Persistence of Eclosion Rhythm in Drosophila melanogaster After 600 Generations in an Aperiodic Environment

 The ubiquity of circadian rhythms suggests that they have an intrinsic adaptive value (Ouyang et al. 1998; Ronneberg and Foster 1997). Some experiments have shown that organisms have enhanced longevity, development time or growth rates when maintained in environments whose periodicity closely matches their endogenous period (Aschoff et al. 1971; Highkin and Hanson 1954; Hillman 1956; Pittendrigh and Minis 1972; Went 1960). So far there has been no experimental evidence to show that circadian rhythms per se (i.e. periodicity itself, as opposed to phasing properties of a rhythm) confer a fitness advantage. We show that the circadian eclosion rhythm persists in a population of the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster maintained in constant conditions of light, temperature, and humidity for over 600 generations. The results suggest that even in the absence of any environmental cycle there exists some intrinsic fitness value of circadian rhythms.

六六六在水溶液中的光异构化与光化学降解

以高压汞灯为光源,研究了六六六(BHC)在水溶液中的光解。在水溶液中,除α-BHC外,BHC的光化学降解与光异构化是同时发生的。光异构化规律是:分子中一个氯原子改变其原来构象而朝着形成对光更加稳定的异构体转化。经色质谱联用鉴定,证明氯苯、二氯苯、四氯环己烯、一氯酚、二氯酚、三氯酚及三氯环己烯醇为BHC在水溶液中的光解产物。提出了包含还原脱氯和羟基取代的这一光解反应的历程。     

管式反应器石灰雾液脱硫的数学模拟

建立的一维管式反应器雾液脱硫模型是对蒸发和吸收过程的耦合，以膜理论为基础的吸收机理同时考虑了含硫组分的离解、扩散、反应和固体颗粒的溶解。参数敏感性分析表明，对系统脱硫率影响最显的是出口干湿球温差，石灰颗粒粒度和入口ＳＯ２浓度、传质过程的分析表明，反应开始阶段液膜扩散和固体溶解阻力均存在，而气膜扩散在整个反应过程中都起着重要作用。
