Conservation of Bio synthetic pheromone pathways in honeybees Apis

Social insects use complex chemical communication systems to govern many aspects of their life. We studied chemical changes in Dufours gland secretions associated with ovary development in several genotypes of honeybees. We found that C28–C38 esters were associated only with cavity nesting honeybee queens, while the alcohol eicosenol was associated only with their non-laying workers. In contrast, both egg-laying anarchistic workers and all parasitic Cape workers from queenright colonies showed the typical queen pattern (i.e. esters present and eicosenol absent), while egg-laying wild-type and anarchistic workers in queenless colonies showed an intermediate pattern, producing both esters and eicosenol but at intermediate levels. Furthermore, neither esters nor eicosenol were found in aerial nesting honeybee species. Both esters and eicosenol are biosynthetically similar compounds since both are recognizable products of fatty acid biosynthesis. Therefore, we propose that in honeybees the biosynthesis of esters and eicosenol in the Dufours gland is caste-regulated and this pathway has been conserved over evolutionary time.     

恐龙骨骼化石与其它脊椎动物骨骼的微量元素的对比研究

采用中子活化分析 (INAA)技术 ,对比分析恐龙骨骼化石及其它脊椎动物 (乌龟、鱼和大量哺乳动物 )骨骼中微量元素的含量组合 ,结果表明稀土、砷、钡、铀元素在恐龙骨骼化石中的含量远高于其它脊椎动物骨骼 ,而锌元素的含量情况却与之相反 ;同时进一步分析推测得出 :这种砷、钡元素含量的高异常和锌元素的低异常 ,极可能是导致四川盆地恐龙动物群集群死亡的原因之一。     

太原市工业区大气中TSP浓度及元素成分分析

采用校正空白称量法对太原市工业区大气中ＴＳＰ浓度进行了测定分析，对该区大气ＴＳＰ浓度随时间变化的规律，超标情况及污染特征进行了研究，同时测定了ＴＳＰ中Ｃｒ、Ｐｂ等１２种元素的含量。     

额尔齐斯—玛因鄂博断裂带——新疆一个重要的构造结合带

新疆阿勒泰区的额尔齐斯—玛因鄂博断裂带是划分阿尔泰褶皱区与北准噶尔褶皱区的一条重要构造结合带。南北两区,无论在地层、构造、喷发—侵入活动、矿化作用以及变质程度上均有明显不同,资料表明,它经历了长期的发育过程,最终发展成为两区的天然分界线。     

草甸棕壤对~(210)Pb(Pb)、~(210)Bi的吸附和pH的影响

根据土壤中几种无机配位体浓度,推算了Pb不同沉淀形式所对应的浓度,并将其与~(210)Pb示踪实验测量值对比,证明土壤中Pb主要是以磷酸盐形式存在。~(210)Bi和Pb共沉淀后被土壤吸附。pH对土壤~(210)Pb(Pb)、~(210)Bi、吸附影响曲线形状相似。土壤Pb和~(210)Bi分别在pH值为5和2.6时解吸。测定了土壤—水系统中~(210)Pb和~(210)Bi的分配系数,分别为(0.5—0.6)×10~3和(0.3—3.0)×10~4。     

江苏省盐城市环境空气质量综合评价及整治对策

随着经济发展的加速,盐城已逐步融入长三角经济体系中,城市现代化建设正在大踏步向前迈进,城市生态环境问题也日益受到关注,生态环境问题已成为社会关注的焦点,是衡量盐城社会经济发展的重要指标,实现环境、经济、社会的和谐发展已逐步成为人们的共识.文章针对盐城环境空气质量问题,运用SO2、NO2和PM10等指标表示空气环境质量,采用模糊综合评价方法对盐城空气环境质量等级进行了划分,并采用API指数评价方法对污染程度作出了评价,分析了盐城环境空气质量面临的挑战,提出了盐城市区污染的防控措施.
