四种不同类型土壤保水剂保水性能的比较

采用室内实验和田间试验,研究了4种不同类型的保水剂在水溶液及土壤中的保水性能及其差异,分析了保水剂类型与用量对保水性能的影响、以及它们对田间土壤贮水量和玉米产量的影响.结果表明:保水剂的保水性能与剂型粒度关系密切,聚丙烯酸盐类以及粒度较小的保水剂在水溶液和土壤中具有较好的持水性能,可将水溶液中的水分蒸发速率降至对照的0.76和0.75倍.保水剂的施用存在一个最佳区间,过量或不足量施用均会降低其保水性能.保水剂对田间土壤的保水效果受作物吸收的影响,保水剂可提高玉米产量和水分利用效率(WUE),淀粉一丙烯酸类聚合物的增产增效效果显著,其中海礁王(HJW)对玉米WUE的增幅高达15.06%.     

地面覆盖和保水剂对冬小麦生长和降水利用的影响

在河南省西部丘陵旱耕地上,研究了保水剂（0、45、60 kg·hm^-2）、秸秆覆盖（3000和6000 kg·hm^-2）和地膜覆盖（＜0.005 mm）对冬小麦生长发育、土壤水分和降水利用的影响.结果表明：3种措施均能促进冬小麦生长,改善土壤水分和养分状况,提高冬小麦产量和降水利用效率,特别是保水剂与秸秆覆盖、保水剂与地膜覆盖相结合效果更显著.与对照相比,不同措施使冬小麦不同生育期土壤含水量提高0.1%～6.5%,拔节期前地膜覆盖处理保墒效果最佳,拔节期后保水剂处理保墒效果较佳,扬花期和灌浆期墒情最差.不同措施使冬小麦产量比对照提高2.6%～20.1%,并以秸秆覆盖+保水剂处理最佳,增产14.2%～20.1%;其次为地膜+保水剂处理,平均增产11.9%.不同措施降水利用效率存在相同趋势,比对照提高0.4～3.2 kg·mm^-1·hm^-2.表明地面覆盖和保水剂的应用改善了农田土壤水分状况和养分状况,提高了降水利用率,从而促进了冬小麦分蘖,提高了穗粒数和千粒重.     

夏闲期轮耕对小麦田土壤水分及产量的影响

2007-2010年在宁南旱区研究了夏闲期免耕/深松/免耕(T1)、深松/免耕/深松(T2)、连年翻耕(CT)3种耕作方式对麦田土壤水分及产量的影响.结果表明:经过3年夏闲期T1和T2处理后,农田土壤蓄水效率平均分别较连年翻耕处理提高15.2％和26.5％;T1和T2处理的降水潜在利用率较高,分别达到37.8％和38.5％,降水生产效率平均分别较连年翻耕处理提高9.9％和10.7％.夏闲期轮耕能显著降低休闲期的土壤无效蒸发,有效保蓄小麦生长期的土壤水分.在冬小麦生长前期,T1和T2处理0～200 cm土层土壤水分平均分别较连年翻耕处理增加6.8％和9.4％;在拔节-抽穗-灌浆期,与连年翻耕处理相比,两处理可显著提高0 ～ 200 cm土层土壤蓄水量,对作物产量的贡献率较高.不同轮耕模式在增加作物耗水量的同时也提高了作物产量及水分利用效率,与CT处理相比,3年T1和T2处理作物耗水量平均分别提高5.2％和6.1％,产量分别增加9.9％和10.6％,作物水分生产效率分别提高4.5％和4.3％.相关分析表明,在干旱缺水的宁南地区,冬小麦播种期、拔节-抽穗-灌浆期的土壤蓄水量可显著影响产量,尤其抽穗期的土壤蓄水量对产量的影响更大.     

