A model of associative memory for time varying spatial patterns is proposed and simulated on a digital computer. This is a network composed of many neuron-like elements, and shows an ability for associative memory similar to that of the brain.Suppose a number of sequences of spatial patterns are presented to this network, for example, 12345, ABC, and so on. Then, these patterns are memorized in the network. After that, if any part of one of these sequences, say 23, is presented to the circuit, the rest of the sequence, 45, is recalled following to it. It resembles to such a situation — if we hear a part of a melody which we have memorized in the past, the rest of the melody is recalled even after it is stopped half-way. Although the recalled patterns are not always 100% correct, they are not completely destroyed even if the presented patterns are imperfect. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung In zunehmendem Maße werden anisoploideBeta-Rübensorten angebaut, deren zytologische Kontrolle zwecks Feststellung der Genomstufenprozentanteile recht arbeitszeitaufwendig ist. Übereinstimmend mit polnischen Autoren wurde festgestellt, daß die Hypokotylfarbe ein geeigneter Markierungsfaktor für die einzelnen Genomstufen darstellt. Kreuzt man tetraploide Pflanzen, die ein grünes Hypokotyl besitzen, mit diploiden Pflanzen, die ein rosa Hypokotyl aufweisen, so erhält man von dem tetraploiden Partner tetraploide grüne und triploide hellbraune, von dem diploiden Partner diploide rosa und triploide hellbraune Nachkommenschaften. Die in bezug auf die Hypokotylfarbe heterozygoten Pflanzen kann man demnach von den homozygot grünen und homozygot rosa Individuen unterscheiden. Die Kreuzung diploid grünxtetraploid rosa ist für diese Zwecke nicht brauchbar, da sich die triploiden Heterozygoten mit einem grünen und zwei rosa Allelen in der Hypokotylfarbe nicht deutlich von den homozygoten rosa Pflanzen abheben. Auf die Bedeutung dieser Markierungsmöglichkeit für bestimmte Forschungsprobleme, die Züchtung und die Saatgutkontrolle wird hingewiesen. 相似文献

Interleukin 2-dependent alloreactive cytotoxic T cell lines, with activity predominantly directed against the HLA-A2 antigen, have been generated in vitro by stimulating blood mononuclear cells from donors nonimmune to the Epstein-Barr (EB) virus with appropriate numbers of EB virus-transformed B cells from A2-homozygous individuals. Such effector cells were tested against a panel of EB virus-transformed target cell lines all expressing the serologically defined A2 antigen but typed into common A2 and variant A2 subgroups on the basis of their recognition by A2-restricted EB virus-specific cytotoxic T cells. Variant A2 responder cells cocultivated with common A2-bearing stimulators gave rise to effector T cell lines which recognized only the common A2-bearing subgroup of targets. By contrast, responder cells from A2-negative donors stimulated with common A2-bearing cells produced effector T cell lines in which the strong lysis of common A2-bearing targets was accompanied by a lower, but still significant, lysis directed against all targets within the variant A2 subgroup. In both cases, lysis of the target cells was blocked equally well by the anti-A2-specific monoclonal antibody MA2.1 as by the monoclonal antibody W6/32 specific for HLA-A, -B, and -C determinants. This suggests that HLA-A2 molecules possess at least two distinct sets of epitopes capable of inducing alloreactive T cell cytotoxicity: first, epitopes probably associated with T cell-restricting sites, which generate subgroup-specific responses, and second, epitopes shared by all A2 molecules, and perhaps associated with serologically defined sites, which generate pan A2 group-specific responses.Abbreviations used in this paper EB

Feulgen and silver-stained karyotypes and meiosis of two triploid viviparous onion forms (Allium cepa var.viviparum), the Croatian Ljutika and the Indian Pran, were comparatively analyzed. The results of chromosome measurements show that Ljutika and Pran are karyologically not identical, although significant similarities were found in the morphology of their chromosomes. Five geographically distant clones of Ljutika showed good agreement in the number and gross morphology of the chromosomes and in the number and position of NORs and interphase nucleoli. Heterotrivalents were predominant in meiosis of Ljutika but a relatively high frequency of higher multivalents together with univalents and bivalents were also observed. The relationship between Ljutika and Pran and their possible origin are discussed. 相似文献

