黑龙江省三江自然保护区狍对冬季卧息地的选择

研究黑龙江三江自然保护区狍冬季卧息地的选择性结果表明，狍昼间偏好选择位于岛状林和芦苇丛、覆盖度>10%、当年生枝条数>30枝、隐蔽级90%—99%、距水源距离<400 m、距农田距离<500 m、保温性>0.2 ℃、雪深>31 cm、人为干扰距离>1 000 m等生境因子的卧息地；狍夜间偏好选择位于岛状林、覆盖度>10%、当年生枝条数>30枝、隐蔽级为<90%、距水源距离<700 m、距农田距离>500 m、保温性>0.2 ℃、雪深>31 cm、人为干扰距离>1 000 m等生境因子的卧息地。狍昼间与夜间卧息地在是否刨走积雪等松软物质、距农田距离、雪深、人为干扰距离和卧息地宽度上差异显著(P<0.05)。与夜间卧息地相比，狍昼间偏爱的卧息地具有接近农田、雪覆盖深和卧息地宽度较小等特征。狍对昼间卧息地资源选择函数为：log it(P)=-13.999-0.446×植被类型-0.003×距水源距离-0.003×距农田距离+0.915×保温性+0.487×雪深+0.001×人为干扰距离，选择概率为P=e ^logit(P)／1+e ^{log it(P)} ，模型的正确预测率为90.9%；狍对夜间卧息地资源选择函数为：logit(P)=-0.009-1.863×植被类型-0.004×距水源距离+0.946×保温性+0.002×人为干扰距离，选择概率为P=e^logit(P)／1+e ^logit(P) ，模型的正确预测率为91.8%。     

小兴安岭南部低山丘陵地区狍冬季卧息地选择

对小兴安岭南部低山丘陵地区狍冬季卧息地的选择性进行了研究。Jacobs法和资源选择函数均表明昼间狍偏好位于阳坡的针阔混交林,对灌木、下层植被覆盖度及雪深具有选择性;夜间狍的卧息地多位于阴坡的针阔混交林和阔叶混交林,对乔木和下层植被覆盖度具有选择性。狍的昼间和夜间卧息地在植被类型、坡向、乔木冠幅、灌木高度、1m以下植被覆盖度、1~2.5m植被覆盖度、隐蔽级、卧息地长和卧息地宽上差异显著(P<0.05)。与夜间卧息地相比,狍昼间偏爱的卧息地具有乔木冠幅较大、灌木较矮、林下植被覆盖度较高、隐蔽程度较好、卧息地长度和宽度较小的特征。     

黄河三角洲自然保护区东方白鹳的巢址利用

2009年3-5月,在黄河三角洲保护区,运用Vanderploeg和Scavia选择指数和资源选择函数对25个东方白鹳巢址的利用进行了研究。结果表明:东方白鹳偏好选择在芦苇沼泽中的电线杆上筑巢,巢区水面比例较大,样方内水深度>15cm,植被较高,盖度较大,植被密度200-500根/m²,巢址距明水面、芦苇沼泽、树林距离较近,明水面深度<0.5m,距离人为干扰、农田、草地较远。东方白鹳巢址利用的资源选择函数为:logist(p)=-0.206-2.773×距明水面距离+2.200×距公路距离+1.444×距轻度干扰地距离+1.205×距草地距离＋1.191×植被密度,模型正确率:88.6％,R²=0.721。食物、人为干扰和植被密度是影响东方白鹳巢址利用的主要因素。     

老爷岭南部狍冬季移动、卧息生境选择及其适宜性评价

在动物生境研究中,移动生境和卧息生境是生境研究的焦点。开展移动生境和卧息生境选择,并在此基础上进行生境评价,有利于深入了解动物对移动和卧息生境条件的需求,制定科学合理的栖息地保护计划。以东北虎（Panthera tigris altaica）的主要猎物物种之一-狍（Capreolus pygargus）为研究对象,于2017-2019年冬季积雪覆盖期在老爷岭南部通过随机布设28个大样方和84条用于足迹链跟踪的样线收集狍的移动点和卧息点信息,再结合近年来收集的东北虎出现点,利用广义可加模型（GAM）和最大熵模型（MaxEnt）进行狍移动、卧息生境选择及评价研究。移动生境选择研究表明,狍在移动的过程中偏好选择坡度小、距农田距离>500 m、远离道路、居民点和低海拔或较高海拔的区域;移动生境评价分析表明,移动适宜和次适宜生境面积之和为1318.16 km²,占研究区域面积的51.28%,当加入虎活动点影响因子后,狍移动适宜和次适宜生境面积之和为901.52 km²,适宜和次适宜生境面积之和减少了31.61%。狍卧息生境选择研究表明,水源、农田、道路和雪深是影响狍卧息的关键因素,其中雪深对狍卧息生境选择的贡献率达到70.13%;卧息生境评价表明,卧息适宜和次适宜生境面积之和为1243.77 km²,占研究区域面积的48.39%,当加入虎出现点因子后,适宜生境和次适宜生境面积之和减少了61.00%,仅为485.02 km²。研究认为,虎的出现对狍移动和卧息生境选择均产生影响,虎的活动及捕食行为可能会减少狍的活动范围和频次,狍远离虎活动区域卧息休息,压缩了狍适宜卧息的空间。     