不同保护性耕作措施对旱作农田土壤水分的影响

研究了黄土高原西部旱农区传统耕作措施和五种保护性耕作措施对土壤水分垂直分布、动态变化、作物耗水量、水分利用效率及作物产量的影响。结果表明,不同保护性耕作措施对表层0~10cm土壤水分含量影响较大,免耕秸秆覆盖(NTS)在作物播种期可以显著增加播种期表层土壤含水量。0~200cm土壤剖面贮水量年变化分春夏作物旺盛生长失墒期(5月中旬~7月中旬)、夏秋雨季增墒期(7月中旬~10月下旬)和冬春稳墒期(11月~翌年5月上旬)3个阶段。尽管不同保护性耕作措施对0~200cm剖面贮水量影响不大,但作物耗水量却存在显著差异。免耕秸秆覆盖在增加作物耗水量的同时也提高了作物产量以及水分利用效率。地膜覆盖在有些年份也有利于降水的高效利用和作物产量的提高,但与秸秆覆盖相比不利于土壤肥力的持续提高。而且,如果种植小麦,出苗前若一次性降水较多时地膜覆盖将造成严重板结,影响出苗,进而降低产量和水分利用效率。因此,在黄土高原西部旱农区实施免耕 秸秆覆盖的保护性耕作措施,既有利于作物对有限降水的高效利用,提高作物产量,也可以促进农业可持续发展。     

不同覆盖方式对土壤肥力和番茄产量及品质的影响

以塑料薄膜大棚为栽培设施,以番茄品种‘中研988’和‘粉贝三号’为植物材料,设置不覆盖(对照)、地膜覆盖、稻草覆盖、地膜上覆盖稻草(稻草/地膜)、地膜下覆盖稻草(地膜/稻草)5个处理,研究不同地面覆盖对土壤肥力及番茄产量和品质的影响。结果表明:不同覆盖方式均可增加表层土壤的含水量,稻草覆盖使表层土壤温度降低,而地膜覆盖和地膜/稻草覆盖使表层土壤温度升高;同一土层,地膜/稻草覆盖下土壤有机质含量和土壤速效养分含量显著高于其他处理,随着土层加深,各处理下土壤的速效养分含量均呈下降趋势;地膜/稻草覆盖下番茄果实产量最高、品质最好。综上可知,地面覆盖可以改善土壤肥力状况,提高番茄果实产量和品质,在不同覆盖方式中,以地面覆盖稻草后再覆盖地膜的效果最好。     

覆被对桔园旱季土壤水分变化和利用的影响

稻草覆盖和自然覆被是解决红壤丘陵区季节性干旱的有效措施.2005～2006年在桃源农业生态试验站进行了稻草覆盖和自然覆被对桔园降雨入渗、土壤蒸发、土壤水分调控和利用结构影响的研究,结果表明:稻草覆盖和自然覆被更有利于雨水的储存和向深层入渗,雨后48h分别比裸地土壤储水增量多3.33mm和1.33mm,降雨入渗深度分别为40cm和80cm.此外,稻草覆盖和自然覆被分别抑制了69.10%和36.53%的土壤蒸发,其蒸发抑制作用在午间高温时段表现尤为明显,使得更多的水分以植物蒸腾(稻草覆盖15.71%、自然覆被7.30%)和土壤蓄留的方式支出,并且分别降低了20.55mm(稻草覆盖)和14.33mm(自然覆被)的水分支出.覆被下土壤水分结构发生明显改变,0～20cm土层受外界条件影响较大,土壤水分变异系数较大,自然覆被由于覆盖的植被消耗表层水分,水分亏缺较大,平均含水量为稻草覆盖>裸地>自然覆被;20～80cm土壤水分变异减小,平均含水量稻草覆盖>自然覆被>裸地;120～160cm深土层中,自然覆被下土壤水分得不到补给,变异系数增大,稻草覆盖和裸地水分变化稳定,平均含水量稻草覆盖>裸地>自然覆被.     

夏休闲期复种油菜对旱地土壤水分和小麦产量的影响

以冬小麦收获后高留茬休闲地为对照,连续4年在陇东黄土旱塬设6个油菜播种期,研究了休闲期作物覆盖对土壤水分及后作冬小麦产量与水分利用效率的影响.结果表明：不同播种期夏休闲期土壤贮水量差异显著(P＜0.05),其中8月5日播种油菜的土壤蓄水效率为58.5%,产量和水分利用效率较对照提高7.5%和5.9%.平均而言,夏休闲期复种油菜后作小麦干旱年份增产16.1%,平水年份增产6.8%.夏休闲期复种油菜是西北旱地小麦抗旱增产的有益途径.     

