The hollowness of crosslinked hollow phenolic fibers was regulated successfully from 9 % to 80 % by adjusting the curing temperature
of the partially crosslinked fibers. The partially crosslinked fibers was studied in detail by mass gained, tensile strength,
solvent dissolution, SEM, IR, and TG analysis, and the prepared hollow phenolic fibers with different degrees of hollowness
were characterized with SEM, tensile strength, TG-DSC and TG-MS. The results show that the factor determining the hollowness
is the crosslinked extent of the partially crosslinked fibers and the hollow fibers with different degrees of hollowness have
similar crosslinkage, mechanical properties and thermal stability. 相似文献
Two experiments were undertaken to select the efficient method applied for goat estrous synchronization. In experiment 1,
a total of 120 does (Capra hircus) were divided into five groups with a randomized block design, and the does of treatment 1 were synchronized by intravaginal
sponges impregnated with 30 mg Levonorgestrel inserted for 10 days. Does of treatments 2, 3, and 4 were treated with further
injection of 25 IU follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), 0.05 mg prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2α), and 25 IU FSH + 0.05 mg PGF2α at sponge withdrawal, respectively. The does in the control group (n = 40) without estrous synchronization treatment and natural estrous does were observed. In experiment 2, a total of 140 does
in five goat farms in breeding and non-breeding seasons were treated with the selective efficient procedure. The results presented
that all the employed treatments were capable of inducing and synchronizing estrous goats. According to estrous response and
economy, the use of intravaginal sponges impregnated with 30 mg Levonorgestrel and 0.05 mg PGF2α (treatment 3) is the first choice for estrous synchronization, and 95.0% of synchronized does demonstrated estrus, which
was significantly higher than that of treatment 1 (P < 0.05) and control group (P < 0.01). The percentages of ovulating of treatments 3 and 4 were the same (95.0%), which were significantly higher than that
of treatment 1 (P < 0.01). The ovulation rates among different groups were not significant (P > 0.05). When the selective procedure was applied to five goat farms, 85.7% (120/140) of does demonstrated estrus, and the
kidding percentage, litter size, and prolificacy rate were 53.6%, 0.95, and 177%, respectively. 相似文献
The comparative effects of iron-supplemented levels on growth, tissue distribution, haematology and immunology of gilthead
sea bream, Sparus aurata (2 g) were investigated, using four organic (50, 100, 200, 300 mg ORG/kg diet) and one inorganic iron source (200 INOR mg/kg diet).
Fish were treated for 12 weeks with the experimental diets and maintained at a water temperature of 19–22°C. Growth (final
weight and specific growth rate), tissue distribution (spleen, liver and muscle), haematological parameters (red blood cells,
haematocrit, haemoglobin and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration) and non-specific immune indexes (respiratory burst
activity and antibacterial activity of serum) were analysed. No significant differences were found in growth and iron tissue
distribution among the tested groups. Red blood cell counting was statistically higher in fish given 50 ORG, 100 ORG, 200
ORG and 200 INOR feeds. However, haematocrit, haemoglobin and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration were not significantly
affected by increasing dietary iron. Fish receiving the 100 ORG diet had the best performance with respect to the respiratory
burst activity and significantly higher values for antibacterial activity of serum were obtained in fish fed with the 300
ORG diet. The present findings provided no clear evidence of the optimum iron concentration. However, there was adequate indication
that iron supplementation enhanced the performance of gilthead sea bream, mainly from a haematological and immunological point
of view. 相似文献
Phosphonate ions, which are degradation products of aluminium tris-O-ethyl phosphonate (fosetyl-aluminium) in plant tissues, had more effect in vitro against Phytophthora citrophthora than against Nectria haematococca. Both fungi were able to take up phosphonate ions. This uptake was realised against a concentration gradient and was affected by metabolic inhibitors. When examined over a 0.5 to 6.0 mm concentration range, phosphonate was carried by a single transport process obeying Michaelis-Menten kinetics, with a low affinity (high K′m). Further analysis by means of Hofstee plots indicated a somewhat faster phosphonate uptake by N. haematococca than by P. citrophthora, so it appears clearly that uptake was not involved in the selective toxicity of this compound. The continuous uptake of phosphonate by N. haematococca is correlated with an important utilisation of this ion by the fungal cells. This fact could be explained by a detoxification process corresponding to the oxidation of phosphonate to phosphate which could account for the low sensitivity of this fungus. Phosphonate uptake by P. citrophthora reached a maximum level after 20 min and then decreased to a constant level over the following period. During the incubation period phosphonate was incorporated directly without oxidation into phosphate. This incorporation could lead to a disturbance of the cell metabolism. 相似文献
