Characterisation of early responses to cadmium in roots of Salix matsudana Koidz

This study deals with the characterisation of early responses of roots of Salix matsudana in respect to oxidative stress, subcellular distribution, and chemical forms when exposed to 50 μmol/L Cd. Within 12 h, the root length is reduced and the contents of O₂^??, H₂O₂, and malondialdehyde are increased by 49%, 43%, and 35%. Cd is mainly retained in the cell walls; small amounts are distributed into other cell organelles. The largest proportion of Cd is found in the NaCl extractable, pectate-, and protein-integrated fraction.     

Nitrogen-enriched micro-mesoporous carbon derived from polymers organic frameworks for high-performance capacitive deionization

Nitrogenization is an effective method for improving the capacitive deionization（CDI） performance of porous carbon materials. In particular, polymer organic frameworks with heteroatom doping, containing an ordered pore structure and excellent electrochemical stability, are ideal precursors for carbon materials for high-performance CDI. In this study, a nitrogen-enriched micro-mesoporous carbon（NMC） electrode was fabricated by carbonizing a Schiff base network-1 at 500, 600, and 700 °C. Scanning ...     

Inter-comparison of three instruments for measuring regional background carbon monoxide

Three CO instruments, i.e., vacuum ultraviolet resonance fluorescence (VUV-RF), gas chromatography/reduction gas detection (GC/RGD), and non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) spectrometry, were inter-compared at a background site, i.e., Lulin Atmospheric Baseline Station (LABS) in central Taiwan. For a period of 18 days of continuous measurements, highly coherent results were observed between the three instruments. Calibration of the GC/RGD and VUV-RF was based on the same batch of CO standards, producing results that agreed within 4%. Nevertheless, NDIR displayed a significant bias with a large offset compared to the other two instruments (about ?63.1 ppb), due mainly to its over-simplified calibration procedure. The NDIR bias was then removed by aligning the NDIR data to those of GC/RGD in a process termed “post-run correction”. Through this practice, the NDIR was linked to the same calibration scale as that of GC/RGD. As a result, by simultaneously exploiting both GC/RGD and NDIR to measure background CO, both time-resolution and accuracy can be secured.     

泥石流沟道侵蚀初探

泥石流是广泛分布于我国山区、破坏力极强的山地自然灾害之一,对山区经济发展、人民生命财产安全都有着极大的威胁.泥石流沟道侵蚀作为一种特殊的侵蚀类型,与一般水流相比,其侵蚀作用非常强烈,在一次过程中便可刷深沟床数米甚至数十米.泥石流沟道侵蚀的危害(桥梁、堤防基础暴露等)不亚于泥石流淤积.鉴于目前国内外在泥石流沟道侵蚀研究方面仍处于主要对野外观测资料进行简单分析的现状,对泥石流沟道侵蚀的模式和影响因素进行了探讨,建议今后应着重对泥石流沟道侵蚀动力学过程和机理的研究,建立泥石流沟道侵蚀特征与泥石流运动特征(流速、容重等)参数之间的定量关系.

Microbial degradation of propoxur in turfgrass soil.

This study was conducted to determine the degradation rates in turfgrass soil over a 12-month period after a single field application of propoxur and to isolate microorganisms from the soil capable of degrading the insecticide. Soil samples were collected from a turfgrass experimental site near Fort Lauderdale, FL one week before the field application of propoxur, and over a 12-month period after the field application. Mineralization rates in surface (0-15 cm depth) and subsurface (15-30 cm depth) soil samples collected before the field application were low. Mineralization in surface and subsurface samples collected 1, 6 and 8 months after the field application was much higher than for corresponding samples collected before the field application. Mineralization in the subsurface samples collected 12 months after the field application had reverted back to the similar rate for the corresponding sample collected before field application. Half-life values (t1/2) for propoxur showed similar trends to the results of mineralization. After a single application of propoxur, degradation in turfgrass soil was enhanced. Such enhancement lasted less than 12 months for the subsurface, but more than 12 months for the surface. A strain of Arthrobacter sp. capable of degrading propoxur was isolated from the soil.     

东西方文化分别对汉、英语语言的影响

文化是一个社会全部物质文明和精神文明的总和，是具有较强民族性的东西。一方面，语言既是文化的一部分，又是文化的载体；另一方面，文化对语言的发展又起着重要的制约作用。东西方文化在哲学观念、历史背景、生活环境、生活习俗等方面的不同分别影响着汉语和英语的形成、发展及应用，并使得它们在长期的使用中逐渐形成自己的特色。

Prenatal sonographic appearance of Beare-Stevenson cutis gyrata syndrome: two- and three-dimensional ultrasonographic findings

Beare-Stevenson cutis gyrata syndrome is characterized by craniofacial anomalies, particularly craniosynostosis, ear defects, cutis gyrata, acanthosis nigricans, anogenit anomalies, skin tags, and prominent umbilical stump. The prenatal two- and three-dimensional ultrasonographic findings of this rare condition is reported. The detection was made at 32 weeks of gestation in a woman with polyhydramnios and fetal head anomaly. The ultrasound appearance and postnatal follow‒up are presented.