Assignment of human ferritin genes to chromosomes 11 and 19q13.3→19qter 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

Summary Extracts of hamster-human and mouse-human hybrids, some with translocations involving chromosome 19, have been assayed for both human spleen ferritin (rich in L subunits) and human heart ferritin (rich in H subunits). Hybrid lines retaining part of the long arm of chromosome 19 including the region 19q13.319qter produced human L type ferritin. This confirms the previous assignment of the ferritin gene to chromosome 19 (Caskey et al. 1983). However, lines retaining chromosome 11 were found to contain human H type ferritin suggesting that the gene for the H subunit is on this chromosome. The presence of chromosome 6 was not necessary for the expression of either H or L type human ferritin. It thus seems unlikely that the gene for idiopathic haemochromatosis is a ferritin gene. 相似文献

The paper aims to represent and scale biometeorological sensations through a thermal index which comprises the effects of temperature, humidity and wind. The cooling power of a measured combination of wind speed and air temperature is equated with that due to the combination of a reference wind speed (related to the air movement experienced by a person walking in still air), and a derived aerodynamic temperature. A biometeorological temperature which is the average of such an aerodynamic temperature and a conventionally measured wet bulb temperature is shown to afford a better measure of comfort in Spain than some other, alternative indices. 相似文献

Chiropractic is the largest unorthodox health profession in the United States. It is licensed in all 50 states and its services covered by governmental and private health insurance. Yet chiropractic remains, in the opinion of medical commentators, an unscientific healing cult. Chiropractic holds that much illness is caused, directly or indirectly, by derangements in homeostasis that result from subtle vertebral malalignments called subluxations. Only a minority of straight chiropracters continue to provide spinal manipulation as their only treatment, while the majority mixers have embraced physical therapy, vitamin supplements and a wide variety of drugless symptomatic treaments Clinical trials suggest that spinal manipulation has short-term benefit in back pain, but the success of chiropractic is not fully explained by that effect. The clinical art, though, as manifested in the chiropractor-patient interaction contributes greatly to chiropractic healing. This process promotes patient acceptance and validation, fulfills expectations, provides explanations and engages the patient's commitment. The same process lies at the core of the art of medicine. Seeing the clinical art as it functions in chiropractic can help us to understand its independent power in medicine. 相似文献

Ultrastructure of four types of striated muscle fibers in the atlantic hagfish (Myxine glutinosa,L.)
Summary Four types of striated muscle fibers with distinctive ultrastructure were defined in the Atlantic hagfish (Myxine glutinosa, L.): white, intermediate, and red fibers of m. parietalis, and red fibers of m. craniovelaris.White fibers are thick, contain very few mitochondria and fat vacuoles, and possess distinct and separate myofibrils with thin Z-disks and distinct M-lines. Intermediate fibers are thinner, possess largely similar myofibrils that often are even better separated due to a higher content of fat vacuoles and especially mitochondria and glycogen granules. Red fibers of m. parietalis contain large amounts of mitochondria, fat vacuoles, and glycogen granules. Their myofibrils possess M-lines, and although branching more, the myofibrils of red fibers conform with a Fibrillenstruktur pattern like those of white and intermediate fibers. Red fibers of m. craniovelaris are very thin, possess many smaller fat vacuoles, and large amounts of mitochondria and glycogen granules. The myofibrils are significantly thinner than in m. parietalis fibers, run as quite independent well separated units, possess thicker Z-disks, and lack M-lines. Large amounts of myosatellite cells are associated with these red fibers.Triads are located near A/I-junctions in all four fiber types and occur irregularly, the density of triads being different in the various fiber types.We are indebted to Dr. Finn Walvig, Biological Station, University of Oslo, Drøbak, for supply of hagfishes, and we also wish to thank Dr. Jan K. S. Jansen, Institute of Physiology, University of Oslo, for valuable suggestions during this study. 相似文献