天津八仙山自然保护区狍春季的卧息地利用

2007年春季,在天津八仙山自然保护区对狍卧息地利用进行了研究。共发现52个狍的卧息地,同时设置93个对照地。资源选择指数结果表明,狍偏好阔叶林,利用中上坡位,喜欢阳坡和半阴半阳坡,选择水源距离适中,偏爱远离人为干扰的卧息地。逐步判别分析结果显示,灌木盖度、隐蔽度、灌木高度、郁闭度、灌木距离和坡度是判别卧息地和对照地的关键因子,即为影响其卧息地利用的主要因子,判别正确率为98．1％。作为生性胆怯易惊的偶蹄类,具有隐蔽条件较好[灌木盖度适中（转换后为16．77&#177;1．07。）、隐蔽度高（29．54&#177;1．47m）、灌木高度稍高（1．22&#177;0．05m）]的地点是狍适宜的卧息地,以逃避捕食者;与此同时,卧息地较舒适[郁闭度低（转换后为5．48&#177;0．31&#176;）、灌木距离较远（2．99&#177;0．13m）、坡度小（2．11&#177;0．09&#176;）],以利于怀孕母狍呼吸与活动,反映其繁殖期生理需求。     

贺兰山岩羊（Pseudois nayaur）夏季取食和卧息生境选择

采用直接观察法和痕迹检验法对贺兰山岩羊夏季取食和卧息生境选择进行研究.结果表明,夏季岩羊偏好的取食地位于海拔高度1 600～2 000 m的山地疏林草原带,地形为平滑起伏的坡、明显断裂的坡和悬崖,以灰榆和山杨为优势乔木或无树,乔木矮小稀疏且距离远,接近低矮但密度较大的灌木,食物较多,位于<30°和>35°半阴半阳坡的下坡位,接近水源,人为干扰距离500～1 000 m,距裸岩2～5 m,隐蔽级25%～75%;夏季岩羊偏好的卧息地具有位于海拔高度1 600～2 000 m和>3 000 m的山地疏林草原带及亚高山灌丛和草甸带,地形为明显断裂的坡和悬崖,以灰榆和山杨为优势乔木或无树,乔木和灌木均矮小稀疏且距离较远,食物较少,位于>35°阴坡的上坡位,接近水源,人为干扰距离远,接近裸岩,隐蔽程度低.岩羊的取食和卧息生境在乔木高度和距水源距离上差异不显著(P > 0.05),而其余生态因子均有显著差异(P < 0.05).与取食生境相比,岩羊选择的卧息生境具有乔木稀疏且距离较远、灌木较少、低矮且距离较远、食物丰富度低、坡度大、远离人为干扰、接近裸岩和隐蔽程度低的特征.逐步判别分析表明,食物丰富度、灌木高度、距水源距离、隐蔽级、灌木密度、灌木距离、乔木高度和乔木距离8个生态因子可以区分取食样方与任意样方,正确判别率为85.8%;而区分卧息样方与任意样方时,距水源距离、灌木高度、距裸岩距离、人为干扰距离、食物丰富度、灌木密度和灌木距离共7个生态因子发挥作用,正确判别率为89.1%.     

