Energy cane varieties are high-fiber sugarcane clones which represent a promising feedstock in the production of alternative biofuels and biobased products. This study explored the crop establishment and whole farm production costs of growing energy cane as a biofuel feedstock in the southeastern USA. More specifically, total production costs on a feedstock dry matter biomass basis were estimated for five perennial energy cane varieties over alternative crop cycle lengths. Variable production costs for energy cane production were estimated to be in the $63 to $76 Mg?1 range of biomass dry matter for crop cycles through harvest of fourth through sixth stubble crops. Total production costs, including charges for fixed equipment costs, general farm overhead, and land rent, were estimated to range between $105 and $127 Mg?1 of feedstock biomass dry matter material. 相似文献

The spatial and temporal population structure of Pseudacteon tricuspis Borgmeier (Diptera: Phoridae), an introduced parasitoid of the invasive red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), was investigated at three locations in Louisiana, USA, during the fall of 2005. Georeferenced disturbed fire ant mounds that attracted adult P. tricuspis were analyzed using Spatial Analysis by Distance IndicEs to model the population structure of this parasitoid on a local spatial scale, and relate spatial abundance to host colony social form and infection with the fire ant pathogen, Thelohania solenopsae Knell, Allen and Hazard (Microsporidia: Thelohaniidae). Spatial associations between P. tricuspis counts and host S. invicta colonies infected with T. solenopsae were not detected. Overall, spatio‐temporal count patterns of P. tricuspis were largely random. However, high P. tricuspis counts were significantly associated with areas of polygyne host colonies. Occasional aggregations of P. tricuspis populations into discrete spatial patches and gaps were also found. The implications of this study are that population surveys of P. tricuspis should be conducted in several areas at a location to account for local patchiness in fly populations and/or varying densities and social form of host ant colonies. 相似文献

采用关联指数(IC)和决定系数(CD)两种方法,度量混合线性模型遗传评估下
猪群体间的遗传关联性。结果表明,加拿大安大略省的大约克夏猪、长白猪、杜洛克猪和汉普夏猪4个主要品种群体间具有良好的遗传联系。CD法既组合了数据结构和信息量,又考虑了预测误差方差和遗传变异性,是一个选择判断遗传评估精度的好方法。
Abstract:Two criteria for the measures of genetic connectedness in mixed linear model of genetic evaluation are used:the degree of connectedness(IC)and the generalized coefficient of determination(CD).The results indicated that the data of four dominant swine breeds:Yorkshire,Landrace,Duroc and Hampshire in Ontario,Canada are well connected.The CD,which combines data structure and amount of information and also accounts for both prediction error variance and genetic variability,is a good method to select for judging the precision of a genetic evaluation. 相似文献

Background
A close association between Sst I polymorphism in the 3' untranslated region of the apolipoproteinC3 (APOC3 ) gene and levels of plasma triglycerides (TG) had been reported by different investigators. Hypertriglyceridemia(HTG) is a known risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) in the context of Asian Indians. We conducted a study on the relationship between APOC3 SstI polymorphism (S1S1, S1S2 and S2S2 genotypes) and plasma TG levels in a group of 139 male healthy volunteers from Northern India. 相似文献15.

Concentration of biofuel feedstock crop production in specific regions of the USA is dependent on the relative comparative advantage of production in a specific region based on several agronomic and economic factors. For the southeastern region of the USA, energy cane and sweet sorghum have been identified as two feedstock crops with the greatest potential for further development of production. This study utilized field trial data from yield studies in Louisiana to develop estimates of feedstock crop production costs and biofuel feedstock input costs for these two crops. Results indicated that feedstock production costs on a harvest yield basis, as well as the related dry matter basis, were heavily dependent on yield level. Economic research from this study indicated that energy cane had a slight cost advantage compared with sweet sorghum, although production of sorghum in certain periods during the growing season was very cost competitive with energy cane. 相似文献

Background
Although the motile sperm organelle morphology examination (MSOME) was developed only as a selection criterion, its application as a method for classifying sperm morphology may represent an improvement in evaluation of semen quality, with potential clinical repercussions. The present study aimed to evaluate individual variations in the motile sperm organelle morphology examination (MSOME) analysis after a time interval. 相似文献18.
Higher-level snake phylogeny inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequences of 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA genes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Portions of two mitochondrial genes (12S and 16S ribosomal RNA) were
sequenced to determine the phylogenetic relationships among the major
clades of snakes. Thirty-six species, representing nearly all extant
families, were examined and compared with sequences of a tuatara and three
families of lizards. Snakes were found to constitute a monophyletic group
(confidence probability [CP] = 96%), with the scolecophidians (blind
snakes) as the most basal lineages (CP = 99%). This finding supports the
hypothesis that snakes underwent a subterranean period early in their
evolution. Caenophidians (advanced snakes), excluding Acrochordus, were
found to be monophyletic (CP = 99%). Among the caenophidians, viperids were
monophyletic (CP = 98%) and formed the sister group to the elapids plus
colubrids (CP = 94%). Within the viperids, two monophyletic groups were
identified: true vipers (CP = 98%) and pit vipers plus Azemiops (CP = 99%).
The elapids plus Atractaspis formed a monophyletic clade (CP = 99%). Within
the paraphyletic Colubridae, the largely Holarctic Colubrinae was found to
be a monophyletic assemblage (CP = 98%), and the Xenodontinae was found to
be polyphyletic (CP = 91%). Monophyly of the henophidians (primitive
snakes) was neither supported nor rejected because of the weak resolution
of relationships among those taxa, except for the clustering of Calabaria
with a uropeltid, Rhinophis (CP = 94%).

Molecular dynamics of synthetic leucine-serine ion channels in a phospholipid membrane 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
Molecular dynamics calculations were carried out on models of two synthetic leucine-serine ion channels: a tetrameric bundle with sequence (LSLLLSL)(3)NH(2) and a hexameric bundle with sequence (LSSLLSL)(3)NH(2). Each protein bundle is inserted in a palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine bilayer membrane and solvated by simple point charge water molecules inside the pore and at both mouths. Both systems appear to be stable in the absence of an electric field during the 4 ns of molecular dynamics simulation. The water motion in the narrow pore of the four-helix bundle is highly restricted and may provide suitable conditions for proton transfer via a water wire mechanism. In the wider hexameric pore, the water diffuses much more slowly than in bulk but is still mobile. This, along with the dimensions of the pore, supports the observation that this peptide is selective for monovalent cations. Reasonable agreement of predicted conductances with experimentally determined values lends support to the validity of the simulations. 相似文献
