The effects of physical ageing on crazing of polyphenylquinoxaline films

The effects of physical ageing on the crazing of polyphenylquinoxaline (PPQ-E) films were studied. The DSC endothermic peak at the glass transition region of the samples was interpreted in terms of the cohesional entanglement theory. The free volume cavity size and free volume intensity of the samples were characterized by positron annihilation life spectroscopy. The difference in free volume cavity size and free volume intensity between two samples reflect the strength and density of cohensional entanglement point. The critical strain for craze initiation and craze stability depended on physical ageing of the samples. The relationships between physical ageing and crazing were interpreted initially.

Study on the synthesis of mixed oxide La2CuO4 and the effect on the catalytic activity to catalytic removal of NO

The mixed oxide La2CuO4 was synthesized by four different methods and characterized with XRD, BET, TEM and low angle XRD. The effect of the synthetic method on the crystal structure, crystal size, surface area and catalytic activity to NO - CO reaction were studied. The results showed that the samples derived from different methods exhibited different activity to NO-CO reaction, the reason may be that the concentration and type of oxygen defect were different when the synthetic methods were different.

New life cycles of Porphyra katadae var. hemiphylla in culture

Porphyra katadae Miura var. hemiphylla Tseng et T. J. Chang, a species distributed around the Liaodong and Shandong Peninsulas of China, produces gametophytes from late winter to early spring. These are monoecious with male and female reproductive tissues in distinct halves or sectors. Vegetative tissues from sectors expected to differentiate into sexual tissue were cultured in the laboratory. Male and female reproductive organs, as well as conchocelis and blades, were differentiated from these tissues. The male and female reproductive tissues were in patches and mixed on the cultured tissue pieces. This was quite different from the wild-type sectored individuals. The F-1 conchospore germlings also produced monospores, carposporangia, spermatangia and conchocelis. These carposporangia and spermatangia were in patches and were mixed on the F-1 fronds. The results imply that P. katadae var. hemiphylla is possibly sex-differentiated rather than sex-determined. This is the first report of such a dimorphic life history in the genus Porphyra.

Inhibition of mouse liver lipid peroxidation by high molecular weight phlorotannins from Sargassum kjellmanianum

The inhibitory effects of high molecular weight phlorotannins (HMP) from Sargassum kjellmanianum on mouse liver lipid peroxidation were investigated by spectrophotometric methods. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver samples was measured by TBA (thiobarbituric acid) assay. It showed that HMP significantly inhibited the generation of MDA in vivo and in situations induced by CCl4 and Fe2+-Vc ( ascorbic acid), and significantly decreased membrane swelling of mouse liver mitochondria, compared with controls ( p < 0.01). HMP were found to have strong anti-oxidative activity in inhibiting mouse liver lipid peroxidation.

Factors affecting the estimation of gas hydrate and free gas saturation

Attenuations of different types of gas hydrate cementation in fluid-saturated porous solids are discussed. The factors affecting estimation of gas hydrate and free gas saturation are analyzed. It is suggested that porosity of sediment, the P wave velocity model and methods of calculating elastic modulus are key factors in the estimation of gas hydrate and free gas saturations. Attenuation of gas hydrate-bearing sediment is closely related with the cementation types of gas hydrate. Negative anomalies of quality factors indicate that gas hydrate deposits away from grain as part of fluid. Positive anomalies of the quality factors indicate that gas hydrate contacts with solid and changes the elastic modulus of matrix. Low frequency velocity and high frequency velocity models are used to estimate gas hydrate and free gas saturation in the Blake Ridge area according to the well log data of the hole 995 in ODP leg 164. The gas hydrate saturation obtained by low frequency velocity is 10% similar to 20% of the pore space and free gas saturation is 0.5% similar to 1% of the pore space. The gas hydrate saturation obtained by high frequency velocity is 5% similar to 10% of the pore space and free gas saturation is 1% similar to 2% of the pore space.

Different responses to selection in two stocks of the bay scallop, Argopecten irradians irradians Lamarck (1819)

