alsol-gel than [Al-30] (n) . Al-30 possesses better characteristics than Al-13 when used as coagulant because the hydrolysis products of Al-30 possess higher charges than that of Al-13, and [Al-30] (n) clusters exist within a wider pH range.

Synthesis and self-assembly of a novel Y-shaped copolymer with a helical polypeptide arm

novel biodegradable Y-shaped copolymer, poly(L-lactide)(2)-b-poly(gamma-benzyl-L-glutamic acid) (PLLA(2)-b-PBLG), was synthesized by the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of N-carboxyanhydride of gamma-benzyl-L-glutamate (BLG-NCA) with centrally amino-functionalized poly(L-lactide), PLLA(2)-NH2, as a macroinitiator in a convenient way. The Y-shaped copolymer and its precursors were characterized by H-1 NMR, FT-IR, GPC, WAXD and DSC measurements. The self-assembly of the PLLA(2)-b-PBLG copolymer in toluene and benzyl alcohol was examined. It was found that the self-assembly of the copolymer was dependent on solvent and on relative length of the PBLG block. For a copolymer with PLLA blocks of 26 in total degree of polymerization (DP), if the PBLG block was long enough (e.g., DP = 54 or more), the copolymer/toluene solution became a transparent gel at room temperature. In benzyl alcohol Solution, only PLLA(2)-b-PBLG containing ca. 190 BLG residues could form a gel: those with shorter PBLG blocks (e.g., DP = 54) became nano-scale fibrous aggregates and these aggregates were dispersed in benzyl alcohol homogeneously.

Superhydrophobic PTFE surfaces by extension

A rather simple but yet effective way to achieve a superhydrophobic film by extending a Teflon film is proposed. The water contact angle can be increased from 118 to 165degrees by extending to ca. 190%. The fibrous crystals and the increasing distance between the fibrous crystals are believed responsible for the high water-contact angle. It indicates that the density of the aligned microstructures is very important for the superhydrophobicity.

高原湖泊沉积物碳酸盐稳定同位素及孔隙水碳酸盐体系地球化学研究

在沉积物早期成岩作用过程中，扩散、对流和化学反应等动力学因素共同影响着孔隙水的化学平衡性质，使孔隙水在水－沉积物界面附近出现方解石不饱和现象，而在深部却呈饱和状态。从云贵高原的洱海、泸沽湖和红枫湖等湖泊的研究可以发现：在方解石不饱和带中，孔隙水的HCO_3~-和Ca~(2+)的浓度梯度比值大于理论值（1.34），HCO_3~-和Ca~(2+)的垂直分布可以用非线性常微分方程组（3-10）来描述。对寄宿时间较长的非封闭湖泊，沉积物碳酸盐的C���O稳定同位素变化特征可以用δ~（13）C-δ~（13）O模式图表示出来；特别当输入寄宿时间与蒸发寄宿时间的比值较大时，随沉积深度的不同，碳酸盐的δ~（13）C���δ~（13）O值可能呈正相关波动变化，其δ~（13）O能够反映了湖区气温变化的特征。
