木根麦冬基因流动与居群遗传变异的时空动态研究

本报告对木根麦冬的生态、遗传与进化等方面进行了综合研究，分析了木根麦冬居群内个体育性变异与基因流的模式与强度，研究了木根麦冬居群遗传变异在时间与空间的动态变化过程，深入探讨了该物种的适应策略、自然选择与进化模式。同时对生物进化中的一些基本问题进行了尝试性探讨。 一、影响有性繁殖生物居群中交配与繁殖成功的行为、生态与遗传现象最终决定等位基因与基因型的相对频率及其在世代间的变化。植物的交配系统不仅决定了居群未来世代的基因型频率，而且还影响到植物居群的有效大小、基因流和选择等其它进化因素。我们利用等位酶多态性，采用似然性方法与计算机模拟为木根麦冬三个居群的种子确定父本。共有90.1%的种子可以在居群中找到唯一的最可能父本。在这些种子中，56.1%在0.95的显著水平上可以确定唯一亲本。并且还发现：1．个体自交越多，产生的种子就越多;2．个体提供 给自己的有效花粉比提供给别的植株的有效花粉多，3．只接受花粉而不提供花粉的植株产生的种子少;4．只接受花粉而不提供花粉的植株产生种子的机会也少，综合我们以前的研究结果，可以认为，木根麦冬的交配系统正在或已经发 生了转变，从以异交为主到以自交为主。 二、点模式分析的结果表明在所研究的三个居群中，木根麦冬个体都表现出相对随机的分布。空间自相关分析却发现开花个体在空间聚集分布，呈斑块状开花。这个结果也表明个体空间分布模式与开花状态没有直接关系，集团性开花可能是一个促进花粉传播的适应特征：开花个体的聚集可能对传粉者形成强有力的吸引。空间自相关分析表明木根麦冬居群中大多数等位基因都聚集成一定大小的斑块。基因的聚集突出的说明了木根麦冬居群内基因流动的状况，花粉与种子的传播受到限制。传粉能力弱的传粉者以及种子的近距离的散布使基因局限于一定的小范围内，从而形成基因斑块，而斑块的大小由传粉者的活动范围及种子的传播距离决定。 三、基因纯合导致有害的隐性基因或部分致死的基因表达，使纯合子适合度降低，因此纯合子频率在世代间的变化将是衡量近交衰退的一个较好的指标。木根麦冬中亲代居群的观察杂合度大大高于子代居群，这个结果表明大量的纯合子在从种子到成株的过程中被淘汰。大量的纯合子被淘汰可能时由于隐性致死或有害等位基因纯合的结果，自交以及有亲缘关系的个体之间交配使有害等位基因与致死等位基因纯合，从而使一个远交种中出现自交衰退，过量的纯合子被淘汰是自交衰退的直接后果。

Human muscle spindles act as forward sensory models.

Modern theories of motor control incorporate forward models that combine sensory information and motor commands to predict future sensory states. Such models circumvent unavoidable neural delays associated with on-line feedback control. Here we show that signals in human muscle spindle afferents during unconstrained wrist and finger movements predict future kinematic states of their parent muscle. Specifically, we show that the discharges of type Ia afferents are best correlated with the velocity of length changes in their parent muscles approximately 100-160 ms in the future and that their discharges vary depending on motor sequences in a way that cannot be explained by the state of their parent muscle alone. We therefore conclude that muscle spindles can act as "forward sensory models": they are affected both by the current state of their parent muscle and by efferent (fusimotor) control, and their discharges represent future kinematic states. If this conjecture is correct, then sensorimotor learning implies learning how to control not only the skeletal muscles but also the fusimotor system.

Coastal climate reflected in carbon-13/carbon-12 ratio of organic carbon in varved sediment from Santa Barbara basin

A 1844-1987 time-series of carbon stable isotope ratios from dated sedimentary total organic carbon from the center of the Santa Barbara basin is compared with historical climate and oceanographic records. Carbon derived from carbon-13-depleted phytoplankton and carbon-13-enriched kelp appear responsible for a large part of the isotopic variance in sedimentary total organic carbon. El Niño/Southern Oscillation events are recorded by the isotopic response of marine organic carbon in sediments.

