Mature male dab (Limanda limanda) acclimated at 10° and 16°C were orally administered a single dose of 0.5 mg/kg 3,3′,4,4′-tetrachlorobiphenyl (CB77). At both temperatures, levels of cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) protein and 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity showed a two to six fold induction 40 days after CB77 treatment compared to control groups. Maximum responses of both EROD activity and CYP1A protein for the warm-acclimated fish were observed at 5 days after treatment. For the cold-acclimated fish a slow, progressive elevation for both EROD activity and CYP1A protein was observed and maximum responses were measured 40 days after treatment. Absolute EROD activity and CYPIA protein levels of fish from both temperatures were equally high at 40 days after treatment. Since in the control groups EROD activity and CYP1A protein levels were higher in the cold-acclimated fish, the magnitude of induction was higher in the warm acclimated ones. The highest concentrations of CB77 in muscle of fish from both temperatures were found at 5 and 10 days after treatment. The liver somatic index (LSI) showed 1.5 fold significantly higher values for the fish acclimated at 10°C. 相似文献

This article analyses the benefits and shortcomings of the recently developed decision support systems (DSS) FLUMAGIS, Elbe-DSS,
CatchMODS, and MedAction. The analysis elaborates on the following aspects: (i) application area/decision problem, (ii) stakeholder
interaction/users involved, (iii) structure of DSS/model structure, (iv) usage of the DSS, and finally (v) most important
shortcomings. On the basis of this analysis, we formulate four criteria that we consider essential for the successful use
of DSS in landscape and river basin management. The criteria relate to (i) system quality, (ii) user support and user training,
(iii) perceived usefulness and (iv) user satisfaction. We can show that the availability of tools and technologies for DSS
in landscape and river basin management is good to excellent. However, our investigations indicate that several problems have
to be tackled. First of all, data availability and homogenisation, uncertainty analysis and uncertainty propagation and problems
with model integration require further attention. Furthermore, the appropriate and methodological stakeholder interaction
and the definition of ‘what end-users really need and want’ have been documented as general shortcomings of all four examples
of DSS. Thus, we propose an iterative development process that enables social learning of the different groups involved in
the development process, because it is easier to design a DSS for a group of stakeholders who actively participate in an iterative
process. We also identify two important lines of further development in DSS: the use of interactive visualization tools and
the methodology of optimization to inform scenario elaboration and evaluate trade-offs among environmental measures and management
alternatives. 相似文献

The neural mechanisms underlying cricket singing behavior have been the focus of several studies, but the central pattern
generator (CPG) for singing has not been localized conclusively. To test if the abdominal ganglia contribute to the singing
motor pattern and to analyze if parts of the singing CPG are located in these ganglia, we systematically truncated the abdominal
nerve cord of fictively singing crickets while recording the singing motor pattern from a front-wing nerve. Severing the connectives
anywhere between terminal ganglion and abdominal ganglion A3 did not preclude singing, although the motor pattern became more
variable and failure-prone as more ganglia were disconnected. Singing terminated immediately and permanently after transecting
the connectives between the metathoracic ganglion complex and the first unfused abdominal ganglion A3. The contribution of
abdominal ganglia for singing pattern generation was confirmed by intracellular interneuron recordings and current injections.
During fictive singing, an ascending interneuron with its soma and dendrite in A3 depolarized rhythmically. It spiked 10 ms
before the wing-opener activity and hyperpolarized in phase with the wing-closer activity. Depolarizing current injection
elicited rhythmic membrane potential oscillations and spike bursts that elicited additional syllables and reliably reset the
ongoing chirp rhythm. Our results disclose that the abdominal ganglion A3 is directly involved in generating the singing motor
pattern, whereas the more posterior ganglia seem to provide only stabilizing feedback to the CPG circuit. Localizing the singing
CPG in the anterior abdominal neuromeres now allows analyzing its circuitry at the level of identified interneurons in subsequent
studies. 相似文献

The dynamics of shifting cultivation captured in an extended Constrained Cellular Automata land use model 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

This paper presents an extension to the Constrained Cellular Automata (CCA) land use model of White et al. [White, R., Engelen, G., Uljee, I., 1997. The use of constrained cellular automata for high-resolution modelling of urban land-use dynamics. Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design 24(3), 323–343] to make it better suited for modelling the dynamics of shifting cultivation. In the extended model the time passed since the last land use transition of a location is a factor of its land use potential. The model can now account for the gradual decrease in soil fertility after an area of forest has been cleared for cultivation and also capture the process of regeneration once the plot is fallowed. The model is applied for the Ruhunupura area of Sri Lanka where chena, a particular practice of shifting cultivation, is a common land use that dominates the landscape dynamics. The model is calibrated for the period 1985–2001 and the results are assessed in terms of location to location overlap as well as structural similarity at multiple scales. These results give confidence in the representation of land use dynamics for the main land use classes. On the basis of a long term scenario run for the period 2001–2030, it is verified that the model captures stylized facts related to chena dynamics, in particular shortening fallow periods and increasingly long cultivation periods of chena, as a result of increasing land use pressure. 相似文献

With about half of its territory being farmed, agriculture is the main land use in the European Union (EU). As over 10% of the total EU manufacturing output comes from the agri-food sector, it also is an economic factor of great importance. Moreover, EU policy in this sector has far-reaching consequences ranging from the EU's status as a global trade partner to landscape preservation and development. The LUMOCAP Policy Support System is targeted towards policy makers in the European Commission (EC) and its Member States (MS) and aims to provide support in the field of sustainable agricultural and rural development. To this end it incorporates an integrated model with socio-economic and bio-physical processes, operating at different spatial scales. For supporting integrated assessment, a large number of policy levers is included as inputs for these models and outputs are transformed into policy-relevant social, economic and environmental indicators. The whole system is framed in a flexible, modular and easy to use software package that is useable for process experts and policy-analysts alike.This paper describes the integrated model, the individual models and a first calibration of the system. It demonstrates the system's behaviour for typical scenario runs and concludes with a reflection on the current status of the system and some recommendations for further development. 相似文献
