An improved session initiation protocol signaling compression algorithm based on lempel ziv storer szymanski and Huffman

Session initiation protocol(SIP) has been chosen as the call/session control protocol in IP multimedia subsystem(IMS). However, large SIP messages create a bottleneck for SIP application in IP multimedia subsystem(IMS) in wireless applications. Based on the SigComp, and by comparing various compression algorithms, lempel ziv storer szymanski(LZSS) is selected as the basic algorithm to compress SIP in accordance with the characteristics of messages in SIP protocol. To further improve the compression ratio, a new algorithm is proposed based on LZSS and Huffman. The performance of the compression algorithm is analyzed via simulation.     

高山杜鹃花芽分化临界期生理生化研究

以不同花期高山杜鹃(Rhododendron hybrides)为试材,研究花芽分化临界期叶片内部分生理生化指标的变化。结果表明:花芽分化临界期叶片内可溶性糖、淀粉和叶绿素含量总体呈上升趋势,说明这些指标有利于花芽始创;整个营养生长期蛋白质含量变化不明显。其中早花品种可溶性糖、淀粉和叶绿素含量明显高于其他2个品种(P<0.05)。初步判断早花品种6月中旬以后进入花芽分化期。     

对小麦黄花叶病毒存在抗性差异的2种小麦品种中eIF4E序列分析

正小麦黄花叶病于1927年在日本首次报道~([1]),其病原包括小麦黄花叶病毒(Wheat yellow mosaic virus,WYMV)和中国小麦花叶病毒(Chinese wheat mosaic virus,CWMV)。我国各省麦区在1980年以后陆续报道了其发生与危害,对小麦生长发育构成严重影响。WYMV属于马铃薯Y病毒科(Potyviridae)大     

Can rice cultivar with submergence tolerant quantitative trait locus (SUB1) manage submergence stress better during reproductive stage?

Cultivars with submergence tolerant quantitative trait locus (SUB1) greatly enhance submergence tolerance at vegetative stage. Whether such cultivar is better off or not at reproductive stage submergence is not known. Due to uncertainties in rainfall pattern and delayed monsoon, flooding at later stages corresponding to reproductive stage is very much common now. Therefore, the main goal of the present investigation is to work out the effect of submergence at reproductive stage on yield and yield attributes in three rice cultivars namely Swarna, Swarna-Sub1, and Baliadhan (a traditional rice cultivar showed similar reaction to SUB1). The present study envisages that submergence at reproductive stage greatly decreased the grain yield even though there was no mortality of plants. Yield reduction was greater at flowering stage followed by booting and panicle initiation stage. Swarna-Sub1 performed significantly better compared to Swarna when submergence was given at panicle initiation stage. Swarna-Sub1 and Baliadhan both maintained greater quantities of carbohydrate and total dehydrogenase activity yet the yield reduction was greater in Swarna-Sub1 compared to Baliadhan due to greater chalf formation in the former. The cultivar with SUB1 is quite better off at reproductive stage submergence. Baliadhan is superior to Swarna-Sub1.     

利用耳组织、血液、牛奶样品检测牛病毒性腹泻病毒的比较

牛病毒性腹泻病以发热、口腔及消化道粘膜糜烂、腹泻为主要症状,可引起怀孕母牛流产或产畸型胎儿,给养牛业造成巨大的经济损失,该病已成为当前严重危害我国养牛业的传染病之一。由于大部分感染BVDV的牛不表现特征性的临床症状和病理变化,而且引起腹泻和消化道黏膜糜烂或溃疡的疾病很多,所以确诊需进行实验室检查。目前实验室检测BVDV的主要方法是利用美国IDEXX公司ELISA诊断试剂盒,通过BVDV抗原和抗体的检测区别牛群持续感染牛。用于检测BVDV的样品种类有许多种,绝大多数是采集血液(血清)或牛奶样品进行检测。本试验对奶牛进行耳组织采样,同时采集血液和牛奶,用三种样品在相同条件下同时检测BVDV抗原,用血清和牛奶样品检测抗体,比较样品的检测结果。结果表明,这三种样品检测结果具有一致性,且耳组织采样更宜于大面积筛查。     

