Focusing properties of concentric piecewise cylindrical vector beam

The focusing properties of a concentric piecewise cylindrical vector beam is investigated theoretically in this paper. The beam consists of three portions with different and changeable phase retardation and polarization. Numerical simulations show that the evolution of the focal shape is very considerable by changing the radius and polarization rotation angle of each portion of the vector beam. And some interesting focal spots may occur, such as two- or three-peak focus, dark hollow focus, ring focus, and two-ring-peak focus. Corresponding gradient force patterns are also computed, and novel trap patterns, including cup shell shape trap with one trap at its each side along axis, rectangle shell shape trap with one trap at its each side, dumbbell optical trap, spherical shell optical trap, may occur, which shows that the concentric piecewise cylindrical vector beam can be used to construct controllable optical tweezers.

水稻花发育相关基因RA68和OsUBP1的分离与功能分析

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　第一部分 利用减法杂交和RACEs从水稻中克隆了一个编码含有脯氨酸和苏氨酸丰富结构域多肽的cDNA,其相应的基因被命名为RA68。RA68由3个外显子和2个内含子组成，编码的蛋白由219个氨基酸残基组成。该蛋白由一个21个氨基酸残基组成的信号肽，一个亲水性的N－端结构域和一个疏水性的C－端结构域组成。 N端结构域是一段嵌合PTPTSYG motif的富含脯氨酸和苏氨酸的序列。 Southern杂交和序列分析结果表明RA68在水稻基因组中以单拷贝存在，定位于第2号染色体。Northern杂交结果表明RA68在幼芽和花中表达量较高，在根和叶中不表达。原位杂交分析结果表明：在幼苗期RA68 主要在幼芽胚芽鞘的内外层细胞和幼叶原基的表层细胞中表达;转入生殖生长期后，在花序分生组织、枝梗原基顶端、花器官原基、大孢子囊和花粉粒中表达。用GFP作报告基因，用洋葱表皮细胞进行的瞬间表达测试结果显示RA68蛋白定位于细胞核中。转反义RA68水稻植株抽穗期比对照野生型延迟30天左右。这些结果表明RA68可能是水稻花分生组织特征基因，在成花转变过程中起作用。 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　第二部分 通过RACE和RT-PCR方法分离了水稻OsUBP1基因，其推测编码蛋白含有UBP结构域（Cys Box和His Box）和TopⅥA结构域。RT-PCR分析结果表明OsUBP1在转录过程中通过可变剪接产生多个不同的转录本，这些转录本在叶、根、颖花和幼芽中存在着时空调节表达模式，每种组织中的转录本是不一样的。这些转录本内含子剪切位点除了经典的GT-AG外，还有GC-AG、CT-AC、TT-GA、GT-GA和CT-GA。由于发生了GC-AG的可变剪切产生了OsUBP1的重要功能结构域Cys Box。水稻OsUBP1基因和OsSPO11-1基因位于11号染色体的同一基因座位上。原位杂交分析表明，在花中OsUBP1 mRNA 主要在药壁绒毡层、花粉粒、大孢子囊和颖花底部维管束中表达。转反义OsUBP1植株大多不能正常结实，这说明OsUBP1可能参与水稻的育性调节。 关键词

DIFFERENT RATES OF MITOCHONDRIAL-DNA SEQUENCE EVOLUTION IN KIRK DIK-DIK (MADOQUA-KIRKII) POPULATIONS

We have investigated evolutionary rates of the mitochondrial genome among individuals of Madoqua kirkii using the relative rate test. Our results demonstrate that individuals of two chromosome races, East African cytotype A and Southwest African cytotype D, evolve about 2.3 times faster than East African cytotype B. Cytogenetic changes, DNA repair efficiency, mutagens, and more likely, hitherto unrecognized factors will account for the rate difference we have observed. Our results suggest additional caution when using molecular clocks in the estimation of divergence time, even within lineages of closely related taxa. Rate heterogeneity in microevolutionary timescales represents a potentially important aspect of basic evolutionary processes and may provide additional insights into factors which affect genome evolution.

Temperature- and salinity-dependent development of a Nordic strain of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis from rainbow trout

During the twentieth century evidence was presented which suggested the presence of various strains and races of the parasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis Fouquet. However, ecological profiles of various parasite isolates from different climatic zones are sparse. Such stringent characterizations of parasite development at defined abiotic conditions could provide valuable criteria for the different races: profile comparison from various localities is one way to differentiate these strains. Baseline investigations were therefore performed on the associations between abiotic factors (temperature/salinity) and the development of theronts in tomocysts of I. multifiliis isolated from rainbow trout in a Danish trout farm. It was shown that tomocyst formation and theront development took place between 5 and 30degreesC. Development rates and sizes of theronts were clearly affected by temperature: theronts escaped tomocysts already after 16-27 h at 25degreesC and 30degreesC, whereas this process took 8-9 days at 5degreesC. Likewise, theront size decreased steadily from a maximum of 57.4 x 28.6 mum at 5degreesC to 28.6 x 20.0 mum at 30degreesC. This size variation was only partly associated with the number of theronts that appeared at different temperatures. The lowest number of theronts escaping from one tomocyst was indeed found at 5-7degreesC (mean 329-413). At 11.6, 17.0 and 21degreesC. the highest number of theronts appeared (mean 546-642). However, at 25 and 30degreesC, the number decreased (458 and 424, respectively). Additional studies on the salinity dependent development of the parasite (at 11.6degreesC) showed that salinities above 5 p.p.t. totally inhibited development. Even at 5 p.p.t. the developmental time significantly increased and the number of theronts produced from one tomocyst decreased.

Evolution of Ge and SiGe quantum dots under excimer laser annealing

We present different relaxation mechanisms of Ge and SiGe quantum dots under excimer laser annealing. Investigation of the coarsening and relaxation of the dots shows that the strain in Ge dots on Ge films is relaxed by dislocation since there is no interface between the Ge dots and the Ge layer, while the SiGe dots on Si0.77Ge0.23 film relax by lattice distortion to coherent clots, which results from the obvious interface between the SiGe clots and the Si0.77Ge0.23 film. The results are suggested and sustained by Vanderbilt and Wickham's theory, and also demonstrate that no bulk diffusion oGeurs during the excimer laser annealing.
