Prenatal diagnosis of mosaicism 46, XX/46, XX, −21, +t(21q21q)

Mosaicism for a structural chromosome abnormality in amniotic cell cultures indicative of true fetal mosaicism is a rare event. In addition to the laboratory findings the clinical interpretation for counselling in such cases is based on observation of the same abnormality in liveborns as well as previous experience with prenatal diagnosis of the same or similar abnormalities. We report here the prenatal diagnos is of 46,XX/46,XX,−21,+t(21q21q) which was confirmed in fetal skin cell and amnion cell cultures.     

聚合氯化铝中纳米Al13电荷特性及其混凝效果

采用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶柱层析法分离纯化聚合氯化铝(PAC)中的Al₁₃形态,并采用Al-Ferron逐时络合比色法和ZATESIZER 3000HSA测定仪对分离所得纳米Al₁₃形态以及AlCl₃和PAC进行了分析表征和电荷特性的对比性研究;采用烧杯实验法对3个样品处理实际和模拟水样的混凝效果进行了对比性研究.Al-Ferron逐时络合比色法的结果表明,采用层析法分离可得到含量99%左右的纳米Al₁₃形态;电荷特性和混凝效果研究结果表明纳米Al₁₃形态较其它两者具有更好的除浊、除腐殖酸和脱色效果并且具有更强的电中和能力,因此Al₁₃形态是一种具有较高正电荷和较高的水解稳定性,在给水和废水处理中的一种较为有效的Al形态.     

Intertemporal quota arbitrage in multispecies fisheries

In the management of natural resources, regulation often induces behavioral responses by resource users that ultimately undermine stated policy objectives. Examples of these unintended consequences have been associated with regulations ranging from the Endangered Species Act to laws governing clean air. In this paper we investigate an unintended behavioral response that can be triggered by conservation measures in multispecies fishery management, which leads to increased targeting of the species the conservation measures are meant to protect. Harvest is subject to stochastic variation, with output partially determined by the probability of encountering species of interest, either due to targeting or avoidance. Given the right conditions, an intertemporal arbitrage opportunity arises due to the fact that by targeting a stock in the current period, the probability of encountering that stock in the next period, when announced conservation measures are implemented, decreases. We present an empirical case study that supports the findings of the theoretical model. The results indicate that, by targeting so called weak stocks, some New England fishermen are willing to trade off increased costs today for increased expected profits in the future. To prevent the potentially harmful effects of this behavioral response, a manager may adopt precautionary provisions at the time a quota reduction is announced, or alternatively allow the industry to bank part of its current season's quota in order to alleviate the consequences of the reduction in the ensuing period. These results highlight the challenge of developing effective conservation strategies.
