轮虫

轮虫中浮游动物中的一个重要成员，广泛分布于各类淡水水域中，是经济水生动物的开口铒料和优质食物。有纤毛的头冠，骨质化的口器和焰茎球的原肾管是轮虫主要形态结构特征。研究轮虫可深入了解无脊椎动物的系统发育，亦可促进它的开发、利用。

深圳大学校园建筑被誉为学院派跨世纪佳作，是富有创新精神的深大人集体智慧的结晶，和许多大学比，其建筑结构与布局表现了先锋性（新）和独创性（异）、“异”指摆脱了老旧大学的传统建筑套路，“新”则在于体现了改革开放的时代精神和超前意识，校园民人和环境的协调关系，努力创造具有亲和力的“场”，顺应经济化的未来趋势，突出科技的地位和发展智能的重要性，寄寓“天地人和”的理想，从而使校园整体建构具有恒久的人价值     

Fractal root system of Melica przewalskyi along different aspect in degraded grassland

Aims Fractal root system is phenotypic plasticity result of plant root architecture to respond to environmental heterogeneity, may reflect the growth strategy of plants to adapt to environmental conditions. Our objective was to explore the relationship between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance of fractal root system of Melica przewalskyi population in response to aspect variation in the northwest of China. Methods The study site was located in a degraded alpine grassland on the northern slope in Qilian Mountains, Gansu Province, China. Survey and sampling were carried out at 40 plots which were set up along four slope aspects transects with 20 m distance between adjacent plots. Handheld GPS was used to determine the elevation, longitude and latitude of each plot. ArcGIS was used to set up digital elevation model (DEM). Community traits were investigated and six individuals roots of M. przewalskyi were collected randomly at each plot. The samples were cleaned and divided into different organs, then scanning the root with the Win-RHIZO for measurements of fractal dimension and fractal abundance in laboratory, and their biomass were then measured after being dried at 80 °C in an oven. Important findings With the slope aspect turned from north to east, west, and south, the density, height and soil moisture content of the plant community displayed a pattern of initial decline, the height, density, root fractal abundance of M. przewalskyi increased and the root fractal dimension decreased. The root fractal dimension was negatively associated with the fractal abundance in all aspects, but the relationship varied along the slope aspects gradient; there was a highly significant negative correlation (p < 0.01) between the root fractal dimension and fractal abundance at north slope and south slope aspect, whereas the correlation only reached a significant level (p < 0.05) at the east slope aspect and west slope aspect; indicating that there is a trade-off between the root fractal dimension and fractal abundance. In addition, when the slope aspect changed from north to east, west and south, the standardized major axis (SMA) slope of the regression equation in the scaling relationships between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance increased (p < 0.05), indicating that the roots of M. przewalskyi at the droughty southern slope have less branch and more sparse in the same soil volume of root exploitation and utilization. Consequently, the resource allocation pattern on reasonable trade-off between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance in different slope aspect of M. przewalskyi, reflects the relationship between the income and the cost of construction of plant root architecture.

水杉花粉外壁超微结构的观察

本文报道水杉（Metasequoia glyptostroboides Hu et Cheng)花粉外壁透射电镜资料,与杉科各属花粉特征做了比较,根据透射电镜观察表明,水杉花粉外壁由外壁外层和外壁内层组成,外壁外层由昆密联结的颗粒层和分布稀少的乌氏体组成,后者表面具小刺及不明显的纵向小沟,外壁内层具有十分清楚的片层状结构,由10－15片组成,全部片层均具三层壁结构,最外面（靠近外层）的几片,三层型结构特别清楚,明晰。有的三层型结构层中间的白线松散,形成三根极细的白线。

胰岛素受体结构与功能研究概况

胰岛素受体(IR)是由两个α-亚基和两个β-亚基构成的跨膜糖蛋白。α-亚基位于细胞表面,是胰岛素结合区域。β-亚基的1/3也位于细胞表面,其余2/3则跨膜并插入胞浆中,后者是IR的活力区域,具有受胰岛素调节的酪氨酸蛋白激酶活性,此活性受多位点磷酸化的调节并表现出变构酶行为。不同组织的IR在分子结构,化学性质和生理功能上均有差异,其中脑IR代表了IR的一个结构和功能亚型。IR的生物合成类似于胰岛素的生物合成。
