笼养间蜂猴的繁殖

1989年至今, 对15只(10♂♂, 5♀♀)成年间蜂猴在人工饲养条件下的繁殖进行观察, 结果为: 1.间蜂猴的繁殖有明显的季节性; 2.发情周期为49.67d(SD=1.25), 在此期间, 雌性外生殖器红肿、变大; 雄性阴囊胀大; 3.交配以背腹相贴为主; 4.怀孕期为188d; 5.哺乳期为108d(SD=4.12); 6.均为一胎二仔。

温度对烟蚜茧蜂发育、生殖的影响

烟蚜茧蜂发育速率与温度的关系符合逻辑斯蒂曲线,即25℃从卵至羽化所需历期最短(10.67d),30℃发育历期稍有延长(11.6d)。卵至羽化的发育起点温度为3.3℃,有效积温为266.0日度。烟蚜茧蜂雌蜂羽化当天即可产卵,在产卵期的前4天产出总卵量的90%(15-30℃);在6:30-22:30产出总卵量的80%。温度>25℃对烟蚜茧蜂雌蜂的寿命、生殖力,以及对僵蚜体重和羽化率均造成显著的负影响。烟蚜茧蜂雌蜂的寿命、性比、生殖力及僵蚜的体重和羽化率均在20℃时达最佳,结合发育历期的结果,认为该蜂大规模人工繁殖和释放的最佳温度范围是20-25℃。就研究结果在生物防治中的应用也进行了讨论。

Effect of delayed start of light-curing on microtensile bond strengths of two adhesives bonded to dentin

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the microtensile bond strength to dentin (ATBS) of two total-etching adhesives applied with delays of 1-30 s for curing. Fifty extracted molar teeth were used. Occlusal enamel was sectioned to expose flat dentin surface, which was further polished with 600-grit paper for smear layer standardization. The specimens were divided into two groups, G1: Single Bond total-etching adhesive (SB), and G2: Prime & Bond NT total-etching adhesive (PB). Each group was further divided into 5 subgroups according to the delayed light-cure initiation after the adhesive systems application (n=5): Subgroup 1s - 1 s; Subgroup 5s -5 s; Subgroup 10s - 10 s; Subgroup 20s - 20 s; Subgroup 30s - 30 s. Composite resin cones 5 mm height and 10 mm in diameter were fabricated. Specimens were stored in distilled water at 37 degrees C for 24 h and sectioned to obtain 1 x 1 mm(2) transversal specimens. Specimens were thermocycled and mu TBS was measured. Data were submitted to two-way ANOVA (AdhesiveXDelay time) and Tukey's test. The level of significance was set at 5%. The results in mean MPa(+/- SD) for interaction between adhesive and delay time were: PB/1s - 23.82 +/- 2.54a; SB/5s - 19.52 +/- 2.67b; PB/5s - 18.56 +/- 3.06bc; SB/1s - 15.49 +/- 2.69cd; SB/20s - 16.33 +/- 2.55d; SB/10s - 13.88 +/- 1.67d; PB/10s - 11.04 +/- 1.28e; PB/30s - 10.89 +/- 1.31e; PB/20s - 10.24 +/- 2.33e; SB/30s - 9.19 +/- 1.91e. It was concluded that light-cure initiation timing of total-etching adhesives interferes negatively with mu TBS to dentin. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Composition of rocks and minerals from the Cape Verde Fault Zone

Results of comprehensive geological, geophysical and geochemical studies carried out in the Cape Verde Fracture Zone (Central Atlantic) during Cruise 9 of R/V ''Antares'' (1990-1991) are published in the book. Detailed characterization of various bedrock complexes (ultrabasites, gabbroids, dolerites, basalts, metamorphic rocks) is given. Geological conditions of newly found hydrothermal mineralization in the area are described. Problems of ore melts are under consideration. New data on hydrochemical anomalies and heat flow are given. The book contains original materials on sedimentary formations of the area.

Chemical composition of rocks and minerals from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge near 15°20'N

The monograph summarizes results of petrological and geochemical studies of rocks from the ocean floor collected by the authors during expeditions to the Central Atlantic. Detailed work in the Capa Verde transform fault zone gave a large amount of new information about magmatic and hydrothermal systems of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from the R/V Thomas Washington ROUNDABOUT Cruise stations

The cores described are taken during the R/V Thomas Washington ROUNDABOUT Cruise from May 1988 until March 1989 by the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. A total of 159 cores and dredges were recovered and are available at Scripps Institute of Oceanography for sampling and study.
