云南南亚热带地区冬玉米种植的生态生理学研究

１９９６－１９９８年,在蒙自县草坝进行了玉米冬播栽培的试验和大面积种植,并连年获得高产。主要是：１．冬播玉米有明显较长的生育期。２．冬玉米的叶片发展和光热资源有较好的匹配。构成了冬播玉米高产的基础。３灌浆中期全天平均光通量密度为１３９１．８μE.m^-2.s^-1,植株实际截获８７．６％的总通量。底层相对较高的透光延缓了叶片的衰老。为灌浆期总干物质生产提供了较好的条件。４,冬播玉米开发后的干物质生产量占总干物质量的７２．１％,有利于籽粒生产。５冬播玉米灌浆期生长的同化物最终有１２．７８％存留于营养体中,表明库容是生产力的限制因数,扩大库容可使其籽粒产量进一步提高。     

噻苯隆-乙烯利复配对春玉米籽粒灌浆特性的影响及其激素调控机理

以"先玉335"和"鑫鑫2号"为试验材料,于花后25 d喷施噻苯隆和噻苯隆-乙烯利复配剂,清水为对照,探究噻苯隆-乙烯利复配对玉米籽粒灌浆后期灌浆特性的影响及其激素调控机理。结果表明:噻苯隆-乙烯利复配可以缩短籽粒灌浆快增期和缓增期的灌浆持续时间,提高灌浆平均速率和籽粒重量,显著增加春玉米灌浆后期籽粒中生长素(IAA)和赤霉素(GA)含量,降低脱落酸(ABA)和细胞分裂素(CTK)含量;同时显著提高灌浆期籽粒IAA与ABA、GA与ABA比例,降低CTK与IAA、CTK与GA比例,对CTK与ABA、GA与IAA比例影响较小。相关分析表明,噻苯隆-乙烯利复配处理后,春玉米籽粒中ABA和CTK含量与灌浆快增期速率呈显著负相关。本研究表明,噻苯隆-乙烯利复配主要通过影响籽粒中IAA、ABA、CTK和GA含量及其比例,从而调控春玉米籽粒灌浆进程,最终实现春玉米产量提高,熟期提前的功效。研究为噻苯隆-乙烯利复配应用到玉米生产上提供理论及试验依据。     

云南南亚热带北缘地区稻田亩产吨粮的种植模式及其生态生理学研究

1996～ 1 999年 ,在云南省蒙自县草坝镇 (南亚热带北缘 )进行了亩产吨粮的种植模式研究。通过对春、夏、秋、冬播玉米 ,早、中、晚稻以及冬小麦的系统研究 ,以地上部分总干物重、籽粒产量、总入射辐照量、叶面积持续期 (灌浆期 )、氮肥的利用率和生产力、水生产力为指标 ,对早稻—晚稻、早稻—秋玉米、早稻—冬小麦、春玉米—晚稻、夏玉米—冬小麦、中稻—冬小麦和中稻—冬玉米 7种复种模式作了比较 ,选出中稻—冬玉米为一年两熟亩产吨粮的最佳种植模式。     

种植方式对夏玉米光合生产特征和光温资源利用的影响

为研究套种与直播两种种植方式对夏玉米光合生产特征和光温资源利用的影响,选取郑单958和登海661为研究对象,设置3个播期,密度为67500株·hm^-2,以地上干物质积累量和作物生长速率、叶面积指数、穗位叶的单叶光合速率来评价夏玉米的光合生产特征;以Richards模型拟合籽粒灌浆过程;结合气象数据计算夏玉米光能利用率.结果表明：直播处理比套种处理籽粒产量增加1.17%～3.33%（P<0.05）,但千粒重显著降低;生育期随播期提前而延长;直播条件下叶面积指数和单叶光合速率在灌浆前期显著高于套种,但灌浆后期下降较快;与套种相比,直播开花前和开花后具有较高的干物质积累量和较快的作物生长速率.Richards模型解析表明,直播处理达到最大灌浆速率的时间明显早于套种,起始势较套种高,但灌浆期、活跃灌浆期和灌浆速率最大时的生长量均低于套种;与套种相比,直播处理生育期间总积温和总辐射量分别减少150～350 ℃·d和200～400 MJ·m^-2,但籽粒光能利用率较套种提高10.5%～24.7%.因此,直播较套种有优势,在夏玉米大田生产条件下,重视叶片的光合生产特征,延缓叶片衰老,有利于提高夏玉米的光能利用率,进一步挖掘增产潜力.     

