The seasonal variations of sea level due to density variations in the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman

From the distribution of oceanographic data (temperature and salinity) in both Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, the steric components (thermal, haline and steric heights) are calculated for the upper 50m layer during different seasons. The analysis reveals relevant evidence, that temperature variations (thermal component) play a role in the fluctuations of sea level within the investigated area. The salinity variations (haline component) is only significant near the entrance. The sea level variations due to density (steric component) is low during winter and spring and high during summer and autumn. The steric height is always lower in the northern and central regions of Arabian Gulf and higher in eastern region of Arabian Gulf and in the Gulf of Oman, i.e. the surface water must flow from the Gulf of Oman to the Arabian Gulf. The steric sea level gradient around the Strait of Hormuz are 0.04 cm/km in winter, 0.04 cm/km in spring, and 0.025 cm/km in summer and 0.014 cm/km in autumn.

Morphometrics, length-weight relationship and condition of Rastrineobola argentea (Pellegrin 1904) in the Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria (Kenya)

Correlation between total length (TL), fork length (FL) and standard length (SL) of Raslrineobola argentea (pellegrin 1904) in the Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria indicate that FL = 0.92 TL - 0.74 and SL = 0.90 TL - 1.74. Length-weight relationship of log-transformed data shows that the slopes of the regression lines were 3.06 to 3.22 for juveniles, 2.70 to 3.05 for males and 3.24 to 3.71 for females. The slopes were significantly different between groups at at a =0.05. The Fulton's condition factor (K) was highest in December (1.019-1.073) and March/April (1.015-1.030) but lowest in June (1:00-1.025) for all stations. Significant differences between groups demands for the use of different growth models for juveniles, males and females especially for the von Bertalanffy growth equation which uses length-weight relationship. Observed cyclic viations in condition factor suggests two peak breeding seasons for this species in the Winam Gulf. The practical lmplications of these results in stock assessment using length-based fish stock assessment methods is briefly discussed.

Comparison of two seal technologies for hydraulic microactuators

In order to improve the power density of microactuators, recent research focuses on the applicability of fluidic power at microscale. One of the reasons that hydraulic actuators are still uncommon in micro system technology is due to the difficulty of fabricating powerful microseals. This paper presents two seal technologies that are suitable for sealing small-scale hydraulic actuators. Measurements on prototype actuators show that force densities up to 0,45 N/mm2 (0,025 N/mm3) and work densities up to 0,2 mJ/mm3 can easily be achieved with the developed seal technology. These characteristics can still be improved as the maximum driving pressures of the actuators have not yet been determined. © 2005 IEEE.

Depletion of Vipp1 in Synechocystis sp PCC 6803 affects photosynthetic activity before the loss of thylakoid membranes

A vipp1 mutant of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 could not be completely segregated under either mixotrophic or heterotrophic conditions. A vipp1 gene with a copper-regulated promoter (P-petE-vipp1) was integrated into a neutral platform in the genome of the merodiploid mutant. The copper-induced expression of P-petE-vipp1 allowed a complete segregation of the vipp1 mutant and observation of the phenotype of Synechocystis 6803 with different levels of vesicle-inducing protein in plastids 1 (Vipp1). When P-petE-vipp1 was turned off by copper deprivation, Synechocystis lost Vipp1 and photosynthetic activity almost simultaneously, and at a later stage, thylakoid membranes and cell viability. The photosystem II (PSII)-mediated electron transfer was much more rapidly reduced than the PSI-mediated electron transfer. By testing a series of concentrations, we found that P-petE-vipp1 cells grown in medium with 0.025 mu M Cu2+ showed no reduction of thylakoid membranes, but greatly reduced photosynthetic activity and viability. These results suggested that in contrast to a previous report, the loss of photosynthetic activity may not have been due to the loss of thylakoid membranes, but may have been caused more directly by the loss of Vipp1 in Synechocystis 6803.

