综合生命周期分析在可持续消费研究中的应用

1992年联合国提出可持续消费的概念,经过10几年的发展,生命周期分析已经成为可持续消费的主要研究方法。由于传统生命周期分析方法需要大量基础数据支持,因此目前综合生命周期分析方法被广泛应用于可持续消费研究中。以1997年中国投入产出表为基础,建立了包括CO2排放量的投入产出表延长表。并对居民终端消费产生的CO2排放总量及其与产业部门的关系进行了分析。结果表明,1997年城市居民终端消费人均CO2排放量为1576．62kg,是农村居民CO2排放量的24．96倍,城市居民每个单位货币消费量所产生的CO2的排放量也远远高于农村居民,电力生产部门对居民消费环境影响的贡献率最大。对该方法中存在的一些问题进行了讨论,这些问题主要产生在价值量与物理量转换过程及分配过程中。     

香蕉组织培养过程中内生菌污染的控制

研究了体外培养一种孟加拉传统香蕉(Musa spp.Cv. Kanthali)的茎尖组织。茎尖的原始细胞表面经无菌处理(0.1%HgCl2处理12min) ,接种6~15d后外植体地下茎部分仍有微生物污染(大部分是细菌) ,杀死了85%的外植体。为确定无污染培养基,将等量外植体分别浸泡在含400mg/L氨苄青霉素和200mg/L庆大霉素(两种光谱抗生素)的培养基中1h。结果表明,经抗生素处理的外植体完全没有污染,但培养3周后不能再生。进行二次继代培养后,其中一部分外植体吸收了培养基并胀大,颜色由苍白转变成浅绿或深绿。三次继代培养后数天,不再观察到外植体的生长,所有经抗生素处理过的外植体都开始死亡。在未经抗生素处理的活外植体中,单个茎发育的最佳培养基是:MS 4.0mg/L BA 0.5mg/L KT 15% CW,平均生长时间为18~21d,但再生率很低,只有30%。茎细胞增殖的最佳培养基是:MS 4.0mg/L BA 2.0mg/LIAA 15% CW,每个茎平均只萌发3~4个芽。最后,在添加0.5mg/LIBA的一半浓度的MS培养基中,体外培养茎最大生根率达到90%。     

新疆东北部晚侏罗世一新的柱齿兽

描述了哺乳纲柱齿兽目柱齿兽科(Docodontidae,Docodonta,Mammalia)一新属种——孙氏尖钝齿兽(Acuodulodon sunae gen.et sp.nov.)。标本产于新疆东北部准噶尔盆地五彩湾地区上侏罗统牛津阶石树沟组上部(159～161 Ma),为一不完整左下颌骨及齿列。新属下臼齿具柱齿兽类典型特征:齿尖b位于齿尖a前方;齿尖c位于齿尖a后舌侧;齿尖a前舌侧发育有齿尖g。不同于其他柱齿兽,新属下臼齿无齿尖e和齿脊b-e。齿尖g和齿脊b-g很快被磨蚀掉而齿尖a和c却能保持尖锐状态,表明该动物的臼齿在生活中具备并保持切割和碾压双重功能。基于下臼齿性状特征的系统发育分析表明,柱齿兽目作为一单系类群具有显著的鉴定特征。其中尖钝齿兽和Itatodon+(Simpsonodon,Castorocauda+(Tegotherium+Sibirotherium))形成一单系子类群;但tegotheriids各分子未形成独立于柱齿兽科的单系类群。尖钝齿兽的下颌齿骨亦为典型的柱齿兽类型。齿骨内侧下部近腹缘有浅的齿后骨槽和宽大的内侧脊,但两者未延伸到下颌关节髁的基柄部。这表明尖钝齿兽的齿后骨与齿骨的连接比摩根齿兽类更为松散,其中耳在进化上更接近真正意义上的哺乳动物中耳。     