华北夏玉米干物质分配系数对干旱胁迫的响应

干物质分配系数反映作物各器官干物质的分配与积累,研究干物质分配系数对干旱胁迫的响应,是研究干旱胁迫对作物生长发育影响的基础.本文基于华北夏玉米主产省山东、河北和山西3个试验点2013—2015年田间水分控制试验资料,建立了夏玉米苗期、抽雄期、灌浆期3个主要发育阶段叶、茎、穗的干物质分配系数与土壤相对湿度的定量关系模型,分析了叶、茎、穗干物质分配系数对不同程度干旱胁迫的响应.结果表明: 3个阶段叶、茎、穗的干物质分配系数与土壤相对湿度均呈显著的一元二次关系.干旱胁迫下,叶片向外转运的干物质相对减少,叶干物质分配比例增加,并且在轻、中度干旱胁迫时的灌浆期(叶干物质分配系数增加0.04~0.09)以及重度干旱胁迫时的抽雄期(叶干物质分配系数增加0.17)响应最敏感.穗干物质分配系数对干旱胁迫表现为负响应,干旱胁迫越严重,分配系数越小,轻-重度干旱胁迫使穗干物质分配系数减小0.08~0.34.茎干物质分配系数对干旱胁迫的响应总体表现为灌浆期(正响应)＞抽雄期(负响应)＞苗期(负响应).     

限量灌溉对河套灌区间作小麦干物质转移与灌浆特征的影响

针对内蒙古河套灌区水资源短缺现状,为探究限量灌溉条件下间作春小麦的干物质转移与灌浆特征,掌握制约春小麦籽粒灌浆的因素,进而提高间作模式下春小麦的水分生产率,研究了限量灌溉(298、328、358和388 mm 4个水平)对间作模式(小麦/玉米间作、小麦/向日葵间作)下春小麦籽粒灌浆特征的影响。结果表明:间作向日葵模式下的小麦茎、叶干物质转移量是相同灌水处理下间作玉米模式下的小麦茎、叶干物质转移量的1.08~1.86倍与1.12~2.17倍,而颖轴干物质转移量则间作玉米模式是间作向日葵模式的1.00~1.19倍,且不同水分处理与种植模式下的小麦籽粒灌浆过程符合"S"型生长曲线,可用Logistic方程模拟;间作玉米模式下的小麦灌浆速率的峰值出现在花后25~30 d,较对照提前1.26~2.85 d,间作向日葵模式下的小麦灌浆速率的峰值出现在花后25~30 d,较对照提前1.80~2.44 d,各处理最大灌浆速率与平均灌浆速率均较对照提高,且减少了达到最大灌浆速率所需时间;小麦的活跃灌浆期则表现为灌水总量较少的处理(298~328 mm)有利于延长间作玉米模式下小麦的活跃灌浆期,而较高灌水量的处理(358~388 mm)则会延长间作向日葵种植模式下小麦的活跃灌浆期。     

喷施脱水剂对不同熟期夏玉米脱水特性和籽粒品质的影响

目前,我国种植的夏玉米品种收获时籽粒含水率过高,限制了玉米机械粒收技术的发展。喷施脱水剂可以调控作物籽粒灌浆生理过程,降低收获时的籽粒含水率。本试验研究了喷施脱水剂对不同熟期夏玉米品种脱水过程、收获期籽粒含水率和籽粒品质的调控作用。结果表明: 喷施脱水剂减少了玉米各器官的干物质积累量,促进了植株向籽粒中的干物质转移,提高了收获指数,而且对籽粒品质没有显著影响。相关性分析显示,籽粒脱水速率与各器官脱水速率呈正相关,喷施脱水剂后籽粒脱水速率与茎鞘脱水速率呈极显著正相关。喷施脱水剂在产量没有显著降低的前提下提高了总脱水速率,缩短了开花期至生理成熟期的时间,增加了生理成熟期到收获的时间,有利于后期籽粒含水率的进一步降低,为玉米机械粒收提供了更大的可能性。不同熟期夏玉米品种喷施脱水剂进行机械粒收的经济效益与机械穗收相比没有显著差异,中晚熟品种的经济效益高于早熟品种。因此,收获前合理喷施脱水剂可以作为玉米机收籽粒的一种可行性配套技术。     

黄淮海平原冬小麦-春玉米-夏玉米复合种植模式生理生态效应研究

研究结果表明,与冬小麦－夏玉米平作和春玉米单作相比,冬小麦－春玉米－夏玉米复合种植模式各作物生残生长时期均处于高空间生态位,田间光、温、气等生态条件得以改善,改平面受光为立体受光,作物群体内相对光强明显提高,而且各作物行间地温升高种植带内风速加大,均有利于提高籽粒灌浆的强度和速度。同时,在籽粒灌浆过程中,各作物功能叶片内叶绿素含量和光合速率均比冬小麦夏玉米一年两熟平作或玉米单作有所提高,这是冬小麦－春玉米复合种植模式主要增产原因之一。     