Polyculture of freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, de Man with carps: effects of prawn stocking density

Effects of three stocking densities, viz., 35, 50 and 65/decimal (1 decimal = 40.48 m2) of juvenile freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) on prawn and fish production were tested in a polycuture system with silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), catla (Catla catla), Grass carp (Ctenophmyngodon idella) and silver barb (Barbodes gonionotus). The fish stocking density was 19/decimal with the species combination of silver carp-10, catlac-6, grass carp-1 and silver barb-2. In a 8-month culture period, the prawn yield 423 ± 144 kg/ha was significantly lower (P< 0.5) with the prawn stocking density of 35/decimal than that of 548 ± 178 kg/ha and 662 ± 243 kg/ha with 50 and 65/decimal respectively. The fish production (1844-1891 kg/ha) did not differ significantly (p <0.05) among the three treatments indicating that prawn stocking densities had no influence on fish yield. The lower mean harvest weight (62 g) and survival rate (67 g) and higher yield (2.67 kg/decimal) with the highest stocking rate of prawn reveals that as density was increased, prawn survival and individual weight at harvest decreased but total yield increased.

Multiwall nanotubes, multilayers, and hybrid nanostructures: new frontiers for technology and Raman spectroscopy.

Technological progress is determined, to a great extent, by developments in material science. Breakthroughs can happen when a new type of material or new combinations of known materials with different dimensionality and functionality are created. Multilayered structures, being planar or concentric, are now emerging as major players at the forefront of research. Raman spectroscopy is a well-established characterization technique for carbon nanomaterials and is being developed for layered materials. In this issue of ACS Nano, Hirschmann et al. investigate triple-wall carbon nanotubes via resonant Raman spectroscopy, showing how a wealth of information can be derived about these complex structures. The next challenge is to tackle hybrid heterostructures, consisting of different planar or concentric materials, arranged "on demand" to achieve targeted properties.

Evaluation of the p-y method in the design of monopiles for offshore wind turbines

Monopile foundations, currently designed using the p-y method, are technically viable in supporting larger offshore wind turbines in waters to a depth of 30 m. The p-y method was developed to better understand the behavior of laterally loaded long slender piles required for the offshore oil and gas installations. The lateral load-deformation behavior of two monopiles, 5 and 7.5 m dia, installed in soft clays of varying undrained shear strength and stiffness, was studied. A combination of axial and lateral loads expected at an offshore wind farm location with a water depth of 30 m was used in the analysis. It was established that the Matlock (1970) p-y curves are too soft and under-estimate the ultimate soil reaction at all depths except at the monopile tip. At the pile tip, the base shear was not accounted for in the p-y curves, hence resulting in the over-estimation of the soil reaction. Consequently, the Matlock (1970) p-y formulation significantly underestimates the monopile ultimate lateral capacity. The use of the Matlock (1970) p-y method would result in over-conservative designs of monopiles for offshore wind turbines. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the Offshore Technology Conference (Houston, TX 5/6-9/2013).

Physical properties of a hybrid and a nanohybrid dental light-cured resin composite.

This work was aimed at the study of some physical properties of two current light-cured dental resin composites, Rok (hybrid) and Ice (nanohydrid). As filler they both contain strontium aluminosilicate particles, however, with different size distribution, 40 nm-2.5 mum for Rok and 10 nm-1 mum for Ice. The resin matrix of Rok consists of UDMA, that of Ice of UDMA, Bis-EMA and TEGDMA. Degree of conversion was determined by FT-IR analysis. The flexural strength and modulus were measured using a three-point bending set-up according to the ISO-4049 specification. Sorption, solubility and volumetric change were measured after storage of composites in water or ethanol/water (75 vol%) for 1 day, 7 or 30 days. Thermogravimetric analysis was performed in air and nitrogen atmosphere from 30 to 700 degrees C. Surface roughness and morphology of the composites was studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The degree of conversion was found to be 56.9% for Rok and 61.0% for Ice. The flexural strength of Rok does not significantly differ from that of Ice, while the flexural modulus of Rok is higher than that of Ice. The flexural strengths of Rok and Ice did not show any significant change after immersion in water or ethanol solution for 30 days. The flexural modulus of Rok and Ice did not show any significant change either after immersion in water for 30 days, while it decreased significantly, even after 1 day immersion, in ethanol solution. Ice sorbed a higher amount of water and ethanol solution than Rok and showed a higher volume increase. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that Rok contains about 80 wt% inorganic filler and Ice about 75 wt%.