The polysomal pattern of the dinoflagellate Gonyaulax polyedra, cultured under constant conditions, demonstrates a circadian rhythm. The relative amount of polysomes increases during the phase corresponding to the previous night period (=subjective night phase) when the rate of protein synthesis reaches its maximum (Cornelius et al., 1985, Planta 160, 365–370). Cell-free extracts were isolated at different circadian phase. The rate of protein synthesis in the extracts changed rhythmically in the same manner as the rate of protein synthesis in vivo. Substances in the postribosomal supernatants influenced the protein-synthesis rate of the cell-free system, depending on the phase when they were isolated: night factors stimulated protein synthesis in day extracts whereas day factors inhibited protein synthesis in night extracts. These effects were abolished by heating the postribosomal supernatant. In-vitro phosphorylation in parallel probes showed changes in the pattern of phosphorylated proteins. Phosphorylation of one of the proteins (95 kDa) was decreased after addition of night factor(s) and increased after addition of day factor(s). Cyclic-AMP enhanced the rates of protein synthesis and phosphorylation in the day extracts.Abbreviations cAMP

Populations ofPseudomonas syringae pv.savastanoi on the surface of olive leaves were monitored quarterly from 1974 to 1981. Seven microbiological parameters were measured: the density of the bacteria on the leaves unfolded in March, in June, and in September; the density of the bacteria on random leaves; the mean vigor of bacterial isolates obtained at each sampling time; and the similarity between the isolates, based on both the simple matching coefficient and the pattern coefficient. Seven environmental parameters were also recorded: the mean temperature, the rainfall, and the frequency and velocity of east and west winds during a period of 30 days before each sampling; the rate of turnover of the leaves during the same period; the number of pollen grains on the leaves at the time of sampling; and the 5-day biochemical oxygen demand of the wash water of leaves in each sample. Factor analysis led to extraction of 7 factors that accounted for 70.69%–92.80% of the maximum variance of every microbiological parameter and 68.92%–96.62% of the maximum variance of every environmental parameter. The factors were identified as cambial activity, leaf age, summertime, time of blossoming, summer rains, winter rains, and warm weather fronts. More than 43% of the total parameter variance was loaded in the first 2 factors. Higher communality values (>86% of maximum variance) were obtained for the microbiological parameters based on the distribution of phenotypic characters among the bacterial isolates than for those based on bacterial densities on the phylloplane. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung An Laboratoriumszuchten vonReticulitermes lucifugus Rossi undReticulitermes flavipes Kollar (aus den Hamburger Befallsgebieten) werden Beobachtungen zur Biologie der Ersatzgeschlechtstiere mitgeteilt. Für die Durchführung dieser Beobachtungen wurden besondere Schaunester eingerichtet. Folgende Punkte der beobachteten Verhaltensweisen werden hier hervorgehoben: Die Nymphen der Ersatzgeschlechtstiere sammeln sich stets in Herden von 80–100 Einzeltieren und werden von einer Gruppe Arbeiter (als Hütehunde) bewacht. Die Arbeiter halten die Nymphen auf einem engen Raum zusammen und versuchen andere Nestgenossen von den Nymphen fernzuhalten. Alle ein bis zwei Tage wechseln die Herden ihren Standort. Das Weiterziehen geschieht gleichfalls in Form von Herden.Die Ernährung der Nymphen geschieht auf stomodealem Wege durch die Arbeiter. *** DIRECT SUPPORT *** A0180089 00007 相似文献

Summary Secretory activities of bicellular microhairs from grasses belonging to the subfamilies Chloridoideae, Arundinoideae, Panicoideae, and Bambusoideae, and including the chloridoid, panicoid and Enneapogon microhair morphological types, have been investigated. Light microscopic histochemistry indicated that all microhairs studied secrete polysaccharide and protein (or glycoprotein), including those which also secrete salt. Localization of polysaccharide at ultrastructural level using periodic acid-thiocarbohydrazidesilver proteinate staining revealed that in panicoid type microhairs dictyosomes are involved in polysaccharide secretion, whereas in the chloridoid and Enneapogon types partitioning membranes seem to be involved instead.Abbreviations Ag