播种密度对秸秆覆盖旱地冬小麦产量和土壤水分的影响

为了解秸秆覆盖下作物群体对土壤水分和小麦产量的影响,于2012年6月至2013年6月在渭北旱塬研究秸秆覆盖与常规耕作模式下播种密度对土壤储水量、冬小麦群体动态变化、小麦产量及水分利用效率的影响。秸秆覆盖与常规耕作相比休闲期在0~3.6 m土层多蓄水105 mm,主要于小麦拔节后利用。不同播种密度主要影响小麦抽穗前的群体大小,抽穗后群体差异不显著。小麦籽粒产量为2 841~3 496 kg/hm, 不同密度水平或覆盖均没有显著影响小麦产量,但是高密度处理较中、低密度显著降低小麦收获指数。另外,秸秆覆盖小麦较常规增加20%耗水量,小麦水分利用效率降低11%。因此,在休闲期降雨丰富,生育期特旱的气候条件下播种密度对秸秆覆盖小麦产量没有影响,显著增加耗水量,降低水分利用效率。播种密度、秸秆覆盖及其交互效应还有待于在其他气候年型下进一步研究观测以便综合评价这些因素的影响效应,进而建立旱地小麦高产高效用水的管理措施。     

农田秸秆覆盖对冬小麦水氮效应的影响

通过田间试验研究了杨凌红油土农田秸秆覆盖条件下冬小麦的水氮效应.结果表明,秸秆覆盖使土壤水分状况明显改善,从而使补充灌水的效果相应减小,氮肥的作用更加突出;无覆盖条件下,水氮交互效应均为负值,而秸秆覆盖时水氮有正的交互作用.旱地秸秆覆盖条件下更应重视养分的投入.无秸秆覆盖条件下小麦取得高产的基础是良好的土壤底墒和充足的氮肥.秸秆覆盖使小麦达到最高产量所需要的灌水量降低,灌水时期后延.不论有无秸秆覆盖,拔节期灌水对冬小麦籽粒产量没有显著影响.     

稻草覆盖和香根草篱对红壤水稳性团聚体组成及有机碳含量的影响

基于植物篱和秸秆覆盖控制红壤坡耕地水土流失的长期定位试验,研究香根草篱(H)、稻草覆盖(M)、香根草篱+稻草覆盖(HM)水保措施下红壤水稳性团聚体组成及有机碳分布特征。结果表明:与常规等高农作模式(CK)相比,草篱、稻草覆盖、草篱+稻草覆盖模式下土壤总有机碳含量提高0.07—2.42 g/kg。草篱对土壤团聚体组成及其结合有机碳的影响在篱内效果显著,随着与草篱距离增大影响减弱。草篱和稻草覆盖对土壤团聚体组成和结合有机碳含量的影响不同,草篱主要增加2 mm水稳性团聚体含量及其结合有机碳含量,稻草覆盖增加0.25 mm水稳性团聚体含量及其结合有机碳含量。综合来看,草篱和稻草覆盖相结合对改善坡面土壤结构作用稳定。土壤有机碳含量较高时,土壤总有机碳含量与粒径2mm的大团聚体有机碳含量呈显著正相关(r=0.659);随着有机碳含量降低,土壤总有机碳含量与土壤0.25—0.053 mm和0.053 mm微小团聚体碳含量相关性逐渐增大。

New amino-dithiaphospholanes and phosphoramidodithioites and their rhodium and iridium complexes

New sulfur derivatives of phosphoramidite ligands were synthesized and the impact of the sulfur unit on the spectroscopic properties of their rhodium and iridium complexes was investigated. The new ligands Bn₂NPSCH₂CH₂S^a(P-S^a) (Bn = benzyl, 4), Bn₂NPSCHCHS^a(CH₂)₃C^aH₂(P-S^a)(C^a-S^a) (6) and Bn₂NP(4-XC₆H₄OMe)₂ (X = S, 7a; X = O, 7b) were converted to the rhodium and iridium complexes trans-[Rh(CO)Cl(L)₂] (L = 4, 6, 7), [RhCl(COD)(L)] (L = 4, 6, 7), [IrCl(COD)(7a)] and [IrCl₂Cp∗(6)]. For comparison, some phosphoramidite complexes of these formulations also were synthesized. The new metal complexes were spectroscopically analyzed. For the carbonyl complexes, the ν_CO IR stretching frequencies were lower than for the corresponding phosphite and phosphoramidite ligands. The ¹J_PRh coupling constants for the rhodium complexes with the new ligands were also smaller than for the respective phosphoramidite and phosphite complexes. Finally, the ¹J_PSe coupling constants of the selenides of the new ligands were lower than those of the phosphoramidite ligands but higher than for PPh₃. The spectroscopic data reveal that the new thio ligands 4, 6 and 7a are more electron donating than phosphites and phosphoramidites but less electron donating than PPh₃.     