110例维吾尔族及汉族乳腺癌中BRCA1基因突变及P53蛋白表达的研究

目的研究维吾尔族及汉族乳腺癌患者BRCA1基因突变及P53蛋白的表达。方法选取70例维吾尔族和40例汉族乳腺癌根治标本,对照组为32例维汉族乳腺良性病变(纤维腺病及纤维腺瘤)及乳腺癌旁非癌组织;运用PCR-SSCP和DNA序列测定的方法检测BRCA1基因突变及Evision二步法检测P53蛋白的表达。结果(1)110例维吾尔族及汉族乳腺癌中发现BRCA1突变的14个新位点。(2)110例维吾尔族及汉族乳腺癌BRCA1的突变率为10%,其中22例维吾尔族早发性乳腺癌(≤35岁)BRCA1突变率为31.82%,高于维吾尔族晚发性乳腺癌(P<0.01)。(3)110例维吾尔族及汉族乳腺癌中发现11例BRCA1基因核苷酸多态性位点。(4)BRCA1基因突变相关性乳腺癌中P53蛋白阳性表达率高于对照组,其淋巴结转移率高于对照组,其发病年龄小于对照组(P<0.01)。结论BRCA1基因突变与新疆维吾尔族早发性乳腺癌密切相关,且BRCA1突变相关性乳腺癌具有P53阳性率高、发病年龄趋于年轻化、淋巴结转移率高的趋势,这些特点有可能为基因检测前的筛选提供参考依据。     

Multisensor Data Fusion for High Quality Data Analysis and Processing in Measurement and Instrumentation

Multisensor data fusion （MDF） is an emerging technology to fuse data from multiple sensors in order to make a more accurate estimation of the environment through measurement and detection. Applications of MDF cross a wide spectrum in military and civilian areas. With the rapid evolution of computers and the proliferation of micro-mechanical/electrical systems sensors, the utilization of MDF is being popularized in research and applications. This paper focuses on application of MDF for high quality data analysis and processing in measurement and instrumentation. A practical, general data fusion scheme was established on the basis of feature extraction and merge of data from multiple sensors. This scheme integrates artificial neural networks for high performance pattern recognition. A number of successful applications in areas of NDI （Non-Destructive Inspection） corrosion detection, food quality and safety characterization, and precision agriculture are described and discussed in order to motivate new applications in these or other areas. This paper gives an overall picture of using the MDF method to increase the accuracy of data analysis and processing in measurement and instrumentation in different areas of applications.     

CFD Based Determination of Dynamic Stability Derivatives in Yaw for a Bird

Dynamic yaw stability derivatives of a gull bird are determined using Computational Fluid Dynamics（CFD） method. Two kinds of motions are applied for calculating the dynamic yaw stability derivatives CNr and CNβ. The first one relates to a lateral translation and, separately, to a yaw rotation. The second one consists of a combined translational and rotational motion. To determine dynamic yaw stability derivatives, the simulation of an unsteady flow with a bird model showing a harmonic motion is performed. The flow solution for each time step is obtained by solving unsteady Euler equations based on a finite volume approach for a small reduced frequency. Then, an evaluation of unsteady forces and moments for one cycle is conducted using harmonic Fourier analysis. The results of the dynamic yaw stability derivatives for both simulations of the model show a good agreement.     

Traits of Masson Pine Affecting Attack of Pine Wood Nematode

Masson pine characteristics were analyzed in five sample plots in Zhejiang Province, China. Bursaphelenchus xylophilus （Steiner et Buhrer） Nickle （pine wood nematode, PWN） carried by Monochamus alternatus predominately attacked Masson pines in the lower diameter classes. Among the 10 tree characteristics examined, mean crown width, percentage of bole with crown, 5-year cumulative diameter growth, and resin amount showed significant variation between successfully attacked and unattacked trees. The attacked trees had a lower percentage of the bole covered with tree crown, lower crown width, lower radial growth in the last 5 years, and produced less induced resinosis than unattacked trees. Results allowed for effective ranking of the pine forest based on individual tree resistance to PWN. This index of resistance should be considered throughout the development of an ＂Evaluation Criterion and Indicator System＂. The preceding ranking can be used to evaluate the resistance and resiliency of the pine forest ecosystem to PWN＇s invasion, which is similar to Pest Risk Analysis （PRA）.     

Evolutionary Genomics of Weedy Rice in the USA

Red rice Is an Interfertlle, weedy form of cultivated rice （Oryza sativa L.） that competes aggressively with the crop In the southern US, reducing yields and contaminating harvests. No wild Oryza species occur In North America and the weed has been proposed to have evolved through multiple mechanisms, Including ＂de-domestication＂ of US crop cultlvars, accidental introduction of Asian weeds, and hybridization between US crops and Asian wild/weedy Oryza strains. The phenotype of US red rice ranges from ＂crop mimics＂, which share some domestication traits with the crop, to strains closely resembling Asian wild Oryza species. Assessments of genetic diversity have Indicated that many weed strains are closely related to Asian taxa （Including indica and aus rice varieties, which have never been cultivated In the US, and the Asian crop progenitor O. ruflpogon）, whereas others show genetic similarity to the tropical Japonica varieties cultivated In the southern US. Herein, we review what Is known about the evolutionary origins and genetic diversity of US red rice and describe an ongoing research project to further characterize the evolutionary genomlcs of this aggressive weed.