The paper characterizes Darwin's theory, providing a synthesis of recent historical investigations in this area. Darwin's reading of Malthus led him to appreciate the importance of population pressures, and subsequently of natural selection, with the help of the wedge metaphor. But, in itself, natural selection did not furnish an adequate account of the origin of species, for which a principle of divergence was needed. Initially, Darwin attributed this to geographical isolation, but later, following his work on barnacles which underscored the significance of variation, and arising from his work on botanical arithmetic, he supposed that diversity allowed more places to be occupied in a given region. So isolation was not regarded as essential. Large regions with intense competition, and with ample variation spread by blending, would facilitate speciation. The notion of place was different from niche, and it is questioned whether Darwin's views on ecology were as modern as is commonly supposed. Two notions of struggle are found in Darwin's theory; and three notions of variation. Criticisms of his theory led him to emphasize the importance of variation over a range of forms. Hence the theory was populational rather than typological. The theory required a Lamarckian notion of inheritable changes initiated by the environment as a source of variation. Also, Darwin deployed a use/habit theory; and the notion of sexual selection. Selection normally acted at the level of the individual, though kin selection was possible. Group selection was hinted at for man. Darwin's thinking (and also the exposition of his theory) was generally guided by the domestic-organism analogy, which satisfied his methodological requirement of a vera causa principle. 相似文献

Summary Intestinal lipid absorption and transport were investigated in albino rats. The observations point towards the existence of a continuity between plasma membrane invaginations and elements of the Golgi complex on its mature face. They also suggest a segregation of lipid droplets by paired Golgi membranes and plasma membrane invaginations. The following way for lipid transport is deduced: lipid droplets moving inside the smooth endoplasmic reticulum accumulate progressively and are condensed in Golgi cisternae of the forming face. Their limiting membrane ruptures and liberated lipid droplets are segregated by paired Golgi membranes of the mature face or by plasma membrane invaginations. Subsequently the inner of the two segregating membranes disappears while the lipid droplet is moved towards the intercellular space inside a canal communicating with this space. The suggestion is made that the Golgi apparatus is of double origin: one component representing a terminal plication of the endoplasmic reticulum; the second one—a terminal plication of the plasma membrane invagination. This concept explains the ultrastructural and histochemical differences between Golgi membranes of the forming and mature faces of the complex. 相似文献

Biology cannot accommodate all aspects of culture. Aspects of culture that a biological approach can take into account can be covered by the biological categories of phenotype and environment. There is no need to treat culture as a separate category. Attempts to elaborate biological explanations of cultural variation will meet with success only if biologists expand theories of development, and integrate them in evolutionary biology. The alternative — elaborating the idea of so-called cultural inheritance — makes little sense from a biological point of view. 相似文献

Conclusion Even a cursory look at the ethnographic literature on other Northwest Coast societies reveals some striking similarities with the Tlingit way of conceptualizing aristocrats as special persons. Thus the Kwakiutl referred to their chiefs as real or complete people, who were heavier than commoners. The Coast Tsimshian called their highest aristocrats real or ripe persons, in contrast to the low-ranking ones, who were described as unhealed or green. The Coast Tshimshian also referred to their chiefs as strong, heavy, and solid like a rock. The neighboring Gitksan contrasted the chiefs, described as people who were good and clean and stayed put, with the commoners, who were said to be dirty, ignorant, and always moving around. Because spirits of the dead liked to return to persons who were clean and showed respect by giving away wealth and feasts, there was considerable moral and practical pressure on the aristocrats to remain pure, train knowledgeable and clean heirs, and continue potlatching. Finally, among the Haida, rank was tied to a wider system of symbolic classification, associating aspects of food, space, clothing, ritual pollution and the ethic of industry with attributes of seniority.While some of the symbolic associations of aristocratic status are culture specific, others are present in several, if not all, of the NWC cultures. What we need is a comparative symbology of aristocratic status, which would combine the reanalysis of the existing ethnographic data with the introduction of some new materials that can still be obtained in the field. Such work would be the best tribute to Irving Goldman himself and to our common illustrious ancestors—Franz Boas and Marcel Mauss.Sergei Kan is Professor of Anthropology at Dartmouth College. 相似文献