不同氮素水平下超高产夏玉米冠层的高光谱特征

为明确超高产夏玉米冠层高光谱特性,对不同生育期、不同氮肥处理下普通玉米与超高产夏玉米冠层高光谱特性进行了比较;对超高产夏玉米冠层高光谱反射率及其衍生的植被指数与干物质积累、叶绿素含量间的相关性进行了分析。结果表明,不同生育期,超高产夏玉米近红外波段的高光谱反射率均大于普通玉米,且在生育后期变化缓慢。开花期与灌浆期之间,出现"红边平台"现象,生育后期红边位置"蓝移"变化量显著小于普通玉米。随着施氮量的增加,超高产夏玉米冠层高光谱反射率及红边位置变化不大,而红边幅值与红边面积呈逐步增大趋势。在相关性分析中,由950、760、810、870nm构成的各类植被指数及红边幅值、红边面积与超高产夏玉米干物质积累量间的相关性最好,红边位置λred可用于估算叶绿素总量、叶绿素a、叶绿素b及类胡萝卜素的含量。不同氮肥下,超高产夏玉米冠层高光谱特征与普通玉米相比具有较大差异,研究结果能为超高产夏玉米生理特性的研究提供支持。     

河套灌区不同强度低温冷害对玉米生物量累积和产量的影响

深入揭示不同发育期、不同强度和持续日数的低温冷害对玉米生物量累积和产量的影响,对农业防灾减灾具有重要意义。本文以河套灌区玉米低温冷害为研究对象,在对WOFOST模型进行参数校准的基础上,通过数值模拟试验方法,对模型在研究区域上的适应性进行了分析、检验,同时探讨了不同发育阶段出现不同强度和持续日数低温对玉米贮存器官生物量累积和产量的影响。结果表明:在玉米出苗-灌浆期中的每个发育期发生低温时,玉米贮存器官生物量累积和产量对低温强度和持续日数的响应程度基本一致;当降温强度不同、持续日数相同时,灌浆期低温对玉米产量和贮存器官生物量累积的影响最大;当降温强度相同,持续日数不同时,低温持续日数1 d,玉米拔节至抽雄期发生的低温对贮存器官生物量和产量的影响最大,低温持续日数大于3 d时,玉米灌浆期发生的低温对贮存器官生物量和产量的影响最大;发生时段不同时,出苗至拔节期发生的低温,玉米产量和贮存器官生物量随低温持续日数增加而减少,但持续日数相同,不同低温强度对其影响差别不大;其他发育阶段随着低温强度加大,持续日数增加,玉米产量和贮存器官生物量减少。本文结果较好地反映了研究区低温冷害对玉米生长影响的实际情况,可为当地农业生产决策提供科学依据。     

The Biology of Arctic Charr, Salvelinus Alpinus, of Gander Lake, A Large, Deep, Oligotrophic Lake in Newfoundland, Canada

Resident Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus, are widespread throughout the island of Newfoundland. This study examines aspects of the biology and spatial and temporal distributions of the charr of Gander Lake, the third largest in Newfoundland (surface area = 11320ha, maximum depth = 288m, mean depth = 105.4m). The deepest part of the lake is approximately 258m below sea level. The lake is well oxygenated from the surface to the bottom during all seasons. Sampling was conducted with Lundgren multiple-mesh experimental gillnets and baited hooks. There appears to be two morphs present, based on colour (dark and pale) and certain meristic characteristics. Dark charr were caught mainly in benthic nets (at depths from 1 to 100m inclusive) with only a few pelagic captures. Pale charr were caught only in benthic nets at depths between 20 and 100m inclusive. The maximum depth sampled was 196m, but there was no catch. There was a tendency for dark charr to be found in deeper, cooler water as the upper water column and inshore areas warmed during summer. There was no apparent trend in size of charr with depth sampled. Dark and pale charr both fed on benthic macroinvertebrates; sticklebacks were consumed only by dark charr and the importance of this prey item increased with size of predator. Zooplankton and surface food were not utilised by Gander Lake charr. Results of the study are compared with findings reported for other water bodies in Newfoundland and Labrador, North America, and Europe, particularly Loch Ness which has similarities in morphometry and trophic status to Gander Lake.     

