克隆植物的碳素生理整合及其生态学效应

碳素整合是克隆植物生理整合过程中非常重要的一部分,是克隆植物生存、生长、繁殖的物质基础.克隆植物碳素整合的基本机制具有一定的共同性或相似性,但克隆植物的种类不同、所处生境以及发育阶段不同或所受到的干扰、胁迫的程度不同,其碳素整合的范围、强度、方向、过程等也有所差异.本文对克隆植物碳素生理整合的基本特征、生态效应以及主要的影响因素进行了详细分析,并对迄今有关克隆植物碳素整合的最新研究进展进行了系统总结.同时,对碳素整合的主要研究方法进行了评价与展望,认为在今后研究中,应加强对克隆植物碳素整合的遗传学基础的研究,同时对于碳素整合的生理学、解剖学和生态学机制的研究也亟待深入.     

Green payments and dual policy goals

We use a mechanism design framework to analyze the optimal design of green payment policies with the dual goals of conservation and income support for small farms. Each farm is characterized by two dimensions of attributes: farms size and conservation efficiency. The policymaker may not be able to use the attributes as an explicit criterion for payments. We characterize optimal policy when conservation efficiency is unobservable to policymakers, and when farm size is also unobservable. An income support goal is shown to reduce the conservation distortion caused by asymmetric information. The cost of optimal green payment mechanisms is shown to depend crucially on whether large or small farms have greater conservation efficiency.     

模拟控制性分根交替滴灌对玉米的节水效应

以盆栽玉米为试材，模拟田间控制性分根交替滴灌(Controlled Root-divided alternative Drip Irrigation，简称CRDADI)供水方式对夏玉米净光合速率、气孔导度、蒸腾速率、水分利用效率及其根冠比的影响。结果表明，控制1／2根区交替滴灌(ADL)比常规滴灌(CK)节水25％而生物量仅下降9％，水分利用效率和根冠比均明显增加，气孔导度和蒸腾速率下降明显而净光合速率变化很小，蒸腾效率明显提高；控制：1／2根区固定滴灌(FDI2)水分利用效率虽然是CK的1．2倍，但生物量仅为CK的60．1％，ADI1的66．0％，严重影响了玉米的正常生长；控制1／2根区交替滴灌(ADI)比控制1／2根区固定滴灌(FDI)的根冠比、根干质量和根条数增加且根系分布均匀，地上部分生物量增加。表明控制性分根交替滴灌(ADI)能在不牺牲作物光合产物积累的前提下提高玉米的水分利用效率。     

新型聚铝硅复合絮凝剂的制备及性能研究

本文初步制备了两种新型聚铝硅复合絮凝剂：聚铝硅（含活化硅酸聚合铝，ＰＡＣＳｉ）和聚硅铝（聚硅酸硫酸铝，ＰＳｉＡＳ），研究对比了ＰＡＣＳｉ，ＰＳｉＡＳ与ＰＡＣ的絮凝性能。考察了硅酸聚合程度，硅、铝含量对其絮凝性能的影响，结果表明，提高硅酸聚合程度或硅、铝含量的增加均有利于增强絮凝性能，且随（Ｓｉ）／（Ａｌ）比值的提高，其絮凝性能也明显增加，在铝含量相同情况下，聚铝硅和聚硅铝的絮凝性能均优于聚合氯化铝     

Risk-taking by female ducks: intra- and interspecific tests of nest defense theory

