近56年来科尔沁沙地气候变化特征

根据1951—2006年的气温和降水资料,研究了干旱少雨、生态环境脆弱、土地荒漠化严重的科尔沁沙地近56年的气候变化特征。结果表明:1951—2006年,科尔沁沙地的气温以0.28℃.10a-1的速度上升,远大于全球近50年来0.13℃.10a-1的平均增温速率;各季节气温都呈上升趋势,冬、春季增温速率极显著(P<0.001),增温速率分别为0.46和0.39℃.10a-1;年最高气温(0.17℃.10a-1)与年最低气温(0.42℃.10a-1)均呈极显著地增加趋势(P<0.01);降水量年际间波动较大,无明显的变化趋势,各季节降水量也没有明显的变化规律;年降水日数呈显著减少趋势(1.3d.10a-1),各季的降水日数虽都有逐年减少趋势,但没有达到显著水平;年降水强度和各季降水强度都没有明显的变化规律;年总小雨日数呈显著的减少趋势(P<0.05),减少速率为1.0d.10a-1。

用固定化Oil-56黄杆菌修复地表水菌体形态变化

利用聚乙烯醇-海藻酸钠(PVA-Na.A lg)联合包埋固定化一株黄杆菌O il-56,进行污染地表水修复实验研究,结果表明固定化细菌的修复效果明显好于游离细菌。同时利用扫描电子显微镜观察了固定化颗粒内部细菌形态的变化,解释了由于Na.A lg溶解导致水体CODC r升高的原因,并分析了固定化颗粒传质扩散性能的缺陷,指出PVA-Na.A lg固定化工艺尚需改进。

STUDIES ON ORGANOLANTHANIDE COMPLEXES .56. FORMATION OF ION-PAIR COMPLEXES [NA.3PHEN]+[LN(C5H5)3CL]-.PHEN (LN=LA, PR OR ND, PHEN = 1,10-PHENANTHROLINE) AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE FOR LN=PR

In the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), lanthanide chlorides LnCl3 reacted with cyclopentadienylsodium to give the novel complexes [Na.3phen]+[Ln(C5H5)3Cl]-.phen (Ln = La, Pr or Nd). In the praseodymium case, crystal structure analysis showed that

Balanço hídrico na bacia do Jaguaribe, Ceará, utilizando evapotranspiração de referência Penman-Monteith FAO estimada com dados mínimos.

Os dados básicos para estimar a evapotranspiração de referência de Penman-Monteith FAO (EToPM) são: temperaturas máxima e mínima, pressão de vapor real ou atual, radiação líquida e velocidade do vento, muitas vezes indisponíveis por requererem estações meteorológicas específicas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a adequação do método para estimar a EToPM, utilizando-se dados mínimos integrados a um Sistema de Informação Geográfica, na bacia do Rio Jaguaribe, CE. Foi utilizado o sistema integrado de modelagem regional PRECIS (Providing Regional Climates for Impacts Studies), versão 1.2, com as condições de contorno do Modelo Climático Global (HadAM3P), acoplado ao Modelo Climático Regional (HadRM3P), por meio da técnica dinâmica de redução de escala (downscaling). Os dados foram analisados quanto a sua variabilidade espacial (latitude, longitude), utilizando-se o método geoestatístico de krigagem associado a um Sistema de Informação Geográfica. Para a validação do método, foi ajustada uma regressão linear entre EToPM estimada com dados mínimos (temperaturas máxima e mínima) e com dados medidos por uma estação de referência. A média da EToPM anual estimada com dados mínimos foi 1.719 mm. O método mostrou-se aceitável na região estudada, considerando os resultados da análise de regressão (coeficiente angular de 0,95, coeficiente de determinação de 0,902, resíduos menores que 0,45 mm dia-1 e a Raiz do Quadrado Médio do Erro (RQME) igual a 0,067 mm dia-1).

Phenotypical characterization in "Plasmopara halstedii" (sunflower downy mildew) isolates of several races

Phenotypic variation (morphological and pathogenic characters), and genetic variability were studied in 50 isolates of seven Plasmopara halstedii (sunflower downy mildew) races 100, 300, 304, 314, 710, 704 and 714. There were significant morphological, aggressiveness, and genetic differences for pathogen isolates. However, there was no relationship between morphology of zoosporangia and sporangiophores and pathogenic and genetic characteristics for the races used in our study. Also, our results provided evidence that no relation between pathogenic traits and multilocus haplotypes may be established in P. halstedii. The hypothesis explaining the absence of relationships among phenotypic and genetic characteristics is discussed.

New wild Brassica oleracea L. germplasm at its western distribution limit in the Iberian Peninsula

An exploration and collection mission for wild Brassica oleracea populations was carried out in spring and summer of 2013. The aim of this collection was to expand the number of accessions of wild Brassica oleracea available for basic and applied research in plant breeding. In this paper we report a new accession of wild Brassica oleracea in an unexplored coastal area of Galicia, NW Iberian Peninsula. Details of population ecology and vegetation, soil, climate and geographic data were recorded for this population. The “Endangered” threat category for the region is proposed, and actions for in situ and ex situ conservation are proposed. Seeds will be added to the germplasm collections of University of Santiago de Compostela and Misión Biológica de Galicia (CSIC) for further research on diverse aspects of the dynamics and ecophysiology of the population along with characterization and evaluation of useful traits.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHS) (I): Measures of prevention and control

Measures of prevention and control against polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) focus on an official food control, a code of best practice to reduce PAHs levels by controlling industry and in the development of a chemopreventive strategy. Regulation (EU) 835/2011 establishes maximum levels of PAHs for each food group. In addition, Regulations (EU) 333/2007 and 836/2011 set up the methods of sampling and analysis for its official control. Scientific studies prove that the chemopreventive strategy is effective against these genotoxic compounds effects. Most chemopreventive compounds studied with proven protective effects against PAHs are found in fruit and vegetables.

Optical colors of 56 near-Earth objects: trends with size and orbit

We present the results of BVRIZ photometry of 56 near-Earth objects (NEOs) obtained with the 1-m Jacobus Kapteyn telescope on La Palma during 2000 and 2001. Our sample includes many NEOs with particularly deep 1 - mum pyroxene/olivine absorption bands, similar to Q-type asteroids. We also classify three NEOs with particularly blue colors. No D-type asteroids were found, placing an upper limit of similar to2% on the fraction of the NEO population originating in the outer main belt or the Trojan clouds. The ratio of dark to bright objects in our sample was found to be 0.40, significantly higher than current theoretical predictions. As well as classifying the NEOs, we have investigated color trends with size and orbit. We see a general trend for larger silicate objects to have shallower absorption bands but find no significant difference in the distribution of taxonomic classes at small and large sizes. Our data clearly show that different taxonomic classes tend to occupy different regions of (a, e) space. By comparing our data with current model predictions for NEO dynamical evolution we see that Q- R-, and V-type NEOs tend to have orbits associated with "fast track" delivery from the main belt, whereas S-type NEOs tend to have orbits associated with "slow track" delivery. This outcome would be expected if space weathering occurs on time scales of >10(6) years. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