Summary This study attempts to elucidate the mechanism through which lysosomal accumulation occurs with age in the epithelial cells of the thyroid gland and especially in the active follicles of the aging mouse thyroid. Thyroid morphology and function in old CBA (at least 24 months of age) male mice were compared with those in young (2 months of age) animals. The effects of different intake of iodine were tested and compared in both cohorts, each of which was divided into three groups: (i) low iodine group, (ii) moderate iodine group, and (iii) high iodine group. As expected, the present work confirmed the well-known accumulation with age of cold follicles coexisting with active follicles in the old mouse thyroid. Attention has been focused on the active follicles whose follicular cells contained in their cytoplasm a large number of pleomorphic dense bodies. The lysosomal nature of these bodies, referred to as secondary lysosomes, was confirmed by histochemistry; however, they displayed variability in acid phosphatase staining. In old animals, regardless of the type of iodine regimen, the ratio between relative follicular volume and relative colloid volume as determined by morphometry remained unchanged. Ultrastructurally, the relative volume occupied by secondary lysosomes in active follicles was always higher than in the young groups. Autoradiographic studies with 125I revealed that a large part of the radioactivity was located in secondary lysosomes of thyroid cells in active follicels of old mice when radioiodine was injected 3 weeks before death. Two different types of vacuoles were present in a non-negligible number of thyrocytes of the active follicles in aged cohorts. The first type was made up of grossly dilated rough endoplasmic cisternae, the second corresponded to intracytoplasmic microfollicular vacuoles. Both aspects have been described in conditions of chronic stimulation. It is concluded (1) that different intake of iodine for 6 weeks does not modulate the thyroid morphology in old mice; (2) that in the thyrocytes of the active follicles in old mice accumulation of secondary lysosomes occurs due to a slowdown of turnover; and (3) that the follicular cells of active follicles feature morphological aspects suggesting a hyperactive state compensating the lack of hormone production in the cold follicles. 相似文献

Conclusion One day I heard the little neighbor boy singing at the top of his voice all by himself in the street outside my window. He was singing a song which seemed to have captured the hearts and imaginations of Belizeans in the summer of 1985. We are the world, we are the children, we are the ones who make a brighter day..., he bellowed. It is a song which I feel symbolizes the desire of these children to be united as children of the world. It expresses the hope and the potential of this little boy (and others like him) in his ability to take for himself the values and global aspirations fashioned from other cultural realities and to make them his own.Part of what it means to be citizens of the world, however, is that the world will judge you. Unitl now, these children have been judged, along with Belize, as underdeveloped, poor, small in worth, lacking, and they have believed the judgment. It will take effort to convince the children that this judgment is based on a myth, a myth which ascribes social characteristics to biological categories and then judges people and limits their material options accordingly. It is a colonial myth which shackles the mind and will not allow for real independence and development. If the children continue to believe this myth, if it continues to be perpetuated, the world will continue to be divided in ways which are not only humanly harmful, unjust and dangerous but which pose... a major threat to societal and even human survivalNancy Lundgren is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio.

This report examines the extent to which dream recall involves the 3 R's (reading, writing, and arithmetic). Two separate studies were done. In the first study, two scorers rated, on a blind basis, a total of 456 written dream reports, available from five previous studies. There was perfect agreement between the two scorers. They agreed that there were no instances of reading, no instances of writing, and one instance of probable calculating in the 456 dreams. The second study was a questionnaire survey. Complete responses were obtained from 240 frequent dreamers (who reported remembering a mean of seven dreams per week). The study examined in two ways the frequency of the 3 R's in their recalled dreams. First, in answer to direct questions as to how frequently they dreamt about each activity, roughly 90% of the respondents reported that they never or hardly ever dreamt about each of four activities: reading, writing, typing, and calculating. In answers to other questions, this group reported spending a mean of six hours per day engaged in these activities. Second, responses as to the relative prominence of six activities (walking, writing, talking with friends, reading, sexual activity, typing) in dreaming versus waking produced two clear groupings of activities. Walking, talking with friends, and sexual activity were each rated almost as prominent in dreaming as in waking whereas the second group consisting of writing, reading, and typing were rated as far more prominent in waking than in dreaming. The two activity groups differed at p < .0001. Thus, the 3 R's appear to occur very infrequently in dreams. These findings are placed in a theoretical frame which suggests that dreaming (compared to waking) deals very little with serial activities characterized by input—rapid-processing—output in which the neural nets function in a feed-forward mode. Rather, dreaming may be characterized by relatively broad or loose connection making in which the nets function more in an autoassociative mode. 相似文献
