固氮蓝藻培养和应用的结果与展望

<正> 固氮蓝藻是一类低等原核植物。它能进行固氮作用,固定空气中分子态氮成为氮素化合物;又能进行光合作用,将二氧化碳变为碳素化合物并放出氧气,为自身的固氮提供能源和还原剂。由于具有以上功能,它们适应性很强往往是贫瘠土壤的先驱植物,因此,很早就引起了人们的重视。早在1889年Frank首先发现生长着蓝藻的土壤在光照下,氮化合物的含量有所增加;1901年Beijerinck发现在仅有一点土壤的缺氮水中的小链鱼腥藻

Design and market considerations for axial flux superconducting electric machine design

In this paper, the authors investigate a number of design and market considerations for an axial flux superconducting electric machine design that uses high temperature superconductors. The axial flux machine design is assumed to utilise high temperature superconductors in both wire (stator winding) and bulk (rotor field) forms, to operate over a temperature range of 65-77 K, and to have a power output in the range from 10s of kW up to 1 MW (typical for axial flux machines), with approximately 2-3 T as the peak trapped field in the bulk superconductors. The authors firstly investigate the applicability of this type of machine as a generator in small- and medium-sized wind turbines, including the current and forecasted market and pricing for conventional turbines. Next, a study is also carried out on the machine's applicability as an in-wheel hub motor for electric vehicles. Some recommendations for future applications are made based on the outcome of these two studies. Finally, the cost of YBCO-based superconducting (2G HTS) wire is analysed with respect to competing wire technologies and compared with current conventional material costs and current wire costs for both 1G and 2G HTS are still too great to be economically feasible for such superconducting devices.

Changing planar thin film growth into self-assembled island formation by adjusting experimental conditions

Illustrated in this paper are two examples of altering planar growth into self-assembled island formation by adapting experimental conditions. Partial oxidation, undersaturated solution and high temperature change Frank-Van der Merwe (FM) growth of Al0.3Ga0.7As in liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) into isolated island deposition. Low growth speed, high temperature and in situ annealing in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) cause the origination of InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) to happen while the film is still below critical thickness in Stranski-Krastanow (SK) mode. Sample morphologies are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) or atomic force microscopy (AFM). It is suggested that such achievements are of value not only to fundamental researches but also to spheres of device applications as well. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Molecular evidence for double maternal origins of the diploid hybrid Hippophae goniocarpa (Elaeagnaceae)

Homoploid hybrid plant species are rare, and the mechanisms of their speciation are largely unknown, especially for homoploid hybrid tree species. Two contrasting hypotheses have been proposed to explain the origin of Hippophae goniocarpa: (1) it is a diploid hybrid originating from H. rhamnoides ssp. sinensis x H. neurocarpa ssp. neurocarpa, and (2) it originated via marginal differentiation from H. rhamnoides ssp. sinensis. Regardless of which of these hypotheses is true (if either), previous studies have suggested that H. rhamnoides ssp. sinensis is the only maternal donor for this hybrid species. In this study, we aim to elucidate the maternal composition of H. goniocarpa and to test the two hypotheses. For this purpose, we sequenced the maternal chloroplast DNA trnL-F region of 75 individuals representing H. goniocarpa, H. rhamnoides ssp. sinensis, and H. neurocarpa ssp. neurocarpa in two co-occurring sites of the taxa. Seven haplotypes were identified from three taxonomic units, and their phylogenetic relationships were further constructed by means of maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and network analyses. These seven haplotypes clustered into two distinct, highly divergent lineages. Two haplotypes from one lineage were found in H. rhamnoides ssp. sinensis, and five (representing the other lineage) in H. neurocarpa ssp. neurocarpa. Hippophae goniocarpa shared four common haplotypes from both lineages, but the haplotypes detected from the two populations differed to some extent, and in each case were identical to local haplotypes of the putative parental species. Thus, both H. rhamnoides ssp. sinensis and H. neurocarpa ssp. neurocarpa appear to have together contributed to the maternal establishment of H. goniocarpa. These results clearly demonstrate that the marginal origin hypothesis should be rejected, and support the hybrid origin hypothesis. Hippophae goniocarpa exhibits a sympatric distribution with its two parent species, without occupying new niches or displaying complete ecological isolation. However, this species has effectively developed reproductive isolation from its sympatric parent species. Our preliminary results suggest that H. goniocarpa may provide a useful model system for studying diploid hybrid speciation in trees. (c) 2008 The Linnean Society of London.

Seleção massal na população de feijoeiro comum (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)"Carioca Pitoco" em Rio Branco, Acre.

O sistema de cultivo do feijoeiro comum, no Estado do Acre, é típico de pequenos agricultores, o uso de insumos e máquinas é mínimo e toda mão-de-obra do processo produtivo é familiar. As áreas de cultivo dificilmente ultrapassam 5 ha, a produtividade é baixa e o excedente da produção é comercializado exclusivamente no mercado estadual. Esta cultura é a principal fonte de proteínas disponível por todo o ano nas pequenas propriedades, demonstrando importância nutricional e social para as famílias de baixa renda. As variedades de maior preferência dos agricultores e consumidores locais são o feijão Carioca Comum e o Rosinha de porte determinado. Entretanto, os materiais utilizados têm sido severamente prejudicados pela incidência da "mela" (Thanatephorus cucumeris (Frank) Donk). Estudos têm sido realizados no sentido de controlar ou minimizar esta doença, no entanto, até o momento não foi obtido um controle efetivo. A adoção de práticas culturais, como a cobertura do solo com restos culturais, diminui bastante os prejuízos, entretanto, esta prática por si só, não resolve o problema. A Embrapa Acre, desde a sua implantação, vem desenvolvendo trabalhos de introdução e avaliação de genótipos de feijão, visando a seleção e recomendação de materiais com características que superem os problemas da baixa produtividade e resistência à meia na região, bem como atender às exigências do mercado local, principalmente no que se refere ao tipo de grão. A introdução de genótipos, embora seja de fundamental importância para programas de melhoramento, nem sempre proporciona resultados imediatos e de interesse para a região, tendo em vista, principalmente, problemas de adaptação às novas condições edafoclimáticas.