To engineer resistance against potato virus X (PVX), the viral coat protein (CP) gene has been introduced into two potato cultivars. Stable expression of the gene in transgenic clones throughout the growing season has been obtained and resulted in considerably increased virus resistance. With varying frequencies depending on the original cultivar used, true-to-type PVX resistant transgenic clones have been obtained. Since deviant light sprout characteristics were invariably associated with aberrations in plant phenotype, they can be used in procedures to early screen for deviations. Furthermore, it has been possible to unequivocally discriminate between the original untransformed and independent transgenic cultivars. Although no relation has been found between the presence, if any, of the CP of potato virus Y (PVY) or potato leafroll virus (PLRV) in CP gene transgenic potato, appreciable levels of resistance to these viruses has been obtained. This suggests that the mechanism by which a viral CP gene in the potato genome evokes resistance, differs amongst various viruses. 相似文献
Experiments on the effect of various compounds with plant growth regulating activity led to the hypothesis that conditions inhibitory to indoleacetic acid (IAA) action or leading to a decrease in the IAA level in cucumber seedlings would be unfavourable for the development of cucumber scab, caused byCladosporium cucumerinum. Susceptibility decreased as the result of treatment with growth retardants, which cause an increase in IAA-oxidase activity in the plants, whereas application of indoleacetic acid or compounds expected to decrease the rate of oxidative breakdown of IAA in the seedlings resulted in an increase of susceptibility. Growing the plants under various periods of illumination also influenced both the susceptibility of the plants and the IAA-oxidase activity in the hypocotyl tissue.To obtain further information about the relation between the increase in resistance and the increase in the rate of IAA oxidation, the effect of one compound, viz. L-threo-β-phenylserine (abbr. phenylserine) was studied in more detail. The rate of oxidative breakdown of IAA was increased in extracts of hypocotyls and cotyledons of plants treated with phenylserine as compared with extracts of tissue of untreated plants. Extracts of phenylserine-treated plants were found to contain a higher cofactor and/or a lower inhibitor content than those of control plants. The substances involved were not identified, but this result may indicate a shift in the concentrations of various phenols in the tissue.The question must remain open whether a shift in the concentration of phenols some-how effected by phenylserine treatment determines both degree of susceptibility and rate of IAA oxidation independently, or whether the rate of IAA breakdown and the resulting change in IAA content in the plants is directly related to the degree of susceptibility. 相似文献
The decomposition of atrazine, linuron and picloram when incubated with two soils at four levels of application was measured for periods of 3 or 4 months. The applicability of zero-order, half-order, first-order and Michaelis-Menten kinetics was considered. None of the equations described the breakdown rates adequately in spite of the apparent theoretical advantage for using an expression of the Michaelis-Menten type. In each case the rate of decomposition increased as the initial herbicide concentration decreased. 相似文献
A potyvirus, for which the name Japanese hornwort mosaic virus (JHMV) is proposed, was isolated from Japanese hornwort plants
(Cryptotaenia japonica) with mosaic disease symptoms. The virus was used to inoculate mechanically 34 plants belonging to 33 species of 10 families.
Of these species seven from two families were infected. Faint chlorotic spots appeared on the inoculated leaves of Chenopodium quinoa and C. amaranticolor, but no systemic infection occurred in these plants. JHMV systemically infected only Umbelliferae plants; they did not infect
26 other species in eight families. JHMV was transmitted in a nonpersistent manner by aphids (Myzus persicae). The virus was a flexuous rod-shaped particle about 750 nm in length. Sequencing the nucleotides in the 3′ terminal region
of JHMV revealed that the coat protein contains 280 amino acids with a molecular mass of 32.2 kDa. The nucleotide sequence
of the coat protein of JHMV had the highest similarity with that of Zantedeschia mosaic virus (83.3%) compared to those of
other potyviruses (57.0%–64.9%). An antiserum against JHMV reacted strongly with JHMV and weakly with Potato virus Y. These results indicate that JHMV is a new potyvirus.

Biological weapons are considered as mass destruction and terror weapons. Terrorism including bioterrorism is the major threat in the future conflicts for our nations. The aim of bioterrorism is more related to the potential disorganisation of the society than to the lethal effects of the agents used. The dramatic consequences cannot be discarded, especially if contagious agents such viral are used. The preparation of specific defence measures is a major challenge for our countries.
The knowledge acquired from the struggle against natural infectious diseases and recent events are essential to improve behaviours to face the biological weapon threats. The defence attitude is based on the anticipation of the threat, the management of the victims, and the restoration of the operational capabilities. This global defence attitude implies six important functions: (i) alert, (ii) detection and diagnosis, (iii) availability of pharmaceutical countermeasures such as vaccine, sera and anti-infectious medicine and products, (iv) medical management of victims, (v) training and information, (vi) research and development.
Passive and active immunoprevention and immuntherapy belong to the approaches discussed in the context of bioterrorism countermeasures. Further researches might be focused on these topics. 相似文献
