《Harmful algae》2009,8(1):3-13
In January 2003, the US Environmental Protection Agency sponsored a “roundtable discussion” to develop a consensus on the relationship between eutrophication and harmful algal blooms (HABs), specifically targeting those relationships for which management actions may be appropriate. Academic, federal, and state agency representatives were in attendance. The following seven statements were unanimously adopted by attendees based on review and analysis of current as well as pertinent previous data:
  • (1)Degraded water quality from increased nutrient pollution promotes the development and persistence of many HABs and is one of the reasons for their expansion in the U.S. and other nations;
  • (2)The composition–not just the total quantity–of the nutrient pool impacts HABs;
  • (3)High-biomass blooms must have exogenous nutrients to be sustained;
  • (4)Both chronic and episodic nutrient delivery promote HAB development;
  • (5)Recently developed tools and techniques are already improving the detection of some HABs, and emerging technologies are rapidly advancing toward operational status for the prediction of HABs and their toxins;
  • (6)Experimental studies are critical to further the understanding about the role of nutrients in HABs expression, and will strengthen prediction and mitigation of HABs; and
  • (7)Management of nutrient inputs to the watershed can lead to significant reduction in HABs.
Supporting evidence and pertinent examples for each consensus statement are provided herein.  相似文献

  • 1.1. The planktonic diatom Ditylum brightwellii, grown in light-limited resp. nitrogen-limited continuous culture, has been exposed to Cu levels, comparable with those in the Scheldt estuary.
  • 2.2. At increasing levels D. brightwellii initially detoxified Cu, producing metal-binding ligands (amino acids), and increasing its cell volume.
  • 3.3. In light-limited D. brightwellii, photosynthesis could be adjusted to increasing Cu stress, division rates remained constant, and cells proved to be adaptable to 200 nM dissolved Cu.
  • 4.4. Nitrogen-limited D. brightwellii detoxified Cu inadequately: it stored large amounts of Cu (30–60 μM) that inhibited cell division.

  • 1.1. Extracts prepared from dried or fresh skins of 140 American amphibian species, other than bufonids, were subjected to chemical and biological screening in order to determine the presence and concentrations of aromatic biogenic amines.
  • 2.2. The most frequent and abundantly occurring amine category was that of indolealkylamines, represented by their prototype 5-hydroxytryptamine and its N-methylated derivatives. Conjugated and cyclized indolealkylamines, typical for the toad skin, were apparently lacking.
  • 3.3. Phenylalkylamines were represented by two quaternary ammonium bases: leptodactyline and, very rarely, candicine. Leptodactyline was particularly abundant in leptodactylid frogs of the genus Leptodactylus.
  • 4.4. Histamine occurred in trace amounts in different species, in large amounts only in some Leptodactylus species of the “pachypus” section. On the other hand, N-methylated histamines and cyclized histamines (spinaceamines) were confined to the skin of Leptodactylus pentadactylus labyrinthicus.
  • 5.5. The possible taxonomical and evolutionary significance of amphibian skin amines is pointed out.

  • 1.1. The crystallin proteins of numerous species belonging to different classes of vertebrates have been studied.
  • 2.2. Species-specific crystallin patterns are revealed which unequivocally characterize the different species.
  • 3.3. A marked variability in the number and percentage of alpha-, beta- and gamma-crystallins were found in the various species.
  • 4.4. The gamma-crystallin family, with a meagre number of common bands, has proved to be most representative of the species. The beta-crystallins, with their greater number of common bands, have been best preserved throughout vertebrate evolution.
  • 5.5. From the similarity coefficient matrix a dendrogram is drawn up, a visual phylogenetic summary of the interrelationships between the vertebrates considered.
  • 6.6. In the Discussion, other aspects are considered, such as lens morphology, functionality, animal age, post-synthetic modifications and genetic factors.

  • 1.1. Blood, liver, heart, testis, skin, eye, muscle and kidney samples were obtained from elephants (Loxodonta africana) in the Kruger National Park during a culling programme in April 1992.
  • 2.2. Gene products of 25 protein coding loci in L. africana were examined by horizontal starch-gel electrophoresis.
  • 3.3. Eighteen protein coding loci (72%) displayed monomorphic gel banding patterns whereas only seven (28%) displayed polymorphic gel banding patterns.
  • 4.4. Average heterozygosity values for adults, youngsters and the total population are respectively 0.058, 0.024 and 0.047.
  • 5.5. Relative gene diversities within and between populations are 84% and 16% respectively.
  • 6.6. Two population simulation programmes were utilized to predict the duration of the current variability present in this species, based on current genetic variation and gene transfer from one generation to the next.