Hydroacoustic study of spatial and temporal distribution of Gymnocypris przewalskii (Kessler, 1876) in Qinghai Lake, China

Gymnocypris przewalskii (Kessler 1876) is an endangered and state-protected rare fish species in Qinghai Lake, China. To further understand the life history and distribution of this fish, five surveys were carried out in Qinghai Lake between 2002-2006. Results of these surveys indicate that fishes were predominantly distributed about 2 m under the surface. In July, significant differences in fish density were found between surface and bottom layers (P = 0.001), and/or between middle and bottom layers (P = 0.025). Fish density was the greatest in the surface layer. In August and October, no significant differences were found between the different layers, but the bottom layer had a greater fish density. Furthermore, there were very large differences among different zones in fish distribution density. Differences in horizontal distribution were not significantly correlated to factors such as water depth and inshore distance, possibly because of very low and uniform fish density. Feeding, changes in water temperature, over-wintering and spawning appeared to influence fish distribution. Hydroacoustic estimates of G. przewalskii biomass in Qinghai Lake increased significantly between 2002 and 2006. We attribute this increase to the management measures put in place to protect this species.

Changes in the concentrations of size-fractioned iron and related environmental factors in the northeastern part of lake Dianchi (China)

To observe changes in the concentrations of size-fractionated iron and related environmental factors, experiments were conducted in the northeastern part of the shallow eutrophic lake Dianchi (China) from March 2003 to February 2004. Iron concentrations were measured for three size fractions: particulate iron (phi >0.22 mu m), colloidal iron (phi = 0.025-0.22 mu m) and soluble iron (phi < 0.025 mu m), and environmental factors (physicochemical and biological factors) were synchronously analyzed. Results showed that size-fractionated iron and the related environmental factors all varied with season. Colloidal iron accounted for only 5-9% of total iron, while particulate and soluble iron each accounted for 40-50% of total iron. The results suggested that size-fractionated iron can transform into each other, especially the highly reactive colloidal iron. Significant linear correlations were found between iron in different size fractions, and significant correlations were also obtained between chlorophyll a and environmental factors, such as TN, TP and secchi depth. No significant correlation between iron and chlorophyll a was found in this study.

毛细管电泳在生命科学，生物技术，医学药物和环境保护中显示了极其重要的应用前景，也被认为是人类进入纳米技术时代的一种富有重要潜在价值的手段。具有高效、快速，耗样量小等特点。而安培电化学恰恰适合毛细管电泳对检测器的要求。毛细管电泳-安培检测法在多方面发挥着不可忽视的作用。本文用此方法进行了一些分析。1. 毛细管区带电泳柱端安培检测抗癌药物巯嘌呤 报道了一种高效快速检测抗癌药物巯嘌呤的方法-毛细管区带电泳柱端安培检测。优化了检测条件，考察了巯嘌呤的电化学行为。在15kV电压下进样3s，在此电压下进行电泳分离，背景电解质为10mmol/L Na_2HPO_4，1.2V检测时，此药物的检测限为1 * 10~(-7)mol/L，线性范围为5 *　10~(-4)-5　* 10~(-6)mol/L，相关系数为0.995，重现性良好。并用该法检测了人体尿样及牛血清蛋白中的巯嘌呤，本工作具有一定的临床意义。2. 毛备管区带电泳柱端安培分离分析多种抗癌药物 通过毛细管区带电泳柱端安培检测法对8-氮鸟嘌呤，5-氟尿嘧啶，6-巯嘌呤，氨甲喋呤和6-硫鸟嘌呤五种抗癌药物进行了灵敏，高效，迅速的分离检测。实验采用33μm的碳纤维盘电极，在20min内分离检测了此五种药物的混合物。在1.2V的检测电位下，五种药物的线性范围超过了三个数量级，相关系数是0.992，这五种药物的检测限依次为5，3，5，9和5 * 10~(-7)mol/L。3. 三种噻唑衍生物的毛细管电泳安培分析 在碳纤维电极上检测三种噻唑衍生物，2-氨基噻唑，2-氨基苯并噻唑和2-巯基苯并噻唑。对应检测限分别为2.0，0.013，0.025 * 10~(-6)mol/L。它们的线性范围较宽，相关系数均在0.9995以上。分别考察了缓冲液pH值及其浓度，分离电压对电泳分离效果的影响，还对实际样品进行了分析。此工作具有一定的实用意义。

