1.  An isolated claw-ganglion preparation of the crayfish is described in which reflex activity is maintained for eight hours or more.
2.  Intracellular recording and cobalt injection have made it possible to locate and characterize the claw motoneurons. Soma recordings show attenuated axon spikes of 5–10 mV amplitude and subthreshold potentials of the same magnitude.
3.  The fast closer excitor (FCE) receives subthreshold excitation in parallel with the slow closer excitor (SCE) and the opener inhibitor (OI) even though it seldom fires.
4.  IPSP's are recorded in the opener excitor (OE) concurrent with OI spikes.
5.  Cobalt injection reveals a parallel dendritic structure among the three synergists FCE, SCE and OI, and a distinctly different dendritic distribution for OE. The soma siza ranking: OI<>FCE = SCE is apparent.
6.  The results are discussed and compared with other arthropod systems with regard to the relation between soma size and electrical functions, distribution of somata and dendrites, and effects of cobalt on electrical functioning. A conflict with previous work on this system is discussed.

Electron microscopic investigations of secretory ameloblasts from deciduous tooth germs of mini-pig foetuses and investigations of the ability of various fixatives to preserve these cells in tooth germs immersion-fixed in toto 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min and 40 min after death of the mother gave the following results:
1.  The ameloblasts exhibit ultrastructural characteristics typical of exocrine secretory cells of merocrine type.
2.  The localization of organelles is as in rodent secretory ameloblasts, but differs from the location in the human analogues.
3.  Fixation with 4% formaldehyde invariably gives unacceptable ameloblast preservation.
4.  Fixation with 2.5% glutaraldehyde gives fair preservation of the ameloblasts when the germs are fixed within 10 min of the death of the mother.
5.  Fixation with a fixative mixture 2% formaldehyde — 1.25% glutaraldehyde gives good preservation when the ameloblasts are fixed within 15 min of the death of the mother.
6.  Fixation with a fixative mixture 2% formaldehyde — 1% glutaraldehyde — 1% acrolein gives good ameloblast preservation when the germs are fixed within 15 min of the death of the mother.

1.  Physiological mapping by recording with small electrodes in the fourth root of the crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) sixth abdominal ganglion demonstrates a somatotopic segregation of afferent axons associated with mechanoreceptors on the dorsal telson surface.
2.  Degeneration of axons resulting from local lesions in the periphery yields patterns of axon distribution in the fourth root that approximately agree with the physiological results.
3.  Physiological studies of the fifth root of the sixth ganglion demonstrate a similar segregation of fibers associated with the more caudal and more medial mechanoreceptors on the dorsal telson surface.
4.  The caudal limit of the fourth root receptive field is variable; it can include receptors that normally are innervated by the most lateral fibers in the fifth root, those closest to the fourth root. Thus the fiber distributions are contiguous, and the mechanism governing their connection with appropriate interneurons is independent of the root in which they travel to reach the ganglion.

In recent years anthropologists have made much progress in understanding ancient activities from skeletal remains. In this paper, material from the Iron Age cemetery at Pontecagnano (VII-IV century BC) is used to illustrate activity-related traits of eight basic categories:
(1)  idiosyncratic patterns of dental wear
(2)  activity-related articular degeneration
(3)  non-pathological functional alterations (neoformations, contact facets)
(4)  mechanical remodelling of bone architecture
(5)  enthesopathies (muscular lesions)
(6)  traumatic lesions
(7)  activity-related pathologies
(8)  activity-related nutritional characteristics
These traits, and others, can be used not only singly but in conjunction to define (a) patterns of activity and occupational specialization for individuals, and (b) distributions within society reflecting the basic division of labor by geneder and class.  相似文献

1.  Authentic human acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was expressed inEscherichia coli under regulation of the constitutivedeo promoter or the thermoinduciblePL promoter.
2.  To facilitate expression in the prokaryotic system, recombinant human AChE (rhAChE) cDNA was modified at the N terminus by oligonucleotide substitutions in order to replace some of the GC-rich regions by AT. These modifications did not alter the amino acid sequence but resulted in ample production of the protein.
3.  rhAChE accumulated in the cells and reached a level of 10% of total bacterial proteins. A partially purified inactive recombinant protein was recovered from inclusion bodies.
4.  Active rhAChE was obtained after solubilization, folding, and oxidation, although the recovery of the active enzyme was low. A 20- to 40-fold increase in enzymatically active rhAChE was achieved by replacing Cys580 by serine.
5.  The recombinant enzyme analogue was indistinguishable from native AChE isolated from erythrocytes in terms of substrate specificity and inhibitor selectivity.

