诱导喷嘴改进滤筒清灰效果的数值模拟

采用计算流体动力学数值模拟方法,对规格为325 mm×660 mm滤筒在采用高效诱导喷嘴(超音速引流喷嘴和气流散射器)喷吹时的内部流场进行研究。通过分析喷吹气流在滤筒内的压力分布云图和喷嘴处的速度分布图,得出模拟结果与脉冲喷吹实验结果基本一致,验证了数值模拟的可靠性和实验的准确性。进而从微观上分析得出采用诱导喷嘴可使气流更加稳定的进入滤筒内部,以此确保滤筒长度方向上内壁清灰压力的均匀性,对滤筒清灰效果有明显的改善作用,为解决滤筒的清灰问题提供了一定的指导。

Sources and Distribution of Polychlorinated Terphenyls at a Major US Aeronautics Research Facility

O -deethylase (EROD) activity to a similar degree as PCB Aroclor 1254 and to a greater extent than PCT Aroclor 5460. The presence of high concentrations of PCTs contributed to the facility being included on the National Priorities List. It subsequently became the first US federal facility to sign a Federal Facility Agreement, identifying cleanup responsibilities, prior to formal listing.     

Larval host plant origin modifies the adult oviposition preference of the female European grapevine moth <Emphasis Type="Italic">Lobesia botrana</Emphasis>

According to the 'natal habitat preference induction' (NHPI) hypothesis, phytophagous insect females should prefer to lay their eggs on the host species on which they developed as larvae. We tested whether this hypothesis applies to the breeding behaviour of polyphagous European grapevine moth, Lobesia botrana, an important pest in European vineyards. We previously found that different grape cultivars affect several life history traits of the moth. Because the different cultivars of grapes are suspected to provide different plant quality, we tested the NHPI hypothesis by examining oviposition choice of L. botrana among three Vitis vinifera cultivars (Pinot, Chasselas and Chardonnay). In a choice situation, females of L. botrana that had never experienced grapes were able to discriminate between different grape cultivars and preferentially selected Pinot as an oviposition substrate. This 'naive' preference of oviposition could be modified by larval environment: Females raised on grapes as larvae preferred to lay eggs on the cultivar that they had experienced. Furthermore, experience of the host plant during adult emergence could be excluded because when pupae originating from our synthetic diet were exposed to grapes, the emerging adults did not show preference for the cultivar from which they emerged. The NHPI hypothesis that includes the two sub-hypothesis "Hopkins host selection principle" and "chemical legacy" may thus be relevant in this system.     

Effect of the endectocide ivermectin on filamentous fungi

We investigated the effect of ivermectin, at environmental concentrations and above, on several strains of filamentous fungi. Ivermectin did not show significant short-term effect on biomass production and germination rate of the spores. By contrast, the spore production was stimulated twofold in Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Mucor racemosus cultures, whereas that endpoint was reduced in Fusarium cultures. A long-term exposure of F. oxysporum to ivermectin reduced both production and germination of fungal spores. Ivermectin was not an inducer of exocellular oxidases.     

Female rock shrimp<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Rhynchocinetes typus</Emphasis> mate in rapid succession up a male dominance hierarchy

The dynamics of male-male competition for mates and patterns of female choice depend critically on the social environment. We released newly molted sexually receptive females of the rock shrimp Rhynchocinetes typus in the field and recorded their interactions with males. In the dense aggregations in which these shrimp live, most females were encountered and seized by males within 2 min. Usually, females were first seized by subordinate males, and subsequently taken over by the dominant males. Many females (17 out of 23) had multiple mates during the 10-min observation period, and most of them received spermatophores from multiple males. Males used different mating tactics in accordance with their dominance status: subordinate males often used the sneaking tactic, seizing the female and immediately transferring spermatophores. In contrast, all dominant males used the primary mating tactic; they seized and stimulated the female before transferring spermatophores. Results from previous studies had indicated that females may reduce the fertilization chances of subordinate males by delaying spawning and removing spermatophores. We suggest that this capability in combination with the observed rapid mate succession may enable females to exploit male contest behaviors.Communicated by P. Backwell

表油菜素内酯对珍珠菜叶片愈伤组织诱导的影响

研究了表油菜素内酯（epiBR）对珍珠菜（Artemisialactiflora）叶片愈伤组织诱导的影响，结果表明，MS培养基中含有epiBR后，愈伤组织的诱导频率明显提高，比不加任何激素的高1～6倍．如在该系统中再加入6－BA，epiBR不仅能显著提高愈伤组织的产生，而且能使愈伤组织中的蛋白组份发生明显的改变，这种协同效应强于IAA和6－BA的协同效应。电镜观察表明，epiBR与其它激素诱导的愈伤组织处于不同的细胞分裂期，暗示愈伤组织的生长速率明显不同．     

稀土元素钕对菲律宾蛤仔金属硫蛋白的诱导效应

稀土元素能否诱导海洋生物合成MTs(金属硫蛋白),将影响到MTs对海水重金属的指示作用. 以菲律宾蛤仔(Ruditapes philippinarum)为试验动物,采用含稀土Nd3+的人工海水对其进行暴露培养,测定蛤仔鳃部和内脏中MTs含量随暴露剂量和时间的变化. 结果表明,Nd3+暴露能够增加蛤仔体内MTs含量. ρ(Nd3+)为0.1～10 μg/L时能明显促进蛤仔鳃和内脏MTs的合成;蛤仔在ρ(Nd3+)为1 μg/L下暴露培养7 d,内脏MTs含量达到最高水平;同时,光谱扫描及SDS-PAGE分析表明,Nd3+诱导的蛤仔内脏中MTs在258 nm处有特征吸收峰,主要以二聚体和三聚体的形式存在,分子质量分别为13.0和18.1 ku.      

双介质矿岩轴向加载损伤破坏试验分析研究

为研究夹石对矿体力学变形特性的影响,选用全精炼的工业石蜡作为夹石模拟材料,并与水泥和矿粉进行配比制样。通过表壁裂纹扩展、微观成像、表壁应变值变化、整体加载压缩变形、磁感应强度变化、红外温度测量共同表征夹石试样在加载过程中的力学变形特征,厘清夹石矿岩的破坏特点。同时提出了一种数值模拟夹石的方法,进行不同夹石含量矿岩的安全系数、最大主应力及不同监测点处应变值的变化监测。试验结果表明:存在夹石的试样在加载过程中表壁出现较多裂纹条数,且以短裂纹为主,分布区域较广;表壁纵向应变变化较平稳,而横向应变存在阶梯型变化;红外温度测量并无恒定的变化幅度,存在升降的起伏变化;磁感应强度值变化存在上升下降型、下降平稳型、下降上升型的变化特点。数值模拟结果表明:夹石的存在弱化了矿岩的整体强度,这与相似模拟结果具有一致性。同时不同的夹石强度对矿岩的整体稳定性影响不一样。当试样的整体稳定性与夹石的物理性质有关,夹石强度是矿石强度50%左右时,彼此接触严丝合缝,夹石存在及含量的多少产生的影响不大;如果夹石强度只是矿石强度的2%时,相应的测点起伏变化较大;如果试样完整性不好,存在较多微观空区,空区附近的相应测点的应变值变化起伏较大。