Two different stocks (A and B) of the bay scallop Argopecten irradialls irradians (Lamarck, 1819) were used to test mass selection on growth. Stock A was a descending stock from the initial introduction from U.S.A. in 1982, which had been cultured in China for about 20 years. Stock B was the third generation from a recent introduction from U.S.A. in 1999. Truncation selection was conducted by selecting the largest 11% scallops in shell length from Stock A and the largest 12.7% scallops from Stock B as parents for the respective selected groups. Before the removal of parents for truncation selection, equal numbers of scallops were randomly chosen from Stock A and B to serve as parents for the control groups. Offspring from the four groups were reared under the same hatchery, nursery, and grow-out conditions. Values of response to selection and realized heritability at larvae, spat and grow-out stages for Stock B were all significantly (P < 0.001) higher than its counterpart for Stock A. For Stock A, no significant response to selection was observed (P > 0.05) at any stage, and the realized heritability for shell length was 0.015 +/- 0.024 for larvae, 0.040 +/- 0.027 for spat, and 0.080 +/- 0.009 for grow-out, respectively. For Stock B, however, significant (P < 0.05) response to selection was observed, and the realized heritability for shell length was 0.511 +/- 0.010 for larvae, 0.341 +/- 0.022 for spat, and 0.338 +/- 0.015 for grow-out. On average, responses to selection at the three stages for Stock B was 30 x, 7.1 x, and 3 x higher than its counterpart for Stock A, respectively. Accordingly, realized heritability at above stages for Stock B was 33 X, 7.5 x, and 3.2 X higher than its counterpart for Stock A, respectively. Differences in response to selection and realized heritability between the two stocks are presumably due to differences in genetic variability. As the 20th generation from the initial introduction consisted of only 26 scallops, Stock A is known to be highly inbred, while inbreeding in Stock B is negligible. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

3种牡丹雄配子体发育的比较研究

[目的]为芍药科牡丹的引种栽培、遗传育种和物种生物学研究提供全面的资料。[方法]光镜下观察分属于芍药科3个种的7个牡丹品种的雄配子体发育过程,并进行比较研究,探讨异型花粉与各品种结实率的关系。[结果]7个品种普遍存在二型性花粉的现象,在花粉群体中有一小部分花粉普遍表现为体积小,细胞质稀薄,发育迟缓,且大部分将停滞发育,但仍有极少数在体内沿着孢子体途径发育到3核水平。小孢子四分体的排列方式除正常的正四面体形,所有品种中均存在少数排列为左右对称的四分体和减数分裂及小孢子发育不同步的现象。异常花粉的发生率表现出明显的种间差异及品种间分化,而各品种能育花粉的数量与种子结实率并不完全成正比。[结论]减数分裂不同步及异常是导致异常花粉形成的主要原因,异型花粉是导致结实率低的原因之一。

梭罗草在青藏铁路取土场植被恢复中的应用研究

根据青藏铁路工程建设中的生态环境保护以及植被恢复建设的迫切需要, 在青藏铁路沱沱河试验段高寒草原区取土场开展植被恢复的试验工作, 主要研究和分析了梭罗草(Kengyilia thoroldiana (Oliv.)J.L.Yang,Yen et Baum)在青藏铁路取土场植被恢复中的应用, 为青藏铁路工程建设中的取土场植被恢复提供科学依据.结果表明: 青藏铁路建设过程中形成的取土场属次生裸地, 其有机质含量为3.31 g•kg-1, pH为8.84.梭罗草为高原干旱地区乡土多年生草本植物, 具有耐寒旱、抗风沙以及耐盐碱等特性.在取土场植物的出苗率接近50%, 越冬率可达75%以上. 恢复第2年植物群落盖度为41%, 群落地上生物量和地下生物量分别达到(128.16±41.85) g•m-2和(266.50±95.69 )g•m-2.可见, 无论是种子萌发和植物越冬, 还是植物个体生长发育以及人工植物群落特征, 梭罗草表现出对青藏铁路沿线高寒干旱地区气候和土壤环境具有较好的适应性.只要采用高原乡土植物种类和采取相应的植被恢复技术措施, 青藏铁路多年冻土区取土场次生裸地的植被快速恢复是可行的.

基于叶绿体DNA trnT-trnF序列研究祁连圆柏的谱系地理学

由于青藏高原的地貌效应,第四纪冰期气候的反复变化应对现今该地区生物的地理分布及其居群遗传结构产生重大影响.本文对这一地区特有分布物种祁连圆柏Juniperus przewalskii Kom.整个分布区内20居群392个个体的trnT-trnF序列变化进行了研究;共发现3种单倍型(haplotype),构成两种地理区域:高原台面上的居群主要固定HapA,而HapA、HapB和HapC在高原边缘居群均有分布.所有居群总的遗传多样性HT=0.511,GST=0.847.在低海拔的高原边缘,Hap A、Hap B和Hap C高频率固定在不同的居群中,表明可能存在多个不同的避难所,居群反复缩小和扩张的瓶颈效应造成了遗传多样性的丢失.而边缘的一个居群含有两种相似单倍型频率则可能是冰期后迁移融合而成或者该居群在冰期经受的瓶颈作用更弱.高原台面东部间断分布的居群只固定Hap A,表明它们可能经历了冰期后共同的回迁过程和由此产生的奠基者效应.我们的研究结果表明祁连圆柏在冰期可能存在多个避难所,瓶颈效应和奠基者效应造成了这些居群现在的遗传多样性分布式样.