3DFS is a 3D flexible searching system for lead discovery. Version 1.0 of 3DFS was published recently (Wang, T.; Zhou, J. J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci., 1998, 38, 71–77). Here version 1.2 represents a substantial improvement over version 1.0. There are six major changes in version 1.2 compared to version 1.0.
1.  A new rule of aromatic ring recognition.
2.  The inclusion of multiple-type atoms and chains in queries.
3.  The inclusion of more spatial constraints, especially the directions of lone pairs.
4.  The improvement of the query file format.
5.  The addition of genetic search for flexible search.
6.  An output option for generating MOLfiles of hits.
Besides the above, this paper supplies:
1.  More query examples.
2.  A comparison between genetic search and Powell optimization.
3.  More detailed comparison between 3DFS and Chem-X.
4.  A preliminary application of 3DFS to K+ channel opener studies.

1.  The overall rate of feeding at 28°C bears an inverse relationship to size; the time course of feeding appears to be size-independent and shows a decline with increase in time.
2.  Absorption efficiency is independent of size.
3.  The rates of absorption and conversion and conversion efficiency are inversely related to size.
4.  The rate of feeding is reflected on the rates of absorption and conversion.

In the rift valley (North-East of France/South-West of Germany), the Rhine runs freely for 300 km from South to North. The absence of natural obstacles allows the development of a very regular profile of the river. We have therefore an opportunity to study very gradual modifications of the alluvial forest communities of the fluvial corridor from upstream to downstream, according to the gradual evolution of the ecological factors, related to slope decrease and hydrological modifications.We describe, from Basel to Mainz:
1)  modification of dynamic processes in the forest communities such as successional sequences or sylvigenetic mosaïcs of the terminal stages.
2)  modification of species richness.
3)  reduction of species diversity.
4)  simplification of the forest stratification.
5)  modification of efficiency of the biogeochemical cycling.
6)  ecological vicariances.
7)  modification in species behaviour.

Conclusions  
(1)  The aminoesters inhibit glucose-stimulated proton extrusion by yeast cells.
(2)  The inhibitory activity depends on aliphatic carbon chain length.
(3)  The inhibition of proton extrusion is concentration-dependent.
(4)  The aminoesters stimulate quinacrine accumulation in vacuoles of yeast cells so they should possess affinities for lysosomes.

1.  Seasonal changes in the half-times (0.5) for calcium influx and outflux in bone, skin and scales, and soft-tissue compartments ofF. kansae were measured.
2.  The size of diffusible calcium pools in the three compartments was estimated from the ratio of the loading and unloading half-times. Both the bone and skin and scales compartments contain diffusible calcium pools which increase in size during the summer months.
3.  The calcium in the soft-tissue compartment is all diffusible, and the kinetics indicate that this compartment receives calcium from the other two compartments.
4.  Hypophysectomy reduced the rate of calcium turnover in summer animals to the levels measured in intact winter animals. Such treatment also affected the distribution of radiocalcium within the animal.
5.  It is concluded that acellular bone is a metabolically active tissue.

1.  At 28°C conversion efficiency of total nitrogen (TN) was inversely related to size.
2.  In the pre-adult stage protein nitrogen (PN) conversion efficiency was high whereas in the Post-adult stage non-protein nitrogen (NPN) conversion efficiency was high.
3.  Lower temperature (20°C) was not congenial for PN conversion.
4.  Higher temperature favoured PN conversion for smaller fish but NPN for larger fish.

