清明时节话"雨花石"-玛瑙

清明节前后数以万计的工人、干部、学生等前往南京雨花台凭吊革命先烈.也是我国扫墓祭祖的传统习俗,到雨花台除了瞻仰革命烈士陵墓之外,总不能不为那些玲珑可爱的小石子"雨花石"所吸引.有人把它们比做烈士鲜血的结晶.     

萃取分光光度法测定工业废气中的游离溴

用萃取分光光度法测定工业废气中的游离溴，并对样品的采集与保存，萃取条件的选择进行了研究。结果表明，当溴的含量在１８．０－４５０．０μｇ／ｍＬ范围同时，吸光度与浓度具有良好的线性关系，方法的采样效率大于９９％，精密度和准确度较好当采集气体为１００Ｌ时，最低检出肖度为０．１４ｍｇ／ｍ＾３。     

The nature of the redshift and directly observed quasar statistics

The nature of the cosmic redshift is one of the most fundamental questions in modern science. Hubble's discovery of the apparent Expansion of the Universe is derived from observations on a small number of galaxies at very low redshifts. Today, quasar redshifts have a range more than 1000 times greater than those in Hubble's sample, and represent more than 100 times as many objects. A recent comprehensive compilation of published measurements provides the basis for a study indicating that quasar observations are not in good agreement with the original predictions of the Expanding Universe theory, but are well fit by the predictions of an alternative theory having fewer adjustable parameters.     

Zelluläre Wirkungen der ultravioletten Komponente des Sonnenlichts

The discussion on the possible increase of solar UV on earth due to the destruction of the stratospheric ozone has led to a renewed interest in the action of ultraviolet radiation on biological systems. The paper deals with changes at the cellular level stressing particularly molecular alterations in deoxyribonucleic acid, the carrier of genetic information. The most important repair processes by which lesions are removed or bypassed are described. It is also discussed whether the effectivity of a complex spectrum can be predicted on the basis of measurements with monochromatic radiation. Furthermore, possible consequences on human health are outlined which may be derived from cellular studies.     

Prenatal diagnosis of the fragile X using thymidine induction

Eleven pregnancies in ten patients at risk for the fragile X were monitored by amniocentesis or chorion villus biopsy and induction of the fragile site using thymidine, methotrexate and FUdR. Three female fetuses and one male fetus were found to have the fragile X. The results obtained using thymidine induction were superior to those using methotrexate induction and probably better than those obtained using FUdR induction.     

铜镍纳米结构修饰多孔电极的电化学硝酸根还原

利用电化学将硝酸根转化为有价值的氨是硝酸盐处置绿色、低碳的途径。本研究制备了铜镍纳米结构修饰多孔电极(Ni-Cu NW),同时构建了电场与流场相协同的穿透式电化学反应器体系。在施加-0.6 V (vs. RHE)电位条件下,该体系氨法拉第效率可达到(84.35±3.63)%,而泡沫Cu电极的法拉第效率仅为(17.2±0.63)%。在定制的穿透式反应器中,Ni-Cu NW电极在−0.6 V、300 r·min⁻¹转速条件下对1 400 mg·L⁻¹ NO₃^--N 溶液电解,100 min后硝酸盐的转化率接近100%,氨选择性为85.5%。电子自旋共振能谱(ESR)和H_ads淬灭实验证明除了电极直接还原硝酸盐,体系中的H_ads可帮助进一步还原硝酸盐。以50 mA·cm⁻²恒电流密度运行24 h,运行前后电极的硝酸盐还原性能未产生明显变化。     

Uptake of weakly hydrophobic nitroaromatics from water by semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) and by goldfish (Carassius auratus)

Semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) filled with triolein, and goldfish (Carassius auratus) were simultaneously exposed to nine weakly hydrophobic nitroaromatics in a laboratory continuous-flow experiment. The results showed that the device concentrated the compounds in most cases to a larger extent than fish and that the overall uptake rate constants (Kmu) and average pollutant sampling rates (R(S)) were similar. We conclude that the SPMDs may be used to determine the levels of weakly hydrophobic nitroaromatics in water. It is obvious, however, that more researches at laboratory in order to establish kinetic database for a wide spectrum of compounds varying in lipophilicity and other properties are needed to elucidate various theoretical and practical aspects of the use of membranes in the environmental research and for related practical applications.
