砷在三种紫色土中的化学行为及其与作物效应的关系

通过水稻在不同砷浓度处理过的三种紫色土的盆栽试验,研究了砷的吸附特征,形态变化及其与砷的作物效应的关系,揭示了砷在不同土壤中对水稻毒害和在水稻体内累积程度不一样的原因是由于不同土壤的性质影响到砷的吸附和形态变化。其中砷在土壤中的形态变化是最重要的因素之一。在诸形态中,以A-As和Ca-As最为重要。土壤的碳酸盐体系可能是影响三种紫色土砷的化学行为及其生态效应的一个重要因素。

Design parameters for coastal dikes

This paper presents results of the assessment of the design parameters leading to the definition of the crest level of a coastal dike along the German North Sea. Procedures to estimate the design water level have been proposed, distinguishing between comparative and single value procedures. The transformation of the wave characteristics from deep water towards the shallow foreshore was achieved through the application of a spectral wave model. To improve the wave parameter estimations, the existing model was nested to a grid with a higher resolution closer to the coast. The estimation of the wave run-up followed the Dutch procedure with some adjustments to the local wave characteristics and dike geometry. The computed maximum crest level of 8.4 m is below the crest height of the existing dike, which is 8.8 m. However a proposal for a more economical design should be carefully evaluated, paying attention to the uncertainties encountered in this research. The general recommendation is to enhance the reliability of the hindcasted wave parameters through calibration and validation of the wave model and to include in the design process an investigation of the effect of the medium term morphological developments.     

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of Nicotiana attenuata, a model ecological expression system

Summary. Research into the genetic basis of the ecological sophistication of plants is hampered by the availability of transformable systems with a wealth of well-described ecological interactions. We present an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system for the model ecological expression system, Nicotiana attenuata, a native tobacco that occupies the post-fire niche in the Great Basin Desert of North America. We describe a transformation vector and a transformation procedure that differs from the standard cultivated tobacco transformation protocols in its use of selectable markers, explants, media and cultivation conditions. We illustrate its utility in the transformations with genes coding for key enzymes in the oxylipin cascade (lipoxygenase, allene oxide synthase, hydroperoxide lyase) in antisense orientations and present high-throughput screens useful for the detection of altered phenotypes for the oxylipin cascade (green leaf volatiles and jasmonic acid after wounding).

The Threat of Transformation: Quantifying the Vulnerability of Grasslands in South Africa

Abstract:  The ability to predict which areas of conservation importance are most vulnerable to transformation and to rank the relative damage that transforming land uses could cause to biodiversity are important components of an effective and realistic conservation planning process. We used the South African grassland biome as a case study to illustrate the assessment of vulnerability to land-use transformation through the construction of a "threat map." We identified the dominant transforming land uses and created suitability models based on area appropriateness for each. Land uses were scored according to their expected relative impacts on biodiversity, with a framework that included compositional, structural, and functional components. This information, once combined, resulted in a map that highlighted the areas most vulnerable to transformation in terms of the likelihood of their transformation and the impact on their biodiversity. We propose that such an analysis of the threat of transformation, in combination with species-representation approaches, will aid the integration of conservation planning theory and decision making. This approach can be applied at any scale and in any region with a robustness and accuracy dependent on data quality, resultant suitability models, and comprehension of how land uses affect an area's biodiversity.     

火灾中硅酸盐水泥制品的膨胀爆炸与开裂

本文介绍了四川消防科研所自1972年以来开展的钢筋混凝土建筑构件和建筑材料耐火性能研究工作中关于硅酸盐水泥制品在火灾温度条件下膨胀、爆炸与开裂方面的实验研究情况。通过对有关各类以硅酸盐为重要成分的建筑构件和制品的反复试验研究与理论分析，初步掌握了一定程度的膨胀、爆炸以及开裂的物理、化学变化特征。着重指出了应用于建筑中的硅酸盐水泥制品－诸如混凝土构建或装修板材之类，它们的这些特性对建筑物的防火、灭火都有很大的威胁，应该对其产生的根本原因和预防对策进行更加深入的研究，以避免因制品的破坏而导致火灾蔓延和减少消防人员在扑救火灾过程中所造成的不必要的伤亡。
