尖吻蝮蛇蛇毒出血毒素DaHT-3的纯化与性质

通过Sephadex G-75,DEAE-Sephadex A-50,Sephadex G-200和两次PBE聚焦层析,从尖吻蝮蛇(Dienagkistrodon acutus)蛇毒中纯化到一个分子量为56 000的出血毒素(DaHT-3),经氨基酸组成测定计算,由487个氨基酸残基组成。此成分在SDS-PAGE上显示出一条均一的蛋白染色带,用等电聚焦电泳测定,其pI为5.50。该出血成分的最小出血剂量是2.6#mu#g,具有蛋白水解酶活力,其活力为3.68,但没有精氨酸酯酶和磷脂酶A_(2)活力。用红外光谱仪研究DaHT-3在溶液中酰胺Ⅰ带的吸收谱,该毒素含有31.8%的#alpha#螺旋、56.1%的#beta#折叠和12.1%的转角;当加入EDTA螯合剂去除金属离子后,它们的#alpha#螺旋、#beta#折叠、转角和无规卷曲分别变为11%、26.4%、46.2%和16.5%,而出血活力和蛋白水解酶活力均丧失,表明该出血毒素是金属蛋白酶。

The reproductive strategies of an endemic Tibetan fish, Gymnocypris selincuoensis

The reproductive traits of Gymnocypris selincuoensis from Selincuo Lake and its tributaries were investigated in 1997 and 1998. The youngest mature male was age 7 with a standard length (SL) of 172.0 mm, and the youngest mature female was age 8 with a SL of 194.0 mm. The L(50)s Of SL and age at first maturity were respectively 250.32 mm and age 9 for males and 224.71 mm and age 8 for females. The gonadosomatic index (GSI) significantly changed with seasons for mature individuals but not for immature individuals. GSIs of mature females at stages IV and V of ovary development increased with SL and reached a maximum value at the SL range from 370 mm to 390 mm; the GSIs of mature males were negatively correlated with SL. The breeding season lasted from early April to early August. Egg size did not significantly change with SL but increased with the delay of spawning. The individual absolute fecundity varied from 1,341 to 28,002 eggs (mean 12,607+/-7,349), and the individual relative fecundity varied from 6.4 to 42.0 eggs.g(-1) (mean 25.5+/-9.7). The individual fecundity increased with total body weight; it also increased with SL for those of SL less than 370 mm. There was a rest of spawning for mature individuals.

Fracture toughness of fibrous membranes

Random fibrous networks exist in both natural biological and engineering materials. While the nonlinear deformation of fibrous networks has been extensively studied, the understanding of their fracture behaviour is still incomplete. To study the fracture toughness of fibrous materials, the near-tip region is crucial because failure mechanisms such as fibril rupture occur in this region. The consideration of this region in fracture studies is, however, a difficult task because it involves microscopic mechanical responses at a small length scale. This paper extends our previous finite element analysis by incorporating the microscopic responses into a macroscopic domain by using a submodeling technique. The detailed study of microstructures at crack tips show a stochastic toughness of membranes due to the random nature of fibrous networks. Further, the sizes of crack tip region, which are sufficient to provide a reasonable prediction of fracture behaviour in a specific type of fibrous network, were presented. Future work includes improving the current linear assumption in the macroscopic models to become nonlinear.

Material-Based Construction Site Image Retrieval

The technological advancements in digital imaging, the widespread popularity of digital cameras, and the increasing demand by owners and contractors for detailed and complete site photograph logs have triggered an ever-increasing growth in the rate of construction image data collection, with thousands of images being stored for each project. However, the sheer volume of images and the difficulties in accurately and manually indexing them have generated a pressing need for methods that can index and retrieve images with minimal or no user intervention. This paper reports recent developments from research efforts in the indexing and retrieval of construction site images in architecture, engineering, construction, and facilities management image database systems. The limitations and benefits of the existing methodologies will be presented, as well as an explanation of the reasons for the development of a novel image retrieval approach that not only can recognize construction materials within the image content in order to index images, but also can be compatible with existing retrieval methods, enabling enhanced results.