工艺流程中高浓定影液酸度的流线分析方法研究

每种酸碱指示剂在其变色PH范围内都有一个明显的颜色变化，在其相应的PH-A曲线上总存在一段直线部分，通过选择一定PH变色范围和适当浓度的指示剂，就能使各指示剂PH-A曲线上的直线部分相互迭加成一条新的直线，从而加宽了混合指示剂的表现变色PH范围，依此原理，本论文以二种流动注射分析方法独立地完成了工艺流程中高浓定影液酸度的在线分析。并对这二种方法做了简单的对比。（一）工艺流程中高浓定影液酸度的在线分析方法研究（1）我们选择了内含0.08%溴甲酚紫，0.04%溴百里酚兰，0.02%甲酚红组成的混合指示剂的6%稀释液作为试剂，以C-41CX定影浓缩液作载流，用F2A-分光光度法完成了高浓度定影液酸度的在线测定，相对标准偏差在50.2%以内，采样频率为100次/h，分析周期很短（25秒），在5.5～8.0PH范围内，PH-A工作曲线具有很好的线性关系，相关系数0.9996，斜率即灵敏度达到：0.198A/PH。（二）工艺流程中高浓定影液酸遮掩在线分析方法研究（2）我们造反了0.005%的溴甲酚紫，0.009%的溴百里酚兰和0.025%的甲酚红作为混合酸碱指示剂，以蒸馏水作载流，通过选择最佳测定条件用流动注射-分光光度法（F2A-Spectrophotometry）在线测定了不宜用其它分析法测定的高浓溶液的酸度。该分析方法还可以推广到其它高浓溶液的酸度的在线测定。相对误差在±0.2%以内；分析周期为30秒；采样体积为60μL。在5.2～8.5PH范围内，混合指示剂的PH-A工作曲线具有良好的线性关系，相关系数达到0.9991，工作曲线斜率即是灵敏度达到0.376A/PH。

Mechanism Responsible for the Complete Suppression of Karman Vortex in Flows Past a Wavy Square-Section Cylinder

The Karman vortex shedding is totally suppressed in flows past a wavy square-section cylinder at a Reynolds number of 100 and the wave steepness of 0.025. Such a phenomenon is illuminated by the numerical simulations. In the present study, the mechanism responsible for it is mainly attributed to the vertical vorticity. The geometric disturbance on the rear surface leads to the appearance of spanwise flow near the base. The specific vertical vorticity is generated on the rear surface and convecting into the near wake. The wake flow is recirculated with the appearance of the pair of recirculating cells. The interaction between the upper and lower shear layers is weakened by such cells, so that the vortex rolls could not be formed and the near wake flow becomes stable.