Astrocytes and Synaptosomes Transport and Metabolize Lactate and Acetate Differently

Astrocytes transport the monocarboxylate acetate, but synaptosomes do not. The reason for this is unknown, because both preparations express monocarboxylate transporters (MCT). The transport and metabolism of lactate, another monocarboxylate, was examined in these two preparations, and the results were compared to those for acetate. Lactate transport is more rapid in astrocytes than in synaptosomes, but of lower affinity (Kms of 17 and 4 mM, respectively). Lactate (0.2 mM) is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in synaptosomes than in astrocytes (rates of 0.37 and 0.07 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). The reason for this is unclear, but cellular differences in lactate dehydrogenase isotype expression may be involved. Acetate is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in astrocytes than in synaptosomes (rates of 0.43 and 0.02 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). This is likely due to cellular differences in the expression of monocarboxylate transporter subtypes.     

Rapporteur report: Basics and technology and metrology and standards

The first and second sessions of the Workshop focussed on the basics of ultrasound and infrasound, their applications in both industry and medicine, and metrology and protection standards for ultrasound applications.     

Relative and combined effects of ethanol and protein deficiency on strontium and barium bone content and fecal and urinary excretion

To elucidate accumulation of minerals in human iliac arteries with aging, the content of minerals was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Bilateral common, internal, and external iliac arteries of 16 men and 8 women, ranging ages from 65 to 93 yr, were examined. It was found that an extremely high accumulation of calcium and phosphorus occurred in the common iliac artery at old age, being higher than that of the internal and external iliac arteries. It should be noted that the accumulation of calcium and phosphorus is the highest in the common iliac artery among the human arteries examined to date. Regarding sexual differences, the content of calcium and phosphorus in the common and internal iliac arteries was higher in women than in men, whereas their content in the external iliac artery was lower in women than in men.     

Chemokines and cytokines: axis and allies in asthma and allergy

Allergic asthma can be precipitated by many factors. For the atopic person, fungus, pollen, dust mites, cockroach antigens, and diesel exhaust are all agents that may trigger an allergic attack. Cytokines and chemokines are integral mediators of fungal asthma. From the earliest time points, they recruit and activate the cells required for the clearance of fungus as well as being critical factors involved in the immunopathology of this disease. In the final analysis, it is clear that these mediators can act to the benefit or the detriment of the host.     

Oxidation and nitration of ribonuclease and lysozyme by peroxynitrite and myeloperoxidase

In spite of the many studies on protein modifications by reactive species, knowledge about the products resulting from the oxidation of protein-aromatic residues, including protein-derived radicals and their stable products, remains limited. Here, we compared the oxidative modifications promoted by peroxynitrite and myeloperoxidase/hydrogen peroxide/nitrite in two model proteins, ribonuclease (6Tyr) and lysozyme (3Tyr/6Trp). The formation of protein-derived radicals and products was higher at pH 5.4 and 7.4 for myeloperoxidase and peroxynitrite, respectively. The main product was 3-nitro-Tyr for both proteins and oxidants. Lysozyme rendered similar yields of nitro-Trp, particularly when oxidized by peroxynitrite. Hydroxylated and dimerized products of Trp and Tyr were also produced, but in lower yields. Localization of the main modified residues indicates that peroxynitrite decomposes to radicals within the proteins behaving less specifically than myeloperoxidase. Nitrogen dioxide is emphasized as an important protein modifier.     

Prostaglandin and thromboxane production by human and guinea-pig macrophages and leucocytes

The ability of partially purified human and guinea-pig haematogenous cell populations, when cultured in vitro, to metabolise arachidonic acid (AA) has been studied. Supernatants from 24 hour cell culture have been subjected to analysis for products of AA metabolism by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection.The cell types studied were human peripheral blood monocytes (both glass adherent and non-adherent), neutrophils, eosinophils and leukemic leucocytes; thoracic duct lymphocytes and lung alveolar macrophages. From the guinea-pig, induced and non-induced macrophage or neutrophil enriched peritoneal exudate populations, lymph node cells, peritoneal eosinophils and peripheral blood platelets were examined. Supernatants were assayed for the presence of PGE₂, PGD₂, PGF_2α, TXB₂ and 6-keto-PGF_1α. In all types studied PGE₂ and TXB₂ were the major products formed. The identification of PGE₂ and TXB₂ was confirmed by GC/MS with multiple ion monitoring.The results have been compared with other reports and their possible significance discussed in relation to the proposed role of prostaglandins as mediators and modulators in immunopathology.