Hydrogeomorphic controls of early post-logging successional pathways in a southern floodplain forest

Successful management or restoration of southern floodplain forest ecosystems requires an understanding of how subtle changes in environmental conditions such as site hydroperiod affect species suitability as well as the importance of recruitment limitation. In this research, we examined the effects of elevation, modeled flood regime, soil conditions and forest proximity on early, post-logging succession in clearcuts on the Congaree River floodplain near Columbia, South Carolina. Analyses of community composition clearly demonstrated that regeneration was structured along environmental gradients associated with site hydroperiod, with obligate wetland species dominating sites with the lowest elevations and deepest projected flood inundation depths. The effects of soil characteristics on site composition were in some cases inter-correlated with site hydroperiod, reflecting the influence of flood regime on soil drainage, aeration, and soil redox potential. In other cases, though, site composition was distinguished along a second, but equally important, orthogonal axis that was more reflective of the effects of geomorphic history on edaphic conditions. There was no evidence that fine-scale dispersal limitation affected succession, in part because of the effects of resprouting, but it is possible that past human activities have altered landscape-scale patterns of commercially valuable species such that seed and sprout sources for advance regeneration may have been absent at the time of the most recent clearcutting. Our examination of regeneration patterns, processes and controls clarified the relationships between current conditions and community composition, but, because patterns of elevation, flooding and soil characteristics across a floodplain have their roots in geomorphic processes, they are also ultimately a reflection of past hydrogeomorphic events.     

Gibberellin-mediated suppression of floral initiation in the long-day plant Rhododendron cv. Hatsugiri

In a number of woody perennial species a decrease in gibberellins concentrations in the apical meristems is required for floral initiation to occur. In Rhododendron, applied gibberellins inhibit flowering and gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitors promote flowering. However, unlike previous reports on other Rhododendron cultivars, Rhododendron cv. Hatsugiri is a faculatitive LDP. It was therefore unknown how gibberellins regulate flowering in this cultivar and if non-inductive short daylengths stimulate the productions of endogenous gibberellins to suppress flowering. By inhibiting floral initiation while not stimulating vegetative growth we found applications of GA₅ to best match the natural response of Rhododendron cv. Hatsugiri under short-day regimes. GA₅-mediated effects on flowering have previously been reported to be due to conversion to GA₆, however, GA₅ was found to be present in tissue samples at up to 0.57 ng g⁻¹ FW, while GA₆ was never found. In addition, foliar applications of [¹⁴C] GA₅ were not found to have metabolised to GA₆. In line with the hypothesis that gibberellins inhibit floral initiation in short days in Rhododendron cv. Hatsugiri, the concentration of GA₂₀, a precursor to many bioactive gibberellins, was higher in leaf tissues from plants in short days, compared to those in permissive long days when analysed using GC–MS.     

Effects of Runner Tip Size and Plugging Date on Fall Flowering in Short-Day Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) Cultivars

Abstract

Producing strawberry transplants from runner tips that were plugged ～1 month earlier (early July) than the standard time (early August) promoted fall flowering in some short-day strawberry cultivars. In 2002,100% of ‘Chandler’ transplants produced in early July flowered in the fall, but none of the August-plugged ‘Chandler’ transplants flowered in the fall. In 2003, 73% of ‘Chandler’ transplants produced in mid-July from average-size runner tips and less than half of transplants from small-size runner tips flowered in the fall. Again, August-plugged plants did not flower in the fall. Flowering was absent in ‘Northeaster’ plants. Under protected cultivation, July-plugged ‘Sweet Charlie’ plants bloomed earlier and produced more fruit in November and December than those plugged in August. This study showed that fall flowering in ‘Chandler’ and ‘Sweet Charlie’ strawberry is possible if the transplants are prepared by plugging runner tips in early July. This novel technique for propagating strawberry transplants for annual plasticulture combined with production under high tunnels creates an opportunity for strawberry production in early winter and again in the spring (double cropping) in the mid-Atlantic coast region.
