Twelve of the main European LCA software packages currently available are examined wirh the aim of establishing which are
the most appropriate for LCAs on industrial processes. The packages performances are assessed in terms of
The review concludes with a Specification Table which summarises the facilities available on each software package.
The general conclusion from this study is that for industrially based LCAs, there are four packages which may offer advantages
over the rest. These are The Boustead Model, The Ecobilan Group’s TEAM™, PEMS 3.0 and SimaPro 3.1. 相似文献

| 1. | A retention time of 150 days in the storage reservoir leads to a quite considerable reduction in copper and lead concentration (around 75% for lead and 50% for copper), while a levelling-off in the marked variations in the water flowing in is also found. |
| 2. | Copper concentrations in the storage reservoir and the model reservoirs show a less constant picture with time then lead concentrations. This may well be caused by the absorption of copper by e.g. phytoplankton. |
| 3. | Treatment of the water with Fe++ or AVR seems to have no effect on the removal of lead or suspended matter. |
| 4. | Because of the small number of measurements it is difficult to quantify these results. |
| 5. | For statements about seasonal trends, measurements must be made over a period of at least three years; they must be made at least once a week and the sampling procedure as regards place and frequency must remain unchanged. |
| 6. | The available data indicate that in spite of the effect of mobilisation the removal of the two metals is such that sudden drastic rises of concentration in the unfiltered surface water entering the purification installation is not to be expected. |

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:
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

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. | Some properties of the open-tipped, uninsulated, pH-sensitive glass microelectrode were examined in several electrical experiments. |
| 2. | Based on these observations, technical and theoretical problems were considered for application to the pH measurement in small cells. |
| 3. | The intracellular pH, (pH)i, of the epithelial cell in rat duodenum measured was approximately 7.0. A reduction in (pH)i was apparent (about 0.3) with the addition of 20 mM-glucose to the bathing fluid. |
| 4. | It was concluded, that with certain limitations such uninsulated, open-tipped microelectrodes may be successfully utilized for intracellular pH measurements. |

Culture studies with healthy and virus-infected isolates of Ectocarpus siliculosus, Feldmannia simplex and F. irregularis gave the following results:
相似文献
| – | Virus particles are produced in deformed reproductive organs (sporangia or gametangia) of the hosts and are released into the surrounding seawater. |
| – | Their infective potential is lost after several days of storage under laboratory conditions. |
| – | New infections occur when gametes or spores of the host get in contact with virus particles. The virus genome enters all cells of the developing new plant via mitosis. |
| – | Virus expression is variable, and in many cases the viability of the host is not impaired. Infected host plants may be partly fertile and pass the infection to their daughter plants. |
| – | Meiosis of the host can eliminate the virus genome and generate healthy progeny. |
| – | The genome of the Ectocarpus virus consists of dsDNA. Meiotic segregation patterns suggest an intimate association between virus genome and host chromosomes. |
| – | An extra-generic host range has been demonstrated for the Ectocarpus virus. |
| – | Field observations suggest that virus infections in ectocarpalean algae occur on all coasts of the world, and many or all Ectocarpus and Feldmannia populations are subject to contact with virus genomes. |

| 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. |

Summary

| 1. | S100B is a calcium-binding protein expressed and secreted by astrocytes, which has been implicated in glial-neuronal communication. Extracellular S100B appears to protect hippocampal neurons against toxic concentrations of glutamate. Here we investigated a possible autocrine role of S100B in glutamate uptake activity. |
| 2. | Astrocyte cultures were prepared of hippocampi from neonate Wistar rats. [3H] Glutamate uptake was measured after addition of S100B protein, antibody anti-S100B or TRTK-12, a peptide that blocks S100B activity mediated by the C-terminal region. |
| 3. | Antibody anti-S100B addition decreased glutamate uptake measured 30 min after medium replacement, without affecting cell integrity or viability. Moreover, low levels of S100B (less than 0.1 ng/mL) stimulated glutamate uptake measured immediately after medium replacement. |
| 4. | This finding reinforces the importance of astrocytes in the glutamatergic transmission, particularly the role of S100B neuroprotection against excitotoxic damage. |

In a task designed to simulate olfactory-guided foraging, the ability of squirrel monkeys to discriminate an artificial 12-component odorant from 3-, 6-, 9- or 11- component submixtures was investigated. A combination of factors was found to contribute to the animals' performance:

| 1. | Discriminability generally decreased as the number of components in the submixture increased. |
| 2 | Submixtures did not contribute equally to mixture perception, and one component in particular (cineole) disproportionately influenced stimulus discriminability. |
| 3. | Interactive effects between submixtures resulted in marked deviations from the general pattern of discriminability. |
| 4. | Changes in the relative concentration of submixtures could also influence discriminability. |
| 5. | Finally, individual differences in responsiveness to particular stimuli were apparent. |

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. | The effects of potassium channel blockade on afferent axons and terminal regions in frog dorsal roots and spinal cords, respectively, were investigatedin vitro. |
| 2. | A condition-test (C-T) protocol was used to assess the population relative refractory period. Characteristics of main axons were evaluated by stimulation at the proximal end of transected dorsal roots (DR). Characteristics of terminal regions were tested by stimulation at the base of the dorsal horn (DH). |
| 3. | DH recovery of excitability was delayed by low concentrations of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) and tetraethylammonium (TEA) alone or combined. The same treatments did not affect recovery to DR stimulation. |
| 4. | DH recovery of excitability was not delayed by solutions suppressing terminal calcium influx. |
| 5. | We conclude that sensitivity of the relative refractory period to potassium channel blocking agents differs between main axons and axon terminal regions. This may indicate differences between axon terminals and main axons in the mechanism of action potential repolarization. |
| 6. | We hypothesize that rapid action potential repolarization by pharmacologically sensitive potassium channels in presynaptic terminal regions keeps terminal action potentials short. Terminal action potential brevity would limit calcium influx, thus preventing terminal calcium overload but contributing to transmission failures at spinal synapses. |

| 1. | Coupling mechanisms between ciliary beating and the membrane potential in Paramecium were investigated under voltage clamp applying intracellular pressure injection of cAMP, cGMP and Ca-EGTA buffer. Ciliary responses following step changes in membrane potential were recorded by high-speed video on magnetic tape. |
| 2. | Injections of cAMP and cGMP up to millimolar concentrations caused no detectable changes in the frequency voltage relationship. A minor effect was that the ciliary reorientation towards the anterior cell end (reversal) tended to be inhibited with depolarization up to 10 mV. |
| 3. | Injection of Ca2+ into the cell clamped at the resting potential caused a transient anteriad ciliary reorientation and a simultaneous increase in the beating frequency. |
| 4. | Injection of EGTA (to buffer Ca2+ below 10–8 M) was ineffective in relation to frequency for several minutes. After this time, hyperpolarization- and depolarization activated frequency responses of EGTA-injected cells were increasingly inhibited. The ciliary reorientation following depolarization was not affected by EGTA. |
| 5. | A posterior contraction of the cell diameter was noticed upon membrane hyperpolarization. The contraction coincided in time with the increase in beating frequency. |
| 6. | The results support the view that the voltage-dependent augmentation of the ciliary beating rate is not directly mediated by an intracellular increase in either cAMP or cGMP. |
| 7. | The role of Ca2+ as intracellular messenger in the ciliary and somatic compartments is discussed. |
