Appraisal of PD6493:1991 fracture assessment procedures

PD6493:1991 fracture assessment have been performed for a range of large-scale fracture mechanics tests conducted at TWI in the past. These tests cover several material groups, including pressure vessel steels, pipeline steels, stainless steels and aluminium alloys, including parent material and weldments. Ninety-two wide plate and pressure vessel tests have been assessed, following Levels 1, 2 and 3 PD6493:1991 procedures. In total, over 400 assessments have been performed, examining many features of the fracture assessment procedure including toughness input, proof testing, residual stress assumptions and stress state (tension, bending and biaxial). In all cases the large scale tests have been assessed as one would actual structures: i.e., based on lower bound toughness values obtained from small scale fracture toughness specimens.

Polyculture of freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, de Man with carps: effects of prawn stocking density

Effects of three stocking densities, viz., 35, 50 and 65/decimal (1 decimal = 40.48 m2) of juvenile freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) on prawn and fish production were tested in a polycuture system with silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), catla (Catla catla), Grass carp (Ctenophmyngodon idella) and silver barb (Barbodes gonionotus). The fish stocking density was 19/decimal with the species combination of silver carp-10, catlac-6, grass carp-1 and silver barb-2. In a 8-month culture period, the prawn yield 423 ± 144 kg/ha was significantly lower (P< 0.5) with the prawn stocking density of 35/decimal than that of 548 ± 178 kg/ha and 662 ± 243 kg/ha with 50 and 65/decimal respectively. The fish production (1844-1891 kg/ha) did not differ significantly (p <0.05) among the three treatments indicating that prawn stocking densities had no influence on fish yield. The lower mean harvest weight (62 g) and survival rate (67 g) and higher yield (2.67 kg/decimal) with the highest stocking rate of prawn reveals that as density was increased, prawn survival and individual weight at harvest decreased but total yield increased.

新疆有花背蟾蜍分布的再证实

2007年6～7月在新疆两栖类考察过程中，于乌鲁木齐北京五家渠市安宁渠镇附近(海拔1655 ft,N:44°01.705',E:87°30.763')采集到两种蟾蜍标本.

Phylogeographic analysis of mitochondrial DNA haplogroup F2 in China reveals T12338C in the initiation codon of the NDS gene not to be pathogenic

In this report, we studied on a homoplasmic T12338C change in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which substituted methionine in the translational initiation codon of the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 gene (ND5) with threonine. This nucleotide change was originall

Empowerment through filleting

Women’s labour adds value to the fish supply chain in Petatán, Mexico, and brings independence and hope to their lives. Located in the central-western part of the country, Lake Chapala is Mexico’s largest lake, and one of the many fishing villages bordering the lake is Petatán, with a population of only 423 inhabitants. However, what makes Petatán special is that most fish caught in Lake Chapala—tilapia and carp—as well as other water bodies in the region is processed here. There are no official statistics for how much fish is filleted and packed in ice every day, but Petatán houses the second largest fish processing industry in the region. The fish filleted here goes to El Mercado del Mar, the second largest fish market in the country, from where it is distributed to restaurants, smaller markets and other parts of the country.

不同世代改良型路南奶山羊血液免疫学参数的比较研究

本文测定了“改良型路南奶山羊”的亲本及改良不同世代 (F1,F2 ,F3,F4 )母羊的外周血T淋巴细胞转化率、ANAE阳性率、B淋巴细胞ZYC花环率、红细胞IC花环率、C3b花环率以及血清γ -球蛋白等免疫学参数 ,比较研究其随着世代增递的变异情况。结果表明 :从亲代到F4代随着改良世代的递增 ,T淋巴细胞转化率、ANAE阳性率、红细胞C3b花环率和IC花环率和血清γ -球蛋白含量均呈F1>F2 >P >F3>F4变化 ,ZYC花环率呈F1>P >F2 >F3>F4变化。回归分析的结果表明 :从亲代到改良四代 ,上述各项免疫学参数均呈显著负相关 ,趋势线为下降趋势。即随着世代的递增有逐代递减的趋势。结果提示 :用西农莎能羊改良路南圭山羊 ,其改良一代和二代的上述各项血液免疫学参数均略高于路南圭山羊 ,以后随着世代的递增有逐代递减的趋势。预示着随着世代的递增 ,改良型路南奶山羊的体质状况 ,免疫功能和抗病能力可能会出现下降趋势。

利用染色体涂染方法建立人和白眉长臂猿(Hylobates hoolock)的比较染色体图谱

自人与白眉长臂猿的祖先分歧以来,大量的染色体间重排(至少发生了39次易位)和染色体内的重排导致了二者核型的差异。根据杂交结果绘制了首份人和白眉长臂猿比较染色体图谱,并结合已有的人和白掌长臂猿(Hylobates lar)(2n=44)和合趾长臂猿(Hylobates syndactylus)(2n=50)的比较染色体图谱对长臂猿属的染色体进化作了初步探讨。
