Population dynamics and management of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) of the Oman Sea

The Yellowfin tuna was caught more than all other species in the southern waters of Iran (24000 tons in 1998). In order to come up with the responsible fishing pattern, there was a need to identify some of the biological characteristics and population dynamic parameters. This thesis was the first which covered the whole Yellowfin tuna distribution in the Oman Sea, included the fishing grounds of Berris, Ramin, Chabahar, Pozm and Jask. The data during 1998-99 from different fishing grounds were polled. Based on the exponential relationship between length and weight in the size range 38-173 Cm, the relationship (W=aL^ b) was calculated as W=0.000012L ^ 3.0831). The mean fork length,head length,girth and weight were calculated respectively 84.15 Cm, 23 Cm, 53 Cm, and 11828 g. Length infinity was estimated 189 Cm with growth parameters of 0.42 per year. Growth performance index was 4.18 which was in agreement with the findngs of the other studies in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The mortality parameters and exploitation rate were estimated as below: Z = 1.75-1.85 M=0.6 F=1.25 E=0.68 Occurence of empty stomach was high (60%) in the speciemens obtained from the Oman Sea. Purpleback flying squid (Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis) was the most dominant prey species observed in the study (57% in females and 60% in males), occurrence of teleost fishes were found to be the second (38% in males and 42% in females). Crabs also were identified in the specimens(1-2%). The study on sex ratio indicated that males were predominant at all sizes above 120 Cm fork length. 50.82% of specimens were males and 49.18% females. The monthly gonadosomatic index was deriven higher values during January to June which could be indicated as spawning period.

Morphine withdrawal affects both delayed-escape behaviour in Morris water maze and hippocampal NR2A/2B expression ratio

Repeated low-dose morphine treatment facilitates delayed-escape behaviour of hippocampus-dependent Morris water maze and morphine withdrawal influences hippocampal NMDA receptor-dependent synaptic plasticity. Here, we examined whether and how morphine wit

湖南产尖吻蝮蛇蛇毒出血毒素性质和溶液构象的研究

经sephadex G-75凝胶过滤、QAE-Sephadex A-50和CM-Sephadex C-25离子交换步骤,从湖南产尖吻蝮（Deinagkistrodon acutus）蛇毒中纯化出两个出血毒素,被命名为HaHT-1和HaHT-2。用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳（PAGE）和SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳鉴定呈单一的蛋白染色带。两个出血毒素的分子量相同,均为 23.5kDa。等电聚焦电泳测定它们的等电点分别为5.6和5.2。HaHT-1和HaHT-2均具有较强的出血活性（MHD分别为0.5和0.8μg）,都有酪蛋白水解活力,无精氨酸酯酶、胆碱酯酶和磷脂酶A_2活力。用CD谱测定HaHT-l和HaHT-2的溶液构象,HaHT-1的α-螺旋、β-折叠和无规卷曲分别为36.9％、35.5％和27.6％,而HaHT-2的α-螺旋、β-折叠和无规卷曲分别为23.4％、31.3％和45.3％。pH的变化对它们构象有影响,在pH2-11范围内,酸性比碱性大。随着酸性或碱性的增加其α-螺旋含量减少,无规卷曲增加,β-折叠结构变化不大。

用H-Y抗体在宫内处理植入前鼠胚对后代性比的影响

该文以C57BL/6J鼠分2组进行实验。实验组45鼠,对照组20鼠,与同品系雄鼠交配后,在3日龄胚期,通过腹部手术对实验组雌鼠每侧子宫腔内注入未稀释的H-Y抗血清与豚鼠补体(二者以1:2混合)3μl。抗血清是由C57BL/6L雌鼠用同品系雄鼠的脾细胞以2.5×10~(7)个/只的剂量,每周免疫一次,共免疫7次后制备。对照组的处理操作与实验组相同,但每侧子宫腔内仅注入补体3μl,未注入抗体。实验组中有42只产仔247只(每窝平均6只),雌雄比为2.7(180/67)雌性占73%;对照组20只均产仔共163只(每窝平均8只),雌雄比为0.92(78/85),雌性仔鼠占48%。

高分子聚合物HFMC注入猕猴输精管后附睾的远期组织病理学变化

该实验采用７只成年雄性猕猴, 经双侧阴囊上方切口暴露输精管, 由近附睾端向远侧注射高分子聚合物HFMC, 剂量分别为30mg/侧(1只),60mg/侧(3只), 100mg/侧(3只), 分别于术后２2.5及3.5年处死动物, 取附睾组织进行光镜及电镜观察. 结果表明: 注射不同剂量 HFMC 2.5年后, 动物附晕头、体、尾各部光镜观察所见主要改变为上皮细胞局灶性轻度水样变性, 少许上皮细胞脱落, 个别管腔扩张, 局部间质少量炎细胞浸润. 3.5年后取材光镜观察附睾组织无明显异常. 不同时间取材进行电镜观察所见超微结构变化主要为上皮细胞内线粒体肿胀, 部分线粒体及内织网呈空泡改变, 附睾管腔内精子均有一定程度损伤。

Sustainability Education

This response does not only include greening the campus but also transforming curricula and teaching and learning. This book explains why this is necessary and--crucially--how to do it.
