图们江流域林区居民点鸟类群落的研究

居民点鸟类与人类关系极为密切,在居民点生态系统中起着不可忽视的作用,因此对其生态学的研究具有一定意义。杜恒勤(1958、1959)、周昌乔等(1959)、钱国桢(1964)、郑光美(1965、1982),赵正阶(1981)等,对麻雀、家燕、金腰燕等居民点鸟类进行过大量种群生态学研究。居民点鸟类群落研究和数量统计,尚未见有报道。     

Application of macroscopic balances to the identification of gross measurement errors

A systematic method is presented which is capable of both detecting the presence of grossly biased measurement errors and locating the source of these errors in a bioreactor through statistical hypothesis testing. Equality constraints derived from material and energy balances are employed for the detection of data inconsistencies and for the subsequent identification of the suspect measurements by a process of data analysis and rectification. Maximum likelihood techniques are applied to the estimation of the states and parameters of the bioreactor after the suspect measurements have been eliminated. The level of significance is specified by the experimenter while the measurments are assumed to be randomly, normally distributed with zero mean and known variances. Two different approaches of data analysis, batchwise and sequential, that lead to a consistent set of adjustments on the experimental values, are discussed. Several examples based on the fermentation data taken from literature sources are presented to demonstrate the utility of the proposed method, and one set of data is solved numerically to illustrate the computational aspect of the algorithm.     

Value of chemical mixture in multiple supralethal X-irradiation of mice

A chemical mixture containing 25 Amoles of MEA, 7 pmoles of AET, and 2 micromoles of 5-HT was found to be of significant value in protecting mice against repeated exposures of 800 R, 1100 R, or 1400 R given at intervals of 28 days. Dose-reduction factors of 2.17, 2.18, 1.95, 2.14, and 1.58 were obtained for the first five exposures. Following the first exposure there was no chemical mortality. The beneficial value of this mixture, however, was limited by the incidence of chemical toxicity which was more prevalent in mice with higher cumulative doses of radiation.     

Noncomplementarity in base sequences between the cohesive ends of coliphages 186 and lambda and the formation of interlocked rings between the two DNA's

The half molecules of 186 DNA have been isolated by the Hg(II)–Cs₂SO₄ density gradient centrifugal ion technique. The buoyant densities of the two halves in CsCI at 25°C. are 1.713 and 1.709 g./cm.³, corresponding to GC contents of 54% and 50%, respectively. Similarly, 5-bromouracil labeled λ DNA halves were separated. The isolation of the four DNA halves made it possible to test for homology in base sequences between the cohesive ends of λ and those of 186. There was no indication of any significant homology in base sequences between the cohesive ends of the two DNA's, as indicated by the absence of a band with intermediate buoyant density in CsCI when either half of 186 DNA was annealed with either half of 5-bromouracil labeled λ DNA and then centrifuged. The lack of cohesion between the two DNA's made it possible to demonstrate unequivocally the formation of interlocked rings (catenanes) between the two DNA's. The existence of a dimeric catenane is evidenced by the formation of a species of intermediate buoyant density when 5-bromouracil labeled λ DNA is cyclized in the presence of cyclic 186 DNA of a relatively high concentration. The molecular weight of one DNA relative to the other can be calculated from the position of the dimeric catenane in a density gradient by using the method of Baldwin. The result was in complete agreement with our previous measurements from the sedimentation coefficients and by electron microscopy. The probability of dimeric catenane formation when one DNA is cyclized in the presence of another DNA is discussed. The experimental results agree with the theoretical expectation.