1.  Direct contact between intra-epithelial nerve endings and ciliated cells was observed in frog (Rana pipiens) palate epithelium.
2.  Electrical stimulation of the palatine nerve to the explant or the explant culture induced an increase in ciliary beat frequency in explant and outgrowth cells.
3.  Atropine inhibited electrically stimulated ciliary beat frequency increase in the explant and outgrowth cells.
4.  Gap junctional intercellular communication appears to be involved in the propagation of stimulated ciliary beat frequency increase from innervated to non-innervated ciliated cells.

This paper reviews research results on food competition between a freshwater fish community and a breeding Tufted duck population. After the experimental removal of fish from the Main Lake, the following effects were observed:
(1)  1. Invertebrate (chironomid and gastropod) food for ducklings and adult Tufted ducks increased substantially.
(2)  2. Tufted duckling brood use of the lake increased greatly and Tufted duckling survival appears to have increased.
(3)  3. Shoveler and Pochard nested successfully for the first time.
(4)  4. Submerged aquatic macrophytes grew profusely over the lake bed for the first time leading directly to large increases in use of the Lake by wintering herbivorous waterfowl.
(5)  5. When fish were re-introduced to the Main Lake sampling bay the increases in invertebrate abundance and, to a less marked extent, macrophyte abundance were reversed.

Cannibalism in teleost fish   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
1.  Cannibalistic behaviour in fish is reviewed here for the first time.
2.  Cannibalism has been recorded in 36 out of 410 teleost families according to the published literature, but is considered to be more widespread than this. Finding examples of cannibalism is not difficult, and it may be more interesting to look for taxa in which the behaviour does not take place.
3.  The families that have provided the most information include the Engraulididae, Esocidae, Poeciliidae, Gasterosteidae, Percidae and Cichlidae.
4.  Cannibalism has been classified into seven types, depending on life-history stage, age difference between cannibal and prey, and whether or not they are related.
5.  Although in captive populations, cannibalism tends to increase with increasing density and decreasing food availability, its role in population regulation has not been unequivocally demonstrated in any wild population, and obtaining the necessary data presents a formidable challenge to fish ecologists.
6.  Cannibalism is of some economic importance in aquaculture, but its impact can be reduced relatively easily, by frequent grading to reduce size variability.
7.  The main proximate advantage conferred by cannibalism is assumed to be nutritional. In an ultimate sense the behaviour may have evolved as a particularly effective competitive strategy.
8.  Finally, it is considered that cannibalism deserves more attention from fish biologists. Investigations, however, should recognize the different types of cannibalistic interaction, and, in particular, should explore the different implications of kin and nonkin cannibalism

1.  Properties of the membrane currents ofDidinium nasutum have been investigated under voltage clamp in different solutions and after deciliation.
2.  Theearly transient Ca2+ inward current activates in a voltage-dependent manner. Inactivation is both Ca2+ -dependent and voltage-dependent.
3.  Alate Ca2+ current rises with time to peak > 50 ms and decays in the order of seconds.
4.  Activation and inactivation of the late Ca2+ current is voltage-dependent.
5.  The delayed outward current is activated by voltage. The kinetics of this K+ current, but not its amplitude, are enhanced in the presence of intracellular EGTA.
6.  The two voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels are located in the cilia, whereas all K+ channels are restricted to the somatic membrane.

1.  We used laser vibrometry and free field sound stimulation to study the frequency responses of the eardrum and the lateral body wall of awake male Eleutherodactylus coqui.
2.  The eardrum snowed one of two distinct frequency responses depending on whether the glottis was open (GO response) or closed (GC response) during the measurement.
3.  The lateral body wall vibrated with a maximum amplitude close to that of the eardrum and in the same frequency range.
4.  Covering the frog's body wall with vaseline reduced the vibration amplitude of the GC response by up to 15 dB.
5.  When a closed sound delivery system was used to stimulate a local area of the body wall the eardrum also showed one of two types of responses.
6.  These results suggest that sound is transmitted via the lung cavity to the internal surface of the eardrum. This lung input has a significant influence on the vibrations of the eardrum even when the glottis is closed.
7.  The vibration amplitude of the eardrum changed with the angle of sound incidence. The directionality was most pronounced in a narrow frequency range between the two main frequencies of the conspecific advertisement call.