麋鹿夜间卧息地选择的季节变化

卧息地选择是野生动物对生态环境的行为适应。为了探讨麋鹿(Elaphurus davidianus)夜间卧息地选择的季节变化, 2013年11月至2014年12月, 采用跟踪调查法与直接观察法, 对湖北石首麋鹿国家级自然保护区围栏内麋鹿184个夜间卧息样方和184个对照样方的生态因子信息进行了观测记录。结果表明: 麋鹿春、秋、冬3个季节夜间卧息时均选择隐蔽度较高、草本盖度较高、食物丰富度较高、距隐蔽物(芦苇或树林)较近的林地生境(P < 0.05), 并且春、秋季夜间选择在距道路距离与距居民点距离上的差异不显著(P > 0.05); 夏季夜间选择在草本盖度较低、食物丰富度较低、隐蔽度较低、距隐蔽物较近、距道路与居民点距离较远、距水源较近的滩涂生境卧息(P < 0.05); 冬季夜间选择在风速较小、距道路与居民点较近的生境卧息。判别分析表明: 草本盖度、食物丰富度、距道路距离、隐蔽度、风速、距水源距离以及距隐蔽物距离这7个因子组成的判别函数可区分不同季节麋鹿的夜间卧息地, 且麋鹿在不同季节的夜间卧息地特征存在部分重叠, 这可能与不同季节间食物、水、温度与人为干扰等因子的差异性有关。建议该保护区扩大饲料基地面积、保留麋鹿卧息隐蔽环境、减少人为干扰、控制长江故道水位。     

黄泥河自然保护区狍冬季卧息地选择

2009年12月到2010年1月,在黄泥河自然保护区采用样线法对狍冬季卧息地选择进行研究.在研究中共设置了47条样线,调查了72个狍利用样方和109个对照样方,评价了15类生态因子对狍冬季卧息地选择的影响.研究结果表明:在黄泥河自然保护区冬季,狍在卧息时喜欢选择平均海拔在591 m,位于阳坡中坡位上雪被较浅、食物丰富度、灌丛盖度、郁闭度和隐蔽水平都较高的针阔混交林生境,尤其喜欢在针阔混交林中的针叶树下卧息,避开选择阴坡、针叶林和裸岩.逻辑斯蒂回归分析结果表明:食物丰富度、针叶树、雪深、裸岩和海拔是影响黄泥河自然保护区冬季狍卧息地选择的主导因子,林型、坡向和隐蔽水平是次要因子.由这7个变量组成的回归模型为:Z=32.628+11.675×坡向(1) +9.741×坡向(2)-5.486×林型(1)-7.933×林型(2)-7.496×裸岩(1)-9.906×针叶树(1)-0.043×海拔+0.170×隐蔽水平+0.220×食物丰富度-0.429×雪深.模型选择利用概率为P(z)=ez/1+ez,整体正确预测率为96.1％.

蜂桶寨自然保护区小熊猫对生境的选择

2002年4月至11月,在邛崃山系宝兴蜂桶寨自然保护区设点,应用资源选择函数和资源选择指数研究了小熊猫对生境的选择和利用。结果表明,影响小熊猫生境选择的关键因子是水源距离、竹子基径、灌木密度;次关键因子是坡位、树桩密度、倒木密度;次要因子是坡向、乔木密度;而郁闭度、坡度、植被类型、乔木高度、灌木高度、树桩高度、树洞密度、人为干扰的影响不明显。小熊猫喜欢在水源较近(<250m)、竹子长势良好(基径大于4 0mm)、灌木和乔木密度大(大于1 5株 20m2)、树桩和倒木数量多(>1根 400m2)、中上坡位、南坡的针叶林或针阔混交林活动。小熊猫的生境资源选择函数为:logit(P)=-13 527-3 180×水源距离 2 702×竹子基径 2 582×灌木密度 2 134×树桩密度 2 104×坡位 1 622×倒木密度-1 066×坡向 0 934×乔木密度……小熊猫对生境的选择概率为:P=elogit(P) (1 elogit(P))     

Simultaneous measurement of the trace elements Al, As, B, Be, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Rb, Se, Sr, and Zn in human serum and their reference ranges by ICP-MS

The goal of this article was to establish reference ranges of the concentration of trace elements in human serum and to compare these results with those reported by other authors. We describe the sample preparation and measurement conditions that allow the rapid, precise, and accurate determination of Al, As, B, Be, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Rb, Se, Sr, and Zn in human serum samples (n=110) by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Accuracy and precision were determined by analyzing three reconstituted reference serum samples by comparison with other methods and by the standard addition procedure. The advantages of the ICP-MS method include short time of analysis of the elements mentioned, low detection limit, high precision, and high accuracy. Disadventages include a high risk of contamination due to the presence of some of the elements of interest in the environment, the relatively delicate sample handling, and the high cost of the equipment.     

