In vitro characteristics of human fetal cells obtained from chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis

In vitro characteristics of human fetal cells have been investigated after chorionic villus sampling at the first trimester and amniocentesis at the second trimester of pregnancy. Light microscopy revealed heterogeneous morphology of cell types in both the chorionic villus culture and the amniotic fluid cultures. Based on the experiments performed, chorionic villus cells are more sensitive to pronase, trypsin, and versene during subculture and have a higher DNA content per single cell and release more [¹²⁵I]-Beta-human chorionic gonadotropin into culture medium than those found in amniotic fluid cells. The practical applications of this study are discussed.

Carbon isotope ratios in logged and unlogged boreal forests: Examination of the potential for determining wildlife habitat use

Due to assimilation of recycled CO₂ from litter decomposition and photosynthetic changes in carbon fractionation at low light levels, the foliage at the base of a forest is often more depleted in¹³C compared to that exposed to the atmosphere in either the canopy or in open clearings. This is referred to as the canopy effect. African research has indicated that these habitat differences in foliar ¹³C can be substantial enough to affect the carbon isotope ratios of resident fauna. Previous work documenting a 30-year chronology on moose teeth from Isle Royale National Park indicated a progressive depletion in¹³C and suggested that this could be due to forest regrowth following extensive burning. The present study examined the assumption implicit in this hypothesis that foliar ¹³C varies between open and closed boreal forest sites. I found a marginal canopy effect of 2 ¹³C difference between upper canopy and ground flora for a forest in northwestern Ontario and an average difference of 1.2 in under- and mid-story vegetation between closed forests and open clear-cuts. Because of these small differences, the utility of carbon isotope analysis in quantifying temporally integrated exploitation of deforested habitats will be low for northern boreal locations. In denser forests, such as those in the tropics or western North American where the canopy effect can be expected to be much greater, ¹³C analysis may still offer some promise for determining selection by wildlife of disturbed habitats.     

Enzymatic degradation of poly([R,S] β-hydroxybutyrate)

The synthetic analogue of a bacterially produced polyester, poly(-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) was synthesized from racemic -butyrolactone using anin situ trimethyl aluminum-water catalyst. The polymer was fractionated into samples differing in molecular weight and isotactic diad content. The latter was closely related to degree of crystallinity. The biodegradation of these fractions were examined by monitoring mass loss over time in the presence of anAlcaligenes faecalis T1 extracellular bacterial poly(-hydroxybutyrate) depolymerase. The fraction with high isotactic diad tacticity content showed little or no degradation over a 50 hour incubation period, whereas the fraction of intermediate isotactic diad content degraded in a continuous steady fashion at a rate that was less than that for bacterial PHB. The low isotactic diad fraction underwent a rapid initial degradation, followed by no further mass loss. The presence of stereoblocks in the polymer structure of the various fractions was an influence on the degree of susceptibility towards degradation and is related to sample crystallinity.

油脂含量和有机负荷对餐厨垃圾干式厌氧消化的影响

为了研究进料油脂含量(5%~25%)和有机负荷(40~60 kg VS/m3)对餐厨垃圾中温干式厌氧消化的共同影响,采用软件Design-Expert 8.0.6设计进料参数,以容积产甲烷率作为响应值,对14组序批式实验的结果进行回归分析,并建立容积产甲烷率与油脂含量和有机负荷间的回归方程。结果表明,当有机负荷为40 kg VS/m3时,甲烷产率随油脂含量的增加而增大;当有机负荷为50 kg VS/m3时,甲烷产率随油脂含量的增加先增大后减小;当有机负荷为60 kg VS/m3时甲烷产率随油脂含量的增加而减小。序批式实验中进料的最佳油脂含量和有机负荷分别为18.7%和42.9 kg VS/m3,对应响应面的理论容积产甲烷率最大值为32.74 L CH4/L。研究结论可以应用到实际工程中,为餐厨垃圾干式厌氧消化技术的推广提供一定的理论基础。

颗粒粒径和含固率对疏浚泥沙絮凝沉降的影响

为保护海洋生态环境,合理利用海洋倾倒区,防止悬浮泥沙扩散,采用絮凝处理工艺,在不考虑外部环境的影响下,探讨颗粒粒径和含固率对疏浚泥沙的絮凝作用的影响;采用湿筛法对珠江口疏浚泥沙进行分组,将疏浚泥沙分为混合样、粒径>74 μm、粒径<74 μm、粒径<37 μm和粒径<15 μm的5个粒径段,研究不同粒径段和不同含固率泥沙在加入不同量聚合氯化铝 (PAC) 后,絮凝前后的粒径分布变化特征。结果表明：粒径>74 μm的泥沙颗粒不发生絮凝作用;向含固率为10%的泥沙中加入相同量的絮凝剂后,絮凝沉降速率由慢到快、沉积泥含水率由高到低、沉积泥体积由高到低的粒径段均依次为混合样、粒径<74 μm、粒径<37 μm和粒径<15 μm;对不同含固率的泥沙进行絮凝调理后,25~37 μm粒径段的粒径占比均呈现出随泥沙含固率的增大先增大后减小的趋势,当含固率为5%~10%时粒径占比最高,累积质量分数差异较大的粒径段出现在28~32 μm;对含固率为10%的泥沙进行絮凝处理后,<30 μm的粒径段,絮凝前的占比>絮凝后的占比;30~40 μm的粒径段,絮凝后的占比>絮凝前的占比;不同含固率的泥沙粒径占比峰值由23 μm分别变为33、32.8、32.1、31.6和32.2 μm,且粒径<30 μm的细颗粒含量明显减少,粒径>30 μm的细颗粒含量明显增加。综上所述,在不考虑外部环境的影响下,30 μm为该区域泥沙的絮凝临界粒径;泥沙含固率在5%~10%时,不利于PAC对泥沙的絮凝作用;絮凝后,泥沙絮团粒径为30~40 μm。本研究成果可为疏浚物海洋倾倒前环保处理技术提供关键参数和依据,并为泥沙的絮凝机理的进一步探索提供参考。