川牛膝多糖的免疫活性及其水解活性片段分离研究

川牛膝多糖（CP）是从传统中药川牛膝（Cyathula officinalis Kuan）中提取的一种活性多糖，现代药理研究表明川牛膝多糖是川牛膝许多生物活性的物质基础。本实验室前期进行了川牛膝多糖的提取、分离、结构鉴定及其部分活性研究，发现川牛膝中多糖含量非常高，在对川牛膝多糖活性的初步研究中也证实了其具有免疫调节作用。我们为了进一步了解其免疫调节活性，并为构效关系的研究奠定基础，对其进行了如下研究： 1． 通过体外毒性检测、淋巴细胞增殖实验、NK细胞杀伤活性和腹腔巨噬细胞吞噬中性红活性测定，发现川牛膝多糖在10～300μg/mL浓度范围内，对细胞无毒性作用；能够促进LPS诱导的B淋巴细胞增殖(P<0.01)、增强NK细胞杀伤活性(P<0.05)和PMΦ吞噬中性红活性(P<0.01)，且随多糖浓度增高而增强；但其对ConA诱导的T淋巴细胞的增殖无促进作用(P>0.05)。 2． 通过正常小鼠体内淋巴细胞转化实验、迟发型变态反应分析、抗体生成细胞检测、碳粒廓清检测、腹腔巨噬细胞吞噬鸡红细胞活性和NK细胞活性测定，发现川牛膝多糖在适应性免疫方面能够促进SRBC免疫小鼠体内的抗体生成细胞的生成（P<0.01）和增强DNFB诱导的DTH（P<0.05），但对ConA诱导的脾淋巴细胞增殖无促进作用（P>0.05）；在固有免疫方面能够提高小鼠碳粒廓清速率（P<0.05），PMΦ吞噬 CRBC 活性（P<0.01）和NK细胞杀伤活性（P<0.05）。同时还发现其对由环磷酰胺(Cy)引起的白细胞数下降具有很好的抑制作用（P<0.01）。 3． 为了获得结构明确、均一的保留活性的川牛膝多糖片段，为其作用机制、构效关系研究提供关键研究材料，我们开展了“保留免疫活性的最小片段”的分离制备的初步研究。建立并优化了川牛膝多糖的酸水解条件，发现在6%的样品浓度，0.025mol/L的硫酸浓度，65℃的水解温度，水解时间为8min的条件下可以得到一系列连续的多糖片段；采用Bio-Gel P2 分子筛柱层析分离得到5个级分，通过体外淋巴细胞增殖实验、NK细胞活性测定、腹腔巨噬细胞吞噬中性红实验发现其中的一个片段仍保留较强的免疫活性，并测得其分子量约为2057Da，为保留免疫活性的最小片段的进一步分离奠定了基础。 Cyathula officinalis Kuan is a commonly-used Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with a wide range of pharmacological activities. Modern pharmacological researches showed the polysaccharide extracted from it (CP) is an important component for many bioactivities of this TCM. In the previous studies, we found CP showed significant immuno-regulative activities. In order to evaluate this activity systematically and lay foundations for revealling its immuno-regulative machanisms and the Structure -Function relationship, we carried out the following research works: 1． The in vitro immunoactivities of CP were evaluated by using normal mice immunocytes with respects to cytotoxicity, lymphocytes proliferation, NK activity and the ability of peritoneal macrophage phagocytizing neutral red. The polysaccharide showed no cytotoxicity below the concentration of 300 μg/mL, and could promote B lymphocytes proliferation (P<0.01), enhance NK activity (P<0.05) and the ability of peritoneal macrophage phagocytizing neutral red (P<0.01) at the concentration of 10-300 μg/mL. The above effects were positively correlated with the concentration of the polysaccharides. But it could not promote T lymphocytes proliferation (P>0.05). 2． The in vivo immunoactivities of CP were observed on normal mice through the following indices: splenic lymphocyte transformation efficiency, delayed-type allergy, antibody-forming cells activity (AFC), rate of carbon clearance, rate of peritoneal macrophage phagocytizing chicken red blood cell (CRBC) and NK activity, and its influence on the decline of the mouse leucocyte count induced by Cy. The polysaccharide at medium-dose enhanced delayed-type allergy （P<0.05）and NK activity（P<0.05） and increased the rate of carbon clearance（P<0.05）, AFC activity（P<0.01） and the rate of peritoneal macrophage phagocytizing CRBC（P<0.01）. The polysaccharides also effectively resisted the decline of the mouse leucocyte count induced by Cy（P<0.01）. However, it couldn’t increase the splenic lymphocyte transformation efficiency（P>0.05）. 3． Attempting to isolate and prepare the minimal fragments retaining activity with identical structure for further studying on immuno-regulative mechanism and Structure-Function relationship, we carried out the study on hydrolysis of CP, isolation of hydrolysed fragments, and the activity evaluation of the isolated fragments. CP with concentration of 6% was hydrolysed at 65℃ for 8 min with sulfuric acid of 0.025 mol/L，then the hydrolysate was separated using Bio-Gel P2 chromatography, 5 portions of fragments were obtained. The immunoactivities of these fragments were evaluated by using normal mice immunocytes with respect to lymphocytes proliferation, NK activity and ability of peritoneal macrophage phagocytizing neutral red. One fragment with relative molecular mass of 2057Da was found retaining immunoactivity.
