中国牛蛭属一新种记述(吻蛭目,医蛭科)

报道了采自云南省景东县的牛蛭属Poecilobdella Blanchard,18931新种。由于新种总体环数为99环,生殖孔分别在30(Ⅺ)与38(ⅩⅢ)环内,两孔相隔7环;肛门在99环与尾吸盘交界线上;附睾呈卵圆形,精管膨腔呈梨形并且为前者的1/3大小;阴道盲囊呈圆球形,阴道管粗短且无阴道柄。因此与本属中所有的已知种均不相同。

瓣结鱼食性的研究

以采自贵州境内清水江、都柳江的318尾瓣结鱼(Tor(Foliter)brevifilis brevifilis)为研究对象,从食物组成、摄食强度和摄食形态学等方面研究了瓣结鱼食性的特点。结果表明:瓣结鱼的食物由双翅目昆虫幼虫等17类饵料生物组成,并以双翅目昆虫幼虫的出现率最高。瓣结鱼的充塞度按春、夏、秋、冬季逐渐增高,季节性变化明显。充塞指数随体长生长显著减少,而摄食率则随体长生长逐渐增加。充塞指数和摄食率均以V期性腺个体为最低。瓣结鱼为底层杂食性鱼类。

Numerical computation of laminar flow in a heated rotating cavity with an axial throughflow of air

A heated rotating cavity with an axial throughflow of cooling air is used as a model for the flow in the cylindrical cavities between adjacent discs of a high-pressure gas-turbine compressor. In an engine the flow is expected to be turbulent, the limitations of this laminar study are fully realised but it is considered an essential step to understand the fundamental nature of the flow. The three-dimensional, time-dependent governing equations are solved using a code based on the finite volume technique and a multigrid algorithm. The computed flow structure shows that flow enters the cavity in one or more radial arms and then forms regions of cyclonic and anticyclonic circulation. This basic flow structure is consistent with existing experimental evidence obtained from flow visualization. The flow structure also undergoes cyclic changes with time. For example, a single radial arm, and pair of recirculation regions can commute to two radial arms and two pairs of recirculation regions and then revert back to one. The flow structure inside the cavity is found to be heavily influenced by the radial distribution of surface temperature imposed on the discs. As the radial location of the maximum disc temperature moves radially outward, this appears to increase the number of radial arms and pairs of recirculation regions (from one to three for the distributions considered here). If the peripheral shroud is also heated there appear to be many radial arms which exchange fluid with a strong cyclonic flow adjacent to the shroud. One surface temperature distribution is studied in detail and profiles of the relative tangential and radial velocities are presented. The disc heat transfer is also found to be influenced by the disc surface temperature distribution. It is also found that the computed Nusselt numbers are in reasonable accord over most of the disc surface with a correlation found from previous experimental measurements. © 1994, MCB UP Limited.

Simulating vision loss: What levels of impairment are actually represented?

Capability loss simulators give designers a brief experience of some of the functional effects of capability loss. They are an effective method of helping people to understand the impact of capability loss on product use. However, it is also important that designers know what levels of loss are being simulated and how they relate to the user population. The study in this paper tested the Cambridge Simulation Glasses with 25 participants to determine the effect of different numbers of glasses on a person's visual acuity. This data is also related to the glasses' use in usability assessment. A procedure is described for determining the number of simulator glasses with which the visual detail on a product is just visible. This paper then explains how to calculate the proportion of the UK population who would be unable to distinguish that detail.

中国绿球藻目的新种和新变种

饶钦止和沈国华等人于1950，1952，1953，1955和1990年自湖北、江苏、广西和黑龙江等地采得标本，经鉴定表明，它们为中国绿球藻目（Chlorococcales），分隶于6属的8个新种和4个新变种。模式标本保存于中国科学院水生生物研究所藻类标本室（HBI）。

用污染指示菌评价城市水体污染的研究

选择湖南省常德市江北城区水体为代表开展本项研究。结果表明，水体中污染指示菌，总大肠菌群（ＴＣ）和粪大肠菌群（ＦＣ）密度同ＢＯＤ＿５负荷以及综合污染指数Ｐ呈高度正相关。所以，污染指示菌指标，特别是粪大肠菌群指标足综合评价城市污水，尤其是生活污水污染的一个必不可少的重要参数。对该城区水体细菌污染的评价结果是，生活污水排放愈集中的地区，细菌污染愈严重。其中护城河水的ＴＣ密度超出我国地面水Ⅲ级标准４个数量级；ＦＣ密度超过ＷＨＯ娱乐用水标准３个数量级。护城河是细菌污染最严重水体。包括滨湖公园内湖在内的接纳生活污水多

Feasibility of cyanobacterial inoculation for biological soil crusts formation in desert area

Practical testing of the feasibility of cyanobacterial inoculation to speed up the recovery of biological soil crusts in the field was conducted in this experiment. Results showed that cyanobacterial and algal cover climbed up to 48.5% and a total of 14 cyanobacterial and algal species were identified at the termination of inoculation experiment; biological crusts' thickness, compressive and chlorophyll a content increased with inoculation time among 3 years; moss species appeared in the second year; cyanobacterial inoculation increased organic carbon and total nitrogen of the soil; total salt, calcium carbonate and electrical conductivity in the soil also increased after inoculation. Diverse vascular plant communities composed of 10 and 9 species are established by cyanobacterial inoculation on the windward and leeward surface of the dunes, respectively, after 3 years. The Simpson index for the above two communities are 0.842 and 0.852, while the Shannon-Weiner index are 2.097 and 2.053, respectively. In conclusion, we suggest that cyanobacterial inoculation would be a suitable and effective technique to recover biological soil crusts, and may further restore the ecological system.