Thermodynamics,the structure of integral membrane proteins,and transport

Membranes are structures whose lipid and protein components are at, or close to, equilibrium in the plane of the membrane, but are not at equilibrium across the membrane. The thermodynamic tendency of ionic and highly polar molecules to be in contact with water rather than with nonpolar media (hydrophilic interactions) is important in determining these equilibrium and nonequilibrium states. In this paper, we speculate about the structures and orientations of integral proteins in a membrane, and about how the equilibrium and nonequilibrium features of such structures and orientations might be influenced by the special mechanisms of biosynthesis, processing, and membrane insertion of these proteins. The relevance of these speculations to the mechanisms of the translocation event in membrane transport is discussed, and specific protein models of transport that have been proposed are analyzed.     

Cadmium,cobalt, chromium,and experimental myocardial infarction

In the case of experimental heart muscle infarction, the infarcted tissue of 18 pigs had a cadmium content of 0.38 μg/g dry weight and a cobalt content of 0.45 μg/g dry weight. In 25 non-infarcted pig hearts, the cadmium concentration amounted to 0.27 μg/g dry weight and the cobalt concentration to 0.37 μg/g dry weight. Thus, as far as the infarcted heart muscle tissue is concerned, there is a highly significant increase in the cadmium content (p<0.01) and a significant increase in cobalt content (p<0.05) compared to a non-infarcted heart. No differences were established with regard to chromium concentrations.     

Automatic preparation,calibration, and simulation of deformable objects

Many simulation environments – particularly those intended for medical simulation – require solid objects to deform at interactive rates, with deformation properties that correspond to real materials. Furthermore, new objects may be created frequently (for example, each time a new patient's data is processed), prohibiting manual intervention in the model preparation process. This paper provides a pipeline for rapid preparation of deformable objects with no manual intervention, specifically focusing on mesh generation (preparing solid meshes from surface models), automated calibration of models to finite element reference analyses (including a novel approach to reducing the complexity of calibrating nonhomogeneous objects), and automated skinning of meshes for interactive simulation.

The objectives of this report are as follows: to trace the (relatively brief) history of the CVI for those who may not be acquainted with it; to highlight lectures given by members of the CVI during this Workshop; and to make the community aware of the aims of this Initiative, including collaborative projects currently under consideration.     

Rethinking the deserving body: altruism,markets, and political action in health care provision

Abstract

I seek to understand two dimensions in the evolution and practices of medical institutions in the USA. First, I ask, how and why do medical organizations limit, suspend, or redirect profit-oriented functions to abide by principles of altruism and still survive in a competitive market economy? Reaching out to poor and immigrant populations entails non-economic factors, including the deployment of religious and humanitarian narratives. Conversely, the extent and character of legislative actions supporting philanthropic endeavours is closely related to mobilization at the grassroots level. I investigate the ways in which community organizations bring about changes to support practices that confound, at least to some extent, market expectations and underscore the significance of political action to secure health care services on behalf of low-income populations, including immigrants.     

Hiatal surfaces from the Miocene Globigerina Limestone Formation of Malta: Biostratigraphy, sedimentology, trace fossils and early diagenesis

The Miocene Globigerina Limestone of the Maltese islands contains widespread omission surfaces with very different characteristics and origins.The terminal Lower Globigerina Limestone hardground (TLGLHg) formed during a period of falling sea level. Coccolith assemblages suggest shallowness. Sedimentary structures and trace fossil assemblages, indicate increasing frequency of storm events and erosional episodes, towards the surface. Calcite cementation which took place around Thalassinoides burrows and formed irregular nodules was followed by dissolution of aragonite. It is suggested that lithification was linked to microbial reactions involving organic matter.In contrast two later surfaces, the terminal Middle Globigerina Limestone omissionground (TMGLOg), which marks the Lower to Middle Miocene boundary, and the Fomm-ir-Rih local hardground (FiRLHg) both contain early diagenetic dolomite. Lithification took place in two phases. The dolomite is interpreted to have formed beneath the sea floor; it was subsequently exhumed and partially corroded as the precipitation of calcitic and phosphatic cements took place around burrows open to the circulation of sea water.     

Magnesium,calcium, copper,and zinc in meals

Meals of 12 diets were prepared from conventional foods with precautions against contamination by metallic elements because of epidemiologic associations between ischemic heart disease and the metabolism of magnesium, calcium, copper, and zinc. Magnesium, calcium, copper, and zinc were measured by atomic absorption spectrometry with satisfactory accuracy and precision. The mean daily amount of copper in the diets was less than the apparent adult requirement. Mean amounts of magnesium and zinc were close to apparent requirements; however, adults consuming amounts less than one standard deviation below these means may be depleting body stores and be at risk of pathology. Magnesium and copper were highly correlated (r=0.849,P=0.0001) in meals. This and other significant correlations probably will prevent the relationships of these elements to ischemic heart disease from being elucidated by epidemiology. Metabolic experiments will be necessary to differentiate among several hypotheses.