This paper comments on: Low, B. S., Alexander, R. D., and Noonan, K.M. Human hips, breast, and buttocks: Is fat deceptive? Ethology and Sociobiology 8: 249-247, 1987. In it I argue that:
  • 1.1. Sexual selection has probably not been the most important selection pressure on
  • 2.female human body shape.
  • 3.2. Male humans in different cultures find different aspects of the female body attractive
  • 4.and therefore are unlikely to have exerted consistent directional sexual selection on
  • 5.the female body.
  • 6.3. Breast size is not correlated with lactation success.
  • 7.4. Visible hip width is not correlated with parturition success.
  • 8.5. Women would lower their fitness if they tried to deceive men about their internal
  • 9.pelvic dimensions.
  • 10.6. There are many alternative hypothesis to explain the existence of fat onwomen's
  • 11.breast, hips, and buttocks.

  • 1.1. Spike frequency adaptation has been studied on neurons of Helix pomatia subesophageal ganglia and interpreted by means of a behavioural model describing the phenomenon in neurons either silent or autorhythmic at rest.
  • 2.2. At low stimulating currents the initial discharge frequency F(0) is linearly related to the current strength G.
  • 3.3. In the linearity range F(0)/G each neuron was characterized by means of four model parameters: the proportionality constant between F(0) and G, the decay constant of the frequency, the inhibitory current from a single nerve impulse and the decay time constant of the inhibitory current.
  • 4.4. The four parameters varied in different cells with a range of 0.18–4.98 Hz/nA, 1.02–3.85 sec, 0.05–0.95 nA and 1.74–22.33 see, respectively.
  • 5.5. Experimental results have been analyzed considering inhibitory current, electrogenie sodium pump and other proposed adaptation parameters.

  • 1.1. Among the digestive enzymes synthesized by pancreas, lipase is the principle lipolytic enzyme which hydrolyses dietary glycerides.
  • 2.2. For its action it requires a coenzyme, colipase.
  • 3.3. The molecular mechanisms of the interaction of these two are not fully understood.
  • 4.4. Further, molecular events that regulate and influence lipid absorption are ill denned.
  • 5.5. The rabbit is the conventional animal model for the study of lipid absorption. We have undertaken the molecular cloning, and characterization of rabbit pancreatic colipase, the coenzyme for pancreatic lipase.
  • 6.6. Colipase has been cloned from a gt 11 library of an adult rabbit pancreatic cDNA by probing with an oligonucleotide derived from human colipase sequence.
  • 7.7. The total reading frame consists of 321 nucleotides coding for 90 amino acids of the functional protein and 17 nucleotides of the leader peptide.
  • 8.8. Northern blot analysis revealed a distinct band around 0.5kb. Comparison with other species revealed an over all homology of 75% at the nucleotide level.

  • 1.1. A series of diesters of isohematoporphyrin (isoHp), from dimethyl to dioctyl were prepared according to Rimington et al. (1989b). Their optical absorption, fluorescence spectra and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) retention times were recorded.
  • 2.2. A plot of HPLC retention time against number of C atoms in the alcohol used for esterification was approximately linear at first then rising steeply from diamyl to diocyi ester, whether a gradient elution was used or only methanol: water, 95/5, at pH 7.5.
  • 3.3. Preparation of the diethers of isoHp was much more difficult than that of the corresponding derivatives of hematoporphyrin (Hp). Several different methods were investigated, varying both times and temperatures.
  • 4.4. These methods included reaction of isoHp or its demethyl ester with
    • 4.1.(i) a bromoalkane in presence of anhydrous K2CO3;
    • 4.2.(ii) reaction with bromoalkane and Ag2O;
    • 4.3.(iii) reaction of brominated-isoHp, prepared by using thionylbromide, with the selected alcohol, or corresponding sodium alcoholate;
    • 4.4.(iv) heating of isoHp alone with an alcohol containing 20% (w/v) H2SCO4 (temp. range from 45° to 118°C),
    • 4.5.(v) refluxing as in (iv) at the b.p. of the alcohol; and
    • 4.6.(vi) carrying out this reaction in refluxing ethyleneglycoldimethyl ether (b.p. 85°C) or diethyleneglycoldimethyl ether (b.p. 155°C).
  • 5.5. Some diether formation was observable by all these methods but yields were small, a considerable quantity of unreacted isoHp and other products remaining.
  • 6.6. Examined by HPLC, the diethers consistently afforded a forked peak which on thin layer chromatography was only resolved into two very closely associated bands by a solvent mixture carefully selected for development.
  • 7.7. On elution these materials had virtually identical optical absorption and fluoresence spectra.
  • 8.8. The nature of the association is discussed, atropisomers (Gottwald and Ullman, 1969) and possible stacked monomer: dimers (Abraham et al., 1963) being considered as possibilities.
