裁员是否降低了成本

2001年9月12日,全美国的上空没有商用飞机。当时,所有的航空公司都无法确定什么时候能够获准重新飞行,或是有多少乘客会登上笼罩在愁云惨雾中的飞机。航空公司面对的,不仅是9·11的灾难,而且是经济步入衰退的困境。几乎就在同时,所有的美国航空公司（只有一个是例外）都采用了大多数美国企业常用的一招：公布成千上万的裁员计划!     

美国矿山土地复垦制度对我国的启示

如何有效地开展矿山土地复垦、恢复生态环境,达到人口、资源和环境的可持续发展是我国矿山环境保护工作的重中之重。我国的矿区土地复垦工作远远滞后于发达国家,与美国的矿山土地复垦制度相比,我国的矿山土地复垦制度发展滞后。本文在借鉴发达国家矿山土地复垦制度成功经验的基础上,针对我国矿山土地复垦制度的不足提出了予以完善的建议和措施。

闽西南地区燕山晚期花岗岩黑云母特征及成因意义

本文通过黑云母的电子探针方法测试,分析闽西南地区才溪岩体、四方岩体及罗卜岭岩体中黑云母的地球化学特征及其成因意义。测试结果表明,才溪二长花岗岩中的黑云母为高铁黑云母,而四方花岗闪长岩及罗卜岭花岗闪长斑岩中的黑云母为高镁黑云母,在由黑云母成分确定的物质来源图上,它们均落入壳-幔混合源区域,表明其成因类型都是壳-幔混源型花岗岩,但随着形成时代的逐渐变新,其物质组成成分中幔源组分逐渐增多。

Isolation and characteristics of a novel biphenyl-degrading bacterial strain, Dyella ginsengisoli LA-4

A novel biphenyl-degrading bacterial strain LA-4 was isolated from activated sludge. It was identified as Dyella ginsengisoli according to phylogenetic similarity of 16S rRNA gene sequence. This isolate could utilize biphenyl as sole source of carbon and energy, which degraded over 95 mg/L biphenyl within 36 h. The major metabolites formed from biphenyl, such as 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-phenylhexa-2,4-dienoic acid (HOPDA) and benzoic acid, were identified by LC-MS. The crude cell extract of strain LA-4 exhibited the activity of 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase (2,3-DHBD) and the kinetic parameters were Km= 26.48 μmol/L and Vmax= 8.12 μmol/mg protein. A conserved region of the biphenyl dioxygenase gene bphA1 of strain LA-4 was amplified by PCR and confirmed by DNA sequencing.     

Combined fluorescence and electrochemical investigation on the binding interaction between organic acid and human serum albumin

Human serum albumin (HSA) is a plasma protein responsible for the binding and transport of fatty acids and a variety of exogenous chemicals such as drugs and environmental pollutants. Such binding plays a crucial role in determining the ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) and bioavailability of the pollutants. We report investigation on the binding interaction between HSA and acetic acid (C2), octanoic acid (C8) and dodecanoic acid (C12) by the combination of site-specific fluorescent probe, tryptophan intrinsic fluorescence and tyrosine electrochemistry. Two fluorescent probes, dansylamide and dansyl-L-proline, were employed in the displacement measurement to study fatty acid interaction with the two drug-binding sites on HSA. Intrinsic fluorescence of tryptophan in HSA was monitored upon addition of the fatty acids into HSA. Electrocatalyzed response of the tyrosine residues in HSA by a redox mediator was used to investigate the binding interaction. Qualitatively, observations made by the three approaches are very similar. HSA did not show any change in either fluorescence or electrochemistry after mixing with C2, suggesting there is no significant interaction with the short-chain fatty acid. For C8, the measured signal dropped in a single-exponential fashion, indicative of independent and non-cooperative binding. The calculated association constant and binding ratio is 3.1×106 L/mol and 1 with drug binding Site I, 1.1×107 L/mol and 1 with Site II, and 7.0×104 L/mol and 4 with the tryptophan site. The measurement with C12 displayed multiple phases of fluorescence change, suggesting cooperativity and allosteric effect of C12 binding. These results correlate well with those obtained by the established methods, and validate the new approach as a viable tool to study the interactions of environmental pollutants with biological molecules.
