Parasitic fish diseases and their impact on potential fish production in East Africa

Protein deficient diets are a standard way of life in many parts of East Africa;this of course tends to result in shorter life expectancy and chronic ill-health. Population increase is sufficiently high to outdistance the economic gains that may be made in various fields. With recurrent shortages of basic commodities not only in East Africa, but in many parts of the world, it is becoming increasingly clear that agricultural production practices must be maximised rapidly in order to meet the world's constantly expanding need for food. Here in East Africa, while our food requirements can be met most of the time, our protein requirements are far from being met. Yields from traditional fishery resources, must therefore be increased. The farming of fish (aquaculture)adds a new dimension to food production in general and high quality protein production in particular, in that it can be incorporated into other agricultural production activities.

云南高黎贡山白颌大角蟾的核型、C-带及Ag-NORs的研究

比较了云南高黎贡山地区的贡山独龙江和腾冲大蒿坪白颌大角蟾（Megophryslateralis）两个地理种群的核型、C-带和Ag-NORs结果表明，两个地理种群在核型和带型上都有差异两个地理种群的核型均为2n＝26，NF＝52染色体形态差异不明显，而次缢痕的位置完全不同，贡山独龙江标本的次缢痕位于No．2的长臂上近着丝点处，腾冲标本的次缢痕位于No．5的短臂上近着丝点的部位在腾冲标本中发现一雄性个体中有一条额外的染色体，可能是B染色体两地标本的C-带差异不太显著，贡山独龙江标本的C-带相对较为显著．贡山独龙江标本的Ag-NORs位于No．2长臂近着丝点处，与次缢痕的部位对应，两条同源染色体上大小有显著差异．腾冲标本的Ag-NORs位于No．5短臂上近着丝点处，与次缢痕的部位对应依据核型和带型的比较，对白颌大角蟾的分类和进化问题进行了讨论。

基于从头算的缬氨酸两性离子和水分子的相互作用势

首先用从头算方法计算缬氨酸两性离子同处于160种不同位置的水分子的相互作用能, 计算 时采用最小基组并进行了基组重叠修正, 最后对计算得的相互作用能Slater-Kirkwood 公式作色散能修正; 然后进行势函数的拟合, 即舍弃12个相互作用能大于5Kcal/mole或原子间距离小于1.68A的布点, 对其余148个布点进行拟合。拟合结果的标准偏差为SD=0.48Kcal/mole。图1表3参13

中国鲤科鱼类新纪录——爪哇四须鲃

2001年7月于云南省西双版纳州勐腊县罗梭江(澜沧江的支流)中采集到2尾鱼类标本, 经鉴定为中国鲤科鱼类四须鲃属 Barbodes 的一个新纪录——爪哇四须鲃 Barbodesgonionotus. 该新纪录与本属其他种的显著区别为其臀鳍分枝鳍条有 6～7根, 而其他种有5根。

The in vivo synaptic plasticity mechanism of EGb 761-induced enhancement of spatial learning and memory in aged rats

1 It has not been uniform to date that the Ginkgo biloba extracts enhance cognitive function in aged animals, and the mechanisms of action remain difficult to elucidate. In this study, the Morris water maze task and electrophysiological methods were used

On solving non-standard ℍ -/ℍ 2/∞ fault detection problems

We discuss solvability issues of ℍ -/ℍ 2/∞ optimal fault detection problems in the most general setting. A solution approach is presented which successively reduces the initial problem to simpler ones. The last computational step generally may involve the solution of a non-standard ℍ -/ ℍ 2/∞ optimization problem for which we discuss possible solution approaches. Using an appropriate definition of the ℍ -- index, we provide a complete solution of this problem in the case of ℍ 2-norm. Furthermore, we discuss the solvability issues in the case of ℍ ∞-norm. © 2011 IEEE.
