用蒸汽-固体色谱法直接测定水中的有机化合物

本文提出了分析水中有机物的新方法。其原理是以蒸汽作载气,将水样直接注入气相色谱仪。文中介绍了蒸汽发生器,提出了被烃类、醇类和酮类污染的天然水的分析方法。方法简单、快速、能比较灵敏地检测不同极性和沸点的各种化合物,本法对烃类的灵敏度为10微克/升。研究了在蒸汽—固体色谱条件下火焰离子化检定器的性能。检定器的响应值恒定、能够重复,但低于在常规气相色谱条件下的响应值。氢气和蒸汽流动值的流速对检定器响应值的影响,不同于惰性载气对火焰离子化检定器的影响。实验条件在其他方面的影响与常规气相色谱法相似。     

Spectral heterogeneity of honeybee ommatidia

The honeybee compound eye is equipped with ultraviolet, blue, and green receptors, which form the physiological basis of a trichromatic color vision system. We studied the distribution of the spectral receptors by localizing the three mRNAs encoding the opsins of the ultraviolet-, blue- and green-absorbing visual pigments. The expression patterns of the three opsin mRNAs demonstrated that three distinct types ommatidia exist, refuting the common assumption that the ommatidia composing the bee compound eye contain identical sets of spectral receptors. We found that type I ommatidia contain one ultraviolet and one blue receptor, type II ommatidia contain two ultraviolet receptors, and type III ommatidia have two blue receptors. All the three ommatidial types contain six green receptors. The ommatidia appear to be distributed rather randomly over the retina. The ratio of type I, II, and III ommatidia was about 44:46:10. Type III ommatidia appeared to be slightly more frequent (18%) in the anterior part of the ventral region of the eye. Retinal heterogeneity and ommatidial randomness, first clearly demonstrated in butterflies, seems to be a common design principle of the eyes of insects.

用氧化裂解和四极质谱检测法测定地面水中有机悬浮物的元素组成

本研究采用燃烧后四极质谱(QMS)检测装置测定地面水中有机悬浮物的元素组成。用离心法收集几种类型水中的固体物质。结果表明,本方法可用于水特性鉴定等方面。包括予处理和元素分析约需30分钟。无论水污染研究还是废物和天然有机物代谢机理的探讨,都越来越对地面水中不溶物内的有机质部分的元素组成感兴趣。有机质的组成极为复杂,因为它可能含有多种工业组分及脂肪、蛋白质和碳水化合物的代谢物。所以,进行全面的结梅分析以确定化合物的种类及其含量是不实际的而且几乎是不可能的。然而,元素分析可以给出化合物种类的有用信息,如脂肪或蛋白质的存在。最近Baumeister(1978)进行了地面水中悬浮物的CHN分析(即碳氢氮分析,译注)。他发现,各种不同试样的颗粒中C/N比率颇为一致。这可说明均来源于生物。     

Seven suggestive quantitative trait loci influence hygienic behavior of honey bees

In 1964, Walter Rothenbuhler proposed a two-gene model to explain phenotypic variance in the remarkable behavior in which honey bee workers remove dead brood from their colonies. Rothenbuhler's model proposed that one locus controls the uncapping of brood cells containing dead pupae, while a second controls the removal of the cell contents. We show here, through molecular techniques and quantitative trait loci (QTL) linkage mapping, that the genetic basis of hygienic behavior is more complex, and that many genes are likely to contribute to the behavior. In our cross, we detected seven suggestive QTLs associated with hygienic behavior. Each detected QTL controlled only 9-15% of the observed phenotypic variance in the character.     

柴油机排气微粒特性的试验研究

柴油机微粒对人体健康的危害不仅取决于微粒量的多少,还取决于其分布和形态。柴油机微粒特性的系统分析对于进一步研究柴油机微粒对人体健康的危害以及柴油机微粒的净化技术都具有重要的意义。     

以规划保障饮用水源地安全

我国饮用水源安全目前面临严峻的形势，随着《国务院关于落实科学发展观加强环境保护的决定》的颁布和第六次环保大会的召开，饮用水源保护成为环保工作的重中之重。本文从“以人为本，可持续发展”的理念出发，建议规划中加强应用科学知识，全面规划，增设人性化的可持续发展工程等措施，提出“束导”并举，立足法律，细化法律，提高标准来提高水源地安全保障。[编者按]