We tested several predictions of nest defense theory by observing variation in flushing distance and probability of nest abandonment within and between six species of waterfowl. In these species, only the females incubate eggs and attend offspring. First, we examined whether flushing distance by females varied in relation to clutch size, stage of incubation, and time of season, after controlling for the number of visits made to nests by observers. Revisits by observers appeared to affect flushing distance by females for reasons unrelated to the relative value of the current clutch. We found that as incubation progressed, females allowed observers to approach more closely before flushing from the nest. In some species, females with larger clutches allowed closer approaches to nests before flushing which was also consistent with nest defense theory. In contrast, time of season (Julian date) did not relate to flushing distance for any species. When species were compared, we found that species with moderate to high yearly mortality and high reproductive output per breeding attempt (e.g., northern shoveler and blue-winged teal) were less likely to abandon nesting attempts and exhibited riskier behavior (remained at nests when approached closely by observers) than species that had lower yearly mortality (e.g., mallard). Our results show that flushing distance and patterns of nest abandonment by female ducks conform to several predictions of nest defense theory.Correspondence to: M.R.L. Forbes

Estimation of probabilities and likely consequences of a chain of accidents (domino effect) in Manali Industrial Complex

Chains of accidents (the domino effect) have been occurring with ever increasing frequency in chemical process industries. This is reflected in several accidents ‘J Loss Prevent Process Ind 12 (1999a) 361’; the world's worst industrial accident of the 1990s — the Vishakhpatnam disaster — also involved the domino effect ‘J Loss Prevent Process Ind 12 (1999a) 361; and Process Safety Prog 18 (1999b) 135’. Such chains of accidents have a greater propensity to cause damage than stand-alone accidents ‘Process Safety Prog 17(2) (1998a) 107; and J Loss Prevent Process Ind 12 (1999a) 361’.In order to assess the likelihood of occurrence of the domino effect and its damage potential, use of deterministic models in conjunction with probabilistic analysis is required. Recently we have proposed a systematic methodology called ‘domino effect analysis’ (DEA). A computer-automated tool, DOMIFFECT, has also been developed by us based on DEA ‘Process Safety Prog 17(2) (1998a) 107; Environment Model Software 13 (1998b) 163; and Risk assessment in chemical process industries: advanced techniques. Discovery Publishing House (1998c)’.This paper illustrates the application of DEA and DOMIFFECT to an industrial complex comprising 16 different industries. Out of 12 credible accident scenarios envisaged in three different industries — namely Madras Refineries Limited (MRL), UB Petrochemicals (UBP) and Indian Organic Chemicals Limited (IOCL), eight scenarios are likely to cause the domino effect. A further detailed analysis reveals that accidents in the storage of liquified petroleum gas and propylene and in the reflux drum units of MRL may cause domino effects. Similarly, propylene storage of UBP and monoethylene glycol storage of IOCL are also likely to cause domino effects. The impact of various chains of accidents has been forecast which reveals that in several cases the accidents may be catastrophic, harming the entire industrial complex of 16 industries. The study leads to the identification of ‘hot spots’ — units that pose the greatest risk — in turn forewarning the industries concerned and enabling them to prioritize and augment accident-prevention steps.

Genetic diagnosis by chorionic villus sampling before 8 gestational weeks: Efficiency,reliability, and risks on 317 completed pregnancies

Transabdominal chorionic villus sampling (TA-CVS) was attempted in 328 high-risk pregnancies at 6–7 weeks of gestation. Sampling was feasible in 97.7 per cent of cases; chorionic tissue specimens of more than 10 mg were obtained in 94.4 per cent ofcases at the first needle insertion and in 100 per cent after a second attempt. Fetal karyotyping succeeded in 99.4 per cent of cases, while no diagnostic failures were reported in enzymatic and DNA analyses. Fetal loss rate in the first 4 weeks after CVS was significantly higher than in the later CVS series (7.2 vs. 2.5 per cent), but 50 per cent of losses were observed within 2 weeks in cases of inviable aneuploidies. A high incidence of severe limb abnormalities (1.6 per cent) was detected in pregnancies intended to continue, confirming the aetiological role of early CVS. Unclear visualization of the placental limits and poor control of the needle path are thought to be the main reasons for the vascular disruption of the chorionic plate, and thereby hypoxic embryo tissue damage. A better selection of cases, together with high-resolution vaginal ultrasound visualization, and analytical techniques requiring a minimal amount of tissue should avoid any teratogenic effect of early CVS.
