滇西上芒岗红色粘土型金矿常量元素地球化学

西上芒岗红色粘土剖面中常量元素的垂向分布研究表明，K20、 03、Al203在剖面中的变化一致，呈双 峰曲线变化，即在坡积带稍有富集、在残积带明显富集；而SiOz与铁、铝等在剖面中的变化相反。红色粘土与 矿区地层和矿化蚀变岩的常量元素对比分析表明了红色粘土可能来源于地层和矿化蚀变岩。常量元素之间 的相关性以及常量元素与金的相关性分析表明K20、F 03、Al203在红色粘土中为共生元素；金的富集主要受红 色粘土中褐铁矿和伊利石的吸附影响。红土化参数分析说明了红色粘土剖面经历两次红土化作用，残积带相 对于其它带经受过较强的红土化作用，但整个红色粘土剖面遭受的红土化作用不强，红土化程度低。仅处于粘 土化阶段。

Algunos usos de la computadora en el aula

En los últimos años hemos sido partícipes de un explosivo desarrollo tecnológico; esto ha puesto en duda muchas de las prácticas docentes en los cursos de matemáticas. El advenimiento de la computadora con programas de manipulación simbólica, de graficación y simulación, hacen que muchas de las tareas usuales de un curso de cálculo, como derivar e integrar simbólicamente, se puedan resolver mediante la aplicación de estos paquetes. Esto cuestiona gravemente el rol del profesor y lleva ineludiblemente a una revisión curricular en donde se deben examinar los objetivos de los cursos de cálculo y determinar con precisión el contrato didáctico entre los participantes que son: el profesor, la tecnología y el estudiante. Cada propuesta presenta ventajas y desventajas en su uso, evidenciarlo es el objetivo del presente trabajo.

Measurement of oxygen storage capacity in automotive catalysts

There is considerable disagreement in the literature on available oxygen storage capacity, and on the reaction rates associated with the storage process, for three-way automotive catalysts. This paper seeks to address the issue of oxygen storage capacity in a clear and precise manner. The work described involved a detailed investigation of oxygen storage capacity in typical samples of automotive catalysts. The capacity has also been precisely defined and estimates have been made of the specific capacity based on catalyst dimensions. A purpose-built miniature catalyst test rig has been assembled to allow measurement of the capacity and the experimental procedure has been developed to ensure accurate measurement. The measurements from the first series of experiments have been compared with the theoretical calculations and good agreement is seen. A second series of experiments allowed the effect of temperature on oxygen storage capacity to be investigated. This work shows very clearly the large variation of the capacity with temperature.

Carbachol triggers RyR-dependent Ca(2+) release via activation of IP(3) receptors in isolated rat gastric myocytes.

Possible interactions between different intracellular Ca(2+) release channels were studied in isolated rat gastric myocytes using agonist-evoked Ca(2+) signals. Spontaneous, local Ca(2+) transients were observed in fluo-4-loaded cells with linescan confocal imaging. These were blocked by ryanodine (100 microM) but not by the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) blocker, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (100 microM), identifying them as Ca(2+) sparks. Caffeine (10 mM) and carbachol (10 microM) initiated Ca(2+) release at sites which co-localized with each other and with any Ca(2+) spark sites. In fura-2-loaded cells extracellular 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate and intracellular heparin (5 mg ml(-1)) both inhibited the global cytoplasmic [Ca(2+)] transient evoked by carbachol, confirming that it was IP(3)R-dependent. 2-Aminoethoxydiphenyl borate and heparin also increased the response to caffeine. This probably reflected an increased Ca(2+) store content since 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate more than doubled the amplitude of transients evoked by ionomycin. Ryanodine completely abolished carbachol and caffeine responses but only reduced ionomycin transients by 30 %, suggesting that blockade of carbachol transients by ryanodine was not simply due to store depletion. Double labelling of IP(3)Rs and RyRs demonstrated extensive overlap in their distribution. These results suggest that carbachol stimulates Ca(2+) release through co-operation between IP(3)Rs and RyRs, and implicate IP(3)Rs in the regulation of Ca(2+) store content.