Relations of the Al,B, Ba,Br, Ca,Cl, Cu,Fe, K,Li, Mg,Mn, Na,P, S,Si, Sr,and Zn mass fractions to morphometric parameters in pediatric and nonhyperplastic young adult prostate glands

The variation with age of the 18 trace element mass fractions and some histological characteristics of intact prostate glands of 50 subjects aged 0–30 years was investigated by instrumental neutron activation analysis, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, and a quantitative morphometric analysis. Mean values ± standard error of the mean (M ± SΕΜ) for the mass fractions (in milligrams per kilogram wet tissue) of these trace elements in pre-puberty were: Al 28.5 ± 9.0, B 0.40 ± 0.11, Ba 1.48 ± 0.44, Br 10.5 ± 1.5, Ca 241 ± 30, Cl 3,203 ± 278, Cu 3.51 ± 0.89, Fe 33.7 ± 4.1, K 2,364 ± 145, Li 0.020 ± 0.004, Mg 153 ± 23, Mn 0.46 ± 0.06, Na 2,286 ± 130, P 1,391 ± 100, S 1,698 ± 132, Si 62 ± 11, Sr 0.38 ± 0.08, and Zn 27.6 ± 2.3. During puberty and postpuberty, when there is a significant increase in circulating androgens, the mean values were: Al 7.2 ± 1.4, B 0.21 ± 0.05, Ba 0.25 ± 0.06, Br 5.8 ± 1.0, Ca 433 ± 81, Cl 2,314 ± 201, Cu 1.77 ± 0.13, Fe 20.9 ± 1.6, K 2,585 ± 118, Li 0.0088 ± 0.0014, Mg 232 ± 27, Mn 0.34 ± 0.04, Na 1,875 ± 107, P 1,403 ± 98, S 1,673 ± 73, Si 22.2 ± 3.1, Sr 0.22 ± 0.03, and Zn 93.3 ± 8.9. Mean values (M ± SΕΜ) of percent volumes (%) of the stroma, epithelium and lumen in the prostate before puberty were 73.4 ± 2.6, 20.4 ± 1.7, and 4.45 ± 0.94, respectively, versus 46.5 ± 2.5, 38.5 ± 1.9, and 14.9 ± 1.2 during puberty and postpuberty. This work’s results confirm that the Zn mass fraction in prostate tissue is an androgen-dependent parameter. For the first time it has been demonstrated that the glandular lumen is a main pool of Ca, Mg, and Zn accumulation and that the stroma is a main pool of Al, B, Ba, Br, Cl, Cu, Fe, Mn, Na, and Si accumulation in the normal human prostate, for the age range 0–30 years. It was concluded that the Ca, Mg, and Zn binds tightly within the prostatic fluid, because the volume of glandular lumen reflects the volume of prostatic fluid.     

Distribution of N,P, K,Ca, Mg,S, Zn,Fe, Mn and Cu in groundnut

Summary Concentration of N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S in summer groundnut crop was higher than in kharif while Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu contents were higher in summer crop. Kernel's N, P and Zn; Leaflet's Ca and Mn; Stem's K and Fe; Root's S and Cu and Petiole's Mg contents were highest. Shell's N, P, K, Mg, S, Zn and Cu; Kernel's Ca, Fe and Mn contents were the least. N, P, K, S, Zn and Cu concentrations decreased linearly as the crop grew. Ca, Mg, Fe and Mn concentrations did not display any distinct pattern. Ca concentration was positively correlated with pod yield in both the seasons.     

The Effect of Age and Gender on Al, B, Ba, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, P, S, Sr, V, and Zn Contents in Rib Bone of Healthy Humans

The effect of age and gender on major, minor, and trace element contents in the intact rib bone of 80 relatively healthy 15–55-year-old women and men was investigated. Contents or upper limit of contents of 16 chemical elements in the rib bone were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Mean values (M?±?SΕΜ) for the mass fraction of Ba, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Na, P, S, Sr, and Zn (milligram per kilogram of dry bone) were as follows: 2.54?±?0.16, 171,400?±?4,050, 1.35?±?0.22, 140?±?11, 1,874?±?71, 0.049?±?0.011, 2,139?±?38, 5,378?±?88, 75,140?±?1,660, 1,881?±?51, 291?±?20, and 92.8?±?1.5, respectively. The upper limits of contents of Al, B, Mn, and V were <7.20, <0.65, <0.36, and <0.03, respectively. Statistically significant tendency for the Ca, Mg, and P content to decrease with age was found in the human rib bone, regardless of gender. The mass fraction of Fe in the male rib bone increases with age. It was shown that higher Ca, Mg, Na, P, and Sr mass fractions as well as lower Fe content were typical of female ribs as compared to those in male ribs.     

Crystal structure, detonation performance, and thermal stability of a new polynitro cage compound: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15-nonanitro-2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15-nonaazaheptacyclo [5.5.1.13, 11. 15, 9] pentadecane

A new polynitro cage compound 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15-nonanitro-2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15-nonaazaheptcyclo [5.5.1.1(3,11).1(5,9)] pentadecane (NNNAHP) was designed in the present work. Its molecular structure was optimized at the B3LYP/6-31 G(d,p) level of density functional theory (DFT) and crystal structure was predicted using the Compass and Dreiding force fields and refined by DFT GGA-RPBE method. The obtained crystal structure of NNNAHP belongs to the P-1 space group and the lattice parameters are a = 9.99 ?, b = 10.78 ?, c = 9.99 ?, α = 90.01°, β = 120.01°, γ = 90.00°, and Z = 2, respectively. Based on the optimized crystal structure, the band gap, density of state, thermodynamic properties, infrared spectrum, strain energy, detonation characteristics, and thermal stability were predicted. Calculation results show that NNNAHP has detonation properties close to those of CL-20 and is a high energy density compound with moderate stability.     

Reference values for the concentrations of As,Cd, Co,Cr, Cu,Fe, I,Hg, Mn,Mo, Ni,Pb, Se,and Zn in selected human tissues and body fluids

This report attempts to formulate reference ranges of elemental concentrations for 15 trace elements in selected human tissues and body fluids. A set of samples consisting of whole blood, blood serum, urine, milk, liver, and hair were chosen and considered for 15 elements of biological significance: As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, F, Fe, I, Hg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se, and Zn. The results represent wholly or partially data received from 40 countries of the global regions of Africa, Asia, Europe, North, South, and Central America, Australia, and New Zealand. This survey, even if qualitative, has been useful in demonstrating certain trends of trace-element scenarios around the world. It is of course recognized that both diet and environment exert a strong influence on the distribution pattern of several elements, such as As, Cd, Mn, Pb, Se, and Zn. A limited comparison of the available information on soil status of different countries reflected some interesting associations for elements, such as Mn and Zn. Importantly, this study revealed that only a few countries were in a position to identify a reasonable amount of data on samples requested for this project. Regretably, for a number of countries, any dependable data for even such essential elements as Cu, Fe, and Zn were not available. In view of the nutritional importance of many elements, the time is ripe for concerted efforts by intergovernmental agencies to initiate investigations or commission task forces/projects to generate reliable reference data for selected global regions, which sadly lack data of any kind at present.     

Potential Compounds for Oral Cancer Treatment: Resveratrol,Nimbolide, Lovastatin,Bortezomib, Vorinostat,Berberine, Pterostilbene,Deguelin, Andrographolide,and Colchicine

Oral cancer is one of the main causes of cancer-related deaths in South-Asian countries. There are very limited treatment options available for oral cancer. Research endeavors focused on discovery and development of novel therapies for oral cancer, is necessary to control the ever rising oral cancer related mortalities. We mined the large pool of compounds from the publicly available compound databases, to identify potential therapeutic compounds for oral cancer. Over 84 million compounds were screened for the possible anti-cancer activity by custom build SVM classifier. The molecular targets of the predicted anti-cancer compounds were mined from reliable sources like experimental bioassays studies associated with the compound, and from protein-compound interaction databases. Therapeutic compounds from DrugBank, and a list of natural anti-cancer compounds derived from literature mining of published studies, were used for building partial least squares regression model. The regression model thus built, was used for the estimation of oral cancer specific weights based on the molecular targets. These weights were used to compute scores for screening the predicted anti-cancer compounds for their potential to treat oral cancer. The list of potential compounds was annotated with corresponding physicochemical properties, cancer specific bioactivity evidences, and literature evidences. In all, 288 compounds with the potential to treat oral cancer were identified in the current study. The majority of the compounds in this list are natural products, which are well-tolerated and have minimal side-effects compared to the synthetic counterparts. Some of the potential therapeutic compounds identified in the current study are resveratrol, nimbolide, lovastatin, bortezomib, vorinostat, berberine, pterostilbene, deguelin, andrographolide, and colchicine.
